 TERM LOAN CREDIT AGREEMENT dated as of March 31, 2014 (this
“Agreement”), among NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Lenders party hereto and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Administrative Agent. 

The Borrower has requested the Lenders (such term and each other capitalized term used and not otherwise defined herein having the meaning
assigned to it in Article I) extend credit in the form of Commitments under which the Borrower may obtain Loans on the Funding Date in an aggregate principal amount not in excess of $575,000,000. 

The Lenders are willing to establish the credit facility referred to in the preceding paragraph and extend credit upon the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth herein. Accordingly, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

ARTICLE I

when used in reference to any Loan or Borrowing, refers to whether such Loan, or the Loans comprising such Borrowing, are bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate. 

“Adjusted LIBO Rate” means, with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum
(rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/100 of 1.00%) equal to (a) the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rate. 

“Administrative Agent” means JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders hereunder, or
any successor thereto appointed in accordance with Article VIII. 
 “Administrative Questionnaire” means an
Administrative Questionnaire in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent.

of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus  1⁄2 of 1.00% and (c) the Adjusted
LIBO Rate on such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) for a deposit in dollars with a maturity of one month plus 1.00%. For purposes of clause (c) above, the Adjusted LIBO Rate on any day shall be
based on the rate per annum appearing on the Reuters “LIBOR01” screen displaying Intercontinental Exchange Benchmark Administration Ltd. Rates (or on any successor or substitute screen provided by Reuters, or any successor to or substitute
for such service, providing rate quotations comparable to those currently provided on such screen, as determined by the Administrative Agent from time to time for purposes of providing quotations of interest rates applicable to dollar deposits in
the London interbank market) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two Business Days prior to such day for deposits in dollars with a maturity of one month. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal
Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, respectively. 

“Anti-Corruption Laws” means the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the United Kingdom
Bribery Act of 2010, as amended. 
 “Arrangers” means J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, BMO Capital Markets, The Bank of
Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., Mizuho Bank, Ltd., RBS Securities Inc. and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, each in its capacity as joint lead arranger
and joint bookrunner for the credit facility provided for herein. 
 “Applicable Percentage” means, with respect to any
Lender, (i) prior to the Funding Date, the percentage of the total Commitments represented by such Lender’s Commitment or (ii) on or after the Funding Date, the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Loans
represented by the outstanding Loans held by such Lender; provided that if any Defaulting Lender exists at such time, the Applicable Percentages shall be calculated disregarding such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment or outstanding Loans,
as applicable. If the Commitments have terminated or expired, the Applicable Percentages shall be determined based upon the Commitments most recently in effect, giving effect to any assignments and to any Lender’s status as a Defaulting Lender
at the time of determination. 

  
 2 








 “Applicable Rate” means, for any day, (a) with respect to any Incremental
Term Loan of any Series, the rate per annum specified in the Incremental Facility Agreement establishing the Incremental Term Commitments of such Series and (b) with respect to any Eurodollar Loan or any ABR Loan that is an Initial Term Loan,
the applicable rate per annum set forth under “LIBOR Margin” or “ABR Margin”, as the case may be, based upon the ratings by Moody’s and S&P applicable on such date to the Index Debt:

	 	 LIBOR Margin

(% per annum)
	 	 ABR Margin

	Category 5

(or unrated)
	 	1.65%	 	0.65%

 For purposes of the foregoing, (i) if either Moody’s or S&P shall not have in effect a rating
for the Index Debt (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this definition), then such rating agency shall be deemed to have established a rating in Category 5; (ii) if the ratings established or deemed to
have been established by Moody’s and S&P for the Index Debt shall fall within different Categories, (a) until and including June 30, 2015, the Applicable Rate shall be based on the lower of the two ratings unless one of the two
ratings is more than one Category lower than the other, in which case the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the Category next above that of the lower of the two ratings and (b) after June 30, 2015, the Applicable Rate
shall be based on the higher of the two ratings unless one of the two ratings is more than one Category lower than the other, in which case the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the Category next below that of the higher of the two
ratings and (iii) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s and S&P for the Index Debt shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of Moody’s or S&P), such change
shall be effective as of the date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency. Each change in the Applicable Rate shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately
preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Rate
shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.

Request in a form agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 

(i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing; 

(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; 

(iii) the Type and Class of the requested Borrowing; 

(iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period
contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and shall end no later than the Maturity Date in respect of such Class of Loans; and 

(v) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the
requirements of Section 2.07. 

  
 21 








 If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing.
If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in
accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. 

SECTION 2.04. [Reserved].  

SECTION 2.05. [Reserved].  

SECTION 2.06. [Reserved].  

SECTION 2.07. Funding of Borrowings. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire
transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the applicable Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans
available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request. 

SECTION 2.08. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request
and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case
of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be
allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and any Loans resulting from an election made with respect to any such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section, no Borrowing may be converted into or continued as a Borrowing with an Interest Period ending after the Maturity Date applicable to such Class of Loans. 

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone or by
telecopy by the time and date that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such
Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and, if telephonic, shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed
by the Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the Borrower shall not be permitted to elect an Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d). 

  
 22 








 (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information
in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different
options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be
specified for each resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election
Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar
Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto
after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and shall end no later than the Maturity Date applicable to such Class of Loans. 

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (e)
If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such
Interest Period, such Eurodollar Borrowing will be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request of the
Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower (such notification to be promptly confirmed in writing), then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing each outstanding Eurodollar Borrowing may only be continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing with an
Interest Period of one month. 
 SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments.  

