 W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Lenders provide credit to the Borrower, and the Lenders are willing to do so on the terms
and conditions set forth herein; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED THAT in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
herein contained, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS 

1.1 Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the terms listed in this Section 1.1 shall have the respective meanings set
forth in this Section 1.1. 
 “ABR”: for any day, a rate per annum equal to the
greatest of (a) the Base Rate in effect on such day; (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus
 1/2 of 1%; and (c) the Eurodollar Base Rate
for a Eurodollar Loan with a one-month Interest Period commencing on such day plus the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans. For purposes hereof, “Base Rate” shall mean the rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time
to time by the Administrative Agent as its base rate in effect at its principal office in Charlotte, North Carolina (the Base Rate not being intended to be the lowest rate of interest charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with extensions
of credit to debtors). Any change in the ABR due to a change in the Base Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Eurodollar Base Rate shall be effective as of the opening of business on the effective day of such change in the Base Rate, the
Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Eurodollar Base Rate, respectively. 
 “ABR Loans”: Loans the rate
of interest applicable to which is based upon the ABR. 
 “Act”: as defined in Section 9.16. 

“Administrative Agent”: as defined in the preamble hereto. 

“Agents”: the collective reference to the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agents and the Administrative Agent.

 “Agreement”: as defined in the preamble hereto. 

“Applicable Margin”: for any day, the applicable rate per annum set forth under the relevant column heading below, based
upon the Ratings then in effect:

Loans
	  	 Applicable Margin

for

Eurodollar Loans

	 1
	  	A/A2 or higher	  	0%	  	1.325%
	 2
	  	A-/A3	  	0%	  	1.550%
	 3
	  	BBB+/Baa1	  	0%	  	1.750%
	 4
	  	BBB/Baa2	  	0%	  	1.875%
	 5
	  	BBB-/Baa3 or lower	  	0%	  	2.000%

 Subject to the provisions of this
paragraph regarding split ratings, changes in the Applicable Margins shall become effective on the date on which S&P and/or Moody’s changes its relevant Rating. In the event the Ratings of S&P and Moody’s are in different levels
set forth in the grid above, the higher of the two Ratings (i.e., the Rating set forth in the grid above opposite the lower numerical level number) shall govern. In the event that, at any time, a Rating is not available from one of such
rating agencies, the Applicable Margins shall be determined on the basis of the Rating from the other rating agency. In the event that, at any time, Ratings from each such rating agency are not available for companies generally, the Applicable
Margins shall be determined on the basis of the last Rating(s) made available. In the event that, at any time, such Ratings are not available for the Borrower but are generally available for other companies, then the Applicable Margins shall be
those set forth above opposite level 5.

the right to acquire by conversion or exercise of other securities, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only upon the occurrence of a subsequent condition. The terms “Beneficially Owns” and “Beneficially
Owned” have correlative meanings.

consents and waivers required or requested under this Agreement with respect to its Conduit Lender, and provided, further, that no Conduit Lender shall (a) be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to

providing rate quotations comparable to those currently provided on such page of such service, as determined by the Administrative Agent from time to time for purposes of providing quotations of interest rates applicable to Dollar deposits in the

	 	BBB-/Baa3 or lower	 	0.500%

 Subject to the provisions of this
paragraph regarding split ratings, changes in the Facility Fee Rate shall become effective on the date on which S&P and/or Moody’s changes its relevant Rating. In the event the Ratings of S&P and Moody’s are in different levels set
forth in the grid above, the higher of the two Ratings (i.e., the Rating set forth in the grid above opposite the lower numerical level number) shall govern. In the event that, at any time, a Rating is not available from one of such rating
agencies, the Facility Fee Rate shall be determined on the basis of the Rating from the other rating agency. In the event that, at any time, Ratings from each such rating agency are not available for companies generally, the Facility Fee Rate shall
be determined on the basis of the last Rating(s) made available. In the event that, at any time, such Ratings are not available for the Borrower but are generally available for other companies, then the Facility Fee Rate shall be that set forth
above opposite level 5. 
 “Federal Funds Effective Rate”: for any day, the weighted average of the rates

 “FPA”: the Federal Power Act, as amended, and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder. 
 “Fronting Exposure”: at any time there is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting

“Funding Office”: the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 9.2 or such other office as may be
specified from time to time by the Administrative Agent as its funding office by written notice to the Borrower and the Lenders. 

“GAAP”: generally accepted accounting principles in the United States as in effect from time to time, except as noted
below. In the event that any “Change in Accounting Principles” (as defined below) shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement, then, upon the

(“Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time on or after the Effective Date and during the Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which, when added to an amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding multiplied by such Lender’s Percentage, does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided that, (x) subject to Section 9.1, the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of all Loans, the proceeds of which were used for activities other than energy procurement, may not at any time exceed the Non-Procurement Facility Limit and (y) after giving effect to the Revolving Loans requested to be made,
the aggregate amount of the Available Commitments shall not be less than zero. During the Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance
with the terms and conditions hereof. The Revolving Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.9. 

(b) The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Revolving Loans on the Termination Date. 

2.2 Procedure for Revolving Loan Borrowing. The Borrower may borrow under the Commitments during the Commitment Period on any
Business Day, provided that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent (a) prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior to the

the Borrower, borrowings under the Commitments that are ABR Loans in other amounts pursuant to Section 2.5. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Each Lender will
make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in
funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made
available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. 
 2.3
Commitment Increases. 
 (a) In the event that the Borrower wishes to increase the Total Commitments at
any time when no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (or shall result of such increase) and subject to obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals, it shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing, given not more
frequently than once a calendar year, of the amount (the “Revolving Credit Offered Increase Amount”) of such proposed increase (such notice, a “Commitment Increase Notice”) which shall be in a minimum amount equal
to $10,000,000 and 
  

 16 

 
shall not exceed, in the aggregate for all increases, $250,000,000. The Borrower shall offer each of the Lenders the opportunity to provide such Lender’s Percentage of the Revolving Credit
Offered Increase Amount, and if any Lender declines such offer, in whole or in part, the Borrower may offer such declined amount to (i) other Lenders and/or (ii) other banks, financial institutions or other entities with the consent of the
Administrative Agent (which consent of the Administrative Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Commitment Increase Notice shall specify the Lenders and/or banks, financial institutions or other entities that will be requested to
provide such Revolving Credit Offered Increase Amount. The Borrower or, if requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent will notify such Lenders, and/or banks, financial institutions or other entities of such offer. 

(b) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity which the Borrower selects to offer a portion of the
increased Total Commitments and which elects to become a party to this Agreement and obtain a Commitment in an amount so offered and accepted by it pursuant to Section 2.3(a) shall execute a new lender supplement (the “New Lender
Supplement”) with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit A, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other entity (herein called a “New Revolving Credit Lender”) shall
become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, provided that the Commitment of any such New Revolving Credit Lender shall be in an
amount not less than $5,000,000. 
 (c) Any Lender which accepts an offer to it by the Borrower to increase its
Commitment pursuant to Section 2.3(a) shall, in each case, execute a Commitment Increase Supplement with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit B, whereupon such Lender shall be bound by and
entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to the full amount of its Commitment as so increased. 

(d) If any bank, financial institution or other entity becomes a New Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to
Section 2.3(b) or any Lender’s Commitment is increased pursuant to Section 2.3(c), additional Revolving Loans made on or after the effectiveness thereof (the “Revolving Credit Re-Allocation Date”) shall be made pro
rata based on the Percentages in effect on and after such Revolving Credit Re-Allocation Date (except to the extent that any such pro rata borrowings would result in any Lender making an aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans in
excess of its Commitment, in which case such excess amount will be allocated to, and made by, such New Revolving Credit Lenders and/or Lenders with such increased Commitments to the extent of, and pro rata based on, their respective
Commitments otherwise available for Revolving Loans), and continuations of Eurodollar Loans outstanding on such Revolving Credit Re-Allocation Date shall be effected by repayment of such Eurodollar Loans on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto and the making of new Eurodollar Loans pro rata based on such new Percentages. In the event that on any such Revolving Credit Re-Allocation Date there is an unpaid principal amount of ABR Loans, the Borrower shall make
prepayments thereof and borrowings of ABR Loans so that, after giving effect thereto, the ABR Loans outstanding are held pro rata based on such new Percentages. In the event that on any such Revolving Credit Re-Allocation Date there is an
unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Loans, such Eurodollar Loans shall remain outstanding with the respective holders thereof until the expiration of their respective Interest Periods (unless the Borrower elects to prepay any thereof in accordance
with the applicable provisions of this Agreement), and interest on and repayments of such Eurodollar Loans will be paid thereon to the respective Lenders holding such Eurodollar Loans pro rata based on the respective principal amounts thereof
outstanding. 
  

 17 

 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.3,
(i) no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion and unless the Administrative Agent consents to such increase (which consent of the Administrative Agent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (ii) in no event shall any transaction effected pursuant to this Section 2.3 (A) cause the Total Commitments to exceed $1,000,000,000 or (B) occur at a time at which a Default or an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing.

Revolving Credit Re-Allocation Date, for the benefit of the Lenders, (i) a legal opinion of counsel to the Borrower covering such matters as are customary for transactions of this type as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent,
which opinions shall be substantially the same, to the extent appropriate, as the opinions rendered by counsel to the Borrower on the Effective Date and (ii) certified copies of resolutions of the board of directors of the Borrower authorizing
the Borrower to borrow the Revolving Credit Offered Increase Amount.

loans (“Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the
Swingline Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swingline Lender’s other outstanding Revolving Loans, may exceed the Swingline Commitment or the Swingline Lender’s Commitment then in effect) and (ii) the Borrower
shall not request, and the Swingline Lender shall not make, any Swingline Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swingline Loan, (x) the aggregate amount of the Available Commitments would be less than zero or (y) subject to
Section 9.1, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans, the proceeds of which were used for activities other than energy procurement, would exceed the Non-Procurement Facility Limit. During the Commitment Period, the Borrower may
use the Swingline Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Swingline Loans shall be ABR Loans only. 

