 CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of May 12, 2015 among TALLGRASS EQUITY, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (the “Borrower”), the Lenders (such term and each other capitalized term used but not defined in this introductory statement having the meaning given it in Article I), BARCLAYS BANK PLC
(“Barclays”), as administrative agent (in such capacity, including any successor thereto in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and Barclays, as collateral agent (in such capacity, including
any successor thereto in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) for the Lenders. 
 The Borrower has requested the
Lenders to extend credit in the form of Revolving Loans at any time and from time to time prior to the Maturity Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding (when taken together with the face amount of Letters of Credit and
Swing Line Loans then outstanding) not in excess of $150,000,000. The Borrower has requested the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit, in an aggregate face amount at any time outstanding not in excess of $10,000,000 (and, when taken together
with the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans then outstanding, not in excess of $150,000,000), to support payment obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business by the Borrower. The proceeds of the Revolving
Loans may be used on or after the Closing Date (i) to pay Transaction costs and any fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Revolving Loans, (ii) to fund the purchase of Equity Interests in TEP from T-Dev Operations and
(iii) for the Borrower’s and TEP GP’s general company purposes, including distributions of the Borrower. 
 The Borrower
desires to secure all of the Obligations under the Loan Documents by granting to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in and Lien upon all of the Equity Interests of the Borrower in TEP and TEP GP,
subject to the limitations described herein and in the Security Agreement. 
 The Lenders are willing to extend such credit to the Borrower,
and the Issuing Banks are willing to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

ARTICLE I 
 Definitions 

SECTION 1.01 Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings specified below: 

“ABR”, 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. All Swing Line Loans shall be ABR Loans and shall bear interest at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate. 

“Additional Lender” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2.24(b). 

“Administrative Agent” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the introductory statement to this Agreement.

through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Person specified. 

“Affiliate Subordination Agreement” shall mean a subordination agreement in the form of Exhibit E pursuant to
which intercompany obligations and advances owed by the Borrower are subordinated to the Obligations.

“Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure” shall mean the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving
Credit Exposures.

“Alternate Base Rate” shall mean, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in

avoidance of doubt, the Reserve Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for any day shall be based on the offered rate which appears on the page of the Reuters Screen which displays the London interbank offered rate administered by ICE Benchmark Administration
Limited (such page currently being the LIBOR01 page) for deposits in Dollars. If the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that it is unable to ascertain the Federal Funds
Effective Rate for any reason, including the inability or failure of the Administrative Agent to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms of the definition thereof, the Alternate Base Rate shall be determined without regard to
clause (b) of the preceding sentence until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Reserve Adjusted
Eurodollar Rate shall be effective on the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Reserve Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on any date of determination the
Alternate Base Rate shall be no less than 0.00%. 
 “Applicable Margin” shall mean, for any day (a) with
respect to ABR Loans hereunder, 1.50% per annum and (b) with respect to Eurodollar Loans hereunder, 2.50% per annum.

ending on or (if such date is not a Date of Determination) prior to such date.

of merger or otherwise) by the Borrower of any Collateral consisting of Equity Interests or by TEP GP of any Equity Interests in TEP. For the avoidance of doubt, the modification or waiver by TEP GP of incentive distribution rights in TEP shall not
constitute an Asset Sale. 
 “Assignment and Acceptance” shall mean an assignment and acceptance entered into by a
Lender and an Eligible Assignee (but not an assignment and acceptance entered into by the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or subsidiaries), and accepted by the Administrative Agent, in the form of Exhibit A or such

interbank market. 
 “Capital Lease Obligations” of any Person shall mean the obligations of such Person to pay rent
or other amounts under any lease of (or other arrangement conveying the right to use) real or personal property, or a combination thereof, which obligations are required to be classified and accounted for as capital leases on a balance sheet of such

Credit Commitment of such 

  
 23 







 
Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such
Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the limits set forth in the preceding sentence and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. 

SECTION 2.02 Loans. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with their applicable Commitments (or, in the case of Swing Line Loans, ratably in accordance with their respective Swing Line Commitments); provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in

make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than ten

(c) Except with respect to Loans made pursuant to Section 2.02(f) and Swing Line Loans, each Lender shall make each Loan to be
made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, and the Administrative
Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been
met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders. 
 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the
Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, but is not required to, make available to the Borrower on such date a
corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay
to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative
Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to
represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such
amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. 

  
 24 







 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to
request any Revolving Credit Borrowing or Swing Line Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date. 

(f) If the applicable Issuing Bank shall not have received from the Borrower the payment required to be made by Section 2.23(e)
within the time specified in such Section, such Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the L/C Disbursement and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of such L/C Disbursement and its Pro
Rata Percentage thereof. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Revolving Credit Lender shall have
received such notice later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on any day, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C
Disbursement (it being understood that (i) if the conditions precedent to Borrowing set forth in Sections 4.01(b) and 4.01(c) have been satisfied, such amount shall be deemed to constitute an ABR Revolving Loan of such Lender and,
to the extent of such payment, the obligations of the Borrower in respect of such L/C Disbursement shall be discharged and replaced with the resulting ABR Revolving Credit Borrowing, and (ii) if such conditions precedent to Borrowing have not
been satisfied, then any such amount paid by any Revolving Credit Lender shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower from its obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement), and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to such
Issuing Bank amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to such Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.23(e) prior to the time that any
Revolving Credit Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph (f); any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have
made such payments and to such Issuing Bank, as their interests may appear. If any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, such Lender and
the Borrower severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this paragraph to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for
the account of such Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(a), and (ii) in the case of such Lender, for the first such
day, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and for each day thereafter, the Alternate Base Rate. 
 SECTION 2.03 Borrowing
Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing (other than a deemed Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(f) or a Borrowing of Swing Line Loans under Section 2.22 as to which this Section 2.03 shall not apply),
the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three (3) Business Days before a proposed Borrowing, and
(b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the Business Day prior to the requested date of a proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, and shall be
confirmed promptly by hand delivery or fax to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request and shall specify the following information: (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Revolving Credit Borrowing or an
Incremental Borrowing, and whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing (provided that, until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower that the primary syndication of the Commitments has been
completed (which notice shall be given as promptly as practicable), the Borrower shall not be permitted to request a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period in excess of one month); (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a
Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed; (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto;
provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification 

  
 25 







 
in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such
notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s
duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing. 

SECTION 2.04 Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loan. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (i) the principal amount of each Swing Line Loan of such Swing Line Lender then outstanding on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the first date after such Swing Line Loan is made that is
the 15th or the last day of a calendar month and is at least five (5) Business Days after such Swing Line Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Loan Borrowing is
made, the Borrower shall repay all Swing Line Loans then outstanding and (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Maturity Date. 

(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 from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. 

(c) Subject to Section 9.04(d), which shall control in all cases, the Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it
will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and, if applicable, the Interest Period 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 from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. 

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall be prima facie evidence
of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the
obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. 
 (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder
be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Loan Note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive such a promissory note, the interests represented by such note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such
interests pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns. 

SECTION 2.05 Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business
Day of March, June, September and December in each year and on each date on which any Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a “Revolving Credit Commitment Fee”), equal
to 0.50% per annum on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment (reduced by the face amount of Letters of Credit issued and outstanding) of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing with the Closing
Date or ending with the Maturity Date or the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender shall expire or be terminated). 

  
 26 







 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to each of the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent, in each case for its own account, a non-refundable agency fee, as set forth in the Agent Fee Letter (the “Agent Fees”). 

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to each Revolving Credit Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business
Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an “L/C Participation Fee”) calculated on such
Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the daily aggregate L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the
Maturity Date or the date on which all Letters of Credit have been canceled or have expired and the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders shall have been terminated) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin from time to time used to
determine the interest rate on Revolving Credit Borrowings comprised of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 2.06, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (A) a fronting
fee equal to 0.125% of the face amount of such Letter of Credit, (1) on a quarterly basis in arrears on the last Business Day of each of March, June, September and December, commencing on the last Business Day of June 2015 and (2) on the
Maturity Date and (B) the standard fronting, issuance and drawing fees specified from time to time by such Issuing Bank (the “Issuing Bank Fees”). All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees shall be computed on the
basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. 
 (d) The Borrower agrees to pay on the Closing Date such
fees as may be agreed in respect of the Credit Facilities between the Borrower and Barclays Bank PLC pursuant to letter agreements between the Borrower and Barclays Bank PLC (including any Fee Letter), which fees will be in all respects fully
earned, due and payable on the Closing Date and non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter. 
 (e) All fees shall be paid on the dates
due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that the Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Bank. Once paid, none of the fees shall
be refundable under any circumstances. 
 SECTION 2.06 Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of
Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including any Swing Line Loans) shall bear interest (in the case of ABR Loans bearing interest based upon the Prime Rate, computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed
over a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and in all other cases, computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days at all times and calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to but excluding the
date of repayment or conversion thereof), at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (b)
Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Reserve
Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (c) Interest on each Loan shall
be payable on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Reserve Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as
the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 27 







 SECTION 2.07 Default Interest. If any Event of Default under Article VII has
occurred and is continuing, then, from the date of such Event of Default and for so long as such Event of Default is continuing, to the extent permitted by law, all amounts not paid when due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall
bear interest (after as well as before judgment), payable on demand, (a) in the case of principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 plus 2.00% per annum and (b) in all other cases, at
a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) equal to the rate that
would be applicable to an ABR Loan plus 2.00% per annum (such 2.00% rate referred to in clauses (a) and (b), the “Default Rate”). 

