the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be entitled to

account in the name of the Borrower, as designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so
received to the respective Lenders. 
 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any
Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date
of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so
made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the
interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing or (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be

 (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to
such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall

conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to
any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this
Section 2.09 and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.09 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall
not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.09 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be converted
or continued into an ABR Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Term Borrowings. (a) On the last day of each fiscal quarter,
commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2005, or if any such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day (each such date being called a “Repayment Date”), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the Term Lenders, a principal amount of the Term Loans equal to .25% of the original outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Facility(i.e., 1% per annum). 
 (b) To the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest
on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of payment. 
 (c) All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be
subject to Section 2.15, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty. 
  

 40 

 SECTION 2.11. Optional Prepayment. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from
time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or written or fax
notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) at least one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment in the case of ABR Loans, to the Administrative Agent before 12:00 Noon, New York City time; provided,
however, that (i) each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000; (ii) the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Term Loan Lenders (A) if
such prepayment occurs on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Term Loan, all amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15, (B) a prepayment premium of (x) 3.0% of the amount prepaid, if such prepayment is made on or prior to the
date that is one year after the Closing Date, and (y) a prepayment premium of 1.0% of the amount prepaid, if such prepayment is made after the date that is one year after the Closing Date, but on or prior to the date that is two years after the
Closing Date. 
 (b) Optional prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied, first, pro rata to the remaining scheduled
installments of principal due in respect of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.10 and, second, pro rata against the amounts outstanding in respect of the Liquidity Facility Loans with no corresponding reduction in the
Liquidity Facility Commitments. 
 (c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing
(or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.11 shall be subject to
Section 2.15 and shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment. 
 SECTION 2.12. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) In the event of any termination of all the Liquidity Facility Commitments, the Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all its outstanding
Liquidity Facility Borrowings. If as a result of any partial reduction of the Liquidity Facility Commitments the Aggregate Liquidity Facility Exposure would exceed the Total Liquidity Facility Commitment after giving effect thereto, then the
Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction, repay or prepay Liquidity Facility Borrowings in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. 
 (b) Not later than the third Business Day following the completion of any Asset Sale, the Borrower shall deposit the Net Cash Proceeds received with respect thereto into the Asset Sales Proceeds Account and thereafter apply such amount to
prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.12(f). The Borrower shall apply Loss Proceeds to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Depositary Agreement. 
 (c) In the event and on each occasion that an Equity Issuance occurs, the Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later
than the third Business Day next following) the occurrence of such Equity Issuance, deposit the Required Prepayment Percentage of the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom into the Redemption Account and thereafter apply such amount to prepay outstanding Term
Loans in accordance with Section 2.12(f). 
  

 41 

 (d) In the event that the Borrower or any subsidiary shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or
other incurrence of Debt of the Borrower or any subsidiary (other than Permitted Debt), the Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the third Business Day next following) the receipt of such Net Cash
Proceeds by the Borrower or any subsidiary, deposit an amount equal to the Required Prepayment Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds into the Redemption Account and within one Business Day thereafter apply such amount to prepay outstanding Term Loans
in accordance with Section 2.12(f). 
 (e) On each Repayment Date, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to the
portion of the Excess Cash Flow required to be applied for the quarter ending on the immediately preceding Repayment Date pursuant to the terms of the Depositary Agreement to prepay the Term Loans, in accordance with and in the amount specified in
Section 3.1(c)(10) of the Depositary Agreement, such prepayment to be made in accordance with Section 2.12(f); provided that, the cure periods included in Article VII of this Agreement shall not in any way affect the timing of the
prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.12(e). 
 (f) Mandatory prepayments of outstanding Term Loans under this Agreement shall be
applied (i) first in chronological order to the remaining scheduled installments due in respect of the Term Loans under Section 2.10 and (ii) second, to the repayment of the Liquidity Facility. 
 (g) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.12, (i) a certificate
signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least five days prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of
prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. All prepayments of Borrowings pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be subject to
Section 2.15, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty. Any Lender may elect, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) at least four (4) Business Days or any shorter time period as the
Administrative Agent may determine, prior to the applicable prepayment date, to decline all of any mandatory prepayment of its Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12. If any Lender rejects all or any portion of such mandatory prepayments,
such amount shall be offered collectively to the other Lenders on a pro rata basis. To the extent that the Lenders collectively reject all or any portion of such mandatory prepayments, the amounts so rejected shall not be subject to the waterfall
provisions of the Depositary Agreement and such amounts shall be directly deposited in the Distribution Account. 
 SECTION 2.13.
Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or the Administrative Agent (except
any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or 
  

 42 

 (ii) impose on any Lender or the Administrative Agent or the London interbank market any
other condition affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender, 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender
of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to any Lender or the Administrative Agent or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender
hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender or the Administrative Agent to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon demand such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender or the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that
which such Lender or the Administrative Agent or such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s
policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or the Administrative Agent to be material, then from time to time the Borrower
shall pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent or such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s holding company for any
such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender or the Administrative Agent setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to
compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent or their respective holding companies, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, the amount or amounts shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver
of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender or the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or
(b) above for increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 270 days prior to such request if such Lender or the Administrative Agent knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided further that the foregoing limitation shall
not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 270-day period. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender and the Administrative Agent regardless
of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed. 
  

 43 

 SECTION 2.14. Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the
Administrative Agent: 
 (i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such
unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans), whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing (or to
convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an
additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and 
 (ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such
Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below. 
 In the
event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted
Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans. Any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan under (i) above shall be
subject to Section 2.15. 
 (b) For purposes of this Section 2.14, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to
each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower. 
 SECTION 2.15. Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a
consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Eurodollar Loan
prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period
in effect therefor or (iii) any Eurodollar Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.09) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the
Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a “Breakage Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event,
such loss shall 

  

 44 

 
include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the
subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such
Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.15
shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.16. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as
required under Section 2.14, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Commitment Fees, each reduction of the Term Loan Commitments or the Liquidity Facility
Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated,
in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each
Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount. 
 SECTION 2.17. Sharing of Setoffs.
Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or
interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan
or Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at
face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and participations in Loans held by each Lender shall be in
the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all
Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.17 and the payment
giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. The Borrower expressly consents
to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the
Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 SECTION 2.18. Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Credit Document not later than 12:00 (noon), New
York City time, on the date when due in 

  

 45 

 
immediately available dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at Eleven
Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10010. All payments hereunder and under each other Credit Document shall be made in Dollars. The Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender any payments secured by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such
Lender. 
 (b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or
any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall
in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable. 
 SECTION 2.19. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments
by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions or withholding (including deductions or withholdings applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make (or cause to be made)
such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid) the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. In addition, the Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid) any Other Taxes to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each
Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, or any of their respective Affiliates, on or with respect to any
payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Credit Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties,
interest and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such
payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (c) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to Section 2.19(a), and in any event within 30 days of any
such payment being due, the Borrower shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting
such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) Any Foreign Lender that is
entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty 

  

 46 

 
to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent),
at the reasonable written request of the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that such Lender is
legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or delivery would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender. In addition, each Foreign Lender shall
(i) furnish on or before it becomes a party to the Agreement either (a) two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or successor form) or (b) an accurate and complete U.S. Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8ECI (or successor form), certifying, in either case, to such Foreign Lender’s legal entitlement to an exemption or reduction from U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to all interest payments hereunder, and
(ii) provide a new Form W-8BEN (or successor form) or Form W-8ECI (or successor form) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form to reconfirm any complete exemption from, or any entitlement to a reduction in, U.S.
federal withholding tax with respect to any interest payment hereunder; provided that any Foreign Lender that is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and is relying on the so-called
“portfolio interest exemption” shall also furnish a “Non-Bank Certificate” in the form of Exhibit I together with a Form W-8BEN. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Foreign Lender shall not be required to
deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver. 
 (e) Any Lender that is a United
States person, as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, and is not an exempt recipient within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.6049-4(c) shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) two
accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any successor form that such person is entitled to provide at such time in order to comply with United States back-up withholding requirements. 
 (f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this
Section 2.19 shall survive the payment in full of all amounts due hereunder. 
 SECTION 2.20. Assignment of Commitments Under
Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate. (a) In the event (i) any Lender delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.13, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.14, (iii) the Borrower is required to pay
any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19 or (iv) any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement requested by the Borrower which
requires the consent of all of the Lenders or all of the Lenders under any Facility to become effective (and which is approved by at least the Required Lenders), the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the
processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender or the issuing bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment);
provided that (x) such assignment shall 

