notice, given not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Special L/C Redesignation to the relevant Special L/C Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent. Each such notice of a Special
L/C Redesignation shall be by telephone or in writing or by telecopier (and if by telephone shall be confirmed immediately in writing or by telecopier), specifying therein (x) the number and beneficiary of the Special Letter of Credit to be
redesignated and (y) whether such Special Letter of Credit is at such time designated as a Tranche A Special Letter of Credit or a Tranche B Special Letter of Credit and shall include a certification by the Borrower that (i) such Special
Letter of Credit to be redesignated complies with the provisions of Section 2.19 in respect of the Applicable Special L/C Facility to which it will be redesignated, (ii) all conditions to the issuance of a Special Letter of Credit set
forth in Section 3.02 are satisfied, (iii) such Special L/C Redesignation would not cause the Tranche A Special L/C Exposure or the Tranche B Special L/C Exposure, as applicable, to exceed the aggregate amount of Tranche A Special L/C
Facility or the Tranche B Special L/C Facility, as applicable, (iv) the Special L/C Issuing Bank that issued such Special Letter of Credit is also a Special L/C Issuing Bank under the other Special L/C Facility and has Applicable Unused Special
L/C Issuing Commitments in an amount sufficient to accomodate such Special Letter of Credit under the Applicable Special L/C Facility. If the Borrower’s request for a Special L/C Redesignation complies with the foregoing requirements, then
effective as of the third Business Day following the Borrower’s delivery of such notice (or, if requested by the Borrower, any Business Day thereafter): 
 (i) such redesignated Special Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a Tranche A Special Letter of Credit or a Tranche B Special Letter of
Credit as applicable,

 54 







 (ii) the Unused Special L/C Commitment under the Formerly Designated Tranche shall be
deemed to be increased by the Available Amount of such Special Letter of Credit and the Unused Special L/C Commitment under the Newly Designated Tranche shall be deemed to be decreased by the Available Amount of such Special Letter of Credit (with
the applicable increase and the applicable decrease deemed to occur simultaneously) as if such Special Letter of Credit had originally been issued under the Newly Designated Tranche, 
 (iii) the relevant Special L/C Issuing Bank shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Applicable
Lender under the Newly Designated Tranche, and each Applicable Lender under the Newly Designated Tranche shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from such Special L/C Issuing Bank, a participation in such
redesignated Special Letter of Credit in an amount for each such Applicable Lender equal to such Applicable Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Available Amount of such redesignated Special Letter of Credit, effective (and the original sale of
participations in such redesignated Special Letter of Credit to the Applicable Lenders under the Formerly Designated Tranche (and the corresponding purchase by such Applicable Lenders) shall be deemed to be, for purposes of this Agreement,
terminated), and 
 (iv) all interest, fees, and commissions payable to any Lender with respect to such redesignated Special
Letter of Credit shall cease to accrue for the benefit of the Applicable Lenders under the Formerly Designated Tranche and shall instead accrue for the benefit of the Applicable Lenders under the Newly Designated Tranche. 
 SECTION 2.03. Special Letter of Credit Reports. Each Special L/C Issuing Bank shall furnish (a) to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to
the Borrower) on the first Business Day of each week a written report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Tranche A Special Letters of Credit and Tranche B Special Letters of Credit issued by it during the previous week and drawings during
such week under all Special Letters of Credit and (b) to the Administrative Agent (which shall provide a copy to the Borrower) on the first Business Day of each month a written report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Tranche A
Special Letters of Credit and Tranche B Special Letters of Credit issued by it under the Special L/C Facility, during the preceding month and drawings during such month under all such Special Letters of Credit. 
 SECTION 2.04. Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. (a) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Special Letter of Credit
of any notice of drawing under such Special Letter of Credit, the relevant Special L/C Issuing Bank that issued such Special Letter of Credit shall notify promptly the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 12:00 P.M. (New
York City time) on the third Business Day immediately following the date (each such date, an “Honor Date”) of any payment by any Special L/C Issuing Bank under a Special Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such
Special L/C Issuing Bank through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such

 Special L/C Facility Agreement

drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse any Special L/C Issuing Bank by such time (it being acknowledged and agreed that any such failure shall not be
a Default hereunder), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Applicable Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Applicable
Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Special L/C Borrowing of Base Rate Advances to be disbursed on the fourth Business Day immediately following the Honor Date in an amount not to
exceed the Unreimbursed Amount (without regard, in each case, to the conditions set forth in Section 3.02). Any notice given by a Special L/C Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04(a) may be given by
telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 
 (b) Each Applicable Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.04(a) make funds available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office
to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Special L/C Issuing Bank by deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to such Applicable Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Unreimbursed Amount in
respect of a Special Letter of Credit not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of clause (c), each Applicable Lender that so makes
funds available to such Special L/C Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Advance to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant Special L/C Issuing Bank. If for any reason
any Unreimbursed Amount cannot be refinanced by a Special L/C Borrowing as contemplated by Section 2.04(a), the request for Base Rate Advances submitted by the applicable Special L/C Issuing Bank as set forth in Section 2.04(a) shall be
deemed to be a request by such Special L/C Issuing Bank that each of the Applicable Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Unreimbursed Amount and each Applicable Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
applicable Special L/C Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. 
 (c)
Until each Applicable Lender funds its Special L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.04 to reimburse any Special L/C Issuing Bank for any amount drawn under any Special Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Applicable Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the relevant Special L/C Issuing Bank. 
 (d) Each Lender’s obligation to
make Special L/C Advances to reimburse any Special L/C Issuing Bank for amounts drawn under any Special Letter of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.04, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may against such Special L/C Issuing Bank, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a
Default, or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 
 (e) If any Lender fails
to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Special L/C Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04 by the time specified in Section 