SECTION 2.08 Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two (2) Business Days prior to
the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent shall have determined that Dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London
interbank market, or that the rates at which such Dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the majority of Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period, or that reasonable
means do not exist for ascertaining the Reserve Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or fax notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such
determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to
Section 2.03 or 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing. Each determination by the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.08 shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

SECTION 2.09 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Revolving Credit Commitments and the Swing Line Commitment
shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date. The L/C Commitment shall automatically terminate on the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) the date five (5) Business Days prior to
the Maturity Date. 
 (b) Upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior irrevocable written or fax notice to the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Revolving Credit Commitments or the Swing Line Commitment; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction
of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, (ii) each partial reduction of the Swing Line Commitment shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum
amount of $1,000,000 and (iii) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at the time. 

(c) Upon any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.12(b), the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permanently reduced by an
amount equal to 25% of such mandatory prepayment. 
 (d) If, after giving effect to any partial reduction of the Revolving Credit
Commitments or at any other time, the Total Revolving Credit Commitment is $10,000,000 or less, then the Administrative Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Lenders, shall have the right to permanently terminate the Revolving Credit
Commitments upon thirty days’ written notice to the Borrower. 
 (e) Each reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder shall
be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction, the Revolving
Credit Commitment Fees on the amount of the Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction. 

  
 28 







 SECTION 2.10 Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings. The Borrower shall have the
right at any time upon prior irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior to conversion, to convert any Eurodollar Borrowing into an ABR
Borrowing, (b) not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing as a Eurodollar
Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, and (c) not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing to another
permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following: 
 (i) until the Administrative Agent shall have notified
the Borrower that the primary syndication of the Commitments has been completed (which notice shall be given as promptly as practicable), no ABR Borrowing may be converted into a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period in excess of one month;

 (ii) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal
amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing; 
 (iii) if less than all the outstanding principal
amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the
relevant Type; 
 (iv) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative Agent by recording for the
account of such Lender the new Loan of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any Eurodollar Loan (or portion
thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion; 
 (v) if any Eurodollar Borrowing is
converted at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.15; 

(vi) any portion of a Borrowing maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued
as a Eurodollar Borrowing; 
 (vii) any portion of a Eurodollar Borrowing that cannot be converted into or continued as a
Eurodollar Borrowing by reason of the immediately preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing; 

(viii) upon notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Required Lenders, after the
occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, no outstanding Loan may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Loan; and 

(ix) this Section shall not apply to Swing Line Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued. 

Each Interest Election Notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify
(i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar 

  
 29 







 
Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted
to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to
have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing.
If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to
convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be converted to an ABR Borrowing. 

SECTION 2.11 Voluntary Prepayment. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any
Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written or fax notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or written or fax notice (or telephonic
notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment in the case of ABR Loans, to the Administrative Agent before 12:00 (noon), New York City time; provided, however,
that (i) each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (ii) at the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.11(a), such prepayment shall not, so long as no Event of Default then exists, be applied to any Revolving Loan of a Defaulting Lender. 

(b) Each Prepayment Notice shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid,
shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein; provided, however, that if such prepayment is contingent upon the successful issuance or incurrence of
Indebtedness permitted by Section 6.01 to be issued or incurred or is for all of the then outstanding Loans, then the Borrower may revoke such notice and/or extend the prepayment date by not more than five (5) Business Days;
provided, further, however, that the provisions of Section 2.15 shall apply with respect to any such revocation or extension. All prepayments under this Section 2.11 shall be subject to
Section 2.15. All prepayments under this Section 2.11 (other than prepayments of ABR Revolving Loans that are not made in connection with the termination or permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments) shall be
accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment. 
 SECTION 2.12
Mandatory Prepayments. (a) In the event of any termination of all the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all its outstanding Revolving Loans and all outstanding Swing
Line Loans and replace or cause to be canceled (or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank with respect to) all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. If, after giving effect to any
partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments or at any other time, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction or at such other time,
repay or prepay Revolving Loans and, after the Revolving Loans shall have been repaid or prepaid in full, replace or cause to be canceled (or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank with respect to)
Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. 
 (b) Not later than the third Business Day
following the consummation of any Asset Sale, the Borrower shall apply an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by the Borrower or TEP GP with respect thereto to prepay outstanding Loans and/or cash collateralize outstanding Letters
of Credit in accordance with Section 2.12(c). The Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permanently reduced as set forth in Section 2.09(c) in connection with any such mandatory prepayment. 

  
 30 







 (c) Mandatory prepayments under Section 2.12(b) shall be applied without penalty or
premium, first, to Revolving Loans and, second, to cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit (in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount) on a pro rata basis, in each case, with a corresponding permanent reduction of
the Revolving Credit Commitments. 
 (d) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required
under this Section 2.12, (i) a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least three
(3) Business Days’ prior written notice of such prepayment (other than in the case of prepayments of ABR Revolving Loans that are not made in connection with the termination or permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments). Each
Prepayment Notice shall specify the prepayment date, the Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.12 shall be subject to
Section 2.15, and shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment. 

SECTION 2.13 Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if
any Change in Law shall (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender or any
Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Reserve Adjusted Eurodollar Rate), (ii) subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to any Taxes in connection with this Agreement or any Loan,
Letter of Credit or Commitment made hereunder or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or change the basis of taxation payments in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnified pursuant
to Section 2.19 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or Issuing Bank) or (iii) impose on such Lender or such Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition
affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any
Eurodollar Loan or increase the cost to any Lender or any Issuing Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining a participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or
such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank shall
have determined that any Change in Law regarding any capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or
such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made or participations in Letters of Credit purchased by such Lender pursuant hereto or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank pursuant
hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing
Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

  
 31 







 (c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the
calculation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above, shall be delivered to the Borrower and
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same. 

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts
received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to
compensate any Lender or any Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 180 days prior to such request if such Lender
or such Issuing Bank knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of
such increased costs or reductions; provided, further, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 180-day period. The
protection of this Section 2.13 shall be available to each Lender and each Issuing Bank regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed. 

SECTION 2.14 Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall
make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent: 

(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such
Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans, whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a
Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an
ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and 
 (ii) such Lender may require
that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b)
below. 
 In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of
principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of,
or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans. 
 (b) For purposes of this Section 2.14, a notice to the Borrower
by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by
the Borrower. 

  
 32 







 SECTION 2.15 Breakage. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss
(other than a loss of applicable margin or profits) or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in
(i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan, or
the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any Eurodollar Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan
to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a
“Breakage Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably
determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would
have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate of any Lender setting
forth in reasonable detail the calculation of any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

SECTION 2.16 Pro Rata Treatment. Except as provided with respect to Swing Line Loans, subject to the express provisions of this
Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders, and as required under Section 2.14, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing,
each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Revolving Credit Commitment Fees, each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall
be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans). For
purposes of determining the available Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders at any time, each outstanding Swing Line Loan shall be deemed to have utilized the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders (including those Lenders which shall
have not have made any Swing Line Loans) pro rata in accordance with such respective Revolving Credit Commitments. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may,
in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount. 
 SECTION 2.17
Sharing. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United
States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or
involuntary) in respect of any Loan or L/C Disbursement as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans and
participations in L/C Disbursements of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans and
L/C Exposure of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and L/C Exposure and participations in Loans and L/C Exposure held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount
of all Loans and L/C Exposure then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans and L/C Exposure prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans and L/C Exposure
outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other 

  
 33 







 
event; provided, however, that (i) if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.17 and the payment giving rise thereto
shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this
Section 2.17 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 of its Affiliates (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.17 shall apply). The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing
arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan or L/C Disbursement deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by
the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

SECTION 2.18 Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any
L/C Disbursement or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available Dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Any
amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating the amounts due hereunder. Each such payment (other than
Issuing Bank Fees, which shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Bank) shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 745 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each
Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender. 
 (b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be
made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable. 