  

 47 

 
not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) solely with respect to
replacements of Lenders pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section, the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, and (z) the
Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans of such Lender, plus all Fees
and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender hereunder (including any amounts under Section 2.13 and Section 2.15); provided further that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event
that resulted in such Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or notice under Section 2.14 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.19, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender to suffer increased costs or
reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.14, or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.19, as the case may be (including as a
result of any action taken by such Lender pursuant to paragraph (b) below), or if such Lender shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.13 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice
under Section 2.14 or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 2.19 in respect of such circumstances or event, as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment
hereunder. In connection with any such replacement, if the replaced Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance reflecting such replacement within five Business Days of the date on which
the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance to the replaced Lender, then such replaced Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance. 
 (b) If (i) any Lender shall request compensation under Section 2.13, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.14 or
(iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender, pursuant to Section 2.19, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender
to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (x) to
file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment
would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.13 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.14 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.19, as the case may be, in the future. The Borrower hereby
agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer. 
 SECTION 2.21. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing (a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined that adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for determining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period or (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such
Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period, the 

  

 48 

 
Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or fax notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event
of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to
Section 2.03 or 2.09 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing and (ii) any Interest Period election that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be
ineffective. Each determination by the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.21 shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.22. Change of Control Prepayment. (a) No less than three Business Days after the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Borrower shall offer to each Lender (by delivery of a prepayment offer to the Administrative
Agent) to prepay all (but not part) of its outstanding Loans in accordance with this Section 2.22. The prepayment offer shall be irrevocable and shall state: (i) the proposed date of prepayment (which date shall be no earlier than 5 days and no
later than 10 days from the date of the applicable Change of Control); (ii) the prepayment price (which, with respect to each Lender, shall be calculated as the sum of (x)(i) 103% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loans made by
such Lender, if such change of control occurs on or prior to the date that is one year after the Closing Date and (ii) 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans of such Lender if such change of control occurs after the date that is one
year after the Closing Date but on or prior to the date that is two years after the Closing Date, (y) all accrued and unpaid Interest Expense on such Loans and (z) all accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid and, to the
extent applicable, breakage costs, as provided for in Section 2.15 hereof; (iii) that each Lender that accepts such prepayment offer must accept such offer with respect to all (but not part) of its Loans; (iv) that each Lender must accept such offer
by delivering notice of such acceptance to the Administrative Agent within 30 days after the date the Borrower makes its offer to such Lender (the “Offer Period”); and (v) in reasonable detail, the nature of the applicable Change of
Control and the projected impact of such Change of Control on the Project, the operations thereof and the Borrower. 
 (b) The Borrower shall
comply with the terms of each such prepayment offer. Each Lender shall have the right to accept such offer prior to the expiration of the applicable Offer Period. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower shall not request, nor shall any Lender be obligated to make, any Liquidity Facility Loans from and after the date of a Change of Control until the
date the Borrower prepays all of the Lenders who have accepted a prepayment offer in accordance with this Section 2.22. 
 (d) The
Commitments of each Lender that accepts a prepayment offer in accordance with this Section 2.22 shall terminate in its entirety on the date such Lender’s Loans are repaid or, if later, scheduled to be repaid or returned pursuant to such
offer.

 Representations and Warranties 
 The Borrower represents and warrants to the Arrangers, the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of the Lenders that: 
 SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers. The Borrower (a)
is duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or formation, (b) has all requisite power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property and assets, to

Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes, and each other Operative Document when executed and delivered by the Borrower thereto will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable

 SECTION 3.06. Title to Properties; Possession Under Leases. (a) The Borrower has good and insurable title to, or valid leasehold interests
in, all its material properties and assets (including all Real Property), except for minor defects in title that, in the aggregate, are not substantial in amount and do not materially detract from the value of the property subject thereto or
interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties and assets for their intended purposes. The Project is free from material structural defects and all systems contained therein are in good
working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, suitable for the purposes for which they are currently being used. No portion of the Real Property has suffered any material damage by fire or other casualty loss that has not heretofore
been completely repaired and restored to its original condition. Each parcel of Real Property and the current use thereof complies with all applicable laws (including building and zoning ordinances and codes) and with all insurance requirements; the
Borrower is not a non-conforming user of any Real Property. 
 (b) The Borrower, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, each other party
thereto, has complied with all obligations under all material leases to which it is a party and all such leases are legal, valid, binding and in full force and effect and are enforceable in accordance with their terms. The Borrower enjoys peaceful
and undisturbed possession under all such material leases. No landlord Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any lease payment under any material lease. None of the Real Property is
subject to any lease, sublease, license or other agreement granting to any person (other than the Borrower) any right to the use, occupancy, possession or enjoyment of the Real Property or any portion thereof.

 (e) There are no pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, proposed special or other assessments for
public improvements or otherwise affecting any material portion of the owned Real Property, nor are there any contemplated improvements to such owned Real Property that may result in such special or other assessments. The Borrower has not suffered,
permitted or initiated the joint assessment of any owned Real Property with any other real property constituting a separate tax lot. Each owned parcel of Real Property is comprised of one or more parcels, each of which constitutes a separate tax lot
and none of which constitutes a portion of any other tax lot. 
 (f) The Borrower has obtained all permits, licenses, variances and
certificates required by applicable law to be obtained and necessary to the use and operation of each parcel of Real Property, except where the failure to have such permit, license, certificate or variance would not prohibit the use of such parcel
of Real Property as it is currently being used. The use being made of each parcel of Real Property conforms with the certificate of occupancy and/or such other permits, licenses, variances and certificates for such Real Property and any other
restrictions, covenants or conditions affecting such Real Property, except for any such nonconformity that could not reasonably be expected to be enjoined or to result in material fines.

(including, without limitation, the Site) is in violation of, nor will the continued operation of their material properties and assets as currently conducted violate, any law, rule or regulation (including any zoning, building, Environmental Law,
ordinance, code or approval or any building permits) or any restrictions of record or agreements affecting the Mortgaged Property, or is in default with respect to any judgment, writ, injunction, decree or order of any Governmental Authority, where
such violation or default, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Mortgaged Property. 
 SECTION 3.08. Federal Reserve Regulations. (a) The Borrower is not engaged principally, or as one of its
important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of buying or carrying Margin Stock. 
 (b) No part of the proceeds
of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for purchasing or carrying Margin Stock or for the purpose of purchasing, carrying or trading in any securities under such
circumstances as to involve the Borrower in a violation of Regulation X or to involve any broker or dealer in a violation of Regulation T. No Debt being reduced or retired out of the proceeds of any Loans was or will be incurred for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. Following the application of the proceeds of the Loans, Margin Stock will not constitute more than 25% of the value of the assets of the Borrower. None of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will
violate or result in the violation of any of the provisions of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulation T, U or X. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each
Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1 referred to in Regulation U.

consultation with the Independent Engineer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; 
 (ii) the Power

Independent Engineer, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) without obtaining the prior written consent of the Required Lenders; provided, that the Borrower may terminate a Power Purchase Agreement if such agreement is simultaneously
replaced with a Power Purchase Agreement at least as favorable to the Borrower as the Power Purchase Agreement being terminated with a Replacement Obligor with an equal or higher credit rating from S&P or Moody’s at such time as the
counterparty to the Power Purchase Agreement to be terminated (or having a guarantor having such a rating that fully guarantees such Replacement Obligor’s obligations on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent);

