 SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT 

THIS SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT made as of September 30, 2014 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time,

“Subordinated Creditor”), in favor of the Noteholders (as defined below). 
 PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 

Reference is made to the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of even date herewith (as it may be amended, restated, increased, renewed,

(ii) $175,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.04% Series B Senior Notes due September 30, 2021, and (iii) $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.42% Series C Senior Notes due September 30, 2024 (as amended,

“Subsidiary Guaranty,” which term shall include any guaranty agreement entered into in replacement thereof) made by each of the Obligors party thereto. 

RECITALS 
 WHEREAS, EEP
and Midcoast, a subsidiary of the Issuer and a guarantor of the obligations under the Note Agreement and the Notes, are parties to (i) that certain Financial Support Agreement effective as of November 13, 2013 (as the same may be amended,
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Financial Support Agreement”), pursuant to which EEP has agreed, among other things, to continue to facilitate the provision of letters of credit to
Midcoast and its subsidiaries under EEP’s credit facilities and to provide guarantees to Midcoast and its subsidiaries, each on the terms and conditions set forth in the Financial Support Agreement, and (ii) that certain Working Capital
Loan Agreement effective as of November 13, 2013 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Working Capital Agreement” and, collectively with the Financial Support
Agreement, the “Support Agreements,” and individually, a “Support Agreement”) pursuant to which EEP has agreed, among other things, to make revolving loans to Midcoast, on the terms and conditions set
forth in the Working Capital Agreement; 

 WHEREAS, Midcoast and certain of its subsidiaries may from time to time owe certain reimbursement
obligations or other indebtedness to EEP under the Support Agreements; 
 WHEREAS, the Obligors are party to that certain Credit Agreement,
dated as of November 13, 2013, by and among the Obligors, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and an L/C Issuer, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to
Credit Agreement and Extension Agreement dated as of September 30, 2014 (as the same may be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Bank Agreement”); 

WHEREAS, Section 3(c) of the Financial Support Agreement and Section 29(c) of the Working Capital Agreement generally provide, among
other things, that Midcoast shall not, and shall not permit any of its affiliates to, grant or permit any liens on any asset or property to secure the indebtedness and obligations under Midcoast’s principal commercial bank revolving credit
facility, unless it and each of them has granted or concurrently grants a lien to EEP on such asset or property to secure its obligations under the Financial Support Agreement and the Working Capital Agreement, respectively, on a second-priority
basis, and, in scope, nature, type of, but second priority to, the liens at any time, and from time to time, granted, created, perfected and maintained to secure the indebtedness and obligations under such principal commercial bank revolving credit
facility; 
 WHEREAS, upon the occurrence of a Springing Lien Trigger Event (as defined in the Bank Agreement), the Obligors shall grant
Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the lenders party to the Bank Agreement, a valid and perfected first-priority security interest, subject only to Permitted Liens (as defined in the Bank Agreement), in the Collateral
(as defined below) to secure the Obligations (as defined in the Bank Agreement) and, pursuant to the respective Support Agreements, shall grant EEP a valid and perfected, second-priority security interest in the Collateral, junior in all respects to
the security interest granted in favor of Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, under the Bank Agreement; 
 WHEREAS,
Section 10.5 of the Note Agreement provides, among other things, that the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, grant or permit any liens on any asset or property to secure the indebtedness and obligations under the
Bank Agreement, other than liens on the Collateral so long as the Notes (and any guaranty delivered in connection therewith) are concurrently secured equally and ratably with such indebtedness and obligations; 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Note Agreement and the Subsidiary Guaranty, the Obligors will owe certain Senior Indebtedness (as defined below) to
the Senior Lenders, and it is a condition to the Senior Lenders’ willingness to enter into the Note Agreement and related Financing Documents that, among other things, (i) the Subordinated Creditors shall have also subordinated their right
to payment to all indebtedness or obligations now or hereafter owed or owing by the Obligors to the Subordinated Creditors under the Support Agreements in the manner and to the extent provided in this Agreement, (ii) in the event the
indebtedness and obligations under the Bank Agreement become secured by first-priority, duly-perfected liens on, and security interests against, the Collateral upon the occurrence of a Springing Lien Trigger Event, the Senior Indebtedness shall also
be secured by equal and ratable first-priority, duly-perfected liens on, and security interests against, the Collateral, (iii) the Subordinated 

  
 2 

 
Indebtedness (as defined herein) shall at all times be unsecured, except that if the Senior Lenders shall first have been granted a first-priority, duly-perfected lien and security interest in
and against the Collateral, the Subordinated Creditor may at such time, and only to the extent expressly permitted under the Note Agreement and the Support Agreements, receive a junior priority lien and security interest in the same collateral to
secure the Subordinated Indebtedness, but all such liens and security interests shall be subordinate and junior to all first-priority liens and security interests securing the Senior Indebtedness; and 

WHEREAS, the Note Agreement requires, among other things, that the parties hereto set forth in this Agreement, among other things, their
respective rights, obligations and remedies with respect to the payment of the Senior Indebtedness and the Subordinated Indebtedness and with respect to the common Collateral, each as herein defined.

and the Obligors), and to induce the Senior Lenders to enter into the Note Agreement and related Financing Documents, from which the Subordinated Creditors and Obligors will receive benefit, the Obligors and the Subordinated Creditors hereby agree,

remitted or otherwise delivered amounts multiplied by a fraction, (a) the numerator of which is the then-outstanding balance of the Beneficiary Indebtedness held by such Beneficiary, and (b) the denominator of which is the then-outstanding
balance of all Beneficiary Indebtedness. It shall be the responsibility of the Issuer (and not any Subordinated Debt Party) to calculate and designate in writing to each applicable Subordinated Debt Party the applicable amount to be distributed,
paid over, turned over, remitted or otherwise transferred to a Beneficiary on a Pro Rata Basis, and until the applicable Subordinated Debt Party has received such written designation, at each applicable time, it shall not be required to make such
distribution, payment over, turn over, remittance or other transfer (unless directed in writing by all Beneficiaries), provided, however, that any error made by the Issuer in respect of such calculation or designation shall not relieve the Issuer or
any other Obligor of its obligations under any Beneficiary Indebtedness or of such Subordinated Debt Parties of its obligations hereunder.

together with (a) Post-Petition Interest and (b) all fees, costs, charges, and expenses, including reasonable Attorney Costs, accrued or incurred after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding, whether or not allowed or allowable in
such Insolvency Proceeding. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent any payment with respect to any Senior Indebtedness (whether by or on behalf of any Obligor, as proceeds of Collateral, enforcement of any Lien, right of setoff or otherwise) is
declared to be a fraudulent conveyance or a preference in any respect, set aside or required to be paid to a debtor-in- possession, trustee, a creditor, any Subordinated Debt Party, receiver or similar Person, then the obligation or part thereof
originally intended to be satisfied shall, for the purposes of this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Senior Lenders and each Subordinated Debt Party, be deemed to be reinstated and outstanding as if such payment had not occurred. 

“Senior Lenders” shall mean, collectively, the Noteholders and any trustee and/or collateral trustee appointed for the

 Article 3 

PRIORITY OF LIENS; LIEN SUBORDINATION 

3.1 No Liens Prohibited by Note Agreement; No Liens Securing Subordinated Indebtedness Prior to Springing Lien Trigger Event

  

	 	a.	So long as the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has not occurred, none of the Obligors shall, or shall permit any of its or their Restricted Subsidiaries to, grant or permit, and (1) no Subordinated Debt Party
shall accept or pursue, any Liens on any asset or property prohibited by or in violation of the Note Agreement, to secure or facilitate the payment or collection of any Subordinated Indebtedness, and (2) no Senior Lender shall accept or pursue
any Liens on any asset or property to secure or facilitate the payment or collection of any Senior Indebtedness without the Senior Lenders permitting the Subordinated Indebtedness to be secured thereby, with each such Lien to be subject to the
provisions of this Agreement in all respects, including without limitation, the lien subordination and payment over provisions contained herein. 

  

	 	b.	So long as the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has not occurred, none of the Obligors shall, or shall permit any of its or their Restricted Subsidiaries to, grant or permit, and no Subordinated Debt Party shall accept
or pursue, any Liens on any asset or property which would constitute Collateral, to secure or facilitate the payment or collection of any Subordinated Indebtedness, unless (i) it first has granted, or concurrently therewith grants, a
Lien on such asset or property to secure the Senior Indebtedness which is senior in right, priority, operation, effect and all other respects to any and all Liens now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of any Subordinated Debt Party which now
or hereafter secure Subordinated Indebtedness and pari passu with any and all Liens securing any Other Senior Indebtedness, and (ii) such Liens in favor of such Subordinated Debt Party are not prohibited under the Note Agreement, with each such
Lien to be subject to the provisions of this Agreement in all respects, including without limitation, the lien subordination and payment over provisions contained herein. 

 

	 	c.	 To the extent that the provisions of Sections 3.1(a) and (b) are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other right
or remedy available to the Senior Lenders or any Subordinated Debt Party, as the case may be, (A) if it has not already done so, each applicable Obligor, or related Restricted Subsidiary, shall immediately grant a Lien on such asset or property
to secure the Senior Indebtedness which is senior in right, priority, operation, effect and all other respects to any and all Liens now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of any Subordinated Debt Party which now or hereafter secure Subordinated
Indebtedness and pari passu with any and all Liens securing any Other Senior Indebtedness, and a junior-priority Lien on such asset or property to secure the Subordinated Indebtedness (in all respects subject to the terms of this Agreement and any
applicable Financing Document), or both, as the case may be, and (B)

  
 11 

	 	
each Subordinated Debt Party: (i) agrees to subordinate all such Liens, if any, securing the Subordinated Indebtedness, whether now existing or hereafter arising (the
“Impermissible Subordinated Debt Liens”) to all Liens securing any Senior Indebtedness, whether now existing or hereafter arising, regardless of the time, manner or order of perfection of any such Impermissible Subordinated
Debt Liens, and notwithstanding any failure of the Senior Lenders to adequately perfect its or their Liens securing any Senior Indebtedness, the subordination of any Lien securing any Senior Indebtedness to any Lien securing any other obligation of
any Obligor, or the avoidance, invalidation or lapse of any Lien securing any Senior Indebtedness; (ii) agrees to take no action to enforce any Impermissible Subordinated Debt Liens; (iii) agrees to execute such terminations, releases and
other documents as the Required Holders (or their representative) request in their sole discretion to release the Impermissible Subordinated Debt Liens or to assign the Impermissible Subordinated Debt Liens to the Senior Lenders, in the Required
Holders’ sole discretion, provided that contemporaneously therewith, the Senior Lenders, upon receiving a first-priority Lien on such asset or property to secure the Senior Indebtedness as required under clause (A) above, permit a junior,
second-priority Lien on such asset or property to be granted to secure the Subordinated Indebtedness (in all respects subject to the terms of this Agreement), (iv) in furtherance of the foregoing, hereby irrevocably appoints each of the Senior
Lenders (or its representative ) its attorney-in-fact, with full authority (subject to any constraints thereon set forth in any Collateral Agreement) in the place and stead of each Subordinated Debt Party to execute and deliver any document or
instrument which such Subordinated Debt Party may be required to deliver pursuant to this Section 3.1; (v) agrees that no Subordinated Debt Party shall have any right to possession of any assets or property encumbered by or subject
to the Impermissible Subordinated Debt Liens, whether by judicial action or otherwise; and (vi) agrees that, so long as the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has not occurred, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in
cash, debt securities, Equity Interests, obligations, or other property, and whether or not such payment or distribution is collateral, proceeds of collateral, or on account of collateral, whether under a Plan of Reorganization or otherwise,
received by or distributed to any Subordinated Debt Party as a result of such Impermissible Subordinated Debt Lien shall be turned over to the Senior Lenders (for application to the Senior Indebtedness) and the other Beneficiaries (for application
to the applicable Other Senior Indebtedness), on a Pro Rata Basis. 