 
 LSP Gen Finance 
 Special L/C Facility Agreement 
  

 56 







 
2.04(b), such Special L/C Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with
interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Special L/C Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in
effect. A certificate of any Special L/C Issuing Bank submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.04(e) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (f) If, at any time after a Special L/C Issuing Bank has made a payment under any Special Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such
Lender’s Special L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with this Section 2.04, the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such Special L/C Issuing Bank any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or
interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower, or otherwise, including proceeds of Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately
adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s Special L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. 
 (g) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any Special L/C Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.04(a) is required to
be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.11 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Special L/C Issuing Bank in its discretion), each Applicable Lender shall pay for the account of its Applicable
Lending Office to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Special L/C Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is
returned by such Applicable Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. 
 SECTION 2.05.
Obligations Absolute. The Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and any other agreement or instrument relating to any Special Letter of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement and such other agreement or instrument under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following: 
 (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, any Special Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (all of the foregoing being, collectively, the “L/C
Related Documents”); 
 (b) any change in time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or
any of the Obligations of the Borrower in respect of any L/C Related Document or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C Related Documents; 
 (c) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any
transferee of a Special Letter of Credit (or any Persons for which any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be

acting), any Special L/C Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated by the L/C Related Documents or any
unrelated transaction; 
 (d) any statement or any other document presented under a Special 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; 
 (e) payment by any Special L/C Issuing Bank under a Special Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft, certificate or other document that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Special Letter of Credit; 
 (f) any exchange, release or non perfection of any Collateral or other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to
departure from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of the Borrower in respect of the L/C Related Documents; or 
 (g) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, the Borrower or a guarantor. 
 The Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Special Letter
of Credit, no Special L/C Issuing Bank shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by any Special Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or
accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Agents, the Lenders, any Special L/C Issuing Bank or any of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, trustees,
employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action
taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Special Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby assumes
all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Special Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights
and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Agents, the Lenders, any Special L/C Issuing Bank or any of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, trustees,
employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (a) through (g) of this Section 2.05; provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Borrower may have a claim against any Special L/C Issuing Bank, and any Special L/C Issuing Bank may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by
the Borrower which were caused by such Special L/C Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Special L/C Issuing Bank’s willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Special Letter of Credit after the
presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of

any Special Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Special L/C 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 the Special L/C Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring
or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Special Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 
 SECTION 2.06. Fees. (a) Special L/C Facility Fees. (i) Except as otherwise provided in clause (ii) below and in Section 2.19,

 (ii) If,
with respect to any Tranche A Special Letter of Credit, a majority of the Tranche A Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that they have determined that such Tranche A Special Letter of Credit is not a Performance Letter of Credit, and the
Administrative Agent shall have determined that such determination is reasonable and was made in good faith, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, the Applicable Special L/C Issuing Bank and the remaining Tranche A Lenders,
and the Special L/C Facility Fee for such Tranche A Special Letter of Credit shall be, commencing on the Business Day of such notification, increased to a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Advances; provided, that if
such Special Letter of Credit is redesignated as a Tranche B Special Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.02(d), the Special L/C Facility Fee for such Special Letter of Credit shall be, commencing on the date of such redesignation, reduced to

of Credit issued by such Special L/C Issuing Bank shall be replaced and cancelled prior to or concurrently with the removal of such Special L/C Issuing Bank and all fees and other amounts owed to such removed Special L/C Issuing Bank shall be paid

demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party for such increased cost; provided, however, that (A) the
Borrower shall not be responsible for costs under this Section 2.14(a) incurred more than 120 days prior to receipt by the Borrower of the demand from the affected Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.14(a), unless the requirement
resulting in such increased costs become effective during such 120 day period and retroactively applies to a date occurring prior to such 120 day period, in which case the Borrower shall be responsible for all such additional amounts described in
this Section 2.14(a) from and after such date of effectiveness and (B) a Lender Party claiming additional amounts under this Section 2.14 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory
restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such
Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender Party, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 (b) If any Lender Party determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender Party or any corporation controlling such Lender Party and that the amount of such
capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to make Special L/C Advances or to issue or participate in Special Letters of Credit hereunder and other commitments of such type or the issuance or
maintenance of or participation in the Special Letters of Credit (or similar Guaranteed Debts) (excluding, for purposes of this Section 2.14(b), any such increased costs to the extent attributable to the reclassification of a Special Letter of
Credit pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(ii) as other than a Performance Letter of Credit under laws, regulations or orders in effect as of the Effective Date (as to which Section 2.06(a)(ii) shall govern)), then, upon demand by such Lender
Party or such corporation (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party, from time to time as specified by such Lender Party, additional amounts
sufficient to compensate such Lender Party in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender Party reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to issue or
participate in Special Letters of Credit hereunder or to the issuance or maintenance of or participation in any Special Letters of Credit provided, however, that (A) the Borrower shall not be responsible for costs under this
Section 2.14(b) incurred more than 120 days prior to receipt by the Borrower of the demand from the affected Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.14(b), unless the requirement resulting in such increased costs become effective during
such 120 day period and retroactively applies to a date occurring prior to such 120 day period, in which case the Borrower shall be responsible for all such additional amounts described in this Section 2.14(b) from and after such date of
effectiveness and (B) a Lender Party claiming additional amounts under this Section 2.14 agrees to use reasonable

efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such
a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party. A certificate as to
such amounts submitted to the Borrower by such Lender Party shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (c) If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advances, Appropriate Lenders owed at least 33 1/3% of the then aggregate unpaid principal amount thereof notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate
for any Interest Period for such Special L/C Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify
the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (i) each such Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and, (ii) the obligation of the Appropriate
Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended, in each case, until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no
longer exist. 
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of or any change in or in the
interpretation of any law or regulation after the Effective Date shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations
hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances, to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) each Eurodollar
Rate Advance will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Special L/C Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended, in each case, until the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; provided, however, that, before making any such demand, such Lender agrees to use reasonable
efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to continue to
perform its obligations to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 
 SECTION 2.15. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, irrespective
of any right of counterclaim or set-off, not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. dollars to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account in same day funds, with payments being received by the
Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day unless the Administrative Agent otherwise elects in its sole discretion. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause like funds
to be distributed (i) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other Obligation then payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to more than one Lender Party, to such Lender Parties
for the account of their 
  