(a) Unless previously terminated, the Initial Term Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 pm, New York City time, on the earlier of
(i) the Funding Date and (ii) July 15, 2014 (in each case, after giving effect to any incurrence of Loans on either such date). 

(b) The Borrower may at any time prior to the Funding Date terminate, or from time to time permanently reduce, the Initial Term Commitments;
provided that each 

  
 23 








 
reduction of the Initial Term Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000. 

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Initial Term Commitments under
paragraph (b) of this Section at least one Business Day (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent) prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date
thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of
termination of the Initial Term Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Initial Term Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Initial Term Commitments shall be made
ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Initial Term Commitments. 
 SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Loans;
Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the unpaid principal amount of each Initial Term Loan made to the Borrower on the Initial Term
Loan Maturity Date and (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Incremental Lender of a Series the unpaid principal amount of each Incremental Term Loan of such Series made to the Borrower on the applicable Incremental Term
Maturity Date for such Series. 
 (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the
Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and
Type thereof and the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received
by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (d) The entries made in the
accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall, absent manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any
Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

  
 24 








 (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such
event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named
therein (and its registered assigns). 
 SECTION 2.11. Amortization of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall repay outstanding Initial
Term Loans on each date set forth below in an aggregate principal amount equal to the percentage set forth opposite such date of the original aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans made on the Funding Date (as such amounts may be
adjusted pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section):

 The Borrower shall repay Incremental Term Loans as set forth in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement. 

(b) To the extent not previously paid, (i) all Initial Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date and
(ii) all Incremental Term Loans of any Series shall be due and payable on the Incremental Term Maturity Date applicable thereto. 
 (c)
Any prepayment of an Initial Term Borrowing shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments (including the payment due at maturity) of the Initial Term Borrowing to be made pursuant to this Section in the case of voluntary prepayments
pursuant to Section 2.12(a), as directed by the Borrower (or, in the absence of any direction, in direct order of maturity). Any prepayment of an Incremental Term Borrowing of any Series shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled
repayments of Incremental Term Borrowings of such Series to be made pursuant to this Section as shall be specified therefor in the Incremental Facility Agreement applicable to such Series. 

  
 25 








 (d) Prior to (or, in the case of any ABR Loan, at the time of) any repayment of any Borrowing of
any Class under this Section, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of the applicable Class to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery or facsimile) of such selection not later
than (i) 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing or (ii) 10:00 a.m., New York City time on the Business Day of such repayment, in the case of an
ABR Borrowing. Each repayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing. Repayments of Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amounts repaid. If no such Borrowing or Borrowings shall be
selected, such Borrowings shall be selected by the Administrative Agent in a manner to minimize (based on the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent) the payment of any breakage costs pursuant to Section 2.17. 

SECTION 2.12. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing
in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section and payment, when required thereby, of any amounts required under Section 2.17. 

(b) [Reserved] 
 (c) Prior to
any prepayment of Borrowings, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (d) below. In the event of any prepayment of Borrowings
made at a time when Borrowings of more than one Class remain outstanding, the Borrower shall select such Class to be prepaid (unless otherwise agreed by the Incremental Lenders); provided that the amounts so allocable to Incremental Term
Loans of any Series may be applied to other Borrowings as provided in the applicable Incremental Facility Agreement. 
 (d) The Borrower
shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) or by telecopy of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days
before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment
date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof, to be prepaid; provided that, a notice of prepayment of Borrowings pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section may state that such notice is conditioned upon the
occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly
following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the
same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. 

  
 26 








 
Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.14. 

SECTION 2.13. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender (other than a
Defaulting Lender) a ticking fee, which shall accrue at an annual rate of 0.20% per annum on the daily undrawn amount of the Initial Term Commitments of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the
earlier of (i) the date on which such Initial Term Commitments terminate and (ii) the Funding Date. Accrued ticking fees shall be payable in arrears on the earlier of (i) the date on which all the Initial Term Commitments terminate
and (ii) the Funding Date. All ticking fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 (or 366, as the case may be) days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately
agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 (c) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in
immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for its own account or, in the case of ticking fees, for distribution to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 

SECTION 2.14. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate
plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the
Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or
interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate
per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00%
plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section. 
 (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall
be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any
Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period
therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 

  
 27 








 (e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that
interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable
for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.15. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar
Borrowing: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or 
 (b) the
Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in
such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy
as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of
any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing ; provided that if the
circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted. 

SECTION 2.16. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except for any such requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); 

(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank markets any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made
by such Lender; or 
 (iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes on its Loans, loan principal, Commitments, or other
obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and
(C) Connection Income Taxes); 

  
 28 








 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of
making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such
other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could
have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered, but only to the extent that such Lender has generally requested such compensation from similarly situated
borrowers. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company,
as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to
this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section for any
increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation
therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

 SECTION 2.17. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on
the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to
borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.12(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or
(d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period, as the case may be, applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to 

  
 29 








 
Section 2.20, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense (excluding loss of anticipated profit) attributable to such event. In the case
of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan
had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow,
convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it
to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to
receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17 for any loss, cost or expense incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the
event giving rise to such loss, cost or expense and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor. 
 SECTION 2.18.
Taxes. (a) Each payment by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by any law. If any Withholding Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in
good faith, that it is so required to withhold any Taxes, then such Withholding Agent may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are
Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient
receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made. 
 (b) The Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan
Party pursuant to Section 2.18(a) to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the
return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) The Loan Parties
shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes that are paid or payable by such Recipient in connection with any Loan Document (including amounts paid or payable under this Section 2.18(d)) and any reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such 

