ARTICLE II 

THE EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT 

Section 2.01 Commitment to Extend Credit. 

(a) Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make its Pro Rata Share of Advances (other than Swing
Line Advances) to the Borrower from time to time before the Termination Date; provided that, immediately after each such Advance is made, (i) with respect to each Lender individually, the Outstanding Credits of such Lender shall not
exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and (ii) with respect to the Lenders collectively, the aggregate Outstanding Credits shall not exceed the Lenders’ aggregate Commitment. 

(b) The Swing Line Bank agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make Swing Line Advances to the Borrower from time to
time before the Termination Date; provided that, immediately after each such Swing Line Advance is made: (i) the outstanding 

 

 16 

 
aggregate principal amount of the Swing Line Advances shall not exceed the Swing Line Commitment, (ii) with respect to each Lender individually, the Outstanding Credits of such Lender shall
not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and (iii) with respect to the Lenders collectively, the aggregate Outstanding Credits shall not exceed the Lenders’ aggregate Commitment. 

(c) Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow under this Section, repay or, to the extent permitted by Section 2.12,
prepay Advances and reborrow under this Section at any time before the Termination Date. 
 Section 2.02 Method of
Borrowing. 
 (a) Each Borrowing shall be made on a Business Day, upon notice from the Borrower to the Administrative
Agent, given (i) in the case of a Borrowing that is a Base Rate Advance, not later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing and (ii) in the case of a Borrowing that is a Eurodollar Rate Advance, not later
than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) by the Borrower shall be in substantially the form of
Exhibit A hereto, specifying therein the requested (A) date of such Borrowing, (B) Type of Advance to be made in connection with such Borrowing, (C) aggregate amount of such Borrowing and (D) in the case of a Borrowing comprising
Eurodollar Rate Advances, initial Interest Period for each such Advance. The Administrative Agent shall give notice to each Lender promptly upon receipt of each Notice of Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.02(a), the contents thereof and each
such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing to be made pursuant thereto. Each Lender shall, before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, and 3:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the
date of such Borrowing in the case of Base Rate Advances, make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower in same day funds, the proceeds of such Borrowing. Such Borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the
Administrative Agent by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent (or at
such other location as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent). 
 (b) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be
irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to comprise Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify the applicable Lender against any loss, cost or expense
incurred by such Leader as a result of any failure of the Borrower to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Advances, the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss
(excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance is not made on such date. 

(c) Each Borrowing (whether for a Base Rate Advance or a Eurodollar Rate Advance) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000
or any multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (except that any such Borrowing may be in the aggregate amount of the unutilized Commitment on such date). 
  

 17 

 Section 2.03 Method of Swing Line Borrowing. 

(a) Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made on a Business Day, upon notice from the Borrower to the Swing Line Bank, given not later than
12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing. Each such notice of a Swing Line Borrowing (a “Notice of Swing Line Borrowing”) by the Borrower shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A
hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Swing Line Borrowing and (ii) aggregate amount of such Swing Line Borrowing. The Swing Line Bank shall, before 4:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Swing Line
Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower in same day funds, the proceeds of such Swing Line Borrowing. Such Swing Line Borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent by
crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Swing Line Bank and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. For purposes of
determining the amount of Outstanding Credits of any Lender and the amount of unutilized Commitments, each Swing Line Borrowing made by the Swing Line Bank will be deemed to comprise outstanding Advances of the Lenders made in accordance with their
Pro Rata Percentages. 
 (b) Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or any multiple
of $500,000 in excess thereof, or such lesser amount as shall be equal to the aggregate amount of the unutilized Commitment on such date. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.03 above to the contrary: 

 

	 	(i)	the aggregate amount of the Swing Line Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swing Line Commitment; and 

 

	 	(ii)	no more than one Swing Line Advance may be made on the same Business Day. 

(d) Upon request by the Swing Line Bank with an outstanding Swing Line Advance, and notwithstanding whether a Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, each other Lender shall purchase from the Swing Line Bank, and the Swing Line Bank shall sell and assign to each such other Lender, such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Swing Line Advance
as of the date of such demand, by making available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Bank, by deposit to the Administrative Agent’s account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the sum of (i) the portion of
the outstanding principal amount of such Swing Line Advance to be purchased by such Lender, plus (ii) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Swing Line Advance. Each
Lender agrees to purchase its Pro Rata Share of an outstanding Swing Line Advance upon notice given not later than one Business Day prior to the Business Day of proposed purchase. Upon any such assignment by the Swing Line Bank to any other Lender
of a portion of a Swing Line Advance, the Swing Line Bank represents 
  

 18 

 
and warrants to such other Lender that the Swing Line Bank is the legal and beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it, but makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to such Swing Line Advance or the applicable Loan Documents. If and to the extent that any Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Swing Line Advance available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by the Swing Line Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate;
provided, that if payment is not made within three Business Days of demand, interest thereon shall accrue at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage for Swing Line Advances for each day thereafter. If such Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent such amount for the account of the Swing Line Bank, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Swing Line Advance by such Lender for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the
Swing Line Advance made by the Swing Line Bank shall be reduced by such amount. 
 (e) The Swing Line Bank may resign at any
time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, with any such resignation to become effective only upon the appointment of a successor Swing Line Bank pursuant to this Section 2.03(e). Upon any such resignation, the
Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Swing Line Bank, which shall be a Lender or an Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor Swing Line Bank shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall
have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Swing Line Bank’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Swing Line Bank may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Swing Line Bank, which shall be a Lender
or an Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Borrower. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Swing Line Bank hereunder by a successor Swing Line Bank, such successor Swing Line Bank shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swing Line Bank. 
 Section 2.04 Letters of Credit. 

(a) In addition to the LC Issuing Banks named herein, the Borrower may from time to time appoint one or more other Lenders (with the
consent of any such Lender, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of each Lender) to act, either directly or through an Affiliate of such Lender, as an LC Issuing Bank hereunder. Any such appointment and the terms thereof shall be
evidenced in a separate written agreement executed by the Borrower and the relevant LC Issuing Bank, a copy of which agreement shall be delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice of any
such appointment to the other Lenders. Upon such appointment, if and for so long as such Lender shall have any obligation to issue any Letters of Credit hereunder or any Letter of Credit issued by such Lender shall remain outstanding, such Lender
shall be deemed to be, and shall have all the rights and obligations of, an “LC Issuing Bank” under this Agreement. 

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Letter of Credit shall be issued (or the stated maturity thereof extended or terms
thereof modified or amended) on not less than one Business Day’s prior notice thereof by delivery of (x) a Request for Issuance to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly distribute copies thereof to the Lenders) and the relevant LC
Issuing Bank, and (y) if requested by such LC Issuing Bank, a letter of credit 
  

 19 

 
application or other standard form required by the relevant Issuing Bank to such Issuing Bank. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued in a form acceptable to the relevant LC Issuing Bank. Each
Request for Issuance shall specify (i) the identity of the relevant LC Issuing Bank, (ii) the date (which shall be a Business Day) of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or the date of effectiveness of such extension, modification or
amendment) and the stated expiry date thereof (which shall not be later than the earlier of (A) one year after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) unless cash collateralized prior to five Business Days prior to the
Termination Date, the fifth Business Day preceding the Termination Date); provided, however, that a Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for
additional consecutive periods of one year or less (but not beyond the date specified in clause (B) above) unless the relevant LC Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least 30 days prior to the then-applicable expiration date that
such Letter of Credit will not be renewed), (iii) the proposed stated amount of such Letter of Credit (which amount shall not be subject to any automatic increase provisions), (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of
Credit and (v) a statement of drawing conditions applicable to such Letter of Credit, and if such Request for Issuance relates to an amendment or modification of a Letter of Credit, it shall be accompanied by the consent of the beneficiary of
the Letter of Credit thereto. Each Request for Issuance shall be delivered by the Borrower no later than 11:00 AM on the Business day immediately prior to the proposed date of issuance (or effectiveness) specified therein. Not later than 12:00 noon
on the proposed date of issuance (or effectiveness) specified in such Request for Issuance, and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions precedent and the other requirements set forth herein, the relevant LC Issuing Bank shall issue (or extend,
amend or modify) such Letter of Credit and provide notice and a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly furnish copies thereof to the Lenders; provided that the relevant LC Issuing Bank shall not issue or amend any
Letter of Credit if such LC Issuing Bank has received notice from the Administrative Agent that the applicable conditions precedent have not been satisfied. 