 3.2 Relative Priorities 

 

	 	a.	 Notwithstanding the date, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Lien on the Collateral securing Senior Indebtedness, on

  
 12 

	 	
one hand, or any Lien on the Collateral securing Subordinated Indebtedness (including any Liens on assets or property prohibited by or in violation of the Note Agreement), on the other hand, and
notwithstanding any provision of the UCC or any other applicable law or the provisions of any security document or any other Financing Document or any other circumstance whatsoever, and notwithstanding any failure of the Senior Lenders to adequately
perfect their Liens in the Collateral, the subordination of any Lien on the Collateral securing any Senior Indebtedness to any Lien securing any other obligation of any Obligor, or the avoidance, invalidation or lapse of any Lien on the Collateral
securing any Senior Indebtedness, each Subordinated Debt Party hereby agrees that, so long as the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has not occurred, (a) any such Lien now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of any Senior Lender which now or
hereafter secures Senior Indebtedness shall be senior in right, priority, operation, effect and all other respects to any and all such Liens now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of any Subordinated Debt Party which now or hereafter secure
Subordinated Indebtedness, (b) any such Lien now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of any Subordinated Debt Party which now or hereafter secures Subordinated Indebtedness shall be junior and subordinate in right, priority, operation,
effect and all other respects to any and all such Liens now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of any Senior Lender which now or hereafter secures Senior Indebtedness, and (c) any and all such Liens now or hereafter held by or for the
benefit of any Senior Lender which now or hereafter secure Senior Indebtedness shall be and remain senior in right, priority, operation, effect and all other respects to any and all such Liens now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of any
Subordinated Debt Party which now or hereafter secures Subordinated Indebtedness for all purposes, whether or not any such Liens are subordinated in any respect to any other Lien securing any other obligation of any Obligor or any other Person.

  

	 	b.	Each Subordinated Debt Party acknowledges that the terms of the Senior Indebtedness may be modified, extended or amended from time to time, and that the aggregate amount of the Senior Indebtedness may be increased,
replaced or Refinanced, in each event, without notice to or consent by any Subordinated Debt Party and without affecting the provisions hereof. The lien priorities provided in this Section shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any amendment,
modification, supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase, replacement, renewal, restatement or Refinancing of either the Senior Indebtedness or the Subordinated Indebtedness, or any portion thereof. 

3.3 Bailment for Perfection of Certain Security Interests 

Each Subordinated Debt Party agrees that if it shall at any time hold a Lien on any Collateral that can be perfected by the possession or
control of such Collateral or of any account 

  
 13 

 
in which such Collateral is held, and if such Collateral or any such account is in fact in the possession or under the control of the Subordinated Debt Party or any of their respective agents or
bailees (such Collateral being referred to herein as the “Other Pledged or Controlled Collateral”), such Subordinated Debt Party solely for the purpose of perfecting the Beneficiaries’ Liens granted under the related
governing documents, also holds such Other Pledged or Controlled Collateral as bailee for the Beneficiaries. No Subordinated Debt Party shall charge any Beneficiary a fee for holding such Collateral as bailee pursuant hereto. 

3.4 Certain Agreements with Respect to Unenforceable Liens 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in any Insolvency Proceeding a determination is made that any Lien held by a
Senior Lender encumbering, or purporting to encumber, any Collateral is not valid or enforceable for any reason, or is avoided or avoidable under a Bankruptcy Law, then each Subordinated Debt Party agrees that, any distribution or recovery it may
receive with respect to, or allocable to, the value of the assets intended to constitute such Collateral or any proceeds thereof shall, on a Pro Rata Basis (for so long as the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has not occurred), be segregated and
held in trust and forthwith paid over to the Senior Lenders (for application in payment of the Senior Indebtedness); provided that if in any Insolvency Proceeding a similar determination is made regarding any Lien (as described above, mutatis
mutandis to reflect Liens held by any other Beneficiary) held by any other Beneficiary, any such distribution or recovery shall, on a Pro Rata Basis, be held in trust and forthwith paid over to the Senior Lenders (for application to the Senior
Indebtedness) and the other Beneficiaries (for application to the applicable Other Senior Indebtedness), in each case, in the same form as received, if received in cash, or if not received in cash, as agreed by the Beneficiaries. Until the Discharge
of Senior Indebtedness occurs, each Subordinated Debt Party hereby appoints each Senior Lender, and any officer or agent of each Senior Lender, with full power of substitution, the attorney-in-fact of each Subordinated Debt Party for the limited
purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 3.4 for the benefit of the Senior Lenders and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Required Holders may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of
this Section 3.4 for the benefit of the Senior Lenders, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and is subject to any constraints thereon set forth in any Collateral Agreement. 

Article 4 

ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES 

4.1 Exercise of Rights and Remedies. 
  

	 	a.	 So long as the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced or is pending, the
Senior Lenders and the other Beneficiaries (if any) shall have the exclusive right to enforce all rights and to exercise all remedies (including any right of setoff or recoupment), whether at law or in equity, against the Obligors or the Collateral
(including making determinations regarding the release, Disposition or restrictions with respect to the Collateral), or to commence or seek to commence any action or proceeding with respect to

  
 14 

	 	
such rights or remedies (including any foreclosure action or proceeding or any Insolvency Proceeding), in each case, without any consultation with or the consent of any Subordinated Debt Party,
provided, however, a Subordinated Debt Party may exercise rights against the Obligors solely to the extent expressly permitted under Section 4.1(b)(i) and (ii) below. 

 

	 	b.	So long as the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced or is pending, no Subordinated Debt Party shall have any right to enforce any rights or to
exercise any remedies (including any right of setoff or recoupment), whether at law or in equity, against Obligors or the Collateral (including making determinations regarding the release, Disposition or restrictions with respect to the Collateral),
or to commence or seek to commence any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any foreclosure action or proceeding or any Insolvency Proceeding), except (i) that a Subordinated Debt Party may
(A) file any responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of a Subordinated Debt Party, in each
case, to the extent not in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, and (B) enforce rights and exercise remedies (other than initiating, or supporting any other Person (other than a Senior Lender or any other Beneficiary) in initiating, an
Insolvency Proceeding) against an Obligor (but not against Collateral) at any time during which such Subordinated Debt Party is permitted to receive and retain Permitted Payments under Section 7.1 below, and (ii) as otherwise
provided in Section 5.4 hereof. 

 4.2 No Waiver by Senior Lenders 

Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit any Senior Lender from opposing, challenging or objecting to, in any Insolvency
Proceeding or otherwise, any action taken, or any claim made, by a Subordinated Debt Party. 
 4.3 Automatic Release of Subordinated
Liens. 
  

	 	a.	If, in connection with any Disposition of any Collateral permitted under the terms of the Note Agreement, or in connection with the enforcement or exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral,
including any Disposition of Collateral, (1) the Senior Lenders release the Liens on such Collateral securing Senior Indebtedness or (2) such Liens securing the Senior Indebtedness are otherwise released as permitted by the Financing
Documents (in each case, a “Release”), other than any such Release granted following the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness, then the Liens on such Collateral securing Subordinated Indebtedness shall be automatically,
unconditionally and simultaneously released, and each Subordinated Debt Party shall promptly execute and deliver to the Senior Lenders, the relevant Obligor or grantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as any Senior Lender or
the relevant Obligor or grantor may reasonably request to effectively confirm such Release. 

  
 15 

	 	b.	Until the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness occurs, each Subordinated Debt Party hereby appoints each Senior Lender, and any officer or agent of each Senior Lender, with full power of substitution, as the
attorney-in-fact of each Subordinated Debt Party for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 4.3 and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Required Holders may deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purposes of this Section 4.3 (including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release), which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. 

4.4 Insurance and Condemnation Awards 

So long as the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has not occurred, the Senior Lenders and the other Beneficiaries shall have the exclusive
right, subject to the rights of the Obligors under the Financing Documents, to settle and adjust claims in respect of Collateral under policies of insurance covering Collateral and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar
proceeding, or any deed in lieu of condemnation, in respect of the Collateral. All proceeds of any such policy and any such award, or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation, shall, prior to the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness
and subject to the rights of the Obligors under the Financing Documents, be paid to the Senior Lenders (for application to the Senior Indebtedness) and the other Beneficiaries (for application to the applicable Other Senior Indebtedness), on a Pro
Rata Basis, and, subject to the rights of the Obligors under the Financing Documents, as proceeds of Collateral. Until the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has occurred, if a Subordinated Debt Party shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any
such insurance policy or any such award or payment, it shall transfer and pay over such proceeds to each of the Beneficiaries in accordance with Section 6.1. 

Article 5 
 NO
INTERFERENCE 
 5.1 Prohibited Acts. 

Without in any way limiting the scope of Section 4.1 above, so long as the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has not occurred, but
subject always to the provisions of Section 11.1(a), each Subordinated Debt Party agrees, whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding or other Proceeding has been commenced or is pending, that it will not, and hereby waives any right to:

  

	 	a.	initiate, or support any other Person (other than a Senior Lender or any other Beneficiary) in initiating, an Insolvency Proceeding; 

 

	 	b.	take, or support any other Person (other than a Senior Lender or any other Beneficiary) in taking, any Enforcement Action, except that Subordinated Creditor may receive and retain Permitted Payments solely to the extent

 16 

	 	c.	contest, protest or object to (or support any other Person contesting) any foreclosure action or proceeding (including an Insolvency Proceeding) brought by any Senior Lender or any other Beneficiary, or any other

	 	d.	contest, protest or object to (or support any other Person contesting) the forbearance by any Senior Lender or any other Beneficiary from commencing or pursuing any foreclosure action or proceeding or any other
enforcement or exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to the Senior Indebtedness and the Collateral; 

  

	 	e.	take or receive any Collateral, or any proceeds thereof or payment with respect thereto, in connection with the exercise of any right or enforcement of any remedy (including any right of setoff) with respect to any
Subordinated Indebtedness, any Collateral or in connection with any insurance policy award under a policy of insurance relating to any Collateral (including any mortgagee policy of insurance) or any condemnation award (or deed in lieu of
condemnation) relating to any Collateral; 

  

	 	f.	take (or support any other Person in taking) any action that would, or could reasonably be expected to, hinder, in any manner, any exercise of any rights or remedies of the Beneficiaries under any definitive
documentation entered into by the Obligors evidencing Beneficiary Indebtedness, including under the Financing Documents (including any Disposition of Collateral) by foreclosure or otherwise; 

 

	 	g.	contest, protest or object to (or support any other Person in objecting to) the manner in which any Senior Lender may seek to enforce or collect the Senior Indebtedness or any Liens, regardless of whether any action or
failure to act by or on behalf of any Senior Lender is, or could be, adverse to the interests of a Subordinated Debt Party, and will not assert (or support any other Person in asserting), and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or claim the benefit of any marshaling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may be available under applicable law with respect to the Collateral or any similar rights a junior
creditor may have under applicable law; 

  

	 	h.	 attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceeding or otherwise, to challenge or question (or support any other Person in challenging or
questioning) the validity, priority or enforceability of any 