  
 30 








 
Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.18(d) shall be paid within 10 days after the
Recipient delivers to any Loan Party a certificate stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so paid or payable by such Recipient and describing the basis for the indemnification claim; provided that no Loan Party shall be required to
indemnify any Recipient pursuant to this paragraph for any such Indemnified Taxes (including expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto) paid by the Recipient more than 180 days prior to the date that the Recipient notifies the applicable
Loan Party of such payment by the Recipient of such Indemnified Taxes and of the Recipient’s intention to claim indemnification therefor. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Such
Recipient shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the
Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan
Parties to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly
or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.18(e) shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of
Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. 

(f) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments
under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by either the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup
withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in
Section 2.18(f)(ii)(A) through (E) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice
the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.18(f). If any form or
certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or
inaccuracy) notify the Borrower and the 

  
 31 








 
Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so. 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Lender shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following
is applicable: 
 (A) in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from
U.S. Federal backup withholding tax; 
 (B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to
which the United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of
such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or
“other income” article of such tax treaty; 
 (C) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender for whom payments under this
Agreement constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(D) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of
the Code both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN and (2) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “U.S. Tax Certificate”) to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (d) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected; 

(E) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement (including an
entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes or a participating Lender) (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) of this
paragraph (f)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided, however, that if the Lender is a partnership (and not a participating
Lender) and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Certificate on behalf of such partners; or 

(F) any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption 

  
 32 








 
from, or a reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax
(if any) required by law to be withheld. 
 (iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal
withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the
Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code)
and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s
obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.18(f)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to Sections 1471 through 1474 of
the Code, and any regulations or official interpretations thereof, after the date of this Agreement. 
 (g) If any party determines, in its
sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.18 (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.18), it shall pay to the
indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such
indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the
amount paid to such indemnifying party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.18(g), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.18(g) if such payment would
place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This
Section 2.18(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

SECTION 2.19. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be
made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in
immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion 

  
 33 








 
of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or, in any such case, to such other account as the Administrative Agent shall from time to time specify in a notice delivered to the Borrower, except that payments pursuant to
Sections 2.16 (other than paragraph (b) thereof), 2.17, 2.18 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to
the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of
any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall,
at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment. 

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower to pay fully all amounts of
principal, interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance
with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal
then due to such parties. 
 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the
proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be
shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving
rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by
the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than
to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender
acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and 

  
 34 








 
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon
such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed
to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 (e) If any Lender shall fail
to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.07(b) or paragraph (d) of this Section 2.19, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts
thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 

SECTION 2.20. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or
if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending
office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would
eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.18, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.
The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to
any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, (iii) any Lender has become a Defaulting Lender, (iv) any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or
termination that under Section 9.02 requires the consent of all the Lenders (or all the affected Lenders) and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent or (v) any Lender is a Declining Lender under
Section 2.23, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee 

  
 35 








 
that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) the Borrower shall have received the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other
amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (C) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 2.16 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.18, such assignment will result in a reduction or elimination in such compensation, payments or additional interest and (D) in the case of any such
assignment and delegation resulting from the failure to provide a consent, the assignee shall have given such consent and, as a result of such assignment and delegation and any contemporaneous assignments and delegations and consents, the applicable
amendment, waiver, discharge or termination can be effected. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the
Borrower to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment and delegation required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto. 

SECTION 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a) ticking fees
shall cease to accrue pursuant to Section 2.13(a) on the unused amount of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; and 

(b) the Commitment and outstanding Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required
Lenders or any other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any
amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof.

 SECTION 2.22. Incremental Facilities. (a) The Borrower may on one or more occasions after the Funding Date, by written notice
to the Administrative Agent, request the establishment of Incremental Term Commitments, provided that the aggregate amount of all the Incremental Term Commitments established hereunder shall not exceed $250,000,000 during the term of this
Agreement. Each such notice shall specify (A) the date on which the Borrower proposes that the Incremental Term Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by
the Administrative Agent) after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent, and (B) the amount of the Incremental Term 

  
 36 








 
Commitments being requested (it being agreed that (x) any Lender approached to provide any Incremental Term Commitment may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such
Incremental Term Commitment and (y) any Person that the Borrower proposes to become an Incremental Lender, if such Person is not then a Lender, must be approved by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (such approvals not to be unreasonably
withheld)). 
 (b) The terms and conditions of any Incremental Term Commitments and the Incremental Term Loans to be made thereunder shall
be, except with respect to pricing, upfront, closing or similar fees or original issue discount, amortization and maturity, substantially identical to those of the Commitments in respect of the Initial Term Loans; provided that (i) the
Incremental Term Loans and the Initial Term Loans shall rank pari passu in right of payment, (ii) the weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of
the Initial Term Loans and (iii) no Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date shall be earlier than the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date. Any Incremental Term Commitments established pursuant to an Incremental Facility Agreement that have identical
terms and conditions, and any Incremental Term Loans made thereunder, shall be designated as a separate series (each a “Series”) of Incremental Term Commitments and Incremental Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. 