(b) The Borrower shall repay to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on or prior
to the date that is the earlier of (i) 30 days after the date such Swingline Loan is made and (ii) the Termination Date; provided that on each date on which a Revolving Loan is borrowed, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline
Loans then outstanding. 
 2.5 Procedure for Swingline Borrowing; Refunding of Swingline Loans. (a) Whenever the
Borrower wishes to borrow Swingline Loans, it shall give the Swingline Lender irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City
time, on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the Commitment Period). Each borrowing under the Swingline Commitment shall be in
an amount equal to $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Not later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in a notice in respect of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender shall make available to the Administrative
Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by the Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower on
such Borrowing Date by depositing such proceeds in the account of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date in immediately available funds. 

 

 18 

 (b) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and
absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), on one Business Day’s notice given by the Swingline Lender no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, request
each Lender to make, and each Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan, in an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the
date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City
time, one Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender for application by the Swingline Lender to the repayment of the
Refunded Swingline Loans. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such
Refunded Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swingline Loans. 

(c) If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.5(b), one of the
events described in Section 7(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving Loans may not be made as contemplated by
Section 2.5(b), each Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.5(b), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans by
paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Lender’s Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding
that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans. 
 (d) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender
has received from any Lender such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swingline Participation Amount
(appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such
Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the
Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender. 

(e) Each Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.5(b) and to purchase participating
interests pursuant to Section 2.5(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or the Borrower may have
against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 4,
(iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower or any other Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 
  

 19 

 2.6 Facility Fees, etc. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee for the period from and including the date hereof to the last day of the Commitment Period, computed at the Facility Fee Rate on the Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is
made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. In addition, if the principal amount of any Loan shall remain outstanding and unpaid after the last day of the Commitment
Period, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a facility fee for the period from the last day of the Commitment Period until the date on which such amounts are repaid in full, computed at the
Facility Fee Rate on such amounts, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date after the last day of the Commitment Period. 

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in any
written, duly executed fee agreements with the Administrative Agent and to perform any other obligations contained therein. 

2.7 Termination or Reduction of Commitments; Extension of Termination Date. (a) The Borrower shall have the right, upon not
less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Commitments shall be
permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an
amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Commitments then in effect. 

(b) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (such notice being an “Extension
Notice”) given (i) no more frequently than once in each calendar year, on not more than on two occasions and (iii) not less than 35 days prior to the applicable Termination Date, request the Lenders to consider an extension of the
then applicable Termination Date to a later date not more than 364 days after the then current Termination Date. The Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit any Extension Notice to each Lender. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent
whether it wishes to extend the then applicable Termination Date not later than 30 days after the date of such Extension Notice, and any such notice given by a Lender to the Administrative Agent, once given, shall be irrevocable as to such
Lender. Any Lender which does not expressly notify the Administrative Agent prior to the expiration of such thirty-day period that it wishes to so extend the then applicable Termination Date shall be deemed to have rejected the Borrower’s
request for extension of such Termination Date. Lenders consenting to extend the then applicable Termination Date are hereinafter referred to as “Continuing Lenders”, and Lenders declining to consent to extend such Termination Date
(or Lenders deemed to have so declined) are hereinafter referred to as “Non-Extending Lenders”. If the Required Lenders have elected (in their sole and absolute discretion) to so extend the Termination Date, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify the Borrower of such election by the Required Lenders, and effective on the date which is 30 days after the date of such notice by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, the Termination Date shall be automatically and
immediately so extended with regard to Continuing Lenders. No extension will be permitted hereunder without the consent of the Required Lenders. Upon the delivery of an Extension Notice and upon the extension of the Termination Date pursuant to this
Section, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted on and as of the date of such Extension Notice and the effective date of such extension, as the case may be, that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation to extend the Termination 

 

 20 

 
Date, and each Lender may at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to extend the Termination Date. 

(c) If the Termination Date shall have been extended in accordance with this Section, all references herein to the
“Termination Date” (except with respect to any Non-Extending Lender) shall refer to the Termination Date as so extended. 

(d) If any Lender shall determine (or be deemed to have determined) not to extend the Termination Date as requested by any
Extension Notice given by the Borrower pursuant to this Section, the Commitment of such Non-Extending Lender (including the obligations of such Lender under Section 2.5 and 3.4) shall terminate on the Termination Date without giving any effect
to such proposed extension, and the Borrower shall on such date pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Non-Extending Lender, the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, such Non-Extending Lender’s Loans, together with
any amounts payable to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 and any and all fees or other amounts owing to such Non-Extending Lender under this Agreement; provided that if the Borrower has replaced such Non-Extending Lender pursuant to
paragraph (e) below then the provisions of such paragraph shall apply. The Total Commitments shall be reduced by the amount of the Commitment of such Non-Extending Lender to the extent the Commitment of such Non-Extending Lender has not
been transferred to one or more Continuing Lenders pursuant to paragraph (e) below. 
 (e) A Non-Extending
Lender shall be obligated, at the request of the Borrower and subject to (i) payment by the successor Lender described below to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Non-Extending Lender of the principal amount of, and accrued
interest on, such Non-Extending Lender’s Loans, and (ii) payment by the Borrower to such Non-Extending Lender of any amounts payable to such Non-Extending Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 (as if the purchase of such Non-Extending
Lender’s Loans constituted a prepayment thereof) and any and all fees or other amounts owing to such Non-Extending Lender under this Agreement, to transfer without recourse, representation, warranty (other than a representation that such Lender
has not created an adverse claim on its Loans) or expense to such Non-Extending Lender, at any time prior to the Termination Date applicable to such Non-Extending Lender, all of such Non-Extending Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder to
another financial institution or group of financial institutions nominated by the Borrower and willing to participate as a successor Lender in the place of such Non-Extending Lender; provided that, if such transferee is not already a Lender,
(1) such transferee satisfies all the requirements of this Agreement, and (2) the Administrative Agent shall have consented to such transfer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Each such transferee successor
Lender shall be deemed to be a Continuing Lender hereunder in replacement of the transferor Non-Extending Lender and shall enjoy all rights and assume all obligations on the part of such Non-Extending Lender set forth in this Agreement. Each such
transfer shall be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption. 
 (f) If the Termination Date shall have
been extended in respect of Continuing Lenders in accordance with this Section, any notice of borrowing pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.5 specifying a Borrowing Date occurring after the Termination Date applicable to a Non-Extending Lender or
requesting an Interest Period extending beyond such date shall (i) have no effect in respect of such Non-Extending Lender and (ii) not specify a requested aggregate principal amount exceeding the aggregate Available Commitments (calculated
on the basis of the Commitments of the Continuing Lenders). 
  

 21 

 (g) At any time after a Lender has become a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower
may (i) reduce the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment to be equal to the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s outstanding Loans (and participations in Swingline Loans) at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, by giving notice to
such Defaulting Lender and the Administrative Agent (provided that concurrently with such reduction, the Total Commitments shall be reduced by the amount by which such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment is reduced) or (ii) terminate in full
the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender by giving notice to such Defaulting Lender and the Administrative Agent; provided that (1) at the time of any such termination pursuant to clause (ii), no Default or Event of Default exists (or,
if a Default or Event of Default exists, the Required Lenders consent to such termination); (2) concurrently with such termination (A) the Total Commitments shall be reduced by the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender (it being understood
that the Borrower may not terminate the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender to the extent that, after giving effect to such termination, the Total Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Commitments) and (B) the Borrower shall pay all amounts
owed to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (subject to Section 2.20(c)) less the Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the amount (if any) of any breakage costs expected to be incurred by the Borrower as a result of the events or circumstances
pursuant to which such Lender became a Defaulting Lender (which estimate shall be conclusive, absent manifest error). The Borrower agrees to return to such Defaulting Lender the excess (if any) of its reasonable estimate of the amount of any
breakage costs over the actual amount of such breakage costs. The termination of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.7(g) shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any right that (x) the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or (y) such Defaulting Lender may have against the Borrower based on the estimate described in the preceding sentence. 

2.8 Prepayments. (a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without
premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, one
Business Day prior thereto, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans; provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other
than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.17. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If
any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans and Swingline Loans) accrued interest to such date on the
amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Revolving Loans which shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount
of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof. 
 (b) If a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender at a time when Swingline
Loans are outstanding and such occurrence results in the existence of Fronting Exposure, then the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within three Business Days), prepay Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such Fronting Exposure. Except
for the mandatory nature thereof, any prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.8(b) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.8(a); provided that such prepayment may be in the amount needed to eliminate the Fronting Exposure.

  

 22 

 2.9 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to
time to convert Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date, provided that
any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior
irrevocable notice of such election no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that
no ABR Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Required Lenders have determined in their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. 
 (b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be
continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest
Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
Required Lenders have determined in their sole discretion not to permit such continuations, and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation
is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
relevant Lender thereof. 
 2.10 Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal
amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than 15 Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time. 

2.11 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period
with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin. 

(b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin. 

(c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a default rate per annum equal to in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section
plus 2%, (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or any facility fee, or any other fee payable (excluding any expenses or other indemnity) hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a default rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans plus 2%, in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such
non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment). Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, 
  

 23 

 
provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand. 

2.12 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a
360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Base Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be)
day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in
the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant
Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate. 
 (b) Each determination of
an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall constitute prima facie evidence of such amounts. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower or any Lender, deliver to the Borrower or
such Lender a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.11(a). 