  
 17 

	 	
Senior Indebtedness, the priority, perfection, validity or enforceability of any Lien on the Collateral, or the validity or enforceability of any of the Financing Documents, including this
Agreement (and any automatic reinstatement thereof under Section 11.1 below), or the validity or enforceability of the priorities, rights or obligations established by this Agreement; 

 

	 	i.	contest, protest or object to (or support any other Person contesting) any Disposition of all or any part of the Collateral, provided that the Liens of Subordinated Debt Parties attach to the net proceeds of the
Disposition with at least the same priority and validity as the Liens held by Subordinated Debt Parties on such Collateral, and the Liens remain subject to the terms of this Agreement; 

 

	 	j.	contest, protest or object to (or support any other Person contesting) any request of any Senior Lender for (1) relief from the automatic stay imposed by Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or (2) adequate

	 	k.	contest, protest or object to (or support any other Person contesting) the payment of Post-Petition Interest, or any fees, costs, charges and expenses to any Senior Lender under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy
Code; 

  

	 	l.	unless otherwise agreed by the Required Holders in writing, (i) file any motion, application or other pleading seeking affirmative relief, including without limitation for the appointment of a trustee or examiner
in an Insolvency Proceeding, for the conversion of the case to a liquidation proceeding, for the substantive consolidation of the Obligor’s bankruptcy case with the case of any other entity, for the creation of a separate official committee
representing only the Subordinated Creditors or the Subordinated Debt Parties, or any other form of affirmative relief of any other kind or nature, or (ii) file any objection or other responsive pleading opposing any relief requested by any
Senior Lender or support any other Person taking any such action; 

  

	 	m.	 In any Insolvency Proceeding or other Proceeding of any Obligor, if any Obligor shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, move for approval of financing,
which for avoidance of doubt, may include a roll-up of the Senior Indebtedness under the Note Agreement and the Notes (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders, which, for avoidance of doubt, may include the
Senior Lenders (the “DIP Lenders”), under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or the use of cash collateral or the sale of property that constitutes Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or pursuant to
any Plan of Reorganization, each Subordinated Creditor agrees that it will raise no objection to, nor support any Person objecting to, and shall be deemed to have consented to, any such financing or to the Liens on the Collateral securing the same
(“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any 

  
 18 

	 	
use of cash collateral or sale (whether under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or pursuant to any Plan of Reorganization) of property that constitutes Collateral (including any bid, sale
procedure or other orders in respect thereof), unless the Required Holders shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral or sale of Collateral (and each Subordinated Debt Party will consent,
and is deemed to have consented, to the subordination of its Liens with respect to such Collateral); 

  

	 	n.	provide (or support any Person other than a Beneficiary in providing) DIP Financing to any Obligor secured by Liens equal or senior in priority to the Liens securing any Senior Indebtedness, provided,
however, that if one or more Senior Lenders, on the one hand, and one or more other Beneficiaries, on the other hand, propose to provide competing DIP financings, no Subordinated Debt Party shall support any Beneficiary in providing DIP
Financing, unless all of the applicable Beneficiaries proposing to provide such competing DIP financings so agree, and provided, further if (i) the Senior Lenders are provided reasonable advance notice and opportunity to provide DIP Financing,
but no Senior Lender offers to provide such DIP Financing, and (ii) no other Person (other than a Subordinated Debt Party), after having received reasonable advance notice and opportunity to provide DIP Financing, offers to provide DIP
Financing on terms acceptable to the Senior Lenders, in each case on or before the date of any hearing to approve DIP Financing, then one or more Subordinated Debt Parties may seek to provide DIP Financing secured by Liens equal or senior in
priority to the Liens securing any Senior Indebtedness and the Senior Lenders may object to such DIP Financing; 

  

	 	o.	oppose, seek to challenge or support any Person challenging, the Senior Indebtedness, any Lien securing the Senior Indebtedness, or any request for the allowance and payment of Post-Petition Interest and post-petition
fees, costs, charges and expenses; 

  

	 	p.	seek adequate protection, within the meaning of Section 361 of the Bankruptcy Code, of any interest in any Collateral, in each case without the Required Holders’ prior written consent, provided, however, that
if in an Insolvency Proceeding Senior Lenders are granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional property as collateral, a Subordinated Debt Party holding a Lien at the time of the filing of such Insolvency Proceeding may seek or
request adequate protection in the form of a junior Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien shall automatically be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, including without limitation, the payment-over provisions herein
contained, and shall be subordinated to the Liens of the Senior Lenders (including adequate protection Liens) and subordinated to any DIP Financing Liens (and all obligations relating thereto), in each case on the same basis as the Subordinated Debt
Party’s other Liens are subordinated herein; 

  
 19 

	 	q.	propose, sponsor, support, vote in favor of or agree to (i) any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization or (ii) any Plan of Reorganization, directly or indirectly, that is pursued pursuant to

	 	r.	seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in an Insolvency Proceeding or other Proceeding in respect of Collateral, an Obligor or its property.

	 	a.	At any time prior to the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness, in any Insolvency Proceeding or other Proceeding of any Obligor or its property: 

 

	 	i.	the Required Holders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to file claims and proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness, vote any and all such claims in connection with any Plan of
Reorganization, and take such other action as the Required Holders may so elect in their discretion; 

  

	 	ii.	each Subordinated Debt Party hereby grants each Senior Lender an irrevocable proxy coupled with a pledge to vote or cause to be voted any and all claims of such Subordinated Debt Party arising in connection with any
Plan of Reorganization, in proportion to the Senior Indebtedness on a Pro Rata Basis (or as otherwise agreed by all of the Beneficiaries); 

  

	 	iii.	unless the Required Holders have invoked their rights under this Section 5.2 or another Beneficiary has invoked any rights it may have to file claims or proofs of claims on account of the Subordinated
Indebtedness in an Insolvency Proceeding or other Proceeding, each Subordinated Debt Party shall timely file a claim or proof of claim or claims or proofs of claim, each in the form required in such Proceedings, for the full outstanding amount of
the Subordinated Indebtedness; 

  

	 	iv.	each Subordinated Debt Party shall cause said claim or proofs of claim, whether filed by such Subordinated Debt Party, the Required Holders, or another Beneficiary to be approved by the Beneficiaries, and all payments
and other distributions in respect thereof to be made directly to each of the Senior Lenders (for application to the Senior Indebtedness) and the other Beneficiaries (for application to the applicable Other Senior Indebtedness), on a Pro Rata Basis;
and 

  
 20 

	 	v.	Each of the Subordinated Debt Parties agrees that it will support, vote in favor of and agree to any Plan of Reorganization proposed or supported by the Beneficiaries. 

 

	 	b.	Each Subordinated Debt Party shall execute and deliver to the Senior Lenders such further proofs of claim, assignments of claim and other instruments confirming the authorization referred to in the foregoing clause (a),
and any powers of attorney confirming the rights of the Senior Lenders arising thereunder, and shall take such other actions as may be requested by the Senior Lenders or their representative in connection therewith in order to enable the Senior
Lenders or their representative to enforce any and all claims in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness at any time prior to the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness. 

 

	 	c.	Each Subordinated Debt Party hereby irrevocably agrees that the Required Holders may, in their sole discretion, in the name of each such Subordinated Debt Party or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect, and receive any
receipt for any and all such payments or distributions which would be required hereunder to be applied to the Senior Indebtedness, and any such receipts shall be distributed to the Senior Lenders (for application to the Senior Indebtedness), and
file, prove and vote or consent in any Proceeding with respect to any and all claims of each of the Subordinated Debt Parties relating to the Subordinated Indebtedness at any time prior to the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness. 

5.3 Certain Additional Waivers by Subordinated Debt Parties 

Each Subordinated Debt Party waives any claim it or they may hereafter have against any Senior Lender arising out of any action taken or not

Bankruptcy Law, or (b) any use of cash collateral or DIP Financing authorized in any Insolvency Proceeding or other Proceeding, or (c) any grant of a security interest, any payment, or award of adequate protection within the meaning of
Section 361 of the Bankruptcy Code, in any Insolvency Proceeding, or (d) any sale or other Disposition of Collateral or in connection with any Plan of Reorganization. In addition, no Subordinated Debt Party shall assert or enforce, at any
time prior to the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness, any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.

the Subordinated Debt Parties from taking any of the following actions: (a) any action to the extent necessary to (i) prevent the running of any

 Article 6 

ADDITIONAL PAYMENT PROVISIONS; PAYMENT OVER 

6.1 Payment Over 
 So long
as the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has not occurred, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, debt securities, Equity Interests, obligations, or other property, and whether or not such payment or distribution is
Collateral, proceeds of Collateral, or on account of Collateral, in each case whether or not under a Plan of Reorganization or otherwise, together with the property referred to in Section 2.1(e), Section 2.2,
Section 3.1(c) and Section 4.4, received by a Subordinated Debt Party in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness, in each case other than Permitted Payments under Section 7.1, shall be segregated and held in
trust and forthwith transferred or paid over to the Senior Lenders (for application to the Senior Indebtedness) and the other Beneficiaries (for application to the applicable Other Senior Indebtedness), on a Pro Rata Basis, in each case (i) in
the same form as received, if received in the form of cash, and to the extent not received in the form of cash, then as directed in a writing signed by all of the Beneficiaries, and (ii) together with any necessary endorsements. Until the
Discharge of Senior Indebtedness occurs, each Subordinated Creditor (a) agrees to reimburse the Senior Lenders for all reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Senior Lenders in the course of collecting said
sums should a Subordinated Debt Party fail to voluntarily turn the same over to the applicable Beneficiary in accordance with this Agreement and upon demand, and (b) hereby appoints each Senior Lender, and any officer or agent of each Senior
Lender, with full power of substitution, the attorney-in-fact of each Subordinated Debt Party for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 6.1 for the benefit of the Senior Lenders and taking any action and executing
any instrument that the Required Holders may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 6.1 for the benefit of the Senior Lenders, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. 

6.2 Application of Payments 

All payments and distributions received by the Senior Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and in respect of the Subordinated
Indebtedness (other than Permitted Payments), to the extent received in or converted into cash, may be applied by the Senior Lenders first to the 

  
 22 

 
payment of any and all reasonable expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) paid or incurred by the Senior Lenders in enforcing this Agreement, or in endeavoring to collect or
realize upon any of the Subordinated Indebtedness or any Collateral, in each case as provided herein, and any balance thereof shall, solely as between the Subordinated Debt Parties and the Senior Lenders, be applied by the Senior Lenders in such
order of application as the Senior Lenders may from time to time elect, toward the payment of the Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid. 

6.3 Payment in Full on Senior Indebtedness 

For purposes of this Agreement, the Senior Indebtedness shall not be deemed to have been paid in full until the Discharge of Senior
Indebtedness shall have occurred. 
 6.4 Legend on Subordinated Debt Instruments 

The Subordinated Creditors shall, substantially simultaneously with the execution and delivery hereof, cause a conspicuous legend to be placed
on each of the instruments evidencing Subordinated Indebtedness to the following effect: 
 “This instrument, the indebtedness evidenced
hereby or any lien or security interest on Collateral securing such indebtedness, is subordinated, in the manner and to the extent set forth in an agreement dated as of September 30, 2014 (as such agreement may from time to time be amended,
restated, modified, or supplemented, the “Subordination Agreement”), by the maker and payee of this instrument in favor of “the Senior Lenders” referred to therein, to all Senior Indebtedness (as defined therein),
and each holder of this instrument, by its acceptance hereof, shall be bound by the Subordination Agreement.” 
 and upon request by the Required
Holders deliver a copy of each of the instruments evidencing Subordinated Indebtedness, as so marked, to the Senior Lenders within 60 days following such request. In the event of any conflict between any instrument evidencing Subordinated
Indebtedness and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. 
 Article 7 

PERMITTED PAYMENTS 
 7.1
Permitted Payments 
 At any time other than during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default, and subject to the other
conditions contained in Section 10.9 of the Note Agreement, each Subordinated Debt Party shall be entitled to receive and retain payments (“Permitted Payments”) on account of any Subordinated Indebtedness in accordance
with the terms of such Subordinated Indebtedness. 