(c) The Incremental Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Incremental Facility Agreements executed and delivered by the
Borrower, each Incremental Lender providing such Incremental Commitments and the Administrative Agent; provided that, except as set forth in the penultimate sentence of this paragraph (c), no Incremental Commitments shall become effective
unless (i) on the date of effectiveness thereof, both immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments (and assuming that the full amount of such Incremental Commitments shall have been funded as Loans on
such date), the Borrower shall be in compliance with the condition set forth in Section 4.02(b) (and assuming, for such purposes, that a Borrowing is made on such date of effectiveness), (ii) on the date of effectiveness thereof, the
Borrower shall be in compliance with the condition set forth in Section 4.02(a) (and assuming, for such purposes, that a Borrowing is made on such date of effectiveness), (iii) after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments (and
assuming that the full amount of such Incremental Commitments shall have been funded as Loans on such date), and any related transaction, on a pro forma basis, the Borrower shall be in compliance with the covenant set forth in Section 6.01
calculated as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower then most recently ended for which the financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) (or, prior to the delivery of any such financial
statements, the most recent period of four consecutive fiscal quarters included in the financial statements referred to in Section 3.04(a)), (iv) the Borrower shall have paid all fees and expenses required to be made to any arranger or
lender in connection with such Incremental Commitments and the related transactions under this Section and (v) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates,
officer’s certificates and other documents as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction. Each Incremental Facility Agreement may, 

  
 37 








 
without the consent of any Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give
effect to the provisions of this Section. 
 (d) Upon the effectiveness of an Incremental Commitment of any Incremental Lender, such
Incremental Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” (and a Lender in respect of Commitments and Loans of the applicable Class) hereunder, and henceforth shall be entitled to all the rights of, and benefits accruing to, Lenders (or Lenders
in respect of Commitments and Loans of the applicable Class) hereunder and shall be bound by all agreements, acknowledgements and other obligations of Lenders (or Lenders in respect of Commitments and Loans of the applicable Class) hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents. 
 (e) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the applicable Incremental Facility
Agreement, each Lender holding an Incremental Term Commitment of any Series shall make a loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to such Incremental Term Commitment on the date specified in such Incremental Facility Agreement. 

(f) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of any notice from the Borrower
referred to in Section 2.22(a) and of the effectiveness of any Incremental Commitments, in each case advising the Lenders of the details thereof. 

SECTION 2.23. Extension of Maturity Date. (a) From and after the Funding Date, the Borrower may, by delivery of a Maturity Date
Extension Request to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to each of the Lenders of the applicable Class of Loans) not less than 30 days prior to the then existing Maturity Date with respect to any Class of
Loans hereunder (the “Existing Maturity Date”), request that the Lenders of such Class of Loans extend the Existing Maturity Date in accordance with this Section 2.23. Each Maturity Date Extension Request shall (i) specify
the applicable Class of Loans and the date to which the applicable Maturity Date is sought to be extended, (ii) specify the changes, if any, to the Applicable Rate to be applied in determining the interest payable on Loans of, and fees payable
hereunder to, Consenting Lenders in respect of that portion of their Loans extended to such new Maturity Date and the time as of which such changes will become effective (which may be prior to the Existing Maturity Date), and (iii) specify any
other amendments or modifications to this Agreement to be effected in connection with such Maturity Date Extension Request (including in respect of amortization), provided that no such changes or modifications requiring approvals pursuant to
Section 9.02(b) shall become effective prior to the Existing Maturity Date unless such other approvals have been obtained. In the event a Maturity Date Extension Request shall have been delivered by the Borrower, each Lender shall have the
right to agree to the extension of the Existing Maturity Date and other matters contemplated thereby on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (each Lender agreeing to the Maturity Date Extension Request being referred to herein
as a “Consenting Lender” and each Lender not agreeing thereto being referred to herein as a “Declining Lender”), which right may be exercised by written 

  
 38 








 
notice thereof, specifying the maximum amount of the Loans of such Lender with respect to which such Lender agrees to the extension of the Existing Maturity Date, delivered to the Borrower (with
a copy to the Administrative Agent) not later than a day to be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent following the date on which the Maturity Date Extension Request shall have been delivered by the Borrower (it being understood
that any Lender that shall have failed to exercise such right as set forth above shall be deemed to be a Declining Lender). If a Lender elects to extend only a portion of its then existing Loans, it will be deemed for purposes hereof to be a
Consenting Lender in respect of such extended portion and a Declining Lender in respect of the remaining portion of its Loans. If Consenting Lenders shall have agreed to such Maturity Date Extension Request in respect of Loans held by them, then,
subject to paragraph (d) of this Section, on the date specified in the Maturity Date Extension Request as the effective date thereof (the “Extension Effective Date”), (i) the Existing Maturity Date of the applicable Loans
shall, as to the Consenting Lenders, be extended to such date as shall be specified therein, (ii) the terms and conditions of the Loans of the Consenting Lenders (including interest and fees payable in respect thereof), shall be modified as set
forth in the Maturity Date Extension Request and (iii) such other modifications and amendments hereto specified in the Maturity Date Extension Request shall (subject to any required approvals (including those of the Required Lenders) having
been obtained) become effective. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall have the right, in accordance with the provisions
of Sections 2.20 and 9.04, at any time prior to the Existing Maturity Date, to replace a Declining Lender (for the avoidance of doubt, only in respect of that portion of such Lender’s Loans subject to a Maturity Date Extension Request that it
has not agreed to extend) with a Lender or other financial institution that will agree to such Maturity Date Extension Request, and any such replacement Lender shall for all purposes constitute a Consenting Lender in respect of the Loans assigned to
and assumed by it on and after the effective time of such replacement. 
 (c) If a Maturity Date Extension Request has become effective
hereunder, on the Existing Maturity Date, the Borrower shall repay all the Loans of each Declining Lender, to the extent such Loans shall not have been so purchased, assigned and transferred, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest
and all fees and other amounts owing to such Declining Lender hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, any amortization in respect of the Loans of a Declining Lender shall continue to be payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Maturity Date Extension Request shall become effective hereunder unless, on the Extension Effective
Date, the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied (with all references in such Section to a Borrowing being deemed to be references to such Maturity Date Extension Request) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a
certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer. 
 (e) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, it is hereby agreed that no extension of an Existing Maturity Date in accordance with the 