(c) No Letter of Credit shall be requested or issued hereunder if, after the issuance thereof, (i) the Outstanding Credits would
exceed the aggregate Commitments or (ii) the LC Outstandings would exceed $150,000,000. 
 (d) The Borrower hereby agrees
to pay (through the proceeds of a Borrowing or otherwise) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each LC Issuing Bank and, if any Lender shall have purchased a participation in the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower pursuant to
subsection (e) below, such participating Lender, no later than one Business Day following receipt of notice by such LC Issuing Bank to the Borrower, on and after each date on which such LC Issuing Bank shall pay any amount under any Letter of
Credit issued by such LC Issuing Bank, a sum equal to the amount so paid plus interest on such amount from the date so paid by such LC Issuing Bank until repayment to such LC Issuing Bank in full at a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal to the
interest rate applicable to Base Rate Advances plus, if any amount paid by such LC Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit is not reimbursed by the Borrower within three Business Days, 2%, unless refinanced with an Advance. 

(e) If any LC Issuing Bank shall not have been reimbursed in full for any payment made by such LC Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit
issued by such LC Issuing Bank on the date payment is due from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.04, such LC Issuing Bank shall 

 

 20 

 
give the Administrative Agent and each Lender prompt notice thereof (an “LC Payment Notice”) no later than 12:00 noon on the Business Day immediately succeeding such
payment date. Each Lender severally agrees to purchase a participation in the reimbursement obligation of the Borrower to such LC Issuing Bank by paying to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuing Bank an amount equal to such
Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such unreimbursed amount paid by such LC Issuing Bank, plus interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from the date of the payment by such LC Issuing Bank to the date of payment
to such LC Issuing Bank by such Lender. Each such payment by a Lender shall be made not later than 3:00 P.M. on the Business Day on which such Lender shall have received an LC Payment Notice from such LC Issuing Bank. Each Lender’s obligation
to make each such payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuing Bank shall be several and shall not be affected by the occurrence or continuance of a Default or the failure of any other Lender to make any payment under this
Section 2.04(e). Each Lender further agrees that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 

(f) The failure of any Lender to make any payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of any LC Issuing Bank in accordance with
subsection (e) above shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make payment, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender. If any Lender (a “non-performing Lender”) shall fail to
make any payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of any LC Issuing Bank in accordance with subsection (e) above within five Business Days after the LC Payment Notice relating thereto, then, for so long as such failure shall
continue, such LC Issuing Bank shall be deemed, for purposes of Sections 6.01 and 7.04 hereof, to be a Lender owed a Borrowing in an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount due and payable by such non-performing Lender to the Administrative
Agent for the account of such LC Issuing Bank pursuant to subsection (e) above. Any non-performing Lender and the Borrower (without waiving any claim against such Lender for such Lender’s failure to purchase a participation in the
reimbursement obligations of the Borrower under subsection (e) above) severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuing Bank forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon for each day from
the date such Lender would have purchased its participation had it complied with the requirements of subsection (e) above until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate
applicable at the time to Base Rate Advances plus, if any amount paid by such LC Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit is not reimbursed by the Borrower within three Business Days, 2%, in accordance with Section 2.04(d), and (ii) in the
case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. 
 (g) The payment obligations of each Lender under Section 2.04(e) and of the
Borrower under this Agreement in respect of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without
limitation, the following circumstances: 
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any
other agreement or instrument relating thereto or to such Letter of Credit; 
 (ii) any amendment or waiver of,
or any consent to departure from, the terms of this Agreement or such Letter of Credit; 
  

 21 

 (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the
Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary, or any transferee, of such Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any LC Issuing Bank, or any other Person, whether in connection
with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, thereby or by such Letter of Credit, or any unrelated transaction; 

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

(vi) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit by, or any act or omission of, the beneficiary of any Letter of
Credit (or any Person for which the beneficiary may be acting); or 
 (vii) any other circumstance or happening
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 
 (h) Without limiting any other provision of this
Section 2.04, for purposes of this Section 2.04, any LC Issuing Bank may rely upon any oral, telephonic, telegraphic, facsimile, electronic, written or other communication believed in good faith to have been authorized by the Borrower,
whether or not given or signed by an authorized Person of the Borrower. 
 (i) The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and
omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit. Neither any LC Issuing Bank, the Lenders nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or Affiliates shall be liable or responsible for (i) the use that
may be made of such Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee thereof in connection therewith; (ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents
should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (iii) payment by any LC Issuing Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, including failure of any
documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit; or (iv) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under such Letter of Credit, except that the Borrower and each Lender shall have the
right to bring suit against each LC Issuing Bank, and each LC Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrower and any Lender, to the extent of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower or such Lender that the Borrower or
such Lender proves were caused by such LC Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, including, in the case of the Borrower, such LC Issuing Bank’s (x) failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other
documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof or (y) failure to make timely payment under such Letter of Credit following the presentation to it by the beneficiary thereof of a draft and accompanying certificate(s)
that strictly comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, 

 

 22 

 
each LC Issuing Bank may accept sight drafts and accompanying certificates presented under the Letter of Credit issued by such LC Issuing Bank that appear on their face to be in order, without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and payment against such documents shall not constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence by such LC Issuing Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) shall be obligated to indemnify the Borrower for damages caused by any LC Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. 

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, on the first date on which the conditions precedent listed in Sections
3.01 and 3.02(b), (c) and (d) shall be satisfied, the letters of credit described in Schedule 2.04(j) shall be deemed to be “Letters of Credit” issued hereunder, resulting in Extensions of Credit on such date hereunder; and on
such date the Administrative Agent shall confirm in writing to the Borrower and the relevant LC Issuing Banks the occurrence of such Extensions of Credit. 

Section 2.05 Increase of the Commitments. 

(a) The Borrower may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and executed by the Borrower and one or more
financial institutions (any such financial institution referred to in this paragraph (a) being called a “Designated Lender”), which may include any Lender, cause new Commitments to be extended by the Designated Lenders
(or cause the Commitments of the Designated Lenders to be increased, as the case may be); provided that (i) at no time shall the aggregate amount of all extensions of new Commitments and increases in existing Commitments effected
pursuant to this paragraph (a) exceed $200,000,000 and (ii) each Designated Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall (A) be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld) and (B) execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Commitment or Commitments of such Designated Lender and/or its status as a Lender hereunder. Extensions of new Commitments and
increases in existing Commitments pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall become effective on the date specified in the applicable notice delivered by the Borrower. The Borrower shall deliver a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of
the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, dated as of the effective date of such additional Commitments, stating that all representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in Article IV of this Agreement (with all references in such Article
to a Borrowing or Swing Line Borrowing being deemed to be references to the increase of the Commitments) are true in all material respects as if made on and as of such effective date. 