  
 23 

 Article 8 

SUBROGATION 
 8.1 Right
of Subrogation and Related Restrictions 
 If a Subordinated Debt Party pays or distributes cash, property, or other assets to the Senior
Lenders, the Subordinated Debt Party will be subrogated to the rights of the Senior Lenders with respect to the value of the payment or distribution; provided, however, the Subordinated Debt Party shall not exercise any rights which it may acquire
by way of subrogation or contribution under this Agreement, as a result of any payment made hereunder or otherwise, until this Agreement has ceased to be effective in accordance with Section 11.1(a). 

8.2 Transfer by Subrogation 

If (a) the Senior Lenders receive payment of any of the Subordinated Indebtedness and (b) the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has
occurred, then the Senior Lenders will each, at the applicable Subordinated Creditor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to the Subordinated Creditor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty (except
as to their right to transfer such Senior Indebtedness and related security free of encumbrances created by the Senior Lenders), necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Subordinated Creditor of an interest in its Senior Indebtedness
and any security held therefor resulting from such payment of the Subordinated Indebtedness to the Senior Lenders.

impair the liability of a Subordinated Debt Party or the rights of the Senior Lenders under this Agreement; 

 all of which may be done
without notice to or consent of a Subordinated Debt Party and without impairing, releasing or otherwise affecting any rights or obligations of any Subordinated Debt Party hereunder or any rights of the Senior Lenders hereunder. 

  
 25 

 Article 10 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

10.1 Representations and Warranties 

Each Subordinated Creditor hereby represents and warrants to the Senior Lenders that: 

 

	 	a.	such Subordinated Creditor is duly incorporated, formed or amalgamated, as the case may be, and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, formation, or amalgamation, as the case may be;

  

	 	b.	such Subordinated Creditor has all necessary corporate or equivalent power and authority to enter into this Agreement; 

  

	 	c.	such Subordinated Creditor has taken all necessary corporate or equivalent action to authorize the creation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement; 

 

	 	d.	this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of such Subordinated Creditor, enforceable against such Subordinated Creditor in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforcement to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and general equity principles; and 

 

	 	e.	neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor compliance with the terms and conditions hereof (i) will result in a violation of any formation or governance documents of such Subordinated Creditor or any
applicable law, order, judgment, injunction, award or decree; (ii) will result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any loan agreement, indenture, trust deed or any other material agreement or instrument to which such Subordinated
Creditor is a party or by which it or its assets are bound; or (iii) requires any approval or consent of any governmental authority having jurisdiction except such as has already been obtained and is in full force and effect. 

Article 11 
 CONTINUING
SUBORDINATION 
 11.1 Continuing Subordination; Reinstatement 

This Agreement shall create a continuing subordination and shall: 
  

	 	a.	remain in full force and effect until the earlier of: (i) the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has occurred, or (ii) 366 days after the Discharge of Subordinated Indebtedness has occurred;
provided, however, that if an Insolvency Proceeding is initiated on or before the date that is 366 days after the Discharge of Subordinated Indebtedness has occurred, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the
Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has occurred and, provided, further, that Section 9.1(b) shall remain in effect until 91 days after such time; 

  
 26 

	 	b.	be binding upon each Subordinated Debt Party and its successors and assigns; and

other Person entitled to the benefit of any Financing Documents from time to time, including any permitted assignee of some or all of the Financing Documents. 

Each Subordinated Debt Party agrees that, following termination hereof, this Agreement shall be automatically reinstated if for any reason any payment or
transfer made on account of the Senior Indebtedness or Subordinated Indebtedness, as the case may be, is rescinded, avoided or must be otherwise restored or returned by any Senior Lender or Subordinated Debt Party, as the case may be, whether as a
result of any Insolvency Proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, in each case retroactive to the date of such payment or transfer. 

11.2 Other Obligations not Affected 

The subordination provided for herein is in addition to and not in substitution for any other agreement or any other security by whomsoever
given or at any time held by any of the Senior Lenders in respect of the Senior Indebtedness, and the Senior Lenders shall at all times have the right to proceed against or realize upon all or any portion of any other agreement or any security or
any other monies or assets to which the Senior Lenders may become entitled or have a claim in such order and in such manner as the Senior Lenders in their sole discretion may deem appropriate. 

11.3 Acknowledgment of Documentation

documents, instruments or agreements which are executed in the future pursuant to which Senior Indebtedness may arise. None of the Senior Lenders shall in any manner have any obligation to ensure such receipt nor shall lack of receipt in any way

Parties, any Obligor or any other 

  
 28 

 
obligor of the Senior Indebtedness, or a discharge of the Senior Indebtedness, any Obligor or any Senior Indebtedness (other than a Discharge of Senior Indebtedness); or (h) any action taken

	 	b.	No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof unless specifically waived in writing, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 

 

	 	c.	Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given and shall not in any way be
or be construed as a waiver of any future requirement. 

  

	 	d.	 In addition, no term or provision of any in-effect subordination agreement (including, without limitation, that certain Subordination Agreement, made
as of November 13, 2013, by the Issuer, Midcoast, the other Credit Parties (as defined therein) party thereto, EEP, the subsidiaries and other affiliates of EEP party thereto, in favor of Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing
Line Lender, and an L/C Issuer, and the Senior Lenders (as defined therein), as amended and in effect from time to time) that is executed by a Subordinated Debt Party in favor of a Beneficiary (which relates to the Subordinated Indebtedness as the

  
 29 

	 	
Indebtedness subordinated thereunder to the Beneficiary Indebtedness therein designated as “senior indebtedness”) may be amended, waived, supplemented or otherwise modified without the
prior written consent of the Required Holders if such amendment, waiver, supplement or other modification (i) provides, or proposes, any term or provision more advantageous to holders of such Beneficiary Indebtedness than those provided to the
Senior Lenders under this Agreement (which such consent, in the case of this clause (i), shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) or (ii) adversely affects any Senior Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, any termination of any
such other subordination agreement shall not require the consent of the Required Holders.

each of the Senior Lenders and their respective successors and assigns permitted pursuant to the terms of the Financing Documents. 

  

	 	b.	Notwithstanding any provision herein or referred to herein, nothing shall prohibit or otherwise restrict the Senior Lenders from assigning all, but not part, of the Senior Indebtedness to any one or more Affiliates of
the Issuer. 

 13.4 Effectiveness in Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings

Bankruptcy Code, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding notwithstanding Section 1129(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, and is intended to be and shall be interpreted to be enforceable against the

subject to this Agreement. If any Subordinated Debt Party takes a guarantee for any Subordinated Indebtedness, all obligations under such guarantee shall constitute Subordinated Indebtedness herein and such guaranty (and any recoveries thereon)
shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement, including the payment over provisions contained herein.

further acts and things and execute and deliver all such further documents as the Senior Lenders may reasonably require in order to fully perform and carry out the terms of this Agreement. 

13.7 Counterparts 
 This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 31 

 13.11 Beneficiaries 

The provisions of this Agreement define the relative rights solely of the Subordinated Creditors and the Senior Lenders, and nothing contained
in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Issuer or any other Obligor, which are unconditional and absolute, to pay the Senior Indebtedness and the Subordinated Indebtedness as and when the same shall become due and
payable in accordance with their respective terms, or to affect the relative rights of creditors of the Issuer or any other Obligor other than the relative rights of the Senior Lenders and the Subordinated Creditors or the Liens created in favor of
the Senior Lenders and the Subordinated Creditors, respectively. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is specifically understood and agreed that no Person (including any Beneficiary other than the Senior Lenders) is a third-party
beneficiary of this Agreement, and in furtherance (but not in limitation) thereof (i) no trustee in any Insolvency Proceeding for or affecting, or unsecured creditor of, any Obligor will have or acquire or be entitled to exercise any rights of
any Senior Lender or Subordinated Creditor under this Agreement under any legal or equitable basis, theories or circumstances and (ii) the provisions of this Agreement are not for the benefit of, and may not be enforced by, any Obligor or any
other obligor of the Senior Indebtedness or the Subordinated Indebtedness, or any creditor of an Obligor or such obligors (except the Senior Lenders and the Subordinated Creditors as herein provided). 

13.12 Conflict with Collateral Agreements 

To the extent there is any conflict or inconsistency among the terms hereof and the terms of any Collateral Agreement, the terms of such
Collateral Agreement shall control. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their
respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

 4 

 (c) Section 2.02(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety as follows: 
 (a) Each Borrowing (other than an L/C Borrowing), each conversion of Committed Loans
from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Committed Loans as the same Type shall be made upon the relevant Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone, or (B) a Loan
Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Loan Notice. Each such Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York time,
(i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any such Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Committed Loans, and (ii) on the requested date
of any Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Loans. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in
Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether
the requesting Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be
(which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Committed Loans are to be converted, and
(v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the requesting Borrower fails to specify a Type of Committed Loan in a Loan Notice or if the requesting Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a
conversion or continuation, then the applicable Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with
respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If a Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an
Interest Period of one month. 
 (d) Section 2.04(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in
its entirety as follows: 
 (b) Borrowing Procedures; Conversion to Base Rate. Each Swing Line Borrowing, and each
conversion of Swing Line Borrowings from one Type to the other, shall be made upon the requesting Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative 

  
 5 

 
Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) by a Swing Line Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender
and the Administrative Agent of a Swing Line Loan Notice. Each Swing Line Notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing or conversion date, and shall specify
(i) the amount to be borrowed or converted, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, (ii) the requested borrowing or conversion date, which shall be a Business Day, and (iii) whether the Loan is a Base Rate Loan or a Daily Floating
Eurodollar Rate Loan. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any Swing Line Loan Notice requesting a Swing Line Borrowing, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the
Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by
telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result
of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the requesting Borrower at its office by crediting the
account of such Borrower on the books of the Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds. Each Swing Line Loan accruing interest at the Daily Floating Eurodollar Rate shall continue to accrue interest as a Daily Floating Eurodollar Rate Loan at
the end of each of its Interest Period unless and until (i) a Borrower has given notice of conversion to a Base Rate Loan in accordance with this Section 2.04(b), or (ii) such Swing Line Loan is refinanced pursuant to
Section 2.04(c). 
 (e) The first sentence of Section 2.05(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety as follows: 
 Each Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time
voluntarily prepay Committed Loans, in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New
York time, (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (B) one Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate Loans shall
be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

“Collateral Agreements”)” in clause (a) thereof with “(collectively, and together with the Collateral Agency Agreement, the “Collateral Agreements”). 

