Termination Date in such Tranche B Lender’s Tranche B Commitment Percentage of such aggregate amounts, as the Parent may from time to time request, provided, however, that after giving effect to the requested Loan the aggregate principal amount
of all Loans shall not exceed the Loan Sublimit, (b) each Issuing Bank agrees to issue, extend and renew for the account of Mont Re one or more standby letters of credit (a “Tranche B Letter of Credit”) from time to time before the
Tranche B Commitment Termination Date and (c) as more fully set forth in §2.2 each Tranche B Lender agrees to purchase a participation in each such Tranche B Letter of Credit, provided however, that after giving effect to any Credit Extension
pursuant to this §2.1.2, (i) the sum of the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Total Commitment, (ii) the sum of the Tranche B Outstanding Amount shall not exceed the Total Tranche B Commitment and (iii) the Total Outstandings shall not
exceed the Collateral Coverage Amount. The Borrowers, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agree that the Existing Letters of Credit listed on Schedule 2.1.2 shall be Tranche B Letters of Credit hereunder. 
  
 2.1.3 Increase to Total Commitment. At any time, Mont Re may request
that the Total Commitment and its components be increased, provided that, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, (i) the Total Commitment shall at no time exceed $500,000,000 and the Loan Sublimit shall at no time exceed
$50,000,000 and (ii) each such request shall be in a minimum amount of at least $1,000,000. Any increase in the Total Commitment may be allocated to the Total Tranche A Commitment, the Total Tranche B Commitment or both in such amounts as Mont
Re may request. Such request shall be made in a written notice given to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by Mont Re not fewer than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of such increase, which notice (a
“Commitment Increase Notice”) shall specify the amount of the proposed increase in the Total Commitment, the amount of such increase which is to be allocated to the Total Tranche A Commitment and/or the Total Tranche B Commitment
and the proposed effective date of such increase. In the event of such a Commitment Increase Notice, each of the Tranche A Lenders and/or Tranche B Lenders, as applicable, shall be given the opportunity to participate in the requested increase
ratably in proportion that its Tranche A Commitment bears to the Total Tranche A Commitment and/or its Tranche B Commitment bears to the Total Tranche B Commitment under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement, respectively. No Lender shall have any
obligation to increase its Commitment pursuant to a Commitment Increase Notice. On or prior to a date that is ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Commitment Increase Notice, each Lender shall submit to the Administrative Agent a notice
indicating the maximum amount, if any, by which it is willing to increase its Tranche A Commitment and/or Tranche B Commitment, as applicable, in connection with such Commitment Increase Notice (any such notice to the Administrative Agent being
herein a “Lender Increase Notice”). Any Lender which does not submit a Lender Increase 
  

 18 

 Notice to the Administrative Agent prior to the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to have
denied any increase in its Commitment. In the event that the increases of Commitments set forth in the Lender Increase Notices exceed the amount requested by Mont Re in the Commitment Increase Notice, the Administrative Agent shall have the right,
in consultation with Mont Re, to allocate the amount of increases necessary to meet Mont Re’s Commitment Increase Notice; provided that, no Lender shall be allocated an amount less than its pro rata share of such increase based upon the
proportion its Tranche A Commitments bear to the Total Tranche A Commitment and/or Tranche B Commitments bear to the Total Tranche B Commitment, as applicable, under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement. In the event that the Lender Increase
Notices are less than the amount requested by Mont Re, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed effective date Mont Re may notify the Administrative Agent of any Eligible Assignee that shall have agreed to become a
“Lender” party hereto (an “Acceding Bank”) in connection with the Commitment Increase Notice. If Mont Re shall not have arranged any Acceding Bank(s) to commit to the shortfall from the Lender Increase Notices, then Mont
Re shall be deemed to have reduced the amount of its Commitment Increase Notice to the aggregate amount set forth in the Lender Increase Notices. Based upon the Lender Increase Notices, any allocations made in connection therewith and any notice
regarding any Acceding Bank, if applicable, the Administrative Agent shall notify Mont Re and the Lenders on or before the Business Day immediately prior to the proposed effective date of the amount of each Bank’s and Acceding Bank’s
Commitment (the “Effective Commitment Amount”) and the increased amount of the Total Commitment and the Total Tranche A Commitment and/or Total Tranche B Commitment, as applicable, which amounts shall be effective on the following
Business Day subject to the conditions set forth herein. Any increase in the Total Commitment and any increase in the Total Tranche A Commitment and/or Total Tranche B Commitment, as applicable, under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement shall be
subject to the following conditions precedent: (i) as of the date of the Commitment Increase Notice and as of the proposed effective date of the increase in the Total Commitment under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement, all representations and
warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as though made on such date (unless such representation and warranty is made as of a specific date, in which case, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct as of such
date) and no event shall have occurred and then be continuing which constitutes a Default or Event of Default under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement; (ii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Acceding Bank which shall have agreed
to provide a “Commitment” in support of such increase in the Total Commitment under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement, shall have executed and delivered an “Instrument of Accession” in a form reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent; (iii) to the extent reasonably required by the Administrative Agent, counsel for the Borrowers shall have provided to the Administrative Agent a supplemental opinion in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent; (iv) the Acceding Bank(s) shall otherwise have executed and delivered such other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested in connection with such increase and (v) the Borrowers shall
have executed and delivered all corporate authority documents that the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested in connection with such increase. Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to any increase in the Total Commitment and
the Total Tranche A Commitment and/or Total Tranche B Commitment, as applicable, under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Borrowers and each Lender of the effective date 
  