(b) Promptly following the effective date of any Commitment increase pursuant to this Section 2.05, (i) the Administrative
Agent shall distribute an amended Schedule I to this Agreement (which shall thereafter be incorporated into this Agreement) to reflect any changes in Lenders, the Commitments and each Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage as of such effective date,
(ii) the Borrower shall prepay to certain Lenders such amount of any Advances as may be then outstanding (without regard to minimum prepayment amounts pursuant to Section 2.12, but including any additional amounts required pursuant to
Section 2.13) as are necessary so that, after giving effect to such prepayments and any borrowings on such date of all or any portion of such Commitment increase, the principal balance of all outstanding Advances owing to each Lender is
equivalent to each such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage (after giving effect to any 
  

 23 

 
nonratable Commitment increase in the Commitment resulting from a Commitment increase pursuant to this Section 2.05) of all then outstanding Advances. Prepayments made under this clause
(b)(ii) shall not be subject to the notice requirements of Section 2.12. 
 (c) Notwithstanding any provision contained
herein to the contrary, from and after the date of any Commitment increase and the making of any Advances on such date pursuant to clause (b)(ii) above, all calculations and payments of fees and of interest on the Advances shall take into account
the actual Commitment of each Lender and the principal amount outstanding of each Advance made by such Lender during the relevant period of time. 

Section 2.06 Maturity of Advances; Extension and Termination of Commitment. 

(a) Each Advance shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable in full, and the Commitments and the Swing Line
Commitment shall terminate, on the Termination Date. 
 (b) The Borrower may request up to two one-year extensions of the
Termination Date in effect on the date of any such request (the “Current Termination Date”) (notice of the exercise of which shall be given by the Borrower in writing (i) in the case of the first extension (until the
sixth anniversary of the date hereof), at least 30 days prior to the first anniversary of the date hereof and (ii) in the case of the second extension (until the seventh anniversary of the date hereof, if the first extension was exercised, or
the sixth anniversary of the date hereof if the first extension was not exercised) at least 30 days prior to the second anniversary of the date hereof) of the Commitments. Upon the delivery of such a written request by an authorized officer of the
Borrower (an “Extension Request”), the Administrative Agent promptly shall deliver a copy of such Extension Request to each of the Lenders. Each Lender, acting in its sole discretion, shall by notice made in writing and
delivered to the Administrative Agent on a Business Day not more than 30 days following the date of such Extension Request, advise the Administrative Agent whether such Lender agrees to such extension (each Lender agreeing to an Extension Request
within such timeframe being referred to herein as an “Extending Lender”, and each Lender declining to agree to an Extension Request within such timeframe being referred to herein as a “Non-Extending Lender”).
The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to agree. 
 (c) If Lenders
constituting the Required Lenders shall not have agreed to the Extension Request on the 30th day following the date of such Extension Request, then the Current Termination Date shall not be so extended, the principal amount of all Advances and all
other amounts payable under this Agreement shall be payable in full and the Commitment shall terminate on the Current Termination Date. 

(d) If Lenders constituting the Required Lenders shall have agreed to the Extension Request on or prior to the 30th day following the
date of such Extension Request, then the Termination Date applicable to Extending Lenders shall be extended to be the day that is one year after the Current Termination Date. In the event of such extension, the Commitments of each Non-Extending
Lender shall terminate on the Current Termination Date, the principal amount of all Advances and other amounts payable to each Non-Extending Lender under this Agreement shall be payable in full on the Current Termination Date, and the Lenders’
aggregate Commitment shall be reduced by the amount of the Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender unless such Non-Extending Lender is replaced pursuant to subsection (e) below. 

 

 24 

 (e) In the event that the Termination Date is extended under subsection (d) above, the
Borrower shall have the right, on or before the Current Termination Date, at the Borrower’s sole expense and effort, to require any Non-Extending Lender to assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement; provided, that such assignment shall be in accordance with, and subject to the requirements and restrictions contained in Section 7.05. 

(f) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.06, no extension of the Termination Date shall become
effective unless, on the Current Termination Date, (i) the conditions set forth in subsections (b) and (c) of Section 3.02 (with all references in such subsections to a Borrowing or Swing Line Borrowing being deemed to be
references to the extension of the Termination Date) shall be satisfied, and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect, dated the Current Termination Date and executed on behalf of the Borrower by an authorized
officer of the Borrower, (ii) if requested by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall have received an opinion of counsel for the Borrower, as to such matters as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, and
(iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received certified copies of all governmental approvals (if any) required for each of the Borrower and the Parent in connection with such extension. 

Section 2.07 Evidence of Advances. 

(a) Each Lender shall maintain an account or accounts evidencing each Advance made by such Lender to the Borrower from time to time,
including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. Each Lender will make reasonable efforts to maintain the accuracy of its account or accounts, and to update promptly its account
or accounts from time to time, as necessary. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to
Section 7.05(c) and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date, amount and Period, if applicable, of each Advance, and whether such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a
Eurodollar Rate Advance or a Swing Line loan, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder
from or for the account of the Borrower and each Lender’s percentage share thereof. The Administrative Agent will make reasonable efforts to maintain the accuracy of the subaccounts referred to in the preceding sentence and to update promptly
such subaccounts from time to time, as necessary. 
 (c) The entries made in the Register and subaccounts maintained pursuant to
subsection (b) of this Section 2.07, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of such obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of
the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain any such Register, subaccount or account, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Advances in accordance with the terms
thereof. 
  

 25 

 (d) Upon the request of any Lender, which request shall be made through the Administrative
Agent to the Borrower, the Borrower shall deliver to such Lender a duly executed Note in the form of Exhibit D with appropriate insertions as to dates and principal amounts. 

Section 2.08 Interest Rates. 

(a) The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance from and including the date of such Advance to but
excluding the date such Advance shall be paid in full (provided, however, that if the principal amount of any Advance is borrowed and repaid on the same day, the Borrower shall pay interest on such principal amount at the applicable interest
rate for such day), at the following rates per annum: 
  

	 	(i)	if such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a variable rate per annum equal at all times to the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Percentage,
payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date while such Base Rate Advance is outstanding and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full; 

 

	 	(ii)	if such Advance is a Eurodollar Rate Advance, a fixed rate per annum during each Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advance equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such
Interest Period plus the Applicable Percentage, payable on the last day of the Interest Period (and, in the case of any Interest Period of more than three months’ duration, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months
after the first day of such Interest Period) and on the date such Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full; and 

  

	 	(iii)	if such Advance is a Swing Line Advance, a variable rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage for Base Rate Advances, payable quarterly in
arrears on each Payment Date while such Swing Line Advance is outstanding and on the date such Swing Line Advance shall be paid in full. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower
hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any
Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Advance as provided in the subsection (a) above or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances as provided in subsection (a) above.

