Duties of Employee. Employee is hereby employed as President and CEO. Employee shall have general and active day to day management
of the business of Employer and shall see that all orders and resolutions of the board of directors are carried into effect. Employee
shall be responsible for development of business strategies, policies, and marketing programs for all of Employer’s insurance
divisions and for establishing strategic plans, short and long range goals, measurable objectives and time frames for implementing

of the board, the president shall preside at meetings of the shareholders and the board of directors.

 

2.2Adherence
to Rules. Employee shall adhere to and obey all rules, regulations and policies as may be adopted governing the conduct of
employees of Employer. Employee also agrees to abide by all rules and regulations imposed by any governing authority having jurisdiction
over Employer’s business operations and applicable to Employee in the course of his employment by Employer.

2.3Engagement
in Other Employment. During the term of this Agreement, Employee shall devote his entire productive time, ability and attention
to the business operations of Employer. Employee shall not, without the consent of Employer, directly or indirectly, alone or as
a partner, officer, director, stockholder, employee or consultant of any other person, entity, association, agency, organization
or institution be engaged in any other profession or business which would necessitate Employee’s giving any portion of his
time and effort to such activity as deemed significant by Employer. Furthermore, during the term of this Agreement, and for a period
of thirty-six (36) months thereafter, Employee shall not circumvent Employer financially, or in any other way, or to a client of

		b.	an amount equal to 5% of Submitted Production from the Mortgage and Final Expense divisions, described
below, determined on a cash basis during each calendar year, provided and on the condition that Employee’s employment by
Employer is not terminated by Employer pursuant to Article IV hereof. “Submitted Production” shall be defined
herein as any insurance business submitted to Employer through the efforts of Employee. “Mortgage and Final Expense divisions”
shall be defined herein as two different distribution channels with different agents and sales platforms, such that “Mortgage”
generates leads from people that are new and existing home owners and from people that have refinanced on their homes and “Final
Expense” generates leads from lower income seniors ages 50 – 85. All payments due under this Section 3.1 shall
be paid within thirty (30) days after determination of the Submitted Production by Employer for the period in question.

 

ARTICLE IV

TERMINATION
OF EMPLOYMENT

 

4.1Events
Causing Termination. Employee’s employment with Employer and all Employer’s obligations under this Agreement shall
immediately terminate, without liability to Employer, upon the occurrence of any one of the following events:

 

		a.	Employee’s death;

 

		b.	Employee’s permanent disability as determined by the Employer;

 

		c.	Employee is convicted by a court of competent jurisdiction of fraud, misappropriation, embezzlement,
dishonesty, or other similar act; or

 

		d.	both Employee and Ralph Simpson agree that Employee should voluntarily terminate his employment
with Employer.

 

4.2Effect
of Termination:

4.2.1Benefits
Generally. In the event of Employee’s ceasing to be employed by Employer for any reason whatsoever, all benefits shall
immediately cease, subject to applicable law regarding continuation of benefits beyond a term of employment. Furthermore, if the
Agreement shall be terminated then any rights that Employee may have to any stock options, warrants, right to receive shares or
similar rights to receive stock in the Employer shall become immediately null and void and of no further force and effect.

 

4.2.2 Books
and Records. Upon termination of Employee pursuant to this Agreement, all books, records, journals, diaries, devices, records,
data, notes, reports, proposals, lists, correspondence, specifications, drawings, blueprints, sketches, laboratory notebooks, materials,
flow charts, equipment, other documents or property, or reproductions of any of the aforementioned items or personal and regular
files concerning Employer, Employer’s business operations and the employment of Employee with Employer (collectively, the
“Books and Records”) shall belong to and remain the property of Employer. Employee agrees that at the time of
his termination he shall deliver the Books and Records to the Employer (and will not keep in his possession, recreate or deliver
the Books and Records to anyone else). Employee further agrees that any property situated on the Employer’s premises and
owned by the Employer, including disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or other work areas, is subject to inspection by
Employer personnel at any time with or without notice.

 

4.3Survival
of Remedies. No termination of the Employee’s employment with Employer or of this Agreement shall prejudice any other
remedy that Employer may be entitled to, either at law, in equity, or under this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE V

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

 

5.1Restrictive Covenant.
In consideration of the specialized training provided and to be provided by Employer to Employee, during Employee’s employment
with Employer, with respect to the insurance business, Employee agrees that, for a period of thirty six (36) months following the
termination of his employment by Employer pursuant to the Agreement, Employee shall not (i) perform services in any manner of the
kind performed for Employer hereunder for any person entity, association, agency, organization or institution that is a competitor
of Employer and is located or doing business in the State of Texas, or (ii) perform services in a manner of the kind performed
for Employer hereunder for any person, entity, association, agency, organization or institution that is a competitor of Employer
and that had a material contract or arrangement with Employer for services during Employee’s term of employment. For purposes
of this Section 5.1, a person, entity, association, agency, organization or institution will constitute a competitor of
Employer if he, she or it is, or his, her or its business is reasonably characterized as being similar to Employer’s business.

 

It is understood
and agreed that the covenants contained in this Section 5.1 are reasonable as to time, area, and scope and do not impose
a greater restraint on Employee in light of the Employee’s activities on behalf of Employer and the business of Employer
and its future plans on the date of execution of the Agreement. Employee further agrees that the covenants and agreements contained
in this Section 5.1 are supported by the independent valuable consideration of the inducement for the Employer to retain
the services of the Employee.

 

5.2Confidential
Information: Intellectual Property.

 

a.               
Employee acknowledges that Employee will have access to various confidential or proprietary information concerning Employer
of a special and unique value, which information may include, without limitation, (i) books and records relating to operations,
financial condition, sales, personnel, payroll and management, (ii) policies and matters relating to the operations of Employer;
(iii) various trade or business secrets, including business strategies, insurance policies and products, plans and programs, business
opportunities, marketing or business diversification plans, business development and bidding techniques, methods and processes,
financial data and the like, and (iv) selling techniques, operations information, sales information, distribution information,
customer and prospect lists, customer needs, marketing concepts, and methods and techniques in conducting Employer’s business
operations and similar materials (all such information concerning Employer being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Protected
Information”). Employee further recognized, acknowledges and agrees that all aspects of Employer’s business operations
are, and shall remain, as between Employer and Employee, Employer’s exclusive property and are special and unique.

 

b.               
Employee shall not following the termination of his employment, knowingly make any independent use of or disclose to any
other person or organization any of the Protected Information.

 

c.               
Employee shall promptly disclose to Employer any and all strategies, policies, plans, programs and systems, marketing concepts
and other ideas and improvements to Employer’s business operations, whether or not capable of being protected under any intellectual
property law or common law concepts, which are conceived or made by Employee, solely or jointly with another person, during the
period of Employee’s employment with Employer and Employee hereby assigns and agrees to assign all Employee’s interests
therein to Employer or to Employer’s designee. Employee shall execute any and all applications, assignments or other instruments
which Employer shall deem necessary to protect Employer’s interest therein.

 

5.3Solicitation
of Employees, Consultants and Other Parties. Employee agrees that during the term of his employment pursuant to the Agreement,
and for a period thirty six (36) months following the termination of his employment by Employer pursuant to the Agreement,
Employee shall not either directly or indirectly solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any of the
Employer’s employees or consultants to terminate their relationship with the Employer, or take away, hire, or otherwise engage
the services of such employees or consultants, or attempt to solicit, induce, recruit, encourage or take away employees or consultants
of the Employer, either for himself or for any other person or entity. Furthermore, for a period of thirty six (36) months following
the termination of his employment with the Employer pursuant to the Agreement, Employee shall not solicit any licensor to or customer
of the Employer or licensee of the Employer’s products, in each case, that are known to him, with respect to any business,
products or services that are competitive to the products or services offered by the Employer or under development as of the date
of the termination of his employment with the Employer pursuant to the Agreement.

5.4Remedies.
In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Employee of the provisions of the Agreement, Employer and Employee agree that
Employer will be irreparably harmed thereby and that Employer shall be entitled to injunctive relief restraining or enjoining Employee
from competing with Employer, or from using or disclosing, in whole or in part, the Protected Information, and/or the Books and
Records, all as set forth in this Agreement. Nothing herein shall prohibit Employer from pursing any other remedy available to
it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages and attorney’s fees from Employee.

 

5.5Survival
of Remedies. The covenants and agreements contained in this Article V shall survive the termination of Employee’s
employment with Employer.

Swingline Banks agreeing to make any specific MC Swingline Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, the
provision of MC Swingline Loans by any MC Swingline Bank shall be in addition to, and shall not
relieve such MC Bank from its obligation to make MC Revolving Loans ratably in proportion to the
amount of, its MC Commitment.

(b) Each USD Advance hereunder shall consist of USD Revolving Loans made from the several USD
Banks, ratably in proportion to the amounts of their respective USD Commitments on the date of such
USD Advance, or of USD Swingline Loans made from the USD Swingline Banks agreeing to make any
specific USD Swingline Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, the provision of USD Swingline Loans by
any USD Swingline Bank shall be in addition to, and shall not relieve such USD Bank from its
obligation to make USD Revolving Loans ratably in proportion to the amount of, its USD Commitment.

Section 2.3 Repayment of Advances.

(a) Each Advance and accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each applicable Bank 30 days after such Advance is made or,
if earlier, the Revolving Credit Termination Date (any such date, a “Loan Maturity Date”), except
in the case of a Test Draw which shall be repaid pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.2
hereof and except as provided in Section 2.4.

(b) Each then outstanding Advance and accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and
payable on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

Section 2.4 Reborrowing of Advances. (a) No MC Loan may be made hereunder to repay
any MC Advance without the consent of the Required MC Banks, except that MC Revolving Loans may be
made to repay any outstanding MC Swingline Loan (in which case such MC Revolving Loans and accrued
and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable to the Administrative Agent on the original
Loan Maturity Date of such MC Swingline Loan).

(b) No USD Loan may be made hereunder to repay any USD Advance without the consent of the
Required USD Banks, except that USD Revolving Loans may be made to repay any outstanding USD
Swingline Loan (in which case such USD Revolving Loans and accrued and unpaid interest thereon
shall be due and payable to the Administrative Agent on the original Loan Maturity Date of such USD
Swingline Loan).

Section 2.5 Optional Principal Payments. The Company may prepay, without premium or
penalty, all or a portion of any outstanding Advance denominated in Dollars at any time up to 12:00
noon (New York City time) on any Business Day and all or a portion of any outstanding Advance
denominated in an Alternative Currency at any time up to 2:30 p.m. (London time) on any Business
Day; provided that interest shall accrue on such amount being prepaid until the next
Business Day if such payment is received after 12:00 noon (New York City time) or 2:30 p.m. (London
time), as applicable, on the date of payment. Repayment of principal pursuant to this Section
2.5 shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

Section 2.6 Mandatory Principal Payments. (a) On any day on which the aggregate
outstanding principal of the Clearing Fund Pool Loans for any applicable Clearing Business exceeds
the Clearing Fund Borrowing Base therefor (as determined pursuant to Section 1.4 after
giving effect to any redesignation pursuant to Section 2.13), the Company shall immediately
repay Loans in the amount of such excess or pledge to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the
Banks, additional Collateral in the applicable Clearing Fund Collateral Pool under the Collateral
Documents as necessary to cure such deficiency, without the necessity of any notice or demand.

(b) On any day on which the aggregate outstanding principal of the Company Pool Loans exceeds
the Company Borrowing Base (as determined pursuant to Section 1.4 after giving effect to
any redesignation pursuant to Section 2.13), the Company shall immediately repay Loans in
the amount of such excess or pledge to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Banks,
additional Collateral in the Company Collateral Pool under the Collateral Documents as necessary to
cure such deficiency, without the necessity of any notice or demand.

(c) On any day on which the aggregate outstanding principal of the Clearing Fund Pool Loans
and the Company Pool Loans, taken together, exceeds the Aggregate Commitments, the Company shall
repay Loans in the amount of such excess without the necessity of any notice or demand.

(d) On any day on which the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
MC Loans exceeds the Aggregate MC Commitments then in effect, then, the Company shall repay MC
Loans and/or MC Swingline Loans, as the Company shall select, in the amount of such excess without
the necessity of any notice or demand.

(e) On any day on which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of USD Loans exceeds the
Aggregate USD Commitments then in effect, then, the Company shall repay USD Loans and/or USD
Swingline Loans, as the Company shall select, in the amount of such excess without the necessity of
any notice or demand.

(f) On any Business Day after giving effect to any requested Loan or on any Business Day when
Loans are outstanding, on which the aggregate Borrowing Base (including each Clearing Fund
Borrowing Base and the Company Collateral Borrowing Base) or the Aggregate Commitments is less than
the sum of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Loans denominated in Dollars
of such day and (2) 105% of the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as of such day, then, the Company shall, upon written
notice from the Administrative Agent, pledge additional Collateral or prepay loans (or do any
combination of the foregoing) as necessary to cure such deficiency (or in the event of any such
requested Loan, instruct the Administrative Agent to return the proceeds of the requested Loan to
the applicable Banks or, in the event such pledge of such additional Collateral is made as of such
Business Day, hold such funds in the Administrative Agent’s Office until the time of such pledge).

Repayment of any such excess amount shall be applied first, to prepay outstanding Swingline
Loans, and second, to prepay outstanding Revolving Loans (in accordance with the applicable
Collateral Pools), in each case in the direct order of their respective maturities (or, in the
event that any such repayment is not sufficient to repay such excess amount in full, first,
to prepay outstanding Swingline Loans pro rata, and second, to prepay outstanding Revolving
Loans pro rata) and shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

Section 2.7 Adjustments of Commitments.

(a) Adjustments by the Company. The Company may permanently reduce the Aggregate MC
Commitments or the Aggregate USD Commitments, in whole or in part ratably among the applicable
Banks party to the respective Facility, in proportion to the amounts of their respective MC
Commitments or USD Commitments (as the case may be) at any time upon written notice to the
Administrative Agent; provided, however, that, (i) subject to Sections
2.7(b) or 2.12, (x) the amount of the Aggregate MC Commitments may not be reduced below
the outstanding principal amount of the MC Advance(s) and (y) the Aggregate USD Commitments may not
be reduced below the outstanding principal amount of the USD Advance(s) and (ii) a notice of
termination of the Aggregate MC Commitment or USD Commitments (as the case may be) delivered by the
Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit
facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not
satisfied.