 19 

 of such increase. Upon the effective date of any increase the Total Commitment and the Total Tranche A Commitment and/or
Total Tranche B Commitment, as applicable, under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement that is supported by an Acceding Bank, such Acceding Bank shall be a party to this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement as a Tranche A Lender and/or Tranche B
Lender, as applicable, and shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and, on the effective date of such increase if the Acceding Bank will be a Tranche B Lender the Acceding Bank shall purchase Tranche B Loans from each other
Tranche B Lender, in such amounts as may be necessary so that each Tranche B Lender (including the Acceding Bank) has its Tranche B Commitment Percentage of the outstanding Loans. In addition, on the effective date, the Administrative Agent shall
replace the existing Schedule 1 attached hereto with the revised Schedule 1 reflecting such new Total Commitment, Total Tranche A Commitment and Total Tranche B Commitment and each Lender’s Commitment. Nothing contained herein
shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Commitment hereunder. It is understood that any increase in the amount of the Commitments pursuant to this §2.1.3 shall not constitute an
amendment of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement. 
  
 2.1.4
Voluntary Commitment Reductions. Mont Re shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon three (3) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent to reduce by a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and in multiples of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof, or to terminate entirely, the Total Commitment and, as applicable the Tranche A Commitment and/or the Tranche B Commitment, whereupon the Commitments of the Tranche A Lenders and/or the Tranche B Lenders, as the case
may be, shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages of the amount specified in such notice or, terminated as the case may be provided that (a) the Total Tranche A Commitment may not be reduced to an amount
below the Tranche A Outstanding Amount, (b) the Total Tranche B Commitment may not be reduced to an amount below the Tranche B Outstanding Amount and (c) the Total Commitment may not be reduced to an amount below the Total Outstanding. Promptly
after receiving any notice of Mont Re delivered pursuant to this §2.1.4, the Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of the substance thereof. No reduction or termination of the Commitments may be reinstated. 
  
 2.1.5 Extension of Commitment Termination Date; Replacement Lender.
Mont Re may request an extension of the Tranche A Commitment Termination Date for an additional three-hundred sixty-four (364) day period and/or the Tranche B Commitment Termination Date for an additional year (the “Extension”). Mont Re
must request the Extension in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders not less than sixty (60) nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the applicable Commitment Termination Date. Each Lender may decide, in its sole discretion, whether to
participate in the Extension and shall notify the Administrative Agent and Mont Re in writing of its decision within thirty (30) days after receipt of Mont Re’s request, provided that no Lender shall give formal notification of its approval of
the Extension more than sixty (60) days prior to the Commitment Maturity Date. Any Lender not responding to a request for an Extension within thirty (30) days after receipt of Mont Re’s request shall be deemed to have not consented to the
Extension. If a Lender does not approve the Extension by such date, Mont Re may, up until the fifteenth (15th) day prior to the applicable Commitment Termination Date, (i) request that all or a portion of the remaining Lenders acquire and assume all
of the non-approving Lender’s Commitment as provided herein, but none of such Lenders shall be under an 
  

