WHEREAS, subject to the terms hereof, the parties to the Agreement wish to make certain amendments to the Agreement as provided
herein. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein, and for good
and sufficient consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows: 

Section 1. Amendments to the Agreement. 

1.1. Section 1.20 to the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety and as so amended shall read as follows: 

Section 1.20 Successor LIBOR Market Index Rate. 

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if the
Administrator determines that a Benchmark Transition Event or an 











 
Early Opt-in Event has occurred, the Administrator and the Seller may amend this Agreement to replace the LIBOR Market Index Rate with a Benchmark
Replacement; and any such amendment will become effective at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrator has provided such proposed amendment to all Purchaser Agents and the Seller, so long as the
Administrator has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Purchaser Agents comprising the Majority Purchaser Agents. Until the Benchmark Replacement is effective, the Discount for any outstanding Portion of
Capital funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the LIBOR Market Index Rate will continue to be funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the LIBOR Market Index Rate; provided, however, during a Benchmark
Unavailability Period (i) the Discount for any outstanding Portion of Capital then funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the LIBOR Market Index Rate shall be automatically converted to the Alternate Rate determined by
reference to the Base Rate at the expiration of the existing Yield Period (or sooner, if Administrator cannot continue to lawfully fund or maintain such Portion of Capital at the Alternate Rate based upon the LIBOR Market Index Rate), and
(ii) the Seller may revoke (x) any Purchase Notice for a Purchase to be funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the LIBOR Market Index Rate, (y) any request for the Discount for any outstanding Portion of Capital then
funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate to be converted to the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the LIBOR Market Index Rate, and (z) any request for the Discount for any outstanding Portion of Capital then
funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the LIBOR Market Index Rate to be continued, if such Purchase Notice or request, as applicable, was issued or made prior to commencement of the Benchmark Unavailability Period. 

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the
Administrator will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement
Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. 
 (c)
Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrator will promptly notify the Seller and the Purchasers of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition 

  
 -2- 












 
Event or an Early Opt-in Event, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement,
(iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrator or the
Purchasers pursuant to this Section 1.20 including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or
date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly
required pursuant to this Section 1.20. 
 1.2. The following defined terms appearing in Exhibit I
to the Agreement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety and as so amended shall read as follows:

Originator to such Obligor as of the last day of the most recently ended Fiscal Month other than (i) any such amounts payable subject to a Net-Out Agreement and (ii) any such amounts payable asserted
by such Obligor as an offset to the Outstanding Balance of Eligible Receivables of such Obligor; provided, that if, at any time, the aggregate amounts payable by the applicable Originator to such Obligor equal or exceed the Unsupported
Outstanding Balance of Eligible Receivables of such Obligor at such time, then the amount determined pursuant to this defined term for such Obligor shall be the greater of (x) $0 and (y) the Unsupported Outstanding Balance of Eligible
Receivables of such Obligor at such time. 
 “Facility Termination Date” means the earliest to occur of:
(a) April 21, 2021, (b) the Facility Termination Date declared by the Administrator, or deemed to occur, in accordance with Section 2.2 of this Agreement, (c) the date the Purchase Limit reduces to zero

applicable Purchaser Agent from another recognized source for interbank quotation), in each case, changing when and as such rate changes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the LIBOR Market Index Rate as determined herein would be less than one-half of one percent (0.50%), such rate shall be deemed to be one-half of one percent (0.50%) for purposes of this Agreement.

portion of the Purchase Limit shall mean, at any time, the Purchase Limit minus the sum of the then outstanding Aggregate Capital plus the LC Participation Amount. 

1.3. Clause (g) of the defined term “Eligible Receivable” appearing in Exhibit I to the Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety and as so amended shall read as follows: 
 (g) that (i) is not the subject of any asserted
dispute, offset, hold back, defense, Adverse Claim or other claim except to the extent any of the foregoing would be included in the Contra Deduction Amount if a Level 2 Ratings Event has occurred and is continuing or (ii) is not, except
in the case of a Pool Receivable originated by Targa Gas Marketing LLC or Targa Midstream Services LLC, a Net-Out Receivable;

Level 1 Ratings Event or DPO Event has occurred and is continuing, the percentage set forth in the foregoing clause (y) may be adjusted to such other percentage determined by the Majority Purchaser Agents in their sole discretion
(which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be zero).

then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for such replacement of the LIBOR Market Index Rate for U.S. dollar-denominated credit facilities at such time
