respective Commitments. Each Alternative Currency Loan shall bear interest only at a Euro-Currency Rate. Within the foregoing limits, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section, prepay Loans to the extent permitted by Section 2.11 and reborrow
at any time prior to the Termination Date under this Section. The Commitments shall terminate at the close of business on the Termination Date.

Loans for which offers were requested and (z) may be subject to an aggregate limitation as to the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which offers being made by such quoting Bank may be accepted, 

(C) in the case of a LIBOR Auction, the margin above or below the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate (the
“Competitive Bid Margin”) offered for each such Competitive Bid Loan, expressed as a percentage (specified to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%) to be added to or subtracted from such base rate, 

(D) in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, the rate of interest per annum (specified to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%)

 A Competitive Bid Quote may set forth up to five separate offers by the quoting Bank with
respect to each Interest Period specified in the related Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes. 
 (iii) Any
Competitive Bid Quote shall be disregarded if it: 
 (A) is not substantially in conformity with Exhibit D hereto
or does not specify all of the information required by subsection (d)(ii); 
 (B) contains qualifying,
conditional or similar language; 
 (C) proposes terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the

 (e) Notice to Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall promptly, and in any event not less than 30 minutes before the
relevant Borrower would be required to give notice pursuant to subsection (f), notify such Borrower of the terms (x) of any Competitive Bid Quote submitted by a Bank that is in accordance with subsection (d) and (y) of any Competitive
Bid Quote that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Competitive Bid Quote submitted by such Bank with respect to the same Competitive Bid Quote Request. Any such subsequent Competitive Bid Quote shall be disregarded by the
Administrative 

  
 19 









 
Agent unless such subsequent Competitive Bid Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Competitive Bid Quote. The Administrative Agent’s notice to such Borrower
shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which offers have been received for each Interest Period specified in the related Competitive Bid Quote Request, (B) the respective principal amounts and
Competitive Bid Margins or Competitive Bid Absolute Rates, as the case may be, so offered and (C) if applicable, limitations on the aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which offers in any single Competitive Bid Quote may be
accepted. 
 (f) Acceptance and Notice by Borrower. Not later than (x) 1:30 P.M. (New York City time) on the third
Euro-Dollar Business Day prior to the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction or (y) 10:30 A.M. (New York City time) on the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in either case, such other
time or date as the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Banks not later than the date of the Competitive Bid Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction or Absolute Rate Auction for
which such change is to be effective), such Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance or non-acceptance of the offers so notified to it pursuant to subsection (e). In the case of acceptance, such notice (a “Notice of
Competitive Bid Borrowing”) shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. Such Borrower may accept any Competitive Bid Quote in whole or in part; provided that: 

(i) the aggregate principal amount of each Competitive Bid Borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the
related Competitive Bid Quote Request, 
 (ii) the principal amount of each Competitive Bid Borrowing must be
$25,000,000 or a larger multiple of $5,000,000, 
 (iii) acceptance of offers may only be made on the basis of
ascending Competitive Bid Margins or Competitive Bid Absolute Rates, as the case may be, and 
 (iv) such
Borrower may not accept any offer that is described in subsection (d)(iii) or that otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement. 
 (g) Allocation by Administrative Agent. If offers are made by two or more Banks with the same Competitive Bid Margins or Competitive Bid Absolute Rates, as the case may be, for a greater aggregate
principal amount than the amount in respect of which such offers are accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans in respect of which such offers are


  
 20 









 
accepted shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such Banks as nearly as possible (in multiples of $1,000,000, as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate) in proportion to the
aggregate principal amounts of such offers. Determinations by the Administrative Agent of the amounts of Competitive Bid Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 

Section 2.04 Notice to Banks; Funding of Loans. 
 (a) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s share (if any) of such Borrowing and such Notice of
Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by the relevant Borrower. 
 (b) Each Bank participating therein shall make
available its share of such Borrowing: 
 (i) if such Borrowing is to be made in Dollars, not later than 12:00
Noon (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the Administrative Agent at its office specified in or pursuant to Section 9.01; or 

(ii) if such Borrowing is to be made in an Alternative Currency, in such Alternative Currency (in such funds as may then
be customary for the settlement of international transactions in such Alternative Currency) to the account of the Administrative Agent at such time and place as shall have been notified by the Administrative Agent to the Company and the Banks.

 Unless the Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article 3 has not been satisfied, the
Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Banks available to the relevant Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address. 
 (c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank (x) not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of a Borrowing, in the case of Base Rate Loans and
(y) at least one Domestic Business Day prior to the date of a Borrowing, in the case of any other Loans, that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may
assume that such Bank has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.04 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the relevant Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such share available to the Administrative Agent, such Bank 

  
 21 









 
and the relevant Borrower 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 such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate (if such Borrowing is in Dollars) or the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate (if such Borrowing is in an Alternative
Currency). If such Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. 

Section 2.05 Registry; Notes. (a) The Administrative Agent shall maintain a register (the “Register”)
on which it will record the Commitment of each Bank, each Loan made by such Bank and each repayment of any Loan made by such Bank. Any such recordation by the Administrative Agent on the Register shall be prima facie evidence of the facts so
recorded. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the obligations of either Borrower hereunder. 
 (a) Each Borrower hereby agrees that, promptly upon the request of any Bank at any time, the relevant Borrower shall deliver to such Bank a duly executed Note, in substantially the form of Exhibit A
hereto, payable to the order of such Bank and representing the obligation of such Borrower to pay the unpaid principal amount of the Loans made to such Borrower by such Bank, with interest as provided herein on the unpaid principal amount from time
to time outstanding. 
 (b) Each Bank shall record the date, currency, amount and maturity of each Loan made by it and the date
and amount of each payment of principal made by the relevant Borrower with respect thereto, and each Bank receiving a Note pursuant to this Section, if such Bank so elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of its Note, may endorse on
the schedule forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each such Loan then outstanding; provided that the failure of such Bank to make any such recordation or endorsement or any error
in such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the relevant Borrower hereunder or under the Notes. Such Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Borrower so to endorse its Note and to attach to and make a part of its
Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required. 
 Section 2.06 Maturity of Loans. (a) The
Committed Loans shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon, on the Termination Date.

the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing. 

  
 22 









 Section 2.07 Interest Rates. (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on
the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans for such day plus the Base Rate for such day. Such interest shall be
payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Date and, with respect to the principal amount of any Base Rate Loan converted to a Euro-Dollar Loan, on each date a Base Rate Loan is so converted. Any overdue principal of or interest on any Base Rate
Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 1% plus the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day. Any overdue facility fees payable pursuant to Section 2.08 shall
bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 1% plus the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day. 
 (b) Each Euro-Currency Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day during each Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the
Applicable Margin for Euro-Currency Loans as applicable to such Euro-Currency Loan for such day plus the London Interbank Offered Rate applicable to such Interest Period. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day
thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three months after the first day thereof. 