 20 

 obligation to do so, (ii) designate a new Lender (a “Replacement Lender”) which is an Eligible Assignee,
and/or (iii) with the approval of the Administrative Agent and each of the remaining Lenders, reduce the Tranche A Commitment or the Tranche B Commitment, as the case may be, and, correspondingly, the Total Commitment, by the amount of the
non-approving Lender’s pro rata share. If any Replacement Lender shall be obtained, and/or if any one or more of the existing Lenders shall agree to acquire and assume all or any portion of the non-approving Lender’s Commitment, then such
non-approving Lender shall assign, in accordance with §13, all of its Commitment, Letter of Credit Participations and other rights and obligations under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement and all other Loan Documents to such Replacement
Lender or existing Lenders, as the case may be; provided, however, that (A) such assignment shall be without recourse, representation or warranty and shall be on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to such non-approving Lender and such
Replacement Lender and/or existing Lenders, as the case may be, and (B) prior to any such assignment, the Borrowers shall have paid to such non-approving Lender all amounts properly demanded and unreimbursed. If all of the then Lenders have agreed
to the Extension on or before the fifteenth (15th) day prior to the applicable Commitment Termination Date, then the Extension shall take effect. 
  
 2.2 Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit. 
  
 2.2.1 Issuance Procedures. (a) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request
of Mont Re delivered to an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) by hard copy or electronically in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Mont Re. Such Letter of
Credit Application must be received by an Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (i) not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be, of any Letter of Credit
denominated in Dollars, and (ii) not later than 11:00 a.m. at least four Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be, of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency; or in each case such
earlier date and time as the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall
specify in form and detail satisfactory to such Issuing Bank: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and
address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) whether such
Letter of Credit is a Tranche A Letter of Credit or a Tranche B Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as such Issuing Bank may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit
Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to such Issuing Bank (w) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (x) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (y) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (z) such
other matters as such Issuing Bank may require. Additionally, Mont Re shall furnish to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment as the
Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent may require. 
  

 21 

 (b) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Issuing Bank will confirm
with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from Mont Re and, if not, such Issuing Bank will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.
Unless such Issuing Bank has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or Mont Re, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable
conditions contained in §10 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of Mont Re or enter into the applicable
amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices. 
  
 (c) If Mont Re so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to
issue a Letter of Credit (other than a Letter of Credit issued to Lloyd’s) that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit
such Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the
“Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by such Issuing Bank, Mont Re shall not be required to make a specific request to
the Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to
an expiry date not later than one year after the applicable Commitment Termination Date; provided, however, that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if (A) such Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be
permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of §2.2.2 or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by
telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or Mont Re that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in §10 is not then
satisfied, and in each such case directing the Issuing Bank not to permit such extension. 
  
 (d) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, such Issuing Bank will also deliver to Mont Re and
the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 
  
 2.2.2 Terms of Letters of Credit. (a) Each Letter of Credit issued, extended or renewed hereunder shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight drafts for honor thereunder when
presented in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein, and (ii) (A) with respect of Tranche A Letters of Credit issued to Lloyd’s, be issued in Pounds Sterling and have an expiry date no later
than the date which is four (4) years from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, (B) with respect to all other Tranche A Letters of Credit, be issued in Dollars and have an expiry date no later than the date which is one (1) year from the
date of issuance of such Tranche A Letter of Credit, and (C) 
  

 22 

 with respect to all Tranche B Letters of Credit, be issued in Dollars or Canadian Dollars and have an expiry date no
later than the date which is one (1) year from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Letter of Credit so issued, extended or renewed shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision),
International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500 or any successor version thereto adopted by the Issuing Banks in the ordinary course of its business as a letter of credit issuer and in effect at the time of issuance of such Letter of Credit
(the “Uniform Customs”) or the International Standby Practices (ISP98), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590, or any successor code of standby letter of credit practices among banks adopted by the Issuing Banks in
the ordinary course of its business as standby letter of credit issuers and in effect at the time of issuance of such Letter of Credit, in each case to the extent not inconsistent with (x) in the case of Letters of Credit issued to Lloyds, English
law and, in the case of all other Letters of Credit, New York law. Letters of Credit may be issued at any time prior to the applicable Commitment Termination Date. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Letter of Credit Application
and this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement, the terms of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement shall govern. Letters of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies, shall be issued in a minimum Alternative Currency Equivalent of $100,000 and all
Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars shall be issued in a minimum face amount of $1,000. 
  
