“Administrative Questionnaire” means an Administrative Questionnaire in a form supplied by the Administrative

Commitments of all Lenders. 
 “Aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure” means, at any time, the sum at
such time of the Letter of Credit Exposure of all of the Lenders.

 “Applicable Margin” means with respect to: (a) any Eurodollar Borrowings and any Letters of Credit, at all times during which the applicable Pricing Level set forth below is in effect, the percentage set forth
below under the heading “Eurodollar Margin” and adjacent to such Pricing Level, and (b) with respect to the commitment fee payable under Section 3.03(a), at all times during which the applicable Pricing Level set forth below is
in effect, the percentage set forth below under the heading “Commitment Fee Rate” and adjacent to such Pricing Level, in each case, subject to the provisos set forth below: 
  

									
	 Pricing Levels
	  	Commitment
Fee Rate	 	 	Eurodollar
Margin	 
	 I
	  	(A-/A3)	  	0.070	%	 	0.300	%
	 II
	  	(BBB+/Baa1)	  	0.080	%	 	0.400	%

the Borrower’s commercial paper shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of S&P or Moody’s), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency.
If the applicable Senior Debt Ratings by S&P and Moody’s are split-rated (i) by one rating category, the Pricing Level shall be determined by the higher of the two (e.g., a Senior Debt Rating of BBB-/Baa2 results in Pricing
Level III) and (ii) by more than one rating category, the Pricing Level shall be determined by the level one below the higher rating by either S&P or Moody’s (e.g., a Senior Debt Rating of BBB-/Baa1 results in Pricing Level III

effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of S&P or Moody’s shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Lenders shall
negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Margin shall be determined by
reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation. 
 “Applicable
Percentage” means, with respect to any Lender, the percentage of the total Commitments represented by such Lender’s Commitment. If the Commitments have terminated or expired, the Applicable Percentages shall be determined based

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 Revolving Loan to be made as part of the requested
Borrowing. 
 Section 2.04 Funding of Borrowings 
 (a) Each Lender shall make each Revolving Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately
available funds by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. Subject to Section 5.02, the Administrative Agent will make such Revolving
Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting or otherwise transferring the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request. 
 (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

Table of Contents

 
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 by 3:00 p.m. New York City time for a Eurodollar Borrowing or by 6:00 p.m. New York time for an ABR Borrowing on the applicable day, then the
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 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 that would be otherwise applicable to such Borrowing. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included
in such Borrowing. 
 Section 2.05 Termination, Reduction and Increase of Commitments 
 (a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments and the Letter of Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Commitment
Termination Date. 
 (b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments, provided
that (i) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.07, the Aggregate Credit Exposure would exceed the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments, and (ii) each such reduction shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000. 
 (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. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments hereunder shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

 (d) Provided that immediately before and after giving effect thereto, no Default shall or would exist, the Borrower may at
any time and from time to time, on or before the forty eighth (48th) month anniversary of the Effective Date, at its sole cost and expense, request any one or more of the Lenders to increase (such decision to be within the sole and absolute
discretion of such Lender) its Revolving Commitment, or any other Eligible Assignee reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to provide a new Revolving Commitment, by submitting an Increase Request in the form of Exhibit
F (an “Increase Request”), duly executed by the Borrower and each such Lender or Eligible Assignee, as the case may be. If such Increase Request is in all respects reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative
Agent shall execute such Increase Request and deliver a copy thereof to the Borrower and each such Lender or Eligible Assignee, as the case may be.

Upon execution and delivery of such Increase Request, (i) in the case of each such Lender, such Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall be increased to
the amount set forth in such Increase Request, (ii) in the case of each such Eligible Assignee, such Eligible Assignee shall become a party hereto and shall for all purposes of the Loan Documents be deemed a “Lender” with a Revolving
Commitment in the amount set forth in such Increase Request, and (iii) the Borrower shall contemporaneously therewith execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Note or Notes for each such Eligible Assignee providing a new Revolving
Commitment and for such existing Lender increasing its Revolving Commitment provided, however, that: 
 (i) immediately after
giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall not have been increased pursuant to this subsection (d) to an amount greater than $150,000,000; 
 (ii) each such increase shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 or such amount plus an integral multiple of $1,000,000; 

(iii) the Revolving Commitments shall not be increased on more than two occasions; 
 (iv) if Loans shall be outstanding immediately after giving effect to such increase, the Lenders shall, upon the acceptance of the
Increase Request by, and at the direction of, the Administrative Agent, make appropriate adjustments among themselves so that the amount of the Loans outstanding to the Borrower from any of the Lenders under this Agreement are allocated among the
Lenders according to their Commitment Percentages after giving effect to the increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments; and 
 (v) each such Eligible Assignee shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower an Administrative Questionnaire and all forms, if any, that are required to be delivered by such Eligible Assignee pursuant to
Section 3.07(e). 
 Section 2.06 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt 
 (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid
principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Commitment Termination Date. 
 (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance
with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the debt of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Revolving Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to
time hereunder. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each
Revolving Loan made hereunder, the 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.

Table of Contents

 (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or
(c) of this Section shall, to the extent not inconsistent with any entries made in any Note, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein, provided, however, 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 Revolving Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (e) The Revolving Loans of each Lender and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04)
be evidenced by one or more Notes payable to the order of such Lender (or, if such Note is a registered note, to such Lender and its registered assigns). 
 Section 2.07 Prepayment of Revolving Loans 
 (a) The Borrower shall have the right at
any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section. 
 (b) In the event of any partial reduction or termination of the Commitments, then (i) at or prior to the date of such reduction or termination, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the sum of the
Revolving Credit Exposures after giving effect thereto, and (ii) if such sum would exceed the total Commitments after giving effect to such reduction or termination, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction or termination, prepay
Revolving Borrowings in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. 
 (c) Mandatory Prepayments. 
 (i) Simultaneously with each reduction or termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, the Borrower shall prepay the Revolving
Loans, by an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Aggregate Credit Exposure minus the Aggregate Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such reduction or termination. 
 (ii) Simultaneously with each reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, (1) in the event that the Aggregate Letter of
Credit Commitments shall exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments as so reduced or terminated, the Aggregate Letter of Credit Commitments shall be automatically reduced by an amount equal to such excess, and (2) the Borrower shall prepay the
Revolving Loans by an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans, or (B) the excess of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans over the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments as so reduced or terminated. 
 (d) Simultaneously with each prepayment of a Revolving Loan, the
Borrower shall prepay all accrued interest on the amount prepaid through the date of prepayment. 
 (e) The Borrower shall
notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by facsimile transmission) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the

 - 22 - 

Table of Contents

 
than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day of the 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. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a prepayment of a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial
prepayment of any Borrowing under Sections 2.05(b) and 2.07(a) shall, when added to the amount of each concurrent reduction of the Commitments and prepayment of Borrowings under such Sections, be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less
than $1,000,000. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 3.01. 
 Section 2.08 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs 
 (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal,
interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 or 10.03, or otherwise) prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received
after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative
Agent at its office at One Wall Street, New York, New York, or such other office as to which the Administrative Agent may notify the other parties hereto, except that payments pursuant to Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 and 10.03 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. In the event the Administrative Agent has
not in fact made available to each Lender its share of the applicable payment within one Business Day of the receipt thereof, then the Administrative Agent agrees to pay to the applicable Lender forthwith on demand its share of such payment with
interest thereon for each day, from and including the second Business Day after such payment was received by the Administrative Agent but excluding the date of payment by the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 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. 
 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal of
Revolving Loans, interest, fees and commissions then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest, fees and commissions then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the
amounts of interest, fees and commissions then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal of Revolving Loans then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal of
Revolving Loans then due to such parties.

Table of Contents

 (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 resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving 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 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, 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 Revolving Loans
to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so
under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct
creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Credit Parties 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 such Credit Parties the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each such Credit
Party severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Credit Party 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 greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 (e) If any Credit Party shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b), then the Administrative
Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Credit Party to satisfy such Credit Party’s obligations under such Section
until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 Section 2.09 Letter of Credit Sub-Facility 
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing Bank agrees, in reliance on the agreement of the other Lenders set
forth in Section 2.10, to issue standby letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”; each, individually, a “Letter of Credit”) during the Availability Period for the account of the Borrower,
provided that immediately after the issuance of each Letter of Credit (i) the Letter of Credit Exposure of each Lender (whether or not 

  

 - 24 - 

Table of Contents

 
the conditions for drawing under any Letter of Credit have or may be satisfied) would not exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment and (ii) the Aggregate
Credit Exposure would not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment. Each Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Section shall have an expiration date which shall be not later than the earlier of (i) twelve months after the date of issuance
thereof or (ii) ten Business Days before the Commitment Termination Date. No Letter of Credit shall be issued if the Administrative Agent, or any Lender by notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time one
Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, shall have determined that any condition set forth in Section 5.01 or 5.02 has not been satisfied. 
 (b) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued for the account of the Borrower in support of an obligation of the Borrower in favor of a
beneficiary who has requested the issuance of such Letter of Credit as a condition to a transaction entered into in connection with the Borrower’s ordinary course of business. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent a Letter of Credit
Request for the issuance of each Letter of Credit by 2:00 p.m. New York City time, three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance. If requested by the Issuing Bank, each Letter of Credit Request shall be accompanied by the Issuing
Bank’s standard Application and Agreement for Standby Letter of Credit (each, a “Reimbursement Agreement”) executed by an authorized signatory of the Borrower, and shall specify (i) the beneficiary of such Letter of
Credit and the obligations of the Borrower in respect of which such Letter of Credit is to be issued, (ii) the Borrower’s proposal as to the conditions under which a drawing may be made under such Letter of Credit and the documentation to
be required in respect thereof, (iii) the maximum amount to be available under such Letter of Credit, and (iv) the requested dates of issuance and expiration. Upon receipt of such Letter of Credit Request from the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each other Lender thereof. Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank, with such provisions with respect to the conditions under which a drawing may be
made thereunder and the documentation required in respect of such drawing as the Issuing Bank shall reasonably require. Each Letter of Credit shall be used solely for the purposes described therein. The Issuing Bank shall, on the proposed date of
issuance and subject to the terms and conditions of the Reimbursement Agreement, if any, and to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit. 
 (c) Each payment by the Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under a Letter of Credit shall give rise to an obligation on the part of the
Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank by 3:00 P.M. New York City time on the next Business Day after the date of such payment together with interest on the amount of such payment from the date such payment was made by the Issuing Bank. 