 Section 2.09 Fees 

(a) The Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a facility fee (the
“Facility Fee”) equal to the product of (i) the average daily amount of 
  

 26 

 
the Commitments (regardless of usage), times (ii) a per annum percentage equal to the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time. The Facility Fee shall accrue from and
including the date hereof to but excluding the Termination Date and shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date and on the Termination Date; provided that if the Commitments are terminated at any time prior to the Termination Date for
any reason, the entire accrued and unpaid Facility Fee shall be paid on the date of such termination. 
 (b) The Borrower shall
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a fee (the “LC Fee”) on the average daily amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the LC Outstandings from the date hereof until the later to occur of the
Termination Date and the date on which no Letters of Credit are outstanding, payable in arrears on each Payment Date and on such later date, at a rate equal at all times to the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time for Eurodollar Rate
Advances. 
 (c) The Borrower shall pay to each LC Issuing Bank such fees for the issuance and maintenance of Letters of Credit
issued by such LC Issuing Bank and for drawings thereunder as may be separately agreed between the Borrower and such LC Issuing Bank. 

(d) In addition to the fees provided for in subsections (a) through (c) above, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative

Section 2.10 Termination or Reduction of Commitment 

(a) The Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Lender, terminate at any time, or reduce from time to time by
an aggregate amount of at least $5,000,000 (and integrals of $1,000,000 in excess thereof), the Commitment or the Swing Line Commitment. 

(b) On each Mandatory Commitment Reduction Date, the Commitments of the Lenders shall reduce automatically by an amount equal to the
Mandatory Commitment Reduction Amount in respect thereof. Promptly following any Mandatory Commitment Reduction Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent notice of any reduction in the Commitments on such date pursuant to this
subsection (b). 
 (c) All accrued Facility Fees (as provided under Section 2.09) on the Commitment (in the case of a
termination of the Commitment) or on the portion of the Commitment being reduced (in the case of a reduction of the Commitment) under this Section 2.10 shall be payable on the effective date of such reduction or termination. In the event the
Commitment of the Swing Line Bank, in its capacity as a Lender, is reduced at any time below the Swing Line Commitment as a result of a reduction of the Commitment by the Borrower under this Section 2.10, the Swing Line Commitment automatically
shall be reduced to equal the Commitment of the Lender that is the Swing Line Bank. 
 Section 2.11 Mandatory
Prepayments 
 (a) On each date on which the Commitment is reduced pursuant to Section 2.10, the Borrower shall
repay or prepay such principal amount of the outstanding Advances, if any 
  

 27 

 
(together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment and any compensation payable pursuant to Section 2.13), and/or deposit funds in the Cash Collateral Account in respect of
undrawn Letters of Credit outstanding on such date, as may be necessary so that after such payment and/or deposit, the Outstanding Credits do not exceed the amount of the Commitment as then reduced. 

(b) On each date on which the Swing Line Commitment is reduced pursuant to Section 2.10, the Borrower shall repay or prepay such
principal amount outstanding of Swing Line Advances, if any (together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment), as may be necessary so that after such payment the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Swing Line Advances does not
exceed the amount of the Swing Line Commitment as then reduced. 
 Section 2.12 Optional Prepayments. The
Borrower may, (a) upon (i) at least one Business Day’s notice to the Lender in the case of any Base Rate Advance or (ii) notice delivered not later than 11:00 A.M. New York City time on the date of prepayment in the case of any
Swing Line Advance, and (b) upon at least two Business Days notice in the case of any Eurodollar Rate Advance, prepay any such Advance in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating at least $5,000,000 (and integrals

Section 2.13 Compensation after Prepayment or Conversion. The Borrower shall, upon the demand of any Lender, pay to
such Lender any amounts which are required to compensate such Lender for any losses, costs or expenses which it may reasonably incur as a result of the optional or mandatory prepayment or Conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Advance, on any date other
than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, or the failure to prepay any Advance on the date of prepayment specified in any notice of prepayment, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or
expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Advance. 

Section 2.14 General Provisions as to Payments. 

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Advances, the LC Fee and the Facility Fees hereunder not
later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date when due in federal or other funds immediately available without setoff or counterclaim to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender at its Lending Office. Upon receipt by the
Administrative Agent of each such payment, the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Lender, at its Domestic Lending Office, its Pro Rata Share of such payment, including, without limitation, each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Swing Line
Advances purchased by such Lender in accordance with Section 2.03(d). If and to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall not have so distributed to any Lender, at its Domestic Lending Office, its Pro Rata Share of such payment, the
Administrative Agent agrees to pay to such Lender forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by such Lender until the date such amount is paid to such Lender, at the Federal Funds Rate.

  

 28 

 (b) Subject to the qualifications set forth in the definition of “Interest
Period,” whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or of Facility Fees or the LC Fee payable hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time. 

Section 2.15 Computation of Interest and Fees. 

(a) The Facility Fees and the LC Fee payable hereunder and interest on Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be computed on the basis of a year
of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. 
 (b) Interest on Base Rate Advances and Swing Line Advances shall
be computed on the basis of a 365-or 366-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed for so long as the Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate and on the basis of a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed so long as the
Base Rate is based on the Federal Funds Rate. 
 Section 2.16 Compensation, Additional Interest. 

(a) If any Lender shall have determined that after the date hereof the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding
capital adequacy, or any change in any existing or future law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive regarding capital
adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any Authority, other than as described in subsection (b) of this Section 2.16, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence
of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such
Lender to be material, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for
such reduction; provided the Borrower shall have no liability hereunder for any amount allocable to a period earlier than 180 days before the date of such demand. If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of the
Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16, then such Lender will agree to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its applicable Lending Office so as to
eliminate or reduce such additional payment amount which it may thereafter accrue, if such change, in the judgment of such Lender, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 

(b) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender within 15 days after demand by such Lender, so long as such Lender shall be required under
regulations of the Board to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Advance for the Interest Period of
such Advance, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period for such Advance from (ii) the rate obtained by dividing such Eurodollar Rate by a
percentage equal to 100% minus the 
  

 29 

 
Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage for such Interest Period, payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Eurodollar Rate Advance; provided that Borrower shall have no liability
hereunder for any amount allocable to an Interest Period ending earlier than 180 days before the date of the demand. 
 (c)
Subject to Section 7.05(e), the provisions of this Section 2.16 shall be applicable with respect to any Participant or Assignee, and any calculations required by such provisions shall be based upon the circumstances of such Participant or
Assignee. 
 Section 2.17 Taxes 

(a) Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and
the Administrative Agent, (i) taxes imposed on its income and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is
organized or any political division thereof, (ii) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction described in clause (i) above and (iii) in the case of a Foreign
Lender, any withholding tax that is in effect and would apply to amounts payable to such Foreign Lender (other than an Assignee pursuant to a request by the Borrower under Section 2.23) at the time such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this
Agreement (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent of any additional amounts to which such Foreign Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment), to receive from
the Borrower with respect to any withholding tax pursuant to this Section 2.17(a) (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as
“Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable
shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) such Lender or the Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable
law, and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 7.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. 

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property
taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred
to as “Other Taxes”). 
 (c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent
for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.17) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the
case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. 
  

 30 

 (d) Each Lender that is not a United States person under Section 7701(a)(30) of the
Code (each, a “Foreign Lender”), on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender
the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent with (i) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the
United States is a party which reduces to zero the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United
States, (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, and/or (iii) any other form or certificate required by any taxing authority (including any certificate
required by Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code), certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. 

(e) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the appropriate
form pursuant to Section 2.17(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to
indemnification under Section 2.17(a) or 2.17(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure
to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes. 