 LSP Gen Finance 
 Special L/C Facility Agreement 
  

 65 







 
respective Applicable Lending Offices ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective Obligations then payable to such Lender Parties and
(ii) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender Party, to such Lender Party for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement. 
 (b) The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender Party and each of its Affiliates, if and to the extent payment owed to
such Lender Party is not made when due hereunder or under the other Loan Documents to charge from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such Lender Party or such Affiliate any
amount so due. 
 (c) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year
of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest on other amounts based on the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of fees and letter of credit commissions shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a
year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or commissions are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an
interest rate, fee or commission hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (d) Except as
otherwise provided herein, whenever any payment hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time
shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or commitment or letter of credit fee or commission, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or
principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day. 
 (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender Party hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender Party on such
due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender Party. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender Party shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand such amount distributed to such Lender Party together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender Party until the date such Lender Party repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the
Federal Funds Rate. 
 (f) If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in
respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the Special L/C Advances to 
  
 LSP Gen Finance 
 Special L/C Facility Agreement 
  

 66 







 
which, or the manner in which, such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to
each of the Lender Parties in accordance with such Lender Party’s pro rata share of the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Special L/C Advances outstanding at such time and (ii) the aggregate Available Amount of all
Special Letters of Credit outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Special L/C Advances or other Obligations then owing to such Lender Party. 
 SECTION 2.16. Taxes. (a) Except as provided in this Section 2.16, any and all payments by any Loan Party to or for the account of any
Lender Party or any Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.15 or the applicable provisions of such other Loan Document, if any, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all
present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender Party and each Agent, (i) (x) taxes that are imposed on its overall net
income by the United States and taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender Party or such Agent, as the case may be, is
organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender Party, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction of such Lender Party’s
Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof, (y) branch profits taxes imposed by the United States or similar tax imposed by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender Party or such Agent, as the
case may be, is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender Party, by the state or foreign jurisdiction of such Lender Party’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof and (z) taxes
that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) and taxes that are imposed that are similar to branch profits taxes imposed by the United States, in each case, by any other jurisdiction (or any political
subdivision thereof) as a result of a present or former connection between such Agent or such Lender Party and the jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) imposing such tax, other than such connection arising solely from such Agent or such
Lender Party having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, any Loan Documents; (ii) taxes attributable to the failure by any Lender Party to deliver the documentation required to be delivered
pursuant to clause (e) of this Section 2.16; and (iii) in the case of a Lender Party organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (other than an assignee pursuant to the election of the Borrower under
Section 2.18), any United States withholding tax that is in effect and would apply to amounts payable hereunder at such time such Lender Party becomes a party to this Agreement or designates a new Applicable Lending Office, except to the extent
that such Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new Applicable Lending Office (or assignment) to receive additional amounts with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to this Section 2.16 (all such
non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Loan Party shall be
required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Lender Party or any Agent, (i) the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as may be necessary so that after
such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent have made all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) such Lender 
  
 LSP Gen Finance 
 Special L/C Facility Agreement

  

 67 







 
Party or such Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan
Party shall make all such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) In addition, each Loan Party shall pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, property, intangible, mortgage recording or similar taxes,
charges or levies that arise from any payment made by such Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 
 (c) The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Lender Party and
each Agent for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes of any kind imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.16, imposed on
or paid by such Lender Party or such Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the
date such Lender Party or such Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.16 to the contrary, the Borrower shall be under no obligation to any Agent or any Lender Party with
respect to any additional amounts described in subsections (a) and (c) of this Section 2.16 to the extent incurred prior to the 120th day preceding the date on which the Borrower received notice by such Agent or such Lender Party of
such additional amounts, unless the requirement resulting in such additional amounts becomes effective during such 120-day period and retroactively applies to a date occurring prior to such 120-day period, in which case the Borrower shall be
responsible for all such additional amounts described in subsections (a) and (c) of this Section 2.16 from and after such date of effectiveness. 
 (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the appropriate Loan Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a
receipt evidencing such payment, to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents by or on behalf of a Loan Party through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf of a Loan Party by a payor that is not a United States person, if such Loan Party determines that no Taxes are payable in respect
thereof, such Loan Party shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Administrative Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Administrative Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of
subsections (d) and (e) of this Section 2.16, the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.

 (e) Each Lender Party organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date of its
execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender Party and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender Party in the case of each other Lender Party, and from 
  
 LSP Gen Finance 
 Special L/C Facility Agreement 
  

 68 







 
time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long thereafter as such Lender Party remains lawfully able to do so),
provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two original Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or W-8ECI or (in the case of a Lender Party that has certified in writing to the Administrative Agent that it is not (i) a
“bank” as defined in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code), (ii) a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) of any Loan Party or (iii) a controlled
foreign corporation related to any Loan Party (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Service, certifying that such Lender Party is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a
Lender Party shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Lender Party is not legally able to deliver. 
 (f) For any period with respect to which a Lender Party has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in subsection (e) above (other than if such failure is due to a change in
law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided or if such form, certificate or other document otherwise is not required under
subsection (e) above), such Lender Party shall not be entitled to indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 2.16 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided,
however, that should a Lender Party become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, the Loan Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such steps as such
Lender Party shall reasonably request to assist such Lender Party to recover such Taxes, and such Lender Party shall reimburse the relevant Loan Party for costs incurred by such Loan Parties in rendering such assistance. 
 (g) Any Lender Party claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.16 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its
internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter
accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party. 
 (h) If any
Agent or any Lender Party determines in its discretion exercised in good faith that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional
amounts pursuant this Section 2.16, 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 2.16 with respect to the Taxes or Other
Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent or such Lender Party 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 such Agent or such Lender Party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest, or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority unless the
Governmental Authority 
  