(b) Adjustments by Banks for Accelerated Termination. If the MC Commitment or USD
Commitment of a Bank hereunder is terminated pursuant to Section 2.12, the Company shall
immediately notify Administrative Agent in writing of such termination (“Accelerated Termination
Notice”) and shall state the amount of such terminating Bank’s MC Commitment or USD Commitment (as
the case may be) (“Terminated Commitment”) in the Accelerated Termination Notice. Administrative
Agent shall promptly provide a copy of the Accelerated Termination Notice to each remaining Bank
(each a “Non-Terminating Bank”). Each Non-Terminating Bank shall notify the Company, in writing,
on or before the second Business Day after the date of the Accelerated Termination Notice, if and
by what amount such Bank is willing in its sole discretion to increase its MC Commitment or USD
Commitment (as applicable), which amount shall be equal to all or some portion of the Terminated
Commitment (each, a “2.7(b) Notice”). Any Non-Terminating Bank that fails to so notify the Company
on or before such second Business Day shall be deemed to have declined to increase its MC
Commitment or USD Commitment (as the case may be). If offers to increase MC Commitments or USD
Commitments are made by two or more Non-Terminating Banks in an aggregate amount greater than the
aggregate amount of the Terminated Commitment, such Non-Terminating Banks and the Company hereby
agree that such offers shall be allocated as nearly as possible in proportion to the aggregate
amount of such offers, so that the aggregate amount thereof will not exceed the amount of the
Terminated Commitment. On or before the third Business Day after the date of the Accelerated
Termination Notice, the Company shall notify Administrative Agent and each Non-Terminating Bank of
the amount by which each such Non-Terminating Bank’s Commitment has been increased, which amount
shall not exceed the amount of such Non-Terminating Bank’s offer to increase its MC Commitment or
USD Commitment (as applicable) in such Bank’s 2.7(b) Notice. All increases of MC Commitments or
USD Commitments by the Banks under this Section 2.7(b) shall become effective on the
terminating Bank’s Accelerated Termination Date or on such later date on which the Company shall
notify Administrative Agent and each Non-Terminating Bank of the amount by which each such
Non-Terminating Bank’s MC Commitment or USD Commitment has been increased in accordance with this
Section 2.7(b) (“2.7(b) Effective Date”). The Company shall promptly upon request deliver to each
Non-Terminating Bank whose MC Commitment or USD Commitment has been increased pursuant to this
Section 2.7(b) a new Note reflecting (if requested by such Non-Terminating Bank) such
Non-Terminating Bank’s new MC Commitment or USD Commitment amount. Each such Bank whose MC
Commitment or USD Commitment is terminated as contemplated hereby shall promptly, after repayment
to such Bank of such Bank’s ratable share of all MC Advances or USD Advances (as applicable)
outstanding on the 2.7(b) Effective Date, return to the Company such Bank’s superseded Note(s), as
applicable. Each such Non-Terminating Bank shall make available to the Administrative Agent such
amounts with respect to the applicable Facility affected by the termination contemplated by this
Section in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit
of the other applicable Banks in the respective Facility, as being required in order to cause,
after giving effect to such commitment increase, the outstanding Loans (and risk participations in
outstanding Swingline Loans) in the respective Facility to be held ratably by all applicable Banks
in the respective Facility in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (as revised
by such increase) and the Company shall be deemed to have prepaid and reborrowed the outstanding
applicable Loans in the respective Facility as of the 2.7(b) Effective Date to the extent necessary
to keep the outstanding Loans in the respective Facility ratable with any revised Applicable
Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the USD Commitments or MC Commitments
contemplated hereby.

Section 2.8 Fees.

(a) From the date hereof to but excluding the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the Company
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the MC Banks a commitment fee
of 10/100 of 1% per annum (on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days and for actual days
elapsed) on the daily amount of the excess of (i) the amount of the Aggregate MC Commitments over
(ii) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding MC Advances of the MC Banks (excluding any
MC Advances of MC Swingline Loans, provided that in the event the participating interests in all MC
Swingline Loans outstanding on such date have been fully funded in accordance with Section
2.14(a), the MC Swingline Exposure of such MC Bank shall not be excluded from such aggregate
principal amount or, in the event that such participating interests are not fully funded, only the
participating interests acquired and so partially funded by such MC Bank in accordance with
Section 2.14(a) in respect of any such outstanding MC Swingline Loans shall not be excluded
from such aggregate principal amount), payable in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter of
the Company hereafter and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, commencing on the first of such
dates to occur after the date hereof.

(b) From the date hereof to but excluding the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the Company
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the USD Banks a commitment fee
of 10/100 of 1% per annum (on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days and for actual days
elapsed) on the daily amount of the excess of (i) the amount of the Aggregate USD Commitments over
(ii) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding USD Advances of the USD Banks (excluding any
USD Advances of USD Swingline Loans, provided that in the event the participating interests in all
USD Swingline Loans outstanding on such date have been fully funded in accordance with Section
2.14(b), the USD Swingline Exposure of such USD Bank shall not be excluded from such aggregate
principal amount or, in the event that such participating interests are not fully funded, only the
participating interests acquired and so partially funded by such USD Bank in accordance with
Section 2.14(b) in respect of any such outstanding USD Swingline Loans shall not be
excluded from such aggregate principal amount), payable in arrears on the last day of each fiscal
quarter of the Company hereafter and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, commencing on the
first of such dates to occur after the date hereof.

(c) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, for each
of their respective accounts, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon
by the Company.

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds,
to the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent, in the case of such fees payable to the
Collateral Agent). The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for
the account of the Banks to the Banks in accordance with their respective pro rata shares thereof.

Section 2.9 Collateral.

(a) The Obligations of the Company under this Agreement, the Loans and all other Loan
Documents shall be secured, in each case, by the applicable Collateral Pool, in accordance with the
Collateral Documents.

(b) The Company may from time to time (including after a Notice of Exclusive Control has been
delivered, except when either (x) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (y) an
Unmatured Default in respect of Section 8.2 shall have occurred and be continuing) direct the
Collateral Agent, in writing, to permit (and upon such direction, which shall be deemed a
certification by the Company that such withdrawal or replacement is not prohibited hereunder, the
Collateral Agent shall permit) the replacement of any Clearing Member Security or Company Security
credited to any DB Collateral Account, any BNY Mellon Securities Account, any Citibank Securities
Account, or any Money Fund Share or Harris Deposit Account Funds subject to the Lien of the
Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security and Pledge Agreement or any Gold Bullion subject to the
Lien of the Collateral Agent pursuant to any Bullion Security Agreement, as the case may be, of a
type described in CME Rule 816 or CME Rule 820, CBOT Rule 816 or CBOT Rule 820 or NYMEX Rule 816 or
NYMEX Rule 820 or any other similar Rule, or withdraw any Clearing Member Security or Company
Security credited to any DB Collateral Account, any BNY Mellon Securities Account, any Citibank
Securities Account or any Money Fund Share or any Harris Deposit Account Funds subject to the Lien
of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security and Pledge Agreement or any Gold Bullion subject
to the Lien of the Collateral Agent pursuant to any Bullion Security Agreement; provided
that after giving effect to such replacement or withdrawal, (i) if such replacement or withdrawal
is in respect of Clearing Member Security, Company Security or Money Fund Shares or Harris Deposit
Account Funds in any Clearing Fund Collateral Pool, the aggregate principal amount of all the
applicable remaining Clearing Fund Pool Loans outstanding as of the date of such replacement or
withdrawal (after giving effect to any concurrent redesignation pursuant to Section 2.13)
shall not exceed the applicable Clearing Fund Borrowing Base as of the date of such replacement or
withdrawal (as determined by the Company and, if any Advances are outstanding hereunder at the time
of such replacement or withdrawal, confirmed to the Company by the Collateral Agent (with the
Collateral Agent’s determination controlling in the event of any discrepancy)) and (ii) if such
replacement or withdrawal is in respect of Company Security in the Company Collateral Pool, the
aggregate principal amount of all remaining Company Pool Loans (together with, if the aggregate
Clearing Fund Pool Loans then exceed the aggregate Clearing Fund Borrowing Bases, such aggregate
excess Clearing Fund Pool Loans) outstanding as of the date of such replacement or withdrawal
(after giving effect to any concurrent redesignation pursuant to Section 2.13) shall not
exceed the Company Borrowing Base as of the date of such replacement or withdrawal (as determined
by the Company and, if any Advances are outstanding hereunder at the time of such replacement or
withdrawal, confirmed to the Company by the Collateral Agent (with the Collateral Agent’s
determination controlling in the event of any discrepancy)).

(c) The Company may from time to time (including after a Notice of Exclusive Control has been
delivered, except when either (x) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (y) an
Unmatured Default in respect of Section 8.2 shall have occurred and be continuing)) direct the
Collateral Agent, the JPMorgan Securities Intermediary, the BNY Mellon Securities Intermediary, the
Citibank Securities Intermediary, the Harris Depository, any Bullion Account Bank or any Money Fund
Issuer or its transfer or servicing agent, in writing, to liquidate (and the Collateral Agent, the
JPMorgan Securities Intermediary, the BNY Mellon Securities Intermediary, the Citibank Securities
Intermediary, the Harris Depository, any Bullion Account Bank or such Money Fund Issuer or its
transfer or servicing agent, as the case may be, shall liquidate in market-based transactions as
directed, in writing, by the Company) any Clearing Member Security or Company Security credited to
any DB Collateral Account, any Clearing Member Security credited to any BNY Mellon Securities
Account, any Clearing Member Security credited to any Citibank Securities Account or any Money Fund
Shares or Harris Deposit Account Funds subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the
Security and Pledge Agreement, or any Gold Bullion subject to the Lien of the Collateral Agent
pursuant to any Bullion Security Agreement, as the case may be, and apply the proceeds thereof and
any other amounts credited to any DB Collateral Account, any BNY Mellon Securities Account, any
Citibank Securities Account or credited in respect of such Money Fund Shares or Harris Deposit
Account Funds to repay any outstanding Loans; provided that, (i) (x) if such liquidation
and repayment is in respect of Clearing Member Security, Company Security or Money Fund Shares or
Harris Deposit Account Funds in any Clearing Fund Collateral Pool, the aggregate principal amount
of the remaining applicable Clearing Fund Pool Loans outstanding (after giving effect to any
concurrent redesignation pursuant to Section 2.13) shall not exceed the applicable Clearing
Fund Borrowing Base as of the date of such liquidation and (y) if such liquidation and repayment is
in respect of Company Security in the Company Collateral Pool, the aggregate principal amount of
all remaining Company Pool Loans (together with, if the Clearing Fund Pool Loans related to any
Clearing Business then exceed the Clearing Fund Borrowing Base for such Clearing Business, such
excess Clearing Fund Pool Loans and any other such excess Clearing Fund Pool Loans for any other
Clearing Business) outstanding (after giving effect to any concurrent redesignation pursuant to
Section 2.13) shall not exceed the Company Borrowing Base as of the date of such
liquidation (unless, in either case, the Administrative Agent otherwise determines that any such
liquidation is in the best interests of the Banks, after giving effect to any such liquidation and
the repayment of Loans pursuant thereto, in which case any such liquidation shall be permitted
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (i)) and (ii) the Company shall reimburse
the Collateral Agent, the JPMorgan Securities Intermediary, the BNY Mellon Securities Intermediary,
the Citibank Securities Intermediary, the Harris Depository, the Bullion Account Bank or the Money
Fund Issuer or its transfer or servicing agent, as the case may be, for any and all reasonable
costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by such Person in connection
with any such liquidation.

(d) For ease of administration, when the Company is including Sovereign Debt in any Collateral
Pool, the Administrative Agent may require the Company to, or may itself, designate a specific
aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be secured by such Collateral Pool as being deemed for
purposes of this Section 2.9(d) to be notionally allocated to such Sovereign Debt (and not
to the other Eligible Assets in such Collateral Pool), in either case by giving notice thereof to
the Company and the Collateral Agent. Upon such designation becoming effective (but subject to any
redesignation as contemplated below), the remaining aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be
secured by such Collateral Pool shall be deemed for purposes of this Section 2.9(d) to be
notionally allocated only to the other Eligible Assets in such Collateral Pool. While such
designation is in effect (but subject to any such redesignation as contemplated below), the
provisions of Section 2.6(a) or (b), as the case may be, the other paragraphs of
this Section 2.9, Section 1.4 and Section 2.13 shall be read as though such
Collateral Pool were two separate Collateral Pools, one including only such Sovereign Debt and the
other including only such other Eligible Assets. At any time after such designation becomes
effective, the Company or the Administrative Agent may redesignate, by notice to the other and the
Collateral Agent, all or any part of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans notionally
allocated to such Sovereign Debt as being allocated to such other Eligible Assets, or vice versa,
provided that after giving effect to such redesignation no prepayment would be required under
Section 2.6(a) or (b) as read as contemplated above on account of the aggregate
principal amount of such Loans notionally allocated to either such Sovereign Debt or such other
Eligible Assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all of the Loans relating to such Collateral Pool
shall be secured by all of the Eligible Assets (including such Sovereign Debt) in such Collateral
Pool at all times.

(e) Upon any replacement, liquidation or withdrawal of any Clearing Member Security, Company
Security, Harris Deposit Account Funds, Gold Bullion or Money Fund Shares in accordance with the
Collateral Documents and pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) above, the Lien of the
Collateral Agent on the replaced, liquidated or withdrawn Clearing Member Security, Company
Security or Money Fund Shares, as applicable, shall be deemed released without further consent of
the Collateral Agent or any Bank.

Section 2.10 Commitment Increase Option.

