 7 

 
Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate, that single rate will be used. If (i) fewer than two offered rates appear or (ii) no rate appears and the Designated
LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate, then the Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide the
Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in U.S. dollars for a three-month period commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following that LIBOR Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank market at

on that LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that LIBOR
Determination Date by three major banks in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks for a three-month period and in a principal amount that is representative of a single transaction in U.S.
dollars in that market at that time. If the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as set forth above, LIBOR for that LIBOR Determination Date will remain LIBOR for the immediately preceding Quarter. All percentages used in or
resulting from any calculation of LIBOR will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005% rounded up to 0.00001%. The determination of Three-Month LIBOR for each relevant distribution period

conferred upon the Partnership pursuant to the agreements relating to such business activity and (b) do anything necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the foregoing; provided, however, that the General Partner shall not cause the
Partnership to engage, directly or indirectly, in any business activity that the General Partner determines would be reasonably likely to cause the Partnership to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise taxable as an
entity for federal income tax purposes. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the General Partner shall have no duty or obligation to propose or approve the conduct by the Partnership of any business and may decline to do so free of any fiduciary

or more nominees of the General Partner or its Affiliates 

  
 13 

 
shall be held by the General Partner or such Affiliate or nominee for the use and benefit of the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that
the General Partner shall use reasonable efforts to cause record title to such assets (other than those assets in respect of which the General Partner determines that the expense and difficulty of conveyancing makes transfer of record title to the
Partnership impracticable) to be vested in the Partnership or one or more of the Partnership’s designated Affiliates as soon as reasonably practicable; provided further that, prior to the withdrawal or removal of the General Partner or
as soon thereafter as practicable, the General Partner shall use reasonable efforts to effect the transfer of record title to the Partnership and, prior to any such transfer, will provide for the use of such assets in a manner satisfactory to any

 Section 4.2    Capital
Contributions. 
 (a)    Organizational Capital Contributions and Subsequent Contributions. 

(i)    On February 17, 2017, Hess Midstream Partners, as the organizational Limited Partner, and
Gathering GP, as the General Partner, formed the Partnership under the Act. 
 (ii)    In connection with
the formation of the Partnership under the Act, on February 17, 2017, Gathering GP agreed to make (and has heretofore made) an initial Capital Contribution to the Partnership in the amount of $100 for a 1% General Partner Interest, and
Hess Midstream Partners agreed to make (and has heretofore made) an initial Capital Contribution to the Partnership in the amount of $9,900 for a 99% Limited Partner Interest. At the time of the Capital Contributions described in this
Section 4.2(a)(ii), Gathering GP was wholly owned by Hess Midstream Partners, as a result, Gathering GP was a Disregarded Entity and the Partnership was also a Disregarded Entity. 

(iii)    On the Effective Date, pursuant to and as described in the Contribution Agreement, (A) HIP
contributed the MLP Gathering Interest (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) to Hess Midstream Partners; (B) Hess Midstream Partners contributed the Gathering Interest (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) to the General Partner as a
contribution to its capital; (C) the General Partner agreed to contribute, and did contribute, the Gathering Interest to the Partnership in exchange for an additional General Partner Interest in the Partnership; (D) HIP contributed the
Opco Gathering Interest (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) to the Partnership as a contribution to its capital in exchange for a Limited Partner Interest in the Partnership and (E) Hess Midstream Partners agreed to contribute, and did
contribute, its Limited Partner Interest in the Partnership to the General Partner as a contribution to its capital and such Limited Partner Interest was re-designated as a General Partner Interest (such
contributions, the “GP Day-One Contributions”), such that after the GP Day-One Contributions, the General Partner held a 20.0% Percentage Equity
Interest and a 51% Voting Interest and HIP held a 80.0% Percentage Equity Interest and a 49% Voting Interest. In connection with the foregoing transactions, (x) Gathering GP continued as the General Partner and HIP was admitted as the Limited
Partner and the Partnership was continued without dissolution, (y) following the admission of HIP as a Limited Partner, Hess Midstream Partners ceased to be a Limited Partner and (z) the Percentage Equity Interest of the Partners shall be
as set forth on Exhibit A. In accordance with Rev. Rul. 99-5, 1999-1 C.B. 434 (Situation 1), the HIP contributions described in this
Section 4.2(a)(iii) shall be treated solely for federal income tax purposes as (A) first, as a contribution to Hess Midstream Partners of an undivided 20% interest in the Gathering Assets in exchange for an interest in
Hess Midstream Partners, and (B) second, as a simultaneous contribution to the Partnership by Hess Midstream Partners and HIP of their undivided interests in the Gathering Assets in exchange for, respectively, a 20% General Partner Interest
held by Gathering GP and a 80% Limited Partner Interest. Because Gathering GP is a Disregarded Entity, the partners of the Partnership solely for tax purposes as of the Effective Date are HIP and Hess Midstream Partners. 

  
 15 

 (b)    Additional Capital Contributions and other Obligations of the
Partners. 
 (i)    In General. Other than as set forth in this Section 4.2(b), no
Partner shall have any right or obligation to make additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership. 

(ii)    Completion Funding Obligation. Upon request by the General Partner, HIP will pay to the
Partnership, or any other Person as directed by the General Partner, any amounts necessary to satisfy its Completion Funding Obligation. Amounts expended by HIP in satisfaction of its Completion Funding Obligation shall not be treated as additional
Capital Contributions by HIP, its Capital Account shall not be increased by the amount so expended, and its Percentage Equity Interest and its Percentage Voting Interest shall not be adjusted. Such amounts expended shall be included in
(x) HIP’s adjusted tax basis in its Limited Partner Interest and (y) the Partnership’s adjusted tax basis in the Gathering Assets. The General Partner may not request additional Capital Contributions from the Partners for amounts
that HIP is obligated to expend in satisfaction of its Completion Funding Obligation. 

(iii)    Warranty for Unanticipated Maintenance Capital Expenditures. As set forth in Article IV of
the Contribution Agreement, HIP shall, upon request, make additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership to the extent necessary to fund Unanticipated Maintenance Capital Expenditures incurred by the Partnership during the period running from
the Effective Date through March 31, 2018; provided, however, that the amount of additional Capital Contributions that HIP shall be obligated to make pursuant to this Section 4.2(b)(iii) shall be limited as set
forth in Article IV of the Contribution Agreement. 
 (iv)    Funding of Other Projects. As set
forth in Section 5.2 of the Contribution Agreement, HIP shall, upon request, make additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership to the extent necessary to fund the payment of costs and expenses attributable to Other Projects of the Hess
North Dakota Pipelines LLC; provided, however, that the amount of additional Capital Contributions that HIP shall be obligated to make pursuant to this Section 4.2(b)(iv) shall be limited as set forth in Section 5.2 of the
Contribution Agreement. 
 (v)    Other Capital Contributions. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 4.2(b)(ii), Section 4.2(b)(iii) and Section 4.2(b)(iv), the General Partner may, at any time, request that Partners make additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership at such times and in such amounts as determined
by the General Partner (a “Capital Request”). Within twenty (20) days of a Capital Request, each Partner may, but shall not be required to, make Capital Contributions pro rata in accordance with each Partner’s
respective Percentage Equity Interest. Any Partner electing not to make all or any portion of the additional Capital Contribution requested of it in a Capital Request (a “Non-Funding
Partner”) shall not have its Percentage Equity Interest or Percentage Voting Interest adjusted. In the event any Partner is a Non-Funding Partner with respect to a Capital Request, each Partner
making the Capital Contribution requested of it pursuant to such Capital Request (each, a “Full Participant”) shall have the option to make additional Capital Contributions representing its proportionate share (based on the
relative Percentage Equity Interest of each Full Participant) of any amount not contributed by the Non-Funding Partner (any such additional Capital Contribution made

  
 16 

 
by a Full Participant being an “Excess Capital Contribution”). The Percentage Equity Interest and Percentage Voting Interest of any Partner making an Excess Capital
Contribution shall not be adjusted as a result of such Excess Capital Contribution. 

Section 4.3    Withdrawal of Capital; Interest. No
Partner may withdraw capital or receive any distributions from the Partnership except as specifically provided herein. No interest shall accrue or be payable by the Partnership on any Capital Contributions. 

Section 4.4    Maintenance of Capital Accounts. The
General Partner shall cause the Partnership to maintain a Capital Account for each Partner in accordance with the provisions set forth in the definition of “Capital Account” in Section 1.1.

distributions described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6),
items of Partnership income and gain shall be allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Partner as quickly as possible;
provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.3(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article V have
been tentatively made as if this Section 5.3(c) were not in this Agreement. 

  
 18 

 (d)    Gross Income Allocation. In the event that any Partner has an
Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Allocation Year, each such Partner shall be allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such deficit as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant

 (e)    Nonrecourse Deductions.
Nonrecourse Deductions for any Allocation Year shall be allocated among the Partners in proportion to their respective Percentage Equity Interests. 

(f)    Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Allocation Year shall be

 (g)    Nonrecourse Liabilities. Nonrecourse Liabilities
of the Partnership described in Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3) shall be allocated among the Partners in the manner chosen by the General Partner and consistent with such section of the Regulations. 

(h)    Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset,
pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into
account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Partner in complete liquidation of such Partner’s Partnership Interest, the amount of such adjustment to Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the
adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in accordance with their interests in the Partnership in the event Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Partner to whom such distribution was made in the event Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

deduction pursuant to this Section 5.4. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Tax Matters
Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is,
to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to Section 5.1,
Section 5.2 and Section 5.3 (other than the Regulatory Allocations). In exercising its discretion under this Section 5.4, the Tax Matters Partner shall take into account
future Regulatory Allocations that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made. 

Section 5.5    Other Allocation Rules. 

(a)    Profits, Losses and any other items of income, gain, loss, or deduction shall be allocated to the Partners pursuant
to this Article V as of the last day of each Fiscal Year; provided, however, that Profits, Losses and such other items shall also be allocated at such times as the Gross Asset Values of the Partnership’s assets are adjusted
pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value” in Section 1.1. 

(b)    For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses and any
such other items shall be determined on a daily proration basis by the General Partner under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder. 

Section 5.6    Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c). 

(a)    Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.6, each item of income, gain, loss and
deduction of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as such items are allocated for book purposes under this Article V. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the
Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any Property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the
adjusted basis of such Property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value (computed in accordance with the definition of “Gross Asset Value”). Such allocation shall be made in accordance with the
“remedial method” described by Regulations Section 1.704-3(d). 

(b)    In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Property is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of the
definition of “Gross Asset Value,” subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such Property shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such Property for federal income tax purposes and
its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder. Such allocation shall be made in accordance with the “remedial method” described by Regulations Section
1.704-3(d). 
 (c)    In accordance with Regulations Sections 1.1245-1(e) and 1.250-1(f), any gain allocated to the Partners upon the sale or other taxable disposition of any Partnership asset shall, to the extent possible, after taking
into account other required allocations of gain pursuant to this 

  
 20 

 
Section 5.6(c), be characterized as “recapture income” in the same proportions and to the same extent as such Partners (or their predecessors in interest) have been allocated any
deductions directly or indirectly giving rise to the treatment of such gains as “recapture income.” 

(d)    Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the General Partner in any manner
that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.6 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into
account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement. 

Section 5.7    Tax Elections. 

(a)    The Partners intend that the Partnership be treated as a partnership or a “disregarded entity” for federal
income tax purposes. Accordingly, neither the Tax Matters Partner nor any Limited Partner shall file any election or return on its own behalf or on behalf of the Partnership that is inconsistent with that intent. 

(b)    The Partnership shall make the election under Code Section 754 in accordance with the applicable Regulations
issued thereunder, subject to the reservation of the right to seek to revoke any such election upon the General Partner’s determination that such revocation is in the best interests of the Partners. 

(c)    Any elections or other decisions relating to tax matters that are not expressly provided herein, shall be made
jointly by the Partners in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. 

Section 5.8    Tax Returns. 

(a)    The Partnership shall cause to be prepared and timely filed all federal, state, local and foreign income tax returns
and reports required to be filed by the Partnership and its subsidiaries. The Partnership shall provide copies of all the Partnership’s federal, state, local and foreign tax returns (and any schedules or other required filings related to such
returns) that reflect items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit that flow to separate Partner returns, to the Partners for their review and comment prior to filing, except as otherwise agreed by the Partners. The Partners agree in good faith
to resolve any difference in the tax treatment of any item affecting such returns and schedules. However, if the Partners are unable to resolve the dispute, the position of the Tax Matters Partner shall be followed if nationally recognized tax
counsel acceptable to the Partners provides an opinion that substantial authority exists for such position. Substantial authority shall be given the meaning ascribed to it for purposes of applying Code Section 6662. If the Partners are unable
to resolve the dispute prior to the due date for filing the return, including approved extensions, the position of the Tax Matters Partner shall be followed, and amended returns shall be filed if necessary at such time the dispute is resolved. The
costs of the dispute shall be borne by the Partnership. The Partners agree to file their separate federal income tax returns in a manner consistent with the Partnership’s return, the provisions of this Agreement and in accordance with
Applicable Law. 

  
 21 

 (b)    The Partnership shall elect the most rapid method of depreciation and
amortization allowed under Applicable Law, unless the Partners agree otherwise. 
 (c)    The Partners shall provide
each other with copies of all correspondence or summaries of other communications with the Internal Revenue Service or any state, local or foreign taxing authority (other than routine correspondence and communications) regarding the tax treatment of
the Partnership’s operations. No Partner shall enter into settlement negotiations with the Internal Revenue Service or any state, local or foreign taxing authority with respect to any issue concerning the Partnership’s income, gains,
losses, deductions or credits if the tax adjustment attributable to such issue (assuming the then current aggregate tax rate) would be $100,000 or greater, without first giving reasonable advance notice of such intended action to the other Partners.

 Section 5.9    Tax Matters Partner. 

(a)    The General Partner shall be the “Tax Matters Partner” of the Partnership within the meaning
of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code, and shall act in any similar capacity under the Applicable Law of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction, but only with respect to returns for which items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit flow to the
separate returns of the Partners. If at any time there is more than one General Partner, the Tax Matters Partner shall be the General Partner with the largest Percentage Equity Interest following such admission. 

(b)    The Tax Matters Partner shall incur no Liability (except as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the Tax Matters Partner) to the Partnership or the other Partners including, but not limited to, Liability for any additional taxes, interest or penalties owed by the other Partners due to adjustments of Partnership items of income, gain, loss,
deduction or credit at the Partnership level. 
 Section 5.10    Duties of Tax Matters Partner. 