(f) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17, then
such Lender will agree to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which
may thereafter accrue if such change, in the judgment of such Lender, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 
 (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 2.17 shall survive the repayment of the Advances and other obligations under the Loan
Documents and the termination of the Commitment hereunder. 
 (h) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a refund in
respect of Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Borrower, which in the good faith judgment of the Administrative Agent or such Lender is allocable to such payment, it shall promptly pay such refund (together with any amounts received solely attributable
to such refund) to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any taxes to which such Lender has become subject as a result of its receipt 

 

 31 

 
of such refund) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender incurred in obtaining such refund and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect
to such refund); provided, however, that the Borrower agrees to promptly return such refund (plus all out-of-pocket expenses including any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) to the Administrative
Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, if it receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender that the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority. Nothing
contained in this Section 2.17(h) shall require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems to be confidential) to the Borrower or any other person.

 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if the Internal Revenue Service determines that a Lender is
participating in a conduit financing arrangement as defined in Section 7701(1) of the Code and the regulations thereunder (a “Conduit Financing Arrangement”), any taxes that the Borrower is required to withhold from
payments to such Lender in excess of the amount of taxes the Borrower would otherwise be required to withhold if such Lender were not participating in a Conduit Financing Arrangement shall be excluded from the definition of “Taxes”. Each
Lender represents that it is not participating in a Conduit Financing Arrangement with respect to the Advances as of the date hereof. 

Section 2.18 Interest Rate Determination. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Borrower that the adoption of or any change in the
interpretation or administration of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make
Eurodollar Rate Advances, or to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, (i) the obligation of such Lender to make or to Convert Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until such Lender shall notify the Borrower
that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and (ii) the Borrower shall forthwith prepay in full all Eurodollar Rate Advances, together with interest thereon, unless (A) the Borrower, within five Business Days of notice
from such Lender, converts all such Eurodollar Rate Advances then outstanding into Base Rate Advances in accordance with Section 2,19, or (B) the applicable Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances causing such prepayment no
longer exist. Each Lender shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if the making of such change would avoid or eliminate such
illegality and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 

Section 2.19 Conversion of Advances. 

(a) The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on
the third Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into Eurodollar Rate Advances and on the Business Day of any proposed Conversion into Base Rate Advances subject to the provisions of Section 2.18, Convert all Advances of one
Type into Advances of another Type or Types or Advances of the same Type having the same or a new Interest Period; provided that no Advance shall be converted to a 

 

 32 

 
Eurodollar Rate Advance if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date
of such Conversion, (ii) the Advances to be Converted and (iii) if such Conversion is into, or with respect to Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the Interest Period for each such Advance. 

(b) If the Borrower shall fail to select the Type of any Advance or the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advance
in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” and subsection (a) of this Section 2.19 or if any proposed Conversion of an Advance to a Eurodollar Rate Advance upon Conversion shall not occur
as a result of the circumstances described in Section 2.18 or subsection (c) of this Section 2.19, such Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then-existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance.

 (c) Each notice of Conversion given pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 2.19 shall be irrevocable and
binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Advance that is to be converted to a Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders against any loss, cost or expense incurred by the Lenders as a result of any failure to fulfill on the
date specified for such Conversion the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits
or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund such Eurodollar Rate Advance, upon such Conversion, when such Conversion, as a result of such failure, does not occur. The Borrower’s obligations under this subsection (c) shall survive the
repayment of all other amounts owing to the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the termination of the Commitment. 

(d) No more than 12 Types of Eurodollar Rate Advances may be outstanding at any time. 

(e) References in this Section 2.19 to “Advances” and “Types of Advances” shall not include the Swing Line
Advances. 
 Section 2.20 Set off. Each Lender may at any time upon or after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, and without notice to the Borrower, set-off against the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement the whole or any portion or portions of any or all deposits and other sums credited by or due from such
Lender to the Borrower or subject to withdrawal by the Borrower, whether or not any other Person or Persons could also withdraw money therefrom. 

Section 2.21 Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: 

(a) Advances. Each payment or prepayment of principal of any Advance, and each payment of interest on the Advances, shall be
allocated first to the payment or prepayment of principal of, or interest on, the Swing Lines Advances; and second, pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Advances. Each payment of the
Facility Fee and the LC Fee, each reduction of the Commitments and each conversion or extension of any Advance shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages. 

 

 33 

 (b) Advances. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by
any Lender prior to a Borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount
available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within
the time period specified therefor hereunder, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent, at a
rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate; provided, however, that if payment is not made within three Business Days of demand, interest shall accrue at the rate applicable at that time to the Advances made in connection with such Borrowing. If
such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of the date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover, on demand,
such amount with interest thereon, for the period until the Borrower makes such repayment amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent, at the rate applicable at that time to the Advances made in connection with such Borrowing. A
certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 

Section 2.22 Sharing of Payments. The Lenders agree among themselves that, in the event that any Lender shall obtain
payment in respect of any Advance or any other obligation owing to such Lender under this Agreement through the exercise of a right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim, 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, in excess of its Pro
Rata Share of such payment as provided for in this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders a Participation Interest in such Advances and other obligations in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to
time, as shall be equitable to the end that all Lenders share such payment in accordance with their respective ratable shares as provided for in this Agreement. The Lenders further agree among themselves that if payment to a Lender obtained by such
Lender through the exercise of a right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or other event as aforesaid shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored, each Lender which shall have shared the benefit of such payment shall, by repurchase of
a Participation Interest theretofore sold, return its share of that benefit (together with its share of any accrued interest payable with respect thereto) to each Lender whose payment shall have been rescinded or otherwise restored. The Borrower
agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a Participation Interest may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all rights of payment, including set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim, with respect to such Participation Interest as
fully as if such Lender were a holder of such Advance or other obligation in the amount of such Participation Interest. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall fail to remit to the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender an amount payable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Agent or such other Lender pursuant to this Agreement on the date when such amount is due, such payments shall be made
together with interest thereon for each date from the date such amount is due until the date such amount is paid 
  

 34 

 
to the Administrative Agent or such other Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a
secured claim in lieu of a set-off to which this Section 2.22 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders under this
Section 2.22 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim. 
 Section 2.23 Substitution of
Lenders. Upon the receipt by the Borrower from any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) of a claim under Sections 2.16, 2.17 or notice of illegality under Section 2.18 or if any Lender (a “Defaulting
Lender”) defaults in its obligation to fund Advances hereunder, the Borrower may: (a) request one or more of the other Lenders to acquire and assume all or part of the Advances and Commitment of such Affected Lender or Defaulting
Lender, as applicable; or (b) replace such Affected Lender or Defaulting Lender, as applicable, by designating an Eligible Assignee that is willing to acquire such Advances and assume such Commitment; provided that (i) such
replacement does not conflict with any requirement of law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the Borrower shall repay (or the replacement Lender shall purchase, at par)
all Advances, accrued interest, fees and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.13 if any Eurodollar Rate Advance owing to
such replaced Lender shall be prepaid (or purchased) other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.05
(provided that the Borrower or replacement Lender shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee) and (vi) the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Sections 2.16 or 2.17, as the case may
be, to the extent such additional amounts were incurred on or prior to the consummation of such replacement.

Section 6.02 Cash Collateral Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no notice given or
declaration made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.01 shall affect the obligation of any LC Issuing Bank to make any payment under any Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; provided, however,

	 	(vi)	reduce any percentage specified in, or otherwise modify, the definition of “Required Lenders”,

Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not
obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (a) of this Section being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Lender that is acting as Administrative Agent is
not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate (or to execute a Power of Attorney to
the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent to assign and delegate on such Non-Consenting Lender’s behalf) without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 7.05), all its interests, rights
and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent (and any relevant Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances
and participations in Letter of Credit payments that have not been reimbursed, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest
and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 7.05(b)(iv). Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, the return of the Note held by any such Non-Consenting Lender is not a condition to the effectiveness of any assignment pursuant to this Section 7.04(b). 