 (b) An Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: 
  
 (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to
enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the
Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any
restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Amendment Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was
not applicable on the Amendment Effective Date and which the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; 
  
 (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any laws or one or more policies of such Issuing Bank; 
  
 (iii) a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund
under §2.2.6 exists or any Lender is at such time a Delinquent Lender hereunder, unless such Issuing Bank has entered into satisfactory arrangements with Mont Re or such Lender to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to such
Lender. 
  
 (c) An Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to
amend any Letter of Credit if (i) such Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (ii) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed
amendment to such Letter of Credit. 
  

 23 

 2.2.3 Reimbursement Obligations of Lenders. Each Tranche A Lender and each Tranche B Lender
severally agrees that it shall be absolutely liable, without regard to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or any other condition precedent whatsoever, to the extent of such Lender’s Tranche A Commitment Percentage or Tranche B
Commitment Percentage, as the case may be, to reimburse the Issuing Bank on demand for the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Bank under each Letter of Credit, required to be funded by it, to the extent that such amount is not reimbursed by
Mont Re pursuant to §2.2.5 (such agreement for a Lender being called herein the “Letter of Credit Participation” of such Lender). 
  
 2.2.4 Participations of Lenders. Each such payment made by a Lender shall be treated as the purchase by such Lender of a participating
interest in Mont Re’s Reimbursement Obligation under §2.2.5 in an amount equal to such payment. Each Lender shall share in accordance with its participating interest in any interest which accrues pursuant to §2.2.6. 
  
 2.2.5 Reimbursement Obligation of Mont Re. In order to induce
each Issuing Bank to issue, extend and renew each Letter of Credit and the Lenders to participate therein, Mont Re hereby agrees: 
  
 (a) to reimburse or pay to the applicable Issuing Bank, for the account of such Issuing Bank or (as the case may be) the applicable Lenders, with respect
to each Letter of Credit issued, extended or renewed by an Issuing Bank hereunder, on each date that any draft presented under such Letter of Credit is honored by an Issuing Bank, the Dollar Equivalent as of the date and for the amount paid by such
Issuing Bank under or with respect to such Letter of Credit, provided, that, the failure of Mont Re to immediately reimburse such Issuing Bank for amounts due pursuant to this §2.2.5(a) shall be an Event of Default and upon the
occurrence of such Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may issue a Notice of Exclusive Control and apply all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral towards the payment obligations described herein, and 
  
 (b) that the Administrative Agent may, upon the acceleration of the
Obligations in accordance with §11, exercise all rights and remedies in respect of the Pledged Collateral and any proceeds thereof, to collect an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the then outstanding Obligations. 
  
 Each payment contemplated by §2.2.5(a) shall be made to such Issuing Bank at such
Issuing Bank’s Office in immediately available funds. Interest on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by Mont Re under this §2.2.5 at any time from the date such amounts become due and payable (whether as stated in this §2.2.5, by
acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full (whether before or after judgment) shall be payable to the Administrative Agent on demand at the rate specified in 2.2.6. Any Pledged Collateral or proceeds thereof collected by the Administrative
Agent may be, at the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, converted into the applicable Alternative Currency, with any such conversion costs being considered a collection expense and added to the Obligations. All payments of Fees, interest
and Reimbursement Obligations to the Lenders shall be made in Dollars even if the underlying Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative Currency. 
  
 2.2.6 Letter of Credit Payments. (a) If any draft shall be presented or other demand for payment shall be made under any Letter of Credit,
the relevant Issuing Bank shall 
  

 24 

 notify Mont Re of the date and amount of the draft presented or demand for payment and of the date and time when it
expects to pay such draft or honor such demand for payment. If Mont Re fails to reimburse the Issuing Bank as provided in §2.2.5 or if the Administrative Agent is unable to effect such reimbursement through the application of the Pledged
Collateral, on the date that such draft is paid or other payment is made by such Issuing Bank, the Issuing Bank may at any time thereafter notify the Tranche A Lenders or the Tranche B Lenders, as the case may be, of the amount of any such Unpaid
Reimbursement Obligation. No later than 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day next following the receipt of such notice, each Tranche A Lender or Tranche B Lender, as the case may be, shall make available to the Issuing Bank, in Dollars, at the
Administrative Agent’s Office, in immediately available funds, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation. The responsibility of the Issuing Bank to Mont Re and the Lenders shall be only to determine that
the documents (including each draft) delivered under each Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in all material respects with such Letter of Credit. 
  