 (iii) it is understood and agreed that the Borrower shall have the right (1) to replace the existing Energy Manager
with a qualified replacement Energy Manager with a rating of not less than BBB- from S&P and Baa3 from Moody’s (an “Investment Grade Rating”), on contractual terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Independent

transaction of its nature, (iii) are with a counterparty that has an Investment Grade Rating (or with a counterparty whose obligations are fully guaranteed by a person with an Investment Grade Rating on terms and conditions reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) or with a counterparty that posts other performance security in support of its obligations to Borrower of a type, and in an amount, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and (iv) have
anticipated results that are consistent with the results expected to be achieved by the Borrower pursuant to the Unit #4 Power and Fuel Plan. In the event of a replacement pursuant to clause (1) above, the Borrower shall have the right to use
all performance security posted with its then existing Energy Manager to satisfy any performance security requirements of the replacement Energy Manager and, if the replacement Energy Manager’s performance security requirements are less than
the amount held by the existing Energy Manager, then the excess of such existing performance security over the amount not required to be posted with the replacement Energy Manager shall not be subject to the payments waterfall and shall be
distributed to the Borrower without regard to Section 6.06; or 
 (iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower
may, without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, enter into any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of, or give any consent under, any Project Document (other than the Power Purchase
Agreements) or Organizational 

  

 75 

 
Document if such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent is not material and is not incompatible with the then current Annual Operating Budget

continuing under any Power Purchase Agreement). 
 SECTION 6.20. Hazardous Substances. Release any Hazardous Substances in
material violation of any Environmental Laws, Legal Requirements or Applicable Permits or in a manner that would reasonably be expected to subject the Secured Parties to liability or the Subject Companies to material liability. 
 SECTION 6.21. Additional Project Documents. Enter into or become a party to any Additional Project Document, except as provided in Section
6.15, unless (A) such Additional Project Document is entered into with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Independent Engineer or the Independent Power Market Consultant, as applicable, (B) such Additional
Project Document is in the name of the Borrower and (C) if required by the Administrative Agent, upon delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Consent from such third party in substantially the form of Exhibit D. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
clause (A) shall not apply to any Acceptable Unit #4 Power Purchase Agreement. 
 ARTICLE VII. 
 Events of Default 
 SECTION 7.01.
In case of the happening of any of the following events (“Events of Default”): 
  

 76 

 (a) Payments. (i) Default shall be made in the payment of any principal of any Loan when and
as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the due date thereof or at a date fixed for prepayment thereof or by acceleration thereof or otherwise, or (ii) default shall be made in the payment of any interest on any Loan or any Fee or
any other amount due under any Credit Document, when and as the same shall become due and payable, and, in case of clause (ii), such default shall continue unremedied for a period of three Business Days; 
 (b) Judgment. One or more judgments for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of $5,000,000 or other judgments that, individually
or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect shall be rendered against Borrower and the same shall remain undischarged for a period of 30 consecutive days during which execution shall not be
effectively stayed, or any action shall be legally taken by a judgment creditor to levy upon assets or properties of the Borrower to enforce any such judgment. 
 (c) Misstatements; Omissions. Any written financial statement, representation, warranty or certification made by Holdings under any Member Pledge Agreement or the Borrower in this Agreement or any other Credit
Document or in any separate written statement or document delivered to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall contain an untrue or misleading statement of a material fact or shall fail
to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading as of the date made, and as a result thereof, there is a Material Adverse Effect unless, if such misstatement is subject to cure, Borrower cures such misstatement
within 30 days of becoming aware thereof and no Material Adverse Effect has occurred in connection with such misstatement. 
 (d)
Bankruptcy; Insolvency. Any of the Borrower, Member, the Power Purchasers, shall become subject to a Bankruptcy Event, and, in the case of the Power Purchasers, the Bankruptcy Event would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect; provided that no Event of Default shall occur as a result of such circumstance if the Borrower obtains a Replacement Obligor for the affected party within a reasonable period of time not to exceed 180 days and such circumstance has
not had and does not have, prior to so obtaining such Replacement Obligor, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (e) Indebtedness Cross
Default. Borrower shall default for a period beyond any applicable grace period (a) in the payment of any principal, interest or other amount due under any agreement involving the borrowing of money or the advance of credit (other than the
Credit Documents) and the outstanding amount or amounts payable under all such agreements equals or exceeds $5,000,000 in the aggregate, or (b) in the payment of any amount or performance of any obligation due under any guarantee or other
agreement (other than the Credit Documents) if in either case, pursuant to such default, the holder of the obligation concerned has accelerated the maturity of an indebtedness evidenced thereby which equals or exceeds $5,000,000. 
 (f) ERISA. If the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate should establish, maintain, contribute to or become obligated to contribute to any Benefit Plan
and (i) a reportable event (as defined in Section 4043(b) of ERISA) shall have occurred with respect to any Benefit Plan and, within thirty (30) days after the reporting of such reportable event to the Administrative Agent by the
Borrower and the furnishing of such information as the Administrative Agent may 

  

 77 

 
reasonably request with respect thereto, the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower in writing that (A) the Administrative Agent has made
a determination that, on the basis of such reportable event, there are reasonable grounds for the termination of such ERISA Plan by the PBGC or for the appointment by the appropriate United States District Court of a trustee to administer such
Benefit Plan, and (B) as a result thereof, an Event of Default exists hereunder; or (ii) a trustee shall be appointed by a United States District Court to administer any Benefit Plan; or (iii) the PBGC shall institute proceedings to
terminate any Benefit Plan; or (iv) a complete or partial withdrawal by the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate from any Multiemployer Plan shall have occurred, or any Multiemployer Plan shall enter reorganization status, become insolvent or
terminate (or notify the Borrower or ERISA Affiliate of its intent to terminate) under Section 4041A of ERISA and, within thirty (30) days after the reporting of any such occurrence to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower and the
furnishing of such information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request with respect thereto, the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower in writing that the Administrative Agent has made a determination that, on the basis of
such occurrence, an Event of Default exists hereunder, provided that the events described in this Section 7.01(f) will not result in an Event of Default unless the subject event involves (x) one or more Benefit Plans that are
single-employer plans (as defined in Section 4001(a)(l5) of ERISA) and under which the aggregate gross amount of unfunded benefit liabilities (as defined in Section 400l(a)(16) of ERISA), including vested unfunded liabilities which arise
or might arise as the result of the termination of such Benefit Plans, exceeds $1,000,000, and/or (y) one or more Multiemployer Plans to which the aggregate liabilities of the Borrower and all ERISA Affiliates exceeds $1,000,000. 
 (g) Project Documents. 
 (i) The Borrower. The Borrower shall be in breach of any material obligation, or a material default by the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing, under a Project Document, and such breach or default shall not be remediable
or, if remediable, shall continue unremedied for a period equal to the lesser of the cure period provided under the Project Document or thirty (30) days; provided that if (A) such breach cannot be cured within such period,
(B) such breach is susceptible of cure, (C) the Borrower is proceeding with diligence and in good faith to cure such breach, (D) the existence of such breach has not resulted in, and would not after considering the nature of the cure
be reasonably expected to give rise to, a termination by the counterparty to the Project Document which is subject to breach or to otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect and (E) the Administrative Agent shall have received an officer’s
certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to the effect of clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) above and stating what action the Borrower is taking to cure such breach, then, so long as no Material Adverse Effect occurs, such
30-day cure period shall be extended to such date, not to exceed 180 days, as shall be necessary for the Borrower diligently to cure such breach. 
 (ii) Third Party. Any party other than the Borrower shall be in breach of any obligation under a Project Document or a default by a party other than the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing under a
Project Document and such breach or default shall not be remediable or, if remediable, shall continue unremedied for a period equal to the lesser of the cure period provided under the Project Document or thirty (30) days 

  