  
 39 








 
express terms of this Section 2.23, or any amendment or modification of the terms and conditions of the Loans of the Consenting Lenders effected pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to
(i) violate the last sentence of Section 2.09(c) or Section 2.19(b) or 2.19(c) or any other provision of this Agreement requiring the ratable sharing of payments or (ii) require the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders
under Section 9.02(b). 
 (f) The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Consenting Lenders may enter into an amendment to this
Agreement to effect such modifications as may be necessary to reflect the terms of any Maturity Date Extension Request that has become effective in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.23. 

ARTICLE III  

Representations and Warranties 

The Borrower represents and warrants (as to itself and its own Subsidiaries) to the Lenders that: 

SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers. The Borrower and each Significant Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required. 

SECTION 3.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are within the Borrower’s and the Guarantor’s corporate powers
and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and, if required, stockholder action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes, and the Guarantee Agreement, when executed and delivered by the
Guarantor, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower or the Guarantor, as the case may be, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration
or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (b) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter, by-laws or other
organizational documents of the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any material indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Borrower or
any of the Subsidiaries or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, and (d) will 

  
 40 








 
not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries. 

SECTION 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders the
consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP,
independent registered public accounting firm. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and
for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to normal year-end audit adjustments. 
 (b) Since December 31, 2013, there has been
no material adverse change in the business, assets, operations or financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 

SECTION 3.05. Properties. (a) The Borrower and each Significant Subsidiary has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all
its real and personal property material to the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such
properties for their intended purposes. 
 (b) The Borrower and each Significant Subsidiary owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks,
tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, and the use thereof by the Borrower or such Significant Subsidiary does not infringe upon the rights of
any other Person, except for any such ownership, licenses or infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

SECTION 3.06. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or
Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries (i) which could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a
Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions. 
 (b) Except for
the Disclosed Matters and except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Borrower nor any of the Subsidiaries (i) has failed
to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any
claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability. 

  
 41 








 SECTION 3.07. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. The Borrower and each Subsidiary is in
compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or
in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.08. Investment Company
Status. Neither the Borrower nor the Guarantor is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940. 

SECTION 3.09. Taxes. The Borrower and each Subsidiary has filed or caused to be filed on a timely basis (taking into account all
extensions granted by the applicable Governmental Authority) all United States federal and applicable foreign, state and local Tax returns and reports and all other Tax returns and reports which are required to be filed and have paid or caused to be
paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) such Taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings as to which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP or (b) to the extent
the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.10. ERISA. No ERISA Event has
occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all
accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 715) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair
market value of the assets of such Plan by an amount which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for
purposes of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 715) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans by an amount which could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.11. Disclosure. As of the Effective Date, none of the
written reports, financial statements, certificates or other written information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement (as modified or supplemented by
other information so furnished on or prior to the Effective Date) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time (it being recognized by
the Lenders that such projected financial information are not to be viewed as facts or a guarantee of performance and are subject to significant uncertainties and circumstances many of which are beyond the Borrower’s control, that


  
 42 








 
no assurance can be given that any particular financial projections will be realized, and that actual results during the periods covered by any such projected financial information may differ
from the projected results, and such differences may be material). 
 SECTION 3.12. Federal Regulations. The proceeds of the Loans
will be used only to repay certain existing Indebtedness as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock in violation of Regulation U or X of
the Board. As of the date of this Agreement, if the full amount of the Lenders’ Commitments were used to purchase Margin Stock, no more than 25% of the value of the assets of the Borrower, or of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole, which are subject to the restrictions contained in Article VI would constitute Margin Stock. If the proceeds of any Loan are to be used in a manner which would cause such Loans to be classified as “purpose loans” under
Regulation U, then at the time of the making of such Loan and at the time of the making of each Loan thereafter (after applying the proceeds of all Loans then being or theretofore made), no more than 25% of the value of the assets of the
Borrower, or of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, which are subject to the restrictions contained in Article VI shall constitute Margin Stock. 