 (b) Each Lender’s obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated
by this §2.2.6, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Issuing Bank, Mont Re, the
Parent or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such payment by a Lender shall relieve or
otherwise impair the obligation of Mont Re to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
  
 (c) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this §2.2.6 by the time specified, the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the
Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the applicable
Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Issuing Bank submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (c) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

  
 (d) Repayment of Participations. 
  
 (i) At any time after the Issuing Bank has made a payment
under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s payment in accordance with §2.2.6(a), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the Issuing Bank any payment in respect of the related Unpaid
Reimbursement Obligation or interest thereon (whether directly from Mont Re or otherwise, including proceeds of Pledged Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its applicable
percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time such Lender’s payment was outstanding) in Dollars and in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. 
  

 25 

 (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing
Bank is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in §3.1.3 or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Issuing Bank in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Issuing Bank its applicable percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable
Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. 
  
 2.2.7
Obligations Absolute. (a) Mont Re’s obligations under this §2.2 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or any condition precedent
whatsoever or any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which Mont Re may have or have had against an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit. Mont Re further agrees with the Issuing Banks
and the Lenders that the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall not be responsible for, and the Mont Re’s Reimbursement Obligations under §2.2.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or
of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among Mont Re, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any financing institution or
other party to which any Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of Mont Re against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall not be liable for any error,
omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit. Mont Re agrees that any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Bank or any Lender under or
in connection with each Letter of Credit and the related drafts and documents, if done in good faith and in the absence of gross negligence and willful misconduct, shall be binding upon Mont Re and shall not result in any liability on the part of an
Issuing Bank or any Lender to Mont Re. 
  
 2.3 Reliance by
Issuing Bank. To the extent not inconsistent with §2.2.6, the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any Letter of Credit, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate,
affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and
statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Issuing Banks. Each Issuing Bank shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement unless it shall
first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred
by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Issuing Banks shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement in accordance with a request of the
Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders and all future holders of a Letter of Credit Participation. 
  

 26 

 2.4 Borrowings and Payments of Loans. 
  
 (a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one type to the other, and
each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the Parent’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00
a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Parent pursuant to this §2.4(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer
of the Parent. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be
in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Parent is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one type to the other,
or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv)
the type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Parent fails to specify a type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Parent fails
to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period
then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the Parent requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be
deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. 
  
 (b)
Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Tranche B Lender of the amount of its Tranche B Commitment Percentage of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is
provided by the Parent, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Tranche B Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans. In the case of a Borrowing, each Tranche B Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the
Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than 1:00 p.m., in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable
conditions set forth in §10, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Parent in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Parent on the books of Bank of
America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Parent. 
  
 (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be
continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans. 
  

 27 

 (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent and the Tranche B Lenders of the interest
rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time
that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent and the Tranche B Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such
change. 
  
 (e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all
conversions of Loans from one type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same type, there shall not be more than five Interest Periods in effect with respect to Loans. 
  
 2.5 Payments. (a) The Parent may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time
voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency
Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate
Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment
and the type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurocurrency Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Tranche B Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount
of such Lender’s Tranche B Commitment Percentage of such prepayment. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to
§3. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the Tranche B Lenders in accordance with their respective Tranche B Commitment Percentage. 
  
 2.6 Repayment of Loans. The Parent shall repay to the Lenders on the Tranche B Commitment Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of Loans
outstanding on such date. 
  
 2.7 Fees; Interest.

  
 2.7.1 Commitment Fees. Mont Re agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the accounts of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to .075% per annum times the actual daily amount by which the Total
Tranche A Commitment exceeds the Tranche A Outstanding Amount and (b) 0.10% per annum times the actual daily amount by which the Total Tranche B Commitment exceeds the Tranche B Outstanding Amount. The Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times from
the Amendment Effective Date through the Commitment Termination Date for the relevant tranche, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in §10 is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last
business day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Amendment Effective Date, with a final payment (a) to the Tranche A Lenders on the Tranche A Commitment Termination Date and (b) to the
Tranche B Lenders on the date on the Tranche B Commitment Termination Date. 
  