(a) The Company may, at its option and without the consent of the Banks, at any time and from
time to time, seek to increase the Aggregate MC Commitments or the Aggregate USD Commitments, or
both, by up to an aggregate amount of $2,000,000,000 for all such increases (resulting in a maximum
Aggregate Commitments of $7,000,000,000) upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of any such increase and shall be delivered
at a time when no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing. The Company may, in
its sole discretion, offer the increase in the Aggregate MC Commitments or the Aggregate USD
Commitments to existing Banks or to other lenders or entities reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent and the Company. No increase in the Aggregate MC Commitments or the Aggregate
USD Commitments, or both, shall become effective until the existing or new Banks extending such new
or increased MC Commitment or USD Commitment amount (which such increase shall be determined by
each such existing or new Bank in its sole discretion) and the Company shall have delivered to the
Administrative Agent a document reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Company
pursuant to which any such existing Bank states the amount of its MC Commitment or USD Commitment
increase (as the case may be), any such new Bank states its MC Commitment or USD Commitment amount
(as the case may be) and agrees to assume and accept the obligations and rights of a Bank hereunder
and the Company accepts such new or increased MC Commitments or USD Commitments. The Banks (new or
existing) shall accept an assignment from the existing Banks, and the existing Banks shall make an
assignment to the new or existing Banks accepting a new or increased MC Commitment or USD
Commitment (as the case may be), of a direct interest in each then outstanding MC Advance or USD
Advance, as applicable, such that, after giving effect thereto, all credit exposure hereunder is
held ratably by the Banks in proportion to their respective MC Commitments or USD Commitments.
Assignments pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made in exchange for the principal amount
assigned plus accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid facility fees. Any such increase
of the Aggregate MC Commitments or USD Commitments, respectively shall be subject to receipt by the
Administrative Agent from the Company of such supplemental opinions, resolutions, certificates and
other documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

(b) In addition to the foregoing, to the extent that the Company has reduced the Aggregate MC
Commitments or the Aggregate USD Commitments with respect to any or all of the Banks (including
pursuant to Section 2.12), the Company may, from time to time, increase any portion of any
such Bank’s respective MC Commitment or USD Commitment (as applicable), with such Bank’s consent in
its sole discretion, in an amount up to the amount so reduced, provided that each such Bank
shall accept an assignment from the existing Banks, and the existing Banks shall make an assignment
to each such Bank of a direct interest in each then outstanding MC Advance or USD Advance, as
applicable, such that, after giving effect thereto, all credit exposure hereunder is held ratably
by the Banks in proportion to their respective MC Commitments or USD Commitments, respectively.
The documents evidencing any such increase in the Aggregate MC Commitments or Aggregate USD
Commitments shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.11 Defaulting Banks.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then, until such time as that Bank is no longer a
Defaulting Bank, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Bank’s right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be
restricted as set forth in Section 9.2.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or
other amounts received by any Agent for the account of that Defaulting Bank (whether
voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise, and
including any amounts made available to any Agent by that Defaulting Bank pursuant to
Section 12.1), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the
Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that
Defaulting Bank to any Agent hereunder on a pro rata basis; second, to the payment on a pro
rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Bank to any Swingline Bank hereunder;
third, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Unmatured Default exists), to
the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its
portion thereof as required by this Agreement (such unfunded amounts to be determined by the
Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Company); fourth, if so determined by the
Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in an interest bearing account and released
in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Bank to fund Loans under this Agreement;
fifth, in the case of a Defaulting Bank under any Facility, to the payment of any amounts
owing to the other Banks under such Facility (including the Swingline Banks) as a result of
any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank under such Facility
(including the Swingline Banks) against that Defaulting Bank as a result of that Defaulting
Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts
owing to the Company as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
obtained by the Company against that Defaulting Bank as a result of that Defaulting Bank’s
breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to that Defaulting Bank or as
otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such
payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans under any Facility in respect of
which that Defaulting Bank has not fully funded its appropriate share and (B) such Loans
were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or
waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Banks
under the applicable Facility on a pro rata basis (and ratably among all applicable
Facilities computed in accordance with the Defaulting Banks’ respective funding
deficiencies) prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Bank
under the applicable Facility. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable
to a Defaulting Bank that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank
pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that
Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Bank shall not be entitled to receive any
commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.8 for any period during which that Bank is a
Defaulting Bank (and the Company shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise
would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Bank).

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure.
During any period in which there is a Defaulting Bank, for purposes of computing the amount
of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Bank to acquire, refinance or fund participations
in Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.14, the pro rata portion and “Applicable
Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Bank shall be computed from time to time without giving
effect to the MC Commitment or USD Commitment of that Defaulting Bank; provided,
that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect if, at the time of any such
reallocation, no Default or Unmatured Default exists; (ii) the aggregate obligation of each
non-Defaulting Bank to acquire, refinance or fund participations in MC Swingline Loans shall
not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the MC Commitment of that non-Defaulting
Bank minus (2) the aggregate outstanding amount of the MC Revolving Loans of that Bank and
(iii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Bank to acquire, refinance or fund
participations in USD Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of
(1) the USD Commitment of that non-Defaulting Bank minus (2) the aggregate outstanding
amount of the USD Revolving Loans of that Bank.

(b) Defaulting Bank Cure. If the Company, the Administrative Agent and MC Swingline
Banks (in the case of a Defaulting Bank which is an MC Bank) and the USD Swingline Banks (in the
case of a Defaulting Bank which is a USD Bank) agree in writing in their sole discretion that a
Defaulting Bank should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank, the Administrative Agent will
so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and
subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Bank will, to the extent applicable, purchase
that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Banks in the applicable Facility participated in by
such Defaulting Bank or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be
necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swingline Loans in
the applicable Facility to be held on a pro rata basis by the Banks in the applicable Facility in
accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section
2.11(a)(iv)), whereupon that Bank will cease to be a Defaulting Bank; provided that no
adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on
behalf of the Company while that Bank was a Defaulting Bank (and the Company shall not be required
to pay any such fees or payments to such Bank which were not required to have been paid to such
Bank while it was a Defaulting Bank); and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise
expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Bank to Bank will
constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s having
been a Defaulting Bank.

(c) Other Rights and Remedies. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Bank
under this Section 2.11 are in addition to other rights and remedies which the Company may have
against such Defaulting Bank with respect to any Funding Default and which the Administrative Agent
or any Bank may have against such Defaulting Bank with respect to any Funding Default.

Section 2.12 Removal or Replacement of a Bank. Anything contained herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) any Bank shall become a Defaulting Bank and such
Defaulting Bank shall immediately fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a
Defaulting Bank; (b) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver
or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 9.2(a),
the consent of the Required Banks shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of the
other Banks (each a “Non-Consenting Bank”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained
or (c) any Bank requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 11.4(a),

11.9(d) indicating its inability to make or maintain Overnight LIBOR Rate Loans or overnight
Euribor Rate Loans (each a “Requesting Bank”); then, with respect to each such Defaulting Bank,
Non- Consenting Bank or Requesting Bank (the “Terminated Bank”), the Company may, by giving written
notice to the Administrative Agent and any Terminated Bank of its election to do so, (1) elect to
cause such Terminated Bank (and such Terminated Bank hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its
outstanding Loans and its MC Commitments and USD Commitments, if any, in full to one or more
Assignees (each a “Replacement Bank”) in accordance with applicable law and the provisions of
Section 11.1(c) and the Company shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in
connection with any such assignment from a Non-Consenting Bank or Requesting Bank and the
Defaulting Bank shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such
assignment from such Defaulting Bank; provided, (i) (A) on the date of such assignment, the
Replacement Bank shall pay to such Terminated Bank the aggregate principal amount of all
outstanding Loans, MC Swingline Exposure and USD Swingline Exposure of the Terminated Bank and,
subject to clauses (B) and (C) hereof, all other Obligations owing to such Terminated Bank under
this Agreement, (B) on the date any such fees shall be due as provided in Section 2.8,
subject to Section 2.11, the Replacement Bank shall pay all accrued, but theretofore unpaid
fees owing to such Terminated Bank and (C) on the date any accrued interest shall be due as
provided in Section 2.3, the Replacement Bank shall pay all accrued, but theretofore unpaid
interest owing to such Terminated Bank and (ii) in the event such Terminated Bank is a
Non-Consenting Bank, each Replacement Bank shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to such
proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent or (2) so long as no MC Swingline

a participating interest pursuant to Section 2.14, elect to terminate such Bank’s MC
Commitment and USD Commitment (as the case may be) and obligations to make Loans and acquire such
participating interest in MC Swingline Loans and USD Swingline Loans hereunder, provided that the
Company shall send written notice to such Bank specifying a date at least 3 Business Days after the
date of such notice on which such Bank’s MC Commitment and USD Commitment (as the case may be) and
obligation to make Loans and acquire participating interests in MC Swingline Loans and USD
Swingline Loans hereunder shall be terminated. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any
Terminated Bank and the termination of such Terminated Bank’s MC Commitments or USD Commitments, if
any, such Terminated Bank shall no longer constitute a “Bank” for purposes hereof; provided, that
such Terminated Bank shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14,
3.4(b), 4.3, 11.4, 11.9, 12.1(b), 12.1.(c), and
12.1(d) (in each case, to the extent such obligations arose prior to the effective date of
the Assignment Agreement applicable thereto). Each Bank agrees that if the Company exercises its
option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Bank as a Terminated Bank, the Administrative Agent
may execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in
accordance with Section 11.1(c) on behalf of a Non-Consenting Bank or Terminated Bank and
any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of
documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 11.1(c).

Section 2.13 Redesignation of Settlement Loans. During any Business Day on which
Settlement Loans remain outstanding, the Company may deliver to the Collateral Agent a notice,
substantially in the form of Exhibit K (a “Notice of Redesignation”), pursuant to which the
Company may redesignate (i) one or more Settlement Loans previously designated as Company Pool
Loans as Clearing Fund Pool Loans for any Clearing Business or (ii) one or more Settlement Loans
previously designated as Clearing Fund Pool Loans for any Clearing Business as Company Pool Loans
and, if such Settlement Loans are being redesignated as Clearing Fund Pool Loans, shall specify the
applicable Clearing Business; provided, that (x) if such redesignation is in respect of a
Settlement Loan to be redesignated as a Clearing Fund Pool Loan, the aggregate principal amount of
all the applicable Clearing Fund Pool Loans outstanding as of the date of such redesignation, after
giving effect to such redesignation, shall not exceed the applicable Clearing Fund Borrowing Base
(as determined by the Company and confirmed to the Company by the Collateral Agent (with the
Collateral Agent’s determination controlling in the event of any discrepancy)) and (y) if such
redesignation is in respect of a Settlement Loan to be redesignated as a Company Pool Loan, the
aggregate principal amount of all Company Pool Loans outstanding as of the date of such

(a) Each MC Swingline Bank shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent of any
outstanding MC Swingline Loan and the MC Banks shall acquire participating interests in any

Swingline Loan) or pro rata among the Banks that failed to timely make available the MC Revolving
Loans covered by such MC Swingline Loan (in the case of an MC Covering Swingline Loan) not later
than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day following any Business Day on which
an MC Swingline Loan is made by such MC Swingline Bank. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the

such MC Bank’s share of such MC Swingline Loan. Each MC Bank hereby absolutely and unconditionally
agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
account of the MC Swingline Bank, such MC Bank’s share of such MC Swingline Loan. Each MC Bank
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participating interests in Swingline MC
Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or
termination of the MC Commitments or the Aggregate MC Commitment, and that each such payment shall
be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Bank shall comply
with its obligation under this Section in the same manner as provided in Section 4.1 with
respect to MC Loans made by such MC Bank (and Section 4.2 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to
the payment obligations of the MC Banks), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such
MC Swingline Bank the amounts so received by it from the MC Banks. The Administrative Agent shall
notify the Company of any participating interest in any MC Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this
Section. Any amounts received from the Company (or other party on behalf of the Company) in

participating interests therein shall be promptly remitted through the Administrative Agent to the
MC Banks that shall have made their payments pursuant to this Section and to the applicable MC
Swingline Bank, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be
repaid to the Administrative Agent, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to
the Company for any reason. The purchase of participating interests in an MC Swingline Loan
pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Company of any default in the payment thereof.

(b) Each USD Swingline Bank shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent of any
outstanding USD Swingline Loan and the USD Banks shall acquire participating interests in any
outstanding USD Swingline Loan pro rata in accordance with their respective USD Commitments and
Applicable Percentage thereof (in the case of a USD Swingline Loan that is not an USD Covering
Swingline Loan) or pro rata among the Banks that failed to timely make available the USD Revolving
Loans covered by such USD Swingline Loan (in the case of a USD Covering Swingline Loan) not later
than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day following any Business Day on which
an USD Swingline Loan is made by such USD Swingline Bank. Promptly upon receipt of such notice,

notice such USD Bank’s share of such USD Swingline Loan. Each USD Bank hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the USD Swingline Bank, such USD Bank’s share of such USD Swingline Loan.
Each USD Bank acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participating interests in
Swingline USD Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or
reduction or termination of the USD Commitments or the Aggregate USD Commitment, and that each such
payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each
Bank shall comply with its obligation under this Section in the same manner as provided in
Section 4.1 with respect to USD Loans made by such USD Bank (and Section 4.2 shall
apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the USD Banks), and the Administrative Agent

The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of any participating interest in any USD
Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this Section. Any amounts received from the Company (or other
party on behalf of the Company) in respect of an USD Swingline Loan after receipt by the USD
Swingline Bank of the proceeds of a sale of participating interests therein shall be promptly
remitted through the Administrative Agent to the USD Banks that shall have made their payments
pursuant to this Section and to the applicable USD Swingline Bank, as their interests may appear;
provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Administrative Agent, if and to
the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Company for any reason. The purchase of
participating interests in an USD Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the
Company of any default in the payment thereof.

ARTICLE III

FUNDING THE CREDITS

Section 3.1 Method of Borrowing.

(a) To request an Advance hereunder, the Company shall:

(i) give notification, by telephone (which notification shall be made on the Borrowing
Date, may be made either before or after delivery of the Advance Request referred to in
clause (ii) below and shall be subject to Section 3.5(b)), to the Administrative
Agent that the Advance Request has been or will be delivered to the Administrative Agent
and, if not yet delivered, the amount of the Advance, the applicable Facility and the
applicable currency that will be requested in such Advance Request (such telephone
notification, the “Advance Request Confirmation”),

(ii) deliver, by facsimile and by email (x) not later than 4:45 p.m. (New York City
time) on any Business Day in the case of any Advance to be denominated in Dollars and (y)
not later than 10:00 a.m. (London time) on any Business Day in the case of any Advance to be
denominated in an Alternative Currency:

(A) a notice to the Administrative Agent of such request for Revolving Loans
or Swingline Loans in substantially the form of Exhibit I attached
hereto (an “Advance Request”), which Advance Request shall be delivered to
the Administrative Agent’s Office applicable for the currency to be included
in such Advance, and shall specify:

(1) the aggregate amount of the requested Advance;

(2) the date of such Advance, which shall be a Business Day;

(3) whether such Advance is requested under the USD Credit
Facility or the MC Credit Facility;

(4) whether such Advance is requested as a Revolving Loan or a
Swingline Loan;

(5) the currency of the Loans to be borrowed (if the Company
fails to specify a currency in an Advance Request, then the Loan
so requested shall be made in Dollars);

(6) the location and number of the Company’s account to which
funds are to be disbursed, which shall be a deposit account of
the Company’s maintained with the Administrative Agent; and

(7) whether the requested Loans are being designated as
Settlement Loans, as GFX Loans or as CMECE Loans and, in the
case of Settlement Loans, whether the Settlement Loans are being
designated as Clearing Fund Pool Loans or Company Pool Loans for
the purpose of calculations relating to the Borrowing Base and,
if the Settlement Loans are being designated as Clearing Fund
Pool Loans, specifying the applicable Clearing Business, and

(B) a notice to the Collateral Agent in substantially the form of
Exhibit J attached hereto detailing the Collateral pledged by the
Company to secure the requested Loans (a “Collateral Notice”), which
Collateral Notice shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent’s Office, and

(iii)  give separate notification, by telephone, to the Collateral Agent that the
Collateral Notice has been delivered to the Collateral Agent. Concurrently with, or shortly
following, or in lieu of, its making an Advance Request in respect of Revolving Loans, the
Company may also make an Advance Request in respect of Swingline Loans.

