 ARTICLE II 
 REGISTRATION RIGHTS 
 2.1 Demand Registration Rights. 
 (a) Right to Demand Registration of Registrable Securities. Subject to the conditions of this Section 2.1, if Nasdaq shall receive a written
request from one or more Borse Dubai Holders and/or Trust Holders (the “Initiating Holders”), that Nasdaq file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of Registrable Securities having a value
(based on the average closing sale price per share of Common Stock for 10 trading days preceding the registration request) of not less than $50,000,000 (or, if less, all of the Registrable Securities then held by such requesting Holders), then
Nasdaq shall, within five (5) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Holders, who must respond in writing within fifteen (15) days requesting inclusion in such registration of such Holders’ Registrable
Securities of the same type or types that are being registered by the Initiating Holders. Each request must specify the amount and intended manner of disposition of such Registrable Securities. Nasdaq, subject to the limitations of this
Section 2.1, must use its reasonable best efforts to effect, as soon as reasonably practicable, the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be registered in accordance with this
Section 2.1 together with any other securities of Nasdaq entitled to inclusion in such registration; provided, however, that Nasdaq shall not be required to file a registration statement in connection with a written request
pursuant to this paragraph (a) prior to the date which is sixty (60) days before the Registration Date. To the extent that Nasdaq has registered Registrable Securities on a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.1(b) on
behalf of any Initiating Holders, and any such Registrable Securities remain unsold at the time the Initiating Holders make a demand pursuant to this Section 2.1(a), the Initiating Holders shall be responsible to fund any registration fee
pursuant to such demand in respect of the number of such unsold Registrable Securities under such Shelf Registration Statement. 
 (b)
Shelf Registration Statement. If a written request made by the Initiating Holders under Section 2.1(a) hereof specifies that the intended manner of disposition of Registrable Securities is to be made by means of a shelf registration
providing for resales of such Registrable Securities, Nasdaq shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect, as soon as reasonably practicable, the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be
so registered in accordance with Section 2.1(a) pursuant to a registration statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 (or successor provision) under the Securities Act (together with any amendments thereto,
and including any documents incorporated by reference therein, the “Shelf Registration Statement”), which Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for resales of such Registrable Securities (which shall be an Automatic Shelf
Registration Statement if Nasdaq is a WKSI at the time of such filing). 
  

 5 

 (c) Underwritten Offerings. If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable
Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise Nasdaq as a part of their request made pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof and Nasdaq shall include such information in the written notice referred to in such
Section 2.1(a). In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s
Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or
underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders (which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to Nasdaq) and complete and execute all questionnaires, powers of attorney and other
documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting agreement and these registration rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.1, if the managing underwriter advises Nasdaq in writing that, in its opinion,
marketing factors require a limitation of the amount of securities to be underwritten (including Registrable Securities) because the amount of securities to be underwritten is likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or the distribution
of the securities to be offered, then Nasdaq shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the amount of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be
allocated as follows (i) first, to the extent any securities are requested to be included in such registration pursuant to Section 2.3 of the 2005 Registration Rights Agreement by the H&F Holders or the SLP Holders, the amount of such
securities requested by the H&F Holders or the SLP Holders, allocated in accordance with the 2005 Registration Rights Agreement, that can, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, be sold without having the adverse effect referred to above,
(ii) second, among the Initiating Holders as nearly as possible on a pro rata basis based on the total amount of Registrable Securities (on an as converted basis) held by such Initiating Holders requested to be included in such underwriting
that can, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, be sold without having the adverse effect referred to above and (iii) third, to the extent all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such underwriting by the Initiating Holders
have been included, among the Holders (other than the Initiating Holders) requesting inclusion of Registrable Securities in such underwritten offering, as nearly as possible on a pro rata basis based on the total amount of Registrable Securities (on
an as converted basis) held by such Holders requested to be included in such underwriting. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration. 
 (d) Underwritten Shelf Take-Downs. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1(c) hereof, if a Shelf Registration Statement has become
effective in accordance with Section 2.1(b) hereof and any Borse Dubai Holder or Trust Holder (the “Initiating Shelf Holders”) of Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement advises Nasdaq in writing
that it intends to sell its Registrable Securities pursuant to an underwritten “take-down” under such Shelf Registration Statement which could involve a customary “road show” (a “Marketed Take-down”), then Nasdaq
shall, within five (5) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such intention to all Holders of Registrable Securities under such Shelf Registration Statement, who must respond in writing within fifteen (15) days requesting

  

 6 

 
inclusion of such Holders’ Registrable Securities in such Marketed Take-down. In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable
Securities in such Marketed Take-down shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such Marketed Take-down and inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the Marketed Take-down to the extent provided herein. All
Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the Initiating
Holders (which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to Nasdaq). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.1, if the managing underwriter advises Nasdaq in writing that, in its opinion, marketing factors require
a limitation of the amount of securities to be underwritten (including Registrable Securities) because the amount of securities to be underwritten is likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or the distribution of the securities to be
offered, then Nasdaq shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the amount of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated as follows
(i) first, to the extent any securities are requested to be included in such registration pursuant to Section 2.3 of the 2005 Registration Rights Agreement by the H&F Holders or the SLP Holders, the amount of such securities requested
by the H&F Holders or the SLP Holders, allocated in accordance with the 2005 Registration Rights Agreement, that can, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, be sold without having the adverse effect referred to above, (ii) second,
among the Initiating Shelf Holders as nearly as possible on a pro rata basis based on the total amount of Registrable Securities (on an as converted basis) held by such Initiating Shelf Holders requested to be included in such underwriting that can,
in the opinion of such managing underwriter, be sold without having the adverse effect referred to above and (iii) third, to the extent all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such underwriting by the Initiating Shelf Holders
have been included, among the Holders (other than the Initiating Holders) requesting inclusion of Registrable Securities in such underwritten offering, as nearly as possible on a pro rata basis based on the total amount of Registrable Securities (on
an as converted basis) held by such Holders requested to be included in such underwriting. For avoidance of doubt, if any Holder desires to sell its Registrable Securities pursuant to an underwritten “take-down” under the Shelf
Registration Statement which does not involve a customary “road show”, then the other Holders will not have the right to participate in such underwritten “take-down”. 
 (e) Registration Limits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Nasdaq shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1:

 (i) that will become effective prior to the Registration Date; 
 (ii) in the case of (A) a registration requested by the Borse Dubai Holders pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof, after Nasdaq has effected a
total of six (6) registrations requested by any of the Borse Dubai Holders pursuant to such Section and (B) a registration requested by the Trust Holders pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof, after Nasdaq has effected a total of three
(3) registrations requested by any of the Trust Holders pursuant to such Section; provided, however, that a registration request involving an underwritten offering will not count as a requested registration under this clause
(ii) unless the Holder making such request is able, after giving effect to any underwriting cutbacks contemplated by Section 2.1(c) or (d) hereof, to register at least 75% of the amount of Registrable Securities originally requested
by 

  

 7 

 
such Holder to be included in such registration; provided further, however, that if the Borse Dubai Holders and the Trust Holders
jointly request a registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof, then, for purposes of this clause (ii), whichever of either the Borse Dubai Holders (as a group) or the Trust Holders (as a group) is able to register and sell more Registrable
Securities pursuant to such request shall be deemed solely to have made such request; and provided still further, however that any Marketed Take-down other than the first such Marketed Take-down requested by a Borse Dubai
Holder or Trust Holder under any Shelf Registration Statement which has been effected pursuant to the request of such Holder shall be deemed to be a requested registration by such Holder for purposes of this clause (ii); 
 (iii) within 90 days of the effective date of any other registration statement filed by Nasdaq pursuant to the Securities Act in connection with Nasdaq
making a primary offering of its securities, excluding registration statements filed on From S-4 or S-8 (or any substitute form that may be adopted by the SEC); 
 (iv) if Nasdaq shall furnish to Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.1, a certificate signed by the Chairman, President or a Vice President of Nasdaq stating that in the good
faith judgment of Nasdaq’s Board of Directors the filing or effectiveness of such registration statement would materially interfere with any proposed acquisition, disposition, financing or other material transaction involving Nasdaq or its
subsidiaries, in which event Nasdaq shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than sixty (60) days in any 90-day period after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided that Nasdaq shall not defer
filings pursuant to this clause (iv) more than an aggregate of one hundred and twenty (120) days in any twelve (12) month period; or 
 (v) requested by either the Borse Dubai Holders or the Trust Holders if in the prior six (6) months Nasdaq has effected a registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 at the request of either the Borse Dubai
Holders or the Trust Holders. 
 2.2 Piggyback Rights. If Nasdaq at any time after the Registration Date hereof proposes to
register its Common Stock (or any security which is convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock) under the Securities Act (other than a registration on Form S-4 or S-8, or any successor or other forms promulgated for similar
purposes), whether or not for sale for its own account, it will, at each such time, give prompt written notice to all Holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to do so and of such Holders’ rights under this Article II. Upon the
written request of any such Holder made within twenty (20) days after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder), Nasdaq will, as expeditiously as reasonably
practicable, use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities (in the form of Common Stock) which Nasdaq has been so requested to register by the Holders thereof, to the extent
requisite to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be registered; provided that (i) if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the registration
statement filed in connection with such registration, Nasdaq shall determine for any reason not to proceed with the proposed registration of the securities to be sold by it, Nasdaq may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to
each Holder of Registrable Securities and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not 

  

 8 

 
from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith), and (ii) if such registration involves an underwritten offering, all
Holders of Registrable Securities requesting to be included in Nasdaq’s registration must sell their Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected by Nasdaq on the same terms and conditions as apply to Nasdaq, with such differences,
including any with respect to indemnification, as may be customary or appropriate in combined primary and secondary offerings. If a registration requested pursuant to this Section 2.2 involves an underwritten public offering, any Holder of
Registrable Securities requesting to be included in such registration may elect, in writing prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, not to register such securities in connection with such
registration. 
 2.3 Priority in Piggyback Registrations. If a registration pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof involves an
underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises Nasdaq in writing that, in its opinion, marketing factors require a limitation of the amount of securities to be underwritten (including Registrable Securities) because the amount of
securities to be underwritten is likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities to be offered, in such offering as contemplated by Nasdaq (other than the Registrable Securities), then, (i) in the case
such registration is being made pursuant to the registration demand rights under Section 2.1 of the 2005 Registration Rights Agreement as in effect on the date of this Registration Rights Agreement (but without giving effect to any amendment,
supplement or other modification of such agreement after the date hereof), Nasdaq will include in such registration (A) first, 100% of the securities the H&F Holders or SLP Holders propose to sell and (B) second, to the extent that the
amount of securities requested to be involved in such registration pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof can, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, be sold without having the materially adverse effect referred to above, the amount of
Registrable Securities (on an as converted basis) which the Holders have requested to be included in such registration and the securities to be offered by Nasdaq, if any, such amount to be allocated pro rata among all requesting Holders and Nasdaq
on the basis of the amount of securities requested by such Holders and Nasdaq in such registration, and (ii) otherwise (A) first, 100% of the securities Nasdaq proposes to sell, (B) second, to the extent that the amount of securities
requested to be included in such registration pursuant to Section 2.3 of the 2005 Registration Rights Agreement by the H&F Holders or the SLP Holders can, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, be sold without having the materially
adverse effect referred to above, the amount of such securities requested by the H&F Holders or the SLP Holders, allocated in accordance with the 2005 Registration Rights Agreement, (C) third, to the extent that the amount of Registrable
Securities requested to be included in such registration pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof can, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, be sold without having the materially adverse effect referred to above, the amount of Registrable
Securities which the Holders have requested to be included in such registration, such amount to be allocated pro rata among all requesting Holders on the basis of the amount of Registrable Securities then held by each such requesting Holder
(provided that any amount thereby allocated to any such Holder that exceed such Holder’s request will be reallocated among the remaining requesting holders in like manner) and (D) fourth, to the extent that the amount of securities
requested to be included in such registration can, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, be sold without having the materially adverse effect referred to above, the amount of securities held by any other Person which have the right to be
included in such registration. 
  