(a)    The Tax Matters Partner shall cooperate with the other Partners and shall promptly provide the other Partners with
copies of notices or other materials from, and inform the other Partners of discussions engaged with, the Internal Revenue Service or any state, local or foreign taxing authority and shall provide the other Partners with notice of all scheduled
proceedings, including meetings with agents of the Internal Revenue Service or any state, local or foreign taxing authority, technical advice conferences, appellate hearings, and similar conferences and hearings, as soon as possible after receiving
notice of the scheduling of such proceedings, but in any case prior to the date of such scheduled proceedings. 

(b)    The Tax Matters Partner shall not extend the period of limitations or assessments without the consent of the other
Partners, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (c)    The Tax Matters Partner shall not file a petition
or complaint in any court, or file any claim, amended return or request for an administrative adjustment with respect to partnership items, after any return has been filed, with respect to any issue concerning the Partnership’s income, gains,
losses, deductions or credits if the tax adjustment attributable to such issue (assuming the then current aggregate tax rate) would be $100,000 or greater, unless agreed by 

  
 22 

 
the other Partners. If the other Partners do not agree, the position of the Tax Matters Partner shall be followed if nationally recognized tax counsel acceptable to all Partners issues an opinion
that a reasonable basis exists for such position. Reasonable basis shall be given the meaning ascribed to it for purposes of applying Code Section 6662. The costs of the dispute shall be borne by the Partnership. 

(d)    The Tax Matters Partner shall not enter into any settlement agreement with the Internal Revenue Service or any
state, local or foreign taxing authority, either before or after any audit of the applicable return is completed, with respect to any issue concerning the Partnership’s income, gains, losses, deductions or credits, unless any of the following
apply: 
 (i)    all Partners agree to the settlement; 

(ii)    the tax effect of the issue if resolved adversely would be, and the tax effect of settling the
issue is, proportionately the same for all Partners (assuming each otherwise has substantial taxable income); 

(iii)    the Tax Matters Partner determines that the settlement of the issue is fair to the Partners; or

 (iv)    tax counsel acceptable to all Partners determines that the settlement is fair to all Partners
and is one it would recommend to the Partnership if all Partners were owned by the same Person and each had substantial taxable income. 
 In all events,
the costs incurred by the Tax Matters Partner in performing its duties hereunder shall be borne by the Partnership. 

(e)    The Tax Matters Partner may request extensions to file any tax return or statement without the written consent of,
but shall so inform, the other Partners. 

Section 5.11    Designation and Authority of Partnership
Representative. With respect to tax returns filed for taxable years beginning on or after December 31, 2017, the General Partner (or its designee) will be designated as the “partnership representative” in accordance with the
rules prescribed pursuant to Section 6223 of the Code and shall have the sole authority to act on behalf of the Partnership in connection with all examinations of the Partnership’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting
administrative and judicial proceedings. If at any time there is more than one General Partner, the partnership representative shall be the General Partner with the largest Percentage Equity Interest following such admission (or its designee). The
General Partner (or its designee) shall exercise, in its sole discretion, any and all authority of the “partnership representative” under the Code, including, without limitation, (i) binding the Partnership and its Partners with
respect to tax matters and (ii) determining whether to make any available election under Section 6226 of the Code. In all events, the cost incurred by the partnership representative in performing its duties hereunder shall be borne by the
Partnership. In accordance with Section 13.6, the General Partner shall propose and the Partners shall agree to (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld) any amendment of the provisions of this Agreement required to appropriately to
reflect the proposal or promulgation of Treasury Regulations implementing the partnership audit, assessment and collection rules adopted by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, including any amendments to those rules. 

  
 23 

 Section 5.12    Survival
of Provisions. The provisions of this Agreement regarding the Partnership’s tax returns and Tax Matters Partner shall survive the termination of the Partnership and the transfer of any Partner’s interest in the Partnership
and shall remain in effect for the period of time necessary to resolve any and all matters regarding the federal, state, local and foreign taxation of the Partnership and items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit. 

ARTICLE VI 

DISTRIBUTIONS 

Section 6.1    Distributions of Distributable Cash.
Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.1 or Sections 6.2 and 6.3, the Partnership shall distribute the Distributable Cash with respect to a Quarter within 45 days following the end of
each Quarter commencing with the Quarter that includes the Effective Date as follows: 
 (a)    First, to the Partners
in proportion to, and to the extent of, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the cumulative amount of the Excess Capital Priority Return, if any, accrued during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the last
day of such Quarter, over (ii) the cumulative amount of Distributable Cash previously distributed to such Partner pursuant to this Section 6.1(a); and 

(b)    Second, to the Partners pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Equity Interests. 

The General Partner may also cause the Partnership to distribute cash to the Partners at such other times and in such amounts as it determines in its sole
discretion so long as (i) the amount distributed does not exceed the then Distributable Cash of the Partnership determined as if the date of such distribution were the end of a Quarter and (ii) such cash is distributed in accordance with
Section 6.1(b). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Partnership shall not make a distribution or redemption payment to the Partners on account of their interests in the Partnership if such distribution or redemption
payment would violate the Act or other Applicable Law. 

Section 6.2    Distributions of Excess Capital. The
Partnership may make distributions of cash at such times and in such amounts as are determined by the General Partner to the Partners in proportion to, and to the extent of, the then Excess Capital of the Partners, provided that the Partnership
shall not make a distribution to the Partners pursuant to this Section 6.2 if such distribution would violate (i) the Act or other Applicable Law or (ii) any loan agreement, security agreement, mortgage, debt
instrument or other agreement or obligation to which the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound or any of their respective assets are subject. 

Section 6.3    Liquidating Distributions.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, but subject to the last sentence of Section 6.1, distributions with respect to the Quarter in which a dissolution of the Partnership occurs shall be made in
accordance with Article XII. 

  
 24 

 Section 6.4    
Distribution in Kind. The Partnership shall not distribute to the Partners any assets in kind unless approved by the Partners in accordance with this Agreement. If cash and property in kind are to be distributed
simultaneously, the Partnership shall distribute such cash and property in kind in the same proportion to each Partner, unless otherwise approved by the Partners in accordance with this Agreement. 

ARTICLE VII 
 BOOKS AND
RECORDS 
 Section 7.1    Books and Records;
Examination. The General Partner shall keep or cause to be kept such books of account and records with respect to the Partnership’s business as it may deem necessary and appropriate. Each Partner and its duly authorized
representatives shall have the right, for any purpose reasonably related to its interest in the Partnership, at any time to examine, or to appoint independent certified public accountants (the fees of which shall be paid by such Partner) to examine,
the books, records and accounts of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries, their operations and all other matters that such Partner may wish to examine, including all documentation relating to actual or proposed transactions between the Partnership
and any Partner or any Affiliate of a Partner. The Partnership’s books of account shall be kept using the method of accounting determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion. 

Section 7.2    Reports. The General Partner shall
prepare and send to each Partner (at the same time) promptly such financial information of the Partnership as a Partner shall from time to time reasonably request, for any purpose reasonably related to its interest in the Partnership. The General
Partner shall, for any purpose reasonably related to a Partner’s interest in the Partnership, permit examination and audit of the Partnership’s books and records by both the internal and independent auditors of its Partners.

 ARTICLE VIII 

MANAGEMENT AND VOTING 

Section 8.1    Management. 

(a)    The General Partner shall conduct, direct, manage and control the business of the Partnership. Except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Agreement, including Section 8.1(b) below, all management powers over the business and affairs of the Partnership shall be exclusively vested in the General Partner, and no Limited Partner shall have any management
power or control over the business and affairs of the Partnership. In addition to the powers now or hereafter granted a general partner of a limited partnership under the Act or which are granted to the General Partner under any other provision of
this Agreement, the General Partner, subject to Section 8.2, shall have full power and authority to do all things on such terms as it, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary or appropriate to conduct the business of the
Partnership and to effectuate the purposes set forth in Section 2.4. The Partnership shall reimburse the General Partner, on a monthly basis or such other basis as the General Partner may determine, for all direct and
indirect costs and expenses incurred by the General Partner or payments made by the General Partner, in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership, for and on behalf of the Partnership. 

(b)    The General Partner may appoint one or more individuals to manage the day-to-day business affairs of the Partnership (the “Officers”). The Officers shall serve at the pleasure of the General Partner. To the extent delegated by the General Partner, the
Officers shall have the authority to act on behalf of, bind and execute and deliver documents in the name and on behalf of the Partnership. Unless otherwise specified by the General Partner, such Officers shall have such authority and responsibility
in respect of the Partnership as is generally attributable to holders of such offices in business corporations incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. In addition, the General Partner may designate such other Persons to act as agents
of the Partnership as the General Partner shall determine, and the actions of such other Persons taken in such capacity and in accordance with this Agreement shall bind the Partnership to the same extent the General Partner is authorized to bind the
Partnership. 
 Section 8.2    Matters Constituting Unanimous
Approval Matters. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Act to the contrary, and subject to the provisions of Section 8.3(c), each of the following matters, and only the following matters, shall
constitute a “Unanimous Approval Matter” that requires the prior approval of all of the Partners pursuant to Section 8.3(c): 

(a)    any merger, consolidation, reorganization or similar transaction between or among the Partnership and any Person
(other than a transaction between the Partnership and a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Partnership) or any sale or lease of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets to any Person (other than a direct or indirect
wholly owned Subsidiary of the Partnership); 
 (b)    the creation of any new class of Partnership Interests or Voting
Interests, the issuance of any additional Partnership Interests or Voting Interests or the issuance of any security that is convertible into or exchangeable for a Partnership Interest or Voting Interest; 

  
 26 

 (c)    the admission or withdrawal of any Person as a Partner other than
pursuant to (i) the third sentence of Section 9.2, (ii) Section 9.4 or (iii) any transfer of Partnership Interests pursuant to Section 9.1(b), as applicable; 

(d)    the commencement of a voluntary case with respect to the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries under any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect, or the consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such Applicable Law, or the consent to the appointment of or the taking
possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries or for any substantial part of the Partnership’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ property,
or the making of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; 
 (e)    the modification, alteration or
amendment of the amount, timing, frequency or method of calculation of distributions to the Partners from that provided in Article VI; 

(f)    (i) the approval of any distribution by the Partnership to the Partners of any assets in kind (other than cash or
cash equivalents), (ii) the approval of any distribution by the Partnership to the Partners of cash or property in kind on a non-pro rata basis and (iii) the determination of the value assigned to
distributions of property in kind; 
 (g)    other than as provided in Section 4.2, the making
of any additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership; and 
 (h)    any other provision of this Agreement
expressly requiring the approval, consent or other form of authorization of all of the Partners. 

Section 8.3    Meetings and Voting. 

(a)    Representatives. For purposes of this Article VIII, each Partner shall be represented by a designated
representative (each, a “Representative”), who shall be appointed by, and may be removed with or without cause by, the Partner that designated such Person. Each Representative shall have the full authority to act on behalf of
the Partner that designated such Representative. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Representative shall be deemed the agent of the Partner that appointed such Representative, and such Representative shall not be an agent of the
Partnership or the other Partners. The action of a Representative at a meeting of the Partners (or through a written consent) shall bind the Partner that designated such Representative, and the other Partners shall be entitled to rely upon such
action without further inquiry or investigation as to the actual authority (or lack thereof) of such Representative. 

(b)    Meetings and Voting. Meetings of Partners shall be at such times and locations as the General Partner shall
determine in its sole discretion. The General Partner shall provide notice to the Limited Partners of any meetings of Partners in any manner that it deems reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances. The holders of a majority of the
outstanding Voting Interests for which a meeting has been called (including Voting Interests owned by the General Partner) represented in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of Partners unless any such action by the Partners
requires approval by holders of a greater percentage of the outstanding Voting Interests, in which case the quorum shall be such greater percentage of the 

  
 27 

 
outstanding Voting Interests. At any meeting of the Partners duly called and held in accordance with this Agreement at which a quorum is present, the act of Partners holding Voting Interests
that, in the aggregate, represent a majority of the Voting Interests of those present in person or by proxy at such meeting shall be deemed to constitute the act of all Partners, unless a greater or different percentage is required with respect to
such action under the provisions of this Agreement, in which case the act of the Partners holding Voting Interests that in the aggregate represent at least such greater or different percentage shall be required; provided, however, that if, as
a matter of Applicable Law or amendment to this Agreement, approval by plurality vote of Partners is required to approve any action, no minimum quorum shall be required. The Partners present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is
present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough Partners to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by Partners holding the required Voting Interests
specified in this Agreement. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of Partners may be adjourned from time to time by the affirmative vote of Partners with at least a majority of the Voting Interests entitled to vote at such meeting (including
Voting Interests owned by the General Partner) represented either in person or by proxy, but no other business may be transacted. 

(c)    Unanimous Approval Matters. All Unanimous Approval Matters shall be approved by the unanimous affirmative
vote or written consent of all of the Partners. Each Partner acknowledges and agrees that all references in this Agreement to any approval, consent or other form of authorization by “all Partners,” “each of the Partners” or
similar phrases shall be deemed to mean that such approval, consent or other form of authorization shall constitute a Unanimous Approval Matter that requires the unanimous approval of all of the Partners in accordance with this
Section 8.3(c). 
 (d)    Action Without a Meeting. Any action that may be taken at a
meeting of the Partners may be taken without a meeting if an approval in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by the Partners owning, in the aggregate, not less than the minimum Percentage Voting Interest that would be necessary to
authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all of the Partners were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of action without a meeting shall be given to the Partners who have not approved such action in writing. 

Section 8.4    Reliance by Third Parties. Persons
dealing with the Partnership are entitled to rely conclusively upon the power and authority of the General Partner set forth in this Agreement. Neither a Limited Partner nor its Representative shall have the authority to bind the Partnership or any
of its Subsidiaries. 
 ARTICLE IX 

TRANSFERS OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND VOTING INTERESTS 

Section 9.1    Restrictions on Transfers. 