The “Applicable Margin” means (i) for a Euro-Currency Loan, a rate per annum determined in accordance with the
Pricing Schedule and (ii) for a Base Rate Loan, the Applicable Margin for Euro-Currency Loans less 1% per annum, but not less than 0%. 
 The “London Interbank Offered Rate” applicable to any Euro-Currency Loan for any Interest Period means the rate appearing on the Screen at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, in
the case of Euro—Currency Loans denominated in a currency other than Sterling, two Euro-Currency Business Days before or, in the case of Euro—Currency Loans denominated in Sterling, on the date of, the first day of such Interest Period as
the rate for deposits in Dollars or the relevant Alternative Currency with a maturity comparable to such Interest Period. If no rate appears on the Screen for the necessary currency and period, then the “London Interbank Offered
Rate” with respect to such Euro-Currency Loan for such Interest Period shall be the rate at which deposits of that amount and currency with a maturity comparable to such Interest Period are offered by the principal London office of the
Administrative Agent in immediately available funds in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, two Euro-Currency Business Days before the first day of such Interest Period. 

  
 23 









 The “Screen” means (i) with respect to Dollar-Denominated Loans,
Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page and (ii) with respect to Alternative Currency Loans, the appropriate Reuters Screen page selected by the Administrative Agent that displays rates for inter-bank deposits in the appropriate Alternative Currency. The
Administrative Agent may nominate an alternative source of screen rates if these pages are replaced by others which display rates for inter-bank deposits offered by leading banks in London. 

(c) Any overdue principal of or interest on any Euro-Currency Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and
including the date payment thereof was due to but excluding the date of actual payment, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 1% plus the higher of (i) the Applicable Margin for Euro-Currency Loans for such day plus the quotient obtained
(rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) by dividing (x) the average (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/16 of 1%) of the respective rates per annum at which one day (or, if such amount due remains unpaid
more than three Euro-Currency Business Days, then for such other period of time not longer than six months as the Administrative Agent may select) deposits in Dollars in an amount approximately equal to such overdue payment due to each of the
Reference Banks are offered to such Reference Bank in the London interbank market for the applicable period determined as provided above by (y) 1.00 minus the Euro-Currency Reserve Percentage (or, if the circumstances described in clause
(a) or (b) of Section 8.01 shall exist, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day) and (ii) the sum of the Applicable Margin for Euro-Currency Loans for such day plus the London Interbank Offered Rate applicable to such
Loan at the date such payment was due. 
 (d) Subject to Section 8.01, each Competitive Bid LIBOR Loan shall bear interest
on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the London Interbank Offered Rate for such Interest Period (determined in accordance with Section 2.07(b) as if the
related Competitive Bid LIBOR Borrowing were a Committed Euro-Currency Borrowing) plus the Competitive Bid Margin quoted by the Bank making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.03. Each Competitive Bid Absolute Rate Loan shall bear interest
on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the Competitive Bid Absolute Rate quoted by the Bank making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.03. Such interest shall be
payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three months after the first day thereof. Any overdue principal of or interest on any Competitive Bid Loan shall bear
interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 1% plus the Base Rate for such day. 

  
 24 









 (e) The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans
hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the relevant Borrower and the participating Banks of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 

(f) Each Reference Bank agrees to use its best efforts to furnish quotations to the Administrative Agent as contemplated by this Section.
If any Reference Bank does not furnish a timely quotation, the Administrative Agent shall determine the relevant interest rate on the basis of the quotation or quotations furnished by the remaining Reference Bank or Banks or, if none of such
quotations is available on a timely basis, the provisions of Section 8.01 shall apply. 
 Section 2.08 Facility
Fee. The Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks ratably a facility fee in Dollars at the Facility Fee Rate. Such facility fee shall accrue from and including the
Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date (or earlier date of termination of the Commitments in their entirety), on the amount of the Commitments; provided that if any Loans remain outstanding after such Termination Date (or such
earlier date of termination), such facility fee shall be payable on the aggregate principal thereof for the period after the Termination Date (or such earlier date of termination) until such Loans are paid in full. Accrued fees under this Section
shall be payable quarterly on each Quarterly Date. 
 “Facility Fee Rate” means a rate per annum determined in
accordance with the Pricing Schedule. 
 Section 2.09 Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Company
may (i) terminate the Commitments at any time, if no Loans are outstanding at such time or (ii) upon at least three Domestic Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, ratably reduce from time to time by an aggregate amount of
$50,000,000 or any larger multiple thereof, the aggregate amount of the Commitments in excess of the aggregate outstanding principal Dollar Amount of the Loans. 
 Section 2.10 Method of Electing Interest Rates. (a) The Dollar-Denominated Loans included in each Committed Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified by the
relevant Borrower in the applicable Notice of Committed Borrowing. Thereafter, such Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Group of Dollar-Denominated Loans (subject in each case to the
provisions of Article 8), as follows: 
 (i) if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert
such Loans to Euro-Dollar Loans as of any Euro-Dollar Business Day; and 

  
 25 









 (ii) if such Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert
such Loans to Base Rate Loans or elect to continue such Loans as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, in each case effective on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Loans. 

Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a “Notice of Interest Rate Election”) to the Administrative
Agent at least three Euro-Dollar Business Days before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective. A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of
the relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Group and (ii) the portion to which such Notice applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each
$25,000,000 or any larger multiple of $5,000,000. 
 (b) Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify: 

(i) the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies; 

(ii) the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with
the applicable clause of subsection (a) above; 
 (iii) if the Loans comprising such Group are to be
converted, the new type of Loans and, if such new Loans are Fixed Rate Loans, the duration of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto; and 
 (iv) if such Loans are to be continued as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest Period. 

Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest
Period. 
 (c) Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the relevant Borrower pursuant to subsection
(a) above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by such Borrower. If such Borrower fails to deliver a timely Notice of Interest Rate Election to the
Administrative Agent for any Group of Fixed Rate Loans, such Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto. 

  
 26 









 (d) The initial Interest Period for each Borrowing of Alternative Currency Loans shall be
specified by the relevant Borrower in the applicable Notice of Committed Borrowing. The Borrower may specify the duration of each subsequent Interest Period applicable to such Group of Loans by delivering to the Administrative Agent at its London
Office not later than 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the third Euro-Currency Business Day before the end of the immediately preceding Interest Period, a notice specifying the Group of Loans to which such notice applies and the duration of such
subsequent Interest Period (which shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period). Such notice may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans; provided
that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Group and (ii) the Dollar Amounts of the portion to which such notice applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each at least $25,000,000
(or any larger multiple of $5,000,000). If no such notice is timely received by the Administrative Agent before the end of any applicable Interest Period, the relevant Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that the subsequent Interest Period for
such Group of Loans shall have a duration of one month (subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period). 