 9 

 2.4 Expenses. Nasdaq will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each
registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Article II. 
 2.5 Registration Form. Nasdaq shall select the
registration statement form for any registration pursuant to Section 2.1, but shall cooperate with the requests of the Initiating Holders or managing underwriters selected by them as to the inclusion therein of information not specifically
required by such form. 
 2.6 Additional Rights. If Nasdaq at any time after the date hereof grants to any other holders of
Common Stock or securities of Nasdaq convertible into Common Stock any rights to request Nasdaq to effect the registration under the Securities Act of any such shares of Common Stock on terms more favorable to such holders than the terms set forth
in this Article II, the terms of this Article II shall be deemed amended or supplemented to the extent necessary to provide the Holders such more favorable rights and benefits. 
 2.7 Rights of Transferee Under NASDAQ Stock Charge. If, subsequent to the filing of any registration statement by Nasdaq pursuant to the
terms of this Article II, any Person or Persons shall become a Holder (directly by way of a transfer by Borse Dubai or HSBC) in connection with the exercise by HSBC of its rights and remedies under the Nasdaq Share Charge, Nasdaq agrees that it
shall take all measures necessary either to amend the registration statement (including, if such registration statement has been declared effective and if necessary, by way of a post-effective amendment to such registration statement) or if
necessary and applicable, a prospectus supplement, in either case to name any such Holder as a selling shareholder under such registration statement, and any such Holder shall benefit from the rights afforded by Section 2.4 in connection with
any such amendment. The undertakings by Nasdaq under this Section 2.7 shall be enforceable and exercisable irrespective of any limitation imposed by Sections 2.1(e)(ii) through (v). 
 ARTICLE III 
 REGISTRATION PROCEDURES 
 3.1 Registration Procedures. If and whenever Nasdaq is required to use its reasonable best efforts to effect or cause the registration of
any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in this Registration Rights Agreement, Nasdaq will, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable: 
 (a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, provided,
however, that Nasdaq may discontinue any registration of its securities which is being effected pursuant to Section 2.2 at any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating thereto; 
 (b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may
be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period (A) in the case such registration statement is a Shelf Registration Statement, ending on the date that the securities registered under such Shelf Registration Statement
cease being Registrable Securities, and (B) in the case of all other 

  

 10 

 
registration statements, not in excess of 180 days, and, in each case, to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations of the SEC thereunder with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in
such registration statement; provided that before filing a registration statement or prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, Nasdaq will furnish to each counsel selected pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof by the Holders of the
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to represent such Holders and use all reasonable efforts to take into account and, if appropriate, reflect in such registration statement or amendment thereto such comments as the Holders
and their counsel may reasonably request; and provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Nasdaq may suspend the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement by written notice to the Holders of Registrable Securities
subject to such Shelf Registration Statement for a period not to exceed an aggregate of sixty (60) days in any 90-day period and not to exceed an aggregate of one hundred and twenty (120) days in any twelve (12) month period if:

 (i) an event occurs and is continuing as a result of which the Shelf Registration Statement would, in Nasdaq’s reasonable judgment,
contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and 
 (ii) Nasdaq reasonably determines that the disclosure of such event at such time would materially interfere with any proposed acquisition, disposition,
financing or other material transaction involving Nasdaq or its subsidiaries; 
 (c) furnish to each seller of such Registrable Securities
such number of copies of such registration statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto, such number of copies of the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary and final prospectus and supplement
thereto), in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities by such seller; 
 (d) use its reasonable best efforts to (A) register or qualify such Registrable Securities covered by such registration in such jurisdictions as
each seller shall reasonably request and to keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as such registration statement remains in effect, and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to
enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller, and (B) use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be
registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; provided, however, that Nasdaq
shall not for any such purpose be required to (I) qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where, but for the requirements of this Section 3.1(d), it would not be obligated to be so qualified, (II)
subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction other than with respect to the registration of securities or (III) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction; 
  

 11 

 (e) notify each seller of any such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, at any
time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act within the appropriate period mentioned in Section 3.1(b) hereof, of Nasdaq’s becoming aware that the prospectus included in such registration
statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing,
and at the request of any such seller, prepare as promptly as reasonably practical a post-effective amendment to such registration statement and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of an amended or supplemental prospectus as may be
necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing; 
 (f) use its reasonable best efforts to comply with
all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable after the effective date of the registration statement, an earnings statement which shall satisfy the provisions of
Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; 
 (g) enter into and perform such customary
agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form), which may include indemnification provisions in favor of underwriters and other persons in addition to, or in substitution for the provisions of Article IV hereof, and take such
other actions as sellers of a majority of shares of such Registrable Securities or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; 
 (h) obtain a “cold comfort” letter or letters from Nasdaq’s independent public accounts in customary form and covering matters of the type
customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the seller or sellers of a majority of shares of such Registrable Securities (on an as converted basis) or managing underwriter or agent shall reasonably request; 
 (i) make available for inspection by any seller of such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, by any underwriter participating
in any disposition to be effected pursuant to such registration statement and by any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or any such underwriter, all pertinent financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents
and properties of Nasdaq, and cause all of Nasdaq’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement;

 (j) notify counsel (selected pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof) for the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration
statement and the managing underwriter or agent, as promptly as possible, and confirm the notice in writing (A) when the registration statement, or any post-effective amendment to the registration statement, shall have become effective, or any
supplement to the prospectus or any amendment prospectus shall have been filed, (B) of the receipt of any comments from the SEC, (C) of any request of the SEC to amend the registration statement or amend or supplement the prospectus or for
additional information 

  

 12 

 
and (D) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or of any order preventing or suspending
the use of any preliminary prospectus, or of the suspension of the qualification of the registration statement for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the institution or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes; 
 (k) make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or of any order
preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment; 
 (l) if requested by the managing underwriter or agent or any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement, promptly incorporate
in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter or agent or such Holder reasonably requests to be included therein and to which Nasdaq does not reasonably object, including, without limitation,
with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold by such Holder to such underwriter or agent, the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriter or agent and with respect to any other terms of the underwritten offering of the
Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after being notified of the matters incorporated in such prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment; 
 (m) cooperate with the Holders of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement and the managing
underwriter or agent, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing securities to be sold under the registration statement, and enable such securities to be in such
denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or agent, if any, or such Holders may request; 
 (n) obtain for
delivery to the Holders of Registrable Securities being registered and to the underwriters or agents an opinion or opinions from counsel for Nasdaq in customary form and in form, substance and scope reasonably satisfactory to such Holders,
underwriters or agents and their counsel; 
 (o) cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities and each underwriter or agent
participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the FINRA; and 
 (p) if requested by the underwriters, prepare and present to potential investors customary “road show” or marketing materials in a manner consistent with other new issuances of other securities similar to
the Registrable Securities. 
 Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees as a condition to the registration of such Holder’s
Registrable Securities as provided herein to furnish Nasdaq with such information regarding such seller and pertinent to the disclosure requirements relating to the registration and the distribution of such securities as Nasdaq may from time to time
reasonably request in writing. 
  

 13 

 Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from Nasdaq of the
happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3.1(e) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until such
Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3.1(e) hereof, and, if so directed by Nasdaq, such Holder will deliver to Nasdaq (at Nasdaq’s expense) all copies, other than permanent
file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event Nasdaq shall give any such notice, the period mentioned in Section 3.1(b)
hereof shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 3.1(e) hereof and including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3.1(e) hereof. 
 3.2 Restrictions on Public Sale by Nasdaq. Nasdaq agrees (i) not to effect any public sale or distribution of any securities similar to those being registered in accordance with Section 2.1(c) or Section 2.1(d),
or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during such period as the lead underwriter may reasonably request, no greater than ninety (90) days, beginning on, the effective date of any registration
statement relating to an offering under Section 2.1(c) or the pricing of an offering under Section 2.1(d) (except as part of such registration statement and except pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor or similar
form thereto), and (ii) that any agreement entered into after the date of this Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which Nasdaq issues or agrees to issue any privately placed securities shall contain a provision under which holders of
such securities agree not to effect any sale or distribution of such securities and not to effect any sale or distribution of such securities during the periods described in (i) above, in each case including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 (except
as part of any such registration, if permitted). 
 ARTICLE IV 
 INDEMNIFICATION 
 4.1 Indemnification by Nasdaq. In the event of
any registration of any securities of Nasdaq under the Securities Act pursuant to Article II hereof, Nasdaq will, and it hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the seller of any Registrable Securities covered by
such registration statement, each affiliate of such seller and their respective trustees, directors and officers or general and limited partners (including any director, officer, affiliate, employee, representative, agent and controlling Person of
any of the foregoing), each other Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities and each other Person, if any, who controls such seller or any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act
(collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), against any and all Actions (whether or not an Indemnified Party is a party thereto), losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorney’s fees and reasonable expenses of investigation) to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or
actions or proceedings in respect thereof, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto) arise out of, relate to or are based upon (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any
registration statement under which such securities 

  

 14 

 
were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary, final or supplemental prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or
(b) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not
misleading, and Nasdaq will reimburse such Indemnified Party for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding; provided
that Nasdaq shall not be liable to any Indemnified Party in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement or amendment or supplement thereto or in any such preliminary, final or supplemental prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to Nasdaq through an instrument duly executed by such seller specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of
such seller or any Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such seller. 
 4.2 Indemnification by the
Seller. Nasdaq may require, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed in accordance with Article II hereof, that Nasdaq shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from
the prospective seller of such Registrable Securities or any underwriter to indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 4.1) Nasdaq, its officers, directors and agents and all other prospective
sellers with respect to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from such registration statement, any preliminary, final or supplemental prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement, if
such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Nasdaq through an instrument duly executed by such seller or underwriter specifically
stating that it is for use in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary, final or supplemental prospectus or amendment or supplement, or a document incorporated by reference into any of the foregoing. Such indemnity shall remain in
full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Nasdaq or any of the prospective sellers, or any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers or controlling Persons and shall survive the transfer of such
securities by such seller. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder of Registrable Securities hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the gross proceeds after underwriting discounts and commissions, but before expenses,
received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. 
 4.3 Notices of
Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party hereunder of written notice of the commencement of any Action with respect to which a claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to this Article IV, such Indemnified Party will,
if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such Action; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein
(i) shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article IV, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice, and (ii) shall not, in any event, relieve the
indemnifying party from any obligations which it may have to any Indemnified Party other than the indemnification obligation 

  

 15 

 
provided in Sections 4.1 and 4.2. In case any such Action is brought against an Indemnified Party, unless in such Indemnified Party’s reasonable
judgment a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such Action, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof (at its expense), jointly with
any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the
defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No
indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or settle any Action which (i) does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in
respect of such Action and (ii) does not involve the imposition of equitable remedies or of any obligations on such Indemnified Party and does not otherwise adversely affect such Indemnified Party, other than as a result of the imposition of
financial obligations for such Indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder. 
 4.4 Contribution. 
 (a) If the indemnification provided for in this Article IV from the indemnifying party is unavailable to or insufficient to fully hold harmless an
Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any Action, losses, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Party as a result of such Action, losses, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and such Indemnified Party in connection with the actions which
resulted in such Action losses, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and such Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or
Indemnified Parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party under this Section 4.4 as a result of the Action, losses,
damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. 
 (b) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 4.4(a) hereof. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
 4.5 Other
Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified in the preceding provisions of this Article IV (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by Nasdaq and each seller of Registrable Securities with respect to any required
registration or other qualification of securities under any federal or state law or regulation or governmental authority other than the Securities Act. 
  