(h) Section 7.01(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) deleting the word “and” after
clause (iv) thereof and (ii) adding the following as a new clause (v): 
 (v) upon (or after, if applicable) the
occurrence of a Springing Lien Trigger Event, Liens on Springing Lien Collateral securing Indebtedness under any Senior Notes on a pari passu basis with the Liens securing the Obligations, provided that (x) such Indebtedness is not
prohibited under Section 7.12, (y) the Collateral Agency Agreement is in full force and effect and (z) the Obligations are at all times secured pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 6.13(a) on at least an
equal and ratable basis. 
 (i) Section 7.02(b)(vii) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in
its entirety as follows: 
 (vii) Dispositions in which: (i) the assets being disposed of are exchanged, within 365 days following such
Disposition, for replacement assets having a fair market value, in the good faith opinion of the Parent Borrower, at least equal to the then value of the asset, or if more than one asset, aggregate value of the assets, being disposed, which are to
be used in the business of the Borrowers or a Subsidiary or (ii) the net cash proceeds thereof are (A) reinvested (by means of replacement, acquisition, repair, improvement, construction or development) within 365 days following such

 (viii) asset swaps with EEP or any of EEP’s Subsidiaries pursuant to the reasonable
requirements of such Loan Party’s or such Subsidiary’s business and upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to such Loan Party or such Subsidiary than would be obtainable in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person
not an Affiliate. 
 (k) Section 7.09 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following proviso
immediately before the period at the end of the first sentence of such Section: “provided, further, that the proceeds of any equity contribution or incurrence of Qualifying Subordinated Indebtedness made pursuant to the foregoing

 (l)

(m) Section 7.12(a)(ix) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting “or the Opco Borrower”
after the initial reference to “Parent Borrower” therein. 
 (n) Section 7.12(a)(x) of the Credit
Agreement is hereby amended by inserting “and the Opco Borrower” after the reference to “Subsidiary Guarantors” therein.

(a) Prior to the date the Parent Borrower receives an Investment Grade Rating, purchase, repay or prepay any subordinated Indebtedness or
obligations under the Support Agreements or other Financial Support Obligations, except that a Loan Party may purchase, repay or prepay any Indebtedness subordinated to the Obligations or obligations under the Support Agreements or other Financial
Support Obligations so long as (i) immediately after giving effect to such purchase or payment, the Parent Borrower is in compliance with Sections 7.09 and 7.10, (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or would result therefrom and (iii) such purchase or payment is made in compliance with the terms of all applicable subordination agreements, intercreditor agreements and collateral agency agreements (including, without limitation,
the Collateral Agency Agreement). 
 (p) There is hereby added to the Credit Agreement a new Section 7.14, which
shall read in its entirety as follows: 
 7.14 Sanctions. Use the proceeds of any Credit Extension, or lend,
contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other individual or entity, to fund any activities of, or business with, any individual or entity, or in any

  
 8 

 
Designated Jurisdiction, that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of a Sanction, or in any other manner that will result in a violation of a Sanction by the Borrower or any Subsidiary
or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, by any other individual or entity (including any individual or entity participating in the transaction, whether as Lender, Arranger, Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender, or
otherwise). 
 (q) The first sentence of Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in

 Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the
Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents 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 or thereof,
together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including, without limitation, entering into the Collateral Agency Agreement on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers. By their acceptance of the benefits of the
Springing Lien Collateral, each Lender and each L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have agreed to the terms of the Collateral Agency Agreement. 

(r) The last sentence of Section 10.02(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as
follows: 
 In no event shall the Agent-Related Persons have any liability to any Borrower, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Person
for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials or notices through the Platform, any
other electronic platform or electronic messaging service, or through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent-Related Person; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent-Related Person have any liability to any Borrower, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any
other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages). 

(s) There is hereby added to the Credit Agreement a new Section 10.21, which shall read in its entirety as follows:

 10.21 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “execute,”
“execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby

  
 9 

 
(including without limitation Assignment and Assumptions, amendments or other modifications, Loan Notices, Swing Line Loan Notices, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic
signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, and the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or
enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National
Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Borrower is under any obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by it pursuant to procedures approved by it (for the avoidance of doubt, it being agreed
and acknowledged by each of Administrative Agent and each Borrower that any manually executed document, or any manually executed signature page thereto, transmitted by electronic transmission by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (i.e.,
“pdf” or “tif”), does not constitute an “electronic signature” as described in, or contemplated by, this paragraph). 

(t) Exhibit E of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to be in the form attached hereto
as Annex A. 
 SECTION 3. Extension of Scheduled Maturity Date. Each Lender party hereto hereby (a) agrees to the
Extension and (b) agrees that, effective as of the date hereof, the Scheduled Maturity Date with respect to such Lender’s Commitment shall be September 30, 2017. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.14 of the
Credit Agreement, the Extension shall be deemed to have been effected pursuant to Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement and, after giving effect to this Amendment, the Parent Borrower shall have the right to request additional one-year
extensions of the Scheduled Maturity Date up to an additional three times pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 2.14 of the Amended Credit Agreement. In addition, the parties hereto hereby agree and acknowledge that
November 13, 2016 shall remain the Scheduled Maturity Date for each Lender that is not a party hereto. 
 SECTION 4. Representations
and Warranties. 
 To induce the other parties hereto to enter into this Amendment, the Borrowers represent and warrant that, as of the
date hereof: 
 (a) both immediately before and after giving effect to this Amendment, all representations and warranties of the Borrowers
contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement, and which are contained in any Loan Document furnished by any Loan Party at any time under, or in connection with, this Amendment or the Credit Agreement, are true and correct, except to the
extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to a different date, in which case they are true and correct as of such date and except that the representations and warranties 

  
 10 

 
contained in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to
clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement; 
 (b) both immediately before
and after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default exists; 
 (c) the execution, delivery and performance by each
Loan Party of this Amendment and the performance by such Loan Party of the Amended Credit Agreement and each Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, and
do not and will not (i) violate the terms of any of the Loan Party’s Organization Documents, (ii) result in any breach of, constitute a default under, or require, pursuant to the express provisions thereof, the creation of any
consensual Lien on the properties of such Loan Party under, any Contractual Obligation to which such Loan Party is a party or any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority to which such Loan Party or its property is subject, or
(iii) violate any Law, in each case with respect to the preceding clauses (i) through (iii), which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; 

(d) this Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each Loan Party, enforceable against
such Loan Party in accordance with their terms, subject as to enforcement to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity
principles; and 
 (e) no approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental
Authority is required to be obtained or made by any Loan Party by any material statutory law or regulation applicable to it as a condition to the execution, delivery or performance by, or enforcement against, such Loan Party of this Amendment or the
performance by, or enforcement against, such Loan Party of the Amended Credit Agreement.

substantially in the form of Annex A attached hereto; and 

 (b) the Parent Borrower shall have (i) paid all fees

 SECTION 9. Confirmation of Loan Documents. 

The terms, provisions, conditions and covenants of the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents remain in full force and effect
and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly set forth in this Amendment, operate as a waiver of, consent to or amendment of any term, provision,

WHEREAS, Section 3(c) of the Financial Support Agreement and Section 29(c) of the Working Capital Agreement generally provide, among

or otherwise) is declared to be a fraudulent conveyance or a preference in any respect, set aside or required to be paid to a debtor-in- possession, trustee, a creditor, any Subordinated Debt Party, receiver or similar Person, then the obligation or
part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall, for the purposes of this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Senior Lenders and each Subordinated Debt Party, be deemed to be reinstated and outstanding as if such payment had not

perfection of any such Impermissible Subordinated Debt Liens, and notwithstanding any failure of the Administrative Agent or the Senior Lenders to adequately perfect its or their Liens securing any Senior Indebtedness, the subordination of any Lien
securing any Senior Indebtedness to any Lien securing any other obligation of any Credit Party, or the avoidance, invalidation or lapse of any Lien securing any Senior Indebtedness; (ii) agrees to take no action to enforce any Impermissible
Subordinated Debt Liens; (iii) agrees to execute such terminations, releases and other documents as Administrative Agent requests in its sole discretion to release the Impermissible Subordinated Debt Liens or to assign the Impermissible
Subordinated Debt Liens for the benefit of the Senior Lenders, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, provided that contemporaneously therewith, the Senior Lenders, upon receiving a first-priority Lien on such asset or property to secure
the Senior Indebtedness as required under clause (A) above, permit a junior, second-priority Lien on such asset or property to be granted to secure the Subordinated Indebtedness (in all respects subject to the terms of this

  
 10 

	 	
Agreement), (iv) in furtherance of the foregoing, hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority (subject to any constraints thereon set forth in
any Collateral Agreement) in the place and stead of each Subordinated Debt Party to execute and deliver any document or instrument which such Subordinated Debt Party may be required to deliver pursuant to this Section 3.1;
(v) agrees that no Subordinated Debt Party shall have any right to possession of any assets or property encumbered by or subject to the Impermissible Subordinated Debt Liens, whether by judicial action or otherwise; and (vi) agrees that,
so long as the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has not occurred, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, debt securities, Equity Interests, obligations, or other property, and whether or not such payment or
distribution is collateral, proceeds of collateral, or on account of collateral, whether under a Plan of Reorganization or otherwise, received by or distributed to any Subordinated Debt Party as a result of such Impermissible Subordinated Debt Lien
shall be turned over to the Administrative Agent (for application to the Senior Indebtedness) and the other Beneficiaries (for application to the applicable Other Senior Indebtedness), on a Pro Rata Basis. 

3.2 Relative Priorities 
  

	 	a.	Notwithstanding the date, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Lien on the Collateral securing Senior Indebtedness, on one hand, or any Lien on the Collateral securing Subordinated Indebtedness
(including any Liens on assets or property prohibited by or in violation of the Credit Agreement), on the other hand, and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC or any other applicable law or the provisions of any security document or any other
Loan Document or any other circumstance whatsoever, and notwithstanding any failure of the Administrative Agent or the Senior Lenders to adequately perfect its or their Liens in the Collateral, the subordination of any Lien on the Collateral
securing any Senior Indebtedness to any Lien securing any other obligation of any Credit Party, or the avoidance, invalidation or lapse of any Lien on the Collateral securing any Senior Indebtedness, each Subordinated Debt Party hereby agrees that,
so long as the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has not occurred, (a) any such Lien now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of any Senior Lender which now or hereafter secures Senior Indebtedness shall be senior in right, priority,
operation, effect and all other respects to any and all such Liens now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of any Subordinated Debt Party which now or hereafter secure Subordinated Indebtedness, (b) any such Lien now or hereafter held by or
for the benefit of any Subordinated Debt Party which now or hereafter secures Subordinated Indebtedness shall be junior and subordinate in right, priority, operation, effect and all other respects to any and all such Liens now or hereafter held by
or for the benefit of any Senior Lender which now or hereafter secures Senior Indebtedness, and (c) any and all such Liens now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of any Senior Lender which now or hereafter secure Senior Indebtedness shall
be and remain senior in right, priority, operation, effect and all other respects to any and all such Liens now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of any Subordinated Debt Party which now or hereafter secures Subordinated Indebtedness for all
purposes, whether or not any such Liens are subordinated in any respect to any other Lien securing any other obligation of the Obligor, any other Credit Party or any other Person. 

  
 11 

	 	b.	Each Subordinated Debt Party acknowledges that a portion of the Senior Indebtedness represents debt that is revolving in nature and that the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be
increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, and that the terms of the Senior Indebtedness may be modified, extended or amended from time to time, and that the aggregate amount of the Senior Indebtedness may be increased, replaced or
refinanced, in each event, without notice to or consent by any Subordinated Debt Party and without affecting the provisions hereof. The lien priorities provided in this Section shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any such amendment,
modification, supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase, replacement, renewal, restatement or refinancing of either the Senior Indebtedness or the Subordinated Indebtedness, or any portion thereof. 