 78 

 
(unless waived by the appropriate party; provided that the Borrower, prior to waiving any such material breach or material default, shall have
obtained the written consent of the Administrative Agent) and has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided that if (A) such breach cannot be cured within such 30-day period, (B) such breach is
susceptible of cure, (C) the breaching party is proceeding with diligence and in good faith to cure such breach and (D) an extension of the time to cure would not reasonably be expected to exacerbate an existing Material Adverse Effect or
cause any new Material Adverse Effect, then, such 30-day cure period shall be extended to such date as shall be necessary for such third party diligently to cure such breach; provided, further that no Event of Default shall be declared
as a result of any such action if the Borrower obtains a Replacement Obligor for the affected party within the cure period referred to in this paragraph (including the 30-day cure period, if no extension is given) and such extension of time to cure
has not, and would not reasonably be expected to, exacerbate an existing Material Adverse Effect or cause any new Material Adverse Effect. 
 (iii) Termination. Any material provision in any Project Document shall for any reason cease to be valid and binding on any party thereto (other than the Borrower) except upon fulfillment of such party’s
obligations thereunder (or any party to a Project Document pursues a right of termination that could reasonably have merit) and the foregoing would be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, provided that no Event of Default
shall occur as a result of such circumstance if the Borrower obtains a Replacement Obligor for the affected party and such circumstance has not had and does not have, prior to the Borrower’s so obtaining such Replacement Obligor, a Material
Adverse Effect. 
 (h) Breach of Terms of Agreement. 
 (i) The Borrower shall fail to perform or observe any of the covenants set forth in Sections 5.01(i), 5.08(a), 5.13, 5.15, 6.01, 6.02,
6.03, 6.04, 6.05, 6.06, 6.12, 6.16, 6.19 or 6.20. 
 (ii) The Borrower shall fail to perform or observe any other covenant to
be observed or performed by it hereunder or any other Credit Document not otherwise specifically provided for in Sections 7.01(h)(i), 7.01(h)(ii) or elsewhere in this Article VII, and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of
thirty (30) days after the Borrower either has actual knowledge of such failure and the fact that such failure constitutes a Default hereunder or receives written notice thereof from the Administrative Agent; provided, however,
that if (A) such failure cannot be cured within such 30-day period, (B) such failure is susceptible of cure, (C) the Borrower is proceeding with diligence and in good faith to cure such failure, (D) the existence of such failure
has not had and would not after considering the nature of the cure reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (E) the Administrative Agent shall have received an officer’s certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of
the Borrower to the effect of clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) above and stating what action the Borrower is taking to cure such failure, then such 30-day cure period shall be extended to such date, not to exceed a total of 180 days, as shall
be necessary for the Borrower diligently to cure such failure. 
  

 79 

 (i) Loss of Eligible Facility Status. 
 (i) The Borrower shall, prior to the Effective Date of PUHCA Repeal, cease to be an EWG or the Project shall cease to be an Eligible
Facility and, in either case, the same shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days or, if (A) such breach cannot be cured within such period, (B) such breach is susceptible of cure and (C) the Borrower is proceeding with
diligence and in good faith to cure such breach, then, such 30-day cure period shall be extended to such date, not to exceed a total of ninety (90) days, as shall be necessary to diligently cure such breach so long as such extension of time to
cure has not caused, and would not reasonably be expected to cause, a Material Adverse Effect; 
 (ii) The Borrower shall
become subject to regulation under PUHCA, except to the extent applicable to an EWG, or become subject to regulations that would materially adversely affect the Project with respect to the sale of electricity under any applicable state or federal
law, except to the extent applicable under the orders issued to the Borrower referenced in Section 4.02(v), and the same shall continue for a period of thirty (30)-days or, if (A) such breach cannot be cured within such period,
(B) such breach is susceptible of cure and (C) the Borrower is proceeding with diligence and in good faith to cure such breach, then, such 30-day cure period shall be extended to such date, not to exceed a total of 120 days, as shall be
necessary to diligently cure such breach so long as such extension of time to cure has not caused, and would not reasonably be expected to cause, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (j) Security. Any of the Collateral Documents, once executed and delivered, shall, except as the result of the acts or omissions of the
Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties (except any such omission in respect of which the Borrower is expressly obligated under the Credit Documents), in any material respect cease to be in full force
and effect as applied to the Borrower, or Holdings or fail to provide the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties the Liens and associated rights and remedies permitted by law purported to be created
thereby. 
 (k) Loss of or Failure to Obtain Applicable Permits. 
 (i) The Borrower shall fail to obtain any Permit on or before the date that such Permit becomes an Applicable Permit and such failure
would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided that no Event of Default shall occur for a period of up to thirty (30) days following any such failure so long as (x) the Borrower is diligently seeking to
remedy such failure, (y) the Borrower continues to operate the Project as contemplated by the Credit Documents and the Project Documents and (z) at all times during such 30-day period there has not occurred, nor after consideration of the
nature of the Borrower’s efforts to remedy such failure, would there reasonably be expected to occur, a Material Adverse Effect. 
  

 80 

 (ii) Any Applicable Permit necessary for operation of the Project by the Borrower shall
be materially modified (other than modifications requested by the Borrower and approved in writing in advance of such modification by the Administrative Agent acting at the direction of the Required Lenders, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld), revoked, cancelled or not renewed by the issuing agency or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction and loss of such Permit would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided that no Event of Default
shall occur for a period up to 120 days following any such modification, revocation, cancellation or non-renewal so long as (x) the Borrower is diligently appealing (or causing to be appealed) such modification, revocation or cancellation,
(y) the Borrower continues to operate the Project as contemplated by the Credit Documents and the Project Documents and the enforcement of such modification, revocation or cancellation is effectively stayed during such period of operation, and
(z) at all times during the pendency of such appeal, there has not occurred, nor after consideration of the nature of the Borrower’s efforts in respect of such appeal, would there reasonably be expected to occur, a Material Adverse Effect.

 (iii) Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that the Project’s NPDES Permit No. IL0073086 (the
“NPDES Permit”) expired on May 31, 2004 and that an application for renewal of that permit remains pending with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower’s
failure to obtain an a renewed NPDES Permit shall not constitute an Event of Default under this Section 7.01(k) for so long as (w) the Borrower is diligently seeking and taking commercially reasonable actions to obtain renewal of the NPDES
Permit, (x) the Borrower continues to operate the Project as contemplated by the Credit Documents and the Project Documents (y) the Borrower has not bee issued any order or decree requiring a shutdown or curtailment of operations of the
Project, and there has been no imminent threat of administrative or judicial action that may result in such an order or decree, and (z) there has not occurred, nor after consideration of the nature of the Borrower’s efforts to remedy such
failure, would there reasonably be expected to occur, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (l) Loss of Collateral. Any material portion of
the Borrower’s property is damaged, seized or appropriated without fair value being paid therefor such as to allow replacement of such property and/or prepayment of Secured Obligations and to allow the Borrower, in the Administrative
Agent’s reasonable judgment, to continue satisfying its obligations hereunder and under the other Operative Documents. 
 (m)
Destruction of the Project. All or a material portion of the assets or operations of the Project are destroyed, or suffer an actual or constructive loss or material damage, and thereafter (a) the following conditions are not met:

 (i) a decision has been made to repair or restore the Project by the Required Lenders; 
 (ii) all Insurance Proceeds and/or Eminent Domain Proceeds received by the Borrower shall be deposited into the Loss Proceeds Account; and

  

 81 

 (iii) The Borrower certifies, and the Administrative Agent determines in its reasonable
judgment (after consultation with the Independent Engineer) that a sufficient amount of funds is or will be available to the Borrower in the Loss Proceeds Account to make repairs and restorations (and to make all payments of Debt Service which will
become due during and following such repair period); 
 or (b) the Project ceases to operate for a period beyond the later of (i) sixty
(60) days after the receipt of Loss Proceeds or (ii) 120 days after the event of loss unless restoration or repair shall have been approved in accordance with clause (a) above. 
 (n) Sponsor Debt Service Reserve Letter of Credit. The Sponsor Debt Service Reserve Letter of Credit (or proceeds of the drawing thereunder) shall
cease to be held by the Collateral Agent for credit to the Debt Service Reserve Account, except to the extent that such Sponsor Debt Service Reserve Letter of Credit has been replaced by the Sponsor Debt Service Reserve Cash Collateral, an
additional Sponsor Debt Service Reserve Letter of Credit or a Project Debt Service Reserve Letter of Credit, in each case, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. 
 (o) Suspension Notice. If the Borrower shall have sent a notice of voluntary termination to ComEd pursuant to Section 3.3 of the ComEd
Interconnection Agreement or ComEd shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent a Notice of Suspension under (and as defined in) the ComEd Consent. 
 SECTION 7.02. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at the election of the Required Lenders, upon notice to the Borrower of
such election (other than with respect to an Event of Default under Section 7.01(d), in which case no such notice will be required) but without further notice of default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of non-payment or
dishonor, or other notices or demands of any kind, all such further notices and demands being waived, exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies, in any combination or order that the Required Lenders may elect, in addition to such
other rights or remedies as the Secured Parties may have hereunder, under the Collateral Documents or at law or in equity: 
 (a) No
Further Loans. Cancel all Commitments and elect not to make (and upon such election the Secured Parties shall not be obligated to make) any additional drawings, and the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any payments, or permit
the making of payments, from any Account or any Proceeds or other funds held by the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents or on behalf of the Borrower. 
 (b) Cure by the Administrative Agent. Without any obligation to do so, make drawings to or on behalf of the Borrower to cure any Event of Default or Default hereunder and to cure any default under any Project
Documents as the Required Lenders in their sole discretion may consider necessary or appropriate, whether to preserve and protect the Collateral or the Secured Parties’ interests therein or for any other reason, and all sums so expended,
together with interest on such total amount at the Default Rate (but in no event shall the rate exceed the maximum lawful rate), shall be repaid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent on demand 