(a)    General. Except as expressly provided by this Article IX, no Partner shall transfer all or any
part of its Partnership Interests or Voting Interests to any Person without first obtaining the written approval of each of the other Partners, which approval may be granted or withheld in their sole discretion; provided, however, that
any Partner may transfer any of its Partnership 

  
 28 

 
Interests and/or Voting Interests to an Affiliate of such Partner without first obtaining the written approval of each of the other Partners. To the extent that a Partner transfers any of its
Partnership Interests to a Person pursuant to this Section 9.1(a), a proportionate percentage of such Partner’s Voting Interests (based on such Partner’s then-current Percentage Voting Interests relative to its then-current
Percentage Equity Interests) shall be deemed to have been automatically transferred to such Person concurrently therewith. Exhibit A shall be amended without further action by the Partners to reflect any change in the Partnership Interests or
Voting Interests of the Partners made pursuant to this Section 9.1(a). 
 (b)    Transfer by Operation of
Law. Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.1(a) to the contrary, in the event a Partner shall be party to a merger, consolidation or similar business combination transaction with another Person or sell all or substantially all its assets
to another Person, such Partner may transfer all or part of its Partnership Interests and Voting Interests to such other Person without the approval of any other Partner. 

(c)    Re-Designation as General Partner Interest. To the extent that a
Limited Partner transfers any of its Limited Partner Interest to the General Partner, such Limited Partner Interest shall, automatically and without further action by any Person, be re-designated as a General
Partner Interest as of the effective date of such transfer. 
 (d)    Consequences of an Unpermitted Transfer.
Any transfer of a Partner’s Partnership Interests or Voting Interests in violation of the applicable provisions of this Agreement shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be null and void ab initio. 

Section 9.2    Conditions for Admission. No transferee
of all or a portion of the Partnership Interests of any Partner shall be admitted as a Partner hereunder unless such Partnership Interests are transferred in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. Each such transferee shall
have executed and delivered to the Partnership such instruments as the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion to effectuate the admission of such transferee as a Partner and to confirm the agreement of such transferee
to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The admission of a transferee shall be effective immediately prior to such transfer and, immediately following such admission, the transferor shall cease to be a Partner (to the extent
it transferred its entire Partnership Interest). If the General Partner transfers its entire General Partner Interest in the Partnership, the transferee General Partner, to the extent admitted as a substitute General Partner, is hereby authorized
to, and shall, continue the Partnership without dissolution. 

Section 9.3    Allocations and Distributions. Subject
to applicable Regulations, upon the transfer of all the Partnership Interests of a Partner as herein provided, the Profit or Loss of the Partnership attributable to the Partnership Interests so transferred for the Fiscal Year in which such transfer
occurs shall be allocated between the transferor and transferee as of the effective date of the assignment, and such allocation shall be based upon any permissible method agreed to by the Partners that is provided for in Code Section 706 and
the Regulations issued thereunder. 
 Section 9.4    Restriction on
Resignation or Withdrawal. Except in connection with a transfer permitted pursuant to Section 9.1 or as contemplated by Section 12.1, no Partner shall

  
 29 

 
withdraw from the Partnership without the consent of each of the other Partners. To the extent permitted by law, any purported withdrawal from the Partnership in violation of this
Section 9.4 shall be null and void ab initio. 
 ARTICLE X 

LIABILITY, EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION 

Section 10.1    Liability for Partnership Obligations.
Except as otherwise required by the Act, the Liabilities of the Partnership shall be solely the Liabilities of the Partnership, and no Covered Person (other than the General Partner) shall be obligated personally for any such Liability of the
Partnership solely by reason of being a Covered Person. 

Section 10.2    Disclaimer of Duties and Exculpation. 

(a)    Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Covered Person
shall have any duty (fiduciary or otherwise) or obligation to the Partnership, the Partners or to any other Person bound by this Agreement, and in taking, or refraining from taking, any action required or permitted under this Agreement or under
Applicable Law, each Covered Person shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as such Covered Person deems advisable, including its own interests, and need not consider any interest of or factors affecting, any other Covered
Person or the Partnership notwithstanding any duty otherwise existing at law or in equity. To the extent that a Covered Person is required or permitted under this Agreement to act in “good faith” or under another express standard, such
Covered Person shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard under this Agreement or otherwise existing under Applicable Law or in equity. 

(b)    The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties (including fiduciary
duties) and Liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing under Applicable Law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace such other duties and Liabilities of such Covered Person in their entirety, and no Covered Person shall be liable
to the Partnership, the Partners or any other Person bound by this Agreement for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. 

(c)    To the fullest extent permitted by law, no Covered Person shall be liable to the Partnership, the Partners or any
other Person bound by this Agreement for any cost, expense, loss, damage, claim or Liability incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in such capacity, whether or not such Person continues to be a Covered
Person at the time of such cost, expense, loss, damage, claim or Liability is incurred or imposed, if the Covered Person acted in good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such
Covered Person had no reasonable cause to believe its conduct was unlawful. 
 (d)    A Covered Person shall be fully
protected from liability to the Partnership, the Partners and any other Person bound by this Agreement in acting or refraining from acting in good faith reliance upon the records of the Partnership and such other information, opinions, reports or
statements presented to the Partnership by any Person as to any matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and 

  
 30 

 
who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Partnership, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, Liabilities,
Profits and Losses of the Partnership. 

Section 10.3    Indemnification. 

(a)    To the fullest extent permitted by law but subject to the limitations expressly provided in this Agreement, all
Covered Persons shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest,
settlements or other amounts arising from any and all threatened, pending or completed claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal and including appeals, in
which any Covered Person may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its status as a Covered Person and acting (or refraining to act) in such capacity on behalf of or for the benefit of the Partnership;
provided, that the Covered Person shall not be indemnified and held harmless pursuant to this Agreement if there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction
determining that, in respect of the matter for which the Covered Person is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, the Covered Person acted in bad faith or engaged in intentional fraud, willful misconduct or, in the case of a criminal
matter, acted with knowledge that the Covered Person’s conduct was unlawful. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.3 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership, it being agreed that the General
Partner shall not be personally liable for such indemnification and shall have no obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Partnership to enable it to effectuate such indemnification. 

(b)    To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by a Covered Person
who is indemnified pursuant to Section 10.3(a) in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Partnership prior to a final and non-appealable
judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for which the Covered Person is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.3, the Covered Person is not entitled to
be indemnified upon receipt by the Partnership of any undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be ultimately determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized by this
Section 10.3. 
 (c)    The indemnification provided by this
Section 10.3 shall be in addition to any other rights to which a Covered Person may be entitled under any agreement, as a matter of law, in equity or otherwise, both as to actions in the Covered Person’s capacity as a
Covered Person and as to actions in any other capacity, and shall continue as to a Covered Person who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Covered Person.

 ARTICLE XI 

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST 

Section 11.1    Transactions with Affiliates. The
Partnership and its Subsidiaries shall be permitted to enter into or renew or extend the term of any agreement or transaction with a Partner or an Affiliate of a Partner on such terms and conditions as the General Partner shall approve in its sole
discretion, without the approval of any Limited Partner. 

Section 11.2    Outside Activities. To
the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any duty otherwise existing at law or in equity, (a) the engaging in activities by any Covered Person that are competitive with the business of
the Partnership is hereby approved by all Partners, (b) it shall be deemed not to be a breach of any fiduciary duty or any other duty or obligation of a Partner under this Agreement or otherwise existing under Applicable Law or in equity for
such Covered Person to engage in such activities in preference to or to the exclusion of the Partnership, (c) a Covered Person shall have no obligation under this Agreement or as a result of any duty (including any fiduciary duty) otherwise
existing under Applicable Law or in equity, to present business opportunities to the Partnership and (d) the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any analogous doctrine, shall not apply to any Covered Person, provided such Covered
Person does not engage in such activity as a result of or using confidential or proprietary information provided by or on behalf of the Partnership to such Covered Person. 

ARTICLE XII 
 DISSOLUTION
AND TERMINATION 
 Section 12.1    Dissolution.
The Partnership shall be dissolved and its business and affairs wound up upon the earliest to occur of any one of the following events: 

(a)    at any time there are no Limited Partners of the Partnership, unless the business of the Partnership is continued
in accordance with the Act; 
 (b)    the written consent of all the Partners; 

(c)    an “event of withdrawal” (as defined in the Act) of the General Partner; or 

(d)    the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to
Section 17-802 of the Act. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership shall not be dissolved and its
business and affairs shall not be wound up upon the occurrence of any event specified in clause (c) above if, at the time of occurrence of such event, there is at least one remaining General Partner (who is hereby authorized to, and shall,
carry on the business of the Partnership) and at least one Limited Partner, or if within ninety (90) days after the date on which such event occurs, the remaining Partners elect in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the
appointment, effective as of the date of such event, if required, of one or more additional General Partners of the Partnership. Except as provided in this paragraph, and to the fullest extent permitted by the Act, the occurrence of an event that
causes a Partner to cease to be a Partner of the Partnership 

  
 32 

 
shall not, in and of itself, cause the Partnership to be dissolved or its business or affairs to be wound up, and upon the occurrence of such an event, the business of the Partnership shall, to
the extent permitted by the Act, continue without dissolution. 

Section 12.2    Winding Up of Partnership. Upon
dissolution, the Partnership’s business shall be wound up in an orderly manner. The General Partner shall (unless the General Partner (or, if no General Partner, the remaining Limited Partners) elects to appoint a liquidating trustee) wind up
the affairs of the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement. In winding up the Partnership, the General Partner or liquidating trustee is authorized to sell, distribute, exchange or otherwise dispose of the assets of the Partnership in accordance with
the Act and in any reasonable manner that the General Partner or liquidating trustee shall determine to be in the best interest of the Partners or their
successors-in-interest. The General Partner or liquidating trustee shall take full account of the Partnership’s Liabilities and Property and shall cause the
Property or the proceeds from the sale thereof, to the extent sufficient therefor, to be applied and distributed, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, in the following order: 

(a)    First, to creditors, including Partners who are creditors, to the extent permitted by law, in satisfaction of all
of the Partnership’s Liabilities (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof to the extent required by Section 17-804 of the Act), other than Liabilities for
distribution to Partners under Section 17-601 or 17-604 of the Act; 

(b)    Second, to the Partners and former Partners of the Partnership in satisfaction of Liabilities for distributions
under Sections 17-601 or 17-604 of the Act; and 

(c)    The balance, if any, to the Partners in accordance with the positive balance in their respective Capital Accounts,
after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all periods. 

Section 12.3    Compliance with Certain Requirements of Regulations;
Deficit Capital Accounts. In the event the Partnership is “liquidated” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), distributions shall be made pursuant to
this Article XII to the Partners who have positive Capital Accounts in compliance with Regulations Section 1.704- 1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2). If any Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account
(after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all Allocation Years, including the Allocation Year during which such liquidation occurs), such Partner shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of
the Partnership with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Partnership or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever. 

Section 12.4    Deemed Distribution and
Recontribution. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XII, in the event the Partnership is liquidated within the meaning of Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) but no actual dissolution and winding up under the Act has occurred, the Property shall not be liquidated, the Partnership’s debts and other Liabilities shall not be paid or
discharged, and the Partnership’s affairs shall not be wound up. Instead, solely for federal income tax purposes, the Partnership shall be deemed to have contributed all its Property and Liabilities to a new limited partnership in exchange for
an interest in such new limited partnership and, immediately thereafter, the Partnership will be deemed to liquidate by distributing interests in the new limited partnership to the Partners. 

  
 33 

Section 12.5    Distribution of Property. In the event
the General Partner determines that it is necessary in connection with the winding up of the Partnership to make a distribution of property in kind, such property shall be transferred and conveyed to the Partners so as to vest in each of them as a
tenant in common an undivided interest in the whole of such property, but otherwise in accordance with Section 12.3. 

Section 12.6    Termination of Partnership. The
Partnership shall terminate when all assets of the Partnership, after payment of or due provision for all Liabilities of the Partnership, shall have been distributed to the Partners in the manner provided for in this Agreement, and the Certificate
shall have been canceled in the manner provided by the Act. 
 ARTICLE XIII 

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 13.1    Notices. Any notice, consent or
approval to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given if delivered: (a) personally by a reputable courier service that requires a signature upon delivery; (b) by mailing the same via
registered or certified first-class mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested; or (c) by telecopying or transmitting by electronic mail the same with receipt confirmation to the intended recipient. Any such writing will be deemed to have

deposit of the same into the mails as described above; and (iii) as of the date and time electronically transmitted in the case of telecopy or electronic mail delivery as described above, in each case addressed to the intended party at the

Section 13.2    Integration. This Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings pertaining thereto. 

Section 13.3    Assignment. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, a Partner shall not assign all or any of its rights, obligations or benefits under this Agreement to any other Person otherwise than (a) in connection with a transfer of its Partnership Interests and Voting Interests pursuant
to Article IX or (ii) with the prior written consent of each of the other Partners, which consent may be withheld in such Partner’s sole discretion, and any attempted assignment not in compliance with Article IX or this
Section 13.3 shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be null and void ab initio. 

Section 13.4    Parties in Interest. This Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. 

Section 13.5    Counterparts. This Agreement may be

 34 

Section 13.6    Amendment; Waiver. Subject to
Section 2.2, this Agreement may not be amended except in a written instrument signed by each of the Partners and expressly stating it is an amendment to this Agreement. Any failure or delay on the part of any Partner in
exercising any power or right hereunder shall not operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power hereunder
or otherwise available under Applicable Law or in equity. 

Section 13.7    Severability. If any term, provision,
covenant, or restriction in this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance, at any time or to any extent, is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the
remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement (or the application of such provision in other jurisdictions or to Persons or circumstances other than those to which it was held invalid or unenforceable) shall in no
way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any such term, provision, covenant or restriction shall be restricted in applicability or reformed to the minimum extent required for such to be enforceable.
This provision shall be interpreted and enforced to give effect to the original written intent of the Partners prior to the determination of such invalidity or unenforceability. 

Section 13.8    Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THEREOF. ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OR PROCEEDING RELATED TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT, OR ANY TRANSACTION OR CONDUCT IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, IS HEREBY WAIVED BY EACH OF THE PARTNERS. 

Section 13.9    No Bill for Accounting. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, in no event shall any Partner have any right to file a bill for an accounting or any similar proceeding. 

Section 13.10    Waiver of Partition. Each Partner
hereby waives any right to partition of the Partnership property. 

Section 13.11    Third Parties. Nothing herein
expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give any Person (other than Covered Persons) other than the Partners and their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns any rights, remedies or basis
for reliance upon, under or by reason of this Agreement.

expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this Agreement (other than

occurring after the date hereof as a result of the adoption of any proposals set forth in the Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in February 2016, or any other proposals
issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in connection therewith, in each case if such change would require the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases or similar agreements that were not classified as Capital
Leases under GAAP as in effect on the date hereof and (ii) without giving effect to (A) any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825, Financial Instruments, or any successor thereto (including pursuant to the Accounting
Standards Codification), to value any Debt or other obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries at “fair value”, as defined therein, or (B) any treatment of indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under
Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and

the effect of any change occurring after the date hereof in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision
hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before
such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision is amended in accordance herewith. 