An Advance Request in respect of MC Swingline Loans shall also specify (1) the MC Banks being
requested to act as an “MC Swingline Bank” with respect to such Advance and make MC Swingline Loans
and the respective amounts thereof, and (2) if such MC Swingline Loans are being requested on the
same day as any MC Revolving Loans, whether such MC Swingline Loans are to cover for any MC
Revolving Loans not made available to the Administrative Agent in a timely manner (any such MC
Swingline Loan, an “MC Covering Swingline Loan”) or are simply being requested in addition to such
MC Revolving Loans. If any MC Swingline Loans being requested are MC Covering Swingline Loans, the
Administrative Agent shall first, use the proceeds of the MC Revolving Loans timely made
available to it to fund the requested MC Advance as provided in Section 3.1(b), and
second, fund the remaining portion of the requested MC Advance, if any, with the proceeds
made available to it in respect of one or more MC Covering Swingline Loans, subject to Section
3.1(c). For the avoidance of doubt, the provision of MC Swingline Loans by any MC Swingline
Bank shall be in addition to, and shall not relieve such MC Bank from its obligation to make MC
Revolving Loans ratably in proportion to the amount of, its MC Commitment.

An Advance Request in respect of USD Swingline Loans shall also specify (1) the USD Banks being
requested to act as a “USD Swingline Bank” with respect to such Advance and make USD Swingline
Loans and the respective amounts thereof, and (2) if such USD Swingline Loans are being requested
on the same day as any USD Revolving Loans, whether such USD Swingline Loans are to cover for any
USD Revolving Loans not made available to the Administrative Agent in a timely manner (any such USD
Swingline Loan, a “USD Covering Swingline Loan”; and collectively with any MC Covering Swingline
Loans, “Covering Swingline Loans”, and each a “Covering Swingline Loan”) or are simply being
requested in addition to such USD Revolving Loans. If any USD Swingline Loans being requested are
USD Covering Swingline Loans, the Administrative Agent shall first, use the proceeds of the
USD Revolving Loans timely made available to it to fund the requested USD Advance as provided in
Section 3.1(b), and second, fund the remaining portion of the requested USD
Advance, if any, with the proceeds made available to it in respect of one or more USD Covering
Swingline Loans, subject to Section 3.1(c). For the avoidance of doubt, the provision of
USD Swingline Loans by any USD Swingline Bank shall be in addition to, and shall not relieve such
USD Bank from its obligation to make USD Revolving Loans ratably in proportion to the amount of,
its USD Commitment.

In the event the Company is unable to submit any such notices via facsimile (due to operational
difficulties or otherwise), the Administrative Agent may, to the extent commercially reasonable and
following telephone notices by the Company requesting same, agree to accept such notices via other
electronic delivery methods.

(b) Advance Determination.

(i) Immediately following the delivery of an Advance Request in accordance with
Section 3.1(a), the Administrative Agent shall (A) notify each Bank with a
commitment under the applicable Facility in writing of the Company’s request for an Advance
and such Bank’s pro rata share of the Advance (any such notice, a “Bank Notice”) (and to the
extent the Company has delivered a form FR U-1 in connection with such request, make
available to the Banks such form FR U-1 via the Platform or other approved method of
delivery) and (B) provide to the Collateral Agent (x) a copy of the applicable Advance
Request Confirmation and (y) the principal amount of MC Loans and USD Loans then
outstanding (and before giving effect to such Advance requested in such Advance Request
Confirmation) (any such notice, a “Outstanding Loan Notice”).

(ii) The Collateral Agent shall, within 45 minutes of receipt of the later of the
applicable Collateral Notice and the Outstanding Loan Notice, (i) determine the Market Value
of the applicable Clearing Fund Collateral Pool or the Company Collateral Pool, as
applicable, and the corresponding Borrowing Base, (ii) notify the Company (by telephone at
the contact information provided in the Advance Request) and the Administrative Agent (by
telephone at the contact information set forth on Schedule 13.1) of the Collateral
Agent’s determination of the Market Value of the applicable Collateral Pool and the
corresponding Borrowing Base and whether such applicable Collateral Pool is sufficient for
the corresponding Borrowing Base to collateralize the Company’s requested Advance (after
giving effect to any concurrent redesignation pursuant to Section 2.13).

(iii) Subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in
Article V, (x) in the case of an Advance denominated in Dollars, not later than the
later of (A) the earlier of (1) 60 minutes following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of
the applicable Advance Notice and (2) 5:45 p.m. (New York City time) or (B) immediately as
commercially practicable after Administrative Agent receipt of such proceeds provided by the
Banks pursuant to Section 4.1, or (y) in the case of an Advance denominated in an
Alternative Currency, not later than the later of (A) the earlier of (1) 90 minutes
following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the applicable Advance Notice and 11:30 a.m.
(London time) or (B) immediately as commercially practicable after Administrative Agent
receipt of such proceeds provided by the Banks pursuant to Section 4.1, the
Administrative Agent shall, using the proceeds provided by the Banks pursuant to Section
4.1 for such requested Advance, or any additional proceeds that may be provided on
behalf of the Banks by the Administrative Agent as provided in this Agreement, make
available to the Company in immediately available funds the requested Advance (or, if such
Collateral Pool is not then sufficient to collateralize the requested Advance as required
hereby, the portion thereof that is so collateralized by such Collateral Pool) by depositing
such funds into the deposit account of the Company maintained with the Administrative Agent
specified in the Advance Request; provided that, in the event that the applicable Collateral
Pool is not sufficient to so collateralize the requested Advance, the Collateral Agent shall
notify the Company and the Administrative Agent thereof and the Company may post additional
Collateral to the applicable Collateral Pool within one Business Day of such notice
(including, without limitation, by withdrawing any Company Security in accordance with
Section 2.9(b) and posting such Company Security as additional Collateral with
respect to the applicable Clearing Fund Collateral Pool) and upon the posting of such
additional Collateral to the applicable Collateral Pool, the Administrative Agent shall make
available to the Company a corresponding amount of the funds deposited by the Banks in
accordance with Section 4.1. In the event that the Company fails to post sufficient
additional Collateral to the applicable Collateral Pool to collateralize the requested
Advance as required hereby within one Business Day following such notice from the Collateral
Agent of the insufficiency of the applicable Collateral Pool, the Administrative Agent shall
return any excess proceeds provided by the Banks to the Banks ratably in accordance with the
amounts funded by each Bank.

(c) If an Advance Request is made in respect of MC Covering Swingline Loans, (i) the portion
thereof made available by any applicable MC Swingline Bank to the Administrative Agent and not
required to cover for MC Revolving Loans shall be promptly returned to such MC Swingline Banks on a
pro rata basis in accordance with the respective amounts made available by such MC Swingline Banks
and (ii) the proceeds of MC Revolving Loans subsequently made available to the Administrative Agent
shall be distributed to such MC Swingline Banks as a prepayment of the principal of such MC
Covering Swingline Loans, with such distribution to be made to such MC Swingline Banks on such a
pro rata basis. Each MC Swingline Bank that makes any MC Covering Swingline Loan which is not made
available to the Company and is promptly returned as contemplated above shall be entitled to
compensation for such MC Covering Swingline Loan from the Company as determined by such MC
Swingline Bank in accordance with its customary practices (provided that any such
compensation shall not exceed the interest payable in respect of any MC Advance until the next
Business Day pursuant to Section 3.3); and any MC Covering Swingline Loan which is made
available to the Company shall earn interest, payable by the Company, in accordance with
Section 3.3.

(d) If an Advance Request is made in respect of USD Covering Swingline Loans, (i) the portion
thereof made available by any applicable USD Swingline Bank to the Administrative Agent and not
required to cover for USD Revolving Loans shall be promptly returned to such USD Swingline Banks on
a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective amounts made available by such USD Swingline
Banks and (ii) the proceeds of USD Revolving Loans subsequently made available to the
Administrative Agent shall be distributed to such USD Swingline Banks as a prepayment of the
principal of such USD Covering Swingline Loans, with such distribution to be made to such USD
Swingline Banks on such a pro rata basis. Each USD Swingline Bank that makes any USD Covering
Swingline Loan which is not made available to the Company and is promptly returned as contemplated
above shall be entitled to compensation for such USD Covering Swingline Loan from the Company as
determined by such USD Swingline Bank in accordance with its customary practices (provided
that any such compensation shall not exceed the interest payable in respect of any USD Advance
until the next Business Day pursuant to Section 3.3); and any USD Covering Swingline Loan
which is made available to the Company shall earn interest, payable by the Company, in accordance
with Section 3.3.

Section 3.2 Minimum Amount of Each Advance. Except in the case of a Test Draw, each
Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $10,000,000 (and in integral multiples of $250,000 if in

Section 3.4 Method of Payment.

(a) All payments (including prepayments) of principal, interest, commitment fees and other
amounts payable hereunder by the Company shall, subject to Section 11.4 be made without
setoff, defense, recoupment or counterclaim in immediately available funds to the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Banks, at any time up to 12:00 noon, New York City time
(or with respect to principal and interest payable with respect to MC Loans denominated in an
Alternative Currency, 2:30 p.m. London time), on the date when due at the Administrative Agent’s
Office for the applicable currency. Any amount received after such time on any date shall be
deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating
interest thereon. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the
date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any
payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All
payments hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America, except that
payments of principal and interest in respect of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency
shall be made in such Alternative Currency.

(b) Except with respect to payments made to a Bank whose MC Commitment or USD Commitment is
terminated pursuant to Section 2.12, (A) all payments of principal of, and interest on, any
Advance under a Facility shall be made by the Administrative Agent to the Banks under such Facility
ratably among such Banks, in proportion to the outstanding principal amount of their respective
Loans constituting part of such Advance and (B) all payments of commitment fees and other amounts
payable hereunder by the Administrative Agent to the Banks under a Facility shall be made to the
Banks under such Facility ratably among such Banks, in proportion to the amounts thereof owing to
them. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent
to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due under a Facility, such funds
shall be applied first, towards payment of all Obligations in respect of Swingline Loans
under such Facility, second, towards payment of interest and fees then due in respect of
Revolving Loans under such Facility, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with
the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and third, towards payment of
principal then due in respect of Revolving Loans under such Facility, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(c) If any Bank shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.14, 4.1 or 4.3(b), then the Administrative Agent may, in its
discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received
by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank to satisfy such Bank’s obligations under
such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, but any such application shall
not affect the discharge of the Company of its obligations in respect of which such amounts were
received.

Section 3.5 Notes; Telephonic Notices. (a) Each Bank shall maintain in accordance
with its usual and customary practices an account or accounts evidencing the Loans made by such
Bank from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such
Bank from time to time under this Agreement and the Loans. Any Bank may request that Loans made by
it be evidenced by one or more promissory notes (any such promissory note, a “Note”), and in such
event, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Bank a Note payable to such Bank or
to such Bank and its registered assigns substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 or
Exhibit A-2 hereto, as applicable. Each Bank is hereby authorized to record the principal
amount of each of its Loans and each repayment on the schedule attached to its applicable Note, as
applicable, or in its books and records; provided, however, that the failure to so
record shall not affect the Company’s obligations in respect of any Loan. The Administrative Agent
shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and
the information with respect to such Loan described in Section 3.1(a)(ii)(A), (ii) the
amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Company
to each Bank hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent
hereunder from the Company and each Bank’s share thereof. The entries maintained in the accounts
maintained by the Banks and the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall be prima facie
evidence (absent manifest error) of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded;
provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Bank to
maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the
Company to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. In the event the records maintained by
a Bank conflict with the records maintained by the Administrative Agent, the records maintained by
the Administrative Agent shall control.

(b) The Company hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to extend Advances (using the
proceeds provided by the Banks pursuant to Section 4.1 and otherwise in accordance with
Section 3.1) based on telephonic notices made by any Persons the Administrative Agent in
good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Company.

Section 3.6 Interest Payment Dates; Interest Basis. Interest accrued on each Advance
prior to the applicable Loan Maturity Date shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the applicable Banks on the date on which the Advance is paid or prepaid, whether due to
acceleration or otherwise. Interest accrued on each Advance after its applicable Loan Maturity
Date shall be payable on demand. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of (i) in the case of
interest in respect of Loans denominated in Dollars, a year of 360 days for actual days elapsed, or
(ii) (x) in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Euros, a year of 360 days for
actual days elapsed or (y) in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Sterling, a
year of 365 days for actual days elapsed, or as to which market practice differs from the
foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Commitment fees shall be calculated on the
basis of a year of 360 days for actual days elapsed.

intend to make available its share of an Advance, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Bank has made or will make such payment and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such
assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to the Company the proceeds of the Loan to
be made by such Bank and, if any Bank has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative
Agent, such Bank shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to the
Company attributable to such Bank together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the
period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Company and ending on (but
excluding) the date such Bank pays such amount to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum
equal to: (i) from the date the related advance was made by the Administrative Agent to the date
two (2) Business Days after payment by such Bank is due hereunder, the Applicable Lender Overnight
Rate for each such day and (ii) from the date two (2) Business Days after the date such payment is
due from such Bank to the date such payment is made by such Bank, (x) with respect any such payment
denominated in Euro, the Overnight Euribor Rate in effect for each such day plus 1.25%, (y) with
respect any such denominated in Sterling, the Overnight Libor Rate in effect for each such day plus
1.25% plus any Mandatory Cost, and (z) with respect to all other payments, the Federal Funds Rate
in effect for each such day plus 1.25%. If such amount is not received from such Bank by the
Administrative Agent immediately upon demand, the Company will, on demand, repay to the
Administrative Agent the proceeds of the Loan attributable to such Bank with interest thereon at a
rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.

(b) The failure of any Bank to make a payment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of
the Loan to be made by such Bank shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation hereunder to
make payment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a Loan, but no Bank shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make the payment required to be made by such other
Bank.

Section 4.3 Distribution of Payments.