Section 2.10 Letter of Credit Participation and Funding Commitments 
 (a) Each Lender hereby unconditionally, irrevocably and severally (and not jointly) for itself only and without any notice to or the
taking of any action by such Lender, takes an undivided participating interest in the obligations of the Issuing Bank under and in connection with each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of
such Letter of Credit. Each Lender shall be liable to the Issuing Bank for its 

  

 - 25 - 

Table of Contents

 
Commitment Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any draft drawn and honored under each Letter of Credit. Each Lender shall also be liable for an amount
equal to the product of its Commitment Percentage and any amounts paid by the Borrower that are subsequently rescinded or avoided, or must otherwise be restored or returned. Such liabilities shall be unconditional and without regard to the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or the compliance by the Borrower with any of its obligations under the Loan Documents. 
 (b) The Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender (which notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing) of the date and the amount of any
draft presented under any Letter of Credit with respect to which full reimbursement of payment is not made by the Borrower as provided in Section 2.09(c), and forthwith upon receipt of such notice, such Lender (other than the Issuing Bank in
its capacity as a Lender) shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank its Commitment Percentage of the amount of such unreimbursed draft at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in
Section 10.01, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds, before 4:00 p.m. New York City time, on the day such notice was given by the Administrative Agent, if the relevant notice was given by the Administrative
Agent at or prior to 1:00 p.m. New York City time, on such day, and before 12:00 noon, on the next Business Day, if the relevant notice was given by the Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m. New York City time, on such day. The Administrative Agent
shall distribute the payments made by each Lender (other than the Issuing Bank in its capacity as a Lender) pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence to the Issuing Bank promptly upon receipt thereof in like funds as received. In the event the
Administrative Agent has not in fact made available to each Lender its share of the applicable payment within one Business Day of the receipt thereof, then the Administrative Agent agrees to pay to the applicable Lender forthwith on demand its share
of such payment with interest thereon for each day, from and including the second Business Day after such payment was received by the Administrative Agent but excluding the date of payment by the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal
Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank from and against any and
all losses, liabilities (including liabilities for penalties), actions, suits, judgments, demands, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel to the Issuing Bank as the issuer of the
relevant Letter of Credit) resulting from any failure on the part of such Lender to provide, or from any delay in providing, the Administrative Agent with such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Bank
under a Letter of Credit in accordance with this subsection (b) (except in respect of losses, liabilities or other obligations suffered by the Issuing Bank resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank). If a
Lender does not make available to the Administrative Agent when due such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any unreimbursed payment made by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit (other than payments made by the Issuing Bank by reason of its
gross negligence or willful misconduct), such Lender shall be required to pay interest to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank on such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such payment at a rate of interest per annum equal
to the Federal Funds Rate for the first three days after the due date of such payment until the date such payment is received by the Administrative Agent and the Federal Funds Rate plus 2% 

  

 - 26 - 

Table of Contents

 
thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such interest payments to the Issuing Bank upon receipt thereof in like funds as received. In the event
the Administrative Agent has not in fact made available to each Lender its share of the applicable payment within one Business Day of the receipt thereof, then the Administrative Agent agrees to pay to the applicable Lender forthwith on demand its
share of such payment with interest thereon for each day, from and including the second Business Day after such payment was received by the Administrative Agent but excluding the date of payment by the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the
Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 (c) Whenever the Administrative Agent is reimbursed by the Borrower, for the account of the Issuing Bank, for any payment under a Letter of Credit and such payment relates to an amount previously paid by a Lender in
respect of its Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment under such Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent (or the Issuing Bank, to the extent that the Administrative Agent has paid the same to the Issuing Bank) will pay over such
payment to such Lender before 4:00 p.m. New York City time on the day such payment from the Borrower is received, if such payment is received at or prior to 2:00 p.m. New York City time on such day, or before 12:00 noon New York City time on the
next succeeding Business Day, if such payment from the Borrower is received after 2:00 p.m. New York City time on such day. 
 Section 2.11
Absolute Obligation With Respect to Letter of Credit Payments; Cash Collateral 
 (a) The Borrower’s obligation to
reimburse the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank in respect of a Letter of Credit for each payment under or in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and
irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, as issuer of such Letter of Credit, any Lender or
any other Person, including, without limitation, (i) any defense based on the failure of any drawing to conform to the terms of such Letter of Credit, (ii) any drawing document proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect,
(iii) the legality, validity, regularity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit or this Agreement, (iv) any payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentment of a draft or other document that does not comply with
the terms of such Letter of Credit or (v) any other event or circumstance 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; provided, that, with respect to any Letter of Credit, the foregoing shall not relieve the Issuing Bank of any liability it may have to the Borrower for any actual damages sustained by the Borrower arising from a wrongful payment under
such Letter of Credit made as a result of the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 (b) If any Event
of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Borrower shall on the Business Day it receives notice from the Administrative Agent, deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to one
hundred percent (100%) of the Aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure as of such date. Such deposit shall be

held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Reimbursement Obligations, the Letter of Credit Fee and fees and
expenses of the Issuing Bank otherwise provided for herein. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. The Administrative Agent shall invest such deposits in
Permitted Investments and interest or profits on such investments shall accumulate in such account. The moneys in such account shall (i) automatically be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for Reimbursement
Obligations, (ii) be held for the satisfaction of the Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower, the Letter of Credit Fee and fees and expenses of the Issuing Bank otherwise provided for herein, and (iii) if the maturity of the Revolving
Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy the Reimbursement Obligations and the Letter of Credit Fee and the fees and expenses of the Issuing Bank otherwise provided for herein.

 Section 3.01 Interest 
 (a) ABR Loans and unpaid Reimbursement Obligations shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate. 
 (b) Eurodollar Borrowings shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus
the Applicable Margin. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of and interest on any Revolving Loan or
Reimbursement Obligation or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due and after the expiration of any applicable grace period, then all such amounts shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a
rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of principal of any Revolving Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Revolving Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section, or (ii) in
the case of any other amount, 2% plus the Alternate Base Rate. 
 (d) Accrued interest on each Revolving Loan shall be
payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Revolving Loan, provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment

event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Revolving Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, and such determination shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable error. 
 Section 3.02 Interest Elections

 (a) Any Borrowing on the Effective Date shall be of ABR Loans. Thereafter, each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type
specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. 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 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 case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Revolving Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Revolving Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. 
 (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 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 hand delivery or facsimile transmission 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) of this paragraph 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 one month’s duration. 
  

 - 29 - 

Table of Contents

 (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 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 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 outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued beyond the current Interest Period as a Eurodollar Borrowing, and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at
the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 Section 3.03 Fees 
 (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, a commitment fee, which shall accrue at a rate
per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on the daily amount of the unused Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the date on which this Agreement shall have become effective in accordance with Section 10.06 to but
excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of April, July, October and January of each year, each date on which the Commitments are permanently reduced and on
the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. 
 (b) The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, a utilization fee for any day on which the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans shall be equal to or greater than 50% of the total Commitments equal to
0.10% per annum on the aggregate amount of each Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans on such day (the “Utilization Fee”). Accrued utilization fees, if any, shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of
each April, July, October and January, on any date prior to the Commitment Termination Date on which a Lender’s Commitment terminates, and on the Commitment Termination Date; provided, that any Utilization Fee accruing after the
Commitment Termination Date shall be payable on demand. 
 (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) with respect to each Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears during the period from and including the date of issuance thereof to and including the expiration
or cancellation date thereof (a) on the first Business Day of each April, July, October and January of each year, (b) upon such expiration or cancellation date and (c) on the Letter of Credit Termination Date, at a rate per annum
equal to the Applicable Margin on Eurodollar Borrowings on the average daily maximum amount available under any contingency to be drawn under any such Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be calculated for the actual number of days
elapsed during the period in question on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable.

 (d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, for
their own account, and, to each Lender, for its own account, fees and other amounts payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders. 
 (e) All commitment fees and utilization fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and shall be
payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) during the period in question. 
 (f) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Credit Party, for its own account, fees and other amounts payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and such Credit Party. 
 (g) All fees and other amounts payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative
Agent for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and utilization fees, to the Lenders. Fees and other amounts paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances other than clearly demonstrable error. 
 Section 3.04 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 clearly demonstrable error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest
Period; or 
 (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by any Lender that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as
applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining its Revolving Loan included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile transmission 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 Borrowing to, or continuation of any
Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower shall have submitted
a Borrowing Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing and the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower in accordance with the preceding sentence that such Borrowing will be made as an ABR Borrowing, the Borrower shall have the
right, prior to the time by which it would have had to submit a Borrowing Request for an ABR Borrowing to be made on the same date, to withdraw such Borrowing Request.