SECTION 3.13. Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.13 sets forth as of the Effective Date a list of all Subsidiaries and the percentage
ownership (directly or indirectly) of the Borrower therein. Except to the extent that could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the shares of capital stock or other ownership
interests so indicated on Schedule 3.13 are fully paid and non-assessable and are owned by the Borrower, directly or indirectly, free and clear of all Liens other than Liens permitted under Section 6.02(a), (c), (f) or, to the extent

 ARTICLE VIII 

The Administrative Agent 

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors
to serve as administrative agent under the Loan Documents, and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such
actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 
 The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same
rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or
in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to
the Lenders. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent
shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in
writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents),
provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion, could expose the Administrative Agent to liability or be contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly
set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of any of the
foregoing that is communicated to or 

  
 54 








 
obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the
consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan
Documents) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default
unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or
representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants,
agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or
document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any
condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet
website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being
the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof). The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper
Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof), and may act upon any such statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof. The
Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any
such counsel, accountants or experts. 
 The Administrative Agent may perform any of and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers
hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of and all their duties and exercise their rights and powers
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in
connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

 Subject to the terms of this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time from its
capacity as such. In connection with such resignation, the Administrative Agent shall give notice of its intent to resign to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right,
with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring
Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, which shall be a bank with an office in
New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of
the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be
the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and such successor. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and
Section 9.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its
sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 

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

Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement and funding its Loans on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page
to an Assignment and Acceptance or an Incremental Facility Agreement pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document
required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date. 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Arrangers nor any Person named on the cover page of this Agreement as a
Documentation Agent shall have any duties or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except 

  
 56 








 
in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender), but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder. 

The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (except as provided herein with respect to consent
rights over successor Administrative Agents), and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions.

 SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to
enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Documents are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall
be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall
not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 

(b) Except as provided in Section 2.23, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be
waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders or in the case of the
Guarantee Agreement, the Guarantor; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of
interest thereon (other than a waiver of post-default additional interest as specified in Section 2.14(a)), or reduce any fees payable to any Lender hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby,
(iii) postpone any scheduled payment of principal of any Loan, or any interest thereon (other than a waiver of post-default additional interest as specified in Section 2.14(c)), or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive
or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.19(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the
pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby or (v) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02(b) or the definition of “Required Lenders”
(other than any change to the definition of “Required Lenders” necessary for any new class of Lenders to be treated on the same basis as existing Lenders) or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of
Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, without the written consent of each Lender; provided, further, that
no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing (A) no consent with respect
to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be required of (1) any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in clause (i),
(ii) or (iii) of the first proviso of this paragraph and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be affected by such amendment, waiver or other modification or (2) any Lender that receives


  
 58 








 
payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by, and all other amounts owing to, such Lender or accrued for the account of such Lender under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents at the time such amendment, waiver or other modification becomes effective and whose Commitments terminate by the terms and upon the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or other modification and (B) any provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have
received at least five Business Days prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the
Required Lenders object to such amendment, and (C) this Agreement may be amended to provide for Incremental Term Commitments in the manner contemplated by Section 2.22 and the extension of the Maturity Date as provided in
Section 2.23, in each case, without the consent of any Person other than as required pursuant to Section 2.22 or Section 2.23, as applicable. 

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their Affiliates, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of
counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof
(whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or, after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of
Default or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents,
including its rights under this Section; provided further that the Borrower, in connection with the foregoing, shall only be required to pay the fees and expenses of (A) one counsel engaged to represent the Administrative Agent
and (B) in the case of the preceding clause (ii), (1) one joint counsel engaged to represent the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and all Lenders (taken together), plus one additional counsel for each of the parties taken as a whole who
are similarly situated in the event any Lender shall have reasonably determined, or been advised by counsel, that there are or may be actual conflicts of interest, including situations in which one or more legal defenses available to it are
different from or in additional to those available to any other Lender, and (2) such other joint local counsel in any applicable jurisdiction engaged to represent the Administrative Agent and all Lenders as may be required in the reasonable
judgment of the Administrative Agent. 
 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the
Arrangers and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
related expenses (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the documented 

  
 59 








 
fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, one local counsel in any applicable jurisdiction plus one additional counsel (and one
additional local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) for each of the parties taken as a whole who are similarly situated in the event any Indemnitee shall have reasonably determined, or been advised by counsel, that there are or may be
conflicts of interest, including situations in which one or more legal defenses available to it are different from or in additional to those available to any other Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party, the Borrower or
any Affiliate of the Borrower) relating to (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their obligations thereunder or the
consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom or (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently
or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available
to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or wilful
misconduct of such Indemnitee (or any Related Party of such Indemnitee) or, solely in the case of a claim initiated by the Borrower, material breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations under the Loan Documents in bad faith or (B) arise out of
disputes solely among Indemnitees and not arising out of any act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any disputes against the Administrative Agent or any Arranger in its capacity as such). This Section 9.03(b)
shall not apply with respect to Taxes. 
 (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by them to the
Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent hereof) or such
Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or
indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such. 

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) the Borrower shall not assert, or permit any of their Affiliates or Related Parties to
assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including
the Internet), unless caused by such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) and (ii) no party hereto shall, nor shall it permit any of
its Affiliates or Related Parties to assert, and each hereby 

  
 60 








 
waives, any claim against any other party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this clause (ii) will limit the
Borrower’s obligations as set forth in paragraph (b) above. 
 (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly
after written demand therefor. 
 SECTION 9.04. 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 permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not (except as otherwise provided herein) assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or
obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,
Participants (solely to the extent expressly provided in paragraph (e) of this Section) and the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b) Any Lender may assign to one or more commercial banks or other financial institutions all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) each of the Borrower (except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) and the
Administrative Agent must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld), (ii) the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the
date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent), if less than the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, shall not in any event be less than $5,000,000 unless
each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
(iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and provided further that (A) any consent of the Borrower otherwise required under the first proviso to this paragraph shall (1) not be required if an Event
of Default under clauses (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII (with respect to the Borrower) has occurred and is continuing and (2) for any assignment, be deemed to have been given by the Borrower unless it shall object to such
assignment by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having first received notice thereof, and (B) notwithstanding any other provision in this paragraph (b) (including the preceding clause (A) of
this proviso), the prior written consent of the Borrower shall be 