(c) 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 or the applicable Issuing Bank 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 or applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or applicable
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, 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 to represent its cost of overnight or short term funds (which
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). 
 SECTION 2.19 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on
account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided that, if any Taxes are required by law to be withheld or
deducted from such payments, then (i) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions or withholdings, (ii) such withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law and (iii) if any Taxes required to be withheld or deducted are Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be 

  
 34 







 
increased as necessary so that after making such required deductions or withholdings (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section 2.19) the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. 

(b) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any other Taxes. 
 (c)
Without duplication of Sections 2.19(a) or (b) above, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any withholdings or deductions from any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower
hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.19) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or
an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower
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. 
 (e) (i) Any Lender (which, for purposes of this Section 2.19(e) shall include an
Issuing Bank), if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law 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 sentence, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such
documentation set forth in Section 2.19(e)(ii) and (iii)) 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 or if such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver such documentation. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update, if
it is legally entitled to, any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.19(e). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.19(e) 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 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, 
 (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (at the times and in the manner provided with respect to Foreign Lenders under the preceding sentence) IRS Form W-9 (or its successor form); 

  
 35 







 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, two accurate and complete executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable: 

(1) IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or its successor form) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to
which the United States is a party; 
 (2) IRS Form W-8ECI (or its successor form); 

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under the Code, both IRS Form
W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E and a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1; 
 (4) IRS
Form W-8IMY (or its successor form), together with an IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other
certification documents from each beneficial owner of the Foreign Lender, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio
interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partners; or 

(5) IRS Form W-8EXP (or its successor form). 

(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 under FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such
Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.19(e)(iii), the definition of “FATCA” shall include
any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 (f) If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines,
in its discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19,
it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.19 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund);
provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any interest, penalties or other charges imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative 

  
 36 







 
Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.19(f), in no event
will the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph to the extent the payment of such amount would place the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank in
a less favorable net after-Tax position than it would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. Nothing in this Section 2.19(f) shall be construed to require the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 

(g) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.19 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any
assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 

SECTION 2.20 Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate. (a) In the event (i) any Lender
or any Issuing Bank delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.13, (ii) any Lender or any Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.14, (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any
additional amount to any Lender or any Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.19, (iv) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other
modification of any Loan Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required Lenders or
(v) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, in each case, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such
Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender or such Issuing Bank to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.15 and 2.19, its rights pursuant to Section 9.05 in respect of the period in which it
was a Lender (and its rights in respect of any outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such Lender)) and obligations under this Agreement (or, in the case of clause (iv) above, all of its interests, rights and obligation with respect to
the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, amendment, waiver or other modification) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations and, with respect to clause (iv) above, shall
consent to such requested amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Documents (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule
or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, of
each Issuing Bank and each Swing Line Lender), which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (z) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender or the affected Issuing Bank in immediately
available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans or L/C Disbursements of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, respectively, plus all Fees and other amounts accrued
for the account of such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder with respect thereto (including any amounts under Sections 2.13, 2.15 and 2.19); provided, further, that, if prior to any such transfer and
assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s claim for compensation under Section 2.13, notice under Section 2.14, entitlement to receive amounts pursuant to
Section 2.19 or being a Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender or such Issuing Bank to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have
the consequences specified in Section 2.14, or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.19, or cease to cause such Lender to be a 

  
 37 







 
Defaulting Lender, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender or such Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (b) below), or if such Lender or such
Issuing Bank shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.13 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.14 or shall waive its right to further payments under
Section 2.19 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification, as the case may be, or shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender, then such Lender or such Issuing Bank
shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event that a Lender does not comply with the requirements of this Section 2.20(a) within one
(1) Business Day after receipt of such notice, such assignment shall be deemed to have occurred on such Business Day without such Lender’s execution of any documentation required pursuant to Section 9.04 but after satisfaction
of the other conditions set forth herein. 
 (b) If (i) any Lender or any Issuing Bank shall request compensation under
Section 2.13, (ii) any Lender or any Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.14 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Issuing Bank or any Governmental
Authority on account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.19, then such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender or such Issuing Bank to incur an unreimbursed loss
or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or
document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would materially reduce its
claims for compensation under Section 2.13, or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.14 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.19, as the case may be, in the future. The Borrower
hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or any Issuing Bank in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer. 

SECTION 2.21 Defaulting Lender. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or
consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and in Section 9.08. 

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 9.06 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;
second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Banks and Swing Line Lenders hereunder; third, on a pro rata basis to cash collateralize each Issuing Bank’s Fronting
Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.21(d) and to pay to each Swing Line Lender its Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as
no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so
determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such 

  
 38 







 
Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ and Swing Line Lenders’
future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans, if any and as applicable, issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.21(d) (in the case of
Letters of Credit); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a
result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a
court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and
(y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements
owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders of the applicable Class on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and L/C Exposure are held by the
Lenders of the applicable Class pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Class without giving effect to Section 2.21(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that
are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.21(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents
hereto. 
 (iii) Certain Fees. (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any
Revolving Credit Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

 (B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C Participation Fees for any period during which that Lender
is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.21(d). 

(C) With respect to any L/C Participation Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause
(B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect
of Letters of Credit that have been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Bank the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable
to such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee. 

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s
obligation to fund participations in respect of Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages (calculated
without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set  

  
 39 







 
forth in Section 4.01 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall
be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time) and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any such Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting
Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim
of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. 

(v) Cash Collateral and Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause
(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, cash collateralize any Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with
the procedures set forth in Section 2.21(d) and repay any Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure by repaying the Swing Line Loans such that such Fronting Exposure is reduced to zero. 

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Swing Line Lender and each Issuing
Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may
include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be
necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with the Revolving Credit Commitments (without giving effect to
Section 2.21(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of
the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder
from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 

(c) New Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) no Swing
Line Lender shall be required to fund any Swing Line Loan and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit except in accordance with Section 2.23(a), in each case unless it is
satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Loan Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.23(j), and participating interests
in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swing Line Loan shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(a)(iv) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate
therein). 
 (d) Cash Collateral. (i) At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one
(1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall cash collateralize such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such
Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.21(a)(iv) and any cash collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount. 

  
 40 







 (ii) The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such
Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Issuing Bank, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash collateral as security for the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to
fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit, to be applied pursuant to Section 2.23(j). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that cash collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the
Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount of such cash collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the
Administrative Agent additional cash collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any cash collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). 

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, cash collateral provided under this
Section 2.21 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit (including, as to cash collateral provided by a
Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the cash collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein. 

(iv) Cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no
longer be required to be held as cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.21 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender) or
(ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank that there exists excess cash collateral; provided that, subject to this Section 2.21, the Person providing cash collateral and such Issuing Bank may
agree that cash collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations; and provided, further, that to the extent that such cash collateral was provided by the Borrower, such cash collateral shall
remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 2.22 Swing Line Loans.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Swing Line Lender agrees to make Swing Line Loans to the Borrower from time to time prior to the Maturity Date in Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding
that will not result in (x) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swing Line Loans exceeding the total Swing Line Commitment, (y) the outstanding Swing Line Loans of each Swing Line Lender exceeding such Swing Line Lender’s
Swing Line Commitment or (z) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Total Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that no Swing Line Lender shall be required to make a Swing Line Loan to refinance an outstanding Swing Line
Borrowing. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swing Line Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.22 or
elsewhere in this Agreement, in the event that a Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Swing Line Lender shall be required to issue or extend any Swing Line Loan, unless any Fronting Exposure in respect thereof, after giving effect to
the extension of such Swing Line Loan, may be reallocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with Section 2.21(a)(iv) or, if such reallocation is not available in accordance with such Section, such Swing Line Lender has entered
into arrangements satisfactory to it, in its sole discretion, to eliminate such Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to the participation in Swing Line Loans by all such Defaulting Lenders, which may include prepaying such Swing Line Loans
while any Fronting Exposure exists in relation thereto. 
 (b) To request a Swing Line Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the applicable
Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of such request by not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time on the day of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing by delivering a Swing Line Borrowing Request. Each such notice and Swing Line
Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the requested 