(b) All pro forma computations required to be made hereunder giving effect to any transaction shall be calculated after giving pro forma
effect thereto (and, in the case of any pro forma computations made hereunder to determine whether such Material Acquisition, Material Disposition or other transaction is permitted to be consummated hereunder, to any other such transaction
consummated since the first day of the period covered by any component of such pro forma computation and on or prior to the date of such computation) as if such transaction had occurred on the first day of the period of four consecutive fiscal
quarters ending with the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements shall have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) (or, prior to the delivery of any such financial statements, ending with the last fiscal quarter
included in the financial statements referred to in Section 3.04(a)), and, to the extent applicable, to the historical earnings and cash flows associated with the assets acquired or disposed of and any related incurrence or reduction of Debt,
all in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act. If any Debt bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Debt shall be

  
 40 

 
calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Swap Agreement applicable to such Debt if such Swap
Agreement has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). 
 SECTION 1.05. Effectuation of Transactions. All references herein to the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries on the Availability Date shall be deemed to be references to such Persons, and all the representations and warranties of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
on the Availability Date shall be deemed made, in each case, after giving effect to the Contribution and the other Transactions to occur on the Availability Date, unless the context otherwise requires. 

ARTICLE II 
 The Credits

 SECTION 2.01. Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees to make Revolving Loans to the
Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided that after giving effect to each Revolving Loan (a) no Lender’s Revolving
Credit Exposure shall exceed such Lender’s Commitment and (b) the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures of all the Lenders shall not exceed the sum of the Commitments of all the Lenders. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. 
 SECTION 2.02. Loans and Borrowings.
(a) Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans of the same Type made by the Lenders, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. Each Swingline Loan shall be made in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 2.04. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no
Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. 
 (b) Subject to Section 2.13, each
Revolving Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans, as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith, and shall be in dollars. Each Swingline Loan shall be in dollars. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by
causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 (c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount
that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000. At the time that each ABR Revolving Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an 

  
 41 

 
integral multiple of $1,000,000; provided that an ABR Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments or that is
required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). Each Swingline Borrowing shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000; provided that a Swingline Borrowing may be in an
aggregate amount that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any
time be more than a total of 10 outstanding Eurodollar Revolving Borrowings. 
 SECTION 2.03. Requests for Revolving Borrowings. To
request a Revolving Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the
proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of any ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly
by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in
compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing; 

(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; 

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; 

(iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period
contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and 
 (v) the location and number of the account of
the Borrower to which funds are to be disbursed or, in the case of any ABR Revolving Borrowing requested to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), the identity of the Issuing Bank that made such LC
Disbursement. 
 If no election as to the Type of Revolving Borrowing is specified, then the requested Revolving Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no
Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of seven days (if generally available) or otherwise of one month’s duration.
Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

 SECTION 2.04. Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Swingline Lender agrees to make
Swingline Loans to the 

  
 42 

 
Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $50,000,000, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans of any Swingline Lender exceeding the Swingline Commitment of such Swingline Lender, (iii) the Revolving Credit Exposure
of any Lender exceeding its Commitment, (iv) the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures of all the Lenders exceeding the sum of the Commitments of all the Lenders or (v) the sum of the Swingline Exposure attributable to Swingline Loans
maturing after any Existing Maturity Date and the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit expiring after such Existing Maturity Date exceeding the sum of the Commitments that shall have been extended to a date after the latest maturity date of
such Swingline Loans and the latest expiration date of such Letters of Credit; provided that no Swingline Lender shall be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to
the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. The failure of any Swingline Lender to make any Swingline Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Swingline Lender of its
obligations hereunder; provided that the Swingline Commitments of the Swingline Lenders are several and no Swingline Lender shall be responsible for any other Swingline Lender’s failure to make Swingline Loans as required. 

(b) To request a Swingline Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and each applicable Swingline Lender of such request
by telephone not later than 2:30 p.m., New York City time, on the day of the proposed Swingline Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a
written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and each applicable Swingline Lender and signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the Swingline Lender or Swingline Lenders that
are requested to provide the requested Swingline Borrowing, the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount of the requested Swingline Loan to be made by each Swingline Lender and the location and number of the account of the
Borrower to which funds are to be disbursed or, in the case of any Swingline Borrowing requested to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), the identity of the Issuing Bank that has made such LC
Disbursement. Promptly following the receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Swingline Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Swingline Lender’s
Swingline Loan to be made as part of the requested Swingline Borrowing. Each Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan to be made by it hereunder available to the Borrower by means of a wire transfer to the account specified in such Borrowing
Request or to the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. 

(c) Any Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on any
Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the outstanding Swingline Loans made by such Swingline Lender. Such notice shall 

  
 43 

 
specify the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans made by such Swingline Lender in which Lenders will be required to participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent
will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay, upon receipt of notice as provided above,
to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that, in making any Swingline Loan, each Swingline Lender
shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the representation and warranty of the Borrower deemed made pursuant to Section 4.03. Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the
Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same
manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders pursuant to this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent
shall promptly remit to the applicable Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and
thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the applicable Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by any Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other Persons on behalf of the Borrower)
in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by such Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly
remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to such Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to such
Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not
constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligations to repay such Swingline Loan. 
 (d) From time to time, the Borrower
may by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders designate as additional Swingline Lenders one or more Lenders or Affiliates of a Lender or Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Lender or such
Affiliate of any appointment as a Swingline Lender hereunder shall be evidenced by a written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such accepting Lender or Affiliate, which shall set forth the Swingline Commitment of such Lender
or Affiliate, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Lender or Affiliate shall have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references
herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to include such Lender or Affiliate in its capacity as a Swingline Lender. 

  
 44 

 SECTION 2.05. Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Borrower, at its option, may request any Issuing Bank or Issuing Banks to issue for the account of the Borrower Letters of Credit denominated in dollars, in form and on terms reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Banks, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of
letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. A Letter of Credit
issued by an Issuing Bank will only be of a type approved for issuance hereunder by such Issuing Bank (it being understood and agreed that standby Letters of Credit shall be deemed of the type that is approved), and issuance, amendment, extension
and renewal of Letters of Credit shall be subject to its customary policies and procedures for issuance of letters of credit. An Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any order, judgment or decree of any
Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law, rule, regulation or orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to such Issuing Bank or any
request, rule, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit
generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in
effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it. 

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the
amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit (other than an automatic renewal permitted under this paragraph)), the Borrower shall hand deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so
have been approved by the recipient) to an Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, no later than the applicable LC Notice Time, (i) a Notice of LC Request requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to
be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section),
the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit and (ii) unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable
Issuing Bank, a completed and executed letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each
Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed $150,000,000, (ii) the portion of the LC
Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank shall not exceed the LC Commitment of such Issuing Bank 

  
 45 

 
(unless otherwise agreed by such Issuing Bank), (iii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed the Commitment of such Lender, (iv) the sum of the Revolving Credit
Exposures of all the Lenders shall not exceed the sum of the Commitments of all the Lenders and (v) the sum of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit expiring after any Existing Maturity Date and the Swingline Exposure attributable
to Swingline Loans maturing after such Existing Maturity Date shall not exceed the sum of the Commitments that shall have been extended to a date after the latest expiration date of such Letters of Credit and the latest maturity date of such
Swingline Loans. A Letter of Credit shall not be issued or renewed (other than any renewal pursuant to automatic renewal provisions thereof after the date on which the applicable Issuing Bank ceases to have the right to prevent such renewal), or
amended to increase the stated amount thereof or extend the expiration date thereof, if the Issuing Bank that is the issuer thereof shall have received written notice from the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at least one
Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance, renewal or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit (or, in the case of an automatic renewal, at least one Business Day prior to the time by which election not to renew must be made by the
applicable Issuing Bank), that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 4.03 shall not be satisfied. Each Issuing Bank shall promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) notify the Administrative Agent of each issuance,
amendment, renewal, extension or expiry of, and of each drawing under, each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, and shall provide to the Administrative Agent such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to
the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. Without limiting the foregoing, each Issuing Bank shall deliver a Notice of LC Activity to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower within one Business Day of the issuance, amendment, renewal,
extension or expiry of, and of each drawing under, a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. Such Notice of LC Activity shall include, to the extent applicable, (A) a copy of the applicable Letter of Credit (or, if applicable, any
amendment thereof), (B) information with respect to the stated amount, beneficiary and expiration date of such Letter of Credit and (C) information with respect to the amendment, renewal, extension or expiry of, or drawing under, such
Letter of Credit. 
 (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the date
that is 30 Business Days prior to the Maturity Date. 
 (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to
a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank that is the issuer thereof hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires
from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each
Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the
Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that (i) its

  
 46 

 
obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including
any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Commitments, or any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform
practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of ISP 98 or any successor publication of the International Chamber of Commerce) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the expiration thereof or
of the Commitments, and (ii) each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that, in issuing, amending, renewing or extending any Letter of Credit,
the applicable Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the representation and warranty of the Borrower deemed made pursuant to Section 2.05(b) or 4.03. 

(e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse
such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, not later than the next Business Day following the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the
Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date such LC Disbursement is made, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later
than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day next following the date on which the Borrower receives such notice by such time; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in
accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or a Swingline Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent such Issuing Bank shall have received the proceeds thereof as contemplated by
Section 2.06(a), the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent
shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis
mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders pursuant to this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the
Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to
reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR
Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 

  
 47 

 (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as
provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any
respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of
Credit, (iv) any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of ISP 98 or any successor publication of the International
Chamber of Commerce) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the stated expiration date thereof or of the Commitments or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that
might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, or any
of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the
circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document
required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Banks; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing
Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law)
suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree
that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care
in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a
Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make
payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 
 (g) Disbursement
Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower by telephone (confirmed in writing) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC 

  
 48 

 
Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders
with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 
 (h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless
the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that
the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then
Section 2.12(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this
Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand has been made, on the date on which the Borrower reimburses the applicable LC Disbursement
in full. 
 (i) Replacement of Issuing Banks. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and the successor Issuing Bank, and consented to by the replaced Issuing Bank (such agreements and consent not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld), which agreement shall set forth the LC Commitment of the successor
Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced
Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as
the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall, unless otherwise provided in such written agreement, remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and, if any Letters
of Credit issued by it shall continue to be outstanding, the obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of
Credit. 
 (j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower
receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposures representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash
collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date
plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and 

  
 49 

 
such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in
clause (g) or (h) of Article VII. The Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral in accordance with this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.19. Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as
collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any
interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or
profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Security Documents, be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse any Issuing Bank for LC
Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been
accelerated (but subject to (i) the consent of Lenders with LC Exposures representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure and (ii) in the case of any such application at a time when any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (but only
if, after giving effect thereto, the remaining cash collateral shall be less than the aggregate LC Exposure of all the Defaulting Lenders), the consent of each Issuing Bank), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three
Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.19, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned
to the Borrower as promptly as practicable to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, no Issuing Bank shall have any exposure in respect of any outstanding Letter of Credit that is not fully covered by the Commitments of the
Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or the remaining cash collateral and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
 (k)
Designation of Additional Issuing Banks. From time to time, the Borrower may by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Lenders (or any Affiliate of any such Lender as agreed
between such Lender and the Borrower) that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Lender or such Lender’s Affiliate of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by a written agreement among
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such accepting Lender or its Affiliate, as the case may be, which shall set forth the LC Commitment of such Lender or its Affiliate, as the case may be, and, from and after the effective date of such
agreement, (i) such Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall
be deemed to include such Lender or its Affiliate in its capacity as an Issuing Bank. 

  
 50 

 (l) LC Exposure Determination. For all purposes of this Agreement, the amount of a Letter
of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all
such increases (other than any such increase consisting of the reinstatement of an amount previously drawn thereunder and reimbursed), whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at the time of determination. 

SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof
by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders, such transfers to be made by (i) 12:00 p.m., New York City time, in the case of
Eurodollar Borrowings and (ii) 3:00 p.m., New York City time, in the case of ABR Borrowings, in each case on the date such Loan is made; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The
Administrative Agent will make such amounts available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that
ABR Revolving Loans made to refinance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank. 

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will
not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may,
in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the
Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or
(ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. 

SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable
Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request or as otherwise provided in Section 2.03. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such
Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to
different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which 

  
 51 

 
case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate
Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued. 
 (b) To make an election
pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the
Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest
Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. 
 (c) Each telephonic and written Interest
Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the Borrowing to which
such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant
to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the
election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the resulting
Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar
Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of seven days (if generally available) or otherwise of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Promptly following
receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of
the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Revolving Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no

  
 52 

 
outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Revolving
Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 SECTION 2.08. Termination, Reduction, Extension and Increase of
Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments, the LC Commitments and the Swingline Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. 

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the aggregate amount of the Commitments; provided that
(i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any
concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, (A) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender would exceed its Commitment or (B) the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures of all the Lenders would exceed the total
Commitments. 
 (c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under
paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent
shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such
notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date), if such condition is not
satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders based on their respective Commitments. 