 LSP Gen Finance 
 Special L/C Facility Agreement 
  

 69 







 
assessed such penalties, interest, or other charges due to the willful misconduct, fraud or gross negligence of the Agent or the Lender Party) to the Agent
or Lender Party in the event the Agent or the Lender Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. 
 SECTION 2.17.
Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender Party shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise, other than as a result of an assignment pursuant to
Section 9.07) (a) on account of Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such
Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the
Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lender Parties at such time or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender Party
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender Party at such time, to (ii) the aggregate amount of the
Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents at such time, such Lender Party shall forthwith purchase from the other Lender Parties such interests or participating interests in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to
cause such purchasing Lender Party to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender Party, such purchase
from each other Lender Party shall be rescinded and such other Lender Party shall repay to the purchasing Lender Party the purchase price to the extent of such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase
price paid to such Lender Party to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lender Parties) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of
such other Lender Party’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender Party in respect of the total amount so
recovered. The Loan Parties agree that any Lender Party so purchasing an interest or participating interest from another Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.17 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment
(including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest or participating interest, as the case may be, as fully as if such Lender Party were the direct creditor of the Loan Parties in the amount of such interest or participating interest, as
the case may be. 
 SECTION 2.18. Replacement of Lenders. In the event that any Lender Party (a) demands payment of costs or
additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 2.16, (b) asserts, pursuant to Section 2.14(d), that it is unlawful for such Lender Party to make Eurodollar Rate Advances (subject to such Lender Party’s right to
rescind such demand or assertion within 10 days after the notice from the Borrower referred to below) or (c) is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, upon 10 days’ prior written notice to such Lender Party and the Administrative
Agent, elect to cause such Lender Party to assign its Special L/C Advances and Special L/C Commitments in full to one or more Persons selected by the Borrower so long as (i)
  
 LSP Gen Finance 
 Special L/C Facility Agreement

  

 70 







 
each such Person satisfies the criteria of an Eligible Assignee and is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Special L/C Issuing Bank,
(ii) such Lender Party receives payment in full in cash of the outstanding principal amount of all Special L/C Advances made by it and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due and payable to such Lender Party as of the
date of such assignment (including, without limitation, amounts owing pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 9.04) and (iii) each such Eligible Assignee agrees to accept such assignment and to assume all obligations of such Lender Party hereunder
in accordance with Section 9.07. 
 SECTION 2.19. Use of Special L/C Facility. The Special L/C Facility shall be available
(a) in the case of the Tranche A Special L/C Facility, for the issuance of Performance Letters of Credit and (b) in the case of the Tranche B Special L/C Facility, (i) for the issuance of Financial Letters of Credit and (ii) for
the issuance of Special Letters of Credit for general corporate purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the Borrower’s option, Special Letters of Credit that are not Performance Letters of Credit may be issued under the Tranche A Special
L/C Facility; provided, that the Special L/C Facility Fee in respect of such Tranche A Special Letter of Credit shall be the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Advances. 
 SECTION 2.20. Incremental Facilities. (a) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date, by notice to the
Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request one or more (i) increases in the amount of the Special L/C Commitments (each such increase, a “Special L/C
Commitment Increase”) or (ii) additional tranches of revolving letter of credit commitments (each, an “Incremental Special L/C Facility” and, together with any Special L/C Commitment Increase, referred to
herein as a “Credit Increase”); provided that (A) upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below, no Default or Event of Default shall exist, (B) the Borrower may make a maximum of four
requests for a Credit Increase, and (C) the Borrower shall have received a Ratings Reaffirmation. Each Credit Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less
than $25,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of Credit Increases shall not exceed (i) $150,000,000
or (ii) when taken together with any other Debt incurred pursuant to Section 5.02(b)(iii), $650,000,000. 
 (b) Any Incremental
Special L/C Facility (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Special L/C Facility, (ii) shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date, (iii) shall be treated substantially the same as the
Special L/C Facility (in each case, including with respect to mandatory and voluntary prepayments), and (iv) if a Yield Differential exists, the Applicable Margin then in effect for Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be increased by the amount of
such Yield Differential. 
 (c) Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall set forth the requested amount and
proposed use and terms of the relevant Credit Increases and the requested allocation of such Credit Increases between the Tranche A Special L/C Facility and the Trance B Special L/C Facility. Credit Increases may be provided by any existing Lender
Party (and each existing Lender will have the right to provide a portion of any Special L/C 
  