  
 41 







 
date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount of the requested Swing Line Borrowing, (iii) the term of such Swing Line Loan and (iv) the location and number of the
Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed. Such Swing Line Lender shall make each Swing Line Loan in accordance with Section 2.02 on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 3:00 p.m.,
New York City time, to the account of the Borrower. 
 (c) Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan by the applicable Swing Line
Lender, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Credit
Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swing Line Loan. The applicable Swing Line Lender shall deliver the Swing Line Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly deliver such Swing Line Borrowing Request to each Revolving
Credit Lender. Each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice of the Swing Line Borrowing Request, to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Swing Line Lender, such
Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swing Line Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its respective obligation to acquire participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this paragraph is
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset,
abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02 with
respect to Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Swing Line Lender the
amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swing Line Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph (c), and thereafter payments by the Borrower
in respect of such Swing Line Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the applicable Swing Line Lender. Any amounts received by a Swing Line Lender from the Borrower (or any other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a
Swing Line Loan after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be remitted promptly to the Administrative Agent; and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be remitted promptly
by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swing Line Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid
to the Swing Line Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swing Line Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall
not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof otherwise expressly provided herein. 
 (d) At any time after any Revolving
Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if a Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, such Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its Pro Rata
Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by such Swing Line Lender. If any payment received by a Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned to the Borrower by such Swing Line
Lender under any circumstances (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to such Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata Percentage thereof on demand of the
Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of a
Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 

  
 42 







 SECTION 2.23 Letters of Credit. (a) General. The Borrower may request the
issuance of a Letter of Credit for its own account in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time on or prior to the date immediately preceding the termination of the
L/C Commitment in accordance with Section 2.09(a). This Section shall not be construed to impose an obligation upon any Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit that is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.23 or elsewhere in this Agreement, in the event that a Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue or extend any Letter
of Credit, as applicable, unless any Fronting Exposure in respect thereof, after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit, may be reallocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with Section 2.21(a)(iv), or, if such
reallocation is not available in accordance with such Section, each Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it, in its sole discretion, to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s, as applicable, risk with respect to the participation
in Letters of Credit by all such Defaulting Lenders, which may include by cash collateralizing (in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount) each such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each Letter of Credit issued or
outstanding while such Defaulting Lender remains a Defaulting Lender. 
 (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension;
Certain Conditions. (i) In order to request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or to amend, renew or extend an existing Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or fax to the applicable Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent (not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to
the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) below), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, the
documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder, the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder, the nature of the proposed amendment (in the case of an
amendment), any Letter of Credit application form required by the applicable Issuing Bank and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare such Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if,
and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (x) the Aggregate Revolving Credit
Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and (y) the aggregate face amount of Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank shall not exceed such Issuing Bank’s L/C Commitment or the aggregate amount of the L/C
Commitments of all Issuing Banks. 
 (ii) As of the Closing Date, the aggregate amount of the L/C Commitments of all Issuing
Banks is $10,000,000. 
 (iii) No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: 

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain
such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall
prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or
capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not 

  
 43 







 
otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and
which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; 
 (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any
laws or one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally; 
 (C) except as otherwise
agreed by the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $10,000; 

(D) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; or 

(E) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing
thereunder. 
 (iv) No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to amend or extend any Letter of Credit if (A) such
Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment thereto. 

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at the close of business on the
earlier of the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date, unless such Letter of Credit expires by its terms on an earlier date;
provided, however, that a Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional
consecutive periods of 12 months or less (but not beyond the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date) unless the applicable Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least 30 days (or such longer period as may
be specified in such Letter of Credit and as agreed by the Issuing Bank) prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed. 

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit and without any further action on the part of the applicable
Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each such Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of
the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower (or, if applicable, another party
pursuant to its obligations under any other Loan Document) forthwith on the date due as provided in Section 2.02(f). Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this
paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made
without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 
 (e) Reimbursement.
If any Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately
following Business Day after the Borrower shall have received notice from such Issuing Bank that payment of such draft will be made. 

  
 44 







 (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s
obligations to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all
circumstances whatsoever, and irrespective of: 
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of
Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein; 
 (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure
from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document; 
 (iii) the existence of any claim, setoff,
defense or other right that the Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Borrower, any subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit,
the applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction; 

(iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient
in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 
 (v) payment by the applicable Issuing
Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and 

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the applicable Issuing Bank, the Lenders, the Administrative
Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations
hereunder. 
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that the absolute and unconditional
obligation of the Borrower hereunder to reimburse L/C Disbursements will not be excused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the applicable Issuing Bank. However, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such Issuing Bank from
liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are determined
in a final, non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit
comply with the terms thereof. It is further understood and agreed that the applicable Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (i) such Issuing Bank’s exclusive reliance on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all
matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented
pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be
forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, and (ii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in
each case, be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank. 

  
 45 







 (g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable
Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall as promptly as possible give telephonic notification, confirmed by fax,
to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make a L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such
notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement. 

(h) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit issued
by such Issuing Bank, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on such date, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest for the account of such Issuing Bank, for each day from and including the date of such L/C
Disbursement, to but excluding the earlier of the date of payment by the Borrower or the date on which interest shall commence to accrue thereon as provided in Section 2.02(f), at the rate per annum that would apply to such amount if
such amount were an ABR Revolving Loan. 
 (i) Resignation or Removal of an Issuing Bank. Any
Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Borrower, and may be removed at any time by the Borrower by notice to such Issuing Bank, the
Administrative Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder by a Lender that shall agree to serve as a successor Issuing Bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all
the interests, rights and obligations of such retiring Issuing Bank (other than with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such retiring Issuing Bank). At the time such removal or resignation shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all
accrued and unpaid fees due to such Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(ii). The acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder by a successor Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in
a form satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such successor Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of such previous Issuing Bank under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents other than with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such retiring Issuing Bank and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such
successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or removal of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and
shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or removal, but shall not be required to issue
additional Letters of Credit. 
 (j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of
Default shall occur and be continuing, the Borrower shall, on the Business Day it receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders thereof and of the amount to be deposited, deposit in an account with the Collateral Agent, for
the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 105% of L/C Exposure as of such date; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash will become effective immediately, and such deposit
will become immediately payable in immediately available funds, without demand or notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in paragraphs (g) or (h) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be
held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest
earned on the investment of such deposits  

  
 46 







 
in Permitted Investments, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such
investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall (i) automatically be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed,
(ii) be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the L/C Exposure at such time and (iii) if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy the Obligations. If the Borrower is
required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all
Events of Default have been cured or waived. 
 (k) Additional Issuing Banks. The Borrower
may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of
this Agreement, subject to reporting requirements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with respect to issuances, amendments, extensions and terminations of Letters of Credit by such additional issuing bank. Any Lender designated as
an issuing bank pursuant to this paragraph (k) shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Bank” (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of
Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to such Issuing Bank and such Lender. Upon the appointment of an additional Issuing Bank, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks may amend this Agreement without the consent of any other
party hereto to change the L/C Commitments of the Issuing Banks. 
 SECTION 2.24 Incremental Facilities.
(a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request Incremental Loan Commitments in an amount not to exceed, together with all Incremental Loan Commitments provided to the Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.24 (whether or not utilized), the Incremental Loan Amount from one or more Incremental Lenders, all of which must be Eligible Assignees. Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Loan Commitments being
requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $2,500,000 and a minimum amount of $10,000,000 or such lesser amount equal to the remaining Incremental Loan Amount, as applicable, or such other amounts as the Administrative Agent may agree to)
and (ii) the date (an “Increased Amount Date”) on which such Incremental Loan Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of
such notice (or such other number of days as the Administrative Agent may agree to)). 
 (b) The Borrower may seek Incremental
Loan Commitments from existing Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion) and additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders (all of which must be Eligible Assignees
consented to by the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Banks (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (any such additional bank, financial institution or other institutional lender, an “Additional Lender”),
who will become Incremental Lenders in connection therewith. The Borrower and each Incremental Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative
Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Loan Commitment of each Incremental Lender or Additional Lender. The terms and provisions of the Incremental Loans shall be identical to those of the Revolving Loans. All Incremental Loan
Commitments shall be documented solely as an increase to the Revolving Credit Commitments and all Incremental Loans shall be identical to all Revolving Loans, other than in respect of any arrangement, commitment or upfront fees payable to any
Incremental Lenders or any arranger appointed in connection therewith in connection with such increase to the Revolving Credit Commitments on or prior to the Increased Amount Date in respect thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement. Each of the  

  
 47 







 
parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to
reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Loan Commitments and the Incremental Loans evidenced thereby, and the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may revise this Agreement to evidence such amendments. 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Loan Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.24 unless, on the
date of such effectiveness, (i) the conditions set forth in Sections 4.01(b), 4.01(c) and 4.01(d) shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and
executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower, (ii) the Borrower would be in Financial Covenant Compliance, (iii) except as otherwise specified in the applicable Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have
received (with sufficient copies for each of the Incremental Lenders) legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under
Section 4.02, (iv) the Administrative Agent and each applicable Lender shall have received all fees and expenses owed in respect of such Incremental Loan Commitments and (v) the terms and documentation in respect of such
Incremental Loan Commitments, to the extent not consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower, take any and all action as
may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Loans, when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis. This may be accomplished by requiring each outstanding Eurodollar Borrowing to
be converted into an ABR Borrowing on the date of each Incremental Loan. Any conversion of Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans required by the preceding sentence shall be subject to Section 2.15. 