(d) The Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) given not less than
30 days prior to the Maturity Date at any time in effect (but not more than once in any calendar year), request that the Lenders extend the Maturity Date for an additional one-year period (a “Maturity Extension Request”);
provided that there shall not be more than two extensions of the Maturity Date under this paragraph during the term of this Agreement; provided further that after giving effect to any such extension, the Maturity Date shall be no later
than the date that is four years after the effective date of such extension. Each Lender shall, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent given not later than the 20th day after the date of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the
Borrower’s Maturity Extension Request, advise the Borrower whether or not it agrees to the requested extension (each Lender agreeing to a requested extension being called a “Consenting Lender” and each Lender declining to agree
to a requested extension being called a “Declining Lender”). Any Lender that has not so advised the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such day shall be deemed to have declined to agree to such extension and shall be a
Declining Lender. If Lenders constituting the Required Lenders 

  
 53 

 
shall have agreed to a Maturity Extension Request, then the Maturity Date shall, as to the Consenting Lenders, be extended by one year to the anniversary of the Maturity Date theretofore in
effect. The decision to agree or withhold agreement to any Maturity Extension Request shall be at the sole discretion of each Lender. The Commitment of each Declining Lender shall terminate on the Maturity Date in effect prior to giving effect
to any such extension (such Maturity Date being called the “Existing Maturity Date”). The principal amount of any outstanding Loans made by Declining Lenders, together with any accrued interest thereon and any accrued fees and other
amounts payable to or for the account of such Declining Lenders hereunder, shall be due and payable on the Existing Maturity Date, and on the Existing Maturity Date the Borrower shall also make such other prepayments of their respective Loans
pursuant to Section 2.10 as shall be required in order that, after giving effect to the termination of the Commitments of, and all payments to, Declining Lenders pursuant to this sentence, (i) no Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure
shall exceed such Lender’s Commitment and (ii) the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures of all the Lenders shall not exceed the sum of the Commitments of all the Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no extension of the
Maturity Date pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective unless the Administrative Agent shall have received documents consistent with those delivered under Sections 4.02(b) through 4.02(d), giving effect to such extension, and
(ii) the Maturity Date and the Availability Period, as such terms are used in reference to any Issuing Bank or any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank or in reference to any Swingline Lender or any Swingline Loans, may not be extended
with respect to any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender without the prior written consent of such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender, as applicable (it being understood and agreed that, in the event any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender, as
applicable, shall not have consented to any such extension, (A) such Issuing Bank shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder, and such Swingline Lender shall continue to have all the rights and
obligations of a Swingline Lender hereunder, in each case through the applicable Existing Maturity Date (or the Availability Period determined on the basis thereof, as applicable), and thereafter shall have no obligation to issue, amend, extend or
renew any Letter of Credit or to make any Swingline Loan, as applicable (but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.14, 2.16, 9.03 and 9.09 as to Letters of Credit issued or Swingline Loans made prior to such time),
and (B) the Borrower shall cause the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank to be zero no later than the day on which such LC Exposure would have been required to have been reduced to zero in accordance with
the terms hereof without giving effect to the effectiveness of the extension of the applicable Existing Maturity Date pursuant to this paragraph (and, in any event, no later than such Existing Maturity Date) and shall repay the principal amount of
all outstanding Swingline Loans, together with any accrued interest thereon, on the Existing Maturity Date). 
 (e) The Borrower may on one
or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, executed by the Borrower and one or more Persons that are Eligible Assignees (any such Persons being called an “Increasing Lender”), which may include any Lender,
cause new Commitments to be extended by the Increasing Lenders or cause the existing Commitments of the Increasing Lenders to be increased, as the case may be (any such extension or increase, a “Commitment Increase”), in an amount
for 

  
 54 

 
each Increasing Lender set forth in such notice; provided that (i) the aggregate amount of all Commitment Increases effected pursuant to this paragraph shall not exceed $100,000,000,
(ii) each Increasing Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender (which in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
(iii) each Increasing Lender and the Borrower shall execute and deliver such incremental commitment agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall specify to evidence such Commitment Increase and such Lender’s
Commitment and/or its status as a Lender hereunder and (iv) no Lender shall be required to participate in any Commitment Increase. On the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) of any Commitment Increase, (i) the
aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding (the “Outstanding Loans”) immediately prior to giving effect to such Commitment Increase on the Increase Effective Date shall be deemed to be paid; (ii) each
Increasing Lender that shall have been a Lender prior to such Commitment Increase shall pay to the Administrative Agent in same day funds an amount equal to the difference between (A) the product of (1) such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage (calculated after giving effect to such Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the amount of the Subsequent Borrowings (as hereinafter defined) and (B) the product of (1) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated
without giving effect to such Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the amount of the Outstanding Loans; (iii) each Increasing Lender that shall not have been a Lender prior to such Commitment Increase shall pay to the Administrative
Agent in same day funds an amount equal to the product of (A) such Increasing Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated after giving effect to such Commitment Increase) multiplied by (B) the amount of the Subsequent Borrowings;
(iv) after the Administrative Agent receives the funds specified in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Non-Increasing Lender the portion of such funds that is equal to the difference between
(A) the product of (1) such Non-Increasing Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated without giving effect to such Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the amount of the Outstanding Loans, and (B) the product of
(1) such Non-Increasing Lender’s Applicable Percentage (calculated after giving effect to such Commitment Increase) multiplied by (2) the amount of the Subsequent Borrowings; (v) after the effectiveness of such Commitment
Increase, the Borrower shall be deemed to have made new Borrowings (the “Subsequent Borrowings”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Loans of the Types and for the Interest
Periods specified in a borrowing request delivered in accordance with Section 2.03; (vi) each Non-Increasing Lender and each Increasing Lender shall be deemed to hold its Applicable Percentage of each Subsequent Borrowing (each calculated
after giving effect to such Commitment Increase); and (vii) the Borrower shall pay to each Increasing Lender and each Non-Increasing Lender any and all accrued but unpaid interest on the Outstanding Loans. The deemed payments made pursuant to
clause (i) above in respect of each Eurodollar Revolving Loan shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.15 if the Increase Effective Date occurs other than on the last day of the Interest
Period relating thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the aggregate Commitments (or in the Commitment of any Lender) or addition of a new Lender shall become effective under this paragraph unless, (i) on the Increase Effective
Date, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of 

  
 55 

 
Section 4.03 shall be satisfied (with all references in such paragraphs to a Credit Event being deemed to be references to such increase or addition) and (ii) the Administrative Agent
shall have received documents consistent with those delivered under Sections 4.02(b) through 4.02(d), giving effect to such increase or addition. 

SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan made to the Borrower on the Maturity Date applicable to such Revolving Loan and (ii) to each Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal
amount of each Swingline Loan made by such Swingline Lender on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the date that is the seventh day after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the
Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding and the proceeds of any such Borrowing shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to prepay all Swingline Loans then outstanding on a pro rata basis. 

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to
such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender to the Borrower, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender by the Borrower from time to time hereunder. 

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made to the Borrower hereunder,
the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum
received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (d) The entries made
in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall, absent manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any
Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and
deliver to such Lender a nonnegotiable promissory note substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F (a “Note”) payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its permitted registered assigns).
Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Notes and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the payee named therein (or, if such Note is a registered
Note, to such payee and its permitted registered assigns). 
 SECTION 2.10. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the
right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing made by it in whole or 

  
 56 

 
in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000. 
 (b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of a prepayment of a
Swingline Borrowing, each applicable Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed in writing) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City
time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 2:30 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iii) in
the case of prepayment of a Swingline Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or
portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if
such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial
prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Class and Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans
included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12. 

SECTION 2.11. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee (a
“Facility Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender (whether used or unused) during the period from and including the Availability Date to but excluding the date on which
such Commitment terminates; provided that, if such Lender continues to have any Revolving Credit Exposure after its Commitment terminates, then such Facility Fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s Revolving
Credit Exposure from and including the date on which its Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Revolving Credit Exposure. Accrued Facility Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March,
June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof; provided that any Facility Fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments
terminate shall be payable on demand. All Facility Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (i) for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its
participations in Letters of Credit (an “LC Participation Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate used to determine interest on Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any
portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC 

  
 57 

 
Disbursements) during the period from and including the Availability Date but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender
ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) for the account of each Issuing Bank, a fronting fee (a “Fronting Fee”), which shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.15% per annum (or, with respect to any Issuing Bank, such lesser
amount as may be agreed between such Issuing Bank and the Borrower) and be payable on the aggregate face amount outstanding of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable
to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Availability Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing
Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. LC Participation Fees and Fronting Fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June,
September and December of each year shall be payable on the 15th day of the month following such last day (or, if such 15th day is
not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day), commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing
after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All LC Participation Fees and Fronting Fees shall
be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders, for their own accounts, fees payable in the amounts and at
the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and such other parties. 
 (d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates
due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to an Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of Facility Fees and LC Participation Fees, to the Lenders. Absent manifest error, fees paid
shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 
 (e) Within 10 days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower (commencing with
the first fiscal quarter ending after the Availability Date), the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower a schedule (i) stating the aggregate amount of LC Participation Fees due and payable with respect to such fiscal quarter and
(ii) stating the aggregate amount of Fronting Fees due and payable to each Issuing Bank with respect to such fiscal quarter. Promptly after receipt of each such schedule, (x) the Borrower shall compare such amounts with its own
calculations of the LC Participation Fees and Fronting Fees due and payable with respect to such fiscal quarter and (y) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall discuss the amounts set forth in each such schedule and shall, subject to
the next sentence, agree on the amount of such fees to be paid by the Borrower for such fiscal quarter. Neither the failure of the Administrative Agent to deliver any such schedule, nor the inaccuracy of any such schedule, shall relieve the Borrower
of its obligations to pay such fees hereunder. In the event the Borrower 

  
 58 

 
pays any such fees based on any such schedule or any such agreement by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and the amount so paid by the Borrower is insufficient to satisfy its actual
payment obligations under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section, then the Borrower shall remain liable for any such deficiency and the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent (for its account, the account of the applicable Issuing
Banks and/or the account of the Lenders, as applicable) the amount of any such deficiency within two Business Days of demand therefor. 

SECTION 2.12. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Revolving Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the
Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (c) Each
Swingline Loan shall bear interest, for any day, at a rate per annum equal to the Swingline Benchmark Rate for such day plus (i) if such Swingline Benchmark Rate is determined by reference to clause (a) of the definition of such term, then
the Applicable Rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans and (ii) if such Swingline Benchmark Rate is determined by reference to clause (b) of the definition of such term, then the Applicable Rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans;
provided that if any Swingline Lender shall have provided any notice pursuant to Section 2.04(c), then from and after the date of such notice (and until the Lenders shall hold no participations in any Swingline Loans) each Swingline Loan
shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans. 
 (d)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear
interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided above or (ii) in the case of any other
amount, 2% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided above. 
 (e) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be
payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any
Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, (iii) in the event of
any conversion of any Eurodollar Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion and (iv) all accrued interest shall be payable
upon termination of the Commitments. 
 (f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that
interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and shall be payable for the
actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate, LIBO Rate or Swingline Benchmark Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 59 

 SECTION 2.13. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest
Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or 

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that because of a change in circumstances affecting the
eurodollar market generally the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, continuing, converting or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest
Period; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice (which may be telephonic) thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable
thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing
to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Revolving Borrowing. 

SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan
requirement or insurance charge) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank; or 

(ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than
Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participations therein; or 
 (iii)
subject any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (e) of the definition of the term “Excluded Taxes” and
(C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; 

  
 60 

 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the
Administrative Agent of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost of such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent of participating in,
issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent
hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuing
Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, for such additional costs or expense incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any
Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such
Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments, the Swingline Commitment or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or
the LC Commitment of or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law
(taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay
to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

(c) A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or
its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part
of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be
required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than three months prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the three-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

  
 61 

 SECTION 2.15. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Revolving Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under
Section 2.10(b) and is revoked in accordance herewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed
to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment,
conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing,
conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if
such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an Affiliate of such Lender) for dollar deposits from other banks in the London interbank market at the commencement of such
period. A certificate of any Lender delivered to the Borrower setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the
amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 SECTION 2.16. Taxes. (a) Any and all
payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Taxes from
such payments, then (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower
shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) In addition, the
Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

  
 62 

 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank,
within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a
Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent
for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the
Borrower to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this paragraph shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating
the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. 

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (f) (i) In addition to the requirements of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, if
applicable, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.16(f)(i), the completion, execution
and submission of such documentation otherwise required by this Section 2.16(f)(i) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment, such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material
unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 
 (ii) Each
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a Lender hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon the

  
 63 

 
reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) an applicable IRS Form W-8 (and, to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, such other certification documents
required by applicable law from each beneficial owner, as applicable). Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of 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, upon request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law (including IRS Forms W-8BEN,
W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, or W-8IMY, as applicable, and if such Foreign Lender is relying on the “portfolio interest exemption” for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, a
written statement certifying that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section
881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (D) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively
connected) as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. 
 (iii) Each Lender that is a
“United States person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a Lender hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon the
reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding. 

(iv) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax imposed by
FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the
time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional
documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under
FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.16(f)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

(g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has
been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to 

  
 64 

 
the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such
indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid to such indemnified party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such
indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to
this paragraph if such payment would place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund
had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

 (h) Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any
assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 

(i) For purposes of paragraphs (d) and (f) of this Section, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank. 

SECTION 2.17. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be
made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, reimbursement of LC Disbursements or of any amounts under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder (or, if no such time is expressly
required, prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time) on the date when due in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to
have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to such account of the Administrative Agent as shall be specified by the Administrative Agent, except that payments
required to be made directly to any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender shall be so made and payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall
distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars. 

  
 65 

 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent
to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in
accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of
principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties. 
 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in unreimbursed LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater
proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans or participations in unreimbursed LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater
proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in unreimbursed LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall
be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in unreimbursed LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that
(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and
(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans to any Eligible Assignee. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under
applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor
of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower
prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such
payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing Bank the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or such
Issuing Bank severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to
but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. 

  
 66 

 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d), 2.05(e), 2.06(b) or 2.17(d), or any other Section hereof requiring any payment for the account of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion
(notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations
are fully paid. 
 (f) In the event that any financial statements delivered under Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b), or any Compliance
Certificate delivered under Section 5.01(c), shall prove to have been materially inaccurate, and such inaccuracy shall have resulted in the payment of any interest or fees at rates lower than those that were in fact applicable for any period
(based on the actual Leverage Ratio), then, if such inaccuracy is discovered prior to the termination of the Commitments and the repayment in full of the principal of all Loans and the reduction of the LC Exposure to zero, the Borrower shall pay to
the Administrative Agent, for distribution to the Lenders (or former Lenders) as their interests may appear, the accrued interest or fees that should have been paid but were not paid as a result of such misstatement, solely to the extent such
payment is requested in writing by the Administrative Agent, including at the request of any Lender, and the Administrative Agent provides to the Borrower a reasonably detailed calculation of such additional accrued interest and fees. 

SECTION 2.18. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or
if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office
for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation
(i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to
such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation. 

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to
any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, (iii) any Lender becomes a Declining Lender or (iv) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense
and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other
than its existing rights to payment pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16) and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment);
provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if its consent would be required under Section 9.04, 

  
 67 

 
each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal
of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and
fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16,
such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, and in the case of any such assignment and delegation in respect of a Declining Lender, the assignee shall have consented (and hereby is deemed to have consented) to the
extension of the Maturity Date specified in the applicable Maturity Extension Request and (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto,
as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment and delegation required pursuant to this paragraph
may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto. 