2.13 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period: 

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower)
that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or 

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate determined or
to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period, 

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If
such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar
Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further
Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans to Eurodollar Loans. 

2.14 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments; Notes. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by
the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Percentages of the Lenders. 

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving
Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Lenders. 
  

 24 

 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all payments (including
prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 4:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to
the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If
any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and
payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall
be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. 

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such
Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender
shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under
this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the
Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans from the Borrower within 30 days after written demand therefor. 

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment
due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be
required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after
such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the
daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower. 

(f) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will promptly
execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note (a “Note”) of the Borrower evidencing any Revolving Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit H, with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount;
provided, that delivery of 
  

 25 

 
Notes shall not be a condition precedent to the occurrence of the Effective Date or the making of Loans on the Effective Date. 

2.15 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or
application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof: 

(i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Eurodollar Loan made
by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes covered by Section 2.16 and net income taxes and franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes);

 (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar
requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the
determination of the Eurodollar Rate, which requirements are generally applicable to loans made by such Lender; or 

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition that is generally applicable to loans made by such Lender;

 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender deems to be material, of making,
converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, within ten Business Days after its demand, any
additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled; provided, however, that no Lender shall be entitled to demand such compensation more than 90 days following (x) the last day of the
Interest Period in respect of which such demand is made or (y) the repayment of the Loan or Swingline Loan in respect of which such demand is made. 

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital
adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental
Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such
corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then
from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or
such corporation for such reduction. 
 (c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this
Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall constitute 
  

 26 

 
prima facie evidence of such costs or amounts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any
amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive
effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect not to exceed twelve months. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive for 90 days after the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts then due and payable hereunder. 
 2.16 Taxes. (a) All
payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or
withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding (i) net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any
Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than
any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document) and (ii) any branch
profits tax imposed by the United States. If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable
to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded
Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with
respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section or (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts
payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to
such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph. 
 (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or
Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of any original
official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. 

(d) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code
(a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal
Revenue Service Form 
  

 27 

 
W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of
“portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit G and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non U.S. Lender claiming complete
exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to
this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form
previously delivered by such Non U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of
certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non U.S. Lender is not
legally able to deliver; provided, however, if any Non-U.S. Lender fails to file forms with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, with the Lender from which the related participation was
purchased) on or before the date the Non-U.S. Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchased the related participation) entitling the Non-U.S. Lender to a complete
exemption from United States withholding taxes at such time, such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to receive any increased payments from the Borrower with respect to United States withholding taxes under paragraph (a) of this Section,
except to the extent that the Non-U.S. Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of the assignment to the Non-U.S. Lender, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to United States withholding taxes. 

(e) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the
jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided
that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender. 

(f) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any
Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, 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 2.16 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent 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 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 or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to
repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any 

 

 28 

 
Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 

(g) The agreements in this Section shall survive for one year after the termination of this Agreement and the payment of
the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 2.17 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for,
and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss (other than the loss of Applicable Margin) or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or
continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after
the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. A certificate as to
any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive for 90 days after the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the
Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 2.18 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the
occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.15 or 2.16(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate
another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole but reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such
Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no unreimbursed economic disadvantage or any legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the
Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16(a). 
 2.19 Replacement of Lenders. The
Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests (on its behalf or any of its Participants) reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16(a) or (b) becomes a Defaulting Lender, with a replacement
financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such
replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.18 which eliminates the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at
par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.17 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall
be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender
shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such time as
such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16(a), as the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights
that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. 
  

 29 

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

(a) any payment of principal or other amounts (other than those described in Section 2.20(b)) received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 7 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender
pursuant to Section 9.7), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;
second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Swingline Lender, to be held as cash
collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swingline Loan; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of
which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Borrower with the consent of the Administrative Agent, not to be
unreasonably withheld, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders
or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this
Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender
as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of
the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to
the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this
Section 2.20(a) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto; 

(b) that Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive (i) any facility fee pursuant to Section 2.6(a) for any
period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to the sum of (1) the outstanding principal amount of Loans funded by it and (2) the principal amount of the Swingline Loans for which it has provided cash
collateral pursuant to 2.20(a) (and the Borrower shall (x) be required to pay to the Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of such fee allocable to its fronting of Extensions of Credit arising from that Defaulting Lender and (y) not
be required to pay the remaining amount of such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (ii) interest on Loans funded by such Lender prior to the period in which such Lender became a
Defaulting Lender or during the period in which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender; 
 (c) during any period in
which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or 

 

 30 

 
fund participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.5, the Percentage of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting
Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each
non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate outstanding Loans of that
Lender; and 
 (d) that Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, supplement,
modification, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.1. 
 If the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and Swingline Lender reasonably determine in writing that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date
specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may
determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.20(c)), whereupon that
Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided,
further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s
having been a Defaulting Lender. 
 Cash collateral held by the Administrative Agent to reduce Fronting Exposure shall be released to the
applicable Lender promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its
assignee following compliance with Section 9.6)); (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess cash collateral; and (iii) the termination of the Commitment Period and the repayment in full of
all outstanding Loans. 
 SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans, the Borrower hereby represents and
warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, on the Effective Date and, except as provided in Section 4.2(a), on the date of each Credit Event hereunder after the Effective Date, that: 

3.1 Financial Condition. The audited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statement of operations and cash flows for the fiscal year ended on such date, reported on by Deloitte & Touche LLP, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial
condition of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal year then ended. All such financial statements, including the
related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved. 
  

 31 

 3.2 No Change. Since December 31, 2009, there has been no development or event
that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, except as disclosed in the Specified Exchange Act Filings. 

3.3 Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Borrower and its Significant Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (b) has the corporate power and corporate authority to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in
which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other organization and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business
requires such qualification except to the extent that the failure to so qualify could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to
comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 3.4 Power;
Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. The Borrower has the corporate power and corporate authority to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents and to obtain extensions of credit hereunder. The Borrower has taken all necessary corporate
action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in
respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents
(other than the Indenture), except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices which have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) any consent, authorization or filing that may be required in the future the
failure of which to make or obtain could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (iii) applicable regulatory requirements (including the approval of the CPUC) prior to foreclosure under the Indenture. This Agreement has
been, and each other Loan Document upon execution and delivery will be, duly executed and delivered. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower,
enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (x) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally, laws of general application related to the enforceability of securities secured by real estate and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law) and (y) applicable regulatory
requirements (including the approval of the CPUC) prior to foreclosure under the Indenture. 
 3.5 No Legal Bar. The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate in any material respect any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of the
Borrower or any of its Significant Subsidiaries and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other
than the Liens created by the Indenture). 
 3.6 Litigation. (a) No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or
before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing by or against the Borrower or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or against any of their material respective properties or
revenues with respect to any of the Loan Documents. 
  

 32 

 (b) No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator
or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing by or against the Borrower or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or against any of their material respective properties or revenues, except as
disclosed in the Specified Exchange Act Filings, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 3.7
No Default. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 3.8 Taxes. The Borrower and each of
its Significant Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all Federal and state returns of income and franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes and all other material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes
shown to be due and payable on said returns or with respect to any claims or assessments for taxes made against it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than (i) any amounts the validity of which are currently being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Borrower or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, as applicable, and (ii) claims which could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect). No tax Liens have been filed against the Borrower or any of its Significant Subsidiaries other than (A) Liens for taxes which are not delinquent or (B) Liens for taxes which are
being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Borrower or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, as applicable. 

3.9 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for
“buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates the
provisions of the Regulations of the Board. 
 3.10 ERISA. No Reportable Event has occurred during the five year period
prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and each Plan has complied with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, except, in each case, to the extent that any such Reportable Event or
failure to comply with the applicable provisions of ERISA or the Code could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. During the five year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, there
has been no (i) failure to make a required contribution to any Plan that would result in the imposition of a lien or other encumbrance or the provision of security under Section 430 of the Code or Section 303 or 4068 of ERISA, or the
arising of such a lien or encumbrance; or (ii) “unpaid minimum required contribution” or “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined or otherwise set forth in Section 4971 of the Code or Part 3 of Subtitle B of Title I
of ERISA), whether or not waived, except, in each case, to the extent that such event could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or
a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which
this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits, except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly
Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan during the five year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a
material liability under ERISA, and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity

  

 33 

 
were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, except as could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent. 

3.11 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. The Borrower is not an “investment company”, or a company
“controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. On the date hereof, the Borrower is not subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law (other than
(a) Regulation X of the Board and (b) Sections 817-830, and Sections 701 and 851 of the California Public Utilities Code) that limits its ability to incur Indebtedness under this Agreement. 

3.12 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans and the Swingline Loans shall be used for general corporate purposes,
including commercial paper back-up and to support liquidity requirements associated with the Borrower’s energy procurement hedging activities. 

3.13 Environmental Matters. Except as disclosed in the Specified Exchange Act Filings, the Borrower and its Significant
Subsidiaries do not have liabilities under Environmental Laws or relating to Materials of Environmental Concern that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, there are no facts,
circumstances or conditions that could reasonably be expected to give rise to such liabilities. 
 3.14 Regulatory
Matters. Solely by virtue of the execution, delivery and performance of, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, no Lender shall be or become subject to regulation (a) under the FPA or (b) as a
“public utility” or “public service corporation” or the equivalent under any Requirement of Law.