 LSP Gen Finance 
 Special L/C Facility Agreement 
  

 71 







 
Commitment Increase or Incremental Special L/C Facility, in each case on the terms permitted in this Section 2.20 and otherwise on terms reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent) or by any other bank or financial institution (any such bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Lender”); provided that (i) the Administrative Agent
and, in the case of a Special L/C Commitment Increase, each Applicable Special L/C Issuing Bank shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Lenders or Additional Lender’s providing such Special L/C
Commitment Increases or Special L/C Facility, if such consent would be required in connection with an assignment of Special L/C Advances or Special L/C Commitments, as applicable to such Lender or Additional Lender and (ii) one or more existing
Issuing Banks or Additional Lenders shall have agreed to provide a Special L/C Issuing Commitment in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Special L/C Commitment Increase or Incremental Special L/C Facility. 
 (d) Commitments in respect of Credit Increases shall become Special L/C Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an
“Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the
Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 and such
other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. 
 (e) Credit Increases shall be available solely for the purposes described in
Section 2.19. 
 (f) No Lender Party shall be obligated to provide any Credit Increase, unless it so agrees. 
 (g) Upon each increase in the Tranche A Special L/C Commitments or the Tranche B Special L/C Commitments, as applicable, pursuant to clause (a)(ii)(A)
of this Section 2.20, each Applicable Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Special L/C Commitment Increase (each a
“Special L/C Commitment Increase Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such Special L/C Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Applicable
Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Tranche A Special Letters of Credit or Tranche B Special Letters of Credit, as applicable, such that after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the
percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Tranche A Special Letters of Credit or Tranche B Special Letters of Credit, as applicable, held by each Special L/C Lender (including each such Special L/C Commitment Increase
Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Tranche A Special L/C Commitments or Tranche B Special L/C Commitments, as applicable, of all Applicable Lenders represented by such Lender’s Special L/C Commitment and if, on the date of such
increase, there are any Tranche A Special L/C Advances or Tranche B Special L/C Advances, as applicable, outstanding, such Special L/C Advances shall on or prior to the 
  
 LSP Gen Finance 
 Special L/C Facility Agreement

  

 72 







 
effectiveness of such Special L/C Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Tranche A Special L/C Advances or Tranche B Special L/C
Advances, as applicable, made hereunder (reflecting such increase in Special L/C Commitments), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Special L/C Advances being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance
with Section 9.04(c). 
 (h) This Section 2.20 shall supersede any provision in Section 2.17 or 9.01 to the contrary.

 SECTION 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. (a) In the event that, at any one time, (i) any Lender Party shall be a Defaulting
Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted Advance to the Borrower and (iii) the Borrower shall be required to make any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then
the Borrower may, so long as no Default shall occur or be continuing at such time and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, set off and otherwise apply the Obligation of the Borrower to make such payment to or for the account of such
Defaulting Lender against the obligation of such Defaulting Lender to make such Defaulted Advance. In the event that, on any date, the Borrower shall so set off and otherwise apply its obligation to make any such payment against the obligation of
such Defaulting Lender to make any such Defaulted Advance on or prior to such date, the amount so set off and otherwise applied by the Borrower shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents an Advance by such
Defaulting Lender made on the date of such setoff under the Facility pursuant to which such Defaulted Advance was originally required to have been made pursuant to Section 2.01. Such Advance shall be considered, for all purposes of this
Agreement, to comprise part of the Borrowing in connection with which such Defaulted Advance was originally required to have been made pursuant to Section 2.01, even if the other Advances comprising such Borrowing shall be Eurodollar Rate
Advances on the date such Advance is deemed to be made pursuant to this subsection (a). The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent at any time the Borrower exercises its right of set-off pursuant to this subsection (a) and shall set
forth in such notice (A) the name of the Defaulting Lender and the Defaulted Advance required to be made by such Defaulting Lender and (B) the amount set off and otherwise applied in respect of such Defaulted Advance pursuant to this
subsection (a). Any portion of such payment otherwise required to be made by the Borrower to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender which is paid by the Borrower, after giving effect to the amount set off and otherwise applied by the Borrower
pursuant to this subsection (a), shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as specified in subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 2.21. 
 (b) In the event that, at any one time, (i) any Lender Party shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted Amount to any Agent or any of the other Lender Parties and
(iii) the Borrower shall make any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent may, on its behalf or on behalf of such other Agents or
such other Lender Parties and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, apply at such time the amount so paid by the Borrower to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender to the payment of each such Defaulted Amount to the extent
required to pay such Defaulted Amount. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall so apply any such amount to the payment of any such Defaulted Amount on any date, the amount so applied by the 
  
 LSP Gen Finance 
 Special L/C Facility Agreement

Administrative Agent shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents payment, to such extent, of such Defaulted Amount on
such date. Any such amount so applied by the Administrative Agent shall be retained by the Administrative Agent or distributed by the Administrative Agent to such other Agents or such other Lender Parties in the following order of priority:

 (i) first, to the Agents for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to them, in their capacities as such, ratably in
accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to the Agents; 
 (ii) second, to the Special L/C Issuing
Banks for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to them, in their capacities as such, ratably in accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to the Special L/C Issuing Banks; and 
 (iii) third, to any other Lender Parties for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to such other Lender Parties, ratably in accordance
with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to such other Lender Parties. 
 Any portion of such amount paid by the Borrower for the account of such
Defaulting Lender remaining after giving effect to the amount applied by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as specified in subsection (c) of this Section 2.21.

 (c) In the event that, at any one time, (i) any Lender Party shall be a Defaulting Lender and (ii) the Borrower, any Agent or
any other Lender Party shall be required to pay or distribute any amount hereunder or under any other Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower or such Agent or such other Lender Party shall pay such amount to
the Administrative Agent to be held by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in escrow or the Administrative Agent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hold in escrow such amount otherwise
held by it. Any funds held by the Administrative Agent in escrow under this subsection (c) shall be deposited by the Administrative Agent in an account with Credit Suisse or another commercial bank selected by the Administrative Agent (the
“Escrow Bank”), in the name and under the control of the Administrative Agent, but subject to the provisions of this subsection (c). The terms applicable to such account, including the rate of interest payable with respect to
the credit balance of such account from time to time, shall be the Escrow Bank’s standard terms applicable to escrow accounts maintained with it. Any interest credited to such account from time to time shall be held by the Administrative Agent
in escrow under, and applied by the Administrative Agent from time to time in accordance with the provisions of, this subsection (c). The Administrative Agent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, apply all funds so held in
escrow from time to time to the extent necessary to make any Special L/C Advances required to be made by such Defaulting Lender and to pay any amount payable by such Defaulting Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party, as and when such Special L/C Advances or amounts are required to be made or paid and, if the amount so held in escrow shall at any time be insufficient to make and pay all such Special L/C Advances and
amounts required to be made or paid at such time, in the following order of priority: 
 (i) first, to the Agents for
any amounts then due and payable by such Defaulting Lender to them hereunder, in their capacities as such, ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then due and payable to the Agents;