Section 2.11 Optional Prepayments. (a) Any Borrower may, upon at least one Domestic Business Day’s notice to the
Administrative Agent, prepay, without premium, any Group of Base Rate Loans (or any Competitive Bid Borrowing bearing interest at the Base Rate pursuant to Section 8.01), in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating
$25,000,000 or any larger multiple of $5,000,000, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the
several Banks included in such Group or Borrowing. 
 (b) Subject to Section 2.13, any Borrower may (i) upon at least
three Euro-Dollar Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, in the case of a Group of Euro-Dollar Loans and (ii) upon at least three Euro-Currency Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, in the case of a Group of
Alternative Currency Loans, prepay, without premium, the Loans comprising such a Group, in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in Dollar Amounts aggregating $25,000,000 or any larger multiple of $5,000,000 by paying the principal amount
to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Banks included in such Group. 

  
 27 









 (c) Except as provided in subsection (a) above and in Section 8.06 (b) a
Borrower may not prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of any Competitive Bid Loan prior to the maturity thereof. 

(d) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the
contents thereof and of such Bank’s ratable share (if any) of such prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the relevant Borrower. 
 Section 2.12 General Provisions as to Payments. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Dollar-Denominated Loans and of fees hereunder, not later
than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date when due, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.01. Each
Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Alternative Currency Loans in the relevant Alternative Currency in such funds as may then be customary for the settlement of international transactions in such Alternative
Currency, to such account and at such time and at such place as shall have been notified by the Administrative Agent to the Company and the Banks. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank its ratable share of each such payment
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be
extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Currency Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Currency Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to
the next succeeding Euro-Currency Business Day unless such Euro-Currency Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Currency Business Day. Whenever any payment of
principal of, or interest on, the Competitive Bid Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day. If the date for any payment of
principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time. 
 (b) Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower
has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and
to the extent that a Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank 

  
 28 









 
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at (i) the Federal
Funds Rate (if such amount was distributed in Dollars) or (ii) the rate per annum at which one-day deposits in the relevant currency are offered to the Administrative Agent in the London interbank market for such day (if such amount was
distributed in an Alternative Currency). 
 Section 2.13 Funding Losses. If a Borrower makes any payment of
principal with respect to any Fixed Rate Loan or any Fixed Rate Loan is converted to a Base Rate Loan (pursuant to Article 2, 6 or 8 or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or the last day of an
applicable period fixed pursuant to Section 2.07(c), or if a Borrower fails to borrow or prepay any Fixed Rate Loans after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.04(a) or 2.11(d), such Borrower shall reimburse each
Bank within 30 days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing or prospective Participant in the related Loan), including (without limitation) any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits
from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or conversion or failure to borrow or prepay, provided that such Bank shall have delivered to the relevant Borrower a certificate as to the amount of such
loss or expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 
 Section 2.14 Computation of
Interest and Fees. Interest based on the Prime Rate hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
All other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day); provided that if the Administrative Agent reasonably
determines that a different basis of computation is the market convention for a particular Alternative Currency, such different basis shall be used. 
 Section 2.15 Regulation D Compensation. If and so long as a reserve requirement of the type described in the definition of “Euro-Currency Reserve Percentage” is prescribed by
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), each Bank subject to such requirement may require the Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Bank’s Euro-Currency Loans,
additional interest on such Euro-Currency Loan (but without duplication of any Euro-Currency Reserve Percentage taken into account in the determination of the interest rate under Section 2.07(c)) at a rate per annum determined by such Bank up
to but not exceeding the excess of (i) (A) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate divided by (B) one minus the Euro-Currency Reserve Percentage over (ii) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate. Any Bank wishing to
require payment of such additional interest 

  
 29 









 
(x) shall so notify the Company and the Administrative Agent, in which case such additional interest on the Euro-Currency Loans of such Bank shall be payable to such Bank at the place indicated
in such notice with respect to each Interest Period commencing at least three Euro-Currency Business Days after the giving of such notice, and (y) shall notify the Company at least five Euro-Currency Business Days prior to each date on which
interest is payable on the Euro-Currency Loans of the amount then due it under this Section. 
 “Euro-Currency Reserve
Percentage” means for any day that percentage (expressed as a decimal) which is in effect on such day, as prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for determining the maximum reserve requirement
for a member bank of the Federal Reserve System in New York City with deposits exceeding five billion Dollars in respect of “Eurocurrency liabilities” (or in respect of any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by
reference to which the interest rate on Euro-Currency Loans is determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of any Bank to United States residents). 

Section 2.16 Determining Dollar Amounts of Alternative Currency Loans; Related Mandatory Prepayments. (a) The
Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Amount of each Alternative Currency Loan promptly after it receives the related Notice of Committed Borrowing based on the Spot Rate on the third Euro-Currency Business Day before the date of Borrowing
specified in such notice. Thereafter, the Administrative Agent shall redetermine the Dollar Amount of each Alternative Currency Loan on the third Euro-Currency Business Day before the first day of each Interest Period (after the first Interest
Period) applicable thereto and, if any Interest Period applicable thereto exceeds three months, the days falling at three-month intervals after the first day thereof, based in each case on the Spot Rate on such Euro-Currency Business Day. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Banks of each Dollar Amount so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 

(b) If, after giving effect to any redetermination of a Dollar Amount pursuant to Section 2.16(a), the aggregate Dollar Amount of
all outstanding Loans exceeds the aggregate amount of the Commitments, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Banks that the relevant Borrower is required to cause one or more Loans to be prepaid pursuant to this subsection.
Within five Euro-Currency Business Days after receiving such notice, the relevant Borrower shall prepay Loans (in accordance with the procedure for prepaying Loans set forth in Section 2.11, but not subject to the minimum prepayment amounts
specified therein) to the extent required to eliminate any such excess. 

  
 30 









 Section 2.17 Additional Reserve Costs. (a) If and so long as any Bank is
required to make special deposits with the Bank of England, to maintain reserve asset ratios or to pay fees, in each case in respect of such Bank’s Euro-Currency Loans in any Alternative Currency, such Bank may require the relevant Borrower to
pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Loans, additional interest on such Loan at a rate per annum equal to the Mandatory Costs Rate calculated in accordance with the formula and in the manner set forth in Exhibit H
hereto. 
 (b) If and so long as any Bank is required to comply with reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or other
requirements of any monetary or other authority (including any such requirement imposed by the European Central Bank or the European System of Central Banks, but excluding requirements reflected in an applicable Euro-Currency Reserve Percentage or
Mandatory Costs Rate) in respect of any of such Bank’s Euro-Currency Loans in any Alternative Currency, such Bank may require the relevant Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Bank’s
Euro-Currency Loans subject to such requirements, additional interest on such Loan at a rate per annum specified by such Bank to be the cost to such Bank of complying with such requirements in relation to such Loan. 

