compliance with such covenant shall be determined on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP became effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such covenant is amended in a manner satisfactory to the
Borrower and the Majority Lenders. 
 Section 1.03. Time. 
 All references to time herein shall be references to Eastern Standard Time or Eastern Daylight Time, as the case may be, unless specified otherwise.

 ARTICLE II 
 THE CREDITS 
 Section 2.01. Extensions of Credit. 
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Advances, at any time and from time to
time until the Termination Date, to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed such Lender’s Commitment minus an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage multiplied by the Outstanding
Credits at such time. 
 (b) At no time shall the Outstanding Credits exceed the aggregate Commitments. The Borrower agrees to prepay
Advances (subject to payment of the breakage fee required pursuant to Section 8.05(b)(ii)), satisfy reimbursement obligations and/or deposit funds in the Cash Collateral Account in respect of undrawn Letters of Credit to the extent required to
ensure compliance with this provision at all times. 
 (c) No more than ten Eurodollar Borrowings shall be outstanding at any one time.

 (d) Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 2.11(a), and
reborrow Advances hereunder, on and after the date hereof and prior to the Termination Date, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein. 
 Section 2.02. Advances. 
 (a) Each Advance (other than Swingline Advances which shall be
made by the Swingline Lender in accordance with Section 2.03) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Advances made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of
any Lender to make any Advance shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Advance required to be
made by such other Lender). The Advances (other than Swingline Advances) comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 (or an aggregate principal amount
equal to the remaining balance of the available Commitments). 
 (b) Each Borrowing (other than with respect to Swingline Advances) shall be
comprised entirely of Eurodollar Advances or Base Rate Advances, as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Advance by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such
Lender to make such Advance; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Advance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Subject to Section 2.01(c), Borrowings of more
than one Type may be outstanding at the same time. 
 (c) Each Lender shall make each Advance to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date
thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent in New York, New York, not later than 12:00 noon, and the Administrative Agent shall, 

  

 20 








 
by 2:00 P.M., credit the amounts so received to the account or accounts specified from time to time in one or more notices delivered by the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from a Lender prior to the time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this subsection (c) and the Administrative 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 made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower (without waiving any claim against such Lender for such Lender’s failure to make such portion
available) severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is
repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate; provided,
however, that should both the Borrower and such Lender repay the Administrative Agent in accordance with this sentence, the Administrative Agent will forthwith return the amount in excess of the portion due to it under this sentence to the
Borrower. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. 
 Section 2.03. Borrowing and Conversion Procedures; Swingline Advances. 
 (a) In order to request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Borrowing Request
(a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 10:00 A.M. three Business Days before such Borrowing, and (b) in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing or a Swingline Advance, not later than 10:00 A.M. on the Business Day of such
Borrowing. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall in each case specify (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to comprise Eurodollar Advances or Base Rate Advances or will consist of a Swingline Advance; (ii) the date of
such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount thereof; and (iii) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto, which shall not end after the Termination Date. If no election as to
the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to
have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Each Swingline Advance shall be made and maintained as an LMIR Advance at all times. 
 (b) The Borrower may on any Business Day, by delivering a notice of conversion (a “Notice of Conversion”) to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 A.M. on the third Business Day prior to the date of the
proposed Conversion, and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.09 and 2.13, Convert any Borrowing of one Type or for one Interest Period into a Borrowing of another Type or for another Interest Period (other than Swingline Advances); provided,
however, that any Conversion of any Eurodollar Borrowing shall be made on, and only 

  

 21 








 
on, the last day of an Interest Period. Each such Notice of Conversion shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto and shall, within the
restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Borrowings to be Converted, (iii) if such Conversion will result in a Eurodollar Borrowing, the duration of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar
Borrowing, and (iv) the aggregate amount of Borrowings proposed to be Converted. If the Borrower shall not have provided a Notice of Conversion with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing on or prior to 10:00 A.M. on the third Business Day prior
to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, in the case of a Conversion to or in respect of Eurodollar Advances, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the third Business Day prior to the last day of the
Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such Borrowing will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert
into a Base Rate Borrowing. 
 (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Borrowing shall be requested or
Converted if the Interest Period with respect thereto would end after the Termination Date. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 and of each Lender’s portion of the
requested Borrowing or Conversion. 
 (d) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Swingline Lender agrees to make
Swingline Advances to the Borrower from time to time from on or after the date hereof through, but not including, the Termination Date; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Advances (after giving effect
to any amount requested), shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment; and provided further, that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swingline Advance to refinance any outstanding Swingline Advance. Each Swingline Advance shall be
in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000 (except that any such Swingline Advance may be in the aggregate amount of the unused Swingline Commitment). Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow,
repay and reborrow Swingline Advances, in each case under this Section 2.03. 
 (e) Swingline Advances shall be refunded by the Lenders
on demand by the Swingline Lender. Such refundings shall be made by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages and shall thereafter be reflected as Advances of the Lenders on the books and records of the Administrative
Agent. Each Lender shall fund its Commitment Percentage of Advances required to repay Swingline Advances outstanding upon demand by the Swingline Lender but in no event later than 1:00 P.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the next succeeding
Business Day after such demand is made. No Lender’s obligation to fund its Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Advance shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to fund its Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Advance, nor shall any
Lender’s Commitment Percentage be increased as a result of any such failure of any other Lender to fund its Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Advance. 
 (f) The Borrower shall pay to the Swingline Lender (i) the earlier of 14 days after the date a Swingline Advance is made and (ii) on demand, the outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Advances to the
extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Advances requested or required to be refunded. In addition, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge any account
maintained by the 

  

 22 








 
Borrower with the Swingline Lender (up to the amount available therein) in order to immediately pay the Swingline Lender the outstanding principal amount of
such Swingline Advances to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Advances requested or required to be refunded. If any portion of any such amount paid to
the Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all the Lenders in accordance with their respective
Commitment Percentages (unless the amounts so recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower pertain to a Swingline Advance extended after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default of which the Administrative Agent has received
notice in the manner required pursuant to Section 5.03 and which such Event of Default has not been waived in accordance with Section 8.08). 
 (g) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to refund Swingline Advances (other than Swingline Advances extended after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default of which the
Administrative Agent has received notice in the manner required pursuant to Section 5.03 and which such Event of Default has not been waived in accordance with Section 8.08) in accordance with the terms of this Section is absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article III. Further, each Lender agrees and acknowledges that if prior to the refunding of any
outstanding Swingline Advance pursuant to this Section, any event described in Section 6.01(e) or (f) shall have occurred, each Lender will, on the date the applicable Advance would have been made, purchase an undivided participating
interest in such Swingline Advance to be refunded in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount of such Swingline Advance. Each Lender will immediately transfer to the Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the
amount of its participation, and upon receipt of such amount the Swingline Lender will deliver to such Lender a certificate evidencing such participation dated the date of receipt of such funds and for such amount. Whenever, at any time after the
Swingline Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s participating interest in a Swingline Advance, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its participating
interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded). 
 Section 2.04. Letters of Credit. 
 (a) On the Effective Date, each letter of credit outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the Effective Date (each, an “Existing Letter of Credit”) shall be deemed to be a Letter of Credit
issued hereunder. Upon the written request of the Borrower and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, an LC Bank, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, shall issue one or more additional
Letters of Credit hereunder for the account of the Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries; provided that the Borrower shall be the account party for the purposes of this Agreement and shall have the reimbursement obligations with respect
thereto. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued in a form acceptable to the issuing LC Bank. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued (or the stated maturity thereof extended or terms thereof modified or amended) on not less than two Business Days’
(or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Borrower and the applicable LC Bank) prior 

  