(e) On any Increased Amount Date on which Incremental Loan Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and
conditions, (i) each of the existing Revolving Credit Lenders shall assign to each of the Incremental Lenders, and each of the Incremental Lenders shall purchase from each of the existing Revolving Credit Lenders, at the principal amount
thereof, such interests in the outstanding Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date that will result in, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such
Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans being held by existing Revolving Credit Lenders and Incremental Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to the addition of
such Incremental Loan Commitments to the Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii) each Incremental Loan Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Credit Commitment and each Loan made thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes, a
Revolving Loan and have the same terms as any existing Revolving Loan, and (iii) each Incremental Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments and all matters relating thereto. 

(f) The proceeds of any Incremental Loans shall be used for the purposes specified in the introductory statement to this Agreement, to the
extent permitted under the Agreement. 
 SECTION 2.25 Extension Amendments. (a) The Borrower may at any time and from
time to time request that all or a portion of any of the Commitments or the Loans (including any Extended Revolving Loans), existing at the time of such request (any such Commitment, an “Existing Commitment”, and any such
existing outstanding Loans, the “Existing Loans”) be converted to extend, in the case of Commitments, the termination date thereof and, in the case of Loans, the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with
respect to all or a portion thereof (any such Existing 

  
 48 







 
Commitment which has been so extended, an “Extended Commitment”, and any such Existing Loan whose scheduled maturity date(s) has or have been so extended, an
“Extended Revolving Loan”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.25. In order to establish any Extended Commitment, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who
shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Commitment) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Commitment to be established, which terms (other than
as provided in clause (c) below) shall be identical to those applicable to the Existing Commitment from which they are to be extended (the “Specified Existing Commitment”) except (x) all or any of the final
maturity/termination dates of such Extended Commitment may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity/termination dates of the Specified Existing Commitment, (y) (A) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Commitment may
be higher or lower than the interest margins for the Specified Existing Commitment and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Commitment in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by
the preceding clause (A) and (z) the commitment fee, if any, with respect to the Extended Commitment may be higher or lower than the commitment fee, if any, for the Specified Existing Commitment, in each case to the extent provided
in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.25 or otherwise, (1) no Extended Commitment shall be secured by or receive the
benefit of any collateral, credit support or security that does not secure or support the Existing Commitments, (2) the final maturity of any Extended Revolving Loan shall not be earlier than any Loan made under the applicable Specified
Existing Commitment in respect thereof, (3) each Lender in the Specified Existing Commitment shall be permitted to participate in the Extended Commitment in accordance with its pro rata share of the Specified Existing Commitment,
(4) assignments and participations of Extended Commitments shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Loans and Commitments hereunder as set forth in Section 9.04 and (5) the repayment
(other than in connection with a permanent voluntary prepayment) and the mandatory prepayment of any Extended Revolving Loans shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other outstanding Revolving Loans (other than at the maturity of any Revolving
Loan Commitments that have not been extended, at which point the maturing Revolving Loans associated therewith may be repaid without making a pro rata payment of any non-maturing Revolving Loans). No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have
any of its Existing Loans or, if applicable, commitments of any Existing Commitment converted into an Extended Commitment pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Extended Commitment shall constitute a separate commitment of Loans from the Specified
Existing Commitments and from any other Existing Commitments (together with any other Extended Commitments so established on such date). 

(b) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which
Lenders under the applicable Existing Commitments or Existing Commitments are requested to respond. Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Specified Existing Commitment converted into an
Extended Commitment shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Specified Existing Commitment that it has elected to convert
into an Extended Commitment. In the event that the aggregate amount of the Specified Existing Commitment subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Commitments requested pursuant to the Extension Request, the Specified Existing
Commitment subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Commitments on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Specified Existing Commitments included in each such Extension Election.  

(c) Extended Commitments and Extended Revolving Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension
Amendment”) to this Agreement (which may include amendments to provisions related to maturity, interest margins, fees or prepayments referenced in Section 2.25(a) and which, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
in Section 9.08, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Commitments established  

  
 49 







 
thereby) executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders. No Extension Amendment shall provide for any tranche of Extended Commitments or tranche of Extended
Revolving Loans in an aggregate principal amount that is less than $50,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof; provided, further, that no Extension Amendment may provide for any Extended Commitment or Extended
Revolving Loans to be secured by any Collateral that does not also secure the Existing Commitments or Existing Loans. It is understood and agreed that each Lender has consented for all purposes requiring its consent, and shall at the effective time
thereof be deemed to consent to each amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents authorized by this Section 2.25 and the arrangements described above in connection therewith. In connection with any Extension Amendment, the
Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as to the enforceability of such Extension Amendment, this Agreement as amended thereby, the security interests in respect of the Extended Revolving Loans
and Extended Commitments and such of the other Loan Documents (if any) as may be amended thereby and that the existing security interest of the Collateral Agent shall not be adversely affected thereby. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) on any date on which any Existing Commitment
is converted to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with clause (a) above (an “Extension Date”), in the case of the Specified Existing Commitment of each Extending Lender, the aggregate
principal amount of such Specified Existing Commitment shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Commitment so converted by such Lender on such date, and such Extended Commitments shall be established
as a separate Commitment from the Specified Existing Commitment and from any other Existing Commitments (together with any other Extended Commitment so established on such date) and (B) if, on any Extension Date, any Revolving Loans of any
Extending Lender are outstanding under the applicable Specified Existing Commitments, such loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed to be allocated as Existing Loans (and related participations) and Extended Revolving Loans (and
related participations) in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s applicable Specified Existing Commitments bear to the applicable Extended Commitments so converted by such Lender on such date. 

(e) If, in connection with any proposed Extension Amendment, any Lender declines to consent to the applicable extension on the
terms and by the deadline set forth in the applicable Extension Request (each such Lender, a “Non-Extending Lender”) then the Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent and such Non-Extending Lender,
(i) replace such Non-Extending Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 9.04 (with the assignment fee and any other costs and expenses to be paid by the Borrower in such
instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided, that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to obtain a
replacement Lender; provided, further, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to provide Loans and/or a commitment on the terms set forth in such Extension Amendment; and
provided, further, that all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full at par by the
assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Acceptance or (ii) prepay the Loans and, at the Borrower’s option, if applicable, terminate the Commitments of such Non-Extending Lender, in whole or in
part, subject to Section 2.20, without premium or penalty. In connection with any such replacement under this Section 2.25, if a Non-Extending Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed
Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of (x) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and
(y) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Extending Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full in cash by the assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender, then such
Non-Extending Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance  

  
 50 







 
and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on
behalf of such Non-Extending Lender. 
 (f) This Section 2.25 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.16 or
Section 2.17 to the contrary.

 SECTION 3.05 Financial Statements. (a) The Borrower has heretofore furnished
to the Lenders the unqualified audited consolidated financial statements of TEP for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. Such financial statements present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition and results of

Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent other than Liens that have priority by operation of law. 
 SECTION 3.08 Subsidiaries.
Schedule 3.08 sets forth as of the Closing Date a list of all subsidiaries of the Borrower and all other Persons in which the Borrower holds an Equity Interest and the percentage ownership interest of the Borrower therein. The shares of

as of the Closing Date, are owned by the Borrower, directly or indirectly, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens). 

SECTION 3.09 Litigation; Compliance with Laws. 

(a) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.09, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity or by or before any
Governmental Authority now pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or TEP GP or any business, property or rights of any such Person (i) that involve any Loan Document or the Transactions or
(ii) in each case as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 52 







 (b) Neither the Borrower nor TEP GP or any of their respective material properties or assets is
(i) in violation of, nor will the continued operation of their material properties and assets as currently conducted violate, any law, rule or regulation (other than those covered by Sections 3.11, 3.12, 3.14, 3.16,
3.17, 3.23, 3.25 or 3.27, which laws, rules and regulations are addressed in those Sections) or (ii) is in default with respect to any judgment, writ, injunction, decree or order of any Governmental Authority
(including without limitation the USA PATRIOT Act), where such violation or default could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

SECTION 3.10 No Default. Neither the Borrower nor TEP GP is in default in any manner under any provision of any indenture or
other agreement, instrument or other evidence of Material Indebtedness, or any other material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets are or may be bound, in each case where such default could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

the Borrower nor TEP GP is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of buying or carrying Margin Stock. 