(a) the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal of any Loan when due in accordance with the terms hereof; or the Borrower
shall fail to pay any interest on any Loan, or any other amount payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, within five Business Days after any such interest or other amount becomes due in accordance with the terms hereof; or 

(b) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower herein or in any other Loan Document or that is
contained in any certificate, document or financial or other statement furnished by it at any time under or in connection with this Agreement or any such other Loan Document shall prove to have been inaccurate in any material respect on or as of the

 (c) the Borrower shall default in the observance or performance of any agreement
contained in Section 6.1 or Section 6.3 of this Agreement; or

beneficiary) to cause, with the giving of notice if required, such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity or (in the case of any such Indebtedness constituting a Guarantee Obligation) to become payable; provided, that a default,
event or condition described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph (e) shall not at any time constitute an Event of Default unless, at such time, one or 

 

 39 

 
more defaults, events or conditions of the type described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph (e) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to
Indebtedness the outstanding principal amount of which exceeds in the aggregate $100,000,000; provided further, that unless payment of the Loans hereunder has already been accelerated, if such default shall be cured by the Borrower or
such Significant Subsidiary or waived by the holders of such Indebtedness and any acceleration of maturity having resulted from such default shall be rescinded or annulled, in each case, in accordance with the terms of such agreement or instrument,
without any modification of the terms of such Indebtedness requiring the Borrower or such Significant Subsidiary to furnish security or additional security therefor, reducing the average life to maturity thereof or increasing the principal amount
thereof, or any agreement by the Borrower or such Significant Subsidiary to furnish security or additional security therefor or to issue in lieu thereof Indebtedness secured by additional or other collateral or with a shorter average life to

(f) (i) the Borrower or any of its Significant Subsidiaries shall commence any case, proceeding or other action
(A) under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to it, or seeking to adjudicate it
a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding up, liquidation, dissolution, composition or other relief with respect to it or its debts, or (B) seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian,

appointment or (B) remains undismissed, undischarged or unbonded for a period of 60 days; or (iii) there shall be commenced against the Borrower or any of its Significant Subsidiaries any case, proceeding or other action seeking
issuance of a warrant of attachment, execution, distraint or similar process against all or any substantial part of its assets that results in the entry of an order for any such relief that shall not have been vacated, discharged, or stayed or

expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; or 
 (h) one or more judgments or decrees shall be entered
against the Borrower or any of its Significant Subsidiaries involving in the aggregate a liability (not paid or, subject to customary deductibles, fully covered by insurance as to which the relevant insurance company has not denied coverage) of
$100,000,000 or more, and all such judgments or decrees shall not have been vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal within 30 days from the entry thereof; or 

(i) there shall have occurred a Change of Control. 

 

 40

(ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to the Borrower, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the
request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower declare the Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Required
Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. Except as expressly provided above in this Section, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby
expressly waived by the Borrower. 
 SECTION 8. THE AGENTS 

8.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to
exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. 

8.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
by or through agents or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. 
 8.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or
(ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report,
statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or
performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement (other than (in the case of the Administrative Agent only) to confirm 

 

 41 

 
receipt of the deliverables required pursuant to Section 4.1) or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower. 

8.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying,
upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent
or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat
the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or
refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall
first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in
acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to
act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans. 
 8.5 Notice of Default.
The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing
such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The
Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the
Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable
in the best interests of the Lenders. 
 8.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges
that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the
affairs of the Borrower or any of its affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any
other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its
affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems
necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the
Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the 
  

 42 

 
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or
otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any of its affiliates that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates. 

8.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the
Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date
upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or
arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under
or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that
are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

8.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage
in any kind of business with the Borrower as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and
may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity. 

8.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the
Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which
successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 7(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the
former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders
of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall
nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any
retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents. 
  

 43 

 8.10 Documentation Agents and Syndication Agent. None of the Documentation Agents or
the Syndication Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such. 
 SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS

 9.1 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be
amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.1. The Required Lenders and the Borrower may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, from
time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of
the Lenders or of the Borrower hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall: 

(i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, reduce the stated rate of any
interest or fee payable hereunder (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders)) or extend the scheduled date of any
payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (except that only the Lenders who are increasing their
Commitments are required to consent to a request by the Borrower under Section 2.3 to increase the Total Commitments); 

(ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 9.1 or Section 9.6(a)(i) without the
written consent of such Lender; 
 (iii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders
without the written consent of all Lenders; 
 (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.14
related to pro rata treatment without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; 
 (v) amend,
modify or waive any provision of Section 8 without the written consent of the Administrative Agent; 
 (vi)
amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.4 or 2.5 without the written consent of the Swingline Lender; or 

(vii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 4.1 without the consent of all the Lenders. 

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon
the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not 
  

 44 

 
continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. 

If the Required Lenders shall have approved any amendment which requires the consent of all of the Lenders, the Borrower shall be
permitted to replace any non-consenting Lender with another financial institution, provided that, (i) the replacement financial institution shall purchase at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to
the date of replacement, (ii) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.17 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating
thereto (as if such purchase constituted a prepayment of such Loans), (iii) such replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (iv) the replaced Lender shall be
obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) and (v) any such replacement shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of any rights the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment,
supplement, modification, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable
Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (i) (x) an increase or extension of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, or (y) any reduction of the amount of principal or interest owed to such Defaulting Lender (unless all
non-Defaulting Lenders have agreed to a pro rata reduction) shall, in each case, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender, and (ii) a Defaulting Lender’s Percentage shall be taken into consideration along with the Percentage of
non-Defaulting Lenders when voting to approve or disapprove any waiver, amendment or modification that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein but subject to obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals, in addition to the
amendments described above, each of the Non-Procurement Facility Limit and the Procurement Facility Limit may be changed by the Borrower by written notice to the Administrative Agent and no consent of any other party shall be required;
provided that, the sum of the Non-Procurement Facility Limit and the Procurement Facility Limit may not exceed the Total Commitments; provided that any notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.5 which would,
after giving effect to the Loans requested to be made, cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans, the proceeds of which were used for activities other than energy procurement, to exceed the Non-Procurement Facility Limit or cause
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans, the proceeds of which were used for energy procurement to exceed the Procurement Facility Limit, shall be deemed to be a notice by the Borrower hereunder. 

9.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing
(including by telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, or three Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy notice,

 9.5 Payment of Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all their respective reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of only one counsel and
special California regulatory counsel to the Administrative Agent and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Borrower prior to the Effective Date (in the case of amounts to be
paid on the Effective Date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its
costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the fees and disbursements of only one counsel to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp,
excise and Other Taxes, if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any
waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees,
affiliates, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind or nature whatsoever, whether brought by the Borrower or any other Person, with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement and performance of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any of the
foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of the Borrower and its Significant Subsidiaries or any of the facilities and
properties owned, leased or operated by the Borrower and its Significant Subsidiaries and the reasonable fees and expenses of one legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against the Borrower under any Loan
Document (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to
the extent such Indemnified Liabilities resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted
by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Significant Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Significant Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery
with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any
Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section 9.5 shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor, subject to the Borrower’s receipt of reasonably detailed invoices. Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant
to this Section 9.5 shall be submitted to Treasurer (Telephone No. (415) 817-8199/(415) 267-7000) (Telecopy No. (415) 267-7265/7268), at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 9.2 with a copy to Chief Counsel, Corporate

Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section 9.5 shall survive for two years after repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
  

 47 

 9.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (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, except that (i) 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) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or
obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.6. 
 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions
set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) other than the Borrower or an affiliate of the Borrower all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments 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
Eligible Assignee that is an affiliate of any Lender party to this Agreement on the Effective Date or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; and 

(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an
assignment of any Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender (or an affiliate of a Lender) with a Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment. 

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Commitments or Loans, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 (or, if such assignee is an Eligible Assignee that is an affiliate of a Lender, $5,000,000) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that
(1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (2) with respect to any Lender party to this Agreement on the Effective Date, such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of
such Lender and any affiliate of such Lender that is an Eligible Assignee; 
 (B) the parties to each assignment
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, except that no such processing fee shall be payable in the case of an assignee which is an affiliate of a
Lender; and 
 (C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
administrative questionnaire. 
 In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder,
no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the 

 

 48 

 
Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations,
or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable
assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and
(y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Swingline Loans in accordance with its Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any
Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until
such compliance occurs. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, 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 9.5 but shall be subject to the limitations set
forth therein). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.6 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) 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 Commitments of, and principal
amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (v)
Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (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. 

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, 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 Commitments 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 

 

 49 

 
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve
any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that
(1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 9.1 and (2) directly 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 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. 

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 2.15 or 2.16 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 to such greater payments. Any Participant that is a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless such Participant complies with Section 2.16(d). 

(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) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring
Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above. 
 (f) Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in
Section 9.6(b). Each of the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however,
that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage, expense, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits or any kind whatsoever arising out of
its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance. 

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, none of the Agents, in their capacity as Lenders, will
assign without the consent of the Borrower, prior to the Effective Date, any of the Commitments held by them on the date of this Agreement. 
  

 50 

 9.7 Adjustments; Set off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly
provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it hereunder, or receive any collateral in respect thereof
(whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any,
in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender hereunder, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender hereunder, or shall
provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however,
that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

 (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, including other rights of set-off,
each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at
the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), after any applicable grace period, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any
other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch, affiliate or agency thereof to or for the credit
or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such setoff and application. 
 9.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the
parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile
transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 

9.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 9.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the
entire agreement of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents. 
 9.11

 (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a
copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address set forth in Section 9.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been
notified pursuant thereto; 
 (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process
in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and 
 (e)
waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

 9.13 Acknowledgments. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that: 

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents; 
 (b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to
the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between Administrative Agent and Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith
is solely that of debtor and creditor; and 
 (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan
Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Borrower and the Lenders.

connection with this Agreement that is designated by the provider thereof as confidential; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Administrative

  

 52

any of its affiliates (as long as such attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors are subject to confidentiality requirements substantially equivalent to this Section), (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority,
(e) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (f) if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding,

proceeding (whether of fact or of law) and to report a statement of decision, provided that at the option of any party to such proceeding, any such issues pertaining to a “provisional remedy” as defined in California Code of Civil

 Exhibit 10.1 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) by and between The Wet Seal, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and Steven H. Benrubi (“Executive”) (collectively, the “Parties”) is entered into as of August 3, 2010. 