  

 82 

 
and shall be secured by the Credit Documents, notwithstanding that such expenditures may, together with amounts advanced under this Agreement, exceed the
aggregate amount of the commitment for the Loans Liquidity Facility Commitments. 
 (c) Acceleration. Declare and make all sums of
outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest remaining under this Agreement together with all unpaid fees, costs (including Liquidation Costs) and charges due hereunder or under any other Credit Document, immediately due and payable and
require the Borrower immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives, to pay the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties an amount in immediately available
funds equal to the aggregate amount of all of the Secured Obligations; provided that in the event of an Event of Default occurring under Section 7.01(d) in respect of the Borrower all such amounts shall become immediately due and payable
without further act of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties. 
 (d) Cash Collateral. Apply, set off or execute upon
any amounts on deposit in any Account or any Proceeds, or any other moneys of the Borrower on deposit with the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in the manner provided in the UCC and other relevant statutes and decisions and
interpretations thereunder with respect to cash collateral; or on its own volition if the Administrative Agent reasonably believes that the failure to make such a payment would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, apply funds in
the Revenue Account at the times and in the order of priority provided in the Depositary Agreement. 
 (e) Insurance Proceeds.
Liquidate Insurance Proceeds (including any Permitted Investments made with such proceeds) in such manner as the Required Lenders shall deem reasonable and prudent under the circumstances and apply the same (i) to curing such Event of Default,
and any Insurance Proceeds remaining thereafter shall be applied as provided in the Depositary Agreement, or (ii) toward payment of all other Secured Obligations of the Borrower in connection with exercise of the Secured Parties’ remedies
pursuant to Section 7.02. 
 (f) Remedies Under Credit Documents. Exercise any and all rights and remedies available under any of
the Credit Documents, including judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or public or private sale of any of the Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Documents. 
 (g) Borrower Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be contained in this Article VII, in no event shall any Agent or any other Secured Party have any right at any time to receive, hold,
attach, set-off or otherwise take possession of any funds or proceeds in respect of the NEPCO/Enron Claims, the Dynegy Dispute, or the Property Tax Refunds, each of which at all times shall be solely for the account and entitlement of the Borrower.

 ARTICLE VIII. 
 The Agents
and the Arrangers 
 Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (for
purposes of this Article VIII, the Administrative Agent and the 

  

 83 

 
Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the “Agents”) its agent and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to
exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Credit Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly
authorized by the Lenders to execute any and all documents (including releases and the Collateral Documents) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents. 
 Each bank serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any
of its respective Affiliates as if it were not an Agent hereunder. 
 No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly
set forth in the Credit Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent shall
have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is required to exercise in writing by the
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Credit Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to
disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as any Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in
Section 9.08) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and no
Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document
delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Credit Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or
genuineness of any Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Credit Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly
required to be delivered to such Agent. 
 Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any
notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper person. Each Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone
and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by
it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
  

 84 

 Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or
more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall
apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as
Agent. 
 Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, each Agent may resign at any time by notifying
the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Agent. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the
provisions of this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while acting
as Agent. 
 Each of the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Joint Bookrunners and the Documentation Agent, in its capacity as such, shall
have no duties or responsibilities, and shall incur no liability, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document. 
 Each Lender
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents, the Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents, the Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners, the Syndication Agent, the
Documentation Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Credit
Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 To the extent required by any applicable law, the
Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did
not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or 

  

 85 

 
because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax
ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all
expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

 SECTION 9.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants,
agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be considered to have been
relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued
interest on any Loan or any Fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Credit Document is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.13, 2.15, 2.19 and 9.05
shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the
invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers or any Lender. 
 SECTION 9.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each of the parties hereto and when
the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. 
 SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party;
and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and
assigns. 
 (b) Each Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent must (after having provided notice to the Borrower) give its prior written
consent to such assignment, (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) in the case of any assignment of a Liquidity Facility Commitment, the Borrower must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required to any such assignment during the continuance of any Default or in connection with the initial syndication of the Term Loan
Facility, (iii) the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if so
specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the “Trade Date” 

  

 87 

 
referred to therein) shall not be less than $1,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Commitment) and shall be in an amount
that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Commitment); provided that, multiple assignments to affiliates of the assigning Lender equaling more than $1,000,000 in the aggregate are
permitted; provided, however, that the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender may be less than $1,000,000 if such assignments are made to an affiliate of the assigning Lender and approved by the Administrative Agent,
(iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative
Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, (v) no consent or approval shall be required as to
any assignee that is an affiliate of the assigning lender (without limiting the requirement that the Administrative Agent execute each assignment prior to its effectiveness) and (vi) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender immediately prior
to the assignment, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Acceptance, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender
thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.15, 2.19 and 9.05, as well as to any Fees accrued for its account and
not yet paid). 
 (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder
shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse
claim and that its Term Loan Commitment and Liquidity Facility Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Term Loans and Liquidity Facility Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as
set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made
in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the
financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee
represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred
to in Section 4.02(p) or delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such
assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers, such assigning Lender or any other 

  

 88 

 
Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not
taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the
obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent, acting for
this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall
already be a Lender hereunder) and the written consent of the Administrative Agent to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register
and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e). 
 (f) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or
a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other entities shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions
contained in Sections 2.13, 2.15 and 2.19 to the same extent as if they were Lenders (but, with respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such participant) and (iv) the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce
the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans 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 Loans, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans, increasing or extending the Commitments or releasing any Collateral).

  

 89 

 (g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed
assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower;
provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Borrower as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall
agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.16. 
 (h) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support
of obligations owed by such Lender; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding
vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender
would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option
or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the
same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the
Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding
commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of
the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or
credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider
of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 
 (j) The Borrower shall not assign or delegate any of its rights
or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void. 
  

 90 

 SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to pay all out-of-pocket costs and
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Arrangers and the Joint Bookrunners in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein and the
preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall
be consummated) or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in
connection with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents or in connection with the Loans made, including in each case the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of Latham & Watkins LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent, and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Joint Bookrunners. 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Arrangers, the
Joint Bookrunners, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, disbursements and other charges, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or
delivery of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other
transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, or (iv) any
actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Substances on any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any Environmental Claim related in any way to the Borrower; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be
available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related costs and expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from primarily the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (and, upon any such determination, any indemnification payments with respect to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related costs and expenses previously received by such Indemnitee shall be subject to
reimbursement by such Indemnitee). 
 (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Joint Bookrunners under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Joint Bookrunners or the Arrangers,
as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss,
claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Joint Bookrunners, or the Arrangers in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a
Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the Aggregate Liquidity Facility Exposure, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time. 
  