Section 7.05 Benefit of Agreement. 

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the
parties hereto; provided that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its interests and obligations without prior written consent of each of the Lenders; provided further that the rights of each Lender to transfer, assign or
grant participations in its rights and/or obligations hereunder shall be limited as set forth in this Section 7.05. 
 (b)
Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Advances, its Notes, and its Commitment); provided, however,
that: 
  

	 	(i)	each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee; 

  

	 	(ii)	except in the case of an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of an existing Lender or any fund that invests in bank loans and is advised or managed by an
investment advisor to an existing Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, any such partial assignment shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining amount of
the Commitment being assigned by such Lender) or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; 

  

 55 

	 	(iii)	each such assignment by a Lender of any portion of its Advances shall be accompanied by an assignment of a constant, and not varying, percentage of all of such
Advances, and each such assignment by a Lender of any portion of its Advances shall be accompanied by an assignment of a constant, and not varying, percentage of all of such Lender’s Advances; and 

 

	 	(iv)	the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note subject to
such assignment and a processing fee of $3,500. 

 Upon execution, delivery, and acceptance of such Assignment and Acceptance, the
assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of such assignment, have the obligations, rights, and benefits of a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment, relinquish its rights and be
released from its obligations under this Agreement. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this Section 7.05, the assignor, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, new
Notes are issued to the assignor and the assignee. If the assignee is not a United States person under Section 7701 (a)(30) of the Code, it shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction
or withholding of Taxes in accordance with Section 2.17. To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitment pursuant to this Section 7.05 would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs
under Section 2.16 or Section 2.17 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay
any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment). 

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 7.01 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance
delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the
“Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice. Any assignment of any Advance or other obligations shall be effective only upon an entry with respect thereto being made in the Register. 

(d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the parties thereto, together with any Note subject to such assignment
and payment of the processing fee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the
information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the parties thereto. 
  

 56 

 (e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons (each a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of its rights, obligations or rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or its Advances); 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 participant shall be entitled to the
benefit of Sections 2.16 and 2.17 and the right of set-off contained in Section 2.20, and (iv) the Borrower 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 hereunder owing to such Lender and to approve any amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments,
modifications, or waivers decreasing the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on such Advances or Notes, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on such Advances or Notes,
or extending its Commitment). 
 (f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16
or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.

 (g) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time assign and pledge all or any
portion of its Advances and its Notes to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its
obligations hereunder. 
 (h) Any Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower in the possession of such Lender
from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and Participants), subject, however, to the provisions of Section 7.06 hereof. 

Section 7.06 Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each Lender (each, a “Lending
Party”) agrees to keep confidential any information furnished or made available to it by or on behalf of the Borrower and the Parent pursuant to this Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lending Party from
disclosing such information (a) on a confidential basis to any other Lending Party or any Affiliate of any Lending Party, or any officer, director, employee, agent, or advisor of any Lending Party or Affiliate of any Lending Party, (b) on
a confidential basis to any other Person if reasonably incidental to the administration of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (c) as required by any law, rule, or regulation, (d) upon the order of any court or administrative
agency, (e) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority, (f) that is or becomes available to the public or that is or becomes available to any Lending Party other than as a result of a disclosure by any Lending Party
prohibited by this Agreement, (g) in connection with any litigation to which such Lending Party or any of its Affiliates may be a party, (h) to the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedy under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection
with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, (j) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in

Swap Agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty (i) has been
approved in writing by the Borrower or the Parent, as applicable, and (ii) agrees in a writing enforceable by the Borrower or the Parent, as applicable, to be bound by the provisions of this Section 7.06), and (k) subject to
provisions substantially similar to those contained in this Section 7.06, to any actual or proposed Participant or assignee. 

Section 7.07 Representation by Lender. Each Lender hereby
represents that it is a commercial lender or financial institution which makes loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it will make its Advances hereunder for its own account in the ordinary course of such business; provided
that, subject to Section 7.05 of this Agreement, the disposition of the Advances and the Notes held by such Lender shall at all times be within its exclusive control. 

Section 7.08 Governing Law. This Agreement and the Notes shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law
of the State of New York. 
 Section 7.09 Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. 

(a) The Borrower (i) submits to personal jurisdiction in the State of New York, the courts thereof and the United States District

inconvenience of forum) to jurisdiction or venue within New York City and the State of New York for the purpose of litigation to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing herein contained, however, shall prevent the Borrower or
any Lender from bringing any action or exercising any rights within any other state or jurisdiction. 
 (b) THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT, THE LENDERS AND THE BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS, THE BORROWER OR THE PARENT. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT AND THE LENDERS ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any court or other governmental or judicial authority by reason of such party having or being deemed to have structured or
dictated such provision. 
 Section 7.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

embody the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto and thereto in respect 
  

 58

Agent of such Lender to act as specified herein and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and
to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated by the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
elsewhere herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and therein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or shall otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section are solely for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor the Parent shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as Administrative Agent of the Lenders and, does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower, the Parent or any of
their respective Affiliates. 
 Section 8.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any
of its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for
the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. 
 Section 8.03
Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall not be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or
in connection herewith or in connection with any of the other Loan Documents (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals,
statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or the Parent contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, document, financial 

 

 59 

 
statement or other written or oral statement referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection herewith or in connection with the other Loan
Documents, or enforceability or sufficiency therefor of any of the other Loan Documents, or for any failure of the Borrower or the Parent to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any
Lender for the effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made by
the Borrower or the Parent in any written or oral statement or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, certificates or any other documents in connection herewith or therewith furnished or made by the Administrative Agent to the
Lenders or by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Parent to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements
contained herein or therein or as to the use of the proceeds of the Advances or of the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower, the Parent or any of their
respective Affiliates. 
 Section 8.04 Reliance on Communications. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled
to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it in good faith to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower, independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Administrative Agent with reasonable care). The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lenders as the owner of their respective interests hereunder for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall
have been filed with the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 7.05 hereof. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents
unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by
reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the
Required Lenders (or to the extent specifically provided in Section 7.04, all the Lenders) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders (including their successors and assigns).

 Section 8.05 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice
of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender, the Borrower or the Parent referring to the Loan Document, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that
such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect
to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders. 
  

 60 

 Section 8.06 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each
Lender expressly acknowledges that each of the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has not made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent or
any affiliate thereof hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, the Parent or any of their respective Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender.
Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of
and investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Parent or their respective Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Advances hereunder and
enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent 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 analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, assets, operations, property, financial and
other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Parent and their respective Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder,
the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial or other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of the
Borrower, the Parent or their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates. 

Section 8.07 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such and each
of its directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitments (or if the Commitments have expired or
been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of outstanding Advances of the Lenders), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including without limitation at any time following the final payment of all of the obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such. If any indemnity furnished to the
Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against
until such additional indemnity is furnished (which additional indemnity shall be furnished in accordance with the terms of this 

 

 61 

 
Section 8.07). The agreements in this Section shall survive the repayment of the Advances, the expiry of all Letters of Credit, the repayment of all other obligations under the Loan
Documents and the termination of the Commitments hereunder. 
 Section 8.08 Administrative Agent in its Individual
Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, the Parent, their respective Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates as though
the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to the Advances and all obligations of the Borrower and the Parent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights
and powers under this Advance Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity. 
 Section 8.09 Successor Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written
notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders, with any such resignation or removal to become effective only upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Section 8.09. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Such successor shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that such approval shall not be necessary if at the time such successor is appointed there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default described in Section 6.01 (a), (g) or
(h). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required
Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender or shall be another commercial bank or trust company
organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $400,000,000. Such successor shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that such approval shall not be necessary if at the time such successor is appointed there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a), (g) or
(h). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of
the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative
Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. 