(c) Any additional interest owed pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) above shall be determined by the relevant Bank, which
determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and notified to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least five Euro-Currency Business Days before each date on which interest is payable for the relevant Loan,
and such additional interest so notified to the Company by such Bank shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank on each date on which interest is payable for such Loan. 

Section 2.18 Change of Control. If a Change of Control shall occur the Administrative Agent shall (i) if requested by
Banks having more than 50% in aggregate amount of the Commitments, by notice to the Company terminate the Commitments and they shall thereupon terminate, and (ii) if requested by Banks holding more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the
Loans, by notice to the Company declare the Loans (together with accrued interest thereon) to be, and the Loans shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable. 
 A “Change of Control” shall occur if any person or group of persons (within the meaning of Section 13 or 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) shall have acquired
beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under said Act) of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company; or, during any period of 12 consecutive calendar
months, individuals who constitute the Board of Directors of the Company on the first day of such period (the 

  
 31 









 
“Incumbent Board of the Company”) shall cease to constitute a majority thereof; provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the date of this Agreement whose
election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least three-fourths of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board of the Company (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement
of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without objection to such nomination) shall be, for the purpose of this clause, considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board of the Company.

Section 7.03 Action by Administrative Agent. The obligations of the Administrative Agent hereunder are only those expressly
set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action with respect to any Default, except as expressly provided in Article 6.

 43 









 
Borrowers) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ gross

 ARTICLE 8 
 CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES 
 Section 8.01 Inability to Determine Interest
Rate. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Euro-Currency Loan or Competitive Bid LIBOR Loan, the Administrative Agent is advised by the Reference Banks that deposits in the relevant currency (in the applicable amounts)
are not being offered to the Reference Banks in the relevant market for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Company and the Banks, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company
that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Banks to make Euro-Currency Loans or to convert outstanding Loans into Euro-Currency Loans shall be suspended and (ii) each outstanding
Euro-Currency Loan in the relevant currency shall be prepaid (or, in the case of a Euro-Dollar Loan, converted into a Base Rate Loan) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto. Unless the relevant Borrower notifies the
Administrative Agent at least one Domestic Business Day before the date of any Borrowing of a Fixed Rate Loan for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, (i) if such Borrowing of a Fixed
Rate Loan is a Committed Borrowing, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Borrowing of a Base Rate Loan in an equal Dollar Amount and (ii) if such Borrowing of a Fixed Rate Loan is a Competitive Bid LIBOR Borrowing, the Competitive Bid
LIBOR Loans comprising such Borrowing shall bear interest for each day from and including the first day to but excluding the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto at the Base Rate for such day. 

Section 8.02 Illegality. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation,
or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by any Bank (or its Euro-Currency Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank (or its
Euro-Currency Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Currency Loans and such Bank shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Company, whereupon until
such Bank notifies the Company and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank to make Euro-Currency Loans, or to convert outstanding Loans into Euro-Currency Loans,
shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section, such Bank shall designate a different Euro-Currency Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the
reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise financially disadvantageous to such Bank. If such notice is given, each 

  
 45 









 
Euro-Currency Loan of such Bank then outstanding shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan (in the case of an Alternative Currency Loan, in a principal amount determined on the basis of the Spot
Rate on the date of conversion) either (a) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Euro-Currency Loan if such Bank may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan to such day or (b) immediately if such
Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan to such day. 
 Section 8.03
Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If on or after (x) the date hereof, in the case of any Committed Loan or any obligation to make Committed Loans or (y) the date of the related Competitive Bid Quote, in the case of any
Competitive Bid Loan, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect to any Euro-Currency Loan any such
requirement for which such Bank is entitled to compensation under Section 2.15 for the relevant Interest Period), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar charge or requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the United States market for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other condition affecting
its Fixed Rate Loans, its Note or its obligation to make Fixed Rate Loans and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Fixed Rate Loan, or to reduce the
amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then, within 30 days after demand by such Bank
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Company shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank on an after tax basis for such increased cost or reduction. 

(b) If any Bank shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding
capital adequacy, or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or 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 or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank
(or its 

  
 46 









 
Parent) as a consequence of such Bank’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive
(taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 30 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Company shall
pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its Parent) on an after tax basis for such reduction. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 8.03(a) and (b), (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all
requests, rules, guidelines, requirements or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International
Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall, in each case, be deemed to be a change in law after
the date hereof, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented. 
 (c) Each Bank will promptly notify the
Company and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable 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 Bank, be otherwise financially disadvantageous to such Bank. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this
Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 8.03 hereof, the Company shall not be obligated to compensate any Bank for
any amount arising or accruing prior to the date such Bank notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that it proposes to claim compensation; provided, however, the Company shall be obligated to provide compensation for the
30-day period prior to notification and for any prior period during which the Bank was not able to provide such notification due to the retroactive application of the statute, regulation or other basis for the claim. 

Section 8.04 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on behalf of each Borrower to or for the account of any Bank or the
Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, 

  
 47 









 
deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Bank and the Administrative Agent, (i) taxes imposed on its income, and
franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Bank, taxes imposed on its income, and
franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Bank’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof, (ii) any taxes imposed by reason of a failure to comply with Section 8.04(d), (iii) any
taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA, or (iv) any United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to or on behalf of a Bank at the time such Bank becomes a party hereto or changes its Applicable Lending Office except to the extent such
Bank (or its assignor) was entitled at the time of the change of its Applicable Lending Office (or at the time of assignment) to additional amounts pursuant to this Section 8.04 (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Bank or the
Administrative Agent, (a) the sum payable by the applicable Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.04) such
Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) such Borrower (if required by applicable law) shall make such deductions, (c) such
Borrower (if required by applicable law) shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (d) such Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address
referred to in Section 9.01 the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment of any amounts withheld or deducted. 
 (b) In addition, the Company agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder
or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 
 (c) The Company agrees to indemnify each Bank and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any
jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 8.04 paid by such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This
indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor. 