 (ii) second, to the Special L/C Issuing Banks for any amounts then due and payable
to them hereunder, in their capacities as such, by such Defaulting Lender, ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then due and payable to the Special L/C Issuing Banks; 
 (iii) third, to any other Lender Parties for any amount then due and payable by such Defaulting Lender to such other Lender Parties
hereunder, ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then due and payable to such other Lender Parties; and 
 (iv)
fourth, to the Borrower for any Special L/C Advance then required to be made by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to a Commitment of such Defaulting Lender. 
 In the event that any Lender Party that is a Defaulting Lender shall, at any time, cease to be a Defaulting Lender, any funds held by the Administrative Agent in escrow at such time with respect to such Lender Party shall be distributed by
the Administrative Agent to such Lender Party and applied by such Lender Party to the Obligations owing to such Lender Party at such time under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents ratably in accordance with the respective amounts of such
Obligations outstanding at such time. 
 (d) The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.21 are in
addition to other rights and remedies that any Agent or any Lender Party may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Defaulted Amount. 
 SECTION 2.22. Promissory Notes. (a) 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
Special L/C Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower to the effect
that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Special L/C Advances under either Applicable Special L/C Facility
owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Special L/C Note, in substantially the form of Exhibit B, payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the
Applicable Special L/C Commitment of such Lender. All references to Special L/C Notes in the Loan Documents shall mean Special L/C Notes, if any, to the extent issued hereunder. 
 (b) The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for
each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded for each Applicable Special L/C Facility (i) the date and amount of each Special L/C Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Special L/C Advances comprising such Special L/C

for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, (x) the Commitments of 
  
 LSP Gen Finance 
 Special L/C Facility Agreement 
  

 115 







 
each Lender Party and the obligation of each Lender Party to make Advances and of the Special L/C Issuing Banks to issue Special Letters of Credit shall
automatically be terminated and (y) the Special L/C Advances, all such interest and all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived by the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation of each Lender to fund Special L/C Advances or its participation in the Special Letters of Credit under Section 2.04 will not be terminated upon any termination or
acceleration pursuant to this paragraph. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including Section 6.01(c)), any breach or
default arising out of the Borrower’s mischaracterization in the applicable Notice of Issuance of a Special Letter of Credit as a Performance Letter of Credit or a Financial Letter of Credit shall be deemed not to be a Default or an Event of
Default, unless such mischaracterization was willful or not made in good faith and otherwise gives rise to a Default or Event of Default hereunder. 
 The Required Lenders by notice to the Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to
exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
The Required Lenders, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, may on behalf of all of the Lenders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of
Default (except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. 
 SECTION 6.02. Actions in Respect of the Special Letters of Credit upon Default. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may, or shall at the request of the Required Lenders,
irrespective of whether it is taking any of the actions described in Section 8.01 or otherwise, make demand upon the Borrower to, and forthwith upon such demand the Borrower will, pay to the First Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lender
Parties in same day funds at the First Lien Collateral Agent’s Office, for deposit in the Special L/C Cash Collateral Account, an amount equal to 102.5% of the aggregate Special L/C Exposure at such time; provided, however, that
in the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the First Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lender Parties in same day
funds at the First Lien Collateral Agent’s Office, for deposit in the Special L/C Cash Collateral Account, an amount equal to 102.5% of the Special L/C Exposure at such time, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all
of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. If at any time the Administrative Agent or the First Lien Collateral Agent determines that any funds held in the Cash Collateral Accounts are subject to any right or claim of any Person other
than the Agents and the Lender Parties or that the total amount of such funds is less than 102.5% of the Special L/C Exposure at such time, the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent or the First Lien Collateral Agent, pay
to the First Lien Collateral Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the Special L/C Cash Collateral Account, an amount equal to the excess of (a) 102.5% of

 116 







 
the Special L/C Exposure at such time over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in the Special L/C Cash Collateral Account that the
Administrative Agent or the First Lien Collateral Agent, as the case may be, determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Special Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit in the Special L/C Cash
Collateral Account, such funds shall be applied to reimburse the Special L/C Issuing Banks, to the extent permitted by applicable law. 
 ARTICLE VII

officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the
generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (a) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (b) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender Party and shall not be responsible to any Lender Party for any statements,
warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with the Loan Documents; (c) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to

genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto;
and (e) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telegram, telecopy or electronic communication) believed by it to be
genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties. 
 SECTION 7.03. Credit Suisse and Affiliates. With respect to its
Commitments, the Special L/C Advances made by it and any Special L/C Notes issued to it, Credit Suisse shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender Party and may exercise the same as though each was not the