W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS, the Parties entered into an Employment Agreement on September 19, 2007, which was amended and restated as of
February 11, 2008 (the “Prior Agreement”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Parties desire to execute this
Agreement that will supersede the Prior Agreement. 
 NOW THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows: 

 

	1.	EMPLOYMENT 

 The Company
hereby continues to employ Executive and Executive hereby accepts such continued employment upon the terms and conditions set forth below. 
  

	2.	TERM 

 The term of this
Agreement shall begin on the date first set forth above (the “Effective Date”) and end on the third anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Term”). The Term may be sooner terminated by either party in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5. 
  

	3.	COMPENSATION 

 3.1 Base
Compensation. For the services to be rendered by Executive under this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to receive, commencing as of the Effective Date, salary at the annual rate of Three Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($375,000)
(“Base Compensation”) payable in twenty-six (26) substantially equal installments per year, less all applicable tax withholdings by the Company. The Base Compensation shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s
customary payroll practices. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) shall review Executive’s Base Compensation annually and may make adjustments to increase but not decrease
such Base Compensation, in accordance with the compensation practices and guidelines of the Company. 
 3.2 Bonuses.

 (a) Subject to the achievement of performance objectives pre-determined by the Committee, Executive shall be eligible to
receive annual bonus compensation targeted at fifty percent (50%) of Base Compensation, a portion of which shall be based on the Spring operating income results for the Company as a whole and the remaining portion shall be based on the Fall
operating income results for the Company as a whole (each a “Seasonal Bonus”). The maximum annual bonus compensation opportunity shall be provided in the Company’s incentive plan. In order to earn a Seasonal Bonus, Executive
must be employed on the date the Company pays the applicable Seasonal Bonus. Any Fall bonus under this provision shall be paid no later than the 

 

 1 

 
fifteenth (15th) day of the third month following the end of the fiscal year for which it is earned and any Spring bonus earned hereunder shall be paid in the third quarter of such fiscal
year. Prior to the commencement of any Seasonal Bonus period, the Company reserves the right to change the operating metric(s) for purposes of measuring the Seasonal Bonus earned. 

(b) The Committee may in its sole discretion replace this Seasonal Bonus program with an annual bonus program under which such annual
bonus shall be based on the achievement of annual metrics established by the Company each fiscal year (such metrics to be determined as late as seventy-five (75) days following the beginning of each applicable fiscal year). In order to earn
this annual bonus, Executive must be employed on the date the Company pays such annual bonus and any annual bonus so earned shall be paid no later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third month following the end of the fiscal year for which
it is earned and following certification by the Committee of the achievement of the applicable performance metrics and the amount of the annual bonus to be paid to Executive for the applicable fiscal year. 

(c) The Company will pay Executive a retention bonus of $75,000 (the “Retention Bonus”), payable in cash in two
installments as follows: (i) $25,000 on the Effective Date, and (ii) $50,000 on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, provided that, Executive is employed by the Company on each such payment date and has not tendered notice
of his resignation. If Executive (i) is terminated for Cause, (ii) resigns without Good Reason, or (iii) evidences his intent to resign by tendering his resignation, prior to the -third anniversary of the Effective Date, Executive
shall repay the Company, within 10 days following such termination event, an amount of the Retention Bonus (not to exceed the Retention Bonus paid to Executive) equal to the product of (x) and (y), where (x) is equal to the amount of the
Retention Bonus paid to Executive as of the termination date, and (y) is a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days remaining until the third anniversary of the Effective Date and the denominator of which is 1,095. 

3.3 Options. Pursuant to and subject to the terms of The Wet Seal Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and/or restated from
time to time (the “Plan”), on the Effective Date, Executive was awarded an option to purchase 90,000 shares of Class A common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) in accordance with the stock option agreement
attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Stock Option Agreement”). 
 3.4 Restricted Shares. Pursuant
to and subject to the terms of the Plan, on the Effective Date, Executive was awarded a restricted stock award consisting of 90,000 restricted shares of Common Stock in accordance with the restricted stock award agreement attached hereto as
Exhibit C (the “Restricted Stock Award Agreement”). 
 3.5 Benefits. Executive shall be entitled
to participate in all pension and welfare benefit, medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability and any other benefit or insurance plans established by the Company and made available to other executives at his level, in accordance with the
terms of such plans as they may be in effect from time to time. 
 3.6 Vacation. During the Term, Executive shall be
entitled to four (4) weeks of paid vacation per year to be used and accrued in accordance with the Company’s policy, as it may be established from time to time. 
  

 2 

 3.7 Expense Reimbursement. Executive shall be reimbursed for reasonable business
expenses actually incurred, in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy, as it may be in effect during the Term. 
  

	4.	POSITION AND DUTIES 

 4.1
Position. Executive shall serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and report to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“CEO”). Executive shall perform duties consistent with his title
and position and any other reasonable duties determined by the CEO. If requested by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), Executive shall serve as an officer and/or director of any of the Company’s affiliates or
subsidiaries for no additional consideration. 
 4.2 Duties; Devotion of Time and Effort. Executive shall use
Executive’s good faith best efforts and judgment (a) in performing Executive’s duties required hereunder and (b) to act in the best interests of the Company. Executive shall devote such time, attention and energies to the
business of the Company as are reasonably necessary to satisfy Executive’s required responsibilities and duties hereunder. Executive shall perform the duties assigned to him to the best of Executive’s ability and in the best interests of
the Company. 
 4.3 Compliance with Policies. Executive shall observe all Company’s policies and all reasonable
rules and regulations adopted by the Company in connection with the conduct of its business, and shall render services in a competent, conscientious and professional manner and as instructed by the Company in all matters.

the Company and accountable for fiscal and fiduciary responsibilities associated with such position. 
  

	5.	TERMINATION 

 5.1 Due
to Death or Disability. If Executive dies during the Term, Executive’s employment and this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of his death. The Company may terminate Executive due to Executive’s “Disability” (as defined
below) at any time following the Effective Date, upon written notice to Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Disability” shall mean a physical or mental incapacity as a result of which Executive becomes unable to
continue the proper performance of Executive’s duties hereunder for six (6) consecutive calendar months or for shorter periods aggregating one hundred eighty (180) business days in any twelve (12) month period, or, if this
provision is inconsistent with any applicable law, for such period or periods as permitted by law. 
 5.2 By the Company
Without “Cause”. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment without “Cause” (as hereinafter defined) at any time following the Effective Date, upon written notice to Executive, subject to compliance by the Company
with the provisions of Section 5.6 hereof. 
  

 3 

 5.3 By the Company for Cause. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment
for “Cause” at any time. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall mean: 
 (a)
Executive’s conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, any felony or any crime involving the Company; 
 (b)
Executive’s commission of any act of theft, embezzlement or misappropriation against the Company; 
 (c) The gross neglect,
malfeasance or nonfeasance of Executive in the performance of the services contemplated hereunder, when such conduct causes or has the likelihood of causing material economic harm to the Company; 

(d) A material breach of this Agreement by Executive; 

(e) Any willful misconduct or unethical behavior related to Executive’s duties hereunder or insubordination by Executive;

 (f) The sexual or other harassment by Executive of any employee, independent contractor or customer of the Company; and/or

 (g) Executive’s use of illegal drugs or abuse of alcohol or legally prescribed drugs. 

5.4 By Executive For Good Reason. Executive may terminate his employment for Good Reason (as defined below). In the event
Executive seeks to terminate his employment for Good Reason, Executive shall provide thirty (30) days written notice to the Company setting forth Executive’s intention to terminate his employment with the Company. The Company shall have
the opportunity to cure the “Good Reason” within thirty (30) days of the Company’s receipt of the written notice from Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean relocating
Executive’s place of work, or the executive offices of the Company, to a location more than fifty (50) miles from the site of the Company’s offices as of the Effective Date. Executive must provide notice of his intention to terminate
his employment for Good Reason within sixty (60) days following the occurrence of the grounds constituting Good Reason. If Executive fails to provide such timely notice, Executive shall waive his right to terminate his employment for Good
Reason based on such particular grounds. 
 5.5 By Executive Without Good Reason. Executive may voluntarily terminate his
employment without Good Reason at any time following the Effective Date upon sixty (60) days written notice to the Company. 

5.6 Termination Payment. 

(a) Amount. 

(i) In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Sections 5.1 through 5.5, Executive shall
continue to render services to the Company pursuant to this Agreement until the date of termination (“Termination  

 

 4 

 
Date”) and shall continue to receive compensation and payment for any unreimbursed expenses incurred, accrued but unpaid Base Compensation and other accrued employee benefits as
provided in this Agreement, through the Termination Date. In addition, in the event Executive’s employment is terminated without “Cause” pursuant to Section 5.2, or Executive terminates his employment for “Good Reason”
pursuant to Section 5.4, in each case within the first three years of the Effective Date, and subject to Section 5.6 (c) Executive shall receive severance pay in an amount equal to one times Executive’s Base Compensation, in
equal bimonthly installments paid over a period of twelve (12) months (the “Severance Period”) with the first installment to be paid on the later of the Company’s first regular pay date after the Termination Date or the
tenth (10th) day after Executive’s execution of the release described in Section 5.6(c). Each installment of the severance pay shall be deemed a separate payment for the purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the severance payments due under this Section 5.6(a) are determined to be “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to
Section 409A of the Code, and the Company determines that Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and the regulations and other guidance issued thereunder, then such severance
payments (or portion thereof) shall commence no earlier than the first day of the seventh month following the month in which Executive’s termination of employment occurs (with the first such payment being a lump sum equal to the aggregate
severance payments Executive would have received during such six-month period if no such payment delay had been imposed). For purposes of this Section 5.6(a)(i), “termination of employment” shall mean Executive’s “separation
from service” as defined in Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Final Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 409A of the Code, including the default presumptions thereof. 