 91 

 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and each hereby waives, any
claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (e) The provisions of this
Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions or the other transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans,
the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Joint Bookrunners, the Arrangers or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor. 
 SECTION 9.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and
from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the
credit or the account the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Credit Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any
demand under this Agreement or such other Credit Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such
Lender may have. 
 SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET
FORTH IN OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.
The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Credit Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any
provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
  

 92 

 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to
an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by, the Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled
principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, without the prior written consent of each Lender affected
thereby, (ii) increase or extend the Commitment or decrease or extend the date for payment of any Fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the pro rata requirements of
Section 2.16, the provisions of Section 9.04(j), the provisions of this Section or the definition of the term “Required Lenders,” without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) amend or modify the definition of
the term “Majority Facility Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (v) release all or any substantial part of the Collateral without the prior written consent of each Lender, (vi) change the
provisions of any Credit Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of one Class differently from the rights of Lenders holding Loans of any other Class without the prior
written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each adversely affected Class or (vii) modify the protections afforded to an SPC pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.04(i)
without the written consent of such SPC; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Credit Document
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent as applicable. 
 SECTION 9.09. Interest Rate
Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively
the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of
interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan
but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until
such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. 
 SECTION 9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Engagement Letter and the other Credit Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other
previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Credit Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer
upon any person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent,
the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners, and the Lenders) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents. 
  

 93 

 SECTION 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO
(A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11. 
 SECTION 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document should
be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 
 SECTION 9.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when

All principal payments under this Section 2.11 shall be without premium or penalty and shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest and Fees on such principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment. 
 SECTION 2.12. Mandatory Prepayments; Change of Control Prepayments. (a) Not later than the fifth Business Day following the completion of any
Asset Sale or not later than the tenth Business Day following the occurrence of any Recovery Event and, in each case, the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds resulting therefrom, the Borrower shall, apply the Required Prepayment Percentage of such Net Cash
Proceeds received with respect thereto to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.12(f). 
 (b) In the event and on
each occasion that an Equity Issuance other than a Permitted Holders Equity Issuance occurs, the Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the fifth Business Day next following) the occurrence of such Equity
Issuance other than a Permitted Holders Equity Issuance and the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds resulting therefrom, apply the Required Prepayment Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds therefrom to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with
Section 2.12(f). 
 (c) In the event that any Loan Party or any subsidiary of a Loan Party shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the
issuance or other incurrence of Indebtedness of any Loan Party or any subsidiary of a Loan Party (other than Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 6.01), the Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with (an in any event not later than
the fifth Business Day next following) the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by such Loan Party or such subsidiary subject to Section 2.11(b), apply an amount equal to the Required Prepayment Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay
outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.12(f); provided that nothing in this Section 2.12(c) shall be construed as permitting the issuance or other incurrence of Indebtedness except as otherwise permitted under
Section 6.01. 
 (d) No later than 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower, commencing on the fiscal quarter
ending on September 30, 2006, the Borrower shall: 
 (i) offer to each Lender to prepay such Lender’s outstanding
Term Loans (on a ratable basis with any offer required to be made to the Second Lien Lenders pursuant to the Second Lien Credit Agreement) in accordance with Section 2.12(f), in an aggregate principal amount offered that equals the Required

  

 27 

 
Prepayment Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal quarter then ended (it being understood and agreed that the calculation of Excess Cash Flow for the
fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2006 shall be measured for the period beginning with the Second Lien Closing Date and ending on September 30, 2006) (the sum of amounts offered for prepayment under this Section 2.12(d) but
rejected, together with amounts offered for prepayment under Section 2.12(d) of the Second Lien Credit Agreement but rejected, collectively, the “Rejected Excess Cash Prepayment Amount”); and 
 (ii) prepay each Lender’s outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.12(f), in an aggregate principal amount equal to
Retained Distributable Cash applicable to the first fiscal quarter of the period of four fiscal quarters then ending; provided, however, that no prepayment shall be required under this Section 2.12(d)(ii) until such time that four
consecutive fiscal quarters of the Borrower shall have elapsed and the Borrower shall have failed to deliver to the Administrative Agent the certification in Section 6.06 permitting the Borrower to make a Restricted Payment of Retained
Distributable Cash. 
 (e) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this
Section 2.12, (i) a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least 5 Business Days’ prior
written notice of such prepayment (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide the same to each Lender). Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Type of each Term Loan being prepaid (or being offered to be prepaid,
as applicable) and the principal amount of each Term Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid (or being offered to be prepaid, as applicable). All prepayments of Borrowings pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be subject to Section 2.15, but
shall otherwise be without premium or penalty. 
 (f) Mandatory prepayments under paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section
shall be applied to prepay outstanding Term Loans (and the corresponding accrued and unpaid interest and Fees on the principal amount of Term Loans so prepaid), with any remaining amounts following such application being retained by the Borrower.
Each offer to a Lender to prepay its Term Loans under paragraph (d)(i) of this Section 2.12 shall be in writing and shall be in an amount that corresponds to such Lender’s Pro Rata Portion of the total amount offered to be prepaid under
such paragraph. Each Lender shall respond to Borrower in writing to each such offer within ten (10) Business Days of receipt thereof; provided, however, that if any Lender does not so respond, such offer shall be deemed rejected.
Each mandatory prepayment under paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d)(ii) of this Section 2.12 shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reduce the Term Loans of each Lender in an amount that corresponds to such Lender’s Pro Rata
Portion of the total amount prepaid. 
 (g) If a Change of Control shall occur, the Borrower shall be obligated to make an offer to prepay
(the “Change of Control Offer”) each Lender’s outstanding Term Loans at a prepayment price (the “Change of Control Prepayment Price”) equal to such Lender’s outstanding Term Loans, without premium or
penalty, together accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the Change of Control Payment 

  

 28 

 
Date (as defined below) in accordance with the procedures that follow. Within 30 days of the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Borrower shall send by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Administrative Agent a notice stating (i) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 2.12(g) and that all Term Loans offered for prepayment will be accepted for
prepayment; (ii) the Change of Control Prepayment Price and the prepayment date (which shall be a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 45 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment
Date”)); (iii) that any Term Loan not prepaid shall continue to accrue interest; (iv) that, unless the Borrower defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Prepayment Price, any Term Loans accepted for prepayment
pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; and (v) any other procedures that a Lender must follow to accept a Change of Control Offer or effect withdrawal of such acceptance.
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Borrower shall (A) accept for payment Term Loans or portions thereof prepaid pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (B) deposit with the Administrative Agent an amount in dollars sufficient to
pay the Change of Control Prepayment Price of all Term Loans or portions thereof that have accepted the prepayment and (C) deliver to the Administrative Agent an officers’ certificate stating the amount of the Term Loans or portions
thereof prepaid by the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall promptly mail to each Lender that has so accepted payment in an amount equal to the principal amount for such Term Loans, and if requested by any Lender, the Borrower shall execute and
issue, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly mail to such Lender, a new promissory note equal in principal amount to any portion of the Term Loans held by such Lenders that has not been so prepaid in accordance with this Section.

 SECTION 2.13. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
if any Change in Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or the Administrative Agent (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate), or 
 (ii) impose on any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or
Eurodollar Term Loans made by such Lender, 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining
any Eurodollar Term Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Term Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount reasonably deemed by
such Lender or the Administrative Agent to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, as the case may be, for
such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall have determined that any Change
in Law regarding capital adequacy has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the 

  

 29 

 
Administrative Agent’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Term Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which
such Lender or the Administrative Agent or such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s policies
and the policies of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or the Administrative Agent to be material, then from time to time the Borrower shall pay
to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent or such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s holding company for any such
reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of the Lender or the Administrative Agent setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to
compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and showing the basis of the computation shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, the amount or amounts shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 Business Days after its receipt of the same.