 SECTION 7.05. Indemnification. (a) Each
Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender Party’s ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising
out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”); provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be liable for
any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final,
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party agrees to

reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of
counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 9.04, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to
any Indemnified Costs, this Section 7.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender Party or any other Person. 
 (b) Each Applicable Lender severally agrees to indemnify each Applicable Special L/C Issuing Bank (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender Party’s ratable share
(determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against
such Applicable Special L/C Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Applicable Special L/C Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender
Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Applicable Special L/C Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Applicable Lender agrees to reimburse each Applicable Special L/C Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for
its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 9.04, to the extent that such Applicable Special L/C Issuing Bank is not promptly reimbursed for
such costs and expenses by the Borrower. 
 (c) For purposes of this Section 7.05, each Lender Party’s ratable share of any amount
shall be determined, at any time, according to the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Special L/C Advances outstanding at such time and owing to such Lender Party, (B) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of (1) the
Available Amount of all Special Letters of Credit outstanding at such time and (2) any Unreimbursed Amounts in respect of Special Letters of Credit at such time and (C) such Applicable Lender’s Unused Special L/C Commitment at such
time. The failure of any Lender Party to reimburse the Administrative Agent or any Special L/C Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lender Parties to the Administrative
Agent or such Special L/C Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender Party of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Administrative Agent or any Special L/C Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for its
ratable share of such amount, but no Lender Party shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender Party to reimburse the Administrative Agent or any Special L/C Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such other Lender Party’s ratable
share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender Party hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender Party contained in this Section 7.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal,
interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 7.06. Successor Agents. The
Administrative Agent may resign as to either or both of the Special L/C Facilities at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lender Parties and the Borrower and may be removed as to the Special L/C Facility at any time with or without
cause by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that (a) any removal of the 
  
 LSP Gen Finance 
 Special L/C Facility Agreement 
  

 119 







 
Administrative Agent will not be effective until it has also been replaced as First Lien Collateral Agent and Special L/C Issuing Bank (if applicable) and
released from all of its obligations in respect thereof and (b) the Borrower and Credit Suisse shall negotiate in good faith to adjust any fees payable to Credit Suisse in its capacity as Administrative Agent hereunder. Upon any such
resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor Agent as to such of the Special L/C Facilities as to which the Administrative Agent has resigned or been removed. If no
successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required
Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lender Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the
United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative
Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan
Documents. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent as to less than all of the Special L/C Facilities, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with
all of the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent as to such Special L/C Facilities, other than with respect to funds transfers and other similar aspects of the administration of issuances of Special
Letters of Credit and payments by the Borrower in respect of the Special L/C Facilities, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement as to such Special L/C Facilities, other than as
aforesaid. If within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal under this Section 7.06 no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such
appointment, then on such 45th day (a) the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal shall become effective, (b) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the
Loan Documents and (c) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided
above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent as to any of the Special L/C Facilities shall have become effective, the provisions of this Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent as to such Special L/C Facilities under this Agreement.

contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such Obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all
expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party in enforcing any rights under this First Lien Guaranty or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Loan Party to any Lender Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents but for the fact
that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Loan Party. 
 (b) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this First Lien Guaranty, the Administrative Agent and each other Lender Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this First Lien Guaranty
and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state
law to the extent applicable to this First Lien Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent, the other Lender Parties and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the

Party under this First Lien Guaranty or any other guaranty, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Guarantor and each other Guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the
Lender Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 8.02. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the
Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Lender Party
with respect thereto. The Obligations of each Guarantor under or in respect of this First Lien Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, and a
separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce this First Lien Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or whether the Borrower or any other Loan
Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this First Lien Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have
or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following: 
 (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any
Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

 (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all
or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation,
any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise; 
 (c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the
Guaranteed Obligations; 
 (d) any manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or
any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents or any other
Property of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries; 
 (e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate
structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries; 
 (f) any failure of any Lender Party to disclose to any
Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to such Lender Party (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the
part of the Lender Parties to disclose such information); 
 (g) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this
Agreement, any Guaranty Supplement or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or 
 (h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any
representation by any Lender Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety. 
 This First Lien Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Lender Party or any other Person
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 
 SECTION 8.03. Waivers and Acknowledgments. (a) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of
nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this First Lien Guaranty and any requirement that any Lender Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or
any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral.

 (b) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this First Lien
Guaranty and acknowledges that this First Lien Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future. 
 (c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Lender Party that in any manner impairs,
reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties, any other
guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder. 
 (d) Each Guarantor acknowledges that the First Lien Collateral Agent may, without notice to or demand upon such Guarantor and without affecting the
liability of such Guarantor under this First Lien Guaranty, foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and each Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by the First Lien Collateral Agent and the other First Lien Secured Parties
against such Guarantor of any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable law. 
 (e) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any Lender Party to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations,
performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Lender Party. 
 (f)
Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 8.02 and this Section 8.03 are knowingly
made in contemplation of such benefits. 
 SECTION 8.04. Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees
not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s Obligations
under or in respect of this First Lien Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of
any Lender Party against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the
right to take or receive from the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right,

the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment made by such Guarantor pursuant to this First Lien Guaranty.

the Administrative Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Lender Parties and deliver such payments to the Administrative Agent on account of the

reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this First Lien Guaranty. 
 (d) Administrative Agent Authorization. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent is authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its discretion,

equal to the principal balance of all Special L/C Advances held by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale; provided that such Eligible Assignee consents to the proposed amendment,
waiver or consent (it being understood and agreed that the Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lender shall include, if such Non-Consenting Lender is a Special L/C Issuing Bank, the Special L/C Issuing Commitment of such Non-Consenting Lender). Each
Lender (by its acceptance of the benefits of the Loan Documents) agrees that, if it becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such sale and purchase and shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent any Special L/C Note (if the assigning Lender’s Special L/C Advances are evidenced by Special L/C Notes) subject to such Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that the failure of any
Non-Consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) ineffective.

COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH AGENT PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. 
 (d) The
Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communication pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that the approval of such procedures may be limited to
particular notices or communications. Each Lender Party agrees that 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

or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on any property of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Action relating in any way to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent such
claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of an investigation,
litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 9.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or
creditors, any Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the Transaction is consummated. The Borrower also agrees not to assert any claim against any Agent, any Lender
Party or any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the
Special L/C Facility, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Special L/C Advances or the Special Letters of Credit, the Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (except in the case of

such Lender Party any amounts required to compensate such Lender Party for any additional out-of-pocket and documented losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion or such failure to pay or prepay,
as the case may be, including, without limitation, any out-of-pocket and documented loss (but excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any
Lender Party to fund or maintain such Special L/C Advance.

otherwise 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 Agent, such Lender Party or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the
Borrower against any and all of the Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether such Agent or such Lender Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such Obligations
may be unmatured. Each Agent and each Lender Party agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and
application. The rights of each Agent and each Lender Party and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Agent, such Lender Party
and their respective Affiliates may have.

$2,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent); provided, that simultaneous assignments by two or more Related Funds shall be treated as one assignment for purposes of the minimum assignment requirement,
(ii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee and (A) each Applicable Special L/C Issuing Bank with an Applicable Special L/C Issuing Commitment (based on whether the Special L/C Commitments being assigned are Tranche A
Special L/C Commitments or Tranche B Special L/C Commitments) shall have consented to such assignment, (B) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall have consented to such assignment and
(C) to the extent such assignment is to any Eligible Assignee that, immediately prior to such assignment, was not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, the Administrative Agent shall have consented to such assignment (in each
case such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (iii) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18 or 9.01 shall be arranged by the Borrower after consultation with the
Administrative Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or
other such assignments that together cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement, (iv) no Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.18 or 9.01 unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from either the Borrower or one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Special L/C Advances owing to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, (v) no such assignments shall be permitted

 (b) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the
assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender or Special L/C Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, hereunder and (ii) the Lender or Special L/C Issuing Bank assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights
(other than its rights under Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 9.04 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s or Special L/C Issuing Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender or Special L/C Issuing Bank shall cease to be a party hereto). 
 (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Lender Party assignor thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree
with each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any
statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest
created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility
with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee

decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, such assigning Lender Party or any other Lender Party 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; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes each Agent

thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document (including the Intercreditor Agreement) are required to be performed by it as a Lender or Special L/C Issuing Bank, as the case may be. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose (but only for this purpose) as the agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance
delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lender Parties and the Special L/C Commitment of, and principal amount of the Special L/C Advances owing to, each Lender Party from time to time
(the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lender Parties shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register as a Lender Party hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Agent or any Lender Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 (e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender Party and an assignee, together with any Special L/C
Note (if any) subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record
the information contained therein in the Register. In the case of any assignment by a Lender, within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in
exchange for the surrendered Special L/C Note (if any) a new Special L/C Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Special L/C Commitment assumed by it under the Special L/C Facility pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender that had a Special L/C Note prior to such assignment has retained a Special L/C Commitment hereunder under the Special L/C Facility, a new Special L/C Note to the order of such assigning Lender in an amount
equal to the Special L/C Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Special L/C Note shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto. 
 (f) Each Special L/C Issuing Bank may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the undrawn portion
of its Special L/C Issuing Commitment at any time; provided, however, that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that immediately prior to such assignment was a Special L/C Issuing Bank or an assignment of all of a Special L/C
Issuing Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the Special L/C Issuing Commitment of the assigning Special L/C Issuing Bank being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment
and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $2,000,000, (ii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee and, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall
have consented to such assignment and (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing

of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Special L/C Advances owing to it and the Special L/C Note (if any) held by it);
provided, however, that (i) such Lender Party’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender Party shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender Party shall remain the holder of any such Special L/C Note for all purposes of this Agreement, and (iv) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lender Parties
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender Party in connection with such Lender Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower
relating to the Special L/C Advances and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable hereunder or the amount of principal of or the
rate at which interest is payable on the Special L/C Advances, extending any scheduled principal date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Special L/C Advances, increasing or extending the Special L/C Commitments or releasing any
Guarantor or all or substantially all of the Collateral). 
 (h) Any Lender Party may, in connection with any assignment or participation or
proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender Party by or on behalf of the
Borrower; provided, however, that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information received by it from such
Lender Party. 
 (i) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender Party may at any time create a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Special L/C Advances owing to it and the Special L/C Note or Special L/C Notes (if any) held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in
accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

contained herein, any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Special L/C Advances owing to it and any Special L/C Note or Special L/C Notes held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or
securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that, unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 9.07, (i) no such pledge
shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired
ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise. 
 (k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, any Lender Party (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such

in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all
or any part of any Special L/C Advance that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Special L/C Advance
and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Special L/C Advance, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Special L/C Advance pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a
Special L/C Advance by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Special L/C Advance were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) no SPC shall be
liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender Party would be liable, (ii) no SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14 and 2.16 (or any other increased costs protection provision)
and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including, without limitation, the approval of any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the Lender Party of record hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $500, assign all or any portion of its interest in any
Special L/C Advance to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Special L/C Advances to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee
or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This subsection (k) may not be amended without the prior written consent of each Granting Lender, all or any part of whose Special L/C Advances are being funded by the SPC at the time of such
amendment. 
 SECTION 9.08. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different
parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of a signature
page to this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.09.
Confidentiality. Neither any Agent nor any Lender Party shall disclose any Confidential Information to any Person without the consent of the Borrower, other than (a) to such Agent’s or such Lender Party’s Affiliates and their
officers, directors, trustees, employees, agents and advisors and to actual or prospective Eligible Assignees and participants, and then only on a confidential basis, (b) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process,
(c) as requested or required by any state, Federal or foreign authority or examiner (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or quasi-regulatory authority) regulating such Lender Party,
(d) to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it