Section 8.10 Other Agents. Neither Co-Lead Arranger nor any Lender identified as an “Agent” (other than the
Administrative Agent) shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders so identified shall have or
be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action
hereunder.

 ARTICLE IX 

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 

Section 9.01 Parent. The Parent hereby acknowledges that (a) amounts owing by the Borrower under this Agreement
will constitute “Debt” under the Support Agreement and (b) this Agreement contains representations and warranties and covenants that relate to the Parent and that a breach of any of those representations or warranties, or a failure by
the Borrower to comply with such covenants, could result in an Event of Default under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the acknowledgement contained in this Section 9.01, each of the Administrative Agent, each LC Issuing Bank, the Swing Line
Bank and each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it will have no recourse against the Parent under this Agreement, and the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, each LC Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Bank and each Lender against Parent
shall be solely pursuant to and in accordance with the Support Agreement.

FORM OF FINANCIAL SERVICES AGREEMENT 

THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of [INSERT DATE], by and between [INSERT NAME OF BORROWER] (the “Company”) and American Water Capital
Corp. (“AWCC”). 
 B A C K G R O U N D

 The Company currently performs its own financial services. 

However, the Company has determined that it can obtain these services more efficiently through the consolidation of certain necessary
management and staff functions with those performed for other entities that may enter into agreement with AWCC substantially similar to this one (“Co-Participants”). 

AWCC is dedicated to performing such consolidated functions. 

Accordingly, the parties have determined to enter into this Agreement for the provision of financial services by AWCC to the Company and
for the proper determination and allocation of the costs of providing such services. 
 Therefore, the parties agree as follows:

 A G R E E M E N T 

1. Services. AWCC will provide, either directly or through arrangements with third parties for the benefit of the Company, such
financial services as the Company and AWCC may from time to time agree, including but not limited to those more fully described in Appendix I attached to this Agreement. 

2. Costs. In consideration of the provision of the services contemplated by paragraph 1, the Company agrees to pay AWCC a portion
of the costs and appropriate overhead incurred by AWCC in providing those services, as follows. The costs incurred by AWCC in connection with its bank credit lines and short-term public borrowings will be divided among the Co-Participants in
proportion to the maximum principal amount that each Co-Participant requests be made available to it during the course of a year. The costs incurred by AWCC in connection with each long-term borrowing by AWCC will be divided among each
Co-Participant in proportion to the principal amount of that borrowing that is loaned to that Co-Participant. AWCC’s overhead will be allocated among the Co-Participants in the same proportion as each Co-Participant’s long-term and
maximum, requested short-term borrowings and investments in a calendar year bear to all of the long and maximum short-term borrowings and investments by all Co-Participants during the same year. 

 3. Statements. AWCC will prepare and deliver to the Company monthly statements of the
services provided by AWCC and amounts payable to AWCC, giving effect to all the provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall pay the net amount shown on its statement within thirty (30) days after the billing date. 

4. Inspection. Upon reasonable notice, AWCC will make available to the Company for its inspection AWCC’s books, records,
bills, accounts and any other documents which describe or support the costs allocated to the Company under this Agreement. 
 5.
Obligations Not Joint. AWCC and the Company expressly agree: (a) that the obligations of the Company and each Co-Participant to AWCC are several and not joint; (b) that the Company will not be responsible to any Co-Participant, to
AWCC or to any assignee or creditor of AWCC for any payment in excess of payments due by the Company to AWCC under this Agreement or a Note in the form attached to this Agreement; and (c) that no Co-Participant will be responsible to the
Company, to any other Co-Participant, to AWCC or to any assignee or creditor of AWCC for any payment in excess of payments due by that Co-Participant to AWCC under any agreement substantially similar to this Agreement or under any Note attached to
that other agreement. AWCC covenants and agrees that it will require, as a condition to its entering into any such other agreement with a Co-Participant, that such other agreement contains the same provision as that contained in the immediately
preceding sentence. 
 6. Notes. The Company’s borrowings under this Agreement will be evidenced by one or more
promissory notes in the form of Exhibit A or Exhibit B attached to this Agreement. 
 7. Non-Exclusivity. Nothing in this
Agreement prohibits or restricts the Company from borrowing from third parties, or obtaining services described in this Agreement from third parties, whenever and on whatever terms it deems appropriate. 

8. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be effective as of , provided that, if prior approval by the regulatory commission of any
jurisdiction is required before this Agreement may become effective as to the Company, or before AWCC may provide a particular service hereunder to the Company, this Agreement shall not be effective as to the Company or as to that service, as the
case may be, unless and until the required approval has been obtained. Unless and until this Agreement becomes effective as to the Company in whole or in part, the Company shall not be entitled to the benefits of, nor shall it have any rights or
duties under, this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended or rescinded only by written instrument signed by the Company and AWCC. 

9. Termination. The Company may terminate its participation in this Agreement by giving ten (10) days prior written notice of
such termination to AWCC; and (b) AWCC may terminate this Agreement by giving ninety (90) days prior written notice of such termination to the Company. Termination of this Agreement will not affect: (a) the Company’s obligations
under any Promissory Notes; (b) any party’s obligations with respect to any amounts owing under Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement (including such amounts attributable to obligations of any terminating party under any Promissory Notes that
remain outstanding after this Agreement is terminated as to that party); or (c) AWCC’s obligations to repay any investments made by a Company pursuant to Appendix I. 

 

 -2- 

 10. Copies. This Agreement may be executed by the parties in one or more copies and

Credit Agreement referred to below 
  

	 	Re:	American Water Works Company, Inc. 

American Water Capital Corp. 

Credit Agreement dated as of September 15, 2006 

Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 I am
General Counsel of American Water Works Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AWWC”), and have acted as counsel for AWWC and American Water Capital Corp., a Delaware corporation (“AWCC” and, together with AWWC,
the “Opinion Parties”), in connection with the Credit Agreement dated September 15, 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”). among AWCC, the Lenders identified therein and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative
Agent and LC Issuing Bank. This opinion is being delivered to you pursuant to Section 3.01(d) of the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning assigned to them in the Credit Agreement. 

In that connection, I have examined, caused the examination of, or am otherwise familiar with, originals, or copies certified or
otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other instruments as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion, including (i) the Credit Agreement, (ii) the Support Agreement,
(iii) the Notes delivered pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Credit Agreement on the date hereof (such Notes, together with the Credit Agreement and the Support Agreement, being referred to as the “Loan Documents”), (iv) the
restated certificate of incorporation of AWWC, (v) the by-laws of AWWC, (vi) resolutions of AWWC, (vii) the certificate of incorporation of AWCC, (viii) the by-laws of AWCC and (ix) resolutions of AWCC. I have also relied,
with respect to certain factual matters, on the representations and warranties of the Opinion Parties contained in the Loan Documents and have assumed compliance by the Opinion Parties with the terms of the Loan Documents. 