(b) No part of the proceeds of any Loan or any Letter of Credit will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately,
incidentally or ultimately, for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulation T, U or X.

SECTION 3.14 Taxes. Each of the Borrower and TEP GP has filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state, local and foreign Tax
returns or materials required to have been filed by it and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes due and payable by it (whether or not shown on any Tax return) and all assessments received by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and diligently conducted that operate to suspend the collection of such contested Tax and for which the Borrower or TEP GP, as applicable, shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves
in accordance with GAAP or (b) in each case, to the extent the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or the imposition of a material Lien on any Collateral. There is no proposed written Tax
assessment against the Borrower or TEP GP that would, if made, have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.15 No Material
Misstatements. None of (a) the Projections or (b) any other information, report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the
negotiation of any Loan Document or included therein or delivered pursuant thereto, when furnished and taken as a whole, contained, contains or will contain any material misstatement of fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state any material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were, are or will be made, not materially misleading; provided that to the extent any such information, report, financial statement, exhibit or
schedule was based upon or constitutes a forecast or projection, the Borrower represents only that it acted in good faith and utilized reasonable assumptions (based upon accounting principles consistent with the historical audited financial
statements of TEP) and due care in the preparation of such information, report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule (it being understood that projections are not a guaranty of future performance and that actual results during the period or
periods covered by projections may materially differ from the projected results therein).

Liability that would be a liability of the Borrower following the Closing Date. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur,
could reasonably be expected to result in liability of the Borrower in an aggregate amount exceeding $1,500,000.

there has been no Release on, at or under any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, except as would not reasonably be expected to result in material Environmental Liability to the Borrower. 

(b) Except as set forth in Schedule 3.17 or as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect,
(i) neither the Borrower nor any of its subsidiaries is undertaking, and has not completed, either individually or together with other potentially responsible parties, any investigation or assessment or remedial or response action relating to
any actual or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials or natural gas at, on or under any site, location or operation, either voluntarily or pursuant to the order of any Governmental Authority or the requirements of any Environmental Law; and

either currently managed or have been disposed of in compliance with Environmental Laws. 
 (c) As of the Closing Date, and at any time

 54 







 SECTION 3.19 Security Documents. The Security Agreement, upon execution and
delivery thereof by the Borrower, will create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) and the proceeds
thereof and (i) when Collateral that is certificated is delivered to the Collateral Agent, the Lien created under the Security Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected first priority Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and
interest of the Borrower in such Collateral, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, and (ii) when financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 3.19, the Lien created under
the Security Agreement will constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Borrower in such Collateral to the extent such Liens can be perfected by filing a financing statement, under the Uniform
Commercial Code, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person other than with respect to Permitted Liens. 
 SECTION 3.20
Reserved.

Closing Date and immediately following the making of each Loan and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of each Loan, the Borrower and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are Solvent. 

SECTION 3.22 Related Documents. The Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a complete and correct copy of each
Related Document (including all schedules, exhibits, amendments, supplements and modifications thereto). Neither TEGP, the Borrower nor any of its subsidiaries is in default in the performance of or compliance with any material provisions of

to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other individual or entity, to fund any activities of or business with any individual or entity, or in any Sanctioned Country, that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of Sanctions, or in any
other manner that will result in a violation by an individual or entity (including any individual or entity participating in the transaction) of Sanctions. 

SECTION 3.24 Regulatory Status. (a) As of the Closing Date, neither the Borrower nor TEP GP, nor any assets of the Borrower
or TEP GP are regulated as a “holding company,” public utility or an intrastate pipeline by any state Governmental Authority, or are subject to any state regulatory jurisdiction by a state public utility commission or similar entity. 

(b) None of the Lenders will, solely as a result of entering into any Loan Document or the consummation and/or performance of the

state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters. All material payments due from the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, or for which any claim may be made against the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries on account of wages or employee
health and welfare insurance or other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower or such subsidiary. The consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of

giving of notice, the lapse of time or both) the holder or holders of any Material Indebtedness or any trustee or agent on its or their behalf to cause any Material Indebtedness to become due, or to require the prepayment, repurchase, redemption or
defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity; provided that this clause (ii) shall not apply to secured Indebtedness that becomes due as a result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such
Indebtedness or a casualty event or condemnation in relation thereto; 
 (g) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary
petition shall be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction seeking (i) relief in respect of the Borrower or TEP GP, or of a substantial part of the property or assets of the Borrower or TEP GP, under Title 11 of the United States Code,
as now constituted or hereafter amended, or any other Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, (ii) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for the
Borrower or TEP GP or for a substantial part of the property or assets of the Borrower or TEP GP or (iii) the winding-up or liquidation of the Borrower or TEP GP; and such proceeding or petition shall continue undismissed for 60 days or an

filed against it in any such proceeding, (v) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (vi) become unable, admit in writing its inability or fail generally to pay its debts as they become due or (vii) take any action for

 (i) one or more judgments shall be rendered against the Borrower or TEP GP and the same shall
remain undischarged for a period of 30 consecutive days during which execution shall not be effectively stayed, or any action shall be legally taken by a judgment creditor to levy upon assets or properties of the Borrower or TEP GP to enforce
any such judgment and such judgment either (i) is for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of $7,500,000 not covered by insurance (it being understood that if an amount in excess of $7,500,000 is to be considered to be covered

of the sale or other disposition of the applicable Collateral in a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents or (ii) as a result of the Collateral Agent’s failure to maintain possession of any stock certificates or other instruments
delivered to it under the Security Agreement; or 
 (m) there shall have occurred a Change in Control. 

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower or TEP GP described in paragraphs (g) or
(h) above), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, take any or all of the following actions, at the same
or different times: terminate forthwith the Commitments and declare the Loans then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued
interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have the right to take all or any actions
and exercise any remedies available under the Loan Documents or applicable law or in equity; and in any event with respect to the Borrower or TEP GP described in paragraphs (g) or (h) above, the Commitments shall

 ARTICLE VIII 

The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent; Etc 

. 
 Each Lender and each Issuing
Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (for purposes of this Article VIII, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the “Agents”) its
agent hereunder and under the Loan Documents and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and the Borrower shall have no rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It
is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, is not intended to connote any
fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between
contracting parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to (i) execute any and all documents (including releases and the Security Agreement) with respect to the Collateral and the rights
of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Agreement and (ii) negotiate, enforce or settle any claim, action or proceeding affecting the Lenders in
their capacity as such, at the direction of the Required Lenders, which negotiation, enforcement or settlement will be binding upon each Lender. 

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral 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 an Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person
serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, 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 of its subsidiaries or other Affiliate thereof (subject to securities law and other requirements of law) as if it were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 

Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and each Agent’s duties
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has
occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or under any Loan Document that such
Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that neither
Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, (i) may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law or (ii) may be in violation of the automatic
stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Agent
shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, TEP or any of their respective subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative
Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent shall 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 such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final non-appealable judgment. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of 

  
 71 







 
Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into
(i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other 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 or Event of Default, (iv) the 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 such Agent. 
 Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, 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) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or
otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.
In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or any Issuing Bank, each
Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Bank unless such Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the
issuance, extension, renewal or increase of such Letter of Credit. Each 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. 
 Each Agent may perform any and all of
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 it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective
activities in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities as well as activities as Agent. Neither Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction
determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. 

Either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required
Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor which shall be any financial institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such financial institution, that has a combined capital and
surplus and undivided profits of not less than $500,000,000. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation,
then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a financial institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such financial institution. If no successor
Agent has been appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence by the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by such Agent, such Agent’s resignation shall become effective (and such Agent shall be discharged from
its duties and obligations hereunder) and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative
Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may be. Any such resignation by such Agent hereunder shall also constitute, to the extent applicable, its resignation as a 

  
 72 







 
Swing Line Lender and as an Issuing Bank, in which case such resigning Agent (x) shall not be required to extend any further Swing Line Loans or issue any further Letters of Credit hereunder
and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it or Swing Line Loans extended by it, as applicable, prior to the date of such resignation. Upon the acceptance of
its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an
Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 acting as Agent. 
 Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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 and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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 or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, each of the Arranger, the Syndication Agent
and the Documentation Agent is named as such for recognition purposes only, and in their respective capacities as such shall have no duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; it being
understood and agreed that each of the Arranger, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Agents provided herein and in the other Loan Documents, including
under Section 9.05 hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, none of the Arranger, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent in their respective capacities as such shall, by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender, the Borrower or any other Person. 
 In case of the pendency of any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, each Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether such Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (a) to file and prove a claim for
the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders,
the Issuing Banks and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and Agents under
Section 9.05) allowed in such judicial proceeding and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same and, in either case, any custodian, receiver,
assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each other Secured Party to make such payments to such Agent and, in the event that such
Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to pay to such Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Agent and its agents and counsel, and
any other amounts due such Agent under Section 9.05. 