(a) Whenever the Administrative Agent receives from, or on behalf of the Company, or any other
person or party, a payment of principal, interest or commitment fees or other amount payable
hereunder with respect to any of which the applicable Banks are entitled to receive a share, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Banks, in the currency so received, the amount due
each of such Banks as determined pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however,
that the amount of such distribution shall be adjusted to the extent that amounts are owed by any
Bank to the Administrative Agent or as otherwise provided by Sections 2.14,
3.1(c)(ii), 3.1(d)(ii), 3.4(c) or 4.2 or subsection (b)
hereof. If any payment of principal, interest or commitment fees or other amount payable in
connection with the Loans is received from or on behalf of the Company by the Administrative Agent
before 12:00 noon (New York City time), or 2:30 p.m. (London time) in the case of Alternative
Currencies, on any Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to wire
transfer the appropriate portion of the same to the applicable Banks that same Business Day, but in
any event shall wire the same to each of such Banks before the end of the next Business Day.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks hereunder
that the Company will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Company
has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be required to),
in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Banks the amount due. In such event, if the
Company has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Banks severally agrees to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Bank together with
interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the Business Day
immediately following the date of such demand and ending on (but excluding) the date of payment to
the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the Business Day immediately
following the date of such demand to the date two (2) Business Days after such date, the Applicable
Lender Overnight Rate for each such day and (ii) from the date two (2) Business Days after the
Business Day immediately following such demand to the date such payment is made by such Bank, (x)
with respect any such payment denominated in Euro, the Overnight Euribor Rate in effect for each
such day plus 1.25%, (y) with respect any such payment denominated in Sterling, the Overnight Libor
Rate in effect for each such day plus 1.25% plus any Mandatory Cost, and (z) with respect to all
other payments, the Federal Funds Rate in effect for each such day plus 1.25%.

Section 4.4 Rescission of Payments by the Company. If all or part of any payment made
by the Company to Administrative Agent of principal, interest or commitment fees or other amount
payable in connection with the Loans is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason and
if Administrative Agent has paid to any of the Banks such Bank’s ratable share therein, such Bank
shall, upon telephone notice from Administrative Agent, forthwith pay to Administrative Agent, on
the date of such telephone notice (if notice is received by such Bank at or prior to 12:00 noon,
New York City time) (or 2:30 p.m. (London time) in the case of Alternative Currencies) or on the
next Business Day (if notice is received by Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon, New York City
time or London time, as applicable), an amount equal to such Bank’s ratable interest in the amount
that was rescinded or that must be so returned by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall
promptly return to the Company, or to whomever shall be legally entitled thereto pursuant to an
order of a court of competent jurisdiction, each such amount (or any lesser amount) that is
received from each Bank. Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to the Company for any
amount that Administrative Agent paid to any Bank and that is not repaid by such Bank, provided
that Administrative Agent did in fact provide such Bank with the notice described above to the
effect that such payment was rescinded or must be returned.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The Company represents and warrants to the Agents and the Banks, as of the date hereof and
(except as otherwise specified herein) to the Banks on the date of each Advance, that:

Section 6.1 Corporate Existence and Standing. Each of the Company and the
Subsidiaries is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has all requisite authority to conduct its business
in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted and where the failure to have such
authority would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.2 Authorization and Validity.

(a) The Company has the corporate power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver
the Loan Documents and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by the
Company of the Loan Documents and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly
authorized by proper corporate proceedings. The Company has duly executed and delivered the Loan
Documents, and the Loan Documents constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company,
enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be

generally and by general principles of equity (whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding at
law or in equity).

the Company has the authority, as Member Attorney-in-Fact on behalf of the Clearing Members, to
cause the Security Deposits to be subject to the Lien of the Collateral Documents to secure the
Secured Obligations. Pursuant to CME Rule 817, CBOT Rule 817, NYMEX Rule 817 and any other similar
Rules, as applicable, the Company has the authority, as Member Attorney-in-Fact on behalf of the
Clearing Members, to cause the Performance Bonds of Clearing Members to be subject to the Lien of
the Collateral Documents to secure the Secured Obligations (it being understood that only those
Security Deposits and Performance Bonds which are Eligible Assets shall be pledged under the
Collateral Documents). CME Rules 816, 817, 820 and 913.B, CBOT Rules 816, 817, 820 and 913.B,
NYMEX Rules 816, 817, 820 and 913.B and any other similar Rules, as applicable, each as set forth
in Exhibit H, have been duly adopted and are in full force and effect.

Section 6.3 Compliance with Laws and Contracts. Neither the execution and delivery by
the Company of the Loan Documents, nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated,
nor compliance with the provisions thereof will violate any law, rule, regulation, order, writ,
judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on the Company or any Subsidiary or the Company’s or
any Subsidiary’s articles of incorporation or by-laws or the provisions of any material indenture,
instrument or agreement to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or is subject, or by
which it, or its property, is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder. No
order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or
registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority, or any
subdivision thereof, that has not been obtained is required to authorize, or is required in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance of, or the legality, validity, binding
effect or enforceability of, any of the Loan Documents as against the Company, except for
registration of each Bullion Security Agreement at the Companies Registration Office in England and
Wales under The Overseas Companies (Execution of Documents and Registration of Charges) Regulations
2009 and payment of associated fees.

Section 6.4 Financial Statements. The most recent audited consolidated balance sheet

accountants, and the consolidated balance sheet and statements of income and cash flows of each of
the Company and the Subsidiaries and of Holdings and its subsidiaries as of and for the period
ended on September 30, 2012, certified, in the case of the consolidated financial statements of the
Company and the Subsidiaries, by the Company’s chief financial officer, copies of which have been
heretofore delivered to the Banks and were prepared in accordance with GAAP and fairly present in
all material respects the consolidated financial condition and operations of the Company and the
Subsidiaries or of Holdings and its subsidiaries, as the case may be, at such dates and the
consolidated results of each of their operations for the periods covered thereby, subject to
year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements for the
period ended on September 30, 2012.

Section 6.5 Material Adverse Change. As of the Closing Date, no material adverse
change in the business, financial condition, or results of operations of the Company and the
Subsidiaries has occurred since the date of the audited financial statements referred to in
Section 6.4.

Section 6.6 Subsidiaries. Schedule I contains an accurate list of all of the
Subsidiaries of the Company existing as of the Closing Date, setting forth their respective

Company or other Subsidiaries. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of such
Subsidiaries have been duly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.

Section 6.7 Accuracy of Information. No written information (other than projections,
forward-looking statements or other information of a general economic or industry nature, it being
understood that projections and forward-looking statements have been prepared by Holdings, the
Company or any Subsidiary in good faith), exhibit or report furnished by Holdings, the Company or
any Subsidiary to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Bank in connection with the
negotiation of the Loan Documents or, in the case of the Company, the performance thereof,

less than 25% of those assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries which are subject to any
limitation on sale, pledge, or other restriction hereunder. No proceeds of any Loans will be used

purpose that violates the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System as now and from time to time hereafter in effect.

Section 6.9 Taxes. The Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States
federal Tax returns and all other material Tax returns which are required to be filed by any of
them and have paid all Taxes shown to be due and payable pursuant to said returns or pursuant to

the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company which might reasonably be expected to materially
adversely affect (a) as of the Closing Date, except as set forth in Schedule II attached

shall be governed by the Rules or rules substantially similar to the Rules) including relating to
in and in respect of any of its futures, interest rate swaps or credit default swaps clearing
business (each, a “Clearing Business”). Additionally, the Company may only use the proceeds of the
Advances designated in the applicable Advance Request (A) as “GFX Loans” (“GFX Loans”) to fulfill
its obligations under GFX Guaranties, provided, however, that the Company may use
the proceeds for GFX Loans only up to the amount of net working capital on any given day or (B) as
“CMECE Loans” (“CMECE Loans”) for the purpose of funding advances to CMECE. Additionally, the
Company from time to time may conduct Test Draws which shall be repaid on the Business Day
immediately following the Borrowing Date thereof. The Company will not, nor will it permit any
Subsidiary to, use any of the proceeds of the Loans to “buy” or “carry” any “margin stock” (each as
defined in Regulation U) or for any purpose that violates the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of
the Board of the Federal Reserve System as now and from time to time hereafter in effect.

Section 7.3 Notice of Default. The Company will, and will cause each Subsidiary to,
give prompt notice in writing to the Banks of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default
and of any other development, financial or otherwise, which would reasonably be expected to
materially adversely affect its business, properties or affairs or the ability of the Company to
repay the Obligations.

Section 7.4 Conduct of Business. The Company will, and will cause each Subsidiary to,
carry on and conduct its business in substantially the same manner and in substantially the same
fields of enterprise as it is presently conducted and to do all things necessary to remain duly
incorporated, validly existing and in good standing as a domestic corporation in its jurisdiction
of incorporation and maintain all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction
in which its business is conducted and where the failure to have such authority would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 7.5 Compliance with Laws. The Company will, and will cause each Subsidiary
to, comply with all laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or
awards to which it may be subject, except where the failure to so comply would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 7.6 Books and Records; Inspection Rights. The Company will, and will cause
each of its Subsidiaries to, permit the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent or its
representatives and agents, to inspect any of the properties, corporate books and financial records
of the Company and each Subsidiary, to examine and make copies of the books of accounts and other
financial records of the Company and each Subsidiary, and to discuss the affairs, finances and
accounts of the Company and each Subsidiary (the foregoing activities, an “Audit”) with, and to be
advised as to the same by, their respective officers at such reasonable times and intervals as the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may designate; provided that so long as no
Default has occurred and is continuing the Company shall only be responsible for the costs and
expenses of one Audit per 12-month period.

Section 7.7 Consolidated Tangible Net Worth. The Company will maintain at all times a
Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of not less than the greater of (i) an amount equal to 12.5% of the
Aggregate Commitments in effect at such time or (ii) $100,000,000.

Section 7.8 Liens. The Company will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, create
or incur any Lien in or on any of the Collateral, except:

(a) Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent.

(b) Liens in favor of the Company, which Liens are subordinated to the Liens in favor of the
Collateral Agent in accordance with Article XV hereof.

(c) [Reserved]

(d) In the case of any Collateral, Liens arising out of judgments or awards against the
Company or any Subsidiary, in an amount of not more than $5,000,000 in the aggregate, which
judgment or award is vacated, discharged, satisfied or stayed or bonded pending appeal within 60
days from the entry thereof; provided that the Company shall have pledged to the Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of the Banks, without the necessity of any notice or demand, such additional
Collateral under the applicable Collateral Pool under the Collateral Documents having an aggregate
Discounted Value necessary to cause the applicable Borrowing Base to be not less than the aggregate
principal amount of the applicable Clearing Fund Pool Loans or the Company Pool Loans then
outstanding, as the case may be.

Section 7.9 Additional Clearing Members. Upon any Person becoming a Clearing Member,
to the extent such Person’s assets are included in any Clearing Fund Borrowing Base, such Clearing
Member will execute and deliver a supplement to the Security and Pledge Agreement, substantially in
the form of Exhibit A thereto, joining such Clearing Member as a party to the Security and Pledge
Agreement and a supplement to each applicable Control Agreement joining such Clearing Member as a
party to such Control Agreement; provided that, in the case of (a) any Money Fund Shares of
such Clearing Member, joining such Clearing Member as a party to the applicable Money Fund Control
Agreement shall be conditioned upon, but shall occur prior to or simultaneously with, such Money
Fund Shares being included in the applicable Clearing Fund Collateral Pool, (b) any Citibank
Securities Account of such Clearing Member, joining such Clearing Member as a party to the
applicable Citibank Securities Account Control Agreement shall be conditioned upon, but shall occur
prior to or simultaneously with, such Citibank Securities Account being included in the applicable
Clearing Fund Collateral Pool and (c) any Harris Deposit Account of such Clearing Member, joining
such Clearing Member as party to the Harris Deposit Account Control Agreement shall be conditioned
upon, but shall occur prior to or simultaneously with such Harris Deposit Account being included in
the applicable Clearing Fund Collateral Pool. If any Clearing Member becomes a party to any Loan
Document and is a member of an exchange which is qualified to clear trades through the Clearing
House other than CME, CBOT or NYMEX, then the Company shall promptly (upon such Person’s becoming a
Clearing Member) update Exhibit H (which it shall be permitted to do for this purpose) to
include the relevant Rules of such exchange for purposes of the Loan Documents.

Section 7.10 Rule Changes. The Company will not, without the prior written consent of
the Banks, amend, revoke, or rescind any Rule in any manner that would have a materially adverse
effect on the Lien granted to the Collateral Agent in the Collateral or the ability of the
Collateral Agent to enforce any of its rights under the Collateral Documents. Changes to the Rules
may be made that have or could have the effect of decreasing the ability of the Company to pledge
any assets (but not decreasing the ability of the Company to continue the pledge of any assets
currently included in the Borrowing Base for any outstanding Loans) or limit the purposes for which
such assets can be pledged, but any such change shall not affect any Eligible Asset during the
period such asset is pledged as Collateral prior to its withdrawal from the Company Collateral Pool
or any Clearing Fund Collateral Pool, as the case may be.

Section 7.11 Taxes. The Company will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, pay when due
all Taxes, assessments and governmental charges and levies upon it or its income, profits or
property, except those (i) which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and
with respect to which adequate reserves required in accordance with GAAP have been set aside on the
books of the Company or such Subsidiary, as applicable, or (ii) as to which the failure to pay
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 7.12 Insurance. The Company will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, maintain
with financially sound and reputable insurance companies insurance on all their property in such
amounts and covering such risks as is consistent with sound business practice in the industry, and
the Company will furnish to the Administrative Agent upon request of any Bank information as to the
insurance carried. The Administrative Agent shall furnish such information to each Bank.

Section 7.13 Fundamental Changes. The Company will not merge into or consolidate with
any other Person, unless the Company is the surviving Person, or liquidate or dissolve.

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

Section 9.1 Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 8.6 or
8.7 occurs, the obligations of the Banks to make Loans hereunder shall automatically
terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or
action on the part of any Bank or the Administrative Agent. If any other Default occurs, and for
so long as it is continuing, the Administrative Agent upon the consent of the Required Banks may,
or upon the direction of the Required Banks shall, terminate or suspend the Aggregate Commitments
of the Banks to make Loans hereunder, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both,
whereupon such Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand,
protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Company hereby expressly waives. In addition, at
any time after which the Obligations have become due and payable and the obligations of the Banks
to make Loans hereunder have terminated in accordance with this Section 9.1, the Collateral
Agent may, with the consent of the Required Banks (or shall, upon the direction of the Required
Banks), enforce any and all rights and interest created under the Collateral Documents or the UCC,
including, without limitation, foreclosing the security interests created pursuant to the
Collateral Documents by any available judicial procedure, and exercise all other rights and
remedies of the Collateral Agent otherwise available under any other provision of this Agreement,
by operation of law, at equity or otherwise, all of which are hereby expressly preserved and all of
which rights shall be cumulative.