(ii) If Executive is terminated (x) without Cause on or after the third anniversary of the Effective Date or
(y) for Cause, then Executive shall not receive any severance payments and shall only be entitled to the payments identified in the first sentence of Section 5.6(a)(i). 

(iii) Except as provided in this Section 5.6, Executive shall not be entitled to any other payments in connection
with his employment and/or the termination thereof, and shall have no further right to receive compensation or other consideration from the Company or have any other remedy whatsoever against the Company, as a result of the termination of this
Agreement or the termination of Executive. In no way do payments under this clause (a) include any unearned, ineligible bonus compensation. 

(b) Benefits. In the event Executive’s employment is terminated without “Cause” pursuant to Section 5.2, or
Executive terminates his employment for “Good Reason” pursuant to Section 5.4, the Executive may timely elect to continue healthcare coverage through COBRA at Executive’s expense. 

 

 5 

 (c) Release. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, Executive acknowledges and agrees that any and all severance payments to which Executive is entitled under this Section 5.6 are conditional upon, and subject to, Executive first executing a valid waiver and release of
all claims that Executive may have against the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates (and their respective officers and directors) in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit A, subject to changes as may be warranted
to be made to such release to preserve the intent thereof for changes in applicable laws; provided, that, if Executive fails to execute (or revokes) such waiver and release of all claims within 30 days following the Termination Date, the
Company shall have no obligation to provide the payments contemplated under this Section 5.6. To the extent that the Executive’s Termination Date occurs on or after
November 15th of a calendar year, the Release to the
extent executed and returned in accordance with this subparagraph shall be deemed, for purposes of the payment timing provisions of this Section 5, to have been executed and returned to the Company on
January 1st of the calendar year succeeding the
Termination Date. 
 (d) Mitigation. Executive acknowledges and agrees that any and all severance payments to which
Executive is entitled under this Section 5.6 shall be reduced, on a dollar for dollar basis, by any compensation paid to Executive during the Severance Period by another recipient of Executive’s services, whether as an employee, consultant
or otherwise. Executive agrees to provide written notice to the Company of the provision of any such services during the Severance Period and the amount of compensation to be earned in respect thereof within five (5) business days of the
provision of such services. 
  

	6.	NON-SOLICITATION; NON-COMPETITION 

Executive acknowledges that by virtue of Executive’s position as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company,
and Executive’s employment hereunder, he will have advantageous familiarity with and knowledge about the Company and will be instrumental in establishing and maintaining goodwill between the Company and its customers, which goodwill is the
property of the Company. Therefore, Executive agrees as follows: 
 (a) During the Term, Executive will not engage (either
directly or indirectly, as shareholder, partner, officer, director, consultant, employee or otherwise) in any enterprise, nor perform any services of any kind whatsoever for or provide any financial assistance to any enterprise, in the retail
clothing business other than through the Company or its subsidiaries and their successors. 
 (b) During the Term, and for a
period of one (1) year following the end of the Term, Executive will not, either for himself or for any other person or entity, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any of the Company’s employees to
terminate their relationship with the Company, and/or (ii) attempt to solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any of the Company’s employees to terminate their relationship with the Company; provided, however, that this
restriction shall apply for one (1) year following the termination of Executive’s employment, in the event Executive’s employment is terminated prior to the end of the Term pursuant to, and in accordance with, Sections 5.1 through
5.5. 
  

	7.	TRADE SECRETS 

  

 6 

 7.1 Executive specifically agrees that Executive will not at any time, whether during or
subsequent to the Term, in any fashion, form or manner, except in furtherance of Executive’s duties at the Company or with the specific written consent of the Company, either directly or indirectly use or divulge, disclose or communicate to any
Person in, any manner whatsoever, any confidential information of any kind, nature or description concerning any matters affecting or relating to the business of the Company (the “Proprietary Information”), including (a) all
information, formulae, compilations, software programs (including object codes and source codes), devices, methods, techniques, drawings, plans, experimental and research work, inventions, patterns, processes and know-how, whether or not patentable,
and whether or not at a commercial stage related to the Company or any subsidiary thereof (b) buying habits or practices of any of its customers, (c) the Company’s marketing methods and related data, (d) the Company’s costs
of materials, (e) the prices it obtains or has obtained or at which it sells or has sold its products or services, (f) lists or other written records used in the Company’s business, (g) compensation paid to employees and other
terms of employment or (h) any other confidential information of, about or concerning the business of the Company, its manner of operation, or other confidential data of any kind, nature or description (excluding any information that is or
becomes publicly known or available for use through no fault of Executive or as directed by Court order). The Parties hereto stipulate that as between them, Proprietary Information constitutes trade secrets that derive independent economic value,
actual or potential, from not being generally known to the public or to other Persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use and that Proprietary Information is the subject of efforts which are reasonable under the circumstances to
maintain its secrecy and of which this Section 7.1. is an example, and that any breach of this Section 7.1 shall be a material breach of this Agreement. All Proprietary Information shall be and remain the Company’s sole property.

 7.2 Executive agrees to keep confidential and not to use or divulge, except in furtherance of Executive’s duties at the
Company, any confidential or proprietary information of any customer of the Company to which Executive may obtain access during the Term. Executive acknowledges and agrees that a breach of this Section 7.2 shall be a material breach of this
Agreement. 
  

	8.	INVENTIONS 

 8.1 Executive
agrees to disclose promptly to the Company any and all concepts, designs, inventions, discoveries and improvements related to the Company’s business (collectively, “Inventions”) that Executive may conceive, discover or make
from the beginning of Executive’s employment with the Company until the termination thereof; whether such is made solely or jointly with others, whether or not patentable, of which the conception or making involves the use of the Company’s
time, facilities, equipment or personnel. 
 8.2 Executive agrees to assign, and does hereby assign, to the Company (or its
nominee) Executive’s right, title and interest in and to any and all Inventions that Executive may conceive, discover or make, either solely or jointly with others, patentable or unpatentable, from the beginning of Executive’s employment
with the Company until the termination thereof. 
 8.3 Executive agrees to sign at the request of the Company any instrument
necessary for the filing and prosecution of patent applications in the United States and elsewhere, 
  

 7 

 
including divisional, continuation, revival, renewal or reissue applications, covering any Inventions and all instruments necessary to vest title to such Inventions in the Company (or its
nominee). Executive further agrees to cooperate and assist the Company in preparing, filing and prosecuting any and all such patent applications and in pursuing or defending any litigation upon inventions covered hereby. The Company shall bear all
expenses involved in the prosecution of such patent applications it desires to have filed. Executive agrees to sign at the request of the Company any and all instruments necessary to vest title in the Company (or its nominee) to any specific patent
application prepared by the Company and covering Inventions which Executive has agreed to assign to the Company (or its nominee) pursuant to Section 8.2. 

8.4 The provisions of Sections 8.2 and 8.3 do not apply to any invention which qualifies fully under the provisions of Section 2870
of the California Labor Code, which provides in substance that provisions in an employment agreement providing that an employee shall assign or offer to assign rights in an invention to his employer do not apply to an invention for which no
equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information of the employer was used and which was developed entirely on the employee’s own time, except for those inventions that either (a) relate, at the time of conception or reduction
to practice of the invention: (i) to the business of the employer or (ii) to the employer’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (b) result from any work performed by the employee for the employer.

  

	9.	SHOP RIGHTS 

 The Company
shall also have a perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive right to use in its business, and to make, use, license and sell products, processes and/or services derived from any inventions, discoveries, designs, improvements, concepts, ideas, works of
authorship, whether patentable or not, including processes, methods, formulae, techniques or know-how related thereto, that are not within the scope of “Inventions” as defined above, but which are conceived or made by Executive during
regular working hours or with the use of the facilities, materials or personnel of the Company. 
  

	10.	INJUNCTIVE RELIEF 

Executive acknowledges that any violation of any provision of Sections 6 through 9 and Sections 12 through 13 hereof by Executive will
cause irreparable damage to the Company, that such damages will be incapable of precise measurement and that, as a result, the Company will not have an adequate remedy at law to redress the harm which such violations will cause. Therefore, in the
event of any violation or threatened violation of any provision of Sections 6 through 9 and Sections 12 through 13 by Executive, in addition to any other rights at law or in equity, Executive agrees that the Company will be entitled to seek
injunctive relief including, but not limited to, temporary and/or permanent restraining orders to restrain any violation or threatened violation of such Sections by Executive. 

 

	11.	BLUE PENCIL 

 It is the
desire and intent of the Parties that the provisions of Section 6 through 9 and Section 15 hereof shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is
sought. Accordingly, if any portion of Sections 6 through 9 and Section 15 shall be adjudicated to be invalid or 

 

 8 

 
unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed amended either to conform to such restrictions as the court or arbitrator may allow, or to delete therefrom or reform the portion thus adjudicated to
be invalid and unenforceable, such deletion or reformation to apply only with respect to the operation of such Section in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made. It is expressly agreed that any court or arbitrator shall have
the authority to modify any provision of Sections 6 through 9 and Section 15 if necessary to render it enforceable, in such manner as to preserve as much as possible the Parties’ original intentions, as expressed therein, with respect to
the scope thereof. 
  