  
 73 







 The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its
discretion, to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (x) upon termination of all Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent reimbursement and
indemnification obligations to the extent no unsatisfied claim with respect thereto has been asserted), the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit that have been cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory
to the applicable Issuing Bank or as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank have been made) and the termination of (and making of all payments due by the Borrower) all Secured Hedging Agreements (or the making of
other arrangements reasonably acceptable to the applicable Qualified Counterparty), (y) that is sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Loan Documents, in each case
pursuant to an arm’s-length transaction permitted pursuant to Section 6.07(i) or (x) or to a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Borrower, or (z) subject to Section 9.08, if approved, authorized or
ratified in writing by the Required Lenders or all Lenders (as applicable). Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular
types or items of property pursuant to this paragraph. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral,
the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by the Borrower in connection therewith, nor shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor
or maintain any portion of the Collateral. 
 To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any
payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but
only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to
comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in
connection with any Loan Document and for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax, or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal
costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the IRS or such other Governmental Authority. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all
amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Article VIII.

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when
received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for
the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications, to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph. 

Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and
Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has notified the Administrative
Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article II by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic
communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other
communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other
written acknowledgement) and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of

(including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notices may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address. 

Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower. 
 The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to,
make the Communications available to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). The
Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and their respective Related Parties do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or
omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses
or other code defects, 

  
 75 







 
is made by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any of their respective Related Parties in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative
Agent or the Collateral Agent or any of their respective Related Parties have any liability to TEGP, the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or
indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of TEGP’s, the Borrower’s, any subsidiary’s or the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral
Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material that TEGP, the Borrower or any of its
subsidiaries provides to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or to any Lender or Issuing
Bank by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section 9.01, including through the Platform. 
 The Borrower hereby
acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower
Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on the Platform and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive Material Non-Public Information with respect to
TEGP, the Borrower, its subsidiaries or any of their securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and
conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to
have authorized the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Lenders and Issuing Banks to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any Material Non-Public Information with respect to TEGP, the Borrower, its subsidiaries or any of their
securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.16);
(y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be
entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower
Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains Material Non-Public Information: (1) the Loan Documents and (2) notification of changes in the
terms of the Loan Documents. 
 Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all
times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance
procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain
Material Non-Public Information with respect to TEGP, the Borrower, its subsidiaries or any of their securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws. 

The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall
constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been
posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to
time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address. 

  
 76 







 Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any
Issuing Bank or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document. 

SECTION 9.02 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in
the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks and shall survive
the making by the Lenders of the Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit by the Issuing Banks, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or the Issuing Banks or on their behalf, 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 or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding (unless arrangements satisfactory to the
applicable Issuing Bank shall have been made with respect to such Letter of Credit) and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.13, 2.15, 2.19, 9.05 and Article VIII shall
remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration
of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing
Bank. 
 SECTION 9.03 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. 

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 (x) the Borrower may not delegate, assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights, duties or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
each Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender and any such attempted transfer or assignment without such consent shall be null and void and (y) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except
(i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (f) of this
Section 9.04 or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the provisions of paragraph (h) of this Section 9.04. Nothing in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, expressed or
implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, the Indemnitees, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (f) of this
Section 9.04 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy, obligation, liability
or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 

  
 77 







 (b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees 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 any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 

(i) (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans
at the time owing to it (in each case with respect to any Class) or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section 9.04 in the aggregate or in
the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned and (B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section 9.04,
the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan 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, shall not be less than $5,000,000 (or lesser amounts if agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent); 
 (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, each of the
Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and, so long as no Event of Default in respect of paragraphs (b), (c), (g) or (h) of Article VII has occurred and is
continuing, the Borrower shall have consented to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless the Borrower shall
object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof); 

(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 with respect to the Commitment and/or Loans assigned; 
 (iv) the prior consent of each
Swing Line Lender and Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for all assignments; 

(v) the parties to each assignment shall either (A) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and
Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (B) if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, in the case
of clauses (A) and (B), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive or reduce such processing and recordation fee in the case
of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire (in which the assignee shall designate one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may
contain Material Non-Public Information about TEGP, the Borrower, its subsidiaries or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and
applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws) and all applicable tax forms; 
 (vi) no such assignment shall
be made (A) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or their subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its subsidiaries, or to any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the
foregoing Persons described in this clause (B); 
 (vii) no such assignment shall be made to a natural Person; and


  
 78 







 (viii) in connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any
Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an
aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full
all payment liabilities (and accrued interest thereon) then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each other Lender hereunder and the Borrower and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata
share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Pro Rata Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become
effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 9.04, from and after
the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement 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 2.13, 2.15, 2.19 and
9.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph
(b) of this Section 9.04 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 (f) of this
Section 9.04. 
 (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee
thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear
of any adverse claim and that its Revolving Credit Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Revolving Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and
Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in clause (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection
with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the
Borrower or any subsidiary thereof or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee
represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent
financial statements referred to in Section 3.05(a) or delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such
Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning 

  
 79 







 
Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by
the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for
this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (such agency being solely for Tax purposes), shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of 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 the Loans owing to (and stated interest thereon), 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, the Issuing Banks, the Collateral 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, any Issuing Bank, the Collateral
Agent and any Lender (solely with respect to any entry related to such Lender’s Loans and Commitments, and only at the office of the Administrative Agent), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 (e) Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an
assignee, an administrative questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and the
written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if required, the Borrower and each Issuing Bank and each Swing Line Lender to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the
information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e). 

(f) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, any Issuing Bank, any other Lender, the Collateral Agent
or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or an Affiliate or subsidiary of the Borrower) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s
rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender
shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender
in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.05(c) regardless of the sale by it of any participations.
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 obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans or L/C Disbursements and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; 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
decreasing any fees payable to such Participant or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such Participant has an interest, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the
payment of interest on the Loans in which such Participant has an interest, increasing or extending the Commitments in which such Participant has an interest or releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral. The Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be 

  
 80 







 
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.15 and 2.19 (subject to the requirements and limitations set forth therein, including the requirements under
Section 2.19(e) (it being understood that the documentation under Section 2.19(e) 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 9.04; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.20 as if it were an assignee under
paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04 and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.13, 2.15 or 2.19, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender
would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation or unless the sale of the participation to
such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender;
provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of
the Borrower (such agency being solely for tax purposes), maintain at one or more of its offices 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 rights or obligations under the Loan Documents (each such register, a “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose
all or any portion of any Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Loans or other rights or obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the
extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other right or obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. The entries in a Participant Register shall be conclusive absent
manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in a Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. 

(g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this
Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower or its subsidiaries furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or its subsidiaries;
provided that, prior to any such disclosure of Information or other information designated by the Borrower as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee
or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.16. 

(h) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign or grant 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 any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release
such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may
grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part
of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any
Loan and (ii) if a SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by a SPV hereunder
shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting  

  
 81 







 
Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting
Lender). The Borrower agrees that each SPV shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.15 and 2.19 (subject to the requirements and limitations set forth therein, including the requirements under
Section 2.19(e)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.04(b); provided that such SPV (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of
Section 2.20 as if it were an assignee under Section 9.04(b) and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.13, 2.15 and 2.19 than its Granting Lender would have been
entitled to receive, unless the grant of such option to such SPV is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this
Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against,
such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any Debtor Relief Law. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPV may (i) with
notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial
institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any
non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV. 

SECTION 9.05 Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arranger, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, each Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Bank in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities and the preparation, negotiation,
execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the Transactions hereby or thereby contemplated
shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Swing Line Lender or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including the fees, charges and disbursements of Bracewell & Giuliani LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, an
additional local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction, one specialist counsel for each applicable specialty and additional conflict counsel for each such affected Lenders or Agents or groups of affected Lenders or Agents, as applicable, in the
event of any actual or perceived conflict of interest, and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank, any
Swing Line Lender or any Lender. 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Arranger, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Swing Line Lender, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person, an “Indemnitee”) against, and to
hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, Taxes and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way
connected with or as a result of (i) the Credit Facilities, the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective
obligations thereunder and, in their capacities hereunder or in connection with or related to this  

  
 82 







 
Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions contemplated thereby (including the syndication of the Credit Facilities), (ii) the use of the proceeds or the proposed use of proceeds of the
Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third
party or by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates), or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower, TEP or any of their respective subsidiaries,
or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower, TEP or any of their respective subsidiaries; provided that the indemnity under this Section 9.05(b) shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

 (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swing Line Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Swing Line Lender,
as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (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, the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a
Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure and unused Commitments at the time (in each case, determined as if no Lender were a Defaulting Lender).