  
 48 









 (d) Each Bank that is a “United States Person” as defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form
W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Bank is exempt from U.S. federal withholding tax. Each Bank that is not a “United States Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Bank”) shall
deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (i) two copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY (together with any applicable underlying IRS forms), (ii) in the case of a
Non-U.S. Bank claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit I and the applicable IRS
Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Bank claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on payments hereunder, or
(iii) any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may
be prescribed by applicable requirements of law to permit the Company and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Bank on or before the date it becomes a
party to this Agreement and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Non-U.S. Bank shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form
previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Bank. Each Non-U.S. Bank shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Company
or the Administrative Agent (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, a Non-U.S. Bank shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this
section that such Non-U.S. Bank is not legally able to deliver. 
 If a payment made to a Bank hereunder would be subject to U.S. federal
withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Bank shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or
times reasonably requested by the Company and the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company and the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the
Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Bank has or has not complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.


  
 49 









 (e) To the extent not indemnified by the Borrower, each Bank shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent for the full amount of any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings or similar charges imposed by any governmental authority that are attributable to such Bank and that are payable or paid by the
Administrative Agent, together with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith. 

(f) If any Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Bank pursuant to this Section 8.04, then such
Bank will change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, is not otherwise financially
disadvantageous to such Bank. 
 Section 8.05 Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Fixed Rate Loans. If
(i) the obligation of any Bank to make or maintain Euro-Currency Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.05 with respect to its Euro-Currency Loans in
any currency and the relevant Borrower shall, by at least five Euro-Currency Business Days’ prior notice to such Bank through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section apply to such Bank, then, unless and until
such Bank notifies the relevant Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist: 
 (a) all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank as (or continued as or converted into) Euro-Currency Loans in such currency shall instead be Base Rate Loans (in the case of Alternative Currency
Loans, in the same Dollar Amount as the Euro-Currency Loan that such Bank would otherwise have made in the Alternative Currency) on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Fixed Rate Loans of the other
Banks), and 
 (b) after each of its Euro-Currency Loans has been repaid (or converted to a Base Rate Loan), all payments of
principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Fixed Rate Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead. 
 If such Bank notifies the relevant Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer apply, the principal amount of each such Base Rate Loan shall be converted into a Euro-Dollar Loan
on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable to the related Euro-Currency Loans of the other Banks. If such Loan is converted into an Alternative Currency Loan, such Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make
such arrangements as shall be required (including increasing or decreasing the amount of such Alternative Currency Loan) so that such Alternative Currency Loan shall be in the same amount as it would have been if the provisions of this Section had
never applied thereto. 

  
 50 









 Section 8.06 Addition, Termination or Substitution of Banks. (a) The
Borrowers may at any time increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments under this Agreement by (i) adding additional banks as parties to this Agreement with Commitments as may be mutually agreed between the Borrowers and each such
additional bank or banks, (ii) agreeing with any Bank to increase its Commitment hereunder to an amount mutually agreed between the Company and such Bank or (iii) a combination of the procedures described in clauses (i) and (ii),
provided that the aggregate amount of all such increases during the term of this Agreement shall not exceed $500,000,000. Any such increase shall become effective upon (x) execution and delivery by the Borrowers, the Bank involved and
the Administrative Agent of an appropriate instrument evidencing the addition of such bank as a Bank and/or the increase in the Commitment of such Bank and (y) receipt by the Administrative Agent of such evidence as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably request relating to the corporate authority for and validity of such instrument. 
 (b) The Borrower may at any time,
if any Bank (i) has demanded compensation for increased costs pursuant to Section 8.03 or 8.04, (ii) has determined that the making or continuation of any Euro-Currency Loan has become unlawful or impossible pursuant to
Section 8.02 and similar additional interest or compensation has not been demanded by, or a similar determination has not been made by, all of the Banks or (iii) has become a Defaulting Bank, at the Borrower’s election
(A) terminate the Commitment of such Bank and, in connection therewith, prepay the outstanding Loans of such Bank in full, together with accrued interest thereon and any other amounts payable hereunder for the account of such Bank or
(B) designate an Assignee to purchase for cash, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in the form of Exhibit G, the outstanding Loans and Commitment of such Bank and to assume all of such Bank’s other rights and obligations
hereunder without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Bank, for a purchase price equal to the principal amount of all of such Bank’s outstanding Loans plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and the accrued but unpaid facility
fees in respect of that Bank’s Commitment hereunder plus such amount, if any, as would be payable pursuant to Section 2.13 if the outstanding Loans of such Bank were prepaid in their entirety on the date of consummation of such assignment.
In conjunction with the consummation of such an assignment, the Borrower shall pay to such Bank any other amounts payable hereunder for the account of such Bank. 

  
 51 









 Section 8.07 Defaulting Banks. If any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then the
following provisions shall apply for so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank: 
 (a) the facility fee shall
cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 2.08; 

(b) the Commitment and Loans of such Defaulting Bank shall not be included in determining whether all Banks or the
Required Banks have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.05), provided that (i) any amendment or waiver requiring the consent of all Banks or each affected
Bank which affects such Defaulting Bank differently than other affected Banks shall require the consent of such Defaulting Bank, (ii) the Commitment of such Defaulting Bank may not be increased or extended, the principal of or the rate of
interest for Loans (other than the rates of interest for overdue principal or interest provided for in Section 9.05, Section 2.07(c) or in the last sentence of Section 2.07(d)) of such Defaulting Bank or fees or other amounts payable
hereunder or under any other Financing Document to such Defaulting Bank may not be reduced without the consent of such Defaulting Bank, and (iii) any amendment of, or consent or waiver with respect to, this Section 8.07 shall require the
consent of the Required Banks and each Defaulting Bank; and 
 (c) any amount payable to such Defaulting Bank
hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 9.04 but excluding Section 8.06(b)) shall, in lieu of being distributed
to such Defaulting Bank, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent in the following order of
priority: (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Agent hereunder; (ii) second, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its
portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; (iii) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations
of the Defaulting Bank in respect of any Loans under this Agreement; (iv) fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such
Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and (v) fifth, to such Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided, with
respect to this clause (v), that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans which such Defaulting Bank has funded and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 are satisfied, such
payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Committed Loans of all non-Defaulting Banks pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of the Loans of such Defaulting Bank. 

  
 52 









 In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Company each agrees that
a Defaulting Bank has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Bank to be a Defaulting Bank, then on such date such Bank shall purchase at par such of the Committed Loans of the other Banks as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be
necessary in order for such Bank to hold Committed Loans in proportion to its Commitment.

privilege hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies
herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. 