 16 

 4.6 Non-Exclusivity. The obligations of the Parties under this Article IV shall be in
addition to any liability which any Party may otherwise have to any other Party. 
 ARTICLE V 
 RULE 144 
 5.1 Rule 144.
Nasdaq covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (or, if Nasdaq is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder, make publicly available such
information), and it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the
limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Holder of
Registrable Securities, Nasdaq will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. 
 ARTICLE VI 
 SELECTION OF COUNSEL 
 6.1 Selection of Counsel. In connection with any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Article II hereof, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities (on as an converted basis)
covered by any such registration may select one counsel to represent all Holders of Registrable Securities covered by such registration; provided, however, that in the event that the counsel selected as provided above is also acting as
counsel to Nasdaq in connection with such registration, the remaining Holders shall be entitled to select one additional counsel to represent all such remaining Holders. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 7.1 Amendments; Waivers. 
 (a)
No failure or delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right, power or privilege. 
 (b) Any provision of this Registration Rights Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if,
such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed by all Parties. 
 7.2 Successors and Assigns. 
 (a) All the terms and provisions of this Registration Rights Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties
and the successors 

  

 17 

 
and assigns of each Party, whether so expressed or not. None of the Parties may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, by
operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void; provided, however, that all or any portion of the rights of each
Holder under this Registration Rights Agreement are transferable to each transferee of such Holder to whom the transferor transfers Registrable Securities and each transferee of such Holder agrees to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and
provisions required by this Registration Rights Agreement. 
 7.3 Confidentiality of Records. Each of the Parties shall, and
shall cause its Affiliates to, keep confidential, disclose only to its Affiliates or Representatives and use only in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Registration Rights Agreement all information and data obtained by them from
the other Party or its Affiliates or Representatives relating to such other Party or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than information or data that (i) is or becomes available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this
Section, (ii) was available on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to or by one Party to another, or (iii) becomes available to one Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the other Party, provided that such
source is not known by the receiving Party, after reasonable inquiry, to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with either of the non-receiving Parties or their Representatives and is not otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to
the receiving Party by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation), unless disclosure of such information or data is required by applicable law, regulation or stock exchange listing standard or is requested by an Authority.

 7.5 Headings. The headings in this Registration Rights Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and will not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provisions hereof. 
 7.6 Severability. The
invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Registration Rights Agreement in any jurisdiction will not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of this Registration Rights Agreement in such jurisdiction or the
validity, legality or enforceability of this Registration Rights Agreement, including any such provision, in any other jurisdiction, it being intended that all rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder will be enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law. 
 7.7 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Registration Rights Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts (including by facsimile), each of which will be an original with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Registration Rights Agreement shall become effective when each Party
shall have received counterparts hereof signed by all of the other Parties. 
 7.8 New York Law. The enforceability and
validity of this Registration Rights Agreement, the construction of its terms and the interpretation of the rights and duties of the Parties shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of law principles thereof
that would mandate the application of laws of another jurisdiction. 
 7.9 Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Waiver of Jury
Trial. 
 (a) Each of the Parties unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts located in New York, New York for any suit, action or Proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Registration Rights Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby and hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and agrees not to assert any objection, whether as a defense or otherwise, which such Party may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such
suit, action or Proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or Proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum or that such suit, action or Proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable
in such courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Registration Rights Agreement may not be enforced by in or by such courts. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any such suit, action or Proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction in which a Party may be found or may have assets by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable law, and agrees to the fullest extent permitted by law to consent to the
enforcement of any such judgment and not to oppose such enforcement or to seek review on the merits of any such judgment in any such jurisdiction. 
 (b) Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably consent to the service of process outside the territorial jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, Proceeding or action by giving copies thereof by hand-delivery of air courier to the address of
such Party specified in Section 7.4 and such service of process shall be deemed effective service of process on such Party. However, the foregoing shall not limit the right of any Party to effect service of process on the other Parties by any
other legally available method. 
  

 20 

 (c) To the extent that any Party hereto (including assignees of any Party’s rights or obligations
under this Registration Rights Agreement) may be entitled, in any jurisdiction, to claim for itself or its revenues, assets or properties, sovereign immunity from service of process, from suit, from the jurisdiction of any court or arbitral
tribunal, from attachment prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution or enforcement of a judgment (interlocutory or final), or from any other legal process, and to the extent that, in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed such a
sovereign immunity (whether claimed or not), each Party hereto hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim, and hereby irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, such sovereign immunity. 
 (d) EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 
 7.10 Specific Performance. The parties hereby
acknowledge and agree that the failure of any Party to perform its agreements and covenants hereunder, including its failure to take all actions as are necessary on its part to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will cause
irreparable injury to the other Parties, for which damages, even if available, will not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each Party hereby consents to the issuance of injunctive relief by any court of competent jurisdiction to compel performance
of such Party’s obligations, to prevent breaches of this Registration Rights Agreement by such Party and to the granting by any court of the remedy of specific performance of such Party’s obligations hereunder, without bond or other
security being required, in addition to any other remedy to which any Party is entitled at law or in equity. Each Party irrevocably waives any defenses based on adequacy of any other remedy, whether at law or in equity, that might be asserted as a
bar to the remedy of specific performance of any of the terms or provisions hereof or injunctive relief in any action brought therefor by any Party. 
 7.11 Interpretation. 
 (a) The words “hereof,” “herein” and
“herewith” and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Registration Rights Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Registration Rights Agreement, and article, section,
paragraph, exhibit and schedule references are to the articles, sections, paragraphs, exhibits and schedules of this Registration Rights Agreement unless otherwise specified. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or

herein), (b) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns, (c) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be

the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application
thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change or election shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in
accordance herewith. 
 SECTION 1.05 Pro Forma Calculations. For purposes of any determination of the Interest Coverage Ratio or
Leverage Ratio pursuant to Section 2.11, Section 2.20 or any covenant set forth in Article VI for any period during which any Permitted Acquisition, OMX Acquisition, PHLX Acquisition, BSX Acquisition, Nord Pool Acquisition or any
sale, transfer or other disposition of any material assets outside the ordinary course of business occurs (or has occurred since the last day of such period), the calculation of the Interest Coverage Ratio or Leverage Ratio with respect to such
period for such purpose shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis. 
 SECTION 1.06 Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents. 
 (a) The Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating
Dollar Equivalent amounts of Revolving Exposure and Outstanding Amounts denominated in Alternative Currencies. Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between
the applicable currencies until the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by Loan Parties hereunder or calculating financial ratios hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable
amount of any currency (other than Dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing 

  

 -40- 

 
Bank, as applicable; provided that for purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on (x) the incurrence of
Indebtedness, the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than Dollars shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness is incurred, in the case of
term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit date; provided that, if indebtedness is incurred to extend, replace, refund, refinance, renew or defease other Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than Dollars, and such
extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such extension, replacement,
refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness
being extended, replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed or defeased; and (y) the making of any investment, the Dollar-equivalent amount of any investment denominated in a currency other than Dollars shall be calculated based on the relevant
currency exchange rate in effect on the date such investment was made. 
 (b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing,
conversion, continuation or prepayment of a Eurocurrency Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Borrowing, Eurocurrency Loan or
Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Alternative Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward),
as determined by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 1.07 Additional Alternative Currencies.

 (a) The Borrower may from time to time request that Revolving Loans be made and/or Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than
those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency”; provided that such requested currency is a lawful currency (other than Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars.
In the case of any such request with respect to the making of Eurocurrency Loans, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders; and in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance
of Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank. 
 (b) Any such request
shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., 15 Business Days prior to the date of the desired credit extension (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such request
pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Issuing Bank, in its or their sole discretion). In the case of any such request pertaining to Eurocurrency Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof; and in the case of
any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Issuing Bank thereof. Each Revolving Lender (in the case of any such request pertaining to Eurocurrency Loans) or the Issuing Bank (in the case of a
request pertaining to Letters of Credit) shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., seven Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Eurocurrency Rate Revolving
Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency. 
  

 -41- 

 (c) Any failure by a Revolving Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to respond to such request
within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to permit Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loans to be made or Letters of Credit to be issued in such
requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and all the Revolving Lenders consent to making Eurocurrency Loans in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all
purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Borrowings of Eurocurrency Rate Revolving Loans; and if the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the
Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances. If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain
consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.07, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrower. 
 SECTION 1.08 Change of Currency. 
 (a) Each obligation of the Borrower to make a payment denominated in the national currency
unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the date hereof shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency
of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect
of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Borrowing in the currency of such member
state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period. 
 (b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent (after consultation with the Borrower) may from time to time specify to be appropriate to
reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro. 
 (c) Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may (after consultation with the Borrower) from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect a change in
currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change in currency.

date of such Borrowing (and the Borrower will comply with Section 2.16 in connection therewith). 
 (e) Revolving Loans. Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency to the Borrower as elected by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 from time to

ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as further provided herein, and Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies must be Eurocurrency Loans, as further provided herein. 
 SECTION 2.02 Funding of Loans. Each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class
and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder,
provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or
foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan, provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 2.03 Requests for Borrowings. 
 (a) Each Borrowing (other than Borrowings of Swingline Loans with respect to which this Section 2.03 shall not apply), each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Loans shall be made upon
the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, (i) three (3) Business Days
prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars or any conversion of ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans, (ii) four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or
continuation of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, and (iii) one (1) Business Day before the requested date of any Borrowing of ABR Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.03(a)
must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans
shall be in an amount of $5,000,000 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 ABR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple
of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Borrowing pursuant to the OMX Delayed Draw Tranche A Commitment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining OMX Delayed Draw Tranche A Commitment). Each Borrowing
Request (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing of Tranche A Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Loans, a conversion of Term Loans or Revolving Loans from one Type to the
other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency 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 Loans to be borrowed, converted or
continued, (iv) the currency in which the Loans to be borrowed are to be denominated, (v) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Term Loans or Revolving Loans are to be converted, and (vi) if applicable, the duration

  

 -44- 

 
of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Borrowing Request or fails to give a timely notice
requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Term Loans or Revolving Loans shall be made as, or converted to, ABR Loans (unless the Loan being made or continued is denominated in an Alternative Currency, in which case it shall be
made or continued as a Eurocurrency Loan with an Interest Period of one month). Any such automatic conversion to ABR Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Loans.
If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans in any such Borrowing Request, but fails to specify an Interest Period (or fails to give a timely notice requesting a continuation of Eurocurrency Loans
denominated in an Alternative Currency), it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. If no currency is specified in a Borrowing Request, the requested Borrowing shall be in Dollars. 
 (b) Following receipt of a Borrowing Request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender of the amount (and currency) of its
pro rata share of the applicable Class of Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to ABR
Loans or continuation of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency described in Section 2.03(a). In the case of each Borrowing, each applicable Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds
at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency, as the case may be, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day specified in the applicable Borrowing Request. Upon satisfaction
of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower
on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower;
provided that if, on the date a Borrowing Request with respect to a Borrowing of Revolving Loans is given by the Borrower, there are LC Borrowings or Swingline Loans outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to
the payment in full of any such LC Borrowings, second, to the prepayment in full of any such Swingline Loans and third, to the Borrower as provided above. 
 (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default, the
Required Lenders may require that no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that ABR Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the applicable Lenders of any change in the Administrative Agent’s prime rate used in determining
the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change. 
  

 -45- 

 (e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all
continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 (f) [Reserved]. 
 (g) Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume
that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (b) above, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the
Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and the
Borrower severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is
repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Overnight Rate plus any administrative,
processing, or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the foregoing. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(g) shall
be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of
such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower any amounts previously paid by Borrower in respect of such Borrowing under this Section 2.03. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have
against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 2.04 Swingline Loans. 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower in Dollars from time to
time during the Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Swingline Loans exceeding $10,000,000 or (ii) the aggregate Revolving
Exposures exceeding the aggregate Revolving Commitments, provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. All Swingline Loans shall be ABR Loans. Within the
foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. 
 (b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender. Each such notice must be received by the Swingline Lender 

  

 -46- 

 
and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a
minimum of $500,000 (and any amount in excess of $500,000 shall be an integral multiple of $100,000), and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to
the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swingline Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swingline Lender of any telephonic Swingline Loan
Notice, the Swingline Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swingline Loan Notice and, if not, the Swingline Lender will notify the Administrative Agent
(by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swingline Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent, any Loan Party or any Lender prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swingline
Borrowing (A) directing the Swingline Lender not to make such Swingline Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in 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 Swingline Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swingline Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swingline Loan available to the Borrower.