 In rendering ray opinion, I have assumed (i) the due authorization, execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents by all parties thereto other than the Opinion Parties, and (ii) that each party to the Loan Documents (other than the Opinion Parties) has the full power, authority and legal right to enter into and perform its
obligations under the Loan Documents. Wherever the phrases “to my knowledge” or “known to me” are used in this opinion they refer to my actual knowledge and the actual knowledge of the attorneys employed by the Opinion Parties
who work under my supervision and who were involved in the representation of the Opinion Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement. 

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications hereinafter set forth, I am of opinion as follows: 

1. Based solely on a certificate from the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, AWWC is a corporation validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. AWWC has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Support Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder. 

2. Based solely on a certificate from the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, AWCC is a corporation validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. AWCC has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Credit Agreement and the Notes and to perform its obligations thereunder. 

3. Each of the Opinion Parties is duly qualified to transact business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business requires
such qualification, other than jurisdictions in which failure so to qualify is not likely to result in a Material Adverse Change. 

4. The Support Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by AWWC. The Credit Agreement and the Notes have been duly executed and
delivered by AWCC. 
 5. To my knowledge, there is no pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding before any court or
governmental agency or authority or arbitrator involving either Opinion Party that purports to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents. 

6. No action, consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any United States Federal governmental
authority, is required to be obtained or made by either Opinion Party in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by AWCC of the Credit Agreement or the Notes and the execution, delivery and performance by AWWC of the Support
Agreement, other than those that have been made or obtained and are in full force and effect or as to which the failure to be made or obtained or to be in full force and effect is not likely to result in a Material Adverse Change. 

7. Each Opinion Party is either not an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
“Act”) or is exempt from all provisions of the Act. 
  

 2 

 8. The execution and delivery by AWWC of the Support Agreement and the performance by AWWC
of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of AWWC and do not violate the restated certificate of incorporation or the by-laws of AWWC. 

9. The execution and delivery by AWCC of the Credit Agreement and the Notes and the performance by AWCC of its obligations thereunder
have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of AWCC and do not violate the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws of AWCC. 

10. The execution and delivery by AWWC of the Credit Agreement and Notes and by AWWC of the Support Agreement, the performance by AWCC of
its obligations under the Credit Agreement and Notes and the performance by AWWC of its obligations under the Support Agreement will not violate (a) any applicable law, rule or regulation of the United States of America or the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, (b) the provisions of any material agreement or contract binding on such Opinion Party and known to me (the “Material Agreements”) or (c) to my knowledge, any judgment, order or
decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality of the United States of America binding upon such Opinion Party. In connection with the foregoing, I point out that certain of the Material Agreements are or may be governed by laws other
than the laws of the State of Pennsylvania. For purposes of the opinion expressed in this paragraph, my opinion is based solely upon my understanding, or the understanding of lawyers working under my supervision, of the plain language of such
Material Agreements, and I do not express any opinion as to the validity, binding nature or enforceability of any such Material Agreement, and I do not assume any responsibility with respect to the effect on my opinion of any interpretation thereof
inconsistent with such understanding. My opinion also does not extend to compliance by AWCC or AWWC with any financial ratio or limitation in any Material Agreement expressed as a dollar amount (or an amount expressed in another currency).

 I understand that you are satisfying yourselves as to the status under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable
state fraudulent conveyance laws of the obligations of AWCC and AWWC under the Loan Documents and I express no opinion thereon. 

I am admitted to practice only in the State of Pennsylvania, and my opinion above is expressed with respect only to the Federal law of
the United States of America and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. 
 This opinion may be relied upon by
King & Spalding LLP in connection with its opinion delivered on the date hereof under Section 3.01 of the Credit Agreement. 

This opinion is rendered only to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their permitted assigns under the Credit Agreement and is
solely for their benefit in connection with the above transactions, provided that such permitted assign becomes a Lender on or prior to the 30th day after the date of this opinion. I am opining as to the matters herein only as of the date
hereof, and, while you are authorized to deliver copies of this opinion to such permitted assigns

and they are permitted to rely on this opinion, the rights to do so do not imply any obligation on my part to update this opinion. This opinion may not be relied upon by any other person or for
any other purpose, or used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose. 
  

			
	Very truly yours,

(to the Credit Agreement) 

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL 

TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 

September [    ], 2006 

To JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative 

Agent for the Lenders referred to below, and to the 

Swingline Bank and each of the Lenders and 

Issuing Banks parties to the Credit Agreement 

referred to below 
  

	 	Re:	American Water Capital Corp. 

 Ladies and
Gentlemen: 
 We have acted as counsel to the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of
the Credit Agreement, dated as of September [    ], 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”, the terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined), among American Water Capital Corp. (the
“Borrower”), certain Lenders from time to time parties thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the Lender, as Swingline Bank and as an LC Issuing Bank thereunder. 

In this connection, we have examined the following documents: 

1. a counterpart of the Credit Agreement, executed by the parties thereto, and 

2. the Notes delivered on this date pursuant to Section 3.01(b) of the Credit Agreement (the
“Notes”). 
 In our examination of the documents referred to above, we have assumed the authenticity of
all such documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the due authority of the parties executing such documents and the conformity to the originals of all such documents submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed
that you have independently evaluated, and are satisfied with, the creditworthiness of the Borrower and the business terms reflected in the Credit Agreement. We have relied, as to factual matters, on the documents we have examined. We note that we
do not represent the Borrower or the Parent (the “Opinion Parties”) and, accordingly, are not privy to the nature or character of their businesses. Accordingly, we have assumed that each Opinion Party is subject only to
statutes, rules, regulations, judgments, orders and other requirements of law of general applicability to corporations doing business in the State of New York. 
  

 G-1 

 To the extent that our opinions expressed below involve conclusions as to matters governed
by law other than the law of the State of New York, we have relied upon the legal opinion delivered pursuant to Section 3.01(d) of the Credit Agreement (the “Opinion Parties’ Opinion”)
and have assumed without independent investigation the correctness of the matters set forth therein, our opinions expressed below being subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations of the Opinion Parties’ Opinion. 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that the Credit
Agreement and the Notes are the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their respective terms. 

Our opinion is subject to the following qualifications: 

(a) The enforceability of the Borrower’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Notes are subject to the effect of any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally. 

(b) The enforceability of the Borrower’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Notes are subject to the effect of general
principles of equity, including (without limitation) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Such principles of equity are of general application,
and, in applying such principles, a court, among other things, might not allow a contracting party to exercise remedies in respect of a default deemed immaterial, or might decline to order an obligor to perform covenants. 

(c) We note further that, in addition to the application of equitable principles described above, courts have imposed an obligation on
contracting parties to act reasonably and in good faith in the exercise of their contractual rights and remedies, and may also apply public policy considerations in limiting the right of parties seeking to obtain indemnification under circumstances
where the conduct of such parties is determined to have constituted negligence. 
 (d) We express no opinion herein as to
(i) the enforceability of Section 2.20 of the Credit Agreement, (ii) the enforceability of provisions purporting to grant to a party conclusive rights of determination, (iii) the availability of specific performance or other
equitable remedies, (iv) the enforceability of rights to indemnity under federal or state securities laws, or (v) the enforceability of waivers by parties of their respective rights and remedies under law. 

(e) Our opinions expressed above are limited to the law of the State of New York, and we do not express any opinion herein concerning any
other law. 
  

 G-2 

 The foregoing opinion is solely for your benefit and may not be relied upon by any other
person or entity, other than any Person that may become a Lender or Issuing Bank after the date hereof. 
 Very
truly yours, 
  

 G-3