 23 








 
notice thereof by delivery of a Request for Issuance of a Letter of Credit to such LC Bank (which shall promptly forward copies thereof to the Administrative
Agent for distribution to the Lenders). Each such request for issuance shall specify (i) the date (which shall be a Business Day) of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or the date of effectiveness of such extension, modification or amendment)
and the stated expiry date thereof (which shall be no later than the fifth Business Day preceding the Termination Date), (ii) the proposed stated amount of such Letter of Credit, (iii) the name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter
of Credit and (iv) a statement of drawing conditions applicable to such Letter of Credit, and if such request for issuance relates to an amendment or modification of a Letter of Credit, it shall be accompanied by the consent of the beneficiary
of the Letter of Credit thereto. Each request for issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be irrevocable unless modified or rescinded by the Borrower not less than one Business Day prior to the proposed date of issuance (or effectiveness) specified
therein. Not later than 12:00 noon on the proposed date of issuance (or effectiveness) specified in such request for issuance of a Letter of Credit, and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions precedent and the other requirements set forth
herein, the applicable LC Bank shall issue (or extend, amend or modify) such Letter of Credit and provide notice and a copy thereof to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall furnish (i) to each Lender, a
copy of such notice and (ii) to each Lender that may so request, a copy of such Letter of Credit. The LC Bank shall provide to the Administrative Agent, on a monthly basis, a list of the amounts and expiration dates of all undrawn Letters of
Credit, a copy of which list the Administrative Agent shall furnish to each Lender that may so request. 
 (b) No Letter of Credit shall be
requested or issued hereunder if, after the issuance thereof, (i) the LC Outstandings would exceed the LC Committed Amount or (ii) the Outstanding Credits would exceed the aggregate Commitments. No LC Bank shall be under any obligation to
issue any Letter of Credit if (A) any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such LC Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, (B) any law applicable to such LC
Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over such LC Bank shall prohibit, or request that such LC Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or
such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such LC Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such LC Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the date
hereof, or shall impose upon such LC Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the date hereof and that such LC Bank in good faith deems material to it or (C) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one
or more policies of such LC Bank. 
 (c) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable LC
Bank, on demand made by such LC Bank or the Administrative Agent, on and after each date on which such LC Bank shall pay any amount under any Letter of Credit issued by it, a sum equal to the amount so paid plus interest on such amount from the date
so paid by such LC Bank until repayment to such LC Bank in full at a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Advances plus, if any amount paid by such LC Bank under a Letter
of Credit is not reimbursed by the Borrower within four Business Days (whether with the proceeds of Advances or otherwise), 2%. 
  

 24 








 (d) No Letter of Credit shall be amended or modified after issuance without the prior written consent of
the Borrower, which consent may be sent by telecopy. 
 (e) Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit by an LC Bank, such LC Bank hereby
sells and transfers to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such LC Bank, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage in and to such Letter of Credit, including the obligations of
such LC Bank under and in respect thereof and the Borrower’s reimbursement and other obligations in respect thereof, whether now existing or hereafter arising. 
 (f) Each Lender, upon issuance of a Letter of Credit, shall be deemed to have purchased without recourse a risk participation from the applicable LC Bank in such Letter of Credit and the rights and obligations arising
thereunder, in each case in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the obligations under such Letter of Credit, and shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and be obligated to pay to
the applicable LC Bank therefor and discharge when due, its Commitment Percentage of the obligations arising under such Letter of Credit. Without limiting the scope and nature of each Lender’s participation in any Letter of Credit, if an LC
Bank shall not have been reimbursed in full for any payment made by such LC Bank under any Letter of Credit on the date of such payment, such LC Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each Lender of such non-reimbursement and the amount thereof. Upon receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Bank an amount equal to such Lender’s
Commitment Percentage of such Unreimbursed LC Disbursement, plus interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from the date of such payment by such LC Bank to the date of payment to such LC Bank by such
Lender. All such payments by each Lender shall be made in United States dollars and in same day funds not later than 3:00 P.M. on the later to occur of (A) the Business Day immediately following the date of such payment by such LC Bank and
(B) the Business Day on which such Lender shall have received notice of such non-reimbursement; provided, however, that if such notice is received by such Lender later than 11:00 A.M. on such Business Day, such payment shall be payable
on the next Business Day. Each Lender agrees that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. If a Lender shall have paid to such LC Bank its ratable portion of any Unreimbursed LC
Disbursement, together with all interest thereon required by the second sentence of this subsection (f), such Lender shall be entitled to receive its ratable share of all interest paid by the Borrower in respect of such Unreimbursed LC Disbursement.
If such Lender shall have made such payment to such LC Bank, but without all such interest thereon required by the second sentence of this subsection (f), such Lender shall be entitled to receive its ratable share of the interest paid by the
Borrower in respect of such Unreimbursed LC Disbursement only from the date it shall have paid all interest required by the second sentence of this subsection (f). 
 (g) The failure of any Lender to make any payment to an LC Bank in accordance with subsection (f) above shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make payment, but neither such LC Bank nor any
Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make such payment. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment to an LC Bank in accordance with subsection (f) above, then such Lender shall pay to such LC Bank forthwith on


  

 25 








 
demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day until the date such amount is repaid to such LC Bank at the Federal Funds
Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall in any way limit, waive or otherwise reduce any claims that any party hereto may have against any non-performing Lender. 
 (h) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment to an LC Bank in accordance with subsection (f) above, then, in addition to other rights and remedies that such LC Bank may have, the Administrative Agent is
hereby authorized, at the request of such LC Bank, to withhold and to apply to the payment of such amounts owing by such Lender to such LC Bank and any related interest, that portion of any payment received by the Administrative Agent that would
otherwise be payable to such Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, if any Lender shall fail to make any payment to an LC Bank in accordance with subsection (f) above, and such failure shall continue for five Business Days following written
notice of such failure from such LC Bank to such Lender, such LC Bank may acquire, or transfer to a third party acceptable to the Borrower, such acceptance, not to be unreasonably withheld, in exchange for the sum or sums due from such Lender, such
Lender’s interest in the related Unreimbursed LC Disbursement and all other rights of such Lender hereunder in respect thereof, without, however, relieving such Lender from any liability for damages, costs and expenses suffered by such LC Bank
as a result of such failure, and prior to such transfer, such LC Bank shall be deemed, for purposes of Section 2.15 and Article VI hereof, to be a Lender hereunder owed an Advance in an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount due and
payable by such Lender to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Bank pursuant to subsection (f) above. The purchaser of any such interest shall be deemed to have acquired an interest senior to the interest of such Lender and shall
be entitled to receive all subsequent payments that such LC Bank or the Administrative Agent would otherwise have made hereunder to such Lender in respect of such interest. 
 (i) The payment obligations of the Borrower under Section 2.04(c) in respect of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall be unconditional and
irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: 
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto or to such Letter of Credit; 
 (ii) any amendment or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the terms of this Agreement or such Letter of Credit; 
 (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary, or any transferee, of
such Letter of Credit (or any Person for which any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereby or by such Letter of Credit, or any
unrelated transaction; 
 (iv) any statement or any other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent,
invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 
  