3.3 Bailment for Perfection of Certain Security Interests 

Each Subordinated Debt Party agrees that if it shall at any time hold a Lien on any Collateral that can be perfected by the
possession or control of such Collateral or of any account in which such Collateral is held, and if such Collateral or any such account is in fact in the possession or under the control of the Subordinated Debt Party or any of their respective
agents or bailees (such Collateral being referred to herein as the “Other Pledged or Controlled Collateral”), such Subordinated Debt Party solely for the purpose of perfecting the Beneficiaries’ Liens granted under the
related governing documents, also holds such Other Pledged or Controlled Collateral as bailee for the Beneficiaries. No Subordinated Debt Party shall charge any Beneficiary a fee for holding such Collateral as bailee pursuant hereto.

 3.4 Certain Agreements with Respect to Unenforceable Liens 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in any Insolvency Proceeding a determination is made that any Lien held
by a Senior Lender encumbering, or purporting to encumber, any Collateral is not valid or enforceable for any reason, or is avoided or avoidable under a Bankruptcy Law, then each Subordinated Debt Party agrees that, any distribution or recovery it
may receive with respect to, or allocable to, the value of the assets intended to constitute such Collateral or any proceeds thereof shall, on a Pro Rata Basis (for so long as the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has not occurred), be segregated and
held in trust and forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Lenders and application in payment of the Senior Indebtedness); provided that if in any Insolvency Proceeding a similar determination is made regarding
any Lien (as described above, mutatis mutandis to reflect Liens held by any other Beneficiary) held by any other Beneficiary, any such distribution or recovery shall, on a Pro Rata Basis, be held in trust and forthwith paid over to the
Administrative Agent (for application to the Senior Indebtedness) and the other Beneficiaries (for application to the applicable Other Senior Indebtedness), in each case, in the same form as received, if received in cash, or if not received in cash,
as agreed by the Beneficiaries. Until the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness occurs, each Subordinated Debt Party hereby appoints the Administrative Agent, and any officer or agent of the Administrative Agent, with full power of substitution, the
attorney-in-fact of each Subordinated Debt Party for the limited purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 3.4 for the benefit of the Senior Lenders and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Administrative
Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 3.4 for the benefit of the Senior Lenders, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and is subject to any constraints thereon set
forth in any Collateral Agreement.

ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES 

4.1 Exercise of Rights and Remedies. 
  

	 	a.	So long as the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced or is pending, the Administrative Agent and the other Beneficiaries (if any) shall have the
exclusive right to enforce all rights and to exercise all remedies (including any right of setoff or recoupment), whether at law or in equity, against the Credit Parties and the Collateral (including making determinations regarding the release,
Disposition or restrictions with respect to the Collateral), or to commence or seek to commence any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any foreclosure action or proceeding or any Insolvency Proceeding), in each
case, without any consultation with or the consent of any Subordinated Debt Party, provided, however, a Subordinated Debt Party may exercise rights against the Credit Parties solely to the extent expressly permitted under
Section 4.1(b)(i) and (ii) below. 

  

	 	b.	So long as the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced or is pending, no Subordinated Debt Party shall have any right to enforce any rights or to
exercise any remedies (including any right of setoff or recoupment), whether at law or in equity, against Credit Parties or the Collateral (including making determinations regarding the release, Disposition or restrictions with respect to the
Collateral), or to commence or seek to commence any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any foreclosure action or proceeding or any Insolvency Proceeding), except (i) that a Subordinated Debt Party may
(A) file any responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of a Subordinated Debt Party, in each
case, to the extent not in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, and (B) enforce rights and exercise remedies (other than initiating, or supporting any other Person (other than Administrative Agent or any other Beneficiary) in
initiating, an Insolvency Proceeding) against a Credit Party (but not against Collateral) at any time during which such Subordinated Debt Party is permitted to receive and retain Permitted Payments under Section 7.1 below, and
(ii) as otherwise provided in Section 5.4 hereof. 

 4.2 No Waiver by Senior Lenders 

Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the Administrative Agent or any other Senior Lender from opposing, challenging or
objecting to, in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, any action taken, or any claim made, by a Subordinated Debt Party. 
 4.3
Automatic Release of Subordinated Liens. 
  

	 	a.	 If, (i) in connection with any Disposition of any Collateral permitted under the terms of the Loan Documents, or (ii) as required under
Section 6.13(b) of the Credit Agreement upon the occurrence of the Collateral Release Date (as defined 

  
 13 

	 	
in the Credit Agreement), or (iii) in connection with the enforcement or exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral, including any Disposition of Collateral,
(1) the Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Senior Lenders, releases the Liens on such Collateral securing Senior Indebtedness or (2) such Liens securing the Senior Indebtedness are otherwise released as permitted
by the Loan Documents, (in each case, a “Release”), other than any such Release granted following the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness, then the Liens on such Collateral securing Subordinated Indebtedness shall be
automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released, and each Subordinated Debt Party shall promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, the relevant Obligor or grantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as
the Administrative Agent or the relevant Obligor or grantor may reasonably request to effectively confirm such Release. 

  

	 	b.	Until the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness occurs, each Subordinated Debt Party hereby appoints the Administrative Agent, and any officer or agent of the Administrative Agent, with full power of substitution, as the
attorney-in-fact of each Subordinated Debt Party for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 4.3 and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purposes of this Section 4.3 (including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release), which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. 

4.4 Insurance and Condemnation Awards 

So long as the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has not occurred, the Administrative Agent and the other Beneficiaries shall have the
exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Obligors under the Loan Documents, to settle and adjust claims in respect of Collateral under policies of insurance covering Collateral and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar
proceeding, or any deed in lieu of condemnation, in respect of the Collateral. All proceeds of any such policy and any such award, or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation, shall, prior to the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness
and subject to the rights of the Obligors under the Loan Documents, be paid to the Administrative Agent (for application to the Senior Indebtedness) and the other Beneficiaries (for application to the applicable Other Senior Indebtedness), on a Pro
Rata Basis, and, subject to the rights of the Obligors under the Loan Documents, as proceeds of Collateral. Until the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has occurred, if a Subordinated Debt Party shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such
insurance policy or any such award or payment, it shall transfer and pay over such proceeds to each of the Beneficiaries in accordance with Section 6.1. 

ARTICLE 5 
 NO INTERFERENCE

 5.1 Prohibited Acts. 

Without in any way limiting the scope of Section 4.1 above, so long as the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has not occurred, but
subject always to the provisions of Section 11.1(a), each Subordinated Debt Party agrees, whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding or other Proceeding has been commenced or is pending, that it will not, and hereby waives any right to:

  

	 	a.	initiate, or support any other Person (other than Administrative Agent or any other Beneficiary) in initiating, an Insolvency Proceeding; 

  
 14 

	 	b.	take, or support any other Person (other than Administrative Agent or any other Beneficiary) in taking, any Enforcement Action, except that Subordinated Creditor may receive and retain Permitted Payments solely to the

	 	d.	contest, protest or object to (or support any other Person contesting) the forbearance by the Administrative Agent or any other Beneficiary from commencing or pursuing any foreclosure action or proceeding or any other

	 	e.	take or receive any Collateral, or any proceeds thereof or payment with respect thereto, in connection with the exercise of any right or enforcement of any remedy (including any right of setoff) with respect to any
Subordinated Indebtedness, any Collateral or in connection with any insurance policy award under a policy of insurance relating to any Collateral (including any mortgagee policy of insurance) or any condemnation award (or deed in lieu of
condemnation) relating to any Collateral; 

  

	 	f.	take (or support any other Person in taking) any action that would, or could reasonably be expected to, hinder, in any manner, any exercise of any rights or remedies of the Beneficiaries under any definitive
documentation entered into by the Credit Parties evidencing Beneficiary Indebtedness, including under the Loan Documents (including any Disposition of Collateral) by foreclosure or otherwise; 

 

	 	g.	contest, protest or object to (or support any other Person in objecting to) the manner in which the Administrative Agent or any other Senior Lender may seek to enforce or collect the Senior Indebtedness or any Liens,
regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any other Senior Lender is, or could be, adverse to the interests of a Subordinated Debt Party, and will not assert (or support any other Person in
asserting), and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or claim the benefit of any marshaling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may be available under applicable
law with respect to the Collateral or any similar rights a junior creditor may have under applicable law; 

  

	 	h.	 attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceeding or otherwise, to challenge or question (or support any other Person in challenging or
questioning) the validity, priority or enforceability of any Senior Indebtedness, the priority, perfection, validity or enforceability of any Lien on the Collateral, or the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, including this
Agreement (and 

  
 15 

	 	
any automatic reinstatement thereof under Section 11.1 below), or the validity or enforceability of the priorities, rights or obligations established by this Agreement;

  

	 	i.	contest, protest or object to (or support any other Person contesting) any Disposition of all or any part of the Collateral, provided that the Liens of Subordinated Debt Parties attach to the net proceeds of the
Disposition with at least the same priority and validity as the Liens held by Subordinated Debt Parties on such Collateral, and the Liens remain subject to the terms of this Agreement; 

 

	 	j.	contest, protest or object to (or support any other Person contesting) any request of the Administrative Agent or the other Senior Lenders for (1) relief from the automatic stay imposed by Section 362 of the
Bankruptcy Code or (2) any request for adequate protection within the meaning of Section 361 of the Bankruptcy Code; 

  

	 	k.	contest, protest or object to (or support any other Person contesting) the payment of Post-Petition Interest, or any fees, costs, charges and expenses to the Administrative Agent or any Senior Lender under

examiner in an Insolvency Proceeding, for the conversion of the case to a liquidation proceeding, for the substantive consolidation of the Credit Party’s bankruptcy case with the case of any other entity, for the creation of a separate official
committee representing only the Subordinated Creditor or the Subordinated Debt Parties, or any other form of affirmative relief of any other kind or nature, or (ii) file any objection or other responsive pleading opposing any relief requested
by any Senior Lender or support any other Person taking any such action; 

  

	 	m.	In any Insolvency Proceeding or other Proceeding of any Credit Party, if any Credit Party shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, move for approval of financing, which for avoidance of doubt, may include a roll-up of the
Senior Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders, which, for avoidance of doubt, may include the Senior Lenders (the “DIP Lenders”), under
Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or the use of cash collateral or the sale of property that constitutes Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or pursuant to any Plan of Reorganization, each Subordinated Creditor agrees that
it will raise no objection to, nor support any Person objecting to, and shall be deemed to have consented to, any such financing or to the Liens on the Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of
cash collateral or sale (whether under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or pursuant to any Plan of Reorganization) of property that constitutes Collateral (including any bid, sale procedure or other orders in respect thereof), unless
Administrative Agent shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral or sale of Collateral (and each Subordinated Debt Party will consent, and is deemed to have consented, to the subordination
of its Liens with respect to such Collateral); 

  
 16 

	 	n.	provide (or support any Person other than a Beneficiary in providing) DIP Financing to any Credit Party secured by Liens equal or senior in priority to the Liens securing any Senior Indebtedness, provided,
however, that if one or more Senior Lenders, on the one hand, and one or more other Beneficiaries, on the other hand, propose to provide competing DIP financings, no Subordinated Debt Party shall support any Beneficiary in providing DIP
Financing, unless all of the applicable Beneficiaries proposing to provide such competing DIP financings so agree, and provided, further if (i) the Senior Lenders are provided reasonable advance notice and opportunity to provide
DIP Financing, but no Senior Lender offers to provide such DIP Financing and (ii) no other Person (other than a Subordinated Debt Party), after having received reasonable advance notice and opportunity to provide DIP Financing, offers to
provide DIP Financing on terms acceptable to the Senior Lenders, in each case on or before the date of any hearing to approve DIP Financing, then one or more Subordinated Debt Parties may seek to provide DIP Financing secured by Liens equal or
senior in priority to the Liens securing any Senior Indebtedness and the Senior Lenders may object to such DIP Financing; 

  

	 	o.	oppose, seek to challenge or support any Person challenging, the Senior Indebtedness, any Lien securing the Senior Indebtedness, or any request for the allowance and payment of Post-Petition Interest and post-petition
fees, costs, charges and expenses; 

  

	 	p.	seek adequate protection, within the meaning of section 361 of the Bankruptcy Code, of any interest in any Collateral, in each case without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, provided, however, that
if in an Insolvency Proceeding Senior Lenders are granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional property as collateral, a Subordinated Debt Party holding a Lien at the time of the filing of such Insolvency Proceeding may seek or
request adequate protection in the form of a junior Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien shall automatically be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, including without limitation, the payment-over provisions herein
contained, and shall be subordinated to the Liens of the Senior Lenders (including adequate protection Liens) and subordinated to any DIP Financing Liens (and all obligations relating thereto), in each case on the same basis as the Subordinated Debt
Party’s other Liens are subordinated herein; 

  

	 	q.	propose, sponsor, support, vote in favor of or agree to (i) any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization or (ii) any Plan of Reorganization, directly or indirectly, that is pursued pursuant to

	 	r.	seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in an Insolvency Proceeding or other Proceeding in respect of Collateral, a Creditor Party or its property. 