 (c) (i) The Swingline Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make an ABR Revolving Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding. Such
request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Borrowing Request for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02 without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the
principal amount of ABR Revolving Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.04. The Swingline Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Borrowing
Request promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Borrowing Request available to the Administrative Agent in Same
Day Funds for the account of the Swingline Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments not later that 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Borrowing Request, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each
Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an ABR Revolving Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swingline Lender and such funds shall be applied to repay the
applicable Swingline Loan. 
 (ii) If for any reason any Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing of Revolving Loans in
accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for ABR Revolving Loans submitted by the Swingline Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swingline Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the
relevant Swingline Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. 
 (iii) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid
by such Lender 

  

 -47- 

 
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to
recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Lender
at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swingline Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount
(with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s ABR Revolving Loan included in the relevant Borrowing of Revolving Loans or funded participation in the relevant Swingline Loan, as the case may be. A
certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (iv) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make ABR Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swingline Lender, the
Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that
each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make ABR Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.04. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the
obligation of the Borrower to repay Swingline Loans, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (d) (i) At any time after any Revolving
Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swingline Loan, if the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of such Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Applicable Percentage therein
in the same funds as those received by the Swingline Lender. 
 (ii) If any payment received by the Swingline Lender in respect of principal
or interest on any Swingline Loan is required to be returned by the Swingline Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.03 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swingline Lender in its discretion), each
Revolving Lender shall pay to the Swingline Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the
applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swingline Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this
Agreement. 
 (e) The Swingline Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swingline Loans. Until each
Revolving Lender funds its ABR Revolving Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swingline Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be
solely for the account of the Swingline Lender. 
 (f) The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the
Swingline Loans directly to the Swingline Lender. 
  

 -48- 

 (g) To the extent not previously refinanced under Section 2.04(c), Borrower shall repay each
Swingline Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date that is ten Business Days after such Loan is made and (ii) the Revolving Maturity Date. 
 SECTION 2.05 Letters of Credit. 
 (a) The Letter of Credit Commitment. 
 (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the Issuing Bank agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders
set forth in this Section 2.05, (x) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower
(provided that any Letter of Credit may be for the benefit of any Subsidiary of the Borrower) and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with this Section 2.05, and (y) to honor drawings under the
Letters of Credit and (B) the Revolving Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.05; provided that the Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to make LC Credit Extensions with
respect to Letters of Credit, and Revolving Lenders shall not be obligated to participate in Letters of Credit if, after giving effect to such LC Credit Extension, (x) the Revolving Exposures would exceed the Revolving Commitments, or
(y) the Outstanding Amount of the LC Exposure would exceed $10,000,000. Each request by the Borrower for an LC Credit Extension shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the LC Credit Extension so requested complies with the
conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the
Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. 
 (ii) The Issuing Bank shall not issue any Letter of Credit if: 
 (1) subject to
Section 2.05(a)(viii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last renewal, unless otherwise agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent; or 

(2) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the applicable fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving
Maturity Date, unless each Revolving Lender shall have approved such expiry date. 
 (iii) The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to
issue any Letter of Credit if: 
 (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its
terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to the Issuing Bank or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with
jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or direct that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of
Credit any restriction, reserve or 

  

 -49- 

 
capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the date of this Agreement, or shall impose upon the
Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the date of this Agreement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder); 
 (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit
generally; or 
 (C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, such Letter of Credit is to
be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or an Alternative Currency. 
 (iv) The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to amend
any Letter of Credit if (A) the Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed
amendment to such Letter of Credit. 
 (v) The Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of
Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article VIII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the
Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article VIII included the
Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Issuing Bank. 
 (vi)
Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or
date of amendment, as the case may be; or, in each case, such later date and time as the Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of
Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank: (a) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (b) the amount thereof; (c) the expiry
date thereof; (d) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (e) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (f) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in
case of any drawing thereunder; (g) the currency in which the request Letter of Credit will be denominated; and (h) such other information as shall be necessary to prepare such Letter of Credit. In the case of a request for an amendment of
any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which
shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other information as shall be necessary to amend such Letter of Credit. 
  

 -50- 

 (vii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the Issuing Bank will confirm with the
Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the Issuing Bank will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.
Unless the Issuing Bank has received written notice from the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or
more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the
applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, acquire from
the Issuing Bank a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit. 
 (viii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter
of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit the Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal at least once in each
twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed
upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Bank for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been
issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Bank to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving
Maturity Date; provided that the Issuing Bank shall not permit any such renewal if (A) the Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed
form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.05(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five
(5) Business Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date from the Administrative Agent or the Required lenders, as applicable, or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied. 

(ix) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the
beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Bank will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 
 (x) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall notify promptly the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the
case of an LC Disbursement with respect to any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) the Issuing Bank (at its option) shall have specified
in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Borrower shall have notified the Issuing Bank 

  

 -51- 

 
promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Borrower will reimburse the Issuing Bank in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in
Dollars of an LC Disbursement under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the LC Disbursement promptly following the determination thereof. Not
later than 11:00 a.m. on the first Business Day following the date on which the Borrower receives notice of any LC Disbursement (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank in an amount equal to
the amount of such LC Disbursement and in the applicable currency. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the Issuing Bank by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the
unreimbursed LC Disbursement (expressed in Dollars based on the Dollar Equivalent amount thereof in the case of an Alternative Currency), and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall
be deemed to have requested an ABR Revolving Loan to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Outstanding Amount of such LC Disbursement, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.03 for the principal
amount of ABR Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments, and subject to the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV (other than the delivery of a Borrowing Request). Any notice given by the Issuing
Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(x) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding
effect of such notice. 
 (xi) Each Revolving Lender (including any such Lender acting as the Issuing Bank) shall upon receipt of any notice
made pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(x) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank at the Administrative Agent’s Office for payments in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of any LC
Disbursement that has not been reimbursed by the Borrower at or prior to 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(a)(xii), each Revolving Lender
that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an ABR Revolving Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Issuing Bank and such funds shall be applied to repay the applicable
LC Disbursement. 
 (xii) With respect to any LC Disbursement that is not fully reimbursed by the Borrower and has not been refinanced by an
ABR Revolving Loan because the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Issuing Bank an LC Borrowing in the Outstanding Amount of the LC
Disbursement that is not so reimbursed or refinanced, which LC Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate specified in Section 2.13(c). In such event, each Revolving Lender’s
payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(xi) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such LC Borrowing and shall constitute an LC Advance from such Lender in
satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.05. 
 (xiii) Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan or
LC Advance pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the Issuing Bank. 

 

 -52- 

 (xiv) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or LC Advances to reimburse the
Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements that are not reimbursed by the Borrower as set forth herein, as contemplated by this Section 2.05(a), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Issuing Bank, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other
occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) is subject to the applicable conditions set
forth in Article IV (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Borrowing Request). No such making of an LC Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by
the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (xv) If any Revolving Lender fails to make
available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(a) by the time specified in Section 2.05(a)(xi), the Issuing
Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately
available to the Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Issuing Bank in connection with the foregoing. A
certificate of the Issuing Bank submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.05(a)(xv) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (b) Repayment of Participations. 
 (i) If, at any time after the Issuing Bank has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s LC Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.05(a), the
Administrative Agent receives for the account of the Issuing Bank any payment in respect of the related LC Disbursement or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by
the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s
LC Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. 
 (ii) If any payment received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(x) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.03 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Issuing
Bank in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to
the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The Obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause (b)(ii) shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
  

 -53- 

 (c) The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank for each LC Disbursement and to repay
each LC Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following: 
 (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document; 
 (B) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time
against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 
 (C) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any
loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; 
 (D) any payment by the Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Issuing Bank under such Letter
of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of
Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; 
 (E) any
adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; 
 (F) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the
Collateral Agreement or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of any Loan Party in respect of such Letter of Credit; or 
 (G) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan
Party; 
 provided that the foregoing shall not excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed
to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by any Requirement of Law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether
drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof, or acts or omissions by the Issuing Bank constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank. 
  

 -54- 

 (d) Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties,
shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the
preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing
thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank, provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the
Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the
Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without
limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept
and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance
with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 
 (e) If (i) any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Required Lenders require
the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the LC Exposure or (ii) an Event of Default pursuant to clause (h) or (i) of Article VII occurs and is continuing, then the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the LC Exposure (in an amount equal to
the Outstanding Amount thereof determined as of the date of such Event of Default), and shall do so not later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time on (x) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (i), (1) the Business Day that the
Borrower receives notice thereof, if such notice is received on such day prior to 12:00 Noon New York City time or (2) if clause (1) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such
notice and (y) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (ii), the Business Day on which an Event of Default set forth under clause (h) or (i) occurs or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately succeeding
such day. For purposes hereof, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders, as collateral for the LC Exposure, cash or
deposit account balances (“Cash Collateral”) pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (which documents are hereby consented to by the Revolving
Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all
balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked accounts at the Administrative Agent and may be invested 

  

 -55- 

 
in readily available Permitted Investments selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which
funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Requirements of Law, to reimburse the Issuing Bank. To the extent the amount of any Cash Collateral exceeds the then Outstanding Amount of
such LC Exposure and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the excess shall be refunded to the Borrower within three days of date that such excess accrues together with all interest, if any, that has accrued on such amount.
If such Event of Default is cured or waived and no other Event of Default is then occurring and continuing, the amount of any Cash Collateral shall be refunded to the Borrower within three days of the occurrence of such cure or waiver together with
all interest, if any, that has accrued on such amount. 
 (f) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the relevant
Issuing Bank and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit. 
 (g)
Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in any Letter of Credit Application, in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms
hereof shall control. 
 (h) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding
hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby
acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries. 
 SECTION 2.06 [Intentionally Omitted]. 
 SECTION 2.07 [Intentionally Omitted]. 
 SECTION 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. 
 (a) Unless previously terminated, (i) the Initial Tranche A Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date,
(ii) the OMX Delayed Draw Tranche A Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 27, 2008, (iii) the PHLX Delayed Draw Tranche A Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 31,
2008, (iv) the Nord Pool Delayed Draw Tranche A Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 27, 2008 and (v) the Revolving Commitments and the Swingline Commitment shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity
Date. 
 (b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Class, provided that
(i) each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 or if less, the entire remaining amount and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce
the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the aggregate Revolving Exposures (excluding, in the case of any 

  

 -56- 

 
termination of the Revolving Commitments, the portion of the Revolving Exposures attributable to outstanding Letters of Credit if and to the extent that the
Borrower has made arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit and the Issuing Bank has released the Revolving Lenders from their participation obligations with respect to such
Letters of Credit) would exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments. 
 (c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any
election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly
following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable, provided that a notice of termination of the
Commitments of any Class delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness, in which case such notice may be
revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the
Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class. 
 SECTION
2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 
 (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Revolving Maturity Date in the currency in which such Revolving Loan is denominated, (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.10 and (iii) to the Swingline Lender in Dollars the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the Revolving
Maturity Date. 
 (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of
the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the currency, Class and
Type thereof and the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received
by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (d) Absent manifest error, the
entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein, provided that the failure of any
Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans and pay interest thereon in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

 

 -57- 

 (e) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such
event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative
Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the
payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

 (b) To the extent not previously paid, all Tranche A Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Tranche A
Maturity Date. 
 (c) Any prepayment of a Term Loan of any Class shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Term
Loans of such Class to be made pursuant to this Section or, except as otherwise provided in any Incremental Facility Amendment, pursuant to the corresponding section of such Incremental Facility Amendment, (i) in the case of prepayments made
pursuant to Section 2.11(a), at the direction of the Borrower and (ii) in the case of prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.11(c) or (d), ratably to the remaining amortization payments set forth in paragraph (a) above.

 (d) Prior to any repayment of any Term Loans of any Class hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of the
applicable Class of Loans to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such election not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment.
Each repayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing. Repayments of Term Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid. 
 SECTION 2.11 Prepayment of Loans. 
 (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section. 
 (b) (i) In the event and on such occasion that the aggregate Revolving Exposures exceed 105% of the aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans (or, if no such
Borrowings are outstanding, Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.05(e)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess and (ii) in the event that the Borrower borrows any Tranche A Term Loans pursuant to the Nord Pool
Delayed Draw A Commitments and the Nord Pool Acquisition is not consummated on or prior to November 1, 2008 (or, if such Tranche A Term Loans have been borrowed and the Borrower determines on any earlier date that the Nord Pool Acquisition will
not be consummated on or prior to November 1, 2008), then no later than the third Business Day following such date (or 

  

 -59- 

 
date of determination), the Borrower will prepay Tranche A Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of Tranche A Term Loans borrowed
pursuant to the Nord Pool Delayed Draw Tranche A Commitments. 
 (c) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by
or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, within three Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay Tranche A Term Loans on a pro rata basis based on the then outstanding
amounts of Tranche A Term Loans; provided that in the case of any event described in clause (a) or (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event,” if the Borrower and the Subsidiaries apply the Net Proceeds from such
event (or a portion thereof) within 365 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds and at a time when no Default has occurred and is continuing, to acquire real property, equipment or other tangible assets to be used in the business of the Borrower and
the Subsidiaries (provided that the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent within three Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received a certificate of a Financial Officer stating its intention to do so and certifying that no
Default has occurred and is continuing), then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net Proceeds in respect of such event (or the portion of such Net Proceeds specified in such certificate, if applicable)
except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so applied or contractually committed by the end of such 365-day period (and, if so contractually committed in writing but not applied prior to the end of such 365-day
period, applied within 180 days of the end of such period) or cease to be contractually committed after such 365-day period, at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied.