 Section 3.05 Increased Costs; Illegality 
 (a) If any Change in Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Credit Party (except any such reserve
requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or 
 (ii) impose on any Credit Party or the London interbank market any
other condition affecting this Agreement, any Eurodollar Loans made by such Credit Party or any participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the
foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Credit Party of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan hereunder (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Revolving Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such
Credit Party hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will, upon request by any Credit Party, pay to such Credit Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Credit Party for such additional costs
incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Credit Party determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements
has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Credit Party’s capital or on the capital of such Credit Party’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Revolving Loans made by such Credit
Party to a level below that which such Credit Party or such Credit Party’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Credit Party’s policies and the policies of such Credit Party’s
holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Credit Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Credit Party or such Credit Party’s holding company for any such
reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a Credit Party setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such
Credit Party or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section including reasonably detailed supporting information shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be binding on the Borrower absent
clearly demonstrable error. The Borrower shall pay such Credit Party the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof unless the Borrower is asserting in good faith that there is clearly demonstrable error in such
certificate. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Credit Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not
constitute a waiver of such Credit Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Credit Party pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than
180 days prior to the date that such Credit Party notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Credit Party’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 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof but not to exceed a period of 365 days.

 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the date of this
Agreement, any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and
to the Administrative Agent: 
 (i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of
such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans), whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing or to
convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing, as applicable, for an additional Interest Period shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as
such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as applicable), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and 
 (ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such
Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans, as of the effective date of such notice as provided in the last sentence of this paragraph. 
 In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) of this paragraph, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by
such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans, as applicable. For purposes of this paragraph, a
notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective
on the date of receipt by the Borrower. 
 Section 3.06 Break Funding Payments 
 In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment (voluntary or otherwise) 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, or (c) the failure to borrow, convert,
continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto 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, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Revolving
Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Revolving Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure
to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Revolving Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such

Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar
market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be binding on the Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error. The
Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof unless there is clearly demonstrable error in any such certificate. 
 Section 3.07 Taxes 
 (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder and under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that, if
the Borrower is required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) 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 applicable Credit Party 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 (but without duplication) the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by such Credit Party on or with respect to any payment
by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under the Loan Documents (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and, unless caused by the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Credit Party, 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 Credit Party, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Credit Party, including, if available, reasonably
detailed supporting information, shall be delivered to and be binding on the Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error. If any Credit Party receives a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for which such Credit Party has
received payment from the Borrower hereunder, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of such refund and shall promptly upon receipt repay such refund to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Credit Party and without interest (other
than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority, if applicable); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Credit Party, agrees to return such refund (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Credit Party in the
event such Credit Party is required to repay such refund. Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit the Borrower from contesting or seeking a refund of any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes after payment thereof has been made in accordance
with this Section.

Table of Contents

 (d) 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. 
 (e) Each Credit Party organized under
the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each initial Credit Party and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it
becomes a Credit Party in the case of each other Credit Party, and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long thereafter as such Credit Party remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two original Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or W-8ECI or (in the case of a Credit Party that has certified in writing to the Administrative Agent that it is not (i) a “bank” as defined
in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code), (ii) a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) of the Borrower or (iii) a controlled foreign corporation related to
the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Credit
Party is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes or any other Loan Document or, in the case of a Credit Party that has certified that it is not a “bank”
as described above, certifying that such Credit Party is a foreign corporation, partnership, estate or trust. If the forms provided by a Credit Party at the time such Credit Party first becomes a party to this Agreement indicate a United States
interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Credit Party provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax
at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such forms; provided, however, that if, at the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Credit Party becomes a party to this
Agreement, the Credit Party assignor was entitled to payments under subsection (a) of this Section 3.07 in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall
include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Credit Party assignee on such date. 
 (f) For any period with respect to which a Credit Party has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form, certificate or other
document described in subsection (e) above or if the Borrower is unable to determine the tax payable or to provide information required by the Internal Revenue Service on Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or any successor form as a result of a Lender
withholding confidential information under Section 3.07(e) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document
originally was required to be provided or if such form, certificate or other document otherwise is not required under subsection (e) above), such Credit Party shall not be entitled to indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) of
this Section 3.07 with respect to Indemnified Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such

failure; provided, however, that should a Credit Party become subject to Indemnified Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other
document required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Credit Party shall reasonably request to assist such Credit Party to recover such Indemnified Taxes. 
 Section 3.08 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders 
 (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.05, 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 3.07, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Revolving Loans (or any participation
therein) hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to
Section 3.05 or 3.07, as applicable, 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. 
 (b) If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 3.05, 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 3.07, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to
fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign, and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations; provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent, 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, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts
payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 3.05 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.07, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and
delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

 The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. 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, (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 in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of the Credit Parties as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, 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 the Subsidiaries 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 Credit Parties as shall be necessary under the circumstances as
provided in Section 10.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative
Agent by the Borrower or a Credit Party (and, promptly after its receipt of any such notice, it shall give each Credit Party and the Borrower notice thereof), 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 hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of
any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness hereof or thereof or any other agreement, instrument or other document, or (v) the

 Section 9.04 Reliance by 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 believed by it
to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for
relying thereon. 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. 
 Section 9.05 Performance of Duties 
 The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the
Administrative Agent, provided that no such delegation shall serve as a release of the Administrative Agent or waiver by the Borrower of any rights hereunder. 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. 
 Section 9.06 Resignation; Successors 
 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 Credit Parties and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the
Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent shall, in consultation with the Borrower, on behalf of the Credit Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. 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. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those 

  

 - 54 - 

Table of Contents

 
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 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of
them while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 Section 9.07 Non-Reliance by Credit Parties 
 Each Credit Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party 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 Credit Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Credit Party 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 any Loan Document, any related agreement or any
document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 Section 9.08 Agents 
 None of the banks or other Persons identified on the cover page of this Agreement or in the preamble to this Agreement as a “co-syndication
agent”, “co-documentation agent”, “lead arranger”, “co-arranger”, or “book manager” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty to any Person under this Agreement, any of
the other Loan Documents or otherwise, other than BNY in its capacity as Administrative Agent and each Lender in its capacity as a Lender. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such banks or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to

therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Revolving Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Credit Party
may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (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 Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower 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 Revolving Loan or Reimbursement Obligations, or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than
the imposition of additional interest under Section 3.01(c)), or reduce any fees or other amounts payable under the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, 
 (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Revolving Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees or other
amounts payable under the Loan Documents, 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 Credit Party affected thereby, 
 (iv) change any provision hereof in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required by any Loan Document, without the
written consent of each Credit Party, or 
 (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of
“Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent
of each Lender, 
 and provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of (A) the
Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and (B) the Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Issuing Bank. 
 Section 10.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver 
 (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and BNY Capital Markets, Inc., the sole Lead Arranger, including the reasonable fees, charges and
disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the
provisions of any Loan Document (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be 

  

 - 57 -

consummated), and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Credit Party, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of a
single counsel for the Administrative Agent and a single counsel for the other Credit Parties, 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 and during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Revolving Loans and the Letters of Credit. 
 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party and each Related Party thereof (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution
or delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations hereunder and thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or
any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Revolving Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the
Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of the 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 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 (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (B) arise out of a
claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnitee for a breach which is finally determined by a final and nonapealable judgment to have constituted a bad faith breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations under this Agreement. 
 (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph
(a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent 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 applicable, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such. 
 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto agrees that it will not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any
Indemnitee or the Borrower, as the case may be, 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, any Loan Document or
any agreement, instrument or other document contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions or any Revolving Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly, but in any event no later than 10 days, after written demand therefor.

 Section 10.04 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, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Credit Party (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, the Related Parties of each Credit Party) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of any Loan Document. 
 (b) Each Lender may, and, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if demanded by the Borrower pursuant to 3.08(b)
upon at least five Business Days’ notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent will, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including,
without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or Commitments, the Loans (including, for the purposes of this Section 10.04(b), participations in Letters of Credit) owing to it and the Note held by it); provided, however, that
(i) each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any or all facilities (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment
is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a
Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or an Approved Fund of any Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Commitments being assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to
such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, unless a
Default has occurred under Section 8(a), Section 8(i) or Section 8(j) or unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all of
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, (iv) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an
Affiliate of any Lender or an Approved Fund of any Lender, such assignment shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and, the Borrower, so long as (A) no Default has occurred under Section 8(a), Section 8(i) or Section 8(j)
and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of effectiveness of such assignment, or (B) the Administrative Agent shall not have determined that such assignment is necessary to achieve a successful syndication of the
facilities (in each case such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (v) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (vi) any assignment of a Revolving Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent and
the Issuing Bank unless the person that is proposed is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee), (vii) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to
this Section 10.04(b) shall be arranged by the Borrower after consultation with the Administrative Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the 

  

 - 59 - 

Table of Contents

 
assigning Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other
such assignments that together cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement, (viii) no Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this
Section 10.04(b) unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from the Borrower or one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Borrowing
owing to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, (ix) no such assignments shall be permitted without the consent of
the Administrative Agent until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Credit Parties that syndication of the Commitments hereunder has been completed and (x) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note subject to such assignment and (except in the case of any such assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate or Approved Fund of
such Lender) a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, however, that for each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.04(b), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent the
applicable processing and recordation fee. 
 (c) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the
effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have
the rights and obligations of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, hereunder and (ii) the Lender or the Issuing Bank assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant
to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Sections 3.05, 3.07 and 10.03 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under
this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall cease
to be a party hereto). 
 (d) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Credit Party assignor thereunder
and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Credit Party makes no representation or warranty
and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection
or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Credit Party makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.04 and such other documents and information as it 

  

 - 60 - 

Table of Contents

 
has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Credit Party or any other Credit Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes each Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers
and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform
in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be. 
 (e) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.01 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance
delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Credit Parties and the Commitment under each facility of, and principal amount of the Loans owing under each facility to, each Credit Party from
time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent clearly demonstrable error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties may treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register as a Credit Party hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, such assignment shall be effective between such Lender and its
Affiliate immediately without compliance with the conditions for assignment under this Section 10.04, but shall not be effective with respect to any other party hereto, and each other party hereto shall be entitled to deal solely with such
assigning Lender under any such assignment, in each case until the conditions for assignment under this Section 10.04 have been satisfied. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or any Credit
Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (f) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and
Acceptance executed by an assigning Credit Party and an assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of
Exhibit A hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and each other Administrative Agent. In the case of any
assignment by a Lender, within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note a new Note to the order of such Eligible
Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it under each facility pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender has retained a Commitment hereunder under such facility, a new Note to the order of such
assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note, shall be dated the effective date of such
Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto.