 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not
constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender or the Administrative Agent under paragraph
(a) or (b) above for increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 180 days prior to such request if such Lender or the Administrative Agent knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the
circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided further that the
foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 180-day period. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender and the
Administrative Agent regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed. 
 SECTION 2.14. Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or to continue to fund or maintain any
Eurodollar Term Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Term Loan, then, unless such Lender is able to make or to continue to fund or to maintain such Eurodollar Term Loan at another branch or
office of such Lender without, in such Lender’s reasonable opinion, adversely affecting it or its Term Loans or the income obtained therefrom, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent: 
 (i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Term Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender
hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods and ABR Term Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Term Loans), whereupon any request for a 

  

 30 

 
Eurodollar Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period)
shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Term Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Term Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Term Loan into an ABR Term Loan, as the case may be), unless such
declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and 
 (ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Term Loans
made by it be converted to ABR Term Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Term Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Term Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below. 
 In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to
repay the Eurodollar Term Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Term Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Term Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of,
such Eurodollar Term Loans. Any such conversion of a Eurodollar Term Loan under (i) above shall be subject to Section 2.15. 
 (b)
For purposes of this Section 2.14, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Term Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Term Loan; in
all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower. 
 SECTION 2.15. Indemnity. The Borrower
shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such
Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Eurodollar Term Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Eurodollar Term Loan to an ABR Term Loan, or
the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Term Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor or (iii) any Eurodollar Term Loan to be made by such Lender (including any
Eurodollar Term Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such Term Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause
(a) being called a “Breakage Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as
reasonably determined by such Lender, of (A) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Term Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in
effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Term Loan over (B) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate
of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
  

 31 

 SECTION 2.16. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as required under Section 2.14 and under
Section 2.12, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest or Fees on the Term Loans, each reduction of the Term Loan Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of
any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Term Loan Commitments (or, if such Term Loan Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with
the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Term Loans). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s
percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount. 
 SECTION 2.17. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender
agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or
other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in
respect of any Term Loan as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Term Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Term Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased
from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Term Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans and participations in
Term Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Term Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Term Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim
or other event was to the principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments
shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.17 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or
adjustment restored without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Term Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s
lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Term Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 SECTION 2.18. Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other
amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each payment shall be made to the
Administrative Agent at its offices at 280 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10017. 
 (b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever
any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on
the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable. 
  

 32 

 SECTION 2.19. Taxes 
 (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be
made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, unless required by applicable law. If any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from such payments, then (i) the sum
payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions or withholding (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as
the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall make (or cause to be made) such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or such other
Loan Party shall pay (or cause to be paid) the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. In addition, the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder shall pay (or cause to be paid) any Other Taxes
to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and
each Lender, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, or any of their respective Affiliates, on or with respect to
any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and
any penalties, interest and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount
of such payment or liability, showing the basis and calculation thereof, delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (c) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to Section 2.19(a), the Borrower shall deliver (or cause
to be delivered) to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) If a Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund, which in its reasonable
discretion is attributable to any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or other Loan Party, it shall within 30 days from the date of such receipt pay over such refund to the relevant Borrower or Loan
Party, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or the Administrative Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund, so as to leave such Lender or the Administrative
Agent, as the case may be, in no worse position as it would have been without the imposition of such Indemnified Taxes or other Taxes). 
  

 33 

 (e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the
law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower or other Loan Party is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent),
at the reasonable written request of the Borrower, such properly completed and duly executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that such
documentation is not unduly burdensome on such Lender. In addition, each Foreign Lender shall furnish on or before it becomes a party to the Agreement either (i) two accurate and complete duly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN
(or successor form) or (ii) an accurate and complete U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or successor form), certifying, in either case, to such Foreign Lender’s legal entitlement to an exemption from or reduction in U.S. federal
withholding tax with respect to all interest payments hereunder; provided that any Foreign Lender that is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and is relying on the so-called “portfolio
interest exemption” shall also furnish a “Non-Bank Certificate” in the form of Exhibit I together with a Form W-8BEN. Any Lender providing forms or other documentation pursuant to Section 2.19 shall provide new copies of the
applicable forms on or before the date such forms expire or become obsolete and shall promptly notify the Borrower or the Administrative Agent if any form or other documentation previously submitted becomes incorrect. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this paragraph, a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver. 
 (f) Any Lender that is a United States person, as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code, shall deliver to the Borrower (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any successor form that such person is entitled to provide at such time in order to comply with United States back-up
withholding requirements. 
 (g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and
obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.19 shall survive the payment in full of all amounts due hereunder. 
 SECTION 2.20. Assignment of Term Loans Under Certain Circumstances; Non-Consenting Lenders; Duty to Mitigate. (a) In the event (i) any Lender delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.13,
(ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.14, (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority or the Administrative Agent on account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 2.19 or (iv) any Lender refuses to execute a proposed amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement requested by the Borrower which requires the consent of Lenders (other than the Required Lenders) to become effective (and
which is approved by at least the Required Lenders), the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee
that shall assume such assigned obligations and, in the case of replacements of Lenders pursuant to clause (iv) of this Section, that shall agree to execute such proposed amendment, modification or waiver (which assignee 

  

 34 

 
may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (A) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or
regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (B) solely with respect to replacements of Lenders pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section, the Borrower shall have received the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, and (C) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the
principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Term Loans of such Lender plus all Fees (including any applicable Prepayment Fees) and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender hereunder (including any
amounts under Section 2.13 and Section 2.15); provided further that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 2.13
or notice under Section 2.14 or the amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.19, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or
cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.14, or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.19, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender pursuant to paragraph (b) below),
or if such Lender shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.13 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.14 or shall waive its right to further payments under
Section 2.19 in respect of such circumstances or event, as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender agrees that if the Borrower exercises its rights of
assignment under this paragraph, it shall promptly execute and deliver all agreements and documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment as set forth in Section 9.04. In connection with any such replacement, if the replaced Lender does
not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement within five Business Days of the date on which the replacement Lender executes and
delivers such Assignment and Acceptance to the replaced Lender, then such replaced Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver
such Assignment and Acceptance and/or other documentation on behalf of such replaced Lender. 
 (b) If (i) any Lender shall request
compensation under Section 2.13, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.14 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority or to the Administrative
Agent on account of any Lender, pursuant to Section 2.19, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent
with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (A) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or (B) to assign
its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.13 or enable it to withdraw its notice
pursuant to Section 2.14 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.19, as the case may be, in the future. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.

perfected solely by filing a financing statement), when financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 3.19(a), the Lien created under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected

security interest may be perfected by filing a financing statement in such office in Delaware, and proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations, in each case prior and superior to the rights of any other person, except Permitted Liens that are

filing or recording office, such Mortgage shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the grantors thereof in such Mortgaged Property and proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations,
in each case prior and superior in right to any other person (except for Permitted Prior Liens). 
 (d) The Control Agreements are effective
to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid, binding and enforceable Lien on, and security interest in, all of the Loan Parties’ right, title and interest in and to each deposit
account or securities account of a Loan Party and proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations, in each case prior and superior to the rights of any other person (except, in the case of all Collateral other than Pledged Collateral, for
Permitted Liens and except, in the case of Pledged Collateral, for non-consensual Permitted Prior Liens).

payments made to employees of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Federal,
state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters. All payments due from the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against the Borrower or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and
other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower or such Subsidiary. The consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under
any collective bargaining agreement to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is bound. 
 SECTION 3.21. Liens. As of the
Restatement Date, there are no Liens of any nature whatsoever on any of the properties or assets of the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries (other than, in the case of Equity Interests in the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, the first priority Liens

the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.23. Solvency. Immediately
after the consummation of the Transactions to occur on the Restatement Date and immediately following the making of each Term Loan and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of each Term Loan, (a) the fair value of the assets of

subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (d) no Loan Party will have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now

regulation under certain sections of the FPA, including Section 301(c), and the Borrower will be required to demonstrate its continuing qualification for market-based rate authorization by FERC under the FPA.

 ARTICLE VIII. 
 The Agents and the Arranger

 Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (for purposes of this
Article VIII, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the “Agents”) its agent and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to
such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized by the Lenders to execute any and
all documents (including releases and the Security Documents) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security
Documents. 
 Each financial institution serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as
any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such financial institution and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or
any of their respective Affiliates as if it were not an Agent hereunder. 
 No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those
expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is
required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan
Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as any Agent or any
of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08). No Agent or any of its Related Parties shall be liable 

  

 64 

 
for any action taken or not taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except for any liability that is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until
written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and no Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan
Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any
Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan
Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. 
 Each Agent shall be entitled to rely
upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper person. Each Agent may
also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrower or any Subsidiary), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
 Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and
any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related
Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. 
 Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, each Agent may (and at any time if demanded by the Required Lenders
shall) resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor.
If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders,
appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with
all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to
its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.05 shall 

  

 65 

 
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by any of them while acting as Agent. 
 Each Arranger and the Syndication Agent, in its capacity as such, shall have no duties or
responsibilities, and shall incur no liability, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 Each Lender acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Agents, the Arranger, the Syndication Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.
Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents, the Arranger, the Syndication Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to
make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any
applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate
form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective or for any other reason,
such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses,
allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

 67 

 
Commitment and the Term Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an

(ii) in the case of any assignment to a person designated as an Ineligible Assignee at the time of such assignment, the Borrower must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or

(B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the
remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.15, 2.19 and 9.05, as well as to any

 (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender
thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned
thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Term Loan Commitment and the outstanding balances of its Term Loans, without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and
Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this
Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Borrower
or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or 
  

 68 

 
any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such
Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05 or delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 and
such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arranger, the Syndication Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to
the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the
obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent, acting for
this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Term Loan Commitment of, and principal amount of the Term Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Term Loans), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 (e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative
Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and the written consent of the Administrative Agent and (to the extent required hereby) the Borrower to such assignment, the Administrative
Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e).