  
 53 









 Section 9.03 Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Borrowers shall be jointly
and severally obligated to pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, including reasonable fees and disbursements of special counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the preparation and
administration of this Agreement, any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and
each Bank, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (which may include, without duplication of costs of outside counsel, the allocated costs of staff counsel), in connection with such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy,
insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom. 
 (b) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to indemnify
each Agent and Bank, their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing (each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities,
losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding
(whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) brought or threatened relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans hereunder; provided that no Indemnitee shall have the
right to be indemnified hereunder for such Indemnitee’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 Section 9.04
Sharing. Each Bank agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Loan held by it which is
greater than the proportion received by any other Bank in respect of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Loan held by such other Bank, the Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such
participations in the Loan held by the other Banks, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Loan held by the Banks shall be shared by the Banks pro rata;
provided that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Bank to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of a Borrower other than its
indebtedness under this Agreement. 

  
 54 









 Section 9.05 Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or the
Notes may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrowers and the Required Banks (and, if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent are affected thereby, by the Administrative
Agent); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by each affected Bank, (i) increase or decrease the Commitment of any Bank (except for a ratable decrease in the Commitments of all Banks) or subject any Bank to any
additional obligation, (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder, (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder or for termination of
any Commitment, (iv) change the definition of Required Banks, (v) change the provisions of this Section 9.05 or (vi) change the provisions of Section 9.12; and provided further that, no such amendment or waiver shall,
unless signed by all Banks, change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section or any other provision of this
Agreement. 
 Section 9.06 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all Banks.

 (b) Any Bank may at any time grant to one or more banks or other institutions (each a “Participant”)
participating interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans. In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent, such Bank shall
remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder including, without
limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this
Agreement described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 9.05 without the consent of the Participant. Subject to subsection (e) below, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its
participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Article 8 with respect to its participating interest. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) or (d) below shall be given effect for purposes of this
Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b). Each Bank that sells a participation shall, 

  
 55 









 
acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it records the name and address of each participant and the commitments and loans of each
participant’s interest or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any person except to
the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. 
 (c) Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more banks or other institutions (each an “Assignee”) all, or a proportionate part of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
and its Note (if any), and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit G hereto executed by such Assignee and such transferor Bank, with, and subject
to the subscribed consent of the Administrative Agent and (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the Company, which in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that in the event of such an assignment to
an existing Bank, an Affiliate of such Bank or an Approved Fund, the consent of the Company shall not be required; provided further that such assignment may, but need not, include rights of the transferor Bank in respect of outstanding
Competitive Bid Loans; and provided further that such assignment shall be in an aggregate principal Dollar Amount of at least $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as constitutes the entirety of such assigning Bank’s Loans under this
Agreement) unless the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers otherwise consent. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument, payment by such Assignee to such transferor Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor
Bank and such Assignee and notice of the foregoing to the Administrative Agent, such Assignee shall be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank with a Commitment as set forth in such instrument of
assumption, and the transferor Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c),
the transferor Bank, the Administrative Agent, and the relevant Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, a new Note is issued to the Assignee. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Bank shall pay to the
Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500. If the Assignee is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, it shall deliver to the Company and the
Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 8.04. 

  
 56 









 (d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower,
shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Assignees, and the commitments of, and principal amounts of the loans owing to, each Assignee
pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (“Assignment Register”). The entries in the Assignment Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Assignment Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Assignment Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Bank at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a
natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (i) a Bank, (ii) an Affiliate of a
Bank or (iii) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Bank. 
 (e) Any Bank may at any time
assign all or any portion of its rights with respect to the Loans outstanding under this Agreement and its Note (if any) to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the transferor Bank from its obligations hereunder. 

(f) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Bank’s rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 8.03 or 8.04 than such Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Company’s prior written consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 8.02, 8.03
or 8.04 requiring such Bank to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances. 
 Section 9.07
Collateral. Each of the Banks represents to the Administrative Agent and each of the other Banks that it in good faith is not relying upon any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or
maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement. 
 Section 9.08 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 
 Section 9.09 Counterparts;
Integration. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. 

  
 57 









 Section 9.10 Judgment Currency. If, under any applicable law and whether
pursuant to a judgment being made or registered against any Borrower or for any other reason, any payment under or in connection with this Agreement, is made or satisfied in a currency (the “Other Currency”) other than that in which
the relevant payment is due (the “Required Currency”) then, to the extent that the payment (when converted into the Required Currency at the rate of exchange on the date of payment or, if it is not practicable for the party entitled
thereto (the “Payee”) to purchase the Required Currency with the other Currency on the date of payment, at the rate of exchange as soon thereafter as it is practicable for it to do so) actually received by the Payee falls short of
the amount due under the terms of this Agreement, such Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by law, as a separate and independent obligation, indemnify and hold harmless the Payee against the amount of such short-fall. For the purpose of this
Section, “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Payee is able on the relevant date to purchase the Required Currency with the Other Currency and shall take into account any premium and other costs of exchange. 

Section 9.11 USA Patriot Act. Each Bank hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act
(Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company, which information includes the name and address of the Company and other information that
will allow such Bank to identify the Company in accordance with said Act. 
 Section 9.12 Joint and Several
Obligations. (a) The obligations of the Borrowers hereunder to perform and discharge the full and punctual payment (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of all principal of and interest on the Loans and all their other
obligations and liabilities to the Administrative Agent or to any Bank under this Agreement (collectively, the “Obligations”) are joint and several. Each Borrower shall be obligated in respect of the aggregate principal amount of
all Loans, regardless of which Borrower may have requested or received the proceeds of any Loans. 
 (b) The Obligations of each
Borrower shall be unconditional and absolute, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected, at any time by: 

(i) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of the other Borrower
under any Financing Document, by operation of law or otherwise; 
 (ii) any modification or amendment of or
supplement to any Financing Document (but such obligation shall remain in effect as so amended); 

  
 58 









 (iii) any release, impairment, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or
indirect security for any obligation of the other Borrower under any Financing Document; 
 (iv) any change in
the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the other Borrower, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the other Borrower or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of
either Borrower contained in any Financing Document; 
 (v) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights
which a Borrower may have at any time against the other Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion
of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim; 
 (vi) any invalidity or unenforceability
relating to or against the other Borrower for any reason of any Financing Document, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the other Borrower of any amount payable by it under any Financing Document;
or 
 (vii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the other Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, any Bank or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. 

(c) The obligations of the Borrowers hereunder in respect of the Obligations shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments
shall have terminated and the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable by the Borrowers under the Financing Documents shall have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any
other amount payable by either Borrower under the Financing Documents is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Borrower or otherwise, the other Borrower’s obligations with
respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had been due but not made at such time. 
 (d)
Each Borrower irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the other Borrower or any other Person.