 (g) Each Credit Party may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than the
Borrower or any of its Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Loans (including
such Lender’s participations in Reimbursement Obligations) owing to it and the Note (if any) held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Credit Party’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its
Commitments) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Credit Party shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Credit Party shall remain the holder of any such Note for all
purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Credit Party in connection with such Credit Party’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement and (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that
such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Borrowings or Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, postpone any date fixed for any
payment of principal of, or interest on, the Borrowings or Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. The Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 and 10.03 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.08(c) as though it were a Lender. A participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.05 and
3.07 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.

 (h) Any Credit Party may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation
pursuant to this Section 10.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Credit Party by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided, however, that, prior
to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential Information received by it from such Credit Party in accordance with
Section 10.12 to the same extent as if it were a Credit Party. 
 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve
Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 Section 10.05 Survival 
 All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or 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 any Loan Document and the making of any Revolving
Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended
hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Revolving Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under the Loan Documents is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments
have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 and 10.03 and Article 9 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the
Revolving Loans and the termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 Section 10.06
Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness 
 This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to any Credit Party
constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.01,
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 this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery
of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 Section 10.07 Severability 
 In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself
affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as
possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

 Section 10.08 Right of Setoff 
 If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and
from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by it 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 it, irrespective of whether or not it shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although
such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that it may have. 
 Section 10.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process 
 (a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles
of conflict of laws. 
 (b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the
nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by applicable 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

 FORM OF OPINION LETTER 
 [GOODSILL ANDERSON QUINN & STIFEL LLP LETTERHEAD] 

April     , 2006 
 The Bank of
New York, as Administrative Agent, 
 and the Lenders referred to in the 
 Credit Agreement (as defined below) 
 One Wall Street 
 New York, New York 10286 
  

	 	Re:	Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. 

 Ladies and Gentlemen:

 We have acted as counsel to Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc., a Hawaii corporation (the “Borrower”), and have represented
Borrower in connection with the Credit Agreement dated as of March 31, 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto, Bank of Hawaii and First Hawaiian Bank, as Co-Syndication Agents, Wells Fargo Bank,
N.A., U. S. Bank National Association and Union Bank of California, N.A., as Co-Documentation Agents, and The Bank of New York, as Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank (the “Administrative Agent”). Capitalized terms used herein and
not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings given such terms in the Credit Agreement. This opinion is rendered to you pursuant to Section 5.01(c) of the Credit Agreement. 
 In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or copies of the following documents: 
 (i) the Credit Agreement; 
 (ii) the Notes;

 (iii) the Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Borrower’s Charter”) of the Borrower, as filed with the
Director of Commerce and Consumer Affairs for the State of Hawaii; 
 (iv) the Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Borrower (the
“Borrower’s By-Laws”; and, together with the Borrower’s Charter, the “Governing Documents”); and 
 (v) the
Certificate of the Secretary of the Borrower, as of the date hereof (the “Secretary’s Certificate”), as to certain actions taken by the Board of Directors of the Borrower 

Table of Contents

 
on March 7, 2006 and March 27, 2006, as to the titles, incumbency, and specimen signatures of certain officers of the Borrower and attaching a
Certificate of Good Standing issued by the Director of the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs of the State of Hawaii. 
 The
documents specified in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Loan Documents.” In rendering this opinion, we have obtained such certificates and other information from public and government
officials and from officers and employees of the Borrower, and have also examined such documents and corporate and other records as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. 
 Based on the foregoing and subject to the other qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein and as limited thereby, and after examination
of such matters of law as we have deemed relevant, we are of the opinion that: 
 1. The Borrower has been duly incorporated and is validly
existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Hawaii. To our knowledge, the Borrower does not itself conduct any business or own or lease any property in any jurisdiction outside the State of Hawaii that would require it
to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation and where the failure to be so qualified would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Borrower. 
 2. The Borrower has the corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted. 
 3. The execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Loan Documents, and the performance by the Borrower of its obligations under the Loan Documents, are
within the Borrower’s corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Borrower. The Borrower has duly executed and delivered each of the Loan Documents. 
 4. Each of the Loan Documents constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its
respective terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights, by general equitable principles (regardless of whether considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law), and by an implied covenant of reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing. 
 5. To our knowledge, the
execution and delivery by the Borrower of each of the Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and compliance by the Borrower with the provisions thereof (i) will not conflict with or result in a breach or
default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under any of the provisions of the Borrower’s Governing Documents or any other material agreement binding upon the Borrower of which we have knowledge, except for
such conflict, breach or default as to which requisite waivers or consents have been obtained, (ii) will not violate any law, statute, rule or regulation known to us, or any judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or other
tribunal, applicable to the Borrower or any of its properties or assets, and 

Table of Contents

 
(iii) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower (except as provided in Section 7.01 of the Credit
Agreement). No consent or approval by, or any notification of or filing with, any court, public body or authority is required to be obtained or effected by the Borrower in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of
its obligations under each of the Loan Documents or the consummation by the Borrower of the transactions contemplated thereby. 
 6. To our
knowledge, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, the Borrower or any of its assets before any court or arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or official, which, in the event of an adverse decision, which could reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Borrower, except for any actions, suits or proceedings referred to in the Current SEC Reports, or which in any manner draws into question the validity of the
Loan Documents. 
 7. The Borrower is not an “investment company” nor is it controlled by an “investment company”, in
each case within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 The foregoing opinions are subject to the following
qualifications: 
 (a) We are members of the Bar of the State of Hawaii and we do not hold ourselves out as experts on the
laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Hawaii and the federal laws of the United States. This opinion is limited in all respects to matters governed by the laws of the State of Hawaii and the federal laws of the United States of America.
We express no opinion concerning compliance with the laws or regulations of any other jurisdiction or jurisdictions, or as to the validity, meaning or effect of any act or document under the laws of any other jurisdiction or jurisdictions. Our
opinion with regard to the validity, binding nature and enforceability of each of the Loan Documents is based upon the assumptions that the laws of the State of New York govern the Loan Documents and that the laws of the State of Hawaii are the same
in all relevant respects as the laws of the State of New York, and we give no opinion with respect to the enforceability of the Loan Documents to the extent that the laws of the State of New York differ from the laws of the State of Hawaii.

 (b) We have relied as to matters of fact upon representations and warranties of the Borrower in the Loan Documents and upon
certificates and representations of officers and employees of the Borrower and upon certificates of public and government officials as to matters set forth therein. Our opinion in paragraph 1 as to the good standing of the Borrower is based solely
on the Certificate of Good Standing of the Borrower attached to the Secretary’s Certificate. 
 (c) We have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures (other than the signatures of the officers of the Borrower), the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or
photostatic copies (and the authenticity of the originals of such documents), the accuracy and completeness of all corporate records (which includes stock ownership records) made available to us by Borrower and the capacity of each party executing a
document (other than Borrower) to so execute such document. 

Table of Contents

 (d) Our opinion is subject to the qualification that enforcement of any waiver and
release or limitation of liability provisions in any of the Loan Documents may be limited to the extent such provisions are contrary to public policy or principles of equity under Hawaii jurisprudence, but such policy and equitable limitations do
not, in our opinion, render the Loan Documents invalid as a whole or preclude the judicial enforcement of the obligation of the Borrower to repay the principal, together with interest thereon (to the extent not deemed a penalty) as provided in the
Loan Documents. 
 (e) The remedies of specific performance, injunction and other forms of equitable relief may not be
available as to the provisions contained in any of the Loan Documents to the extent they are subject to equitable defenses and the discretion of the court before which the proceedings therefor may be brought. 
 (f) We express no opinion as to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any provision of any of the Loan Documents
(i) which requires further agreement by the parties or expressly or impliedly permits any party to take discretionary action which is arbitrary, unreasonable or capricious, or would violate any implied covenant of good faith or would be
commercially unreasonable, whether or not such action is permitted according to the specific terms of any of the Loan Documents, or (ii) regarding remedies available to any party for violations or breaches which are determined by a court to be
nonmaterial or without substantial adverse effect upon the ability of the obligor to perform its material obligations thereunder. 
 (g) Our opinion is subject to the qualification that any requirement in any of the Loan Documents specifying that provisions thereof may only be waived in writing may not be binding or enforceable to the extent that a non-executory oral
agreement has been created modifying any provision in the Loan Documents or an implied agreement by trade practice or course of conduct has been created allowing a waiver. 
 (h) We express no opinion as to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of provisions specifying certain remedies or that rights or
remedies are not exclusive, that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to any other right or remedy, and/or that the election of a particular remedy does not preclude recourse to one or more others. 
 (i) Our opinion is subject to (i) limitations on the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of provisions which a court
may find unconscionable, and (ii) limitations on the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of agreements to indemnify, defend or hold harmless when the event giving rise to the obligations thereunder are caused, in whole or in
part, by the actions, omissions, or negligence of the indemnitee thereunder or when the enforcement of any such agreements is against public policy. 
 (j) Whenever an opinion expressed herein is qualified by the phrase “to our knowledge,” “known to us,” or “nothing has come to our attention” or other phrase of similar import, such
phrase is intended to mean the actual knowledge of information by the lawyers in our firm who have been principally involved in drafting the Loan Documents, but does not include other information that might be revealed if there were to be undertaken
a canvass of all 