SECTION 2.19. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a) the Facility Fee
shall cease to accrue pursuant to Section 2.12(a) on the unused amount of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; 

(b) the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the
Required Lenders or any other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that
any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof; 

(c) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 

(i) the Swingline Exposure (other than any portion thereof with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its
participation as contemplated by Section 2.04(c) and, in the case of any Defaulting Lender that is a Swingline Lender, other than the portion of such Swingline Exposure referred to in clause (b) of the definition of such term) and LC
Exposure of such Defaulting Lender (other than any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements with respect to 

  
 68 

 
which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Sections 2.06(d) and 2.06(e)) shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their
respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent that (A) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure (in each case, excluding the portion
thereof referred to above) does not exceed the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (B) such reallocation does not result in the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender exceeding such Non-Defaulting
Lender’s Commitment; 
 (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be
effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (A) first, prepay the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure (other than any portion thereof referred to in the parenthetical
in such clause (i)) that has not been reallocated and (B) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (other than any portion thereof referred to in the parenthetical
in such clause (i)) that has not been reallocated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding; 

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause
(ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay LC Participation Fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure for so long as such Defaulting
Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized; 
 (iv) if any portion of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is
reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the LC Participation Fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11(b) shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; 

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure is neither reallocated nor reduced pursuant to
clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Swingline Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all Facility Fees that otherwise would have been payable pursuant to Section 2.11(a) to such Defaulting
Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment utilized by such Swingline Exposure) shall be payable to the Swingline Lenders (and allocated among them ratably based on the amount of such Defaulting
Lender’s Swingline Exposure attributable to Swingline Loans made by each Swingline Lender) until and to the extent that such Swingline Exposure is reallocated and/or reduced to zero; and 

  
 69 

 (vi) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is
neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all Facility Fees that otherwise would have been payable
pursuant to Section 2.11(a) to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment utilized by such LC Exposure) and LC Participation Fees payable pursuant to Section 2.11(b) to such
Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks (and allocated among them ratably based on the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit
issued by each Issuing Bank) until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and 

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Swingline Lender shall be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no
Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, unless, in each case, the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure, as applicable, will be fully

SECTION 3.02. Power and Authority. The Transactions to be entered into by each Loan Party have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate or other organizational action and are within such Loan Party’s corporate or other organizational power, do not require the approval of such Loan Party’s shareholders or other equity holders except where such approvals have been
obtained, and will not violate any provision of law or of its certificate of incorporation, memorandum and articles of association, limited liability company agreement or other constitutive document or by-laws, or result in the breach of or
constitute a default or require any consent under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any property or assets of such Loan Party pursuant to, any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which such Loan Party a party or by which such
Loan Party or its property may be bound or affected, other than Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this Agreement and each other Loan Document executed by such Loan Party

material respects, the pro forma effect of transactions that are directly attributable to the Midstream MLP IPO Transactions, are factually supportable, and with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the
combined results, had the transactions to be effected at the closing of the Midstream MLP IPO occurred at December 31, 2016 (or, to the extent pro forma financial

 (g) from time to time such further information regarding the business, affairs and financial condition of the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries as the Lenders shall reasonably request. 
 Information required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 5.01(a), 5.01(b)
and 5.01(e) shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Lenders on the date on which such information or one or more annual quarterly reports containing such information have been posted on the Borrower’s website as identified to the
Administrative Agent from time to time or on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov or posted by the Administrative Agent on the Platform. 

SECTION 5.02. Notices of Material Events. The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender prompt written notice
of the following: 
 (a) the occurrence of any Default; 

(b) the filing or commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority against
or affecting the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, or any adverse development therein, that would reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Effect; and 

(c) any other event, development or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Effect.

 Each notice delivered under this Section shall be accompanied by a statement of a Financial Officer or other executive officer of the Borrower setting
forth the details of the event or development requiring such notice and any action taken or proposed to be taken with respect thereto. 

SECTION 5.03. Existence; Conduct of Business. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, do or cause to
be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its legal existence and the 

  
 82 

 
rights, licenses, permits, privileges and franchises necessary to the conduct of its business, except, in the case of the legal existence of any such Restricted Subsidiary or any such right,
license, permit, privilege or franchise, where the failure to so preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any merger
or consolidation, or any liquidation or dissolution (other than of the Borrower), permitted under Section 6.04. 
 SECTION 5.04.
Material Agreements. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, comply with all the Material Agreements, except to the extent that failure to comply therewith, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce its rights and remedies under the Material Agreements, including rights with
respect to indemnities, cost reimbursements and purchase price adjustments, in a manner consistent with, and to the same extent that, it would do so in an arms’ length transaction with an unrelated third party (as reasonably determined by a
Financial Officer of the Borrower). 
 SECTION 5.05. Insurance. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries
to, maintain in full force and effect such policies of insurance in such amounts issued by insurers of recognized responsibility covering the properties and operations of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as is customarily maintained by
corporations engaged in the same or similar business in the localities where the properties and operations are located, including insurance in connection with the disposal, handling, storage, transportation or generation of hazardous materials;
provided that nothing shall prevent the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from effecting workers’ compensation or similar insurance in respect of operations in any state or other jurisdiction through an insurance fund
operated by such state or jurisdiction or from maintaining a system or systems of self-insurance covering its properties or operations as provided above to the extent that such self-insurance is customarily effected by corporations engaged in the
same or similar businesses similarly situated and is otherwise prudent in the circumstances. Prior to the date on which the Collateral and Guarantee Release Condition has been satisfied, each such policy of liability or casualty insurance maintained
by or on behalf of Loan Parties shall (a) in the case of each liability insurance policy (other than workers’ compensation, director and officer liability or other policies in which such endorsements are not customary), name the
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as an additional insured, but only to the extent of the Obligations, thereunder, (b) in the case of each casualty insurance policy, contain a loss payable clause or endorsement that names
the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as a loss payee, but only as its interest may appear, thereunder and (c) to the extent available on commercially reasonable terms, provide for at least 30 days’ (or 10
days’ if such cancellation results from non-payment) (or, in each case, such shorter number of days as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of any cancellation of such policy. 

SECTION 5.06. Maintenance of Properties. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, keep and maintain
all material property used 

  
 83 

 
in the conduct of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, except to the extent that the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 5.07. Compliance with Laws. The Borrower will, and will cause
each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be
expected to constitute a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 5.08. Payment of Obligations. The Borrower will, and will cause each of
its Restricted Subsidiaries to, pay, settle or discharge (a) its Tax liabilities and (b) its other governmental obligations and other lawful claims which, if unpaid, would reasonably be expected to result in a Lien upon any property of the
Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, in each case, before the same shall become delinquent or in default, except, in each case, where (i)(A) the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and
(B) the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP, or (ii) the failure to make such payment, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 5.09. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans will be applied by the
Borrower: 
 (a) to meet part of the working capital and general corporate requirements of the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries, 
 (b) for the payment of dividends and distributions by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries and 

(c) for other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries. 

The Letters of Credit will be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries. No part of the proceeds of
any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose that violates (including on the part of any Lender) any of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulations U and X, as in effect from time to time. 

The Borrower will not request any Borrowing or Letter of Credit, and the Borrower shall not use or permit its Subsidiaries to use, and shall
take reasonable steps to ensure that Hess GP and the Subsidiaries of the Borrower or Hess GP and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (and the directors, officers, employees and agents of Hess and its Subsidiaries that are
engaged in the operations of Hess GP, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) shall not use, the proceeds of any Borrowing or any Letter of Credit (a) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of
money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (b) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any 

  
 84 

 
activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, or (c) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any
party to this Agreement. 
 SECTION 5.10. Books and Records; Inspection Rights. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, keep proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries in accordance with GAAP and applicable law are made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities. The Borrower
will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, permit any representatives designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect its properties, to examine and make extracts from its
books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers and independent accountants, in each case, all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested, but unless an Event of Default exists, no more
frequently than once during each calendar year. 
 SECTION 5.11. Collateral and Guarantee Requirement. On and after the Availability
Date, if (a) any Subsidiary is formed or acquired, (b) any Subsidiary becomes a Material Subsidiary or (c) any Unrestricted Subsidiary is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary, then, in each case, the Borrower will, as promptly as
practicable, and in any event within 30 days (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree to in writing), notify the Administrative Agent thereof and cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be satisfied with respect to such
Subsidiary (solely to the extent that, in each case, any such Subsidiary is a Material Subsidiary that is wholly owned by the Borrower and is not an Unrestricted Subsidiary) and with respect to any Equity Interests in or Debt of such Subsidiary
owned by a Loan Party; provided that, on and after the date on which the Collateral and Guarantee Release Condition has been satisfied, the Loan Parties shall not be required to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.11 and the
Loan Parties shall be released from their obligations under the Guarantee Agreement and the Security Documents in accordance with Section 9.18(c). 

SECTION 5.12. Concerning Unrestricted Subsidiaries. If the consolidated net tangible assets of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries and their
Subsidiaries (determined on a consolidated basis in a manner consistent with the definition of the term “Consolidated Net Tangible Assets”) as of the end of any fiscal quarter represents 10% or more of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets
of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries as of the end of such fiscal quarter, then, the Borrower shall, promptly and in any event within 30 days, cause one or more Unrestricted Subsidiaries to be redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary in
accordance with the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary” to the extent required to eliminate such excess. 
 SECTION 5.13.
Information Regarding Collateral. (a) The Borrower will, prior to the date on which the Collateral and Guarantee Release Condition has been satisfied, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within 30 days (or such longer period as
the Administrative Agent may agree to in writing), notify the Administrative Agent of any change in (i) the legal name of any Loan Party, as set forth in its organizational documents, (ii) the jurisdiction of organization or the form of
organization 

  
 85 

 
of any Loan Party (including as a result of any merger or consolidation), (iii) the location of the chief executive office or the principal place of business of any Loan Party or
(iv) the organizational identification number, if any, or the Federal Taxpayer Identification Number of such Loan Party. 
 (b) The

otherwise required to become, a Mortgaged Property after the Availability Date. 
 SECTION 5.14. Further Assurances. Prior to the
date on which the Collateral and Guarantee Release Condition has been satisfied, the Borrower and each other Loan Party will execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions
(including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds of trust and other documents), that may be required under any applicable law, or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, to cause the
Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be and remain satisfied at all times or otherwise to effectuate the provisions of the Loan Documents, all at the expense of the Loan Parties (it being understood that, with respect to matters set forth in
Section 5.11 or 5.13, the requirements of this Section shall be subject to the grace periods set forth in such Section). The Borrower will provide to the Administrative Agent, from time to time upon reasonable request, evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as to the perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents.

SECTION 6.05. Restrictive Agreements. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Material Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, enter into, incur or permit to exist any agreement or other arrangement with any Person (other than any such agreements or arrangements between or among the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries) that prohibits, restricts or imposes
any condition upon (a) the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to pay dividends or other distributions with respect to its Equity Interests or to make or repay loans or advances to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or (b) the

Subsidiary, and (f) prohibitions, restrictions and conditions imposed by agreements relating to any Debt of the Borrower or a Material Subsidiary permitted hereunder to the extent, in the good faith judgment of the Borrower, such prohibitions,
restrictions and conditions, at the time such Debt is incurred, are on customary market terms for Debt of such type, so long as the Borrower has determined in good faith that such prohibitions, restrictions and conditions would not reasonably be
expected to impair in any material respect the ability of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties to meet their ongoing obligations under the Loan Documents. Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to modify the requirements set forth in the
definition of the term “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement” or the obligations of the Loan Parties under Sections 5.11 or 5.14 or under the Security Documents. 

SECTION 6.06. Transactions with Affiliates. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly

of any rights under, any Material Agreement, or the entry into any new Material Agreement) with any of its Affiliates, except on terms and conditions, taken as a whole, that are substantially as favorable to the Borrower or such Restricted

Subsidiaries and not involving any other Affiliate, (b) transactions involving any employee benefit plans or related trusts of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, (c) the Midstream MLP IPO Transactions and the Midstream MLP Drop-Down

Restricted Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Hess and its Subsidiaries (other than the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries), on the other or (ii) with respect to which the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a favorable

in the applicable Security Document or Section 9.18 hereof or (iii) the Administrative Agent’s failure to maintain possession of any stock certificate, promissory note or other instrument delivered to it under the Collateral Agreement

 then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower
described in clause (g) or (h) of this Article), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, take any or all of the
following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case
any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other
obligations of the Borrower hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately and (iii) require the deposit of cash collateral in respect of LC Exposure as provided in Section 2.05(j), in each case, without presentment, demand, protest
or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; and in case of any event with respect to the Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of this Article, the Commitments

  
 99 

 
shall automatically terminate, the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower hereunder, shall immediately
and automatically become due and payable and the deposit of such cash collateral in respect of LC Exposure shall immediately and automatically become due, in each case, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which
are hereby waived by the Borrower. 
 In addition to any other rights and remedies granted to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the Loan
Documents, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Loan Party or any other Person (all and each of which
demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, or consent to the use by any Loan Party of any cash collateral
arising in respect of the Collateral on such terms as the Administrative Agent deems reasonable, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver, or acquire by credit bid on behalf
of the Lenders, the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or
elsewhere, upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, all without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have the
right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Loan Party, which right
or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Loan Party further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall
reasonably select, whether at such Loan Party’s premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Article VII, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind
incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any other way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by
the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Loan Party. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Party waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any Lender arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or
other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. 

  
 100 

 ARTICLE VIII 

The Administrative Agent 

Each of the Lenders and Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as the Administrative Agent in the heading of this
Agreement and its successors to serve as administrative agent under the Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan
Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 
 The Person serving as the Administrative Agent
hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender, an Issuing Bank or a Swingline Lender as any other Lender, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and
such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates
as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders, Issuing Banks or Swingline Lenders. 

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and its duties
hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is
continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other
implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties),
(b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is
required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as
provided in the Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion, could expose the Administrative Agent to liability or be contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law,
rule or regulation, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the 

  
 101 

 
Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct,
with such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice
thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any
statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of
any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other
agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

 The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request,
certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person.
The Administrative Agent also may rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and may act upon any such statement prior to receipt of
written confirmation thereof. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in
accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
 The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and
exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent; provided that, other than in the case of any such sub-agent that is an Affiliate of the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall provide prompt written notice of such appointment to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through
their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities
in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
 Subject to
the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required
Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint one of the Lenders a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the 

  
 102 

 
Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may,
on behalf of the Lenders and in consultation with the Borrower, appoint one of the Lenders as a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. If the
Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, remove the
Administrative Agent in its capacity as such and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with
all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the
Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this
Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any other Lender
and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent, any Issuing Bank or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not
taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Acceptance or any other
Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or
satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Closing Date. 
 Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any
Lender in accordance with Section 9.09 or with respect to a Lender’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any
Guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof.