5.2 Additional Agreements 
  

	 	a.	At any time prior to the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness, in any Insolvency Proceeding or other Proceeding of any Credit Party or its property: 

 

	 	i.	 the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to file claims and proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated

  
 17 

	 	
Indebtedness, vote any and all such claims in connection with any Plan of Reorganization, and take such other action as Administrative Agent may so elect in its discretion; 

 

	 	ii.	each Subordinated Debt Party hereby grants the Administrative Agent an irrevocable proxy coupled with a pledge to vote or cause to be voted any and all claims of such Subordinated Debt Party arising in connection with
any Plan of Reorganization, in proportion to the Senior Indebtedness on a Pro Rata Basis (or as otherwise agreed by all of the Beneficiaries); 

  

	 	iii.	unless Administrative Agent has invoked its rights under this Section 5.2 or another Beneficiary has invoked any rights it may have to file claims or proofs of claims on account of the Subordinated
Indebtedness in an Insolvency Proceeding or other Proceeding, each Subordinated Debt Party shall timely file a claim or proof of claim or claims or proofs of claim, each in the form required in such Proceedings, for the full outstanding amount of
the Subordinated Indebtedness; 

  

	 	iv.	each Subordinated Debt Party shall cause said claim or proofs of claim, whether filed by such Subordinated Debt Party, the Administrative Agent, or another Beneficiary to be approved by the Beneficiaries, and all
payments and other distributions in respect thereof to be made directly to each of the Administrative Agent (for application to the Senior Indebtedness) and the other Beneficiaries (for application to the applicable Other Senior Indebtedness), on a
Pro Rata Basis; and 

  

	 	v.	Each of the Subordinated Debt Parties agrees that it will support, vote in favor of and agree to any Plan of Reorganization proposed or supported by the Beneficiaries. 

 

	 	b.	Each Subordinated Debt Party shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such further proofs of claim, assignments of claim and other instruments confirming the authorization referred to in the foregoing
clause (a), and any powers of attorney confirming the rights of the Senior Lenders arising thereunder, and shall take such other actions as may be requested by the Senior Lenders or their representative in connection therewith in order to
enable the Senior Lenders or their representative to enforce any and all claims in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness at any time prior to the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness. 

 

	 	c.	Each Subordinated Debt Party hereby irrevocably agrees that the Administrative Agent may, at its sole discretion, in the name of each such Subordinated Debt Party or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect, and receive any
receipt for any and all such payments or distributions which would be required hereunder to be applied to the Senior Indebtedness, and any such receipts shall be distributed to the Administrative Agent (for application to the Senior Indebtedness),
and file, prove and vote or consent in any Proceeding with respect to any and all claims of each of the Subordinated Debt Parties relating to the Subordinated Indebtedness at any time prior to the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness. 

  
 18 

 5.3 Certain Additional Waivers by Subordinated Debt Parties 

Each Subordinated Debt Party waives any claim it or they may hereafter have against any Senior Lender arising out of any action taken
or not taken by Administrative Agent or the other Senior Lenders in an Insolvency Proceeding, including without limitation, (a) the election by any Senior Lender of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, or
any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, or (b) any use of cash collateral or DIP Financing authorized in any Insolvency Proceeding or other Proceeding, or (c) any grant of a security interest, any payment, or award of

Debt Parties from taking any of the following actions: (a) any action to the extent necessary to (i) prevent the running of any applicable statute of limitations or similar restriction on claims, provided that no such action shall be filed
sooner than 90 days before the expiration of any such applicable statute of limitations or similar restriction on claims, or (ii) assert a compulsory cross claim or counterclaim against any Obligor, and (b) any action to seek and obtain
specific performance or injunctive relief to compel an Obligor to comply with (or not violate or breach) any non-payment obligation under any Support Agreement, so long as it is (x) not accompanied by a claim for monetary damages or a request
for payment of any portion of the Subordinated Indebtedness, (y) not an Enforcement Action, and (z) does not seek to initiate an Insolvency Proceeding; provided further, in the case of (a) or (b), such permitted actions shall be

 ARTICLE 6 

ADDITIONAL PAYMENT PROVISIONS; PAYMENT OVER 

6.1 Payment Over

collecting said sums should a Subordinated Debt Party fail to voluntarily turn the same over to the applicable Beneficiary in accordance with this Agreement and upon demand, and (b) hereby appoints the Administrative Agent, and any officer or
agent of the Administrative Agent, with full power of substitution, the attorney-in-fact of each Subordinated Debt Party for the 

  
 19 

 
purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 6.1 for the benefit of the Senior Lenders and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Administrative Agent may
deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 6.1 for the benefit of the Senior Lenders, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

and expenses) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent in enforcing this Agreement, or in endeavoring to collect or realize upon any of the Subordinated Indebtedness or any Collateral, in each case as provided herein, and any balance thereof
shall, solely as between the Subordinated Debt Parties and the Senior Lenders, be applied by the Senior Lenders in such order of application as the Senior Lenders may from time to time elect, toward the payment of the Senior Indebtedness remaining
unpaid. 
 6.3 Payment in Full on Senior Indebtedness 

For purposes of this Agreement, the Senior Indebtedness shall not be deemed to have been paid in full until the Discharge of Senior
Indebtedness shall have occurred. 
 6.4 Legend on Subordinated Debt Instruments 

The Subordinated Creditors shall, substantially simultaneously with the execution and delivery hereof, cause a conspicuous legend to be placed
on each of the instruments evidencing Subordinated Indebtedness to the following effect: 
 “This instrument, the indebtedness evidenced
hereby or any lien or security interest on Collateral securing such indebtedness, is subordinated, in the manner and to the extent set forth in an agreement dated             ,
         (as such agreement may from time to time be amended, restated, modified, or supplemented, the “Subordination Agreement”), by the maker and payee of this instrument in favor of
Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent for the “Lenders” referred to therein, to all Senior Indebtedness as defined therein), and each holder of this instrument, by its acceptance hereof, shall be bound by the
Subordination Agreement.” 
 and upon request by the Administrative Agent deliver a copy of each of the instruments evidencing Subordinated Debt, as so
marked, to the Administrative Agent within 60 days following such request. In the event of any conflict between any instrument evidencing Subordinated Indebtedness and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. 

ARTICLE 7

terms of such Subordinated Indebtedness.  

  
 20 

 ARTICLE 8 

SUBROGATION 
 8.1 Right
of Subrogation and Related Restrictions 
 If a Subordinated Debt Party pays or distributes cash, property, or other assets to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Senior Lenders, the Subordinated Debt Party will be subrogated to the rights of the Administrative Agent and Senior Lenders with respect to the value of the payment or distribution; provided, however, the
Subordinated Debt Party shall not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation or contribution under this Agreement, as a result of any payment made hereunder or otherwise, until this Agreement has ceased to be effective in
accordance with Section 11.1(a). 
 8.2 Transfer by Subrogation 

If (a) the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Senior Lenders receives payment of any of the Subordinated Indebtedness and (b) the
Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has occurred, then the Senior Lenders will each, at the applicable Subordinated Creditor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to the Subordinated Creditor appropriate documents, without recourse and
without representation or warranty (except as to their right to transfer such Senior Indebtedness and related security free of encumbrances created by the Senior Lenders), necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Subordinated
Creditor of an interest in its Senior Indebtedness and any security held therefor resulting from such payment of the Subordinated Indebtedness to the Administrative Agent. 

ARTICLE 9

Except with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders, no Subordinated Debt Party shall:

constituting Senior Indebtedness are not entitled to the benefits of this Agreement; 

  
 21 

	 	b.	agree to any change in, amendment to, waiver of, or departure from, any term of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document including, without limitation, any amendment, renewal or extension of such agreement or

or allow any Obligor, other Credit Party, or any other Person to deal with the property which is subject to such security interests, guaranties or collateral, all as the Senior Lenders may deem appropriate; and/or 

 

	 	h.	abstain from taking, protecting, securing, registering, filing, recording, renewing, perfecting, insuring or realizing upon any security interests, guaranties or collateral for any Senior Indebtedness; and no loss in
respect of any of the security interests or guaranties received or held for and on behalf of the Senior Lenders, whether occasioned by fault, omission or negligence of any kind, whether of the Senior Lenders or otherwise, shall in any way limit or
impair the liability of a Subordinated Debt Party or the rights of the Senior Lenders under this Agreement; 

 all of which may be done
without notice to or consent of a Subordinated Debt Party and without impairing, releasing or otherwise affecting any rights or obligations of any Subordinated Debt Party hereunder or any rights of the Senior Lenders hereunder. 

ARTICLE 10 
 REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES 
 10.1 Representations and Warranties 

Each Subordinated Creditor hereby represents and warrants to the Senior Lenders that: 

 

	 	a.	such Subordinated Creditor is duly incorporated, formed or amalgamated, as the case may be, and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, formation, or amalgamation, as the case may be;

  
 22 

	 	b.	such Subordinated Creditor has all necessary corporate or equivalent power and authority to enter into this Agreement; 

  

	 	c.	such Subordinated Creditor has taken all necessary corporate or equivalent action to authorize the creation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement; 

 

	 	d.	this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of such Subordinated Creditor, enforceable against such Subordinated Creditor in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforcement to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and general equity principles; and 

 

	 	e.	neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor compliance with the terms and conditions hereof (i) will result in a violation of any formation or governance documents of such Subordinated Creditor or any
applicable law, order, judgment, injunction, award or decree; (ii) will result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any loan agreement, indenture, trust deed or any other material agreement or instrument to which such Subordinated
Creditor is a party or by which it or its assets are bound; or (iii) requires any approval or consent of any governmental authority having jurisdiction except such as has already been obtained and is in full force and effect. 

ARTICLE 11 
 CONTINUING
SUBORDINATION 
 11.1 Continuing Subordination; Reinstatement 

This Agreement shall create a continuing subordination and shall: 
  

	 	a.	remain in full force and effect until the earlier of: (i) the Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has occurred, or (ii) 366 days after the Discharge of Subordinated Indebtedness has occurred;
provided, however, that if an Insolvency Proceeding is initiated on or before the date that is 366 days after the Discharge of Subordinated Indebtedness has occurred, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the
Discharge of Senior Indebtedness has occurred and, provided, further, that Section 9.1(b) shall remain in effect until 91 days after such time; 

 

	 	b.	be binding upon each Subordinated Debt Party and its successors and assigns; and 

  

	 	c.	inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Senior Lenders, to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Senior Lenders (through the Administrative Agent), and their successors and permitted assigns for their
benefit and for the benefit of any other Person entitled to the benefit of any Loan Documents from time to time, including any permitted assignee of some or all of the Loan Documents. 