Section 9.2 Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.2, the
Required Banks or the Administrative Agent (with the written consent of the Required Banks) and, in
either case, the Company may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or
modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Banks or
the Company hereunder or waiving any Default hereunder; provided, however, that:

(a) no amendment, waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement shall (i) (x)
change the percentage in the definition of the terms “Required Banks” or “Supermajority Banks” or
any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Banks required to waive, amend or
modify any rights hereunder or give any direction or grant any consent hereunder (other than the
definitions specified in clauses (y) and (z) of this Section 9.2(a)(i)) without the consent
of all of the Banks, (y) change the percentage in the definition of the term “Required MC Banks”
without the written consent of each MC Bank, or (z) change the percentage in the definition of the
term “Required USD Banks” without the written consent of each USD Bank, (ii) reduce the principal
amount of or extend the scheduled date of payment for any Advance beyond the Revolving Credit
Termination Date, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon without the
consent of each Bank directly affected thereby, (iii) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment
of any commitment fee without the consent of each Bank directly affected thereby, (iv) adjust the
amount of the MC Commitment or USD Commitment of any Bank except as otherwise permitted herein or
postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any MC Commitment or USD Commitment without the
consent of each Bank directly affected thereby, (v) amend Section 2.6, 3.4(b)
(solely with respect to pro rata treatment of payments to the Banks), 4.3 (solely with
respect to pro rata treatment of payments to the Banks), this Section 9.2, or Section
12.1(b) or (c) without the consent of each Bank directly affected thereby, (vi) extend
the Revolving Credit Termination Date without the consent of each Bank directly affected thereby,
(vii) permit the Company to assign its rights under this Agreement without the consent of all of
the Banks, (viii) subject to clause (c) below, amend the definition of “Eligible Assets”, “Advance
Rate”, “Concentration Limit”, “Minimum Credit Rating”, “Borrowing Base”, “Clearing Fund Borrowing
Base”, “Company Borrowing Base” and “Discounted Value”, the provisions of Annex I hereto or
Section 5.2(c), (d), (e) or (f) hereto, in each case without the
consent of the Supermajority Banks, (ix) release any of the Collateral from the Lien granted
pursuant to the Collateral Documents to the extent that on the date of such release the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of all Clearing Fund Pool Loans for the applicable Clearing Business
or all Company Pool Loans exceed, or will immediately after such release and any concurrent
redesignation pursuant to Section 2.13 exceed, the applicable Borrowing Base, other than as
permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including without limitation
Section 2.9 of this Agreement) without the consent of the Supermajority Banks, (x) amend,
modify or waive any provision of Section 2.11 or the definition of the term “Defaulting
Bank” (or the definition of any component thereof) without the consent of the Required Banks and
the Administrative Agent (for the avoidance of doubt, this clause (x) shall be the only clause in
this subsection applicable to any such amendment, modification or waiver of Section 2.11 or
the definition of the term “Defaulting Bank”) or (xi) impose any greater restriction on the ability
of any Bank under a Facility to assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the
written consent of (i) if such Facility is the USD Credit Facility, the Required USD Lenders and
(ii) if such Facility is the MC Credit Facility, the Required MC Lenders;

(b) the Company may (i) add one or more new Banks or increase the MC Commitment or USD
Commitment of an existing Bank, in each case pursuant to Section 2.10 without the consent
of any other Bank and (ii) in connection with the removal or replacement of any Bank in accordance
with Section 2.12, (A) reduce the Aggregate MC Commitments or Aggregate USD Commitments up
to the amount of any Terminated Bank’s MC Commitment or USD Commitment, respectively, without the
consent of any other Bank and (B) add one or more Replacement Banks in accordance with applicable
law and the provisions of Section 11.1(c); provided, however, that each
such new Bank or Replacement Bank shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this
Agreement;

(c) subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Company may modify the Eligible Assets, Advance Rate, the
Concentration Limit, the Minimum Credit Rating, the Borrowing Base, Discounted Value or the
provisions of Annex I hereto at any time, without the consent of the Banks, if such
modification results in an imposition of a more restrictive definition of Eligible Assets, Advance
Rate, Concentration Limit, Minimum Credit Rating, Borrowing Base or Discounted Value or more
restrictive provisions of Annex I than as set forth herein as of the Closing Date;

(d) subject to the consent of the Collateral Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), the Company may add or remove any Securities Account or money market fund to
or from the schedules to the Security and Pledge Agreement as provided in the Security and Pledge
Agreement or any Control Agreement without the consent of the Banks; and

(e) subject to the consent of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent (which
consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and so long as any such amendment does not
impair the perfection or priority of the Lien of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Banks in the
respective Collateral subject to such Control Agreement, the Company may amend any Control
Agreement.

and, provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Banks required above, affect the
rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement; (ii) no amendment, waiver or
consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent in addition to the Banks
required above, affect the rights or duties of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement; (iii) no
amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the respective Swingline Bank
in addition to the Banks required above, affect the rights or duties of such Swingline Bank under
this Agreement; and (iv) the Fee Letters may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived,
in a writing executed only by the respective parties thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, no Defaulting Bank shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment,
waiver or consent hereunder, (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the
consent of all Banks or each affected Bank may be effected with the consent of the applicable Banks
other than Defaulting Banks), except that (x) the USD Commitment or MC Commitment, as applicable,
of such Defaulting Bank may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Bank and (y)
any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank that
by its terms directly affects any Defaulting Bank more adversely than other directly affected Banks
shall require the consent of such Defaulting Bank. The Company shall promptly deliver a copy to
the Administrative Agent of any amendment, waiver or consent which was not required to be executed
by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section.

Section 9.3 Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of any of the Agents or the
Banks to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be
a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the
existence of a Default or the inability of the Company to satisfy the conditions precedent to such
Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence, regardless of whether the Administrative
Agent or any Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. Any single or
partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions
or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless the same shall be permitted by
Section 9.2, and then only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall
be available to the Banks until the Obligations have been paid in full and the Aggregate
Commitments have been terminated.

ARTICLE X

THE AGENTS

Section 10.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Banks and the Collateral Agent
appoints Bank of America N.A. to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers
as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each of the Banks and the Administrative Agent
appoints Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas to act on its behalf as the Collateral Agent
hereunder and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise
such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof together with such actions
and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the
benefit of the Agents and the Banks, and the Company shall not have rights as a third party
beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term
“agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other
implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such
term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an
administrative relationship between contracting parties. Each Bank hereby authorizes the
Collateral Agent to execute each of the Collateral Documents on behalf of such Bank (the terms of
which shall be binding on such Bank) and to release any lien in any Collateral if such release is
provided for in any Loan Document or is otherwise consented to in accordance with Section
9.2.

Section 10.2 Rights as a Bank. The Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have
the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Bank as any other Bank and may exercise the same as
though it were not an Agent and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly
indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as an Agent
hereunder in its capacity as a Bank. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend
money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage
in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such
Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks.

Section 10.3 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations
except those expressly set forth herein and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent:

(a) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default
has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers,
except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is required to
exercise as directed in writing by the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the
Banks as shall be expressly provided for herein), provided that each Agent may refuse to
perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives indemnity from the Banks
satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in
performing such duty or exercising such right or power; provided further that no Agent shall be
required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such
Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, any Loan Document or applicable law,
including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay
under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or similar law or that
may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Bank in violation
of any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or similar law; and

(c) shall, except as expressly set forth herein, have any duty to disclose, or shall be liable
for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings, the Company or any of its
Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as an Agent or any of its
Affiliates in any capacity.

No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at
the request of the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be
necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances
as provided in Sections 9.2 and Article IX ) or (ii) in the absence of its own
gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final
and non-appealable judgment. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and
until notice describing such Default is given in writing to such Agent by the Company or a Bank.
Without limitation of any other provision of this Article X, if any provision of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents is silent or vague (as determined in the good faith of the
applicable Agent), each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action
under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents if it shall not have received written instruction,
advice or concurrence of the Banks, as it deems appropriate.

No Agent shall be required to expend or risk any of its own funds or otherwise incur any
liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or under any
other Loan Document.

No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any
statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in
connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or
other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the
validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document
or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the existence, genuiness, value (other than as
expressly provided by Section 1.4 with respect to the Collateral Agent) or protection of
any Collateral, for the legality, effectiveness or sufficiency of any Collateral Document, or for
the creation, perfection, priority, sufficiency or protection of any Liens securing the Secured
Obligations or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere
herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein or the other Loan Documents shall require the
Collateral Agent to file financing statements or continuation statements, or be responsible for
maintaining the security interests purported to be created as described herein (except for the safe
custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by its
hereunder or under any other Loan Document).

Section 10.4 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall
not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement,
instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet
website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent
or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made
to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall
not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition
hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a
Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Bank unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Bank prior to the
making of such Loan. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or
experts.

Section 10.5 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties
and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by
such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise
its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions
of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of such Agent and any
such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication
of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as such Agent. No Agent shall
be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent such Agent
acted with bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Section 10.6 Resignation or Removal of Agents.

(a) Each Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Banks and the Company.
Further, the Company and the Required Banks may, in the event that an Agent shall become unable to
fulfill any of its duties hereunder (as determined by the Company in its reasonable discretion) or
upon mutual agreement, from time to time request (an “Agent Removal Request”) another Bank to act
as the “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent” hereunder. Upon receipt of any such notice of
resignation or request, the Required Banks shall have the right, with the consent of the Company
(not to be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank or trust company
with an office in the United States. If no such successor Agent shall have been so appointed by
the Required Banks with such consent of the Company and shall have accepted such appointment within
30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be
agreed by the Company and the Required Banks) or 30 days after such Agent Removal Request (the
“Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Banks upon 30 days’
prior written notice to the Company (but shall have no obligation to), appoint a successor
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, which shall be a bank or trust company
with an office in New York, New York and organized under the laws of the United States of America
or any state thereof, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000;
provided that, if the applicable Agent shall notify the Company and such Banks that no
qualifying Person has accepted such appointment or if such Agent has elected not to appoint such a
successor Agent, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such
notice on the Resignation Effective Date and with effect from the Resignation Effective Date (1)
the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (except that in
the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Banks under any
of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such
collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) except
for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring Agent, all payments,
communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Agent shall instead be
made by or to each Bank directly, until such time as a successor Agent is appointed by the Required
Banks or such Agent, as applicable (in each case, with the consent of Company, not to be
unreasonably withheld), as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a
successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with
all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent (other than any
rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Agent as of the
Resignation Effective Date), and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and
obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The
fees payable by the Company to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the retiring
Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.9
shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them
while the retiring Agent was acting as such Agent.

(b) In the event of any such resignation by or removal of Bank of America as Agent pursuant to
this Section, Bank of America may resign and be discharged of its duties as a Swingline Bank;
provided that, Bank of America shall retain all the rights, powers and privileges of a “Swingline
Bank” provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the
effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Banks to make Revolving
Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.14.

Section 10.7 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Banks. Each Bank acknowledges that it
has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Bank or any of their Related
Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges that it
will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Bank or any of their Related
Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate,
continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this
Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 10.8 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers or Syndications Agents or Documentation Agents listed on the
cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement, except in
its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or a Bank hereunder.
Without limitation of the foregoing, neither the Bookrunners, Arrangers, Syndication Agents or
Documentation Agents in their respective capacities as such shall, by reason of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Bank or the Company.

Section 10.9 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency
of any proceeding under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or
similar law, or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Company, the Administrative Agent
(irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall
have made any demand on the Company) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and
unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other obligations hereunder that are owing and unpaid and to
file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Banks
and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Banks, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and their respective
agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Banks, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent under Section 3.3 and Section 11.9) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Bank to make such payments to the
Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent
any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel, and any
other amounts due the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent under Section 3.3 and
Section 11.9. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative
Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Bank any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the obligations hereunder or the
rights of any Bank to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any
Bank in any such proceeding.

Section 10.10 Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Banks severally agree to
reimburse and indemnify each Agent and its Related Parties ratably in proportion to the aggregate
amounts of their respective MC Commitments and USD Commitments (determined as of the time that the
applicable unreimbursed expense or payment is made), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the
Company (i) for any amounts for which such Agent, acting in its capacity as Agent, is entitled to
reimbursement by the Company hereunder or under any other Loan Document and (ii) for any other
actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Agent, in its capacity as Agent and acting on behalf
of the Banks, in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, except in each case, for any amounts or expenses that arise as a result of the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent as determined by a final judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction.

Section 10.11 Rights of Agents. The benefits, privileges and other rights provided to
any Agent set forth in this Article X shall apply to (and not be limited by) any other Loan
Document.

ARTICLE XI

GENERAL PROVISIONS SECTION

Section 11.1 Successors and Assigns; Participating Interests.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, provided that (i) the Company
may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement except
as provided in Section 9.2 (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Company shall
be null and void) and (ii) no Bank may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement except in accordance with this Section 11.1.

(b) (i) Any Bank may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more
banks, financial institutions or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any MC
Loan or USD Loan owing to such Bank, any MC Commitment or USD Commitment of such Bank or any other
interest of such Bank hereunder. In the event of any such sale by a Bank of participating
interests to a Participant, such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to
this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Bank shall remain solely responsible for the
performance thereof and the Company and each Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with
such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participating
interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to
approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and in no event
shall a Bank that sells a participating interest be obligated to the Participant to take or refrain
from taking any action hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents except that such Bank may
agree that it will not, without the consent of such Participant, agree to (A) reduce the principal
of, or interest payable on (or reduce the rate of interest applicable to), the MC Loans or USD
Loans (as the case may be) of such Bank or any fees or other amounts payable to such Bank hereunder
which, in each case, are related to the participating interest sold to such Participant or, (B)
postpone the date fixed for any payment of the principal of, or interest on, the MC Loans or USD
Loans (as the case may be) of such Bank or other amounts payable to such Bank hereunder which, in
each case, are related to the participating interest sold to such Participant.