  
 59 









 (e) Until all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and Banks hereunder and
under the Notes have been paid, each Borrower irrevocably waives any and all rights to which it may be entitled, by operation of law or otherwise, upon making any payment hereunder to be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the other
Borrower with respect to such payment or against any direct or indirect security therefor, or otherwise to be reimbursed, indemnified or exonerated by or for the account of such other Borrower in respect thereof. 

(f) In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by a Borrower under any Financing Document is stayed
upon insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by the other Borrower forthwith on demand by the Required Banks.

 Section 9.13 Survival. The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to Sections 8.02, 8.03, 8.04 and 9.03 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations. 

  
 60

 PRICING SCHEDULE 
 The “Facility Fee Rate” and the “Applicable Margin” for Euro-Currency Loans for any day are the respective percentages set forth below in the applicable row under the
column corresponding to the Status Level that exists on such day: 
  

																					
	 Status Level
	  	Level I	 	 	Level II	 	 	Level III	 	 	Level IV	 	 	Level V

	 Applicable Margin for Euro-Currency Loans
	  	 	1.00	% 	 	 	1.10	% 	 	 	1.20	% 	 	 	1.25	% 	 	 	1.70	% 

 For purposes of this Schedule, the following terms have the following meanings, subject to the final
paragraph below: 
 “Level I Status” exists at any date if, at such date, the Company’s senior unsecured
long-term debt is rated A- or higher by S&P, A3 or higher by Moody’s, and A- or higher by Fitch. 
 “Level II
Status” exists at any date if, at such date, the Company’s senior unsecured long-term debt is rated BBB+ by S&P, Baa1 by Moody’s, and BBB+ by Fitch. 
 “Level III Status” exists at any date if, at such date, the Company’s senior unsecured long-term debt is rated BBB by S&P, Baa2 by Moody’s, and BBB by Fitch. 

“Level IV Status” exists at any date if, at such date, the Company’s senior unsecured long-term debt is rated BBB-
by S&P, Baa3 by Moody’s, and BBB- by Fitch. 
 “Level V Status” exists at any date if, at such date,
no other Status Level exists.

 “Status Level” refers to the determination of which of Level I Status,
Level II Status, Level III Status, Level IV Status or Level V Status exists at any date.

to in the definitions above are split and all three ratings fall in different Status Levels, the Status Level indicated by the middle rating shall be applicable. If the designated ratings are split and two of the ratings fall in the same Status
Level (the “Majority Status Level”) and the third rating is in a different level, the Majority Status Level shall be applicable. If only two of the three ratings agencies issue a rating, the Status Level of such ratings shall apply
if such ratings are in the same level, and the Status Level of the higher rating shall apply if not, provided that if the higher rating is two or more Status Levels above the lower rating, the rating next above the lower of the two shall
apply. If only one of such three agencies issues a rating, the Status Level of such rating shall apply.

 EXHIBIT E 
 OPINION OF 
 COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY 

To the Banks and the Administrative Agent 
 Referred to Below 
 c/o JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent 

270 Park Avenue 
 New York, New York 10017

 Dear Sirs: 
 I am
the Executive Vice President & General Counsel of H.J. Heinz Company (the “Company”). This opinion is being furnished pursuant to Section 3.01(b) of the Five-Year Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”)
dated as of June 30, 2011 among the Company, H.J. Heinz Finance Company (“Heinz Finance”), the banks listed on the signature pages thereof and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. Terms defined in the Credit
Agreement are used herein as therein defined. 
 I or one of the attorneys under my supervision have examined originals or
copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments and have conducted such other investigations of fact and law as I have deemed necessary or
advisable for purposes of this opinion. In this examination, I have relied on statements of fact contained in the documents I have examined, and I have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to
original documents of all documents submitted to me as reproductions or certified copes and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. 
 Based on the foregoing, and with due regard to such legal considerations as I deem relevant, and subject to the qualifications stated below, it is my opinion that: 

1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, and has all corporate powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted. 
 2. Heinz Finance is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has all corporate powers and all material governmental licenses,
authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted. 







 3. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Credit Agreement and the
Notes executed and delivered by it are within the Company’s corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official and do
not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or the articles of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or, to the best of my knowledge, any applicable regulation, judgment, injunction, order, decree, material
agreement or other material instrument binding upon the Company, or result in the creation or imposition of any Mortgage on any material asset of the Company. 
 4. The execution, delivery and performance by Heinz Finance of the Credit Agreement and the Notes executed and delivered by it are within Heinz Finance’s corporate powers, have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate action, require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official and do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or the articles of
incorporation or by-laws of Heinz Finance or, to the best of my knowledge, any applicable regulation, judgment, injunction, order, decree, material agreement or other material instrument binding upon Heinz Finance, or result in the creation or
imposition of any Mortgage on any material asset of the Heinz Finance. 
 5. The Credit Agreement constitutes a valid and
binding agreement of the Company and the Notes (if any) executed and delivered by it constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, in each case enforceable in accordance with their terms except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles. 
 6. The
Credit Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Heinz Finance and the Notes executed and delivered by it constitute valid and binding obligations of Heinz Finance, in each case enforceable in accordance with their terms except as the
same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles. 
 7. To the best of my knowledge, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending or overtly threatened in writing to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is (or would be) a party or to which
any property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is (or would be) subject, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, shareholders’ equity
or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 
 8. In a properly presented case, a
Pennsylvania court would give effect to the provisions of the Credit Agreement providing that the Credit Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

 I am qualified to practice law in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the foregoing opinion
is limited to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the United States of America and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. I have assumed for the purposes of providing my opinions in paragraphs 5 and 6 that the Credit
Agreement and the Notes are governed by the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 
 This opinion is rendered
solely to you in connection with the above matter. This opinion may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose or relied upon by or furnished to any other person without my prior written consent. 

Very truly yours,

 EXHIBIT F 
 OPINION OF 
 DAVIS POLK & WARDWELL LLP, SPECIAL COUNSEL

 FOR THE COMPANY 
 To JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent 
 and each of the Banks
listed on the 
 signature pages of the Credit Agreement 
 referred to below 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 

We have acted as special counsel for H.J. Heinz Company, a Pennsylvanian corporation (the “Company”) and H.J. Heinz
Finance Company, a Delaware corporation (“Heinz Finance”) in connection with the $1,500,000,000 Five-Year Credit Agreement dated as of June 30, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, Heinz Finance,
the banks listed on the signature pages thereof (the “Banks”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”). Terms used (but not defined) herein have the meanings assigned to
them in the Credit Agreement. 
 We have reviewed executed copies of: 

(a) the Credit Agreement; and 
 (b) the Notes issued on the date hereof (the “Notes”). 
 The
documents listed in items (a) through (b) above are sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Credit Documents”. The Company and Heinz Finance are sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Loan Parties”.