  
 61 








 
required in the case of any assignment to a Person referred to in clause (v) of Section 9.04(e). Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) of this
Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of
a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 9.03). Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in
accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower,
shall maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of and
stated interest on the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrower and any Lender (as to its own interest), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s
completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph
(b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded
in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 
 (e) Any Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) unless the Participant is
an Affiliate or an affiliated funding vehicle of such Lender, the Borrower’s consent, in its sole discretion, shall be required for the sale of such participation, (ii) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (iii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly
with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) notwithstanding 

  
 62 








 
any other provision in this paragraph (e), no Lender may, without the Borrower’s prior written consent, sell participations in any Loan or Commitment to Persons (other than banks and
similar financial institutions) that are engaged in the gold or minerals business and which are designated in writing from time to time by the Borrower as Persons that are ineligible to participate in Loans and Commitments; provided
further that any consent of the Borrower otherwise required under the first proviso to this paragraph (other than any consent required under clause (v) of this paragraph) shall (x) not be required if an Event of Default under
clauses (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII (with respect to the Borrower) has occurred and is continuing and (y) be deemed to have been given by the Borrower unless it shall object to such participation by written notice to the
Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having first received notice thereof. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the
Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any
amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.18(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.18(f) shall be delivered to the
participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of
Sections 2.19 and 2.20 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.16 or 2.18, with respect to any participation, than its participating
Lender would have been entitled to receive. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.19(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the
principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose
all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except
to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall
be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(f) Each Lender agrees that it will only provide to a Participant information relating to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that (i) is
or becomes generally 

  
 63 








 
available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such Lender or its agents, employees or advisors or (ii) becomes available on a nonconfidential basis, in each case other
than from a source which is bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Borrower. 
 (g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a
security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section shall not
apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such
Lender as a party hereto. 
 SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower
herein, in the other Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall
survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice
or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other
amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect
regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto
on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable
to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Delivery of
an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall,
as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of such Loan Document; and the invalidity of a
particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

  
 64 








 SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If the Loans shall have become due and payable, each Lender
and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and
other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to and shall not limit other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. 
 SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of
Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. 
 (b) The
Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the
Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees
that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect
any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

(c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection
which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01 (other
than by electronic communications or telecopy). Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party hereto or thereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 

  
 65 








 SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER
BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION,
SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 

SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are
not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the
Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or self-regulatory body,
(c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable law or such Person’s
internal policies, use reasonable efforts to promptly inform the Borrower thereof), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee or prospective assignee of any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement, (g) to any direct, indirect, actual or prospective counterparty (and its advisor) to any swap, derivative or securitization transaction related to the obligations under this Agreement (it being understood that
the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (h) to any credit insurance provider relating to the Borrower and its obligations
(it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (i) with the consent of the Borrower or (j) to the
extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower
not subject (to the knowledge of the Administrative Agent or such Lender)

to a confidentiality agreement with the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its
business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after
the Effective Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its
obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

SECTION 9.13. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it
may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name, address and tax identification number of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify
such Loan Party in accordance with the Act. Each Loan Party shall promptly, following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender reasonably
requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act. 

SECTION 9.14. Release of Newmont USA as a Guarantor. Newmont USA shall automatically be released from its obligations as a Guarantor
under the Loan Documents upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which Newmont USA (a) ceases to be a Subsidiary; provided that, if so required by this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall
have consented to such transaction and the terms of such consent shall not have provided otherwise, or (b) is released from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof. In connection with any termination or
release pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to the Borrower, at the Borrower’s expense, all documents that the Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and
delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 9.15. No
Fiduciary Relationship. The Borrower, on behalf of itself and the Subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries,
on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. The Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders and their Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts
or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, and none of the Administrative Agent, the 

  
 67 








 
Arrangers, the Lenders or their Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower
hereby waives and releases any claims that it or any of the Subsidiaries may have against the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders and their Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in
connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

Disclosed Matters 
 NWG
Investments Inc. v. Fronteer Gold Inc. 
 Further to the NWG Investments Inc. v. Fronteer Gold Inc. matter
disclosed in the most recent Form 10-K of Newmont Mining Corporation (“Newmont”), NWG served a lawsuit against NMCCL and several other entities with the same allegations contained in the New York action in Ontario, Canada. As
previously disclosed, Newmont successfully obtained dismissal of the New York matter for forum non conveniens. NWG filed a motion to appeal the dismissal in New York, but did not perfect the appeal. After filing the Ontario
action, NWG withdrew the appeal in New York. Newmont will defend the action in Ontario.

[FORM OF] 

GUARANTEE AGREEMENT dated as of March [31], 2014 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time,
this “Agreement”), among NEWMONT USA LIMITED (the “Guarantor”) and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Administrative Agent. 

Reference is made to the Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of March [31], 2014 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Newmont Mining Corporation (the “Borrower”), the Lenders from time to time party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the
“Administrative Agent”). 
 The Lenders have agreed to extend credit to the Borrower subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Guarantor will derive substantial benefits from the extension of credit to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement and is willing to execute and deliver this Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to
continue to extend such credit. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1. Definitions. (a) Capitalized
terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings specified in the Credit Agreement. 
 (b) The rules of
construction specified in Section 1.03 of the Credit Agreement also apply to this Agreement. 
 SECTION 2. Guarantee.
(a) The Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the Obligations of the Borrower. The Guarantor further agrees that the due and punctual payment of the Obligations of the
Borrower may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any Obligation. 