 26 








 (v) payment in good faith by an LC Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or
certificate that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; 
 (vi) any failure to issue a Letter of Credit (or any amendment
thereto) in accordance with the specifications set forth by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.04(a), provided that the Borrower may cause such a Letter of Credit (or such amendment) to be replaced or rescinded if (A) it provides
written notice to the applicable LC Bank (which shall promptly forward copies to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders) of any discrepancy from such specifications within three Business Days after the Borrower shall have received
a copy of such Letter of Credit (or such amendment), (B) such discrepancy is material and consequential, and (C) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit consents in writing to such replacement or revocation; 
 (vii) any claim or potential claim for breach of warranty by the applicable LC Bank, the Lenders or the Borrower against the beneficiary of a Letter of
Credit; 
 (viii) any action or inaction taken or not taken by an LC Bank or any of its correspondents in connection with any Letter of
Credit or any sight draft, certificate or other document presented pursuant thereto, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, in good faith and in conformity with applicable law. 
 (j) Without limiting any other provision of this Section 2.04, for purposes of this Section 2.04 each LC Bank and any of its respective
correspondents: 
 (i) may rely upon any oral, telephonic, telegraphic, facsimile, electronic, written or other communication believed in good
faith to have been authorized by the Borrower, whether or not given or signed by an authorized person of the Borrower; 
 (ii) shall not be
responsible for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any message, advice or document in connection with a Letter of Credit, whether transmitted by courier or facsimile, or for errors in interpretation of
technical terms or in translation (and such LC Bank and its correspondents may transmit Letter of Credit terms without translating them), other than those errors resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct of such LC Bank or such
correspondent, as the case may be; 
 (iii) shall not be responsible, absent the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such LC Bank or
its correspondents, for verifying the identity or authority of any signer of, or the form, accuracy, genuineness, falsification or legal effect of, any draft, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit if such draft,
certificate or other document on its face appears to be in order; 
 (iv) shall not be responsible for any acts or omissions by, or the
solvency of, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other person or entity having any role in any transaction underlying such Letter of Credit; 
 (v) may accept or pay as complying with the terms and conditions of any Letter of Credit, any draft, certificate or other document appearing on its face (i) substantially to comply with the terms and conditions
of such Letter of Credit, (ii) to be signed or presented by, or issued 

  

 27 








 
to any successor of, the beneficiary or any other person required or authorized by such Letter of Credit to sign or present any sight draft, certificate or
other document under such Letter of Credit, including any administrator, executor, personal representative, trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, liquidator, receiver, or successor by merger or consolidation, or any other person or entity
purporting to act as the representative of or in place of any of the foregoing, or (iii) to have been signed, presented or issued after a change of name of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit; 
 (vi) may disregard any discrepancies known to it in any Letter of Credit that do not reduce, in the good faith judgment of such LC Bank or its
correspondents, the value of the performance to the Borrower by the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit in any transaction underlying such Letter of Credit; 
 (vii) shall not be responsible for the effectiveness or suitability of any Letter of Credit with respect to the Borrower’s purpose in requesting such Letter of Credit; 
 (viii) shall not be liable to the Borrower for any consequential or special damages, or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any
goods or other property subject to or underlying any Letter of Credit; 
 (ix) absent any gross negligence or willful misconduct on part of
such LC Bank or its correspondents, may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether pursuant to court order, to settle or compromise any claim wrongfully dishonored, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to
reimbursement of amounts paid under such Letter of Credit to the same extent as if such presentation had been honored initially; and 
 (x)
may pay amounts owed to any paying or negotiating bank (designated or permitted by the terms of any Letter of Credit) claiming that it rightfully honored, under the laws or practices of the place where it is located, any sight draft, certificate or
other document presented under any Letter of Credit. 
 None of the circumstances described in this Section 2.04(j) shall subject such LC Bank or any of
its correspondents to any liability to the Borrower. 
 (k) The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of any beneficiary or
transferee of any Letter of Credit. Neither the Administrative Agent, any LC Bank, the Lenders nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be liable or responsible for (i) the use
that may be made of such Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee thereof in connection therewith; (ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such
documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (iii) payment by any LC Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any
documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit; or (iv) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under a Letter of Credit, except that the Borrower shall have the right to bring
suit against the applicable LC Bank, and the applicable LC Bank shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower that the 

  

 28 








 
Borrower proves were caused by the applicable LC Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, including the applicable LC Bank’s willful failure
to make timely payment under such Letter of Credit following the presentation to it by the beneficiary thereof of a draft and accompanying certificate(s) that strictly comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and
not in limitation of the foregoing, any LC Bank may accept sight drafts and accompanying certificates presented under the Letter of Credit issued by such LC Bank that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and payment against such documents shall not constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence by such LC Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be obligated to
indemnify the LC Bank for damages caused by any LC Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. 
 (l) The Borrower acknowledges that
the rights and obligations of the applicable LC Bank under any Letter of Credit are independent of the existence, performance or nonperformance of any contract or arrangement underlying such Letter of Credit. The applicable LC Bank shall notify the
Borrower of its receipt of a sight draft, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit or of its decision to honor such Letter of Credit, and the applicable LC Bank will use reasonable efforts to provide such notice to the
Borrower before making payment against such sight draft, certificate or other document; provided that such payment shall not as a result thereof be delayed. The applicable LC Bank may, without incurring any liability to the Borrower or
impairing its entitlement to reimbursement under this Agreement, honor any Letter of Credit despite notice from the Borrower of, and without any duty to inquire into, any defense to payment or any adverse claims or other rights against the
beneficiary of the Letter of Credit or any other person. The applicable LC Bank shall have no duty to request or require the presentation of any document, including any default certificate, not required to be presented under the terms and conditions
of any Letter of Credit. The applicable LC Bank shall have no duty to seek any waiver of discrepancies from the Borrower, nor any duty to grant any waiver of discrepancies that the Borrower approves or requests. The applicable LC Bank shall have no
duty to extend the expiration date or term of any Letter of Credit or, except as provided under Section 2.04(i)(vi), to issue a replacement letter of credit on or before the expiration date of such Letter of Credit or the end of such term. The
applicable LC Bank shall not be liable to the Borrower under this Section 2.04(l) for any action or inaction by it, unless such action or inaction results from such LC Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 (m) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable LC Bank and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the “International
Standby Practices 1998” written by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each Letter of Credit. 
 Section 2.05. Fees 
 (a)
Facility Fee. In consideration of the Commitments being made available by the Lenders, at all times prior to the Pricing Change Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders, a
facility fee equal to the Facility Fee Rate in effect from time to time multiplied by the aggregate amount of the Commitments from time to time (regardless of usage), payable in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December
during the term of such Lender’s Commitment and on the earliest to occur of the Pricing Change Date or the Termination Date.

 (b) Commitment Fee. In consideration of the Commitments being made available to the
Lenders, at all times on and after the Pricing Change Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders, a commitment fee equal to the Commitment Fee Rate in effect from time to time multiplied by
the aggregate amount of the Unused Commitments from time to time, payable in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December during the term of such Lender’s Commitment and on the Termination Date. 
 (c) Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a letter of credit fee (the
“Letter of Credit Fee”), at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin with respect to Eurodollar Advances on the daily average amount of each such Lender’s Commitment Percentage multiplied by the LC Outstandings,
from the date hereof until the Termination Date, payable on the last day of each March, June, September and December during the term of such Lender’s Commitment, and on the Termination Date. 
 (d) Amendment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders that execute and deliver
counterparts of this Agreement on or prior to January 16, 2009, an amendment fee equal to (i) 0.625% of the Commitments of such Lenders under this Agreement on the date hereof, payable on January 16, 2009, and (ii) 0.625% of the
Commitments of such Lenders under this Agreement on the date of the EDFI Acquisition, payable on the date of the EDFI Acquisition. 
 (e)
Additional Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, such other fees as are required to be paid to it under the Fee Letters. The Borrower shall pay to each LC Bank, for its own account, such other
fees relating to the issuance of Letters of Credit as have been or may from time to time be agreed between them. 
 (f) Nonrefundable;
Basis for Calculation. Once paid, none of the facility fees, amendment fees, commitment fees, the Letter of Credit Fees or other fees provided for in this Section 2.05 shall be refundable under any circumstances. All fees shall be
computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. 
 Section 2.06. Repayment of Advances;
Evidence of Indebtedness. 
 (a) The outstanding principal balance of each Advance, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon
shall be due and payable on the Termination Date. 
 (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or
accounts evidencing the indebtedness to such Lender resulting from each Advance made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