(ii) Each Bank that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of
the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and
the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other
obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall
have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person
(including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest
in any MC Commitment, USD Commitment, MC Loans or USD Loans or its other obligations under any Loan
Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such MC
Commitment, USD Commitment, MC Loan, USD Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under
Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant
Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank shall treat each person whose
name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of
this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(c) Any Bank may (or in accordance with Section 11.4(h) shall), in accordance with
applicable law, and with the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
and, in the absence of notice to the contrary, such consent shall be deemed granted ten days after
notice to the Company of any assignment) and the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld), at any time assign to one or more financial institutions (all such
financial institutions, collectively, “Assignees”) all or any part of its MC Commitment or USD
Commitment (and related MC Revolving Loans or USD Revolving Loans) or if the Aggregate MC
Commitments or Aggregate USD Commitments have been terminated, its MC Loans or USD Loans (as the
case may be), pursuant to an assignment agreement (an “Assignment Agreement”), executed by such
Assignee and such Bank and delivered to the Company and each Agent; provided that the
consent of the Company (and the consent of the Administrative Agent, solely with respect to clauses
(B) and (C)) to any such assignment shall not be required if (A) a Default under any of
Sections 8.2, 8.6 or 8.7 has occurred and is continuing, (B) the assignment
is by a Bank to an Affiliate of such Bank or another existing Bank or an Affiliate of such other
existing Bank which is a bank in the ordinary course of business or (C) the assignment (including
any pledge) is by any Bank of its Loans and its rights hereunder with respect thereto to any
Federal Reserve Bank. Upon such execution and delivery of an Assignment Agreement, from and after
the effective date as specified therein, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and
shall be bound by the provisions hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment Agreement,
shall have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder, with its MC Commitment or USD Commitment
(as the case may be) as set forth in such Assignment Agreement, and (y) the transferor Bank
thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment Agreement, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the
remaining portion of a transferor Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
transferor Bank shall cease to be a party hereto, but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits, and subject to the limitations, of Sections 2.14, 3.4(b), 4.3,
11.4, 11.9, 12.1(b) and 12.1(c) (to the extent such obligations
arose prior to the effective date of such Assignment Agreement)). Upon delivery of the Assignment
Agreement to the Company and each Agent, the Company, each Agent and the Banks shall treat the
Assignee as the owner of the MC Loans or USD Loans and MC Commitment or USD Commitment, as
applicable, recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Except in the case of an
assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank’s MC Commitment or USD Commitment
or MC Loans or USD Loans (as applicable), the amount of the MC Commitment or USD Commitment or MC
Revolving Loans or USD Revolving Loans of the assigning Bank subject to each such assignment
(determined as of the date the Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to
the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $25,000,000 and each continuing assigning Bank
shall retain a MC Commitment or USD Commitment (as applicable) of not less than $25,000,000, unless
each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such
consent of the Company shall be required if a Default under any of Sections 8.2,
8.6 or 8.7 has occurred and is continuing. Any assignment or transfer by a Bank
that does not comply with this Section 11.1 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement
as a sale by such Bank of a participating interest in such rights and obligations in accordance
with subsection 11.1(b).

(d) On the effective date specified in any Assignment Agreement, or as soon as possible
thereafter, the Company shall, upon request, execute and deliver to the applicable Assignee a new
Note to the order of such Assignee reflecting (if requested by such Assignee) the MC Commitment or
USD Commitment (as applicable) and outstanding MC Loans or USD Loans (as applicable) obtained by it
pursuant to such Assignment Agreement and, if the transferor Bank has retained a MC Commitment or
USD Commitment and MC Loans or USD Loans hereunder, upon request, a new Note in exchange for the
Note held by the transferor Bank (which existing Note shall be surrendered to the Company) to the
order of the transferor Bank reflecting (if requested by such transferor Bank) the MC Commitment or
USD Commitment and outstanding MC Loans or USD Loans (as applicable) retained by it hereunder.
Such new Notes shall be dated the effective date of the Assignment Agreement as specified therein,
and (if requested as described above) include reference to the applicable MC Commitment or USD
Commitment (as applicable) and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note replaced thereby. The
Note surrendered by the transferor Bank shall be returned by the transferor Bank to the Company
marked “canceled”. The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Company,
shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the MC Commitment or USD
Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the MC Loans or USD Loans owing to,
each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive, and the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall treat
each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of its
interest therein, as indicated in the Register, for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding
notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any
Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) The Company authorizes each Bank to disclose to any Participant or Assignee and any
prospective Participant or Assignee any and all financial and other information in such Bank’s
possession concerning the Company which has been delivered to such Bank by or on behalf of the
Company pursuant to this Agreement; provided that such Participant or Assignee or prospective
Participant or Assignee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in
Section 11.12.

(f) If, pursuant to this Section 11.1, any interest in this Agreement or any Loan is
transferred to any Assignee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
United States or any state thereof, such Assignee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such
transfer and becoming a party to this Agreement pursuant to the applicable Assignment Agreement
shall, (i) represent to the transferor Bank (for the benefit of the transferor Bank, each Agent and
the Company) that under applicable law and treaties then in effect no United States federal taxes
will be required to be withheld by any Agent, the Company or the transferor Bank with respect to
any payments to be made to such Assignee hereunder, (ii) furnish to the Company the documentation
described in Section 11.4(f), (wherein such Assignee claims entitlement to complete
exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments hereunder) and (iii) agree to otherwise
comply with the terms of Section 11.4(f).

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.1 no Bank
may assign or sell participating interests, or otherwise syndicate all or any portion of such
bank’s interests under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (i) to any Person who is
(x) listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (the “SDN List”)
maintained by the U.S. Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) and/or on
any other similar list maintained by the OFAC pursuant to any authorizing statute, executive order
or regulation or (y) either (A) included within the term “designated national” as defined in the
Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, or (B) designated under Sections 1(a), 1(b),
1(c) or 1(d) of Executive Order No. 13224, 66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (published September 25, 2001) or
similarly designated under any related enabling legislation or any other similar executive orders,
(ii) in the case of any assignment under the MC Facility, to any Person who does not maintain an
operating branch in the United Kingdom, (iii) to the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or
Subsidiaries, (iv) to any Person who is a natural person or (v) to any Person who is a Defaulting
Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Bank hereunder, would
constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (v).

(h) The transferor Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account a processing
and recording fee of $3,500. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment Agreement executed by
an assigning Bank and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless
the assignee shall already be a Bank hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in
this subsection 11.1(h) and any written consent to such assignment required by
subsection 11.1(c), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment Agreement and
record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for
purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this
subsection 11.1(h).

(i) Any Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its
rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Bank, including without limitation any
pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not
apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge
or assignment of a security interest shall release a Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto.

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

Section 11.2 Survival. All representations and warranties of the Company contained in
this Agreement shall survive the making of the Loans herein contemplated. The provisions of
Sections 10.10, 11.4, 11.9, 12.1(b) and 12.1(c) and
Article X shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination
of the Aggregate Commitments, the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof, or the
resignation, replacement or removal of the Administrative Agent.

	 	 	 
	Section 11.3

Section 11.4

	 	[Reserved].

Taxes.
	
 
	 	 

(a) All payments to any Bank made under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and
without deduction for any Taxes, except as required pursuant to applicable law; provided
that, subject to the other provisions of this Section 11.4, if the Company shall be
required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum
payable shall be increased by the amount (the “Additional Amount”) necessary so that after making
all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums described in this
paragraph) such Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the Company shall make such deductions and (iii) the Company shall pay
the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
In addition, to the extent not paid in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Company shall
pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Subject to subsection (g) below, the Company shall indemnify each Bank for
Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes paid by such Bank, provided, however, that the Company shall not
be obligated to make payment to any Bank in respect of penalties, interest and other similar
liabilities attributable to such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes if such penalties, interest or
other similar liabilities are reasonably attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of such Bank.

(c) If a Bank shall become aware that it is entitled to claim a refund from a Governmental
Authority in respect of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Company pursuant to this
Section 11.4, including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified by the Company, or with respect to which the Company has paid Additional Amounts
pursuant hereto, it shall promptly notify the Company of the availability of such refund claim and,
if such Bank determines in good faith that making a claim for refund will not have a material
adverse effect on its taxes or business operations, shall, within 30 days after receipt of a
request by the Company, make a claim to such Governmental Authority for such refund at the
Company’s expense. If a Bank receives a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
paid by the Company pursuant hereto, it shall within 30 days from the date of such receipt pay over
such refund to the Company (but only to the extent of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid
pursuant to hereto, including indemnity payments made or Additional Amounts paid, by the Company
under this Section 11.4 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to
such refund), net of all out of pocket expenses of such Bank and without interest (other than
interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). This Section
shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Bank to make available its tax
returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Company
or any other Person.

(d) If any Bank is or becomes eligible under any applicable law, regulation, treaty or other
rule to a reduced rate of taxation, or a complete exemption from withholding, with respect to
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes on payments made to it by the Company, such Bank shall, upon the
request of the Company or the Administrative Agent, complete and deliver from time to time any
certificate, form or other document requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, the
completion and delivery of which are a precondition to obtaining the benefit of such reduced rate
or exemption, provided that the taking of such action by such Bank, would not, in the
reasonable judgment of such Bank be disadvantageous or prejudicial to such Bank or inconsistent
with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions. For any period with respect to
which a Bank has failed to provide any such certificate, form or other document requested by the
Company or the Administrative Agent, such Bank shall not be entitled to any payment under this
Section 11.4 in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes that would not have been
imposed but for such failure.

(e) Each Bank organized under the laws of a jurisdiction in the United States, any State
thereof or the District of Columbia (each such Bank, a “US Bank”) shall (i) deliver to the Company
and the Administrative Agent, upon execution hereof (or, with respect to Persons becoming Banks
hereunder by assignment, upon execution of the relevant assignment agreement), two original copies
of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any successor form, properly completed and
duly executed by such Bank, certifying that such Bank is exempt from United States backup
withholding Tax on payments of interest made under the Loan Documents and (ii) thereafter, at each
time when it is so reasonably requested in writing by the Company or the Administrative Agent or at
such time the Bank becomes aware of the invalidity or obsolescence of a previously delivered form,
deliver within a reasonable time two original copies of an updated Form W-9 or any successor form
thereto. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) and (b) above, the Company shall not be
required to indemnify a US Bank to the extent the obligation to pay such indemnity payment or
Additional Amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such US Bank to comply with this
subsection (e), except to the extent such Bank’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time
of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Company under this subsection
11.4(e).

(f) Each Bank, Agent and other Person receiving payments under this Agreement that is
organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the
District of Columbia (each such Bank, a “Foreign Bank”) that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding Tax under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Company is located, or
any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under the Loan Documents
shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, upon execution hereof (or, with respect
to Persons becoming Banks hereunder by assignment, upon execution of the relevant assignment
agreement), such properly completed and duly executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be
made without withholding or at a reduced rate, unless in the good faith opinion of the Foreign Bank
such documentation would expose the Foreign Bank to any material adverse consequences or risk or is
inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions, it being understood
that the completion of an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY or W-ECI by a Foreign Bank,
as applicable, as of the date of this Agreement, shall not be considered to be inconsistent with
such Foreign Bank’s internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or expose such Foreign
Bank to a material adverse consequence. Such documentation shall be delivered by each Foreign Bank
on or before the date it becomes a Bank and on or before the date, if any, such Foreign Bank
changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office with respect to its
Loans (a “New Lending Office”). In addition, each Foreign Bank shall deliver such forms promptly
upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Bank.

If a payment made to a Bank would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed
by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA,
such Bank shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed
by applicable law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the
Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by FATCA or other provisions of applicable law
and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent
as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations
under FATCA and to determine that such Bank has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to
determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this Section
11.4, the term “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this
Agreement and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

Each Agent and Bank (and, in the case of a Foreign Bank, its lending office), represents that
on the date hereof, payments made hereunder by the Company to it would not be subject to United
States federal withholding tax.

(g) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) and (b) above, the
Company shall not be required to indemnify any Foreign Bank, or to pay any Additional Amounts to
any Foreign Bank, in respect of United States federal withholding tax pursuant to subsection
(a) or (b) above, (A) to the extent that the obligation to withhold amounts with
respect to United States federal withholding tax existed on the date such Foreign Bank became a
Bank, became a party hereto or otherwise acquired its interest herein or in the case of a Foreign
Bank that after becoming a party hereto changes its classification for United States federal income
tax purposes under Section 7701 of the Code, United States federal withholding tax that exists on
the date such change in entity classification is effective, except to the extent that such Bank’s
assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the
Company or such Bank was entitled, immediately prior to such change in entity classification
becoming effective, to receive additional amounts from the Company; (B) with respect to a change by
such Foreign Bank of the jurisdiction in which it is organized, incorporated, controlled or
managed, or in which it is doing business, from the date such Foreign Bank changed such
jurisdiction, but only to the extent that such withholding tax exceeds any withholding tax that
would have been imposed on such Bank had it not changed the jurisdiction in which it is organized,
incorporated, controlled or managed, or in which it is doing business; or (C) to the extent that
the obligation to pay such indemnity payment or Additional Amounts would not have arisen but for a
failure by such Foreign Bank to comply with the provisions of Section 11.4(d) or
(f).

(h) If any Bank requests compensation under this Section 11.4, or if the Company is
required to pay any additional amount to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank
pursuant to this Section 11.4, then such Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a
different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates with the object of avoiding
or eliminating the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 11.4, provided that
such designation or assignment shall be on such terms that such Bank and its lending office, in
such Bank’s sole judgment, suffer no economic, legal, regulatory or other disadvantage and would
not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Bank. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.

If Bank requests compensation under this Section 11.4, or if the Company is required to pay
any additional amount to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to this
Section 11.4, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such
Bank, require such Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse, in accordance with and subject to
the restrictions contained in Section 11.1, all of such Bank’s interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees that shall assume such obligations (which
assignee or assignees may be one or more other Banks); provided that (i) such Bank shall
have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, accrued and unpaid 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
Company (in the case of all other amounts) and (ii) such assignment will result in a reduction in
such compensation or payments. A Bank shall not be required to make any such assignment and
delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Bank or otherwise, the circumstances
entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

A certificate of the relevant Bank setting forth the basis for any amounts (and the calculation
thereof and methodology in calculating, each in reasonable detail) claimed under this Section
11.4 shall be delivered to the Company and the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. Failure or delay on the part of a Bank to demand compensation of any amount
under this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s right to demand such compensation;
provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate any such Bank for any amounts
claimed under this Section that are incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Bank
notifies the Company of the circumstances giving rise to such amounts and such Bank’s intention to
claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the circumstances giving rise to such
amounts have retroactive effect, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Each Bank agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this
Section 11.4 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such
form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its
legal inability to do so.

(i) Any payment required to be made by the Company to any Bank under this Section
11.4 shall be deemed an Obligation and be secured by the Collateral.