 We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents,
corporate records and certificates of public officials and officers of the Loan Parties and have conducted such other investigations of fact and law as we have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion. 

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that: 

1. Heinz Finance is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. 

2. The execution, delivery and performance by Heinz Finance of each Credit Document are within its corporate powers and have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action. Heinz Finance has duly executed and delivered each Credit Document. 







 3. The execution, delivery and performance by Heinz Finance of each Credit Document require
no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official under United States federal or New York State law and do not (i) contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of (a) applicable United
States federal or New York State law or regulation or the Delaware General Corporation Law, in each case that in our experience is normally applicable to general business corporations in relation to transactions of the type contemplated by the
Credit Documents or (b) the certificate of incorporation or by-laws or other constitutive documents of Heinz Finance. 
 4.
Each of the Credit Agreement and the Notes constitutes a valid and binding agreement of each Borrower, in each case, enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with its terms. 

5. Neither of the Loan Parties is required to register as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended. 
 6. The borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the use of proceeds thereof as contemplated by the
Credit Agreement do not violate Regulation U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. 
 7. The choice of
New York law as the governing law of each of the Credit Documents is a valid choice of law. 
 The foregoing opinions are
subject to the following assumptions and qualifications: 
 1. Our opinion in paragraph 4 above is subject to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability. 

2. We express no opinion as to any provision in the Credit Documents that purports to indemnify any Person for its own
gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 3. We express no opinion as to provisions in the Credit Documents that
purport to create rights of set-off in favor of participants or that provide for set-off to be made otherwise than in accordance with applicable laws. 
 4. We express no opinion as to provisions in the Credit Documents that purport to waive objections to venue, claims that a particular jurisdiction is an inconvenient forum or the like. 

  
 2 








 5. We express no opinion as to whether a United States federal court would
have subject-matter or personal jurisdiction over a controversy arising under the Credit Documents. 
 6. We
express no opinion as to the United States federal securities laws or any state securities laws. 
 7. We have
assumed that (i) the Company is validly existing and, to the extent applicable, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (ii) the Company has duly executed and delivered each Credit Document, (iii) the
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of each Credit Document are within its corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and do not contravene the articles or certificate of
incorporation or bylaws or other constitutive documents of the Company and (iv) the execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower of each Credit Document do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any law, rule or regulation
(other than United States federal and New York State laws, rules and regulations and, in the case of Heinz Finance, the Delaware General Corporation Law, in each case that in our experience are normally applicable to general business corporations in
relation to transactions of the type contemplated by the Credit Documents) or any order, injunction, decree, agreement, contract or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound. 

8. We express no opinion on the effectiveness of any service of process made other than in accordance with applicable law.

 9. We express no opinion as to the effect (if any) of any law of any jurisdiction (except the State of New
York) in which any Bank’ is located which may limit the rate of interest that such Bank may charge or collect. 
 10. As to various provisions in the Credit Documents that grant the Administrative Agent or the Banks certain rights to make determinations or take actions in their discretion, we assume that such
discretion will be exercised in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. 
 The foregoing opinion is limited to the
laws of the State of New York, the federal laws of the United States of America and, with respect to paragraph 1 through paragraph 3 above only, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

 This opinion is delivered to you in connection with the above matter. This opinion may not
be relied upon by you for any other purpose or relied upon by any other person without our prior written consent. 
 Very truly yours,

 W I T N E S S E T H

 WHEREAS, this Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”) relates to the Five-Year Credit
Agreement dated as of June 30, 2011 among H.J. Heinz Company, H.J. Heinz Finance Company, the Assignor and the other Banks party thereto, as Banks and the Administrative Agent, (as amended from time to time, the “Credit

 WHEREAS, as provided under the Credit Agreement, the Assignor has a Commitment to make Loans to the

 WHEREAS, Committed Loans made to the Borrowers by the Assignor under the Credit Agreement in the aggregate Dollar Amount of $

 WHEREAS, the Assignor proposes to assign to the Assignee all of the rights of the

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

 Section 1.01. Definitions. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings

 MANDATORY COSTS RATE 
  

	1.	The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Banks for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the
Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank. 


 

	2.	On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the
“Additional Cost Rate”) for each Bank, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as a weighted average of the Banks’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in
proportion to the percentage participation of each Bank in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum. 

  

	3.	The Additional Cost Rate for any Bank lending from a facility office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Bank to the Administrative
Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Bank in its notice to the Administrative Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Bank’s participation in all Loans made from that facility office)
of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that facility office. 

  

	4.	The Additional Cost Rate for any Bank lending from a facility office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as follows:


  

	 	(a)	in relation to a sterling Loan: 

  

			
	
AB + C(B – D) + E x 
0.01
	 	per cent. per annum
	100 – (A + C)	 

  

	 	(b)	in relation to a Loan in any currency other than sterling: 

  

			
	 E x 0.01
	 	per cent. per annum.
	300	 

 Where: 
  

	 	A	is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Bank is from time to time required to maintain as an
interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements. 









	 	B	is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Margin and the Mandatory Cost and, if applicable, the additional rate of interest specified in Section
2.07(c)) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Euro-Currency Loan. 

  

	 	C	is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Bank is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of
England. 

  

	 	D	is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Administrative Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits. 


 

	 	E	is designed to compensate Banks for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Administrative Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of
charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000. 

  

	5.	For the purposes of this Exhibit: 

  

	 	(a)	“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of
England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England; 

  

	 	(b)	“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the Financial Services Authority Fees Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in
force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits; 

  

	 	(c)	“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated
fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and 

  

	 	(d)	“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules. 


 

	6.	In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 per cent. will be included in the formula as 5 and not
as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places. 


  
 2 









	7.	If requested by the Administrative Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the
Administrative Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that
Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank. 


 

	8.	Each Bank shall supply any information required by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without
limitation, each Bank shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank: 

  

	 	(e)	the jurisdiction of its facility office; and 

  

	 	(f)	any other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require for such purpose. 


Each Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this
paragraph. 
  

	9.	The percentages of each Bank for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the
Administrative Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Bank notifies the Administrative Agent to the contrary, each Bank’s obligations in relation to cash ratio
deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a facility office in the same jurisdiction as its facility office. 


 

	10.	The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Bank and
shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Bank or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects. 


  
 3 









	11.	The Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Banks on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for
each Bank based on the information provided by each Bank and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above. 

  

	12.	Any determination by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Exhibit in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a
Bank shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties to this agreement. 

  

	13.	The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Company and the Banks, determine and notify to all Parties any amendments which are required
to be made to this Exhibit in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other
authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties to this agreement.