 (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Advance made hereunder, the Type
of each Advance made and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to 

  

 30 








 
become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from
the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to subsections (b) and
(c) of this Section 2.06 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Advances and interest thereon in accordance with their terms. 
 (e) Any Lender may request that its Advances be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note
payable to the order of such Lender. Thereafter, the Advances evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 8.04) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of
the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 8.04, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Advances once again be evidenced as described in
subsections (a) and (b) above. 
 Section 2.07. Interest. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (d) below and Sections 2.08, 2.09 and 2.13, the Advances comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear
interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days), at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (b) Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.08, the Advances comprising each LMIR Advance shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number
of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) for each day from the date such LMIR Advance is made to the date it is paid, prior to the EDFI Acquisition, at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Market Index Rate for such day plus the Applicable
Margin. 
 (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08, the Advances comprising each Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest (computed
on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365/366 days, as the case may be, for periods during which the Base Rate is determined by reference to Wachovia prime rate and 360 days for other periods) at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (d) Interest on each Advance shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
applicable to such Advance except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. 
 (e) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender any costs actually incurred by such Lender that are attributable to such Lender’s compliance with regulations of the Board requiring the maintenance of reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or
including Eurocurrency Liabilities. Such costs shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender in the form of additional interest on 

  

 31 








 
the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Advance or LMIR Advance of such Lender, from the date such Advance is made until such principal amount is paid
in full, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period for such Advance from (ii) the rate obtained by dividing such Eurodollar Rate by a
percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage of such Lender for such Interest Period, payable on each Interest Payment Date for such Advance. Such additional interest shall be determined by such Lender and notified to the
Borrower through the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, provided, that failure to so notify the Borrower shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to request and
receive additional interest under this subsection (d). A certificate as to the amount of such additional interest, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error. Each Lender claiming any additional interest payable pursuant to this subsection shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by
the Borrower or to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional interest that may thereafter be due and payable and would not,
in the good faith determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 
 Section 2.08. Default Interest.

 Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.04(c), if and for so long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Advance outstanding hereunder shall bear interest at the rate otherwise applicable to such Advance plus 2%. Without limiting the foregoing, if the Borrower shall default in the payment of any amount becoming due hereunder
(other than the principal amount of any Advance), whether by scheduled maturity, notice of prepayment, acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower shall on demand from time to time from the Administrative Agent pay interest, to the extent permitted by
law, on such defaulted amount up to (but not including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum (computed as provided in Section 2.07(c)) equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for
Base Rate Advances plus 2%. 
 Section 2.09. Alternate Rate of Interest. 
 In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the
Administrative Agent shall have determined (i) that dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Eurodollar Advances comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market or (ii) that reasonable means do
not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give telecopy notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination under clause
(i) or (ii) above, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (x) any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant
to Section 2.03 shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Borrowing and (y) each Eurodollar Advance then outstanding will automatically, on the last day of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate
Advance. In the event the Majority Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the rates at which dollar deposits are 

  

 32 








 
being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Advances during any Interest Period, the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of such notice and until the Majority Lenders shall have advised the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any request by the Borrower for a
Eurodollar Borrowing shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Borrowing and (B) each Eurodollar Advance then outstanding will automatically, on the last day of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance.
Each determination by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be made in good faith and shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the Administrative Agent shall, upon request, provide to the Borrower a certificate setting
forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. 
 Section 2.10. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. 

 (a) The Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Termination Date. In addition, effective upon the date of the EDFI Acquisition,
the Commitments of the Lenders will automatically reduce ratably to $2,320,000,000. 
 (b) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior
irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of
the Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000, (ii) no such termination or reduction shall be made that would reduce the aggregate Commitments to an amount (A) less than the
Outstanding Credits on the date of such termination or reduction (after giving effect to Section 2.11(b)) or (B) less than $25,000,000, unless the result of such termination or reduction referred to in this clause (B) is to reduce the
aggregate Commitments to $0 and (iii) the definition of “LC Committed Amount” set forth in Section 1.01 shall be deemed amended to reflect an LC Committed Amount equal to the aggregate Commitments following such reduction. The
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) and of each Lender’s portion of any such termination or reduction of the aggregate Commitments. 
 (c) Each reduction in the Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. The Borrower
shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction of the Commitments, the fees payable on the Commitments under Section 2.05 so terminated or reduced accrued through the date of
such termination or reduction. 
 Section 2.11. Prepayment. 
 (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon giving telecopy notice (or
telephone notice promptly confirmed by telecopy) to the Administrative Agent: (i) before 10:00 A.M. three Business Days prior to prepayment, in the case of Eurodollar Advances, and (ii) before 10:00 A.M. one Business Day prior to
prepayment, in the case of Base Rate Advances; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000. 
  

 33 








 (b) If at any time (i) the aggregate Outstanding Credits exceed the aggregate Commitments or
(ii) the aggregate LC Outstandings exceed the LC Committed Amount, the Borrower shall pay or prepay so much of the Borrowings and/or deposit funds in the Cash Collateral Account in respect of undrawn Letters of Credit outstanding on such date,
as applicable, as shall be necessary in order that the Outstanding Credits will not exceed the Commitments and the LC Outstandings will not exceed the LC Committed Amount. 
 (c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be
irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing (or portion thereof) by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.11 shall be subject to Section 8.05(b) but otherwise
without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.11 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of payment. 
 Section 2.12. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if after the date of this Agreement the enactment of any new law or regulation, or any change in
applicable existing law or regulation, or in the interpretation or administration of the foregoing by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law), shall change the
basis of taxation of payments to any Lender hereunder (except for changes in respect of taxes on the overall net income of such Lender or its lending office imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s principal executive office or
lending office is located), or shall result in the imposition, modification or applicability of any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender, or shall
result in the imposition on any Lender or the London interbank market of any other condition affecting this Agreement, such Lender’s Commitment or any Extension of Credit made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to
increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Extension of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed in good faith by
such Lender to be material, then the Borrower shall, upon receipt of the notice and certificate provided for in Section 2.12(c), promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional
costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption after the date hereof of any law, rule,
regulation or guideline arising out of the July 1988 report of the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards,” or the adoption after
the date hereof of any other law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any of the foregoing or in the interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any governmental authority, central bank or
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any lending office of such Lender) or any Lender’s holding company with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or
not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding 

  

 34 








 
company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, such Lender’s Commitment or the Extensions of Credit made by such Lender pursuant hereto to a level
below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with
respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed in good faith by such Lender to be material, then from time to time such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for any such reduction suffered will be paid by the Borrower to
such Lender. 
 (c) A certificate of each Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender or its
holding company as specified in subsection (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, and containing an explanation in reasonable detail of the manner in which such amount or amounts shall have been determined, shall be delivered to the
Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay each Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same. Each Lender shall give prompt notice to the
Borrower of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, that it has determined will require compensation by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.12. If any such law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or
condition described in this Section 2.12 shall later be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or inapplicable to the Borrower or such Lender, such Lender shall promptly refund to the Borrower any amounts previously paid by the
Borrower to such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12. 
 (d) Failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased
costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period;
provided that such Lender shall not be entitled to demand compensation hereunder if such demand is made more than 90 days following the later of such Lender’s incurrence or sufferance thereof and such Lender’s actual knowledge of
the event giving rise to such Lender’s rights under this Section. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation,
guideline or other change or condition that shall have occurred or been imposed. 
 (e) Each Lender agrees that it will designate a different
lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender. 
 Section 2.13. Change in Legality. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the introduction of, or any change in, any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any governmental authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall
make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Advance or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Advance, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent,
such Lender may: 
 (i) declare that Eurodollar Advances will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon any request for a
Eurodollar Borrowing shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for a Base Rate Advance unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn (any Lender delivering such a declaration hereby agreeing to withdraw such declaration promptly
upon determining that such event of illegality no longer exists); and 
  