 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, 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 Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (e) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall
remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of
Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank. All amounts
due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor. 
 SECTION 9.06 Right of Setoff. If an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each of their respective Affiliates who is owed Obligations is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to
set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Person 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 and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such
deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further
application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.21 and, 

  
 83 







 
pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders and (y) the
Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing
Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and
each Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 

SECTION 9.07 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION
(WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND
THEREBY (OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH LETTER OF CREDIT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OR RULES DESIGNATED IN SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT, OR IF NO SUCH LAWS OR RULES ARE DESIGNATED, THE RULES OF THE “INTERNATIONAL STANDBY PRACTICES 1998” PUBLISHED BY THE INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL BANKING
LAW & PRACTICE (OR SUCH LATER VERSION THEREOF AS MAY BE IN EFFECT AT THE TIME OF ISSUANCE) SHALL APPLY TO SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT. 

SECTION 9.08 Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or
any Issuing Bank in exercising any power or right 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, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that such parties would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or
demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 

(b) Neither this Agreement, 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, as applicable, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent upon the direction of the Required Lenders); provided,
however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest or fees on any Loan or any date for reimbursement
of a L/C Disbursement, or forgive, waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest (other than the Default Rate) or fees on any Loan or L/C Disbursement, without the prior written consent of each Lender
directly adversely affected thereby (for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that only the consent of the Borrower and the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive, amend or modify (A) any mandatory prepayment requirement prior to a
prepayment becoming due and payable in  

  
 84 







 
accordance with the terms hereof or (B) any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such waiver, amendment or modification would be to reduce
the rate of interest on any Loan, Letter of Credit or L/C Disbursement or to reduce any fee payable hereunder, in each case, to the extent such interest or fees is not yet accrued, due and payable), (ii) increase or extend the Commitment
or decrease the amount of or extend the date for payment of any Fees or fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the pro rata requirements of Section 2.16 or
Section 2.17, the provisions of clause (x) of the first sentence of Section 9.04(a) or the provisions of this Section 9.08, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) change the
provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of one Class differently from the rights of Lenders holding Loans of any other Class without the prior
written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each adversely affected Class, (v) modify the protections afforded to a SPV pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.04(i)
without the written consent of such SPV, (vi) reduce the percentage contained in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood that with the consent of the Required
Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments on the Closing Date) or amend or modify any other provision hereof
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 prior written consent of each Lender, (vii) amend or modify the
definition of “Pro Rata Percentage” without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (it being understood that any change in the Pro Rata Percentages of the Revolving Credit Lenders resulting from an increase in
Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.24 shall be permitted pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.24), (viii) impose any additional restrictions on any Lender’s ability to assign any of its
rights or obligations hereunder (including any amendment to Section 9.04) without the prior written consent of the Lenders adversely affected thereby or (ix) release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or
series of related transactions, other than in a transaction permitted hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall
have any right to consent to any such amendment, modification or waiver, other than any such amendment, modification or waiver which affects the rights or obligations of a Defaulting Lender differently than the rights or obligations of the other
Lenders or increases or extends the Commitment of, or forgives or decreases the principal amount of, or extends the maturity of any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan of, such Defaulting Lender;
provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Swing Line Lender or any Issuing Bank hereunder or under any other Loan
Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Swing Line Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable. 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend any Loan Document to correct administrative
errors or omissions, or to effect administrative changes that are not adverse to any Lender, (ii) the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Swing Line Lenders and the Issuing Banks may amend this Agreement in accordance with Sections
2.23(k) and 2.25 and (iii) the Fee Letters may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any such amendments
shall become effective without any further consent of any other party to such Loan Document. 
 SECTION 9.09 Interest
Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or participation in any L/C Disbursement, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as
interest on such Loan or participation in such L/C

Disbursement under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted
for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in
respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this
Section 9.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together
with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. 
 SECTION 9.10
Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or
written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement
or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that
issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees and the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any rights, remedies, obligations or
liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 9.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY
HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY 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 OR 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 PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT
SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11. 
 SECTION 9.12 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein 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 valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 

SECTION 9.13 Counterparts. 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, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this
Agreement by facsimile transmission or in other electronic (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,”
“signature” and words of like import in 

  
 86 







 
any Loan Documents or any Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect,
validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

SECTION 9.14 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only,
are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

SECTION 9.15 Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits,
for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or the Federal court of the Southern District of New York, in each case located in the Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment (except to the extent the Collateral Agent requires submission to any other jurisdiction in connection
with the exercise of any rights under the Security Agreement or the 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 shall 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, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may
otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

(b) 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 New York State or Federal court referred to in paragraph
(a) of this Section 9.15. 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 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 

SECTION 9.16 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees
to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, controlling persons and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other
advisors, including any numbering, administration or settlement service providers (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, self-regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), including audits or examinations
conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) in connection
with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions 

  
 87 







 
substantially the same as those of this Section 9.16 or in accordance with standard syndication processes or customary market standards for dissemination of such Information, which
shall in any event require “click through” or other affirmative actions on the part of the recipient to access such information, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or its obligations or (iii) any other Lender, Agent or Affiliate of
a Lender or Agent, (f) to rating agencies, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) to the extent such Information is independently developed by such Person or (i) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available or is
received by such Person from a third party other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.16. “Information” shall mean all information received from the Borrower and related to the Borrower or its
subsidiaries or their respective businesses, other than any such information that was available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Borrower;
provided that, in the case of Information received from the Borrower after the Closing Date, such information shall be deemed confidential unless marked “PUBLIC” in accordance with Section 9.01. Any Person required to
maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.16 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 its own confidential information. 
 SECTION 9.17 Lender Action. Each Lender agrees
that it shall not take or institute any action or proceeding, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against the Borrower under any Loan Document (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or
similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of the Borrower, unless expressly provided for herein or in any
other Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section 9.17 are for the sole benefit of the Agents and the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense
available to, the Borrower. 
 SECTION 9.18 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and
not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address
of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. 

SECTION 9.19 No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Lender and their
Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower and its subsidiaries, equityholders and/or Affiliates. The Borrower hereby agrees
that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and TEGP, the Borrower and its subsidiaries, equityholders
or Affiliates, on the other. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial
transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the
Borrower, its equityholders and/or Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is
currently advising or will advise the Borrower, its equityholders or Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as
principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower or its 

  
 88 







 
management, equityholders, creditors or any other Person, (iii) it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate and it is responsible for making its
own independent judgment with respect to the Transactions and the process leading thereto and (iv) it will not claim that any Arranger, Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent, Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender has rendered advisory services of any
nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to it in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto, and agrees that each Arranger, Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent, Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender shall have no
liability (whether direct or indirect) in respect of such a claim or to any other Person asserting such a claim on their behalf. 
 SECTION
9.20 Affiliate Activities. The Borrower acknowledges that each of the Agents and the Arranger (and their respective Affiliates) is a full service securities firm engaged, either directly or through Affiliates, in various activities,
including securities trading, investment banking and financial advisory, investment management, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities and financial planning and benefits counseling for both companies and individuals. In
the ordinary course of these activities, each of the Agents and the Arranger (and their respective Affiliates) may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and/or
financial instruments (including bank loans) for its own account and for the accounts of its customers and may at any time hold long and short positions in such securities and/or instruments. Such investment and other activities may involve
securities and instruments of the Borrower and its subsidiaries and Affiliates, as well as of other entities and Persons and their Affiliates which may (i) be involved in transactions arising from or relating to the Transaction contemplated
hereby and by the other Loan Documents, (ii) be customers or competitors of the Borrower and its Affiliates or (iii) have other relationships with the Borrower and its Affiliates. In addition, such Arranger, Syndication Agent,
Documentation Agent, Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender and their respective subsidiaries and Affiliates may provide investment banking, underwriting and financial advisory services to such other entities and Persons. Such Arranger, Syndication Agent,
Documentation Agent, Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender and their respective subsidiaries and Affiliates may also co-invest with, make direct investments in and invest or co-invest client monies in or with funds or other investment vehicles managed by
other parties, and such funds or other investment vehicles may trade or make investments in securities of the Borrower and its subsidiaries and Affiliates or such other entities. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement and by the other Loan
Documents may have a direct or indirect impact on the investments, securities or instruments referred to in this Section.