  
 103 

 In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no Secured Swap Agreement or
Secured Cash Management Agreement the obligations under which constitute Obligations will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral
or of the obligations of any Loan Party under any Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such Secured Swap Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement shall be deemed to have
appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.

 The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty
regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the
Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Secured Parties for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. 

In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any Federal, State or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any LC Disbursement shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC
Exposure and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under
Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and receive any
monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative
Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan
Documents (including under Section 9.03). 
 None of the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents or the Documentation Agents shall have any
duties or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender or an Issuing Bank), but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder. 

  
 104 

 The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrower’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall have any rights as a
third party beneficiary of any such provisions. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to
have agreed to the provisions of this Article. 
 The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the
direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise)
and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or
1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Credit Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the
direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and
shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis
that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or
debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign
any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned
to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the
Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by
the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and
without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 9.02 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each
of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of 

  
 105 

 
the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt
instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to
acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such
Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for
any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause
(ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition
vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

recipient); and notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below shall be effective as provided in such paragraph. 

(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders and Issuing Banks hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications
(including email and Internet and intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices under Article II to any Lender or Issuing Bank if such Lender or Issuing
Bank, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. Any notices or other communications to the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may be delivered or

(c) Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties

 (d) The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communication by posting such
Communication on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available”. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties warrants, or shall be deemed to warrant, the adequacy of the Platform and the Administrative Agent expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any
kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made, or shall be deemed to be made, by the
Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or
any other Person for damages of any 

  
 107 

 
kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the
Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through the Platform, except to the extent of direct or actual damages (and not any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages) that are determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or its employees in performing the services hereunder. 

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in
exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or
power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and
are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be permitted by this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making
of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant
to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into, in the case of this Agreement, by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, by the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto and the
Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan
or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than (x) a waiver of additional interest as specified in Section 2.12(d) or (y) as a result of any change in the definition, or in any components thereof, of the term
“Leverage Ratio”), or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender and Issuing Bank affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC
Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees or any other amount payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each
Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.17(b) or 2.17(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this
Section or the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or 

  
 108 

 
percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder without the written consent of each Lender,
(vi) release, or limit in a manner that in effect releases, all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees under the Guarantee Agreement, except as expressly permitted by Section 9.18, (vii) release, or limit in a manner that
in effect releases, all or substantially all of the value of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents without the written consent of each Lender, except as expressly permitted by Section 9.18 or the applicable Security Document
(including any such release by the Administrative Agent in connection with any sale or other disposition of the Collateral upon the exercise of remedies under the Security Documents), it being understood that an amendment or other modification of
the type of obligations secured by the Security Documents shall not be deemed to be a release of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents, or (viii) waive, amend or modify Section 4.02(g) without the written consent of each
Lender; provided further that (A) no amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any provision hereof that would alter the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender hereunder shall
be effective without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and, without limiting the foregoing, any amendment or other modification of Section 2.19 shall require
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender, (B) notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to first proviso of this paragraph, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable
Issuing Banks may enter into agreements referred to in Sections 2.05(i) and 2.05(k), and the term “LC Commitment”, as such term is used in reference to any Issuing Bank, may be modified as contemplated by the definition of such term,
in each case without consent of the Required Lenders, and (C) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any Secured Party, consent to a departure by any Loan Party from any covenant of
such Loan Party set forth in this Agreement, the Collateral Agreement or in any other Security Document to the extent such departure is consistent with the authority of the Administrative Agent set forth in the definition of the term
“Collateral and Guarantee Requirement”. 
 SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower agrees
to pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and each of their respective Affiliates (including the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one firm of counsel
for the foregoing, taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, of one firm of local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, any Issuing Bank or any Lender (including the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one firm of counsel for the foregoing, taken as a
whole, and, if reasonably necessary, of one firm of local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the relevant Person affected by such conflict informs the

  
 109 

 
Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel (including, if reasonably necessary, its own local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction), of such conflict counsel for such
affected Person and all similarly situated Persons, taken as a whole)), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans
made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including in connection with any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof. 

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Arranger, each Syndication Agent, each Documentation Agent, each Issuing
Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”), against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
related expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one firm of counsel for any Indemnitee, and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction (and, in the case of an actual
or perceived conflict of interest where the relevant Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel (including, if reasonably necessary, its own local counsel in any relevant
jurisdiction), of such conflict counsel for such affected Indemnitee and all similarly situated Indemnitees, taken as a whole)) incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the
execution or delivery of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents of their respective obligations
hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an Issuing Bank to honor
a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on
or from any Mortgaged Property or any other property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective
claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and whether initiated against or by any party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Affiliate of any of
the foregoing or any third party (and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto); provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted (A) from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, its Affiliates or their officers, directors or
employees or (B) from a material breach of this Agreement by such Indemnitee. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. 

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof),
any Issuing Bank or 

  
 110 

 
any Swingline Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or such
sub-agent), such Issuing Bank, such Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such
unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing
Bank or such Swingline Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender in connection with such capacity. 

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) the Borrower shall not assert, and the Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any
Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), except to
the extent that such damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or from a material breach of this Agreement
by such Indemnitee, and (ii) no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any claim against any other party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or
actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds
thereof; provided that nothing in this sentence shall relieve the Borrower or any other Loan Party of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such
Indemnitee by a third party. 
 (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor. 

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to
confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit),
Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (e) of this Section), the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents and the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the
Documentation Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

  
 111 

 (b) Any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements at the time owing to it); provided, that (i) each of the Borrower (provided that (A) in the
case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or to an Approved Fund or (B) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default arising under clause (a), (b), (g) or (h) of Article VII, the consent of
the Borrower shall not be required; and provided further that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after
having received a written request for its consent to such assignment), the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any assignment of a Commitment or any LC Exposure or any Swingline Exposure, as applicable, each Issuing Bank and each Swingline
Lender must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being agreed that none of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender will be
deemed to have acted unreasonably if it refuses to consent to an assignment to an institution whose unsecured long-term deposit obligations or senior, unsecured, non-credit-enhanced long-term indebtedness for borrowed money shall not have ratings of
at least BBB from S&P and Baa2 from Moody’s, in each case with at least stable outlook), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount
of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment
is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent, (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part
of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, except that this clause (iii) shall not apply to rights in respect of outstanding Swingline Loans, (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Assumption posted on the Platform), together (except in the case of an assignment by a Lender to one of its
Affiliates or an assignment as a result of any of the events contemplated by Section 2.18) with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Related Parties or their respective
securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to
paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have
the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning 

  
 112 

 
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance 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 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03). Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 (e) of this Section. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the
Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and records of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and
LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
and the Issuing Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrower, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and
Assumption posted on the Platform) 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 Acceptance 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. 

(e) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks, sell participations to one or more
Eligible Assignees (each a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that
(i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to
which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
provided that such agreement 

  
 113 

 
or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b)
that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. Each Lender selling participations shall keep a register (the “Participant Register”) in which it shall record the name and address of each
Participant to which such Lender sells participations and the amount and terms of such participations, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any
portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person
except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the
Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any
notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have
been entitled to receive with respect to the participations sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participations to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if
it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the participations sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with
Section 2.16(f) as though it were a Lender. 
 (g) 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 such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank with jurisdiction over such Lender, 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 pledge or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents
and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery
of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or
any Affiliate of any of the foregoing may have had 

  
 114 

 
notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any Loan Document is executed and delivered or any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full
force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any LC Exposure is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired
or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans,
the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

SECTION 9.06. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it
is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with
its requirements. 
 SECTION 9.07. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. (a) This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, including the commitments of the Lenders
and, if applicable, their Affiliates under any commitment letter entered into in connection with the credit facilities established hereunder and any commitment advices submitted in connection therewith (but do not supersede any other provisions of
any such commitment letter or any fee letter entered into in connection with the credit facilities established hereunder) that do not by the terms of such documents terminate upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, all of which provisions shall
remain in full force and effect). Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which,
when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a
signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

(b) The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, “delivery” and words of like import in or relating
to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of
which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable
law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National 

  
 115 

 
Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall
require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent. 
 SECTION 9.08.
Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

SECTION 9.09. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and Issuing Bank and each of
its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other
indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower, now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender
or Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender and Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates
under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate may have. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly
after any such set off and application; provided that the failure to give notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application. 

SECTION 9.10. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; Process Agent; Waiver of Immunity. (a) This Agreement
shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. 
 (b) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York and of the United States District Court of the
Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding against the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be brought, and shall be heard and
determined exclusively, in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuing Bank may otherwise have to bring any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

  
 116 

 (c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may
legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in
paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices to it in Section 9.01.
Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 

SECTION 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT
MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
(B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 

SECTION 9.12. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are
not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

SECTION 9.13. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, members, partners, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other
advisers (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory
authority (including (i) any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and (ii) in connection with a pledge or assignment permitted under Section 9.04(g)), (c) to the extent required
by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in 

  
 117 

 
connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement
of rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions at least as restrictive as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or
Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective direct or indirect counterparty (or its advisors) to any securitization, swap or derivatives transaction, or any credit insurance provider,
relating to the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries and the obligations hereunder, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this
Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. In addition, each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the
existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Commitments. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information
that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such
information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such
Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

SECTION 9.14. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Borrower agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated by
the Loan Documents and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a
business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty or advisory or agency relationship on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their Affiliates, and no such
duty or relationship will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. The Administrative Agent, each Arranger, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates may have economic interests that
conflict with those of the Borrower, its equityholders and/or its Affiliates. 
 SECTION 9.15. Conversion of Currencies. (a) If,
for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder or under any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do
so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on
which final judgment is given. 

  
 118 

 (b) The obligations of each party to any Loan Document in respect of any sum due to any other
party thereto or any holder of the obligations owing thereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is
stated to be due thereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the
Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to
the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of each party to the Loan Documents
contained in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder and thereunder. 

SECTION 9.16. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to
any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that
may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof,
shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest
and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of
repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. 
 SECTION 9.17. No Liability of General Partner. It is understood and agreed
that Hess GP shall have no liability, as general partner or otherwise, for the payment of any amount owing or to be owing hereunder or under any other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agree for themselves
and their respective successors and assigns that no claim arising against the Borrower or any Guarantor under any Loan Document with respect to any obligation under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be asserted against Hess GP or its
assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9.17 shall be construed to prevent the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender from commencing any action, suit or proceeding with respect to or causing legal papers to
be served upon Hess GP for the purpose of obtaining jurisdiction over the Borrower or any Guarantor. 

  
 119 

 SECTION 9.18. Release of Subsidiary Guarantees and Collateral. (a) A Guarantor shall
automatically be released from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement (i) as set forth in clause (d) below, (ii) upon such Guarantor having been designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms hereof,
(iii) upon all the Equity Interests in such Guarantor held by the Borrower and the Subsidiaries having been sold or otherwise disposed of (other than to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) (including by merger or consolidation) in any
transaction not prohibited hereunder, (iv) upon such Guarantor having ceased to be a wholly owned Subsidiary as a result of the consummation of any sale or disposition of all or any part of the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary not prohibited
hereunder and entered into for a valid business purpose or (v) if the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement is approved or authorized in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the
Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with Section 9.02). 
 (b) The Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the
Loan Parties on any Collateral shall be released by the Administrative Agent (i) in full, as set forth in clause (d) below, (ii) upon the sale or disposition of such Collateral to any Person other than another Loan Party in a
transaction not prohibited under this Agreement, (iii) if the release of such Lien is approved or authorized in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with
Section 9.02), (iv) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement in accordance with Section 9.18(a),
(v) as required by the Administrative Agent to effect any sale or disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Security Documents and (vi) upon such property no longer
constituting Collateral pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon all interests retained by the Loan
Parties, including the proceeds of any sale or disposition, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to the extent otherwise released or constituting Excluded Collateral in accordance with the provisions of the Loan
Documents. 
 (c) Each of the Guarantors shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement, each of the
Loan Parties shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Security Documents to which it is a party and all Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall automatically be released in the
event that: 
 (i) the Collateral and Guarantee Release Condition shall have been satisfied; 

(ii) at the time of and immediately after giving effect to any such release, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing or would result therefrom, provided that such release shall constitute the incurrence by such Restricted Subsidiary, at the time of the release of such Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, of all Debt of such Restricted
Subsidiary existing at such time; and 
 (iii) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate,
executed on behalf of the Borrower by a Financial Officer, confirming the satisfaction of the condition set forth in clause (ii) above. 