 (d) Following the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, the Borrower
shall prepay Tranche A Term Loans on a pro rata basis based on the then outstanding amounts of Tranche A Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the Required Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year, provided that such amount
shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of prepayments of Tranche A Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.11(a) during such fiscal year. Each prepayment pursuant to this paragraph shall be made within 90 days after the end of such fiscal year
for which financial statements are delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 with respect to the fiscal year for which Excess Cash Flow is being calculated. 
 (e) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant
to paragraph (f) of this Section. In the event of any optional or mandatory prepayment of Term Borrowings made at a time when Term Borrowings of more than one Class remain outstanding, the Borrower shall select Term Borrowings to be prepaid so
that the aggregate amount of such prepayment is allocated between Tranche A Term Borrowings and, to the extent provided in the Incremental Facility Amendment for any Class of Incremental Term Loans, the Borrowings of such Class pro rata based on the
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Borrowings of each such Class. Prepayments of Tranche A Term Loans shall be applied ratably to reduce scheduled prepayments required pursuant to Section 2.10(a) as specified by the Borrower. 

 

 -60- 

 (f) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline
Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or otherwise in writing) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars, not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City
time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency, not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, four Business Days before the date of
prepayment, (iii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iv) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a
reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment, provided that a notice of optional prepayment may state that such notice is conditional upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from
the issuance of other Indebtedness, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to 12:00 noon New York City time, on the specified date) if such condition is not
satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an
amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.03(a), except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be
applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13, except in the case of partial prepayment of ABR Loans, which interest shall be payable
on the next scheduled interest payment date. 
 SECTION 2.12 Fees. 
 (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a facility fee in Dollars, which shall accrue at a
rate equal to 0.50% per annum on the actual daily amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate (and following the
termination of the Revolving Commitments, such fee shall be payable on the Revolving Exposure of each Revolving Lender until such Revolving Exposure is reduced to zero). Accrued facility fees shall be payable in arrears on the third Business Day

such Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which the PHLX Delayed Draw Tranche A Commitments terminate and (iii) a Nord Pool Delayed Draw Tranche A Commitment a commitment fee in Dollars,
which shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum on the actual daily amount of the unused Nord Pool Delayed Draw Tranche A Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which

year (accruing through the last day of each month) and on the date on which the Delayed Draw Tranche A Commitments of the applicable Class terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees pursuant to
this Section 2.12(b) shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
 (c) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee in Dollars with respect
to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans on the actual daily Outstanding Amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure
(excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements or LC Borrowings) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates
and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee in Dollars, which shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum on the actual daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any
portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements or LC Borrowings) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there
ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued
pursuant to this Section 2.12(c) through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the
Closing Date, provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other
fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of
days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) All
fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds in the currency specified herein (or, if no currency is specified, in Dollars), to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to
it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances, absent manifest error. 
  

 -62- 

 SECTION 2.13 Interest. 
 (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Base Rate for Borrowings of such Class plus the
Applicable Rate. In addition, if at any time any Term Loans are maintained as ABR Term Loans, the Borrower agrees that within 10 Business Days after receiving any request from any Non-ABR Lender (but not more frequently than quarterly for any
Lender), the Borrower will pay such Non-ABR Lender the ABR Gross-Up Amount with respect to the ABR Term Loans of such Non-ABR Lender. 
 (b)
The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the applicable Eurocurrency Rate for Borrowings of such Class for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate plus (in the case of a Eurocurrency
Loan of any Lender which is lent from a lending office in the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State), Mandatory Costs. 
 (c)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder (including any LC Disbursement or LC Borrowing) is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon
acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as
provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section. 
 (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon
termination of the Revolving Commitments, provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a
prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan or a Swingline Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in
the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 
 (e) All computations of interest for ABR Loans when the Base Rate is based on the “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or
366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if
computed on the basis of a 365-day year), or, in the case of interest in respect of Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Interest shall
accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on 

  

 -63- 

 
the same day on which it is made shall, bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall
be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the
commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate for any currency for such Interest Period; or 
 (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Eurocurrency Rate for any currency for such Interest Period will
not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 then
the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving
rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any request pursuant to Section 2.03(a) that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing in the affected currency shall be ineffective
and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing denominated in Dollars. 
 SECTION 2.15 Increased Costs. 
 (a) If any Change in Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against
assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or the Issuing Bank (except (A) any such reserve requirement contemplated by Section 2.15(e) and (B) the requirements of the Bank of England and the
Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank reflected in the Mandatory Cost, other than as set forth below); 
 (ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

 (iii) subject any Lender or the Issuing Bank to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, or any Loan
made by it or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or Issuing Bank in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnified by Section 2.17, and the
imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Taxes); or 
 (iv) result in the failure of the Mandatory Cost, as
calculated hereunder, to represent the cost to any Lender of complying with the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank in relation to its making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency
Rate Loans; 
  

 -64- 

 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any
Eurocurrency Loan (or, in the case of clause (iii), any Loan), or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to
reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of
such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a
level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies
and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph
(a) or (b) of this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing
Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the
270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 (e) The Borrower shall pay to each
Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”),
additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such 

  

 -65- 

 
reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), and (ii) as long
as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the
Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined
by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date or which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior
notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable
10 days from receipt of such notice. 
 SECTION 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of
any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Revolving Loan or Term Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(f) and is
revoked in accordance therewith), (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 or Section 9.02(b) or
(e) the Borrowings included in each Tranche A Lenders Tranche A Term Loans are reallocated in accordance with Section 2.01(d), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable
to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the
principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Eurocurrency Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the
case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such
Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or
amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10
days after receipt thereof. 
 SECTION 2.17 Taxes. 
 (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided
that if any applicable withholding agent shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all such required

  

 -66- 

 
deductions (including such deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank
(as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions, and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the
full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) Without limiting the provisions of
paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes payable by the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The written demand shall be made in a certificate setting forth the amount
of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and, in reasonable detail, the calculation and basis for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt, if
available, issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) (i) Each Lender that is a United States person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two duly completed and signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from federal backup withholding. 
 (ii) Each Lender that is a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to
this Agreement whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (A) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service

other required information from each beneficial owner, as applicable. 
 (iii) Without limitation of its obligations under paragraphs
(i) or (ii), each Lender shall, at such time as reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any other documentation prescribed by applicable law, properly completed
and executed, as will permit payments made to such Lender under the Loan Documents to be made without or at a reduced rate of withholding tax. 
 (iv) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of any previously delivered form or certification (or any applicable successor form) on or before the date that any such form or certification

 (f) If the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or a Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of
indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender,
agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent,

 SECTION 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. 
 (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it under any Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC
Borrowings or LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required,
prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have
been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing
Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the
Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall
be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder with respect to principal
and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative
Currency and in Same Day Funds. If, for any reason, the Borrower is prohibited by any Requirement of Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent
of the Alternative Currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its pro rata (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s
lending office. 
 (b) Subject to Section 2.18(e), if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative
Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Borrowings and LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among
the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Borrowings and LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the
parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Borrowings and LC Disbursements then due to such parties. 
  

 -69- 

 (c) Subject to Section 2.18(e), if any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans, LC Advances or participations in Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of
the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans, LC Advances and participations in Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall
purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, provided that (i) if any such
participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the
provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or
sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The
Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder
that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion, distribute to the
Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at
the Overnight Rate. 
 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(c),
2.03(b) or (g), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy
such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 SECTION 2.19 Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 
 (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to
pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for 

  

 -70- 

 
the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or
booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable
pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not be inconsistent with its internal policies or otherwise be disadvantageous to such
Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 2.17, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate,
without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank and Swingline
Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, LC Advances and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and
all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee or the Borrower, (iii) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b) and (iv) in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation or payments. A
Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender under paragraph (a) above), the
circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 SECTION 2.20 Incremental Loans.

 (a) At any time and from time to time prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, and, with respect to Incremental Term Loans, prior to the
Tranche A Maturity Date, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request to
(x) increase the existing Revolving Commitments (“Incremental Revolving Commitments”) and/or (y) add one or more additional tranches of term loans or increases in the amount of any existing Class of Term Loans (the
“Incremental Term Loans”), provided that at the time of each such request and upon the effectiveness of each Incremental Facility Amendment, (A) no Default has occurred and is continuing or shall result therefrom,
(B) the Borrower shall be in compliance on a Pro Forma Basis with the covenants contained in Sections 6.12 and 6.13 recomputed as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been or were required to be
delivered pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of Section 5.01, (C) the Incremental Loans shall constitute “Senior Indebtedness” under and as defined in the Convertible 

  

 -71- 

 
Notes Documents and (D) the Borrower shall have delivered a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect set forth in clauses (A), (B) and
(C) above, together with all calculations relevant thereto, including reasonably detailed calculations demonstrating compliance with clause (B) above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate principal amount of the
Incremental Revolving Commitments and Incremental Term Loans shall not exceed $200,000,000 and the aggregate amount of the Incremental Revolving Commitments shall not exceed $100,000,000. Each exercise of the Borrower’s right to seek
Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Loans shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $100,000,000, in the case of Incremental Term Loans, and $25,000,000, in the
case of Incremental Revolving Commitments. 
 (b) The Incremental Term Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment
in respect of the Collateral and with the Obligations in respect of the Revolving Commitments and the Tranche A Term Loans, (ii) for purposes of prepayments, shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than)
the Tranche A Term Loans and (iii) other than amortization, pricing or maturity date, shall have the same terms as the Tranche A Term Loans, provided that (A) if the Applicable Rate (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to
include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable to all Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans) relating to any Incremental Term Loan exceeds the Applicable Rate (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to include
all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable to all Lenders providing the Tranche A Term Loans) relating to the Tranche A Term Loans immediately prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment, the
Applicable Rate relating to the Tranche A Term Loans shall be adjusted to be equal to the Applicable Rate (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable to all Lenders
providing such Incremental Term Loans) relating to such Incremental Term Loans, (B) any Incremental Term Loan shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the Tranche A Maturity Date, and (C) any Incremental Term Loan shall not have a
weighted average life that is shorter than the weighted average life of the then-remaining Tranche A Term Loans. 
 (c) Obligations incurred
pursuant to the Incremental Revolving Commitments shall rank pari passu in right of payment in respect of the Collateral with the Obligations in respect of the Revolving Commitments and the Tranche A Term Loans, and any Incremental
Revolving Commitments shall have the same terms as the Revolving Commitments in effect at the time such Incremental Revolving Commitments are obtained and shall be treated as a single Class with such Revolving Commitments for all purposes of this
Agreement. 
 (d) Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the
relevant Incremental Loans. Any additional bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person that elects to extend Incremental Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (any such bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person being called an “Additional Lender”) and, if not already a Lender, shall become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an
“Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, such Additional Lender and the Administrative Agent. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any
Incremental Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitment, unless it so agrees. An Incremental Facility 
  

 -72- 

 Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as
may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section (including to provide for voting provisions applicable to the Additional Lenders comparable to the provisions of clause (B) of
the second proviso of Section 9.02(b)). The effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders, be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each,
an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.04 (it being understood that all references to “the date of such Borrowing” in Section 4.04 shall be deemed to refer to the
Incremental Facility Closing Date). The Administrative Agent shall receive not less than 10 Business Days’ advance notice (or shorter, if agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior to any proposed Incremental Facility Closing Date. 