Each Subordinated Debt Party agrees that, following termination hereof, this Subordination Agreement shall be automatically reinstated if for any reason any
payment or transfer made on account of the Senior Indebtedness or Subordinated Indebtedness, as the case may be, is rescinded, avoided or must be 

  
 23 

 
otherwise restored or returned by any Senior Lender or Subordinated Debt Party, as the case may be, whether as a result of any Insolvency Proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise,
in each case retroactive to the date of such payment or transfer. 
 11.2 Other Obligations not Affected 

The subordination provided for herein is in addition to and not in substitution for any other agreement or any other security by whomsoever
given or at any time held by any of the Senior Lenders in respect of the Senior Indebtedness, and the Senior Lenders shall at all times have the right to proceed against or realize upon all or any portion of any other agreement or any security or
any other monies or assets to which the Senior Lenders may become entitled or have a claim in such order and in such manner as the Senior Lenders in their sole discretion may deem appropriate. 

11.3 Acknowledgment of Documentation 

The Subordinated Creditor hereby acknowledges that it is familiar with and understands the terms of the Credit Agreement and all other Loan
Documents. The Subordinated Creditor shall ensure that the Obligor provides such copies as the Subordinated Creditor wishes to receive of all amendments, modifications or supplements to any of the aforementioned documents and of any other documents,
instruments or agreements which are executed in the future pursuant to which Senior Indebtedness may arise. None of the Senior Lenders shall in any manner have any obligation to ensure such receipt nor shall lack of receipt in any way affect the
absolute and unconditional nature of the Subordinated Debt Parties’ obligations hereunder in respect of the Senior Indebtedness thereby created or arising. 

ARTICLE 12 
 NO LIABILITY;
OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE 
 12.1 Information 

Neither Administrative Agent nor any Senior Lender shall have any duty to disclose to any Subordinated Debt Party any information relating to
any Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries, or any other circumstance bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Senior Indebtedness or the Subordinated Indebtedness, as the case may be, that is known or becomes known to any of them or any
of their Affiliates. 
 12.2 No Warranties or Liability. 
  

	 	a.	Each Subordinated Creditor acknowledges and agrees that neither Administrative Agent nor any other Senior Lender has made any express or implied representation or warranty of any kind and no Senior Lender shall have any
express or implied duty to any Subordinated Debt Party. 

  

	 	b.	Each Subordinated Debt Party agrees that no Senior Lender shall have any liability to any Subordinated Debt Party, and hereby waives any claim against any Senior Lender, arising out of any and all actions which the
Administrative Agent or the other Senior Lenders may take or permit or omit to take with respect to (i) the Loan Documents, (ii) the collection of the Senior Indebtedness, (iii) any Lien securing the Senior Indebtedness, or
(iv) the maintenance of, the preservation of, the foreclosure upon or the Disposition of any Collateral, regardless of whether an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced. 

  
 24 

 12.3 Rights of Administrative Agent and Senior Lenders Not Affected 

All rights and interests of the Administrative Agent and the other Senior Lenders under this Agreement, and all agreements and obligations of
the Subordinated Debt Parties, and the Credit Parties under this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of: (a) any lack of collectability, validity or enforceability of all or any portion of this Agreement, the Senior
Indebtedness or any of the Loan Documents due to incapacity, lack of power of authority, discharge or for any reason whatsoever (other than a Discharge of Senior Indebtedness); (b) any change in the amount of interest accruing on, time, manner
or place of payment of, or in any other terms or conditions of, all or any of the Senior Indebtedness, or any other amendment or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, changes in the
terms of disbursement or repayment of any loan proceeds, any modifications, increases, extensions, renewals, rearrangements, restatements, acceleration, settlement or compromise of the Senior Indebtedness or the advancement of additional funds by
the Administrative Agent and the other Senior Lenders in their discretion; (c) the timing, manner and order of application of any payments and credits made by the Administrative Agent and the other Senior Lenders on the Senior Indebtedness;
(d) the Administrative Agent and the other Senior Lenders’ forbearance or agreement to forbear from enforcing any right or remedy related to the Senior Indebtedness, including rights and remedies against any obligor on the Senior
Indebtedness; (e) any exchange of Collateral, release or non-perfection of any Lien, subordination of any Lien, or any release of any obligor on the Senior Indebtedness or any release, amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from or
indulgence with respect to, any Loan Documents, for all or any of the Senior Indebtedness; (f) any future law, regulation, or order of any governmental authority (whether of right or in fact) purporting to affect any term or provision of the
Senior Indebtedness or the Loan Documents; (g) any setoff, defense or counterclaim whatsoever (in any case, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory) or any other circumstance in respect of this Agreement, the Senior Indebtedness or
any Loan Documents that might otherwise constitute a defense available to the Subordinated Creditor, the Subordinated Debt Parties, any Credit Party or any other obligor of the Senior Indebtedness, or a discharge of the Senior Indebtedness, any
Credit Party or any Senior Indebtedness (other than a Discharge of Senior Indebtedness); or (h) any action taken or refrained from taking by the Administrative Agent and the other Senior Lenders regarding the Senior Indebtedness that the
Administrative Agent and the Senior Lenders deem appropriate. 
 ARTICLE 13 

GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 13.1
Notices 
 All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be given in the form and manner prescribed by
Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement. Until otherwise notified by EEP, all such notices to any Subordinated Creditor may be given to EEP on behalf of all such Subordinated Creditors, at the “Address for Notices” following the
signature block of EEP, and shall be sufficiently delivered to all Subordinated Creditors if so given. 
 13.2 Amendments and Waivers

  

	 	a.	No provision of this Agreement may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated orally nor may any breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement be waived or discharged orally, and any such amendment, waiver,
discharge or termination may only be made in writing signed by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the requisite Senior Lenders, or by the Senior Lenders, and if such amendment is intended to bind the Subordinated Creditor, by the Subordinated
Creditor. 

  
 25 

	 	b.	No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof unless specifically waived in writing, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 

 

	 	c.	Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given and shall not in any way be
or be construed as a waiver of any future requirement. 

  

	 	d.	In addition, no term or provision of any in-effect subordination agreement (including, without limitation, the NPA Subordination Agreement) that is executed by a Subordinated Debt Party in favor of a Beneficiary (which
relates to the Subordinated Indebtedness as the Indebtedness subordinated thereunder to the Beneficiary Indebtedness therein designated as “senior indebtedness”) may be amended, waived, supplemented or otherwise modified without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent if such amendment, waiver, supplement or other modification (i) provides, or proposes, any term or provision more advantageous to holders of such Beneficiary Indebtedness than those provided to
Administrative Agent and the other Senior Lenders under this Agreement (which such consent, in the case of this clause (i), shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) or (ii) adversely affects the Administrative Agent or any
other Senior Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, any termination of any such other subordination agreement shall not require the consent of the Administrative Agent. 

13.3 Assignment by Lenders 
  

	 	a.	Each Subordinated Debt Party acknowledges and agrees that each of the Senior Lenders shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, to assign, sell, participate or otherwise transfer all or any
portion of its rights and benefits under the Loan Documents, and in connection therewith, this Agreement, or both, and any Lien without the consent of the Subordinated Debt Parties. This Agreement shall extend to and inure to the benefit of each of
the Senior Lenders and their respective successors and assigns permitted pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. 

  

	 	b.	Notwithstanding any provision herein or referred to herein, nothing shall prohibit or otherwise restrict the Senior Lenders from assigning all, but not part, of the Senior Indebtedness to any one or more Affiliates of
any Borrower. 

 13.4 Effectiveness in Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings 

This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding notwithstanding Section 1129(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, and is intended to be and shall be interpreted to be enforceable against the
parties hereto including 

  
 26 

 
each Credit Party to the maximum extent permitted pursuant to applicable law. All references in this Agreement to any Obligor or other Credit Party shall include such Person as a
debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person in any Insolvency Proceeding. 
 13.5 Assignment and Certain Other
Actions by Subordinated Creditor 
 Until Discharge of the Senior Indebtedness, no Subordinated Debt Party shall (a) accelerate the
maturity of the Subordinated Indebtedness to a date that is earlier than six (6) months after the last occurring Scheduled Maturity Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement); (b) take any guarantee for any Subordinated Indebtedness from a
Person unless contemporaneously therewith a guaranty by such Person shall be entered into in respect of the Senior Indebtedness and such Person shall be deemed a Credit Party hereunder; or (c) sell, assign, transfer, endorse, pledge, encumber
or otherwise dispose of any of the Subordinated Indebtedness, unless the Subordinated Creditor gives the Administrative Agent written notice thereof and such sale, transfer, endorsement, pledge, encumbrance or other disposition is to an Affiliate of
any Obligor and is made expressly subject to this Subordination Agreement. If any Subordinated Debt Party takes a guarantee for any Subordinated Indebtedness, all obligations under such guarantee shall constitute Subordinated Indebtedness herein and
such guaranty (and any recoveries thereon) shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement, including the payment over provisions contained herein. 

13.6 Further Assurances 

Each Subordinated Creditor shall, at the request of the Senior Lenders but at the expense of the Subordinated Creditors, do all such further
acts and things and execute and deliver all such further documents as the Administrative Agent or the Senior Lenders may reasonably require in order to fully perform and carry out the terms of this Agreement. 

13.7 Counterparts 
 This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 

13.8 Specific Performance 

Each party to this Agreement may demand specific performance of this Agreement and each party hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on
the adequacy of a remedy at law and any other defense that might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any action which may be brought by any other party to this Agreement. 

13.9 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury 

EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW
EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY
TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. 

  
 27 

 13.10 Obligor Acknowledgment 

Each Obligor hereby acknowledges and agrees to the terms of this Agreement, and covenants not to participate in any violation thereof. 

13.11 Beneficiaries 
 The
provisions of this Agreement define the relative rights solely of the Subordinated Creditors and the Senior Lenders, and nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Borrowers or any other Credit Party,
which are unconditional and absolute, to pay the Senior Indebtedness and the Subordinated Indebtedness as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their respective terms, or to affect the relative rights of creditors of the
Borrowers or any other Credit Parties other than the relative rights of the Senior Lenders and the Subordinated Creditors or the Liens created in favor of the Senior Lenders and the Subordinated Creditors, respectively. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, it is specifically understood and agreed that no Person (including any Beneficiary other than the Administrative Agent and the Senior Lenders) is a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, and in furtherance (but not
in limitation) thereof (i) no trustee in any Insolvency Proceeding for or affecting, or unsecured creditor of, any Credit Party will have or acquire or be entitled to exercise any rights of any Senior Lender or Subordinated Creditor under this
Agreement under any legal or equitable basis, theories or circumstances and (ii) the provisions of this Agreement are not for the benefit of, and may not be enforced by, any Credit Party or any other obligor of the Senior Indebtedness or the
Subordinated Indebtedness, or any creditor of a Credit Party or such obligors (except the Senior Lenders and the Subordinated Creditors as herein provided). 

13.12 Conflict with Collateral Agreements 

To the extent there is any conflict or inconsistency among the terms hereof and the terms of any Collateral Agreement, the terms of such
Collateral Agreement shall control. 
 13.13 Amendment and Restatement 

This Agreement hereby amends and restates the Original Subordination Agreement in its entirety. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day
and year first above written.