 35 








 (ii) require that all outstanding Eurodollar Advances made by it be Converted to Base Rate Advances, in
which event all such Eurodollar Advances shall be automatically Converted to Base Rate Advances as of the effective date of such notice as provided in subsection (b) below. 
 Prior to any Lender giving notice to the Borrower under this Section 2.13, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office, if such change would avoid such
event of illegality and would not, in the sole reasonable determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of
principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Advances that would have been made by such Lender or the Converted Eurodollar Advances of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the Base Rate Advances made by such
Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the Conversion of, such Eurodollar Advances. 
 (b) For purposes of this Section 2.13, a notice by
any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Advance, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurodollar Advance; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt. 
 Section 2.14. Pro Rata Treatment. 
 Except as required under Section 2.13 or 2.17, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Advances, each payment of facility fees and Letter of Credit Fees, each reduction
of the Commitments and each Conversion of any Advance shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective
Outstanding Credits of the Lenders). For purposes of determining the available or used Commitments at any time, the LC Outstandings shall be deemed to have utilized the Commitments of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective
Commitments. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower
whole dollar amount. 
 Section 2.15. Sharing of Setoffs. 
 Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under
Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any
other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Extension of Credit, in any case as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Extensions of Credit shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion
of the Extensions of Credit of any other 

  

 36 








 
Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase
price for, a participation in the Extensions of Credit of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Extensions of Credit and participations in the Extensions of Credit held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion
to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Extensions of Credit then outstanding as the principal amount of its Extensions of Credit prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount
of all Extensions of Credit outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that, if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this
Section 2.15 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without
interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in an Extension of Credit deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or
counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made an Extension of Credit in the amount of such participation. 
 Section 2.16. Payments. 
 (a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing, any fees, any reimbursements in respect of Letters of Credit that have been paid by any Lender or other amounts) hereunder without setoff,
counterclaim, defense, recoupment or other deduction from an account in the United States not later than 12:00 noon on the date when due in dollars to the Administrative Agent at its offices specified in Section 8.01, in immediately available
funds. 
 (b) Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing, any fees, any reimbursements in respect of Letters
of Credit that have been paid by any Lender or other amounts) hereunder shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall
in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, if applicable. 
 Section 2.17. Taxes. 
 (a) Any and all payments of principal and interest on any Outstanding Credit, or of any fees or indemnity or expense reimbursements by the Borrower
hereunder (“Borrower Payments”) shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.16, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all current or future United States Federal, state and local taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect to such Borrower Payments, but only to the extent reasonably attributable to such Borrower Payments, excluding (i) income taxes imposed on the net income of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender and (ii) franchise taxes imposed on the net income of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in each case by the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender is organized or
doing business through offices or branches located therein, or any political subdivision thereof (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, 

  

 37 








 
withholdings and liabilities, collectively or individually, “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Taxes from or
in respect of any sum payable hereunder to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an “additional amount”) necessary so that after making all required deductions (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17), the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law any current 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 from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the Fee Letters (such
taxes being “Other Taxes”). 
 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender (as the case
may be) for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes with respect to Borrower Payments paid by such person, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses)) arising therefrom or
with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant United States governmental authority. A certificate setting forth and containing an explanation in reasonable detail of the manner in
which such amount shall have been determined and the amount of such payment or liability prepared by a Lender or the Administrative Agent on their behalf, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. Such
indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date the Administrative Agent or the Lender, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor. If any Taxes or Other Taxes for which the Administrative Agent or any Lender has received
indemnification from the Borrower hereunder shall be finally determined to have been incorrectly or illegally asserted and are refunded to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall
promptly forward to the Borrower any such refunded amount. 
 (d) As soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days, after the date of
any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to the relevant United States governmental authority, the Borrower will deliver to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.01, the original or a certified copy of a
receipt issued by such United States governmental authority evidencing payment thereof. 
 (e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other
agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section 2.17 shall survive the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Extensions of Credit made hereunder. 
 (f) Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof
or the District of Columbia (a “Non-U.S. Payee”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two copies of either United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or applicable successor
forms, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Payee claiming 

  

 38 








 
complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, United States Federal withholding tax on payments by the Borrower under this Agreement. Such forms shall be
delivered by each Non-U.S. Payee on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Lender that becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance (a “Transferee”), on
or prior to the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance) and on or before the date, if any, such Non-U.S. Payee changes its Applicable Lending Office by designating a different lending office (a “New Lending
Office”). In addition, each Non-U.S. Payee shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Payee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.17(f),
a Non-U.S. Payee shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.17(f) that such Non-U.S. Payee is not legally able to deliver. 
 (g) The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Non-U.S. Payee, or to pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Payee, in respect of United States Federal, state or local withholding tax pursuant to
subsection (a) or (c) above to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States Federal, state or local withholding tax existed on the date such Non-U.S. Payee became a party to this Agreement (or,
in the case of a Transferee, on the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such Transferee becomes a Lender) or, with respect to payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Non-U.S. Payee designated such New Lending
Office with respect to an Extension of Credit; provided, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to any Lender that becomes a Lender or New Lending Office that becomes a New Lending Office as a result of an assignment or
designation made at the request of the Borrower; and provided further, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Lender through a
New Lending Office would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (i)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the person making the assignment or transfer to such Lender, the Administrative Agent or such Lender
making the designation of such New Lending Office would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, transfer or designation or (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts or such indemnity payments would not have
arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Payee to comply with the provisions of subsection (g) above or (i) below. 
 (h) Any of
the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming any indemnity payment or additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or
document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such indemnity payment or
additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as the case may be), be otherwise disadvantageous to such person. Subject always to Section 2.17(i), any of
the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming any indemnity payment or additional amount payable pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall, upon request of the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to
obtain a refund of any Tax or Other Tax giving rise to such indemnity payment or additional amount payable and shall pay any refund (after deduction of any Tax or Other Tax paid or payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender as a result of
such refund), not exceeding the increased amount paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.17, to the Borrower, provided, however, that (i) the Administrative 

  

 39 








 
Agent or Lender, as the case may be, shall not be obligated to disclose to the Borrower any information regarding its tax affairs or computations and
(ii) nothing in this Section 2.17(h) shall interfere with the right of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to arrange its tax affairs as it deems appropriate. 
 (i) Nothing contained in this Section 2.17 shall require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available to the Borrower any of its tax
returns (or any other information) that it deems to be confidential or proprietary. 
 Section 2.18. Assignment of Commitments
Under Certain Circumstances. 
 In the event that any Lender shall have delivered a notice or certificate pursuant to
Section 2.12 or 2.13, or the Borrower shall be required to make additional payments to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under Section 2.17, the Borrower shall have the right, at its own expense, upon notice to the Administrative