Section 11.5 Choice of Law; Jurisdiction. THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN THOSE
CONTAINING A CONTRARY EXPRESS CHOICE OF LAW PROVISION) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The Company and the Banks hereby irrevocably submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of any United States federal or New York state court sitting in New York,
New York in any action or proceedings arising out of or relating to any Loan Documents and the
Company and the Banks hereby irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a
final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this
Agreement shall affect any right that any Agent or any Bank may otherwise have to bring any action
or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Company or its properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction. Each party irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for
notices in Section 13.1. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to
this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 11.6 Headings. Section headings in the Loan Documents are for convenience of
reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the provisions of the Loan
Documents.

Section 11.7 Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and
understanding among the Company and the Banks and supersede all prior agreements and understandings
among the Company and the Banks relating to the subject matter thereof.

Section 11.8 Several Obligations. The respective obligations of the Banks hereunder
are several and not joint and no Bank shall be the partner or agent of any other. The failure of
any Bank to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Bank from any of
its obligations hereunder.

Section 11.9 Expenses; Indemnification., Increased Costs; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Company shall reimburse (i) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers for any and all
reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and time charges
of attorneys) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Arranger in connection with the
syndication of the credit facility provided for herein, (ii) the Administrative Agent for any and
all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
disbursements and time charges of attorneys) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent in
connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), provided that in each
case of this clauses (i) and (ii), the Company shall only be required to reimburse the reasonable
fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel for the Administrative Agent and, if
necessary, one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction, (iii) the Collateral Agent for any
and all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
disbursements and time charges of attorneys) paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection
with its role as Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as agreed
between the Company and the Collateral Agent, and any and all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and time charges of attorneys) paid
or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of
the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
shall be consummated), provided that in each case of this clause (iii), the Company shall
only be required to reimburse the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel
for the Collateral Agent and, if necessary, one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction and
(iv) each Agent and each Bank for any and all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and time charges of attorneys) paid or
incurred by such Agent or such Bank, as applicable, in connection with the collection, liquidation
and enforcement of the Loan Documents and/or the Collateral in connection with a Default which has
occurred; provided that in each case of this clause (iv), the Company shall only be
required to reimburse the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel for the
Agents and the Banks and, if necessary, one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (and in
the case of different defenses or conflict of interest (as determined by the affected Agents or
Banks in their reasonable discretion), additional counsel for the affected Agents or Banks taken as
a whole). The Company further agrees to indemnify each Agent, each Bank and each Related Party of
any of the foregoing Persons (each an “Indemnified Party”) against all losses, claims, damages,
penalties, judgments and, liabilities which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating
to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or the direct or
indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Loan hereunder and to reimburse
each Indemnified Party promptly upon demand for all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses
(including, without limitation, the reasonable documented fees and disbursements of one counsel
(selected by the Administrative Agent) to the Indemnified Parties, taken as a whole, and in the
case of a conflict of interest (as determined by the affected Administrative Agent, Collateral
Agent, or Banks in their reasonable discretion), one additional counsel to all affected Indemnified
Parties similarly situated, taken as a whole (and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel
and one applicable regulatory counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction to all such
Indemnified Parties, taken as a whole)) in connection therewith, including reasonable documented
out-of-pocket costs in connection with the preparation of a defense in connection therewith (all of
the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”), excluding, however, in all
of the foregoing instances, Indemnified Amounts (i) found in a judgment to have resulted from the
bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Party seeking
indemnification, (ii) consisting of taxes for which an indemnification is provided or specifically
excluded from indemnification pursuant to Section 11.4, (iii) resulting from a material breach of
the obligations of such Indemnified Party under any Loan Document, if the Company has obtained a
final, non-appealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction or (iv) arising out of a claim that does not involve an act or omission of the Company
or its Subsidiaries and that is solely among Indemnified Parties (other than disputes involving
claims against any Person in its capacity as, or fulfilling its role as, an arranger, swingline
lender or administrative, collateral or syndication agent or similar role in respect of the Loan
Documents).

(b) If, after the date hereof, any law or any governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline
or directive (whether or not having the force of law) is adopted, or there is any change in the
interpretation thereof (provided that (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder, issued
in connection therewith or in implementation thereof and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines,
requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel
Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or
foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed a
change in law if enacted, adopted, issued or implemented after December 10, 2011), or the
compliance of any Bank with such (any such event described above, a “Change in Law”), which, in any
case, affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Bank or any
corporation controlling such Bank, and such Bank reasonably determines the amount of capital
required is increased by or based upon the existence of this Agreement or its MC Commitment or USD
Commitment hereunder and such increased capital results in increased costs to such Bank, then, such
Bank shall notify the Company of such fact and shall provide a reasonably detailed description of
such increased costs in the notice (“Increased Cost Notice”), together with documentation from the
relevant regulatory body setting forth such increased capital requirement, and the Company shall,
in its sole discretion, determine whether to terminate such Bank’s MC Commitment or USD Commitment
(as the case may be) in accordance with Section 2.12. The Company will pay to such Bank
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for any such increase of cost
suffered pursuant to Section 11.9(b). Any payment required to be made by the Company under
this Section 11.9(b) shall be deemed an Obligation and be secured by the Collateral.

(c) Except with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed solely and exclusively by
Section 11.4, if any Change in Law reasonably determined by the applicable Bank to be
applicable shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account
of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Bank (except to the extent provided in
clause (iii) below, the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial
Services Authority or the European Central Bank reflected in the Mandatory Cost);

(ii) impose on any Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting
this Agreement or Overnight Libor Rate Loans or Overnight Euribor Rate Loans made by such
Bank or participation therein; or

(iii) result in the failure of the Mandatory Cost, as calculated hereunder, to
represent the cost to any Bank of complying with the requirements of the Bank of England
and/or the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank in relation to its
making, funding or maintaining Overnight Libor Rate Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Bank of making or
maintaining any Overnight LIBOR Rate Loan or Overnight Euribor Rate Loan; as applicable (or of
maintaining its obligation to make any such Overnight LIBOR Rate Loan or Overnight Euribor Rate
Loan; as applicable) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material or to reduce the amount of any
sum received or receivable by such Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by
an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then the Company will pay to such Bank, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank, subject to Section 2.12, for
such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. Any payment required to be made by the
Company under this Section 11.9(c) shall be deemed an Obligation and be secured by the
Collateral.

(d) If (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for determining or charging interest rates based upon the Overnight
Libor Rate, the Overnight Euribor Rate or clause (b) of the definition of “Federal Funds Rate” or
(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required MC Banks that, in the good faith
determination of such Banks, the Overnight Libor Rate or the Overnight Euribor Rate will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks (or Bank) of making or maintaining their Loans
(or its Loan) included in the applicable Advance, then the Administrative Agent shall give notice
thereof to the Company and the Banks by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter
and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Banks that the circumstances
giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (x) if any Advance Request requests a Loan in an
Alternative Currency, such Advance shall be made as an Advance in Dollars, (y) any obligation of
any Bank to make or continue Loans in any affected Alternative Currency shall be suspended and (z)
in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the LIBOR
component of the Federal Funds Rate, the utilization of the LIBOR component in determining the
Federal Funds Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (in its
discretion or upon the instruction of the Required Banks) revokes such notice.

(e) If any Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Company that the introduction of
or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any
central bank or Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful for any Bank or its London
lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans in an Alternative Currency, or to determine or
charge interest rates based upon the Overnight Libor Rate or the Overnight Euribor Rate, or any
Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Bank to purchase
or sell, or to take deposits of any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market, then,
on notice thereof by such Bank to the Company through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation
of such Bank to make or continue Loans in the Alternative Currency shall be suspended, and (ii) if
such notice asserts the illegality of such Bank making or maintaining Federal Funds Rate Loans the
interest rate on which is determined by reference to the LIBOR component of the Federal Funds Rate,
the interest rate on which Federal Funds Rate Loans of such Bank shall, if necessary to avoid such
illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBOR component of
the Federal Funds Rate, in each case until such Bank notifies the Administrative Agent and the
Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of
such notice, (x) the Company shall, promptly upon demand from such Bank (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), promptly prepay such Loans if such Bank may not lawfully continue to
maintain such Loans (or, in the case of Federal Funds Rate Loans, if necessary to avoid such
illegality, the interest rate on such Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without
reference to the LIBOR component of the Federal Funds Rate). The Company shall also pay accrued
interest on any amount so prepaid.

(f) All amounts due under this Section 11.9 shall be payable promptly after written
demand therefor; provided that such amounts due pursuant to Section 11.9(b) and
(c) shall be comparable (on a proportionate basis and as determined in a commercially
reasonable manner) to amounts such Bank charges similarly situated borrowers or account parties (or
intends to charge substantially simultaneously) for such additional costs or such losses suffered
on loans for borrowers with similar credit facilities. For purposes of clarification, the
foregoing shall not require that any Bank seek such charges against all such similarly situated
borrowers or account parties prior to making any claim for costs or losses hereunder.

(g) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall not assert, and hereby
waives, any claim against any Indemnified Party and no Indemnified Party shall assert, and by
accepting the benefits of the Agreement waives, any claim against the Company or its Subsidiaries
(except to the extent of the Company’s indemnity obligations provided above with respect to third
party (which shall not, in any event, include any Indemnified Party) claims), in each case, on any
theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct
or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(h) Each Bank shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor,
for the full amount of any Taxes attributable to such Bank that are payable or paid by the
Administrative Agent, and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or
not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Government Authority.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the
Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 11.10 Accounting. Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting
terms used herein shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made in
accordance with GAAP.

Section 11.11 Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is
held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that
jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions
in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other
jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.

Section 11.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Banks and each Agent agrees to maintain
the confidentiality of the Company Information (as defined below), except that Company Information
may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees
and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors who have a need to know such
information (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed
of the confidential nature of such Company Information and instructed to keep such Company
Information confidential on terms substantially similar to this Section 11.12), (b) to the
extent required by any governmental agency, self-regulatory authority or representative thereof,
(c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal
process or to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation relating to this
Agreement or the Collateral to which such Bank or such Agent, as applicable, is a party,
(d) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those described in this
Section 11.12, to any Assignee or Participant, (e) with the consent of the Company, (f) to
the extent such Company Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach
of its confidentiality obligations as described in this Section 11.12 or (g) to any other
party to this Agreement.

As used in this Section, “Company Information” means all information received from the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates relating to Holdings or any of its subsidiaries (including
the Company) or any of their respective Affiliates, or their businesses, other than any such
information that is available to any Agent or any Bank, as applicable, on a non-confidential basis
prior to disclosure by the Company.

Section 11.13 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,
PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY MATTER
ARISING HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

Section 11.14 USA Patriot Act Notification. The following notification is provided to
the Company pursuant to Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT. To help the government of
the United States of America fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities,
Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, record and update information
that identifies each Person that opens an account, including any deposit account, treasury
management account, loan, other extension of credit, or other financial services product.
Accordingly, when the Company opens an account, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and
the Banks will ask for the Company’s name, tax identification number, business address, and other
information that will allow the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Banks to
identify the Company. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Banks may also ask to
see the Company’s legal organizational documents or other identifying documents.

Section 11.15 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with this
Agreement or any promissory note delivered hereunder (including in connection with any amendment,
waiver or other modification hereof), the Company acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its
subsidiaries’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this
Agreement provided by the Agents, the Banks and the Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial
transactions between the Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agents, the Banks and
the Arrangers, on the other hand, (B) the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting,
regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Company is capable
of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions
contemplated hereby; (ii) (A) the Agents, the Banks and the Arrangers each is and has been acting
solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not
been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Company or any of
its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither any Agent, any Bank nor any Arranger has any
obligation to the Company or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein; and (iii) the Agents, the Banks and the
Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that
involve interests that differ from those of the Company and its Affiliates, and neither any Agent,
any Bank nor any Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Company or
its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company hereby waives and releases any
claims that it may have against any Agent, any Bank or any Arranger with respect to any breach or
alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty (except for any agency or fiduciary duty obligations
expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties) in connection with this Agreement or any
promissory note delivered hereunder.

Section 11.16 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any
court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the
rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the
Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day
preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Company in respect of any
such sum due from it to any Agent or any Bank hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a
currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance
with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to
the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the applicable Agent or such Bank, as the
case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, such Agent or such Bank, as
the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency
with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the
sum originally due to any Agent or any Bank from the Company in the Agreement Currency, the Company
agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Agent or
such Bank, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so
purchased is greater than the sum originally due to any Agent or any Bank in such currency, such
Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Company
(or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

ARTICLE XII

SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

Section 12.1 Setoff; Ratable Payments.

(a) In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Banks or Agents under
applicable law, if the Company becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Default occurs and is
continuing, any indebtedness or other obligation owing from any Bank or Agent to the Company
(including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or
available but excluding (x) any accounts designated as or representing “customer segregated funds”
accounts and (y) any accounts pledged to such Bank to secure an overdraft facility to ensure the
settlement of foreign currency futures and options contracts traded on the exchange of the Company,
CBOT, NYMEX or any other exchange in respect of which the Company has equivalent authority) may be
offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Bank or Agent, as the case
may be, whether or not the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall then be due.

(b) Subject to Section 2.11, if any Bank, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment
made to it upon any Loan under any Facility in a greater proportion than that received by any other
Bank upon any Loan in such Facility constituting a portion of the same Advance, such Bank shall
distribute to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to each of the other Banks’ pro rata share
in such Facility of such payment. Such payment shall be distributed ratably between the Banks in
such Facility in proportion to each Bank’s respective share of the total Obligations in such
Facility outstanding under this Agreement. Any payment distributed pursuant to this subsection
(b) to the Administrative Agent shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the
applicable Banks in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Subject to Section 2.11, if any Bank, whether in connection with setoff or amounts
which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for any
category of its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, in any case, in excess
of its pro rata share thereof, such Bank agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action
necessary such that all Banks share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to
their Obligations of the same category. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or
otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

(d) The Company agrees that any Participant in a Loan may exercise setoff rights as provided
by Section 12.1(a) as though it were a Bank with respect to its participating interest,
provided that such Participant has agreed that it shall be subject to Sections
12.1(b) and (c) as though it were a Bank.

(c) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Banks
hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e mail and Internet

that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Bank pursuant to Article II and
Section 3.1 if such Bank has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of
receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, any Swingline Bank or the Company may each, in its discretion, agree to accept
notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications

provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii), if such notice, email or
other communication is not sent during the Business Day of the recipient, such notice, email or
communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day
for the recipient.