  
 120 

 (d) Upon payment in full in cash of all the Loan Document Obligations (other than contingent
obligations for indemnification, expense reimbursement, tax gross-up or yield protection as to which no claim has been made), the expiration or termination of the Commitments, the reduction of the LC Exposure to zero and the expiration or
termination of the Issuing Banks’ obligations to issue, amend or extend Letters of Credit, the Guarantee Agreement and the Guarantees made therein and each Security Document and all obligations of each Loan Party thereunder (in each case, other
than those obligations expressly stated to survive such termination) and all Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall automatically terminate and be released, all without delivery of any instrument or
performance of any act by any Person. 
 (e) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section, the Administrative
Agent is hereby authorized to execute and deliver, and agrees promptly upon request to execute and deliver, such documents as the Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents
pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 9.19. Excluded Swap
Obligations. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Guarantee by any Guarantor under any Loan Document shall include a Guarantee of any Obligation that, as to such Guarantor, is an Excluded Swap
Obligation, and no Collateral provided by any Guarantor shall secure any Obligation that, as to such Guarantor, is an Excluded Swap Obligation. In the event that any payment is made pursuant to any Guarantee by, or any amount is realized from
Collateral of, any Guarantor as to which any Obligations are Excluded Swap Obligations, such payment or amount shall be applied to pay the Obligations of such Guarantor as otherwise provided herein and in the other Loan Documents without giving
effect to such Excluded Swap Obligations, and each reference in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the ratable application of such amounts as among the Obligations or any specified portion of the Obligations that would otherwise include
such Excluded Swap Obligations shall be deemed so to provide. 
 (b) The Borrower and each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and
severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party that would not otherwise be a Qualified ECP Guarantor but for the effectiveness of
this Section, to enable each such other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of Swap Obligations (subject to the limitations on its Guarantee under the Guarantee Agreement). The obligations of each Qualified
ECP Guarantor under 

  
 121 

 
this Section shall remain in full force and effect until its Guarantee under the Guarantee Agreement is released. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section shall constitute a
“keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 

SECTION 9.20. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any
Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is
unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may
be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 
 (b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such
liability, including, if applicable: 
 (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial
Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such
liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 
 (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in
connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

to Credit Agreement 
 FORM
OF 
 ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE 

This Assignment and Acceptance (the “Assignment and Acceptance”) is dated as of the Effective Date set forth below and is
entered into by and between the Assignor (as defined below) and the Assignee (as defined below). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement identified below (the “Credit
Agreement”), receipt of a copy of which is hereby acknowledged by the Assignee. The Standard Terms and Conditions set forth in Annex I attached hereto are hereby agreed to and incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this
Assignment and Acceptance as if set forth herein in full. 
 For an agreed consideration, the Assignor hereby irrevocably sells and assigns
to the Assignee, and the Assignee hereby irrevocably purchases and assumes from the Assignor, subject to and in accordance with the Standard Terms and Conditions and the Credit Agreement, as of the Effective Date inserted by the Administrative Agent
as contemplated below (i) all of the Assignor’s rights and obligations in its capacity as a Lender under the Credit Agreement and any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant thereto to the extent related to the amount and
percentage interest identified below of all of such outstanding rights and obligations of the Assignor under the facility set forth below (including any letters of credit, guarantees and swingline loans included in such facility) and (ii) to
the extent permitted to be assigned under applicable law, all claims, suits, causes of action and any other right of the Assignor (in its capacity as a Lender) against any Person, whether known or unknown, arising under or in connection with the
Credit Agreement, any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant thereto or the loan transactions governed thereby or in any way based on or related to any of the foregoing, including contract claims, tort claims, malpractice claims,

 The
Guarantees 
 SECTION 2.01. Guarantee. Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other
Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to the Secured Parties the due and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in
whole or in part, or amended or modified, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any extension, renewal, amendment or modification of any of the Obligations. Each
Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrower or any other Loan Party of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its Guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. 

SECTION 2.02. Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee. Each Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a
guarantee of payment when due (whether or not any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding 

  
 2 

 
shall have stayed the accrual or collection of any of the Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) and not merely of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by
the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to any security held for the payment of any of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person. Each Guarantor agrees that its guarantee hereunder is continuing in nature and applies to all of the Obligations, whether currently existing or hereafter incurred. 

SECTION 2.03. No Limitations. (a) Except for the termination or release of a Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as
expressly provided in Section 5.11, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations or any impossibility in the performance of any of the
Obligations, or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except for termination or release of its obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 5.11, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be
discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise,
(ii) any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations, (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment, or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document or any other agreement, including with respect
to any other Guarantor under this Agreement, (iv) the release of, or any impairment of or failure to perfect any Lien on any security held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for any of the Obligations, (v) the failure
or delay of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Obligations, (vi) any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the
Obligations, (vii) any lack of validity or unenforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (viii) any change in ownership of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any merger or consolidation of the Borrower or any Guarantor with
any other Person or (ix) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 

(b) Each Guarantor expressly authorizes the Secured Parties to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, to
exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security in accordance with its terms and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in their sole discretion or to release or
substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder. 

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the
Borrower or any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, 

  
 3 

 
or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party (other than the payment in full in cash of all the Obligations). The Administrative Agent and the other
Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the
Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or any other Loan Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any
Guarantor hereunder (except to the extent the Obligations have been paid in full in cash). To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates,
pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security. Any term or provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount (after giving effect to Sections 3.01 and 3.02 hereof) of the Obligations for which any Guarantor shall be liable shall be limited to an
aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations under this Agreement subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any applicable provisions of comparable state law.

 SECTION 2.04. Reinstatement. Each Guarantor agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated,
as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization (or any analogous proceeding
in any jurisdiction) of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or otherwise. 
 SECTION 2.05. Agreement to Pay; Subrogation. In
furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower or any other Loan
Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative
Agent for distribution to the applicable Secured Parties in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligation. Each Guarantor agrees that if payment in respect of any Obligation shall be due in a currency other than dollars and/or at a place of payment
other than New York and if, by reason of any change in law, disruption of currency or foreign exchange markets, war or civil disturbance or other event, circumstance or condition, payment of such Obligation in such currency or at such place of
payment shall be impossible or, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, not consistent with the protection of its rights or interests, then, at the election of the Administrative Agent, such Guarantor shall make payment
of such Obligation in dollars (based upon the applicable exchange rate in effect on the date of payment) and/or in New York, and shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party against any losses or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including losses or expenses resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates) that it shall sustain as a

  
 4 

 
result of such alternative payment. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Loan
Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subject to Article III. 

SECTION 2.06. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s and
each other Loan Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, in
each case as diligent inquiry would reveal, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party will have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

 SECTION 2.07. Payments Free of Taxes. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges the provisions of Section 2.16 of the Credit
Agreement and agrees to be bound by such provisions with the same force and effect, and to the same extent, as if such Guarantor were a party to the Credit Agreement. 

ARTICLE III 
 Indemnity,
Subrogation and Subordination 
 SECTION 3.01. Indemnity and Subrogation. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and
subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 3.03), the Borrower agrees that (a) in the event a payment in respect of any Obligation of the Borrower shall be made by any Guarantor under this
Agreement, the Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (b) in the
event any assets of any Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document to satisfy in whole or in part any Obligation of the Borrower, the Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of the
book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold. 
 SECTION 3.02. Contribution and Subrogation. Each Guarantor (a
“Contributing Party”) agrees (subject to Section 3.03) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Guarantor hereunder in respect of any Obligations or assets of any other Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to any
Loan Document to satisfy any Obligation and such other Guarantor (the “Claiming Party”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the Borrower as provided in Section 3.01, the Contributing Party shall indemnify the Claiming
Party in an amount equal to the amount of such payment or the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets (the “Indemnified Amount”), as the case may be, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Party on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors on the date hereof (or, in the case of any 

  
 5 

 
Guarantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 5.12, the date of the Supplement hereto executed and delivered by such Guarantor). Any Contributing Party making any payment to a
Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall (subject to Section 3.03) be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party under Section 3.01 to the extent of such payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any
Claiming Party’s right to indemnification hereunder arises from a payment or sale of Collateral made to satisfy Obligations constituting Swap Obligations, only those Contributing Parties for whom such Swap Obligations do not constitute Excluded
Swap Obligations shall indemnify such Claiming Party, with the fraction set forth in the second preceding sentence being modified as appropriate to provide for indemnification of the entire Indemnified Amount. 

SECTION 3.03. Subordination. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors under
Sections 3.01 and 3.02 and all other rights of the Guarantors of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated in right of payment to the payment in full of all the Obligations. No failure
on the part of the Borrower or any Guarantor to make the payments required by Sections 3.01 and 3.02 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor
with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the Obligations. 
 ARTICLE IV 

Representations and Warranties 

Each Loan Party represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance by such Loan Party of this Agreement have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, and do not require the approval of such Loan Party’s shareholders or other equity holders except where such approvals have been obtained, and this Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by such Loan Party and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by general principles of
equity and bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by moratorium laws from time to time in effect. 

ARTICLE V 
 Miscellaneous

 SECTION 5.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in
writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Guarantor shall be given to it in care of the Borrower as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. 

  
 6 

 SECTION 5.02. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative
Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have
had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in
writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit
Agreement. 
 SECTION 5.03. Administrative Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Guarantor,
jointly with each other Guarantor and severally, agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred hereunder as
provided in Section 9.03(a) of the Credit Agreement as if each reference in such Section to “the Borrower” were a reference to “the Guarantors”, mutatis mutandis, and with the same force and effect as if such
Guarantor were a party to the Credit Agreement. 
 (b) Each Guarantor, jointly with each other Guarantor and severally, agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless each Indemnitee as provided in Section 9.03(b) of the Credit Agreement as if each reference in such Section to “the Borrower” were a reference to “the Guarantors”, mutatis mutandis, and with
the same force and effect as if such Guarantor were a party to the Credit Agreement. 
 (c) To the extent permitted by applicable law,
(i) no Guarantor shall assert, and each Guarantor hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through
telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), except to the extent that such damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and
non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or from a material breach of the Credit Agreement by such Indemnitee, and (ii) no party

  
 7 

 
hereto shall assert, and each party hereby waives, any claim against any other party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or
actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds
thereof; provided that nothing in this sentence shall relieve the Guarantors of any obligation they may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third
party. 
 (d) Any amounts payable as provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be additional Obligations guaranteed hereby
and secured by the Security Documents. All amounts due under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor. 

(e) BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE GUARANTEES CREATED HEREBY, EACH SECURED PARTY SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE
PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE VIII OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND AGREED TO BE BOUND BY SUCH PROVISIONS AS FULLY AS IF THEY WERE SET FORTH HEREIN. 

SECTION 5.04. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in
the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders
and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such Person or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the
Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any Loan Document is executed and delivered
or any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under the Credit Agreement is outstanding and
unpaid or any LC Exposure is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.04, 2.07 and 5.03 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

SECTION 5.05. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement; Electronic Execution. (a) This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of
this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Loan Party when a

  
 8 

 
counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Loan Party shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative
Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties
and their respective permitted successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party may 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 such Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void), except as expressly provided in the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Loan Party and may be amended, modified,
supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Loan Party without the approval of any other Loan Party and without affecting the obligations of any other Loan Party hereunder. 

(b) The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, “delivery” and words of like import in or relating
to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of
which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable
law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that
nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent. 

SECTION 5.06. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as
to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 5.07. Right of Setoff. If an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and Issuing Bank and each of their Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any of and all the
obligations of such Guarantor, now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such
obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender and Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, Issuing Bank or
Affiliate may have. Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such set off and application; provided that the failure to give notice shall not affect the validity of such set off
and application. 

  
 9 

 SECTION 5.08. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. 
 (b) Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York and of the United States District Court of
the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding against the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be brought, and shall be heard and
determined exclusively, in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuing Bank may otherwise have to bring any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

(c) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection
which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

(d) Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices to it in
Section 5.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 

SECTION 5.09. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT
MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT 

  
 10 

 
SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS
AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 
 SECTION 5.10. Headings. Article and
Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

SECTION 5.11. Termination or Release. (a) Subject to Section 2.04, this Agreement and the Guarantees made herein shall
automatically terminate and be released on the earlier to occur of (i) the satisfaction of the provisions of Section 9.18(c) of the Credit Agreement and (ii) payment in full in cash of all the Loan Document Obligations (other than
contingent obligations for indemnification, expense reimbursement, tax gross-up or yield protection as to which no claim has been made), the expiration or termination of the Lenders’ commitments to lend
under the Credit Agreement, the reduction of the LC Exposure to zero and the expiration or termination of the Issuing Banks’ obligations to issue, amend or extend Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement. 

(b) A Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations under this Agreement upon: (i) such Guarantor having been designated
as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, (ii) all the Equity Interests in such Guarantor held by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries having been sold or otherwise disposed of (other than to the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries) (including by merger or consolidation) in any transaction not prohibited by the Credit Agreement, (iii) such Guarantor having ceased to be a wholly owned Subsidiary as a result of the consummation of any sale or
disposition of all or any part of the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary not prohibited under the Credit Agreement and entered into for a valid business purpose, (iv) the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement
having been approved or authorized in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement) or (v) in accordance with
Section 9.18 of the Credit Agreement. 
 (c) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a) or
(b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall execute and/or deliver to any Guarantor, at such Guarantor’s expense, all releases and other documents that such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or
release. Any execution and delivery of documents by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 5.12. Additional Guarantors. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, certain Subsidiaries of the Borrower not a party hereto on the
Availability Date are required to enter into this Agreement. Upon the execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent and any such Subsidiary of the Borrower of a Supplement, such 

  
 11 

 
Subsidiary of the Borrower shall become a Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as such herein. The execution and delivery of any Supplement shall not require
the consent of any other Guarantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Subsidiary of the Borrower as a party to this Agreement. 

  
 12 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the day and year
first above written.

[            ], 2017, among HESS MIDSTREAM PARTNERS LP, the GUARANTORS party thereto and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Administrative Agent. 

Reference is made to (a) the Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of March 15, 2017 (as amended, restated, amended and restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Hess Midstream Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”), the Lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A., as Administrative Agent, and (b) the Guarantee Agreement dated as of [    ], 2017 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Guarantee
Agreement”), among the Borrower, the Guarantors party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the
Credit Agreement or the Guarantee Agreement, as applicable. 
 The Guarantors have entered into the Guarantee Agreement in order to induce
the Lenders and the Issuing Banks to extend credit to the Borrower. Section 5.12 of the Guarantee Agreement provides that additional Subsidiaries of the Borrower may become Guarantors under the Guarantee Agreement by execution and delivery of
an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Subsidiary of the Borrower (the “New Subsidiary”) is executing this Supplement to become a Guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement in order to induce the Lenders and the
Issuing Banks to make additional extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement and as consideration for such extensions of credit previously issued. 

Accordingly, the Administrative Agent and the New Subsidiary agree as follows: 

SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 5.12 of the Guarantee Agreement, the New Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a Guarantor
under the Guarantee Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Guarantor, and the New Subsidiary hereby agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Guarantee Agreement applicable to it as a Guarantor thereunder.
Each reference to a “Guarantor” in the Guarantee Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary. The Guarantee Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference. 

SECTION 2. The New Subsidiary represents and warrants that (a) the execution, delivery and performance by the New Subsidiary of this
Supplement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, and do not require the approval of the New Subsidiary’s shareholders or other equity holders except where such approvals have been obtained, and
this Supplement has been duly executed and delivered by the New Subsidiary and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the New Subsidiary enforceable against such New Subsidiary in accordance

 
with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and
by moratorium laws from time to time in effect, and (b) all representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.10, 3.16, 3.19 and 3.20 of the Credit Agreement as to the New Subsidiary are true and correct. 

SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile or other electronic imaging shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed
counterpart of this Supplement. This Supplement shall become effective as to the New Subsidiary when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of the New Subsidiary shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall
have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon the New Subsidiary and the Administrative Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the New
Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent, the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that the New Subsidiary shall not have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein
(and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly provided in this Supplement, the Guarantee Agreement and the Credit Agreement. 

SECTION 4. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Guarantee Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 

SECTION 5. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

SECTION 6. Any provision of this Supplement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction
shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 7. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing
and given as provided in Section 5.01 of the Guarantee Agreement.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Subsidiary and the Administrative Agent have duly executed this
Supplement to the Guarantee Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