 55 








 (l) A Change in Control shall have occurred. 
 Section 6.02. Remedies. 
 (a) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then, and in any such event, (i) the Administrative Agent (A) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Majority Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare
the obligation of each Lender to make Advances and the LC Banks to issue Letters of Credit to be terminated, whereupon the same shall immediately terminate; and/or (B) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the required creditors
under the Security Documents, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Advances, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Advances, all such interest and all
such amounts shall become and be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, (ii) any LC Bank may issue a notice to the Borrower for
and in accordance with each outstanding Letter of Credit providing that such LC Bank’s obligations under each such Letter of Credit shall terminate on the fifth Business Day following the delivery of such notice, and (iii) and the
Collateral Agent shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Majority Lenders, exercise in respect of any or all Collateral, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided herein, in the Security Documents or otherwise available to
the Collateral Agent, all rights and remedies under applicable law of a secured party on default. If any Event of Default described in subsection (f) or (g) of Section 6.01 shall occur and be continuing with respect to any Loan Party,
then (A) the obligation of each Lender to make Advances and the obligation of the LC Banks to issue Letters of Credit shall automatically immediately terminate and (B) the Advances, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable by the
Borrower under this Agreement shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. 
 (b) Cash Collateral Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no notice given or declaration made by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall affect the obligation of the LC Banks to make any payment under any Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; provided, however, that upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Majority Lenders, upon notice to the Borrower, require the Borrower to deposit with the Administrative
Agent an amount in the cash collateral account (the “Cash Collateral Account”) described below equal to the aggregate maximum amount available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time. Such Cash
Collateral Account shall at all times be free and clear of all rights or claims of third parties. The Cash Collateral Account shall be maintained with the Administrative Agent in the name of, and under the sole dominion and control of, the
Administrative Agent, and amounts deposited in the Cash Collateral Account shall bear interest at a rate equal to the rate generally offered by Wachovia for deposits equal to the amount deposited by the Borrower in the Cash Collateral Account, for a
term to be determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a Lien on, and hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders
all of its right, title and interest in, the Cash Collateral Account and all funds from time to time on deposit therein to secure its reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit. If any drawings then 

  

 56 








 
outstanding or thereafter made are not reimbursed in full immediately upon demand or, in the case of subsequent drawings, upon being made, then, in any such
event, the Administrative Agent may, and, upon the Borrower’s request, shall, apply the amounts then on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account, in such priority as the Administrative Agent shall elect, toward the payment in full of any or all
of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder as and when such obligations shall become due and payable. Upon payment in full, after the termination of the Letters of Credit, of all such obligations, the Administrative Agent will repay and reassign
to the Borrower any cash then on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account and the Lien of the Administrative Agent on the Cash Collateral Account and the funds therein shall automatically terminate. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 THE AGENTS

 Section 7.01. Authorization and Action. 
 (a) In order to expedite the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Wachovia is hereby appointed to act as Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Lenders. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on behalf of such Lender and to exercise such powers as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms and provisions of
this Agreement, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent is hereby expressly authorized by the Lenders, without hereby limiting any implied authority, (a) to receive on behalf of the
Lenders all payments of principal of and interest on the Outstanding Credits and all other amounts due to the Lenders under this Agreement, and promptly to distribute to each Lender its proper share of each payment so received; (b) to give
notice on behalf of each of the Lenders to the Borrower of any Event of Default of which the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge acquired in connection with its agency under this Agreement; (c) to distribute to each Lender copies of all
notices, financial statements and other materials delivered by the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Documents as received by the Administrative Agent and (d) to enter into the Security Documents. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the administration and enforcement of this Agreement if it undertakes such administration and enforcement in a manner substantially equal to that which Wachovia accords credit facilities similar to the credit facility
hereunder for which it is the sole lender. 
 (b) In addition, Wachovia is hereby appointed to act as Collateral Agent on behalf of the
Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the LC Banks and the Swingline Lender (the “Secured Parties”). Each Secured Party hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such actions on behalf of such Secured Party and
to exercise such powers as are specifically delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Collateral Agent
is hereby expressly authorized by each Secured Party, without hereby limiting any implied authority, to enter into the Collateral Documents, to hold any or all of the Collateral on behalf of the Secured Parties and to exercise the Secured
Parties’ rights in respect of the Collateral at the direction of the Majority Lenders. Before the Collateral Agent acts of refrains 

  

 57 








 
from acting, it may, in the absence of instructions from the Majority Lenders, require an officers’ certificate of the applicable Loan Party and/or an
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Collateral Agent with respect to the proposed action or inaction. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.
Whenever in the administration of any Security Document the Collateral shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking of suffering or omitting to take any act hereunder or thereunder, such matter (unless
other evidence in respect thereof be herein or therein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Collateral Agent, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an officers’
certificate delivered to the Collateral Agent, and such certificate, in the absence of gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Collateral Agent, shall be full warrant to the Collateral Agent for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be
taken by it under the provisions of any Security Document upon the faith thereof. The Borrower will pay to the Collateral Agent all fees for the Collateral Agent’s services as may be separately agreed in a Fee Letter described in clause
(v) of the definition of such term. 
 Section 7.02. Agent’s Reliance, Etc. 
 Neither any Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable as such for any action taken or omitted by any of them except
for its or his or her own gross negligence or willful misconduct, or be responsible for any statement, warranty or representation in any Credit Document or the contents of any document delivered in connection therewith, or be required to ascertain
or to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements contained in any Credit Document. The Agents shall not be responsible to the Lenders for the due execution,
genuineness, validity, enforceability or effectiveness of any Credit Document or other instruments or agreements. Each Agent 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. Each Agent may deem and treat the Lender that makes any Advance as the
holder of the indebtedness resulting therefrom for all purposes hereof until it shall have received notice from such Lender, given as provided herein, of the transfer thereof. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or refraining
from acting, in accordance with written instructions signed by the Majority Lenders and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, such instructions and any action or inaction pursuant thereto shall be binding on all the Lenders. Each Agent
shall, in the absence of knowledge to the contrary, be entitled to rely on any instrument or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons. Neither Agent nor any of
its directors, officers, employees or agents shall have any responsibility to the Borrower on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any Lender of any of its obligations under this Agreement or to any Lender on account of the
failure of or delay in performance or breach by any other Lender or any Loan Party of any of their respective obligations under any Credit Document or in connection therewith. Each Agent may execute any and all duties under any Credit Document by or
through agents, sub-agents or employees and shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel selected by it with respect to all matters arising under the Credit Documents and shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered in good
faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel. 
  

 58 








 Section 7.03. Discretionary Action. 
 The Lenders hereby acknowledge that each Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the
provisions of any Credit Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Majority Lenders. 
 Section 7.04.
Successor Agents. 
 Each Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the
Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent
gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank, and reasonably acceptable to the
Borrower, provided that (i) the Borrower shall be deemed to have accepted the appointment of such successor Agent if it shall not have objected to such appointment within five Business Days of notice, sent by overnight courier service,
of such appointment by the retiring Agent and (ii) if no successor shall be appointed by the retiring Agent then the Lenders shall perform all such duties and obligations until a successor is appointed and has accepted such appointment. Any
resignation by Wachovia, as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Swingline Lender, and any appointment of a successor Administrative Agent shall also constitute its appointment as Swingline Lender.
Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent under this Agreement by a successor bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent in its capacity as Administrative
Agent (and Swingline Lender) or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the retiring Agent (and Swingline Lender, if applicable) shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any Agent’s resignation under this
Agreement, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent or Swingline Lender, if applicable. 
 Section 7.05. Agents and Affiliates. 
 Wachovia and its Affiliates (including, without limitation, Wachovia Capital Markets LLC) may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries as though such Wachovia were not an Agent hereunder. With respect to the Extensions of Credit made and Letters of Credit issued and all obligations owing to Wachovia or such Person shall have the same rights and powers under this
Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include Wachovia in its individual capacity. 
 Section 7.06. Indemnification. 
 Each Lender agrees (i) to reimburse each Agent, on demand, in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its Commitments hereunder or, if the Commitments shall have been terminated, the amount of its Outstanding Credits) of any
expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders in its role as Agent, including counsel fees and compensation of agents paid for services rendered 