Table of Contents

 
lawyers in our firm, a general search of all files or any other type of independent investigation. With respect to the opinions expressed in paragraph 6 of
this letter, our opinion is limited to litigation and proceedings pending against Borrower with respect to which our firm has been consulted and has devoted substantive attention. 
 This opinion is based on the laws and regulations as in effect on the date hereof and facts as we understand them as of the date hereof.
We are not assuming any obligation, and do not undertake, to revise, update or supplement this opinion after the date hereof notwithstanding any change in applicable law or regulation or interpretation thereof, any amendment, supplement,
modification or rescission of any document examined or relied on in connection herewith, or any change in the facts, after the date hereof. 
 This opinion is rendered in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement solely for your benefit and is not to be relied upon, quoted, circulated, used or otherwise referred to for any other
purpose, nor may it be relied upon by any other person, without our prior written consent, except that you may furnish this opinion to any regulatory authority or as otherwise required by law. 
 Very truly yours,

 March     , 2006 
 For value received, the undersigned, HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES, INC., a Hawaii corporation (the “Borrower”), hereby promises
to pay to the order of                      (the “Lender”), at the office of the Administrative Agent (hereinafter
defined) located at One Wall Street, New York, New York 10286 or at such other place as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing from time to time, the principal sum of
                     DOLLARS
($                    ) or, if less, the outstanding principal balance of all Revolving Loans made by the Lender to the Borrower pursuant
to the Credit Agreement (hereinafter defined), in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, on the date(s) and in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement. The Borrower also promises to pay interest on the
unpaid principal balance hereof for the period such balance is outstanding, and all other amounts due under this Note, at said office of the Administrative Agent, in like money, at the rates of interest as provided in the Credit Agreement, on the
date(s) and in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement. 
 The date and amount of each type of Revolving Loan made by the Lender to the
Borrower, under the Credit Agreement, and each payment of principal thereof, shall be recorded by the Lender on its books and endorsed by the Lender on Schedule I attached hereto or any continuation thereof; and in the absence of manifest
error, such schedule shall constitute prima facie evidence thereof. No failure on the part of the Lender to make, or mistake by the Lender in making, any notation as provided in this paragraph shall in any way affect any Revolving Loan or the rights
or obligations of the Lender or the Borrower with respect thereto. 
 This Note evidences the Revolving Loan(s) made by the Lender and
referred to in the Credit Agreement dated as of the date of this Note (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Borrower, the Lenders from time to

entitled to the benefits and security set forth in the Loan Documents. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement. 

Table of Contents

 The Borrower shall be entitled to borrow, repay, prepay in whole or in part and reborrow the Revolving
Loan(s) hereunder pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. 
 The Borrower promises to pay, on demand, interest at the
default rate pursuant to Section 3.01(c) of the Credit Agreement, from the expiration of any applicable grace period, on any overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest. The Credit Agreement also provides
for the acceleration of the maturity of principal upon the occurrence of certain Events of Default and for prepayments on the terms and conditions specified in the Credit Agreement. 
 The Borrower waives diligence, presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest and any other demands and notices in connection with the delivery,
acceptance, performance and enforcement of this Note, except to the extent that notice is specifically required under the Credit Agreement. The nonexercise by the holder of this Note of any of its rights hereunder in any particular instance shall
not constitute a waiver thereof in that or any subsequent instance. 
 This Note shall be governed by, and interpreted and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. 
 THE BORROWER 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, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).
THE BORROWER CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY CREDIT PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH CREDIT PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER.

means, at any time, the sum at such time of the Revolving Commitments of all Lenders. The initial amount of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments is $175,000,000. 
 “Alternate Base Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greater of (a) the Prime Rate in
effect on such day, and (b) the sum of Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1% per annum. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Rate shall be effective from and

Commitments, provided that (i) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.07, the Aggregate Credit Exposure
would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (ii) each such reduction shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000. 
 (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. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments hereunder shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments hereunder shall be
made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. 
 (d) Provided that immediately before and
after giving effect thereto, no Default shall or would exist, the Borrower may at any time and from time to time, on or before the forty eighth (48th) month anniversary of the Effective Date, at its sole cost and expense, request any one or
more of the Lenders to increase (such decision to be within the sole and absolute discretion of such Lender) its Revolving Commitment, or any other Eligible Assignee reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to provide a
new Revolving Commitment, by submitting an Increase Request in the form of Exhibit E (an “Increase Request”), duly executed by the Borrower and each such Lender or Eligible Assignee, as the case may be. If such Increase Request is in all
respects reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall execute such Increase Request and deliver a copy thereof to the Borrower and each such Lender or Eligible Assignee, as the case may be. Upon execution and
delivery of such Increase Request, (i) in the case of each such Lender, such Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall be increased to the amount set forth in such Increase Request, (ii) in the case of each such Eligible Assignee, such
Eligible Assignee shall become a party hereto and shall for all purposes of the Loan Documents be deemed a “Lender” with a Revolving Commitment in the amount set forth in such Increase Request, and (iii) the Borrower shall
contemporaneously therewith execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Note or Notes for each such Eligible Assignee providing a new Revolving Commitment and for such existing Lender increasing its Revolving Commitment provided, however,
that: 
 (i) immediately after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall not have been increased
pursuant to this subsection (d) to an amount greater than $225,000,000; 
 (ii) each such increase shall be in an amount
not less than $5,000,000 or such amount plus an integral multiple of $1,000,000; 
  

 - 19 - 

 (iii) the Revolving Commitments shall not be increased on more than two occasions;

 (iv) if Loans shall be outstanding immediately after giving effect to such increase, the Lenders shall, upon the acceptance
of the Increase Request by, and at the direction of, the Administrative Agent, make appropriate adjustments among themselves so that the amount of the Loans outstanding to the Borrower from any of the Lenders under this Agreement are allocated among
the Lenders according to their Commitment Percentages after giving effect to the increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments; 
 (v) each such Eligible Assignee shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower an Administrative Questionnaire and all forms, if any, that are required to be delivered by such Eligible Assignee pursuant to
Section 3.07(e); and 
 (vi) the Administrative Agent shall have received (1) a copy of an order or approval issued
by the PUC, certified by a Financial Officer of the Borrower to be true and complete, which is final and not subject to review or appeal, that authorizes the Borrower to obtain any increase in the Commitments requested by the Borrower and (2) a
certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower attaching thereto resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Borrower authorizing any increase of the Commitments requested by the Borrower. 
 Section 2.06 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt 
 (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Commitment Termination Date.

 (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the debt of the
Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Revolving Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Revolving Loan made hereunder,
the 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, to the extent not inconsistent with any entries made in any Note, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded
therein, provided, however, 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 Revolving Loans in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
  

 - 20 - 

 (e) The Revolving Loans of each Lender and interest thereon shall at all times (including
after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be evidenced by one or more Notes payable to the order of such Lender (or, if such Note is a registered note, to such Lender and its registered assigns). 
 Section 2.07 Prepayment of Revolving Loans 
 (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section. 
 (b) In the event of any partial reduction or termination of the Commitments, then (i) at or prior to the date of such reduction or
termination, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures after giving effect thereto, and (ii) if such sum would exceed the total Commitments after giving effect to such
reduction or termination, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction or termination, prepay Revolving Borrowings in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. 
 (c) Mandatory Prepayments. 
 (i) Simultaneously with each reduction or termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, the Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Loans, by an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Aggregate Credit Exposure
minus the Aggregate Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such reduction or termination. 
 (ii) Simultaneously with
each reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Loans by an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans, or (2) the excess of the
aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans over the Aggregate Revolving Commitments as so reduced or terminated. 
 (d) Simultaneously with each prepayment of a Revolving Loan, the Borrower shall prepay all accrued interest on the amount prepaid through the date of prepayment. 
 (e) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by facsimile transmission) of any prepayment hereunder
(i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the Business Day of the 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. Promptly following receipt of any such
notice relating to a prepayment of a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing under Sections 2.05(b) and 2.07(a) shall, when added to the amount of each concurrent
reduction of the Commitments and prepayment of Borrowings under such Sections, be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Revolving 

  

 - 21 - 

 
Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 3.01. 
 Section 2.08 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs 
 (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal,
interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 or 10.03, or otherwise) prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received
after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative
Agent at its office at One Wall Street, New York, New York, or such other office as to which the Administrative Agent may notify the other parties hereto, except that payments pursuant to Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 and 10.03 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. In the event the Administrative Agent has
not in fact made available to each Lender its share of the applicable payment within one Business Day of the receipt thereof, then the Administrative Agent agrees to pay to the applicable Lender forthwith on demand its share of such payment with
interest thereon for each day, from and including the second Business Day after such payment was received by the Administrative Agent but excluding the date of payment by the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 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. 
 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal of
Revolving Loans, interest, fees and commissions then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest, fees and commissions then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the
amounts of interest, fees and commissions then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal of Revolving Loans then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal of
Revolving Loans 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 resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving 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 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, 

  

 - 22 - 

 
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 Revolving Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation
pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is
due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Credit Parties 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 such Credit Parties the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each such Credit Party severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Credit Party 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 greater of
the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 (e) If any Credit Party shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof),
apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Credit Party to satisfy such Credit Party’s obligations under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 ARTICLE 3. INTEREST, FEES, YIELD PROTECTION, ETC. 
 Section 3.01 Interest 
 (a) ABR Loans shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate. 
 (b) Eurodollar Borrowings shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus
the Applicable Margin. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of and interest on any Revolving Loan or any fee
or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due and after the expiration of any applicable grace period, then all such amounts shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the
case of principal of any Revolving Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Revolving Loan as 

  

 - 23 - 

 
provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section, or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the Alternate Base Rate. 
 (d) Accrued interest on each Revolving Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Revolving Loan,
provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Revolving Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or
prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan before the end of the Availability Period), and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the
current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Revolving Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 
 (e) 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 in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) in the period in question. The applicable Alternate Base Rate,
Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and such determination shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable error. 
 Section 3.02 Interest Elections 
 (a) Any Borrowing on the Effective Date shall be of ABR Loans. Thereafter, each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall
have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. 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 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 case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the
Revolving Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Revolving Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. 
 (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 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 hand delivery or
facsimile transmission 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:

  

 - 24 - 

 (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) of this paragraph
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 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 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 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
outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued beyond the current Interest Period as a Eurodollar Borrowing, and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto. 
 Section 3.03 Fees 
 (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, a commitment fee, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on the daily amount of the unused
Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the date on which this Agreement shall have become effective in accordance with Section 10.06 to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees
shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of April, July, October and January of each year, each date on which the Commitments are permanently reduced and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date
to occur after the date hereof. 
  