(b) The Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice
of acceptance of its obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the
Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement, any Loan Document or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or release from, any of the terms or
provisions of this Agreement or any Loan Document or other agreement; (iv) the failure or delay of any Lender to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Obligations; (v) the failure of any Lender to assert any claim
or demand or to enforce any remedy under any Loan Document or any other agreement or 

  
 D-1 

Form of Guarantee Agreement 








 
instrument; (vi) any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations; or (vii) any other act, omission or delay to do any other act which may or
might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantor as a matter of law or equity or which would impair or eliminate any right of the Guarantor to subrogation. 

(c) The Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a promise of payment when due (whether or not any bankruptcy or
similar proceeding shall have stayed the accrual or collection of any of the Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) and not merely of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Lender to any balance of any
deposit account or credit on the books of any Lender in favor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any other Person. 
 (d) The obligations
of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations, any impossibility in the performance of the Obligations or otherwise. 

(e) The Guarantor further agrees that its obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise. 

(f) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Lender may have at law or in equity against the
Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon
receipt of written demand by the Administrative Agent, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the applicable Lenders in cash an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Obligation. 

(g) Upon payment in full by the Guarantor of any Obligation of the Borrower, each Lender shall, in a reasonable manner, assign to the
Guarantor the amount of such Obligation owed to such Lender and so paid, such assignment to be pro tanto to the extent to which the Obligation in question was discharged by the Guarantor, or make such disposition thereof as the Guarantor shall
direct (all without recourse to any Lender and without any representation or warranty by any Lender). Upon payment by the Guarantor of any sums as provided above, all rights of the Guarantor against the Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of
right of subrogation or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of all the Obligations owed by the Borrower to the Lenders (it being understood that, after the
discharge of all the Obligations due and payable from the Borrower, such rights may be exercised by the Guarantor notwithstanding that the Borrower may remain contingently liable for indemnity or other Obligations). 

  
 2 








 SECTION 3. Additional Agreements. Until the Commitments have expired or terminated and the
principal of and interest on each Loan and all fees payable under the Credit Agreement have been paid in full, the Guarantor covenants and agrees with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders that it will be bound by each of the
covenants contained in the Credit Agreement to the extent applicable to the Guarantor. 
 SECTION 4. Information. The Guarantor
assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the
risks that the Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender will have any duty to advise the Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks. 

SECTION 5. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and
given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the Guarantor shall be given to it in care of the Borrower as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. 

SECTION 6. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Guarantor herein and in the
certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Administrative Agent and shall survive the execution and delivery of
this Agreement, the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any
Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount
payable under any Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. 
 SECTION 7.
Binding Effect; Several Agreement. (a) This Agreement shall become effective when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of the Guarantor shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have
been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent. 
 (b) Following the effectiveness of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be binding
upon the Guarantor and the Administrative Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that
the Guarantor shall not have the right to assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit
Agreement. 

  
 3 








 SECTION 8. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is
referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Guarantor or the Administrative Agent that are contained in this Agreement
shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns. 
 SECTION 9. Administrative Agent’s Fees and
Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement. 

(b) The Guarantor agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the other Indemnitees against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any
and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the documented fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, one
local counsel in any applicable jurisdiction plus one additional counsel (and one additional local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) for each of the parties taken as a whole who are similarly situated in the event any Indemnitee shall have
reasonably determined, or been advised by counsel, that there are or may be conflicts of interest, including situations in which one or more legal defenses available to it are different from or in addition to those available to any other
Indemnitee), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing or to any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower); provided
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to
have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee (or any Related Party of such Indemnitee) or, solely in the case of a claim initiated by the Borrower, material breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations under this
Agreement in bad faith or (ii) arise out of disputes solely among Indemnitees and not arising out of any act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates (other than any disputes against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as
such). 
 (c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations. The provisions of this Section 9 shall
remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability
of any term or provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

 SECTION 10. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND
GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 SECTION 11. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a
right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the Loan Documents are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section 11, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Guarantor in any case shall entitle the Guarantor to any
other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived,
amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into between the Administrative Agent and the Guarantor with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to the consent of the
Required Lenders. 
 SECTION 12. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
(B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 

SECTION 13. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions with 

  
 5 








 
valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 

SECTION 14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which
when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 7. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or other electronic means shall be as effective as
delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 15. Headings. Section headings used herein are for
convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

SECTION 16. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) The Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for
itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof,
in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect
of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise
have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any Loan Document against the Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

(b) The Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection
which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 16. Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 5. Nothing in
this Agreement or any Loan Document will affect the right of either party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 

SECTION 17. Termination; Release of Guarantor. (a) This Agreement and the guarantees set forth herein shall terminate when all the
Obligations have been paid in full and the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement. 

  
 6 








 (b) In the event that (i) all the equity interests in the Guarantor are sold, transferred or
otherwise disposed of to a Person other than the Borrower or its Subsidiaries in a transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement or (ii) the Guarantor shall no long guarantee any Material Indebtedness of the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent shall, in each case, at the Borrower’s expense, promptly take such action and execute such documents as the Borrower may reasonably request to terminate the guarantee of the Guarantor hereunder. 

SECTION 18. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is
hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time
owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantor against any of and all the obligations of the Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such
Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 18 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such
Lender may have.