  

 59 








 
on behalf of the Lenders, which shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower and (ii) to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and any
of its directors, officers, employees or agents, on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share, from and against any and all liabilities, taxes, 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 it in any way relating to or arising out of any Credit Document or any action taken or omitted by it under any Credit Document to the extent the same shall not
have been reimbursed by the Borrower; provided that no Lender shall be liable to the any Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents. 
 Section 7.07. Bank Credit Decision. 
 Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon any Credit Document
or any related agreement or any document furnished thereunder. 
 Section 7.08. Relationship with Lenders. 
 Neither Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders
as such. Without limiting the foregoing, each Agent shall not have and shall not be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any Agent in deciding to enter into
this Agreement, or in taking or not taking any action hereunder. 
 Section 7.09. Arrangers. 
 Neither of Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, Banc of America Securities LLC nor Citigroup Global Markets Inc. by virtue of their designation as “Co-Lead
Arrangers and Co-Book Managers” with respect to this Agreement, shall have any duties under any Credit Document.

beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, 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 thereto or the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any obligations under this Agreement or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignor and such assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received
copies of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.03 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; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender 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; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to
exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with
their terms all the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 
 (d) The Administrative
Agent shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and the principal amount of Outstanding Credits
owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by
each party hereto, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed
Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the processing and recordation fee referred to in subsection (b) above and, if required, the written consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent to such
assignment, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register. 
 (f) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or entities (other than the Borrower, the Borrower’s Affiliates, the Borrower’s
Subsidiaries or any natural person) in all or a portion of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Outstanding Credits owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to this Agreement for the performance of such obligations, (iii) each participating bank or other
entity shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.12 and 8.05 and of the tax provision contained in Section 2.17 to the same extent as if 

  

 63 








 
it were the selling Lender (and limited to the amount that could have been claimed by the selling Lender had it continued to hold the interest of such
participating bank or other entity, unless the sale of the participation is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent), except that all claims made pursuant to such Sections shall be made through such selling Lender, (iv) if a
participant would be a Non-U.S. Payee if it were a Lender, such participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such participant and such participant agrees, for the
benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.17(f) as though it were a Lender, and (v) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such selling Lender in connection with
such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers (x) decreasing any fees payable hereunder or the amount of principal of, or the rate at which interest is payable on, the Outstanding Credits, (y) extending any principal
payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Outstanding Credits or (z) extending the Commitments). Such participations shall not create any “security” (as the word “security” is defined under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended) of the Borrower. 
 (g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or
proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided
that, prior to any such disclosure, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the
confidentiality of any such information. 
 (h) Any Lender may at any time pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to a
Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge shall release any Lender from its obligations hereunder or substitute any such Bank for such Lender as a party hereto. In order to facilitate such an assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank, the
Borrower shall, at the request of the assigning Lender, duly execute and deliver to the assigning Lender a promissory note or notes evidencing the Advances made to the Borrower by the assigning Lender hereunder. 
 Section 8.05. Expenses; Indemnity. 
 (a) The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with entering into this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and in connection with any
amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby contemplated are consummated), or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement of their rights in
connection with the Credit Documents or in connection with the Extensions of Credit made hereunder, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and, in the case of enforcement following an Event of
Default, counsel for the Lenders. 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender against any loss, calculated in accordance with the
next sentence, or reasonable expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) any failure by the Borrower to borrow or to Convert any Advance 

  

 64 








 
hereunder (including as a result of the Borrower’s failure to fulfill any of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III) after irrevocable
notice of such borrowing or Conversion has been given pursuant to Section 2.03, (ii) any payment, prepayment or Conversion, or assignment of a Eurodollar Advance, LMIR Advance or Base Rate Advance of the Borrower required by any other
provision of this Agreement or otherwise made or deemed made on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, or (iii) any default in payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Outstanding Credit
or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the due date thereof, whether by scheduled maturity or otherwise) or (iv) the occurrence of any Event of Default, including, in each such case, any loss or
reasonable expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred by such Lender in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, or with respect to commitments made or obligations undertaken with third parties, to effect or maintain
any Advance hereunder or any part thereof as a Eurodollar Advance, LMIR Advance or a Base Rate Advance. Such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining the
funds for the Advance being paid, prepaid, Converted or not borrowed (assumed to be, as applicable, the Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate applicable thereto) for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment or failure to borrow or Convert to
the last day of the Interest Period for such Extension of Credit (or, in the case of a failure to borrow or Convert the Interest Period for such Extension of Credit that would have commenced on the date of such failure) over (ii) the amount of
interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would be realized by such Lender in re-employing the funds so paid, prepaid or not borrowed or Converted for such period or Interest Period, as the case may be. 
 (c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each of their Affiliates (including, in the case of Wachovia, Wachovia
Capital Markets LLC) and the directors, officers, employees, advisors, attorneys-in-fact and agents of the foregoing (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and
all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses, incurred by any Indemnitee arising out of (i) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
(ii) the use of the proceeds of the Extensions of Credit, (iii) any documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any governmental authority by reason of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (iv) the utilization, storage,
disposal, treatment, generation, transportation, release or ownership of any Hazardous Substance (A) at, upon, or under any property of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or (B) by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates
at any time and in any place, or (v) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, including any of the foregoing arising from the negligence, whether sole
or concurrent, on the part of any Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee; provided, further, that the Borrower agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, without the prior written
consent of each Indemnitee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification could be sought
under the indemnification provisions of this Section 8.05(c) (whether or not any Indemnitee is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding), if such settlement, compromise or consent includes any 

  

 65 








 
statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee or involves any payment of money or other value by any
Indemnitee or any injunctive relief or factual findings or stipulations binding on any Indemnitee. 
 (d) The provisions of this Section
shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the termination of the Commitments, the repayment of any of the Outstanding
Credits, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable on written demand
therefor. 
 (e) Three Business Days prior to the date on which any amount or amounts due under this Section are payable in accordance with a
demand from a Lender or the Administrative Agent for such amount or amounts, such Lender or the Administrative Agent will cause to be delivered to the Borrower a certificate, which shall be conclusive absent manifest error, setting forth any amount
or amounts that such person is entitled to receive pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section and containing an explanation in reasonable detail of the manner in which such amount or amounts shall have been determined. 
 Section 8.06. Right of Setoff. 
 If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) the request shall have been made or the consent granted by the Majority Lenders as specified by Section 6.02 to authorize the Administrative Agent to
declare the Extensions of Credit of the Borrower due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.02, 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 the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the
Borrower, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement, and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. 
 Section 8.07. Applicable Law. 
 THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 Section 8.08. Waivers; Amendment. 
 (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any
abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this
Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be
permitted by 

  