ARTICLE III

concept exists) in good standing (or its equivalent, if any) could not individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.02 Authorization; Enforceability. 
 (a) The Transactions to be entered into by each Loan
Party are within such Loan Party’s corporate powers and have been or will by the time required be duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action and, if required, action by the holders of such Loan Party’s Equity Interests.

 (b) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan
Party is to be a party, when executed and delivered by such Loan Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 
  

 -73- 

 SECTION 3.03 Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any
consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been, or will be by the time required, obtained or made and are, or will be by the time required, in full force and effect

Borrower or any Subsidiary, except Liens created under the Loan Documents and other Liens permitted by Section 6.02, except, in the case of clauses (c) and (d), for any such violations or defaults that, individually or in the aggregate,
could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.04 Financial Condition; No Material Adverse
Change. 
 (a) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders (i) its consolidated balance sheet as of the end of the fiscal
years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 and consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006, in each case
reported on by Ernst & Young LLP, independent public accountants for the Borrower, and (ii) its consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2007 and 2006 and consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash
flows for the fiscal quarter and the portion of the fiscal year ended September 2007 (and comparable periods for the prior fiscal year), certified by its chief financial officer. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, subject in the case of clause (ii) to normal year-end audit
adjustments and the absence of footnotes. 
 (b) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its pro forma consolidated balance
sheet as of September 30, 2007, prepared giving effect to the Transactions as if the Transactions had occurred on such date, and its pro forma consolidated statement of income for the twelve-month period ended as of such date, prepared giving
effect to the Transactions as if the Transactions had occurred on the first day of such twelve-month period. Such pro forma projected consolidated financial statements (i) have been prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed by the
Borrower to be reasonable at the time such projections were prepared and (ii) were based on the best information then available to the Borrower after due inquiry, which includes estimates of the results of the OMX Group and PHLX and its
subsidiaries for the most recent fiscal quarter ended prior to the Closing Date for which financial statements have been made available to the Arrangers. 
 (c) Except as disclosed in the financial statements referred to above or the notes thereto and except for the Disclosed Matters, after giving effect to the Transactions, none of the Borrower or the Subsidiaries has,
as of the Closing Date, any material direct or contingent liabilities or long-term commitments. 
  

 -74- 

 (d) With respect to any credit event following the Closing Date, no event, change or condition has
occurred that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
whether or not covered by insurance, since December 31, 2006. 
 SECTION 3.05 Properties. 
 (a) Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property material to its
business (including the Mortgaged Properties), except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or as proposed to be conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended
purposes. 
 (b) Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents and
other intellectual property material to its business, and the use thereof by the Borrower and the Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c) Schedule 3.05 sets forth the address of each real property that is
owned or leased by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party as of the Closing Date. 
 SECTION 3.06 Litigation and Environmental
Matters. 
 (a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to
the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower or any Subsidiary (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in
the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve any of the Loan Documents. 
 (b) Except for the Disclosed Matters and except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary
(i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, or (iii) has
received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability. 
 (c) Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change
in the status of the Disclosed Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.07
Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries is in compliance with (a) its Organizational Documents, (b) all Requirements of Law applicable to it or its property and (c) all indentures,
agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except, in the case of clauses (b) and (c) of this Section, where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. 
  

 -75- 

 SECTION 3.08 Investment Company Status. None of the Borrower or any Subsidiary is an
“investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940. 
 SECTION 3.09
Taxes. Except for failures that would not individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries has (i) timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax
returns and reports required to have been filed; (ii) paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, other than any Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings if such contest shall have the
effect of suspending the collection (or the enforcement of any Liens) for such Taxes and adequate reserves for such Taxes have been provided on the books of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP; and (iii) complied with all
Tax withholding obligations. 
 SECTION 3.10 ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken
together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan have
been satisfied. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under all underfunded Plans (determined for each Plan based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the
date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans by an amount that, if required to be paid by the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.11 Disclosure. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, neither the
Information Memorandum, if any, nor any of the other reports, financial statements, certificates or other information, if any, furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation
of any Loan Document or delivered thereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished and taken together as a whole) contains any material misstatement of fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared based upon good faith
assumptions believed by it to be reasonable at the time delivered (it being understood that such forecasts and projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Borrower’s control, that no
assurance can be given that forecasts or projections will be realized, and that actual results may differ from projections and such difference may be material). 
 SECTION 3.12 Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.12 sets forth the name of, and the ownership interest of the Borrower and each Subsidiary in, each Subsidiary and identifies each Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Loan
Party, in each case as of the Closing Date. 
  

 -76- 

 SECTION 3.13 Insurance. The Borrower believes that the insurance maintained by or on behalf of the
Borrower and the Subsidiaries is in such amounts (with no greater risk retention) and against such risks as is (i) customarily maintained by companies of established repute engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or
similar locations and (ii) adequate. 
 SECTION 3.14 Labor Matters. As of the Closing Date, there are no strikes or lockouts or
any other material labor disputes against the Borrower or any Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened. Except as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect,
(a) the hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters, and
(b) all payments due from the Borrower or any Subsidiary on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower or such Subsidiary. There is no
organizing activity involving the Borrower or any Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, threatened by any labor union or group of employees, except those that, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no representation proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, threatened with the National Mediation Board, and no labor organization or group of employees of the Borrower
or any Subsidiary has made a pending demand for recognition, except those that, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no material complaints or charges against the Borrower or any Subsidiary
pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, threatened to be filed with any Governmental Authority or arbitrator based on, arising out of, in connection with, or otherwise relating to the employment or termination of employment
by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any individual, except those that, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or
right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is bound. 
 SECTION 3.15 Solvency. Immediately after the consummation of the Transactions to occur on the Closing Date, (a) the fair value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis), at a fair valuation,
will exceed their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) will be greater than the amount that will be
required to pay the liability of their debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become matured, (c) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) will be able to pay
their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become matured, and (d) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct
their business. 
 SECTION 3.16 Federal Reserve Regulations. 
 (a) The Borrower is not engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of buying or
carrying Margin Stock. 
  

 -77- 

 (b) Taking into account all of the Transactions, no part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used for
any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulation T, U or X. 
 SECTION 3.17 Guarantor Other
Indebtedness. With respect to the Borrower, the Obligations with respect to Tranche A Term Loans and Revolving Loans made pursuant to Section 2.01 constitute “Guarantor Other Indebtedness” under and as defined in the Convertible
Notes Documents.

that, to the extent any Collateral (other than the pledge and perfection of the security interests in the capital stock of wholly-owned domestic Subsidiaries held by the PHLX Parties (to the extent required by the Collateral Agreement) and other
assets pursuant to which a Lien may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code) is not provided on the PHLX Funding Date after the Borrower has used commercially reasonable efforts to do so, the delivery of
such Collateral shall not constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Tranche A Term Loans on the PHLX Funding Date but shall be required to be delivered after the PHLX Funding Date pursuant to Section 5.13(d); 
  

 -80- 

 (ii) lien searches with respect to each PHLX Party in such jurisdictions as may be

material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent in the case of this subclause (ii) that the Borrower would have the right to terminate its obligations under the PHLX Acquisition Agreement as a result of a breach of such
representations and warranties in the PHLX Acquisition Agreement, shall in each case be true and correct in all material respects. 
 (d) No Major Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing.

consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the Nord Pool Acquisition shall be consummated substantially concurrently with the borrowing of the Tranche A Term Loans pursuant to the Nord Pool Delayed Draw Tranche A Commitments; provided
that the condition set forth in this clause (a) shall not be required to be satisfied in connection with any Borrowing of Tranche A Term Loans on the last Business Day of the Nord Pool Delayed Draw Availability Period if the Borrower has
delivered a certificate of a Responsible Officer to the Administrative Agent stating that the Borrower will cause the proceeds of the Tranche A Term Loans to be held in a segregated account of the Borrower until such time as such funds are used to
pay all or a portion of the consideration payable in the Nord Pool Acquisition or to prepay Tranche A Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(ii). 
 (b) The Borrower shall have furnished to the Lenders copies of all historical financial statements received prior to such time pursuant to the Nord Pool Acquisition Agreement. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower certifying that the

relates to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date). 
  

 -82- 

 (b) Other than any Clean-Up Default, at the time of and immediately after giving effect
to such Borrowing or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit, as the case may be, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
 Each Borrowing (provided that a conversion or a continuation of a Borrowing shall not constitute a “Borrowing” for purposes of this Section) and each LC Credit Extension shall be deemed to constitute a representation and
warranty by the Borrower on the date thereof as to the matters specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section.

materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the
“Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities) (each, a

 -84- 

 
efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (w) all such Borrower Materials shall
be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC,” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower
shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with

 (c) within three Business Days after the Borrower becomes aware of the occurrence of any ERISA Event or any fact or
circumstance that gives rise to a reasonable expectation that any ERISA Event will occur that, in either case, alone or together with any other ERISA Events that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to
result in material liability of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries; 
 (d) any change in the ratings of the credit facilities
made available under this Agreement by S&P or Moody’s, or any notice from either such agency indicating its intent to effect such a change or to place the Borrower or such credit facilities on a “CreditWatch” or
“WatchList” or any similar list, in each case with negative implications, or its cessation of, or its intent to cease, rating such credit facilities; and 
 (e) any other development that results in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Each notice delivered under this Section shall be accompanied by a written statement of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower setting forth the details of the event or

 (a) The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent prompt written notice of any change (i) in any Loan Party’s legal name, (ii) in
the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of any Loan Party or (iii) in any Loan Party’s organizational identification number. The Borrower agrees not to effect or permit any change referred to in the preceding sentence unless all
filings have been made under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise that are required in order for the Administrative Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected security interest in all the
Collateral. 
 (b) At the time of delivery of financial statements pursuant to Section 5.01(a), the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent a certificate executed by a Financial Officer or chief legal officer of the Borrower (i) setting forth the information required pursuant to Sections 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of the Perfection Certificate or confirming

Commercial Code financing statements (including fixture filings, as the case may be) or other appropriate filings, recordings or registrations, including all refilings, rerecordings and reregistrations, containing a description of the Collateral
have been filed of record in each governmental, municipal or other appropriate office in each jurisdiction identified pursuant to clause (i) above to the extent necessary to protect and perfect the security interests under the Collateral
Agreement for a period of not less than 18 months after the date of such certificate (except as noted therein with respect to any continuation statements to be filed within such period). 
 SECTION 5.04 Existence; Conduct of Business. The Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, do or cause to be done all things necessary to
obtain, preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect (a) its legal existence and (b) the rights, licenses, permits, privileges, franchises, patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade names material to the conduct of its business,
except, in the case of clause (b), to the extent that failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any merger,

will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, pay its obligations (other than Indebtedness and any obligations in respect of any Swap Agreements), including Tax liabilities that, if unpaid, could result in a Lien on any of its assets or properties,
before the same shall become delinquent or in default, except where (a) the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (b) such contests shall have the effect of suspending any collection or the
enforcement of such obligations, (c) the Borrower or such Subsidiary has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP, and (d) any failures to make such payments pending such contests could not
individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 5.06 Maintenance of
Properties. The Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, keep and maintain all property material to the conduct of its business in good 

  

 -86- 

 
working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 5.07 Insurance. The Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to,
maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, (a) insurance in such amounts (with no greater risk retention) and against such risks as is customarily maintained by companies of established repute engaged in the same or
similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations and (b) all other insurance as may be required by law or any other Loan Document. The Borrower will furnish to the Lenders, upon request of the Administrative Agent, information in
reasonable detail as to the insurance so maintained. The Borrower will cause all property and casualty insurance policies to be endorsed or otherwise amended to include a “mortgagee” endorsement and a “standard” or “New
York” lender’s loss payable endorsement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, which endorsement shall provide that, from and after the Closing Date, if the insurance carrier shall have received written

interest in the Collateral under power of eminent domain or by condemnation or similar proceeding. 
 SECTION 5.09 Books and Records;
Inspection and Audit Rights. The Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, keep proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries are made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and
activities. Subject to Section 9.12, the Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, permit any representatives designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (which shall be coordinated through the Administrative Agent), upon
reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect its properties, to examine and make extracts from its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers and independent accountants, all at such reasonable times and
as often as reasonably requested, provided that, excluding any such visits and inspections during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not exercise such rights more often than two times
during any calendar year. 
 SECTION 5.10 Compliance with Laws. The Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, comply with all
Requirements of Law with respect to it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 5.11 Use of Proceeds and Letters of Credit. The proceeds of the Tranche A Term Loans (together with Revolving Loans, if any, drawn on the
Closing Date) will be used, directly or indirectly, to consummate a portion of the OMX Refinancing and the OMX Acquisition and to pay Transaction Costs. The proceeds of the Tranche A Term Loans made 