	12.	COPYRIGHT 

 Executive
agrees that any work prepared for the Company that is eligible for copyright protection under any U.S. or foreign law shall be a work made for hire and ownership of all copyrights (including all renewals and extensions therein) shall vest in the
Company. In the event any such work is deemed not to be a work made for hire for any reason, Executive hereby irrevocably grants, transfers and assigns all right, title and interest in such work and all copyrights in such work and all renewals and
extensions thereof to the Company, and agrees to provide all assistance reasonably requested by the Company in the establishment, preservation and enforcement of its copyright in such work, such assistance to be provided at the Company’s
expense but without any additional compensation to Executive. Executive agrees to and does hereby irrevocably waive all moral rights with respect to the work developed or produced hereunder, including any and all rights of identification of
authorship and any and all rights of approval, restriction or limitation on use or subsequent modifications. 
  

	13.	EXECUTIVE’S DUTIES ON TERMINATION 

Upon termination of his employment, Executive will return immediately to the Company all of the Company’s property in
Executive’s possession or control, including, but not limited to, phone cards, credit cards, reports, Proprietary Information, software, keys, files, data, customer lists, equipment, and all other tangible and intangible property belonging to
the Company or relating to Executive’s employment with the Company. 
  

	14.	GENERAL PROVISIONS

	15.	ARBITRATION 

 In
recognition of the fact that differences may arise between Executive and the Company relating to certain aspects of Executive’s employment or the termination of Executive’s employment, and in recognition of the fact that resolution of any
differences in the courts is rarely timely or cost effective for either party, both the Company and Executive mutually agree to arbitrate disputes under the following terms and conditions in order to establish and gain the benefits of a speedy,
impartial and cost-effective dispute resolution procedure. 
 (a) Except as set forth in subparagraph (e) below, any
dispute arising out of or in any way related to Executive’s employment with the Company, will be decided exclusively by final and binding arbitration, in Orange County, California, pursuant to the procedures required by California law,
including the California Arbitration Act, California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 1281, et seq. and governing case law including Armendariz v. Foundation Health Psychcare Servs., Inc., 24 Cal.4th 83 (2000). The claims covered include,
but are not limited to, claims for wages or other compensation due; claims for breach of any contract or covenant, express or implied; tort claims; claims for discrimination, including but not limited to discrimination based on race, sex, sexual
orientation, religion, national origin, age, marital status, handicap, disability or medical condition or harassment on any of the foregoing bases; claims for benefits, except as excluded herein; and claims for violation of any federal, state or
other governmental constitution, statute, ordinance, regulation, or public policy. This agreement to arbitrate disputes shall not be deemed to apply to a dispute if an agreement to arbitrate such a dispute is prohibited by law. 

(b) The arbitrator may award any form of remedy or relief (including injunctive relief) that would otherwise be available in court. Any
award pursuant to said arbitration shall be accompanied by a written opinion of the arbitrator setting forth the reason for the award. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties hereto, and judgment upon
the award may be entered, and enforcement may be sought in, any court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent not inconsistent with applicable laws, the Arbitrator will have the authority to hear and grant motions. 

(c) Except as required under governing law, including Armendariz v. Foundation Health Psychcare Servs., Inc., 24 Cal.4th 83
(2000), each party shall pay its own expenses of arbitration and the expenses of the arbitrator (including compensation) shall be borne equally by the Parties. 

(d) EXECUTIVE AND THE COMPANY UNDERSTAND THAT, ABSENT THIS AGREEMENT, EXECUTIVE AND THE COMPANY WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE EACH OTHER IN
COURT, AND THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, BUT, BY THIS AGREEMENT, GIVE UP THAT RIGHT AND AGREE TO RESOLVE BY ARBITRATION ANY AND ALL GRIEVANCES DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, EXECUTIVE’S EMPLOYMENT OR THE TERMINATION THEREOF.

  

 11 

 (e) Notwithstanding the above, Executive or the Company shall be entitled to seek injunctive
or other equitable, provisional relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in Orange County, California upon a showing that any potential arbitration award would be rendered ineffectual without such relief. However, if any party seeks or obtains
such injunctive relief, the merits of the dispute and/or determination of any appropriate remedy (other than equitable, provisional relief) shall be resolved in accordance with this Agreement. 

(f) This agreement to arbitrate disputes shall apply to disputes involving the Company as well as the Company’s parents, affiliates,
subsidiaries, successors, assigns, officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents. Any controversy regarding whether a particular dispute is subject to arbitration shall be decided by the arbitrator.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have executed this Agreement effective as of
the date first written above.

Seal, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Steven H. Benrubi, who is the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company (“Participant”). Capitalized terms not defined herein will
have the meaning ascribed to them in the Company’s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and/or restated from time to time (the “Plan”) 
  

			
	Total Option Shares:	  	90,000
		
	Exercise Price Per Share:	  	$3.441

		
	Date of Grant:	  	August 3, 2010
		
	Expiration Date:	  	August 3, 2020
		
	Type of Stock Option	  	
	(Check One):	  	 ̈ Incentive Stock Option, to the maximum extent permissible
		
		  	x Nonqualified Stock Option

8. 1. Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to Participant an option (this “Option”) to purchase the total number of
shares of Common Stock of the Company set forth above as Total Option Shares (the “Shares”) at the Exercise Price Per Share, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan. 

9. 2. Exercise Period. 
 9.1 2.1.
Provided Participant continues to provide Continuous Service to the Company or any Subsidiary, the Option will become vested and exercisable with respect to 33 1/3% of the Shares on each of the next three (3) anniversaries of the Date of Grant
until the Option is 100% vested, subject to Executive’s Continuous Service with the Company on each of those vesting dates. Except as provided in this Agreement, unvested Options will not be exercisable on or after Participant’s
termination of Continuous Service (“Termination Date”) and will immediately terminate on such Termination Date. 
  

 

	1
	 The exercise price per share shall be the volume weighted average 30 day share price of the Class A common stock ending on and including the Date
of Grant, but in no event less than the closing quoted selling price for the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the Date of Grant in accordance with the Plan. 

 

 17 

 9.2 2.2. The Option will expire on the Expiration Date set forth above or earlier as provided in this
Agreement or the Plan. 
 10. 3. Termination of Continuous Service. 

10.1 3.1. If Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated, the Options will remain exercisable as follows: 

10.2 (a) If Participant’s termination of Continuous Service is due to death, all unvested Options will terminate and all vested Options will be
exercisable by Participant’s designated beneficiary, or if none, the person(s) to whom such Participant’s rights under the Option are transferred by will or the laws of descendent and distribution for one (1) year following the
Termination Date (but in no event beyond the term of the Option). 
 10.3 (b) If Participant’s termination of Continuous Service is due to
Disability (as such term is defined in Participant’s Employment Agreement with the Company dated as of the date hereof (the “Employment Agreement”)), all unvested Options will terminate and all vested Options will be
exercisable by Participant for one (1) year following the Termination Date (but in no event beyond the term of the Option). 
 10.4 (c) If
Participant’s termination of Continuous Service is due to termination for Cause (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement) or voluntary termination without Good Reason (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement) by the
Participant, the Options will terminate on the Termination Date, regardless of whether the Options were then exercisable. 
 10.5 (d) If
Participant’s termination of Continuous Service is due to any other reason, all unvested Options will terminate on the Termination Date and all Options (to the extent exercisable as of the Termination Date) will be exercisable for a period of
three (3) months following such Termination Date (but in no event beyond the term of the Option) and will thereafter terminate. Participant’s status as an employee will not be considered terminated in the case of leave of absence agreed to
in writing by the Company (including but not limited to military and sick leave); provided, that, such leave is for a period of not more than three (3) months or reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract
or statute. 
 10.6 3.2. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement will confer on Participant any right to the continuation of service with the
Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate his Continuous Service at any time. 

11. 4. Manner of Exercise. 
 11.1
4.1. A Participant (or in the case of exercise after Participant’s death or Disability, Participant’s executor, administrator, heir or legatee, as the case may be) may exercise his Option by giving written notice of exercise to the Company
in a form approved by the Company specifying the number shares of Common Stock to be purchased. Such notice must be accompanied by the payment in full of the Option exercise price. The exercise price of

  

 18 

 
the Option may be paid by in the following manner: (i) cash or certified or bank check, (ii) surrender of Common Stock held by Participant for at least 6 months prior to exercise (or
such longer or shorter period as may be required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes) or the attestation of ownership of such shares, in either case, if so permitted by the Company, (iii) if established by the
Company, through a “same day sale” commitment from Participant and a broker-dealer selected by the Company that is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers (an “NASD Dealer”) whereby Participant
irrevocably elects to exercise the Options and to sell a portion of the Shares so purchased sufficient to pay for the total exercise price and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such shares to forward the total exercise
price directly to the Company, or (iv) by any combination of the foregoing, and, in all instances, to the extent permitted by applicable law. A Participant’s subsequent transfer or disposition of any Common Stock acquired upon exercise of
an Option will be subject to any Federal and state laws then applicable, specifically securities law, and the terms and conditions of the Plan. 

11.2 4.2. Upon (a) exercise of a Nonqualified Stock Option or (b) under any other circumstances determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion, the Company will have the right to require any Participant, and such Participant by accepting the Awards granted under the Plan agrees, to pay to the Company the amount of any Federal, state, local income taxes or other taxes incurred by
reason of the exercise of Options granted hereunder that the Company may be required to withhold with respect thereto. In the event of clauses (a) or (b), Participant will pay to the Company (or the Company may withhold) such amount as the
Company deems necessary to satisfy its minimum tax withholding obligation and such payment will be made: (i) in cash, (ii) to the extent authorized by the Committee, having the Company retain shares which would otherwise be delivered upon
exercise of an Option, (iii) to the extent authorized by the Committee, delivering or attesting to ownership of Shares owned by the holder of the Options for at least 6 months prior to the exercise of such Options (or such longer or shorter
period as may be required to avoid a change to earnings for financial accounting purposes), or (iv) any combination of any such methods. For purposes hereof, Shares will be valued at Fair Market Value. 