 - 25 - 

 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Lender, a utilization fee for any day on which the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans shall be equal to or greater than 50% of the total Commitments equal to 0.10% per annum on the aggregate amount of each Lender’s
outstanding Revolving Loans on such day (the “Utilization Fee”). Accrued utilization fees, if any, shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of April, July, October and January, on any date prior to the Commitment
Termination Date on which a Lender’s Commitment terminates, and on the Commitment Termination Date; provided, that any Utilization Fee accruing after the Commitment Termination Date shall be payable on demand. 
 (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, and, to each Lender for its own account, fees and other
amounts payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. 
 (d) All commitment fees and utilization fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day) during the period in question. 
 (e) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Credit Party, for its own
account, fees and other amounts payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and such Credit Party. 
 (f) All fees and other amounts payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and utilization fees, to
the Lenders. Fees and other amounts paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances other than clearly demonstrable error. 
 Section
3.04 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 clearly demonstrable error) that adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or 
 (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by any Lender that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining its
Revolving Loan included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the
Lenders by telephone or facsimile transmission 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 Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, 

  

 - 26 - 

 
and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the Borrower shall have submitted a Borrowing Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing and the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower in accordance with the preceding sentence that such Borrowing will be made as an ABR
Borrowing, the Borrower shall have the right, prior to the time by which it would have had to submit a Borrowing Request for an ABR Borrowing to be made on the same date, to withdraw such Borrowing Request. 
 Section 3.05 Increased Costs; Illegality 
 (a) If any Change in Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special
deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Credit Party (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or 
 (ii) impose on any Credit Party or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement, any Eurodollar Loans made by
such Credit Party or any participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Credit Party of making or
maintaining any Eurodollar Loan hereunder (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Revolving Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Credit Party hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then
the Borrower will, upon request by any Credit Party, pay to such Credit Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Credit Party for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Credit Party determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on such Credit Party’s capital or on the capital of such Credit Party’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Revolving Loans made by such Credit Party to a level below that which such Credit Party or
such Credit Party’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Credit Party’s policies and the policies of such Credit Party’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then
from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Credit Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Credit Party or such Credit Party’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a Credit Party setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Credit Party or its holding company,
as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section including reasonably detailed supporting information shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be binding on the Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error. The
Borrower shall pay such Credit Party the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof unless the Borrower is asserting in good faith that there is clearly demonstrable error in such certificate. 
  

 - 27 - 

 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Credit Party to demand compensation pursuant to
this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Credit Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Credit Party pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or
reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Credit Party notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Credit Party’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 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof but not to exceed a
period of 365 days. 
 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the date of this Agreement, any
Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the
Administrative Agent: 
 (i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such
unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans), whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing or to convert
an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing, as applicable, for an additional Interest Period shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for
an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as applicable), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and 
 (ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such
Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans, as of the effective date of such notice as provided in the last sentence of this paragraph. 
 In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) of this paragraph, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by
such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans, as applicable. For purposes of this paragraph, a
notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective
on the date of receipt by the Borrower. 
 Section 3.06 Break Funding Payments 
 In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment (voluntary or otherwise) 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, or (c) the failure to borrow, convert,
continue or 

  

 - 28 - 

 
prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto 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, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of
interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Revolving Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Revolving Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day
of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Revolving Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on
such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate
of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be binding on the Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error. The Borrower shall pay such
Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof unless there is clearly demonstrable error in any such certificate. 
 Section 3.07 Taxes 
 (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of
the Borrower hereunder and under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that, if the Borrower is required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) 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 applicable
Credit Party 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 (but without duplication) the Borrower shall pay any Other
Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify each
Credit Party, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by such Credit Party on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under the Loan
Documents (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Credit Party, 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 Credit Party, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Credit Party, including, if available, reasonably detailed supporting information, shall be delivered to and be binding on
the Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error. If any Credit Party receives a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for which such Credit Party has 

  

 - 29 - 

 
received payment from the Borrower hereunder, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of such refund and shall promptly upon receipt repay such refund to the
Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Credit Party and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority, if applicable); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Credit Party, agrees
to return such refund (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Credit Party in the event such Credit Party is required to repay such refund. Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit the Borrower from contesting or seeking a refund
of any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes after payment thereof has been made in accordance with this Section. 
 (d) 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. 
 (e) Each Credit Party organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date of its execution
and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each initial Credit Party and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Credit Party in the case of each other Credit Party, and from time to time thereafter as
reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long thereafter as such Credit Party remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two original Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or
W-8ECI or (in the case of a Credit Party that has certified in writing to the Administrative Agent that it is not (i) a “bank” as defined in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code), (ii) a 10-percent shareholder
(within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) of the Borrower or (iii) a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code),
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Credit Party is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on
payments pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes or any other Loan Document or, in the case of a Credit Party that has certified that it is not a “bank” as described above, certifying that such Credit Party is a foreign corporation,
partnership, estate or trust. If the forms provided by a Credit Party at the time such Credit Party first becomes a party to this Agreement indicate a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall
be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Credit Party provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods
governed by such forms; provided, however, that if, at the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Credit Party becomes a party to this Agreement, the Credit Party assignor was entitled to payments under subsection
(a) of this Section 3.07 in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or
other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Credit Party assignee on such date. 
  

 - 30 - 

 (f) For any period with respect to which a Credit Party has failed to provide the
Borrower with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in subsection (e) above or if the Borrower is unable to determine the tax payable or to provide information required by the Internal Revenue Service on Form W-8BEN,
W-8ECI or any successor form as a result of a Lender withholding confidential information under Section 3.07(e) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on
which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided or if such form, certificate or other document otherwise is not required under subsection (e) above), such Credit Party shall not be entitled to indemnification
under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 3.07 with respect to Indemnified Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Credit Party become subject to Indemnified Taxes because of
its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Credit Party shall reasonably request to assist such Credit Party to recover such Indemnified Taxes. 
 Section 3.08 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders 
 (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.05, 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 3.07, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Revolving Loans (or any participation
therein) hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to
Section 3.05 or 3.07, as applicable, 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. 
 (b) If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 3.05, 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 3.07, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to
fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign, and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations; provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent, 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, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts
payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 3.05 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.07, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and
delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by 

  

 - 31 - 

 
such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 ARTICLE 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 The
Borrower represents and warrants to the Credit Parties that: 
 Section 4.01 Organization; Powers 
 The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is a duly and validly organized and existing corporation in good standing under the law of its state of

deliver and perform this Agreement and the Notes and to borrow hereunder. The Borrower’s execution and performance of this Agreement and the Notes, and each borrowing hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do
not and, as of the time of each borrowing will not, violate any provision of law or of its articles of incorporation or bylaws, or result in the breach of or constitute a default under or require any consent under any indenture or other agreement or
instrument to which the Borrower is a party or by which the Borrower or its property is bound or affected.

regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 
 Section 4.03 Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts 

All consents or approvals of any state or federal agency or authority, if any, required in order to permit the Borrower to enter into this Agreement
and to borrow hereunder, have been obtained and remain in full force and effect and the Transactions (a) do not require any other consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except
such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and except for the approval expected to be sought by the Borrower which is described in Section 2.05(a), (b) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the
charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other
instrument binding upon the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and (d) will not result in the creation or

which consolidated financial statements for fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 have been audited by KPMG LLP, independent registered public accountants. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates of such balance sheets and results of their operations and cash flows (or changes in financial position) for the periods covered by such statements of income, retained earnings and cash
flows (or changes in financial position), in accordance with GAAP.

 Section 4.05 Properties 
 (a) Each of the Borrower and its Significant Subsidiaries
has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property material to its business, except for minor defects in title that do not interfere in any material respect with its ability to conduct its business as currently
conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes. 
 (b) Each of the Borrower and its Significant
Subsidiaries owns, or is entitled to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, the use thereof by the Borrower and its Significant
Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 4.06 Litigation and Environmental Matters 
 (a) Except as heretofore disclosed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the financial statements and accompanying notes referenced in Section 4.04(a) or in the Current SEC Reports, there are no suits or
proceedings pending, or to the knowledge of the Borrower threatened, against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Significant Subsidiaries which have had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

the Disclosed Matters and (b) where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

validly extended) all tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for
which the Borrower has set aside on its books, to the extent required by GAAP, adequate reserves or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 4.10 ERISA 
 No ERISA Event
has occurred that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit
obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than 25% of
the amount of such accumulated benefit obligations the fair market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of

all such underfunded Plans. (For purposes of this Section 4.10, underfunded shall mean the excess of accumulated benefit obligations, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, over the fair market value of Plan
assets.)

behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 
 Section 9.02 Individual Capacity 
 The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its
Affiliates may accept deposits from, 

  

 - 47 - 

 
lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the
Administrative Agent hereunder. 
 Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions 
 The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. 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, (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 in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of the Credit Parties as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, 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 the Subsidiaries 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 Credit Parties as shall be necessary under the circumstances as
provided in Section 10.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative
Agent by the Borrower or a Credit Party (and, promptly after its receipt of any such notice, it shall give each Credit Party and the Borrower notice thereof), 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 hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or

to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for
relying thereon. 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. 
  