  

 -87- 

 
pursuant to the OMX Delayed Draw Tranche A Commitments will be used to acquire OMX Shares not acquired on the Closing Date and to refinance certain
Indebtedness of the OMX Group. The proceeds of the Tranche A Term Loans made pursuant to the PHLX Delayed Draw Tranche A Commitments will be used to consummate the PHLX Acquisition and to refinance certain existing indebtedness of PHLX. The proceeds
of the Tranche A Term Loans made pursuant to the Nord Pool Delayed Draw Tranche A Commitments will be used to consummate the Nord Pool Acquisition and to refinance certain existing indebtedness of Nord Pool (it being understood and agreed that such
proceeds may also be held in a segregated account of the Borrower to be used to pay all or a portion of the consideration payable in the Nord Pool Acquisition upon the consummation thereof). The proceeds of the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans
drawn after the Closing Date will be used only for general corporate purposes (including Permitted Acquisitions and the payment of Transaction Costs). No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose
that entails a violation of any of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulations T, U and X. Letters of Credit will be used only for general corporate purposes. 
 SECTION 5.12 Additional Subsidiaries. If any additional Subsidiary is formed or acquired after the Closing Date, the Borrower will, within five Business Days after such Subsidiary is formed or acquired, notify
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders thereof and cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be satisfied with respect to such Subsidiary (if it is a Subsidiary Loan Party) and with respect to any Equity Interest in or Indebtedness of such
Subsidiary owned by or on behalf of any Loan Party; provided that with respect to newly acquired Foreign Subsidiaries the Borrower will have thirty days to deliver a pledge of any Equity Interests in such Subsidiary, which thirty day period
may be extended at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 5.13 Further Assurances. 
 (a) On and after the Closing Date, the Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary Loan Party to, execute any and all further documents, financing
statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds of trust and other documents), that may be required under any applicable law, or
that the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may reasonably request, to cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be and remain satisfied, all at the expense of the Loan Parties. On and after the Closing Date, the Borrower also
agrees to provide to the Administrative Agent, from time to time upon request, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as to the perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents.

 (b) If any material assets (including any real property or improvements thereto or any interest therein with a fair market value in excess
of $5,000,000) are acquired by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party after the Closing Date (other than (i) assets constituting Collateral under the Collateral Agreement that become subject to the Lien created by the Collateral Agreement
upon acquisition thereof and (ii) Excluded Assets), the Borrower will notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders thereof and, if requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, the Borrower will cause such assets to be
subjected to a Lien securing the Obligations and will take, and cause the Subsidiary Loan Parties to take, such actions as shall be 

  

 -88- 

 
necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions described in paragraph (a) of this
Section, all at the expense of the Loan Parties. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the provision of clauses (a) and (b) of this
Section 5.13, the Administrative Agent shall not take a security interest in those assets with respect to which the Administrative Agent and the Borrower determine that the cost of granting any such Lien on any such assets is excessive in
relation to the benefit to the Lenders afforded by such Lien on such assets or to the extent that the taking of such security interest is unlawful or would reasonably be expected to result in a risk of material liability to the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries taken together or would reasonably be expected to result in a risk of liability to their respective directors (civil or criminal) or would reasonably be expected to result in a materially adverse tax consequence to the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries taken together. 
 (d) To the extent that any OMX Shares are owned by any
Loan Party on the 120th day following the Closing Date, the Borrower shall cause such OMX Shares to be subject to a Foreign Pledge Agreement
governed by the laws of Sweden and in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and, subject to Schedule 1.02, the Loan Parties shall have taken all actions on or prior to such date as may be reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent in order to perfect the security interest of the Administrative Agent therein; provided, that if an Event of Default (other than a Clean-Up Default) has occurred and is continuing on or prior to such 120th day and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall so request in a written notice to the Borrower, the Loan Parties shall, subject to Schedule
1.02, take all such actions to perfect such security interest as promptly as reasonably practicable notwithstanding that such 120 day period shall not yet have expired. 
 SECTION 5.14 Interest Rate and Foreign Currency Protection. 
 (a) As promptly as practicable, and in
any event from the date that is 180 days after the Closing Date through the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall enter into Swap Agreements to the extent required to ensure that at least 30% of the aggregate principal amount of
Indebtedness for borrowed money of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries shall either bear interest at a fixed rate or the interest cost in respect thereto shall be fixed or capped pursuant to one or more Swap Agreements entered into with
one or more Lenders (or Affiliates thereof) on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. 
 (b) At all times
from and after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall maintain a sound and fiscally responsible hedging program, in accordance with prudent business practices, designed to protect the Borrower and its Subsidiaries against foreign exchange and currency
fluctuations. 
 SECTION 5.15 Rated Credit Facilities. The Borrower will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Loans to be
continuously rated by S&P and Moody’s. 
 SECTION 5.16 Change of Name. Within three Business Days following the Closing Date,

Party unless such Subsidiary was an obligor with respect to the Indebtedness being refinanced, extended, renewed or replaced, (II) shall not be in a principal amount that exceeds the principal amount of the Indebtedness being refinanced, extended,
renewed or replaced (plus any accrued but unpaid interest and premium or penalty payable by the terms of such Indebtedness thereon and reasonable fees and expenses associated therewith), (III) shall not have an earlier maturity date or shorter
weighted average life than the Indebtedness being refinanced, extended, renewed or replaced and (IV) if the Indebtedness being refinanced, extended, renewed or replaced is subordinated to the Obligations, such Indebtedness shall be subordinated to
the Obligations on the same terms as the Indebtedness being refinanced, extended, renewed or replaced;

be a perfected Lien;

Commitments unless such Event of Default constitutes a Major Event of Default), and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any
principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations

obligations entered into in good faith and binding on it and to the extent it receives such information, the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent as soon as reasonably practicable after it becomes aware of the circumstance constituting a
Clean-up Default and (B) the Clean-up Default has not been knowingly procured by a Loan Party and is capable of cure (or, to the extent not so capable of being cured, would not have a Material Adverse Effect) and the Borrower takes such steps
as are commercially reasonably available to it to procure that OMX or its subsidiaries (as appropriate) cure such Clean-up Default, it being acknowledged that such steps shall not require the Borrower to take any action that, until such time as OMX
is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, extend to the convening of any shareholders’ meeting or the exercise of any right (as shareholder) to remove directors of the relevant members of OMX and its subsidiaries or the taking of any action that the
Borrower as a shareholder in good faith and acting on the advice of counsel considers may reasonably 

  

 -108- 

 
result in an action by the minority shareholders in OMX or any of its subsidiaries against the officers or shareholders of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries
on the grounds of unfair prejudice, breach of duty or otherwise. 
 ARTICLE VIII  
 THE AGENTS 
 SECTION 8.01 Regarding
the Agents. 
 Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as Administrative
Agent and as Collateral Agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the
terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Therefore, the Collateral Agent is the agent of and is acting for and on behalf of the Lenders (including, without limitation to enter into any
Security Document and to exercise any rights provided for thereunder). The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and the Borrower shall not have
rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. References in this Article VIII to “Agents” shall mean Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, collectively. 
 Each bank serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same
as though it were not such Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not such Agent
hereunder. 
 No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or
exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary or believed by the such Agent in good faith to be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 2.05 or Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, no Agent
shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in
Section 2.05 or Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or
a Lender, and no Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or

  

 -109- 

 
other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms
or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of
any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. 
 Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic
message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by
telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected
by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
 Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights
and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of such Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities
in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as such Agent. 
 Any Agent may resign
at any time upon notice to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed
by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after such retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then such retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent that
shall be a bank with an office in the United States or an Affiliate of any such bank, provided that if such Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall
nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) such retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by
the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and
(b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Bank directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as
provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the
retiring Agent shall be discharged from all its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower

  

 -110- 

 
and such successor. After such Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the
benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as such Agent. 
 Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Article shall also constitute its resignation as Issuing Bank and Swingline
Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank and
Swingline Lender, (ii) the retiring Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue
letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank
with respect to such Letters of Credit. 
 Each Lender and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon
any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own
decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this any Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished thereunder. 
 In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether
the principal of any Loan or LC Exposure shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to (a) file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Exposures and all other Obligations that are owing and
unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Agents under Sections 2.05(e) and 2.12) allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (b) collect and
receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Lender and the Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, to pay to the Administrative
Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 2.12. 
  

 -111- 

 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize any Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or
adopt on behalf of any Lender or the Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect
of the claim of any Lender or the Issuing Bank or in any such proceeding. 
 To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative
Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent
did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the
Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has
not already been reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Taxes or
otherwise, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the
amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the institutions identified as an Arranger, Joint Bookrunning Manager, Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or
responsibilities under any Loan Document, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder. 
 SECTION 8.02 Parallel Debt. 
 For
purposes of any Foreign Pledge Agreements only: 
 (i) The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the
Collateral Agent an amount equal to the aggregate of all Obligations to the Administrative Agent, all the Lenders and the Issuing Bank from time to time due in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (such payment undertaking and
the obligations and liabilities which are the result thereof are referred to as “Parallel Debt”). 
 (ii)
Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges that (i) the Parallel Debt of the Borrower constitutes undertakings, obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to the Collateral Agent which are separate and independent from, and without
prejudice to, the Obligations which the Borrower owes to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or Issuing Bank and (ii) that the Parallel Debt represents the Collateral Agent’s own claim to receive payment of such Parallel Debt by the
Borrower; provided that the total amount which may become due under the Parallel Debt of the Borrower under this paragraph shall never exceed the total amount which may become due under all the Obligations of the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent, all the Lenders and the Issuing Bank. 
  

 -112- 

 (iii) (A) The total amount due by the Borrower as the Parallel Debt under this
paragraph shall be decreased to the extent that the Borrower shall have irrevocably and unconditionally paid any amounts to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank or any of them to reduce the Borrower’s outstanding
Obligations or the Administrative Agent, any Lender or Issuing Bank otherwise receives any amount in irrevocable and unconditional payment of such Obligations (other than by virtue of subclause (B) below), in each case, as if such amount were
received as a payment of the Parallel Debt on the date of receipt of such amounts by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Bank or any of them; and 
 (B) To the extent that the Borrower shall have irrevocably and unconditionally paid any amounts to the Collateral Agent under the Parallel
Debt or the Collateral Agent shall have otherwise received monies in irrevocable and unconditional payment of such Parallel Debt, the total amount due under the Obligations shall be decreased as if such amount were received as a payment of the
Obligations on the date of receipt of such amounts by the Collateral Agent. 
 To the extent the Collateral Agent irrevocably receives any
amount in payment of the Parallel Debt, the Collateral Agent shall distribute such amount among the Secured Parties in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Collateral Agreement. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank
and each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that (i) any irrevocable payment in respect of the Parallel Debt shall fully satisfy the Borrower’s obligations with respect to the amount of such payment under both the Parallel Debt and the
Obligations even if the Collateral Agent shall fail to distribute such payment in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph and (ii) any irrevocable payment in respect of the Obligations shall fully satisfy the Borrower’s
obligations with respect to the amount of such payment under both the Obligations and the Parallel Debt. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 8.02, or any provision of the Foreign Pledge Agreements, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and each of the Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the aggregate amount of the
Parallel Debt secured by the Foreign Pledge Agreements shall in no event exceed the aggregate amount payable in respect of the Obligations (as reduced in accordance with this Section 8.02), (ii) the Borrower and the Guarantors,
collectively, shall in no event be required to make payments in respect of the Obligations that, in the aggregate, exceed the Parallel Debt and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders,
collectively, shall not make claims in respect of the Obligations owed to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders that, in the aggregate, exceed the Parallel Debt (as reduced in accordance with this
Section 8.02). 
 For purposes of any Foreign Pledge Agreements only: 
 (i) Each party hereto agrees that the Collateral Agent: 
 (A) will be the joint and several creditor (together with the relevant Administrative Agent, Lenders and/or the Issuing Bank) of each and
every obligation of the Borrower towards the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank under this Agreement; and 
  