 66 








 
subsection (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or
demand on the Borrower or any Subsidiary in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
 (b) No provision of this Agreement may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Majority
Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Outstanding Credit, or waive
or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Outstanding Credit, without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) increase the Commitment of any Lender, decrease the fees owing
to any Lender or postpone the payment of any fee owing to any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend, waive or modify the provisions of Section 2.14, Section 2.15 or Section 8.04(h), the provisions
of this Section or the definition of the “Majority Lenders”, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) release or permit the transfer of the obligations of the Borrower hereunder without the prior written consent of each
Lender, except as permitted by Section 5.02(b) or (v) change the definition of LC Committed Amount without the prior written consent of the LC Bank (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided further, however, that
no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the LC Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the LC Bank, as the case may be, provided,
further that this Agreement may be amended and restated without the consent of any Lender, any LC Bank, or the Administrative Agent if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender, LC Bank or the Administrative Agent, as
the case may be, shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended and restated) or have any Commitment or other obligation hereunder and shall have been paid in full all amounts payable hereunder to such Lender, such LC Bank or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section shall bind any assignee of its rights and interests
hereunder. 
 Section 8.09. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. 
 THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING THE SCHEDULES AND EXHIBITS HERETO), THE NOTES, THE LETTERS OF CREDIT AND THE FEE LETTER (COLLECTIVELY, THE “AGREEMENT
DOCUMENTS”) REPRESENT THE ENTIRE CONTRACT AMONG THE PARTIES RELATIVE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF. ANY PREVIOUS AGREEMENT, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, AMONG THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR THEREOF IS
SUPERSEDED BY THE AGREEMENT DOCUMENTS. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR THE FEE LETTERS, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, IS INTENDED TO CONFER UPON ANY PARTY OTHER THAN THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO ANY
RIGHTS, REMEDIES, OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES UNDER OR BY REASON OF THE AGREEMENT DOCUMENTS. 
  

 67 








 Section 8.10. Severability. 
 In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with
valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 
 Section 8.11. Counterparts/Telecopy. 
 This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which
shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 8.03. Delivery of executed counterparts by telecopy shall be effective as an original and
shall constitute a representation that an original shall be delivered. 
 Section 8.12. Headings. 
 Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to
affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 
 Section 8.13. Jurisdiction;
Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. 
 (a) The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any Federal court, to the extent permitted by law, of the United States of America sitting in the borough of Manhattan in New York City or, if such Federal court is not available due to lack of
jurisdiction, any New York State court sitting in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any
judgment, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Federal Court, to the extent permitted by law, or in such New York State court. The Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and each Lender each agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Subject to the
foregoing and to subsection (b) below, nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party thereto may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any other party thereto in the courts of any
jurisdiction. 
 (b) The Borrower and each Lender each hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally
and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or thereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any New York State or Federal court. The Borrower and each Lender each
hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
  


 68 








 (c) THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH LENDER AND EACH LC BANK EACH HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON THIS AGREEMENT, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING,
STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF THE BORROWER. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS, THE LC BANKS AND THE BORROWER ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT. 
 Section 8.14. Confidentiality. 
 (a) Each Lender shall hold in confidence all non-public, confidential or proprietary information, memoranda, or extracts furnished to such Lender (directly or through the Administrative Agent) by the Borrower under this Agreement or in
connection with the negotiation thereof; provided that such Lender may disclose any such information, memoranda or extracts (i) (A) to its directors, officers, employees, agents, auditors, attorneys, consultants and advisors and,
(B) to the extent necessary for the administration of this Agreement, to its Affiliates and the directors, officers and employees of its Affiliates, (ii) to any regulatory or supervisory authority having authority to examine such Lender or
such Lender’s Affiliates, (iii) as required by any legal or governmental process or otherwise by law (with such Lender providing details, to the extent permitted by law, to the Borrower of the information, memoranda or extracts disclosed
pursuant to this clause (iii)), (iv) to any Person to which such Lender sells or proposes to sell an assignment or a participation in its Outstanding Credits hereunder, if such other Person agrees for the benefit of the Borrower to comply with
the provisions of this Section and (v) to the extent that such information, memoranda or extracts shall be publicly available or shall have become known to such Lender independently of any disclosure by the Borrower under this Agreement or in
connection with the negotiation thereof. Any Lender disclosing information, memoranda or extracts pursuant to clause (i) or (iv) of this Section 8.14 will take reasonable steps to ensure that the persons receiving such information,
memoranda or extracts pursuant to such Sections will hold the same in confidence in accordance with this Section 8.14. To the extent possible, any Lender disclosing information, memoranda or extracts pursuant to clause (ii) or
(iii) of this Section 8.14 will take reasonable steps to ensure that the persons receiving such information, memoranda or extracts pursuant to such Sections will hold the same in confidence in accordance with this Section 8.14.

 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may disclose the provisions of this Agreement and the amounts, maturities and interest rates
of its Outstanding Credits to any purchaser or potential purchaser of such Lender’s interest in any Outstanding Credits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each party hereto shall not be limited from disclosing the US
tax treatment or US tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA
Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and
address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. 
  


 69 








 Section 8.15. EDFI Transactions. 
 The Lenders confirm and agree that the consummation of the EDFI Transactions subject to the terms and conditions hereof (i) are permitted under this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (ii) do not constitute an Unmatured Default and (iii) do not constitute a Prepayment Event. The Lenders further agree that the Collateral and related guaranties, if applicable, will be released
from the Liens of the Security Documents upon the sale of such Collateral pursuant to the EDFI Put Options or the EDFI Acquisition.

 SCHEDULE II 
 COLLATERAL ASSETS 
 (a) In the case of each generating plant listed below that is a wholly-owned
Subsidiary of the Borrower, substantially all real and personal property and substantially all other assets, rights and interests, including, without limitation, machinery, equipment, inventory, furniture, permits, material contracts and leases,
books and records, prepaid expenses, emission allowances, intellectual property and licenses, used in connection with the following generating plants, and all equity interests in each special purpose entity that owns or holds such property and
assets, in each case owned by the Borrower or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, subject to such exceptions as are agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. In the case of each generating plant listed below that is not a wholly-owned
Subsidiary of the Borrower, the only security requirement shall be a pledge of the equity interests in each special purpose entity that owns or holds such property and assets that is owned by the Borrower or any of its wholly owned Subsidiaries.

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the collateral shall exclude the following: (i) motor vehicles and other assets subject to certificates of
title, (ii) pledges and security interests prohibited or (to the extent) limited by law or contractual provisions (including permitted liens, leases and licenses) or would otherwise result in termination or any forfeiture under any contract, or
would result in adverse tax consequences (other than prohibitions overridden by the UCC), (iii) assets requiring perfection through control agreements (e.g., to the extent required in the relevant jurisdiction for deposit accounts, investment
property, etc.), (iv) equity interests in joint ventures, to the extent a pledge thereof would violate or require the consent of a counterparty under the relevant joint venture arrangements, (v) business interruption insurance proceeds,
and (vi) those properties and assets as to which the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the costs of obtaining such security interest or perfection thereof are excessive in relation to the practical benefit to the Lenders of the
security interest to be afforded thereby. The foregoing described in clauses (i) through (vi) are, collectively, the “Excluded Assets”. 
 In addition, the requirements of the Borrower to provide the collateral described in this Schedule II shall be subject to the following agreed security principles: 
 (a) The security documents should not operate so as to prevent transactions which are permitted under the Credit Agreement or to require additional
consents or authorizations; 
 (b) The security documents will permit disposals of assets where such disposal is permitted under the Credit
Agreement and will include assurances for the Collateral Agent to do all things reasonably requested to release security in respect of the assets the subject of such disposal; and 
 (c) The Administrative Agent will work with the Borrower to minimize the cost to the Borrower and the other Loan Parties granting the security and shall
ensure that in all events the costs are not disproportionate to the benefit to be obtained by the Lenders. 
 (d) In no event shall any Loan
Party be obligated to grant a security interest in, any of such Loan Party’s rights or interests in or under, any license, contract, permit, intellectual 








 
property, instrument, security or franchise to which such Loan Party is a party or any of its rights or interests thereunder to the extent that such a grant
would, under the terms of such license, contract, permit, intellectual property, instrument, security or franchise, result in a breach of the terms of, or constitute a default under, such license, contract, permit, instrument, security or franchise.