 - 48 - 

 Section 9.05 Performance of Duties 
 The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the
Administrative Agent, provided that no such delegation shall serve as a release of the Administrative Agent or waiver by the Borrower of any rights hereunder. 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. 
 Section 9.06 Resignation; Successors 
 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 Credit Parties and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the
Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent shall, in consultation with the Borrower, on behalf of the Credit Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. 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. 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 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 Section 9.07 Non-Reliance by Credit Parties 
 Each Credit Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party 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 Credit Party also acknowledges that it
will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party 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 any Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 Section 10.02 Waivers; Amendments 
 (a) No failure or delay by any Credit Party in
exercising any right or power under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.
No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Revolving Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Credit Party
may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (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 Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower 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 Revolving Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than the imposition of additional
interest under Section 3.01(c)), or reduce any fees or other amounts payable under the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, 
  

 - 51 - 

 (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Revolving
Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees or other amounts payable under the Loan Documents, 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 Credit Party affected thereby, 
 (iv) change any provision hereof in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of
payments required by any Loan Document, without the written consent of each Credit Party, or 
 (v) change any of the
provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any
consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, 
 and provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or
otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 10.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver 
 (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and BNY Capital Markets, Inc., the sole Lead Arranger, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication
of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of any Loan Document (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
shall be consummated), and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Credit Party, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the Administrative Agent and a single counsel for the other
Credit Parties, 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 and during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of
the Revolving Loans and the Letters of Credit. 
 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party and each Related Party
thereof (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations hereunder and thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any
Revolving Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability
related in any way to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or 

  

 - 52 - 

 
prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory 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 (A) are determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (B) arise out of a claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnitee for a breach which
is finally determined by a final and nonapealable judgment to have constituted a bad faith breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations under this Agreement. 
 (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph
(a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent 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 applicable, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such. 
 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto agrees that it will not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any
Indemnitee or the Borrower, as the case may be, 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, any Loan Document or
any agreement, instrument or other document contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions or any Revolving Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly, but in any event no later than 10 days, after written demand therefor. 
 Section 10.04 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, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of each Credit Party (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, the Related Parties of each Credit Party) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of any Loan
Document. 
 (b) Each Lender may, and, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if demanded by the
Borrower pursuant to 3.08(b) upon at least five Business Days’ notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent will, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or Commitments, the Loans owing to it and the Note held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment 

  

 - 53 - 

 
shall be of a uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any or all facilities (determined as of the date
the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date), (ii) except in the case of an assignment
to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or an Approved Fund of any Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the
Commitments being assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall
be approved by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, unless a Default has occurred under Section 8(a), Section 8(h) or Section 8(i) or unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), (iii) each partial assignment
shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, (iv) except in the case of an assignment to a Person
that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or an Approved Fund of any Lender, such assignment shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and, the Borrower, so long as (A) no Default has occurred
under Section 8(a), Section 8(h) or Section 8(i) and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of effectiveness of such assignment, or (B) the Administrative Agent shall not have determined that such
assignment is necessary to achieve a successful syndication of the facilities (in each case such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (v) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (vi) any assignment of a
Revolving Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent unless the person that is proposed is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee), (vii) each such assignment made as a
result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.04(b) shall be arranged by the Borrower after consultation with the Administrative Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning
Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under
this Agreement, (viii) no Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.04(b) unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from the
Borrower or one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Borrowing owing to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal
amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, (ix) no such assignments shall be permitted without the consent of the Administrative Agent until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Credit Parties that
syndication of the Commitments hereunder has been completed and (x) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance,
together with any Note subject to such assignment and (except in the case of any such assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such Lender) a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, however, that for each such
assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.04(b), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent the applicable processing and recordation fee. 
  

 - 54 - 

 (c) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective
date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights
and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its
rights under Sections 3.05, 3.07 and 10.03 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering
all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). 
 (d) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Credit Party assignor thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as
follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Credit Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in
connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection
with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Credit Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower
or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement,
together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance;
(iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Credit Party or any other Credit Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes each Administrative Agent to take such action as
agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and
(vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 
 (e) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.01 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance
delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Credit Parties and the Commitment under each facility of, and principal amount of the Loans owing under each facility to, each Credit Party from
time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent clearly demonstrable error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties may treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register as a Credit Party hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, in 

  

 - 55 - 

 
the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, such assignment shall be effective between such Lender and its Affiliate immediately
without compliance with the conditions for assignment under this Section 10.04, but shall not be effective with respect to any other party hereto, and each other party hereto shall be entitled to deal solely with such assigning Lender under any
such assignment, in each case until the conditions for assignment under this Section 10.04 have been satisfied. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or any Credit Party at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (f) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by
an assigning Credit Party and an assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto,
(i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and each other Administrative Agent. In the case of any assignment by a
Lender, within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note a new Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an
amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it under each facility pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender has retained a Commitment hereunder under such facility, a new Note to the order of such assigning Lender in an
amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance
and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto. 
 (g) Each Credit Party may sell participations to one
or more Persons (other than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its
Commitments, the Loans owing to it and the Note (if any) held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Credit Party’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such
Credit Party shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Credit Party shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Credit Party in connection with such Credit Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) no participant under any such
participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the
principal of, or interest on, the Borrowings or Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Borrowings
or Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. The Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 and 10.03 to the same extent
as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a
Lender, 

  

 - 56 - 

 
provided such participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.08(c) as though it were a Lender. A participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater
payment under Sections 3.05 and 3.07 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with the Borrower’s
prior written consent. 
 (h) Any Credit Party may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment
or participation pursuant to this Section 10.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Credit Party by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided,
however, that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential Information received by it from such Credit Party in accordance
with Section 10.12 to the same extent as if it were a Credit Party. 
 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations under the
Loan Documents or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 Section 10.05 Survival 
 All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or 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 any Loan Document and the making of any Revolving
Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended
hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Revolving Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under the Loan Documents is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments
have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 and 10.03 and Article 9 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the
Revolving Loans and the termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 Section 10.06
Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness 
 This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to any Credit Party
constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and 

  

 - 57 - 

 
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.01, 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 this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of
this Agreement. 
 Section 10.07 Severability 
 In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other
jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions. 
 Section 10.08 Right of Setoff 
 If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and
from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by it 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 it, irrespective of whether or not it shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although
such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that it may have. 
 Section 10.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process 
 (a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles
of conflict of laws. 
 (b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the
nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by applicable 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 

  

 - 58 - 

 
provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party may otherwise have to bring any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the Borrower, or any of its property, in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection
that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents 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 applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
 (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01.
Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 
 Section 10.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL 
 EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (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 10.11 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 10.12 Confidentiality 
 Each
of the Credit Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below) and not to use Information in violation of law, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers,
employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed 

  

 - 59 - 

 
to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required by any regulatory authority, (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 connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the
enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement, provided that each such Person agrees to maintain the confidentiality of such information on the terms set forth in this Section, (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 any Credit Party on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower and without breach of this Agreement;
provided, however, that, unless prohibited by applicable law, a Credit Party will provide prior notice to the Borrower of the Credit Party’s intention to disclose Information pursuant to clause (c) above or to disclose
Information pursuant to clause (e) above in connection with any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information
received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, including, without limitation, information received from Borrower pursuant to Section 6.01(f), 6.02 and 6.06 of this Agreement, other than any such information that is
available to any Credit Party on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower. 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 10.13 Interest Rate Limitation 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Revolving Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Revolving 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 Revolving Loan in accordance with
applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Revolving Loan hereunder, together with all of the charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the maximum rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and the charges that
would have been payable in respect of such Revolving Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated, and the interest and the charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Revolving 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 Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. 
 Section 10.14 No Third Parties Benefited 
 This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal
beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect 

  

 - 60 - 

 
cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have
any obligation to any Person not a party to this Agreement or other Loan Documents. 
 Section 10.15 USA Patriot Act Notice

 Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act
(Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the
Borrower and other information that will allow the Administrative Agent and such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. 
 Section 10.16 Termination of Credit Facilities 
 (a) The Borrower and each Lender that
is party to any bilateral credit agreement, loan agreement, line of credit or similar credit facility agrees that each such credit agreement, loan agreement, line of credit or similar credit facility shall irrevocably terminate on the Effective
Date. 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the applicable Lender (i) on the Effective Date all principal and interest
which is then outstanding under any credit facility described in clause (a) and (ii) promptly after receiving an invoice therefor, any unpaid fees due under any credit facility described in clause (a).

 FORM OF OPINION LETTER 
 [GOODSILL ANDERSON QUINN & STIFEL LLP LETTERHEAD] 

April __, 2006 
  

			
	 The Bank of New York, as Administrative Agent,
and the Lenders referred to in the
Credit Agreement (as defined below)
	  	
	 One Wall Street
 New York, New York 10286
	  	

  

	 	Re:	Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. 