 (f) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other
entities in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitment and the Term Loans); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other entities shall be entitled to the benefit of the
cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.13, 2.15 and 2.19 to the same extent as if they were Lenders (but, with respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such participant),
(iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly 

  

 69 

 
with such Lender in connection with such Lender’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 Term Loans 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 Term Loans, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Term Loans, increasing or extending the Term Loan Commitments or releasing
any material Guarantor (other than in connection with Asset Sales permitted by Section 6.05) or all or substantially all of the Collateral) and (v) the Borrower and any Loan Party shall have no obligations or duty to any participant except
as provided herein. 
 (g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or
participation pursuant to this Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that,
prior to any such disclosure of any Information (as defined in Section 9.16), each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to
customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.16. 
 (h) Except as provided in this Section 9.04, no Lender shall, as between the Borrower and that Lender, or Administrative Agent and that Lender, be
relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of, or granting of participation in, all or any part of the Term Loans or other Obligations owed to such Lender. 
 (i) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support
of obligations owed by such Lender; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding
vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Term Loan that such Granting
Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Term Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise
such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Term Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Term Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Term Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Term Loan
Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Term Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all
liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after
the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join 

  

 70 

 
any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the
United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Term Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or
credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Term Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Term Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer
or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 
 (k) The Borrower shall not assign or delegate any of
its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void. 
 SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Arranger in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein (including any assignment fees payable in connection with the initial syndication of
the facility pursuant to an electronic settlement system) and the preparation (provided that such fees, disbursements and other charges of Latham & Watkins LLP in connection with such preparation of this Agreement, the Second Lien
Credit Agreement, the Loan Documents and the Second Lien Loan Documents, together with associated local counsel fees, title insurance, real estate costs, disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses shall not in the aggregate exceed $220,000) and
administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Syndication Agent,
the Arranger or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Term Loans made hereunder, including in each case the reasonable fees,
disbursements and other charges of Latham & Watkins LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of any
counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Arranger or any Lender. 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to
indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Arranger, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold
each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related costs and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, disbursements and other charges (“Losses”) incurred by or
asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the
parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Term Loans, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation
or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or 

  

 71 

 
not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, or (iv) to the extent such Losses arise out of or relate to the Transactions, any actual or alleged presence or
Release of Hazardous Materials on any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not,
as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related costs and expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. 
 (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid
by them to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Syndication Agent or the Arranger under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Syndication Agent or the Arranger, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed
expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Syndication Agent or the Arranger in its capacity as such. For
purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the outstanding Term Loans and unused Term Loan Commitments at the time. 
 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Indemnified Party or the Borrower shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any
Indemnitee or other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions or any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (e) The provisions of this
Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions or the other transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Term
Loans, the expiration of the Term Loan Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Arranger or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor. 
 SECTION 9.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and apply any
and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the
Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such
obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees to promptly notify the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent in writing following any such set off; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application. 
  

 72 

 SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS
EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.
The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver
or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified (other than amendments made to correct
typographical errors which shall only require the written agreement of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided,
however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or date for the payment of any interest on any Term Loan, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the
rate of interest on any Term Loan (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates and except for any waiver with respect to mandatory prepayments under Section 2.13, which waiver in each
case shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders), without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) increase or extend the Term Loan Commitment or decrease or extend the date for payment of any Fees
of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the pro rata requirements of Section 2.17, the provisions of Section 9.04(k), the provisions of this Section or the definition of the term
“Required Lenders” insofar as such definition affects the substance of this Section, or release any material Guarantor, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) release all or substantially all of the Collateral
without the prior written consent of each Lender, or (v) modify the protections afforded to an SPC pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.04(j) without the written consent of such SPC; provided, further that no such
agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral
Agent. 
  

 73 

 SECTION 9.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if
at any time the interest rate applicable to any Term Loan, together with all Fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Term Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum
lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Term Loan with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Term Loan, together with
all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Term Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this
Section 9.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Term Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest
thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. Thereafter, interest hereunder shall be paid at the rate(s) of interest and in the manner provided in this Agreement, unless and until the
rate of interest again exceeds the Maximum Rate, and at that time this paragraph shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by any Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that such Lender could lawfully have
received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Rate. If the Maximum Rate is calculated pursuant to this paragraph, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Rate divided
by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.09, a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that a Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of
the Maximum Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, promptly apply such excess in the order specified in this Agreement and thereafter shall refund any excess to the Borrower or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may otherwise order. 
 SECTION 9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Fee Letter and the other Loan Documents
constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof and may not be modified, amended or waived except as set forth in Section 9.08. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders ) any rights,
remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 9.11. WAIVER OF
JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION,
SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11. 
  

 74 

 SECTION 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith
negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 
 SECTION 9.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each
of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement or of a Lender
Addendum by facsimile transmission or e-mail PDF delivery shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into
consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) The Borrower
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court
from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees
that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action
or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Syndication Agent, the Arranger or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may
now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
  

 75 

 (c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for
notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 
 SECTION 9.16. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders agree to use commercially reasonable efforts (equivalent to the efforts each such person applies to
maintain the confidentiality of its own confidential information) to maintain the confidentiality of all Information (defined below) for a period of two years following the receipt thereof, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its
and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) as on the advice of
counsel, to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process and, to the extent practicable, with prior notice to the Borrower so as to afford the Borrower the opportunity to seek a protective order
or other remedy aimed at protecting confidentiality, (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or
thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.16, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective obligations, (f) with the consent of
the Borrower or (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.16. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” shall mean all information received
from the Borrower and related to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that was available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Borrower.

 SECTION 9.17. Delivery of Lender Addenda. Each initial Lender shall become a party to this Agreement by delivering to the
Administrative Agent a Lender Addendum duly executed by such Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 9.18.
Separateness. The Lenders acknowledge (a) the separateness of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries from each other and from other persons, (b) that each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries have assets and liabilities that are separate
from those of each other and from those of other persons, (c) that the obligations of the Borrower and Guarantors under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any certificate, notice, instrument or document delivered pursuant hereto
or thereto are special obligations of the Borrower and Guarantors only and do not constitute a debt or obligation of (and no recourse shall be had with respect thereto, other than with respect to any Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired) any other person and (d) that the Lenders shall look solely to the Borrower and Guarantors and the Collateral for the repayment of any amounts payable pursuant to the Loan Documents and for satisfaction of any obligations owing to the
Lenders under the Loan Documents and that no other person shall be personally liable to the Lenders for any amounts payable or any liability under the Loan Documents. 
  

 76 

 SECTION 9.19. Amendment and Restatement. It is the intention of each of the parties hereto
that (a) the Original First Lien Credit Agreement be amended and restated in its entirety pursuant to this Agreement so as to preserve the perfection and priority of all security interests securing indebtedness and obligations under the
Original First Lien Credit Agreement, (b) all Indebtedness and Obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantor Subsidiaries hereunder shall be secured by the Liens evidences under the Security Documents and (c) this Agreement does not
constitute a novation or termination of the obligations and liabilities existing under the Original First Lien Credit Agreement (or serve to terminate Section 9.05 of the Original First Lien Credit Agreement or any of Borrower’s
obligations thereunder with respect to the Existing Lenders or the Lenders hereunder).