 -113- 

 (B) will have its own independent right to demand performance by the Borrower of those
obligations. 
 (ii) Discharge by the Borrower of any obligation owed to the Administrative Agent, another Lender or the
Issuing Bank shall, to the same extent, discharge the corresponding obligation owing to the other. 
 (iii) Without limiting
or affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights against the Borrower (whether under this Article VIII or under any other provision of the Credit Agreement), the Collateral Agent agrees with the Administrative Agent, each other Lender and the Issuing
Bank (on a several and divided basis) that, subject to paragraph (iv) below, it will not exercise its rights as a joint and several creditor with the Administrative Agent, any Lender or an Issuing Bank except with the consent of the relevant
Administrative Agent, Lenders or Issuing Bank. 
 (iv) Nothing in clause (iii) above shall in any way limit the
Collateral Agent’s right to act in the protection or preservation of rights under or to enforce any Foreign Pledge Agreement as contemplated by this Agreement and/or the relevant Foreign Pledge Agreement (or to do any act reasonably incidental
to any of the above). 
 ARTICLE IX  
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 SECTION 9.01 Notices. Except in the case of notices and other communications
expressly permitted to be given by telephone, all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopy, as
follows: 
 (a) if to the Borrower, to it at 9600 Blackwell Road, Rockville, Maryland 20850, Attention of General Counsel
(Telecopy No. (301) 978-8472); 
 (b) if to the Administrative Agent, to the Administrative Agent’s Office;

 (c) if to an Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender other than the Administrative Agent, to it at the address or telecopy number
set forth separately in writing; and 
 (d) if to any other Lender, to it at its address (or telecopy number) set forth in its
Administrative Questionnaire. 
 Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by
notice to the other parties hereto. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereunder may also be delivered or furnished by electronic 

  

 -114- 

 
communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the
foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Article II if such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by
electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that
approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of
receipt. 
 THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE
ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event
shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials 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 Party; provided, however, that in no event
shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages). 
 SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments. 
 (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or
power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or
the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
  

 -115- 

 Except as provided in Section 2.20 with respect to any Incremental Facility Amendment, neither any
Loan Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other
Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders, provided that no
such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, LC Disbursement or LC Advance or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any
fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the maturity of any Loan, or the date of any scheduled payment of the principal amount of any Term Loan under Section 2.10 or the
applicable Incremental Facility Amendment, or the required date of reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone
the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) alter the manner in which payments or prepayments of principal, interest or other amounts hereunder shall be applied as among
the Lenders or Types of Loans or change Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, in each case without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby,
(v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Required Revolving Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or
percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case
may be) (it being understood that, other than pursuant to any Incremental Facility Amendment (the consent requirements for which are set forth in Section 2.20), with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant
to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Term Loans and Revolving Commitments on the date hereof), (vi) release any material Subsidiary Loan Party from its Guarantee
under the Collateral Agreement (except as expressly provided in the Collateral Agreement), or limit its liability in respect of such Guarantee, without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) release all or substantially all the Collateral
from the Liens of the Security Documents, without the written consent of each Lender, (viii) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding
Loans of any Class differently than those holding Loans of any other Class, without the written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each affected Class or (ix) modify the
protections afforded to an SPV pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.04(e) without the written consent of such SPV; provided further that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of
the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of
this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any 

  

 -116- 

 
other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class
of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the election of the Borrower to switch from GAAP to IFRS this
Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with only the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Subsidiary Loan Parties (and not any other Lender or the Required Lenders) to eliminate any changes to the meaning of this Agreement
as a result of such election. 
 (b) In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed
Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders (and, to the extent any Proposed Change requires the consent of Lenders holding Loans of any Class pursuant to clause (v) or
(viii) of paragraph (a) of this Section, the consent of a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of such Class) to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders
whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (b) of this Section being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, the Borrower may, at its sole expense
and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all
its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (a) the Borrower shall have received
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (b) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have
received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and LC Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and
accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (c) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b). 
 SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 
 (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for
the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of
Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for
the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters
of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. 
  

 -117- 

 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and
each Lender, each Arranger, each Joint Bookrunning Manager, the Syndication Agent and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless
from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the
Borrower or any Subsidiary arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents
of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank
to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous
Materials on, at, to or from any Mortgaged Property or any other property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any other Environmental Liability related in any material respect to the Borrower or any
Subsidiary, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any
Subsidiary and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction by final judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any affiliates controlled by such Indemnified Party or any of their respective Related Parties. 

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Issuing
Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section but without affecting the Borrower’s obligations thereunder, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro
rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the aggregate Revolving Exposures, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time such indemnity or reimbursement is sought; provided that for purposes of indemnifying
the Issuing Bank hereunder a Lender’s “pro rata share” will be based on the proportionate amount of the aggregate Revolver Exposure. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the second sentence of
Section 2.02 (which shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Lenders’ obligations under this paragraph (c)). 
 (d) To the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, 

  

 -118- 

 
indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document
or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than five Business Days after written demand therefor. 
 SECTION
9.04 Successors and Assigns. 
 (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any
Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this
Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of (A) the Borrower,
provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee, (B) the
Administrative Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund and
(C) the Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, provided that no consent of the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan or Term Commitment. 
 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender
or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the
trade date specified in the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment or, if no trade date is so specified, as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall
not be less than $2,500,000 or, in the case of a Term Loan and/or Term Commitment, $1,000,000, unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no such
consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (B) each partial 

  

 -119- 

 
assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
provided that this clause (B) shall not be construed to prohibit assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans (it being understood that the
OMX Delayed Draw Tranche A Commitments, PHLX Delayed Draw Tranche A Commitments and the Tranche A Term Loans of each Lender shall be assigned in the same proportion as such Commitments and Tranche A Term Loans are held by the assigning Lender),
(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in an amount of $3,500 (it being understood that the Administrative Agent may
elect, in its sole discretion, to waive such processing and recordation fee for any assignment and only one such Fee shall be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments to or by two or more Approved Funds); provided that assignments
made pursuant to Section 2.19(b) or Section 9.02(b) shall not require the signature of the assigning Lender to become effective, and (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 2.17(e). 
 For purposes of paragraph (b) of this Section, the
terms “Approved Fund” and “CLO” have the following meanings: 
 “Approved Fund” means
(a) a CLO and (b) with respect to any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit, any other fund that invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit and is managed by the same investment
advisor as such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor. 
 “CLO” means an entity (whether a
corporation, partnership, trust or otherwise) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its activities and is administered or managed by a Lender or
an Affiliate of such Lender. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, from and
after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under
this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all
of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and to any fees payable hereunder that
have accrued for such Lender’s account but have not yet been paid). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a
sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c)(i) of this Section. 
 (iv) The
Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders,
and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements and interest thereon owing 

  

 -120- 

 
to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (v) Promptly upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s
completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 2.17(e) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written
consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for
purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 
 (vi) The words
“execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or 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. 
 (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to
one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it), provided
that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which
a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to
paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17, subject to the requirements and limitations therein (provided that such Participant agrees to be
subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also
shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting
solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register 

  

 -121- 

 
on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans
or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the
owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. 
 (ii) A Participant shall not be
entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to
such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 
 (d) Any Lender may at
any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall
not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for
such Lender as a party hereto. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting
Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower
all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and
(ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall
utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this
Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year
and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, such party will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without
the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by
the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its
Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV. Each party hereto hereby agrees that an SPV shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and
2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein), but neither the grant to any SPV nor the exercise by any SPV of such option shall increase the costs

or expenses or otherwise increase the obligations of the Borrower under such Sections unless the grant to the SPV was made with the Borrower’s prior
written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), 
 (f) The Collateral Agent shall be notified of any assignment or
participation pursuant to this Section and any such assignment or participation shall include a transfer of a proportional interest under any Foreign Pledge Agreement governed by Swedish law. 
 (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender assigns all of its Revolving
Commitments and Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 9.04(b), such Issuing Bank may, (i) upon 30 days’ written notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as Issuing Bank and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ written notice to the
Borrower, resign as Swingline Lender. In the event of any such resignation as Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder; provided,
however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the resigning Person as Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be. If any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender resigns as Issuing
Bank, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Bank and all LC Exposures with respect
thereto. If any Person resigns as Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation. Upon the
appointment of a successor Issuing Bank and/or Swingline Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be,
and (b) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the retrieving Person to
effectively assume the obligations of the resigning Person with respect to such Letters of Credit. 
 SECTION 9.05 Survival. All
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to any Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied
upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and
notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and
effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or
terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or
termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
  

 -123- 

 SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate
letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the syndication of the Loans and Commitments constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Article IV, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative
Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the Issuing Bank and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or
the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or the Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall have made
any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness. The
applicable Lender and the Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such setoff and application, provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such
setoff and application under this Section. The rights of each Lender, the Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the Issuing
Bank and their respective Affiliates may have.

law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally
and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of
the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
 (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in any Loan
Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 
 SECTION 9.10
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT

convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below) and neither
use nor disclose such Information, except that Information may be used by such Person in evaluating the credit worthiness of the Borrower or in providing financial services to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and may be disclosed (a) to its
Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential

their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. 
 For purposes of this Section,
“Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof, provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party or any such Subsidiary
after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its
obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
 Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information
concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with

Disbursement or participation therein in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent
lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or LC Disbursement or participation therein but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges
payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or LC Disbursement or participation therein or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds
Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. 
  

 -126- 

 SECTION 9.14 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the
requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes
the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. 
 SECTION 9.15 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the credit facilities provided for hereunder and any
related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrower and its
Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, on the other hand, and the Borrower is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated
hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers each is and has been
acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) neither the Administrative Agent nor either Arranger
has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other
modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or either Arranger has advised or is currently advising the Borrower or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and neither the Administrative Agent
nor either Arranger has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (iv) the Administrative
Agent and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor either Arranger has
any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax
advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to
the extent it has deemed appropriate. The Borrower hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent and each Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of
agency or fiduciary duty. 
 SECTION 9.16 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary
to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency
with 

  

 -127- 

 
such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from
it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with
the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged
to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency
so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative
Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). 
 SECTION 9.17 Release of Collateral. 
 (a) Partial Release of Collateral. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 9.17(a), upon the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any item of Collateral of any Loan Party (including, without limitation, as a result
of the sale, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, of a Subsidiary Loan Party that owns such Collateral, but excluding Asset Sales among Loan Parties) or upon the liquidation or dissolution of any Subsidiary whose Equity Interests have
been pledged under any Security Document in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest in any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.02 hereto, the
security interest created in such item of Collateral or the Equity Interests of such liquidated or dissolved Subsidiary, as applicable, under the Security Documents shall be automatically released and the Collateral Agent will, at the
Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to such Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral or Equity Interests from the assignment and security interest granted under
the Security Documents in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and, if applicable, the release of such Subsidiary Loan Party from its obligations under the Collateral Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, subject to the last
sentence of this Section 9.17(a), in the event of a transfer by Borrower of any assets to a Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Loan Party in accordance with the terms hereof, the security interest granted pursuant to the Collateral Agreement
in such assets shall be immediately released, and the Collateral Agent shall, after receipt of written notice two Business Days prior to such transfer, make available to Borrower at least one Business Day prior to the date of such transfer, at
Borrower’s expense, any instruments as may be reasonably requested to evidence such release. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, no release of any security interest in any assets subject to a
Foreign Pledge Agreement governed by the laws of Sweden shall be permitted except in accordance with the terms of such Foreign Pledge Agreement. 
  

 -128- 

 (b) Release of Liens. Upon the payment in full of all Obligations and the termination of all the
Commitments, the Agents shall take such action as may be required by the Borrower, at the expense of the Borrower, to release the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