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 We have acted as counsel to Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc., a Hawaii corporation (the
“Borrower”), and have represented Borrower in connection with the Credit Agreement dated as of March 31, 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto, Bank of Hawaii and First Hawaiian Bank, as
Co-Syndication Agents, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., U. S. Bank National Association, and Union Bank of California, N.A., as Co-Documentation Agents, and The Bank of New York, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”). Capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings given such terms in the Credit Agreement. This opinion is rendered to you pursuant to Section 5.01(c) of the Credit Agreement. 
 In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or copies of the following documents: 
 (i) the Credit Agreement; 
 (ii) the Notes;

 (iii) the Amended Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Borrower’s Charter”) of the Borrower, as filed with the
Director of Commerce and Consumer Affairs for the State of Hawaii; 
 (iv) the By-Laws of the Borrower (the “Borrower’s
By-Laws”; and, together with the Borrower’s Charter, the “Governing Documents”); and 
 (v) the Certificate of the
Secretary of the Borrower, as of the date hereof (the “Secretary’s Certificate”), as to certain actions taken by the Board of Directors of the Borrower 

 
on March 14, 2006 and March 27, 2006, as to the titles, incumbency, and specimen signatures of certain officers of the Borrower and attaching a
Certificate of Good Standing issued by the Director of the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs of the State of Hawaii. 
 The
documents specified in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Loan Documents.” In rendering this opinion, we have obtained such certificates and other information from public and government
officials and from officers and employees of the Borrower, and have also examined such documents and corporate and other records as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. 
 Based on the foregoing and subject to the other qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein and as limited thereby, and after examination
of such matters of law as we have deemed relevant, we are of the opinion that: 
 1. The Borrower has been duly incorporated under the laws
of the Kingdom of Hawaii and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Hawaii. To our knowledge, the Borrower does not itself conduct any business or own or lease any property in any jurisdiction outside
the State of Hawaii that would require it to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation and where the failure to be so qualified would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the
Borrower. 
 2. The Borrower has the corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted. 
 3. The execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Loan Documents, and the performance by the Borrower of its obligations under the Loan Documents, are
within the Borrower’s corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Borrower. The Borrower has duly executed and delivered each of the Loan Documents. 
 4. Each of the Loan Documents constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its
respective terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights, by general equitable principles (regardless of whether considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law), and by an implied covenant of reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing. 
 5. To our knowledge, the
execution and delivery by the Borrower of each of the Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and compliance by the Borrower with the provisions thereof (i) will not conflict with or result in a breach or
default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under any of the provisions of the Borrower’s Governing Documents or any other material agreement binding upon the Borrower of which we have knowledge, except for
such conflict, breach or default as to which requisite waivers or consents have been obtained, (ii) will not violate any law, statute, rule or regulation known to us, or any judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree of 

 
any court or other tribunal, applicable to the Borrower or any of its properties or assets, and (iii) will not result in the creation or imposition of
any Lien on any asset of the Borrower (except as provided in Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement). No consent or approval by, or any notification of or filing with, any court, public body or authority is required to be obtained or effected by
the Borrower in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of its obligations under each of the Loan Documents or the consummation by the Borrower of the transactions contemplated thereby, except for the requisite
approval of the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Hawaii referred to in Section 2.05 of the Credit Agreement in order to extend the term of the Credit Agreement to more than 364 days. 
 6. To our knowledge, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, the Borrower or any of its assets before any court or arbitrator or any
governmental body, agency or official, which, in the event of an adverse decision, which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Borrower, except for any actions, suits or
proceedings referred to in the Current SEC Reports, or which in any manner draws into question the validity of the Loan Documents. 
 7. The
Borrower is not an “investment company” nor is it controlled by an “investment company”, in each case within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 The foregoing opinions are subject to the following qualifications: 
 (a) We are members of the Bar of the State of Hawaii and we do not hold ourselves out as experts on the laws of any jurisdiction other
than the State of Hawaii and the federal laws of the United States. This opinion is limited in all respects to matters governed by the laws of the State of Hawaii and the federal laws of the United States of America. We express no opinion concerning
compliance with the laws or regulations of any other jurisdiction or jurisdictions, or as to the validity, meaning or effect of any act or document under the laws of any other jurisdiction or jurisdictions. Our opinion with regard to the validity,
binding nature and enforceability of each of the Loan Documents is based upon the assumptions that the laws of the State of New York govern the Loan Documents and that the laws of the State of Hawaii are the same in all relevant respects as the laws
of the State of New York, and we give no opinion with respect to the enforceability of the Loan Documents to the extent that the laws of the State of New York differ from the laws of the State of Hawaii. 
 (b) We have relied as to matters of fact upon representations and warranties of the Borrower in the Loan Documents and upon certificates
and representations of officers and employees of the Borrower and upon certificates of public and government officials as to matters set forth therein. Our opinion in paragraph 1 as to the good standing of the Borrower is based solely on the
Certificate of Good Standing of the Borrower attached to the Secretary’s Certificate. 
 (c) We have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures (other than the signatures of the officers of the Borrower), the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or
photostatic copies (and the authenticity of the originals of such documents), the accuracy and completeness 

 
of all corporate records (which includes stock ownership records) made available to us by Borrower and the capacity of each party executing a document (other
than Borrower) to so execute such document. 
 (d) Our opinion is subject to the qualification that enforcement of any waiver
and release or limitation of liability provisions in any of the Loan Documents may be limited to the extent such provisions are contrary to public policy or principles of equity under Hawaii jurisprudence, but such policy and equitable limitations
do not, in our opinion, render the Loan Documents invalid as a whole or preclude the judicial enforcement of the obligation of the Borrower to repay the principal, together with interest thereon (to the extent not deemed a penalty) as provided in
the Loan Documents. 
 (e) The remedies of specific performance, injunction and other forms of equitable relief may not be
available as to the provisions contained in any of the Loan Documents to the extent they are subject to equitable defenses and the discretion of the court before which the proceedings therefor may be brought. 
 (f) We express no opinion as to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any provision of any of the Loan Documents
(i) which requires further agreement by the parties or expressly or impliedly permits any party to take discretionary action which is arbitrary, unreasonable or capricious, or would violate any implied covenant of good faith or would be
commercially unreasonable, whether or not such action is permitted according to the specific terms of any of the Loan Documents, or (ii) regarding remedies available to any party for violations or breaches which are determined by a court to be
nonmaterial or without substantial adverse effect upon the ability of the obligor to perform its material obligations thereunder. 
 (g) Our opinion is subject to the qualification that any requirement in any of the Loan Documents specifying that provisions thereof may only be waived in writing may not be binding or enforceable to the extent that a non-executory oral
agreement has been created modifying any provision in the Loan Documents or an implied agreement by trade practice or course of conduct has been created allowing a waiver. 
 (h) We express no opinion as to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of provisions specifying certain remedies or that rights or
remedies are not exclusive, that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to any other right or remedy, and/or that the election of a particular remedy does not preclude recourse to one or more others. 
 (i) Our opinion is subject to (i) limitations on the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of provisions which a court
may find unconscionable, and (ii) limitations on the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of agreements to indemnify, defend or hold harmless when the event giving rise to the obligations thereunder are caused, in whole or in
part, by the actions, omissions, or negligence of the indemnitee thereunder or when the enforcement of any such agreements is against public policy. 
 (j) Whenever an opinion expressed herein is qualified by the phrase “to our knowledge,” “known to us,” or “nothing has come to our attention” or other phrase of similar 

 
import, such phrase is intended to mean the actual knowledge of information by the lawyers in our firm who have been principally involved in drafting the
Loan Documents, but does not include other information that might be revealed if there were to be undertaken a canvass of all lawyers in our firm, a general search of all files or any other type of independent investigation. With respect to the
opinions expressed in paragraph 6 of this letter, our opinion is limited to litigation and proceedings pending against Borrower with respect to which our firm has been consulted and has devoted substantive attention. 
 This opinion is based on the laws and regulations as in effect on the date hereof and facts as we understand them as of the date hereof.
We are not assuming any obligation, and do not undertake, to revise, update or supplement this opinion after the date hereof notwithstanding any change in applicable law or regulation or interpretation thereof, any amendment, supplement,
modification or rescission of any document examined or relied on in connection herewith, or any change in the facts, after the date hereof. 
 This opinion is rendered in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement solely for your benefit and is not to be relied upon, quoted, circulated, used or otherwise referred to for any other
purpose, nor may it be relied upon by any other person, without our prior written consent, except that you may furnish this opinion to any regulatory authority or as otherwise required by law. 
 Very truly yours,

 For value received, the undersigned, HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY, INC., a Hawaii corporation (the
“Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of                      (the “Lender”), at
the office of the Administrative Agent (hereinafter defined) located at One Wall Street, New York, New York 10286 or at such other place as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing from time to time, the principal sum of
                     DOLLARS ($            ) or, if less, the
outstanding principal balance of all Revolving Loans made by the Lender to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement (hereinafter defined), in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, on the date(s) and in
the manner provided in the Credit Agreement. The Borrower also promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof for the period such balance is outstanding, and all other amounts due under this Note, at said office of the
Administrative Agent, in like money, at the rates of interest as provided in the Credit Agreement, on the date(s) and in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement. 
 The date and amount of each type of Revolving Loan made by the Lender to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, and each payment of principal thereof, shall be recorded by the Lender on its books and endorsed by the
Lender on Schedule I attached hereto or any continuation thereof; and in the absence of manifest error, such schedule shall constitute prima facie evidence thereof. No failure on the part of the Lender to make, or mistake by the Lender in
making, any notation as provided in this paragraph shall in any way affect any Revolving Loan or the rights or obligations of the Lender or the Borrower with respect thereto. 
 This Note evidences the Revolving Loan(s) made by the Lender and referred to in the Credit Agreement dated as of the date of this Note (as amended,
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Borrower, the Lenders from time to time party thereto and The Bank of New York, as Administrative Agent (the
“Administrative Agent”) and is subject to and shall be construed in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement and is entitled to the benefits and security set forth in the Loan Documents. All capitalized terms
not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement. 

 The Borrower shall be entitled to borrow, repay, prepay in whole or in part and reborrow the Revolving

 The Borrower promises to pay, on demand, interest at the
default rate pursuant to Section 3.01(c) of the Credit Agreement, from the expiration of any applicable grace period, on any overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest. The Credit Agreement also provides
for the acceleration of the maturity of principal upon the occurrence of certain Events of Default and for prepayments on the terms and conditions specified in the Credit Agreement. 
 The Borrower waives diligence, presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest and any other demands and notices in connection with the delivery,
acceptance, performance and enforcement of this Note, except to the extent that notice is specifically required under the Credit Agreement. The nonexercise by the holder of this Note of any of its rights hereunder in any particular instance shall
not constitute a waiver thereof in that or any subsequent instance. 
 This Note shall be governed by, and interpreted and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. 
 THE BORROWER 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, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).
THE BORROWER CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY CREDIT PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH CREDIT PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER.