12. 5. Issuance of Shares. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement, as promptly as practicable after receipt of such
written notification of exercise and full payment of the Exercise Price and any required income tax withholding, the Company will issue or transfer to Participant the number of Shares with respect to which Options have been so exercised (less shares
withheld in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations, if any), and will deliver to Participant a certificate or certificates therefor, registered in Participant’s name. 

13. 6. Company; Participant. 

13.1 6.1. The term “Company” as used in this Agreement with reference to Continuous Service will include the Company and its Subsidiary, if
any, as appropriate. 
 13.2 6.2. Whenever the word “Participant” is used in any provision of this Agreement under circumstances where
the provision should logically be construed to apply to the beneficiaries, the executors, the administrators, or the person or persons to whom the Options may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, the word

  

 19 

 
“Participant” will be deemed to include such person or persons. 
 14. 7.
Non-Transferability. The Options are not transferable by Participant otherwise than to a designated beneficiary upon death or by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and are exercisable during Participant’s lifetime only by
him. No assignment or transfer of the Options, or of the rights represented thereby, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise (except to a designated beneficiary, upon death, by will or the laws of descent and
distribution), will vest in the assignee or transferee any interest or right herein whatsoever, but immediately upon such assignment or transfer the Options will terminate and become of no further effect. 

15. 8. Rights as Shareholder. Participant or a transferee of the Options will have no rights as shareholder with respect to any Shares
until he or she will have become the holder of record of such Shares, and no adjustment will be made for dividends or distributions or other rights in respect of such Shares for which the record date is prior to the date upon which he or she will
become the holder of record thereof. 
 16. 9. Adjustments. Options may be adjusted or terminated in any manner as contemplated by
the Plan. 
 17. 10. Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, all Options will become 100% vested and
exercisable; provided, that, Participant is then in Continuous Service. 
 18. 11. Compliance with Law.
Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, Participant hereby agrees that he will not exercise the Options, and that the Company will not be obligated to issue or transfer any shares to Participant hereunder, if the exercise hereof or the
issuance or transfer of such shares will constitute a violation by Participant or the Company of any provisions of any law or regulation of any governmental authority. Any determination in this connection by the Committee will be final, binding and
conclusive. The Company will in no event be obliged to register any securities pursuant to the Securities Act (as now in effect or as hereafter amended) or to take any other affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of the Options or the
issuance or transfer of shares pursuant thereto to comply with any law or regulation of any governmental authority. 
 19. 12.
Notice. Every notice or other communication relating to this Agreement will be in writing, and will be mailed to or delivered to the party for whom it is intended at such address as may from time to time be designated by it in a notice
mailed or delivered to the other party as herein provided; provided, that, unless and until some other address be so designated, all notices or communications by Participant to the Company will be mailed or delivered to the Company at
its principal executive office, and all notices or communications by the Company to Participant may be given to Participant personally or may be mailed to him at his address as recorded in the records of the Company. 

20. 13. Binding Effect. Subject to Section 7 hereof, this Agreement will be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators and
successors of the parties hereto. 
  

 20 

 21. 14. Governing Law. This Agreement will be construed and interpreted in accordance with the
laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law principles. 
 22. 15. Plan. The terms and provisions of the
Plan are incorporated herein by reference, and Participant hereby acknowledges receiving a copy of the Plan. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the discretionary terms and provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Agreement,
this Agreement will govern and control. 
 23. 16. Tax Consequences. Set forth below is a brief summary as of the Effective Date
of the Plan of some of the federal tax consequences of the exercise of the Options and disposition of the Shares. THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. PARTICIPANT SHOULD CONSULT A TAX
ADVISOR BEFORE EXERCISING THE OPTIONS OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES. 
 23.1 16.1. There may be a regular federal income tax liability upon the
exercise of the Options. Participant will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price.
If Participant is a current or former employee of the Company, the Company may be required to withhold from Participant’s compensation or collect from Participant and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount equal to a percentage of
this compensation income at the time of exercise. 
 23.2 16.2. The following tax consequences may apply upon disposition of the Shares.

 23.3 (a) If the Shares are held for more than twelve (12) months after the date of the transfer of the Shares pursuant to the exercise
of a Nonqualified Stock Option, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as long term capital gain. 
 23.4 (b) The
Company is hereby authorized to withhold from Participant’s compensation, or collect from Participant, and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount equal to a percentage of this compensation income. 

24. 17. Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement. This Agreement will be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, this Agreement will be binding upon Participant and Participant’s beneficiaries, executors, administrators and the
person or persons to whom this Agreement may be transferred by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT 

UNDER THE WET SEAL, INC. 

2005 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED 

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of the 3rd day of August, 2010
(the “Grant Date”) by and between The Wet Seal, Inc. (the “Company”) and Steven H. Benrubi (the “Participant”) who is the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company,
evidences the grant by the Company of a stock award of 90,000 shares of restricted Class A common stock of the Company (collectively, the “Restricted Stock”) to the Participant and the Participant’s acceptance of the
Restricted Stock in accordance with the provisions of The Wet Seal, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and/or restated from time to time (the “Plan”). All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed
to them as set forth in the Plan. The Company and the Participant agree as follows: 
 1. Basis for Award. The
award of Restricted Stock is made under the Plan pursuant to Section 9 thereof for service rendered to the Company by the Participant. 

2. Stock Awarded. 

(a) The Company hereby awards to the Participant the Restricted Stock which shall be subject to the conditions and
restrictions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement. 
 (b) Shares of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by
book-entry registration with the Company’s transfer agent, subject to such stop-transfer orders and other terms deemed appropriate by the Committee to reflect the restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if any certificate is issued in respect of such Restricted Stock, at the sole discretion of the Committee, such certificate shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions
and restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock, substantially in the following form: 
 “THE TRANSFERABILITY OF
THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE CLASS A COMMON STOCK REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (INCLUDING FORFEITURE) CONTAINED IN THE RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT DATED AS OF August 3, 2010, ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE REGISTERED
OWNER AND THE WET SEAL, INC.” 
 If a certificate is issued with respect to the Restricted Stock, the Committee may require that
the certificate evidencing such shares be held in custody by the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed and that the Participant deliver a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the shares covered by this Agreement. At the
expiration of the restrictions, the Company shall instruct the transfer agent to release the shares from the restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable law or, in the event that a certificate
has been issued, redeliver to the Participant (or his legal representative, beneficiary or 
  

 23 

 
heir) share certificates for the shares deposited with it without any legend except as otherwise provided by the Plan, this Agreement or applicable law. 

During the period that the Participant holds the Restricted Stock, the Participant shall have the right to receive dividends on and to vote the
Restricted Stock while it is subject to restriction, except as otherwise provided by the Plan. If the Restricted Stock is forfeited, in whole or in part, the Participant will assign, transfer and deliver any evidence of the Restricted Stock to the
Company and cooperate with the Company to reflect such forfeiture. By accepting this Award, the Participant acknowledges that the Company does not have an adequate remedy in damages for the breach by the Participant of the conditions and covenants
set forth in this Agreement and agrees that the Company is entitled to and may obtain an order or a decree of specific performance against the Participant issued by any court having jurisdiction. 

(c) Except as provided in the Plan or this Agreement, the restrictions on the Restricted Stock are that prior to the
“Vesting Date” (as defined in Section 3 below), the shares of Restricted Stock will be forfeited by the Participant and all of the Participant’s rights to such shares shall immediately terminate without any payment or
consideration by the Company, in the event of any sale, assignment, transfer, hypothecation, pledge or other alienation of such Restricted Stock made or attempted, whether voluntary or involuntary, and if involuntary whether by process of law in any
civil or criminal suit, action or proceeding, whether in the nature of an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participant may transfer the Restricted Stock to his Immediate Family Members (or to
corporations, trusts, partnerships or limited liability companies established for the Participant and/or such Immediate Family Members); provided, that, (i) such transfer is for no consideration other than securities or other
interests in such corporations, trusts, partnerships or limited liability companies, (ii) the Restricted Stock shall continue to be subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions herein and (iii) the transfer is effected through
procedures established by the Committee from time to time. 
 3. Vesting. The restrictions described in
Section 2 of this Agreement will lapse with respect to one-third of the shares of Restricted Stock on each of the first three anniversaries of the Grant Date (each a “Vesting Date”), provided the Participant is in the
Continuous Service of the Company on the applicable Vesting Date. If the Participant ceases Continuous Service at any time prior to the applicable Vesting Date, any shares of Restricted Stock that are unvested as of the date of such cessation shall
automatically be forfeited. Upon the consummation of a Change of Control while the Participant is subject to Continuous Service, all restrictions on 100% of the then unvested Restricted Stock shall automatically lapse on the date the Change of
Control shall be consummated and all of the Restricted Stock shall be vested. 
 4. Company; Participant.

 (a) The term “Company” as used in this Agreement with reference to service shall include the
Company and its Affiliates, as appropriate. 
 (b) Whenever the word “Participant” is used in
any provision of this Agreement under circumstances where the provision should logically be construed to apply to the beneficiaries, the executors, the administrators, or the person or persons to whom the

  

 24 

 
Restricted Stock may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, the word “Participant” shall be deemed to include such person or persons.