 28 

 2.7.2 Letter of Credit Fee. Mont Re agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
accounts of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages a Letter of Credit Fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) calculated based on the face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit at a rate equal to (a)
with respect to the Tranche A Letters of Credit issued to Lloyds, thirty-two and one-half one-hundredths of one percent (.325%) per annum and (b) with respect to all other Tranche A Letters of Credit and all Tranche B Letters of Credit, twenty-seven
and one-half one hundredths of one percent (.275%) per annum, in each case times the Dollar Equivalent of the actual daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Letter of Credit Fee shall be (i) computed on a quarterly
basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Amendment Effective Date, on the applicable Commitment Termination Date and
thereafter on demand. Mont Re shall also pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, such Issuing Bank’s customary or scheduled costs of issuance and usual and customary costs of, amendment, negotiation or document examination with respect
to the Letters of Credit and such other amount as may be set forth in the applicable Fee Letter. 
  
 2.7.3 Fees Payable Pursuant to the Fee Letter. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, and the Arrangers the fees set forth in the
Fee Letters. 
  
 2.7.4 Fees Under Existing Agreement. All
outstanding Fees (as defined in the Existing Agreement) and other amounts due Fleet under the Existing Agreement shall be paid in full on the Amendment Effective Date. 
  
 2.7.5 Interest. (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate and; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate, if any. 
  
 (b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise, or any Reimbursement Obligation is not paid when due, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
laws. 
  
 (ii) If any amount (other than
principal of any Loan or a Reimbursement Obligation) payable by the Borrowers under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the
request of the Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws. 
  

 29 

 (iii) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, (A)
the Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Loans and Reimbursement Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
laws and (B) the Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate. 
  
 (iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 
  
 (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such
other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding referred to in §11.1(m). 
  
 (d) Interest on Reimbursement Obligations shall be payable upon the date of
repayment and upon demand. 
  
 2.7.6 Computation of Interest
and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Administrative Agent’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days
elapsed. All other computations of Fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest
shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made
shall bear interest for one day. 
  
 3. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.

  
 3.1 Payments. 
  
 3.1.1 Payments Generally. (a) All payments to be made by the
Borrowers under any Loan Document shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or set-off. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. 
  
 (b) If any payment to be made by a Borrower shall come due on a day other
than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 
  
 (c) Unless a Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be
made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that such Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such
payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make 
  

 30 

 available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact
made to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds, then: 
  
 (i) if a Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in Same Day Funds,
together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the
applicable Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and 
  
 (ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date
such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to a Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Rate
from time to time in effect. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then, in the case of payment with respect to a Loan, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender
does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the applicable Borrower, and such Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together
with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to
prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 
  
 A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (c) shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error. 
  
 (d) If any Lender makes available to the
Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender to any Borrower as provided in the foregoing provisions of this §3.1.1, and such funds are not made available to such Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions
to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in §10 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

  
 (e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and
to fund Letter of Credit Participations are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such Letter of Credit Participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding
obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its Letter of Credit Participation. 
  
 (f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan or Letter of Credit Participation
in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 
  

 31 

 3.1.2 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall
obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the Letter of Credit Participation held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share
contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in the Letter of
Credit Participations held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such Letter of Credit Participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of
them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in §3.1.3 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the
purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable
share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in
respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment
(including the right of set-off, but subject to §15.2) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records
(which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation
pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations
purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. 
  
 3.1.3 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower (including payments from the Pledged Collateral) is made
to the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other
party, in connection with any proceeding under any insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and
continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, upon demand its applicable
share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable
Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment. 
  

 32 

 3.2 Taxes, etc. All payments by the Borrowers hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction
or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless such Borrower is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation is imposed upon such Borrower with respect to any amount payable by it
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, such Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder or
under such other Loan Document, such additional amount in Dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to receive the same net amount which the Lenders or the Administrative Agent would have received on such due
date had no such obligation been imposed upon such Borrower. Such Borrower will deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by
such Borrower hereunder or under such other Loan Document. 
  
 3.3
Additional Costs, etc. If any introduction of, or change in or in the interpretation of any applicable law (which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations thereof by any
competent court or by any governmental or other regulatory body or official charged with the administration or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time or from time to time hereafter made upon or
otherwise issued to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law)), shall: 
  
 (a) subject any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to any
tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement, the other Loan Documents, Loans or such Lender’s Commitment (other than taxes based upon or measured by the
income or profits of such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent and taxes covered by § 3.2), or 
  
 (b) materially change the basis of taxation (except for changes in taxes on income or profits) of payments to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the
Administrative Agent of the fees or interest in respect of the Letters of Credit, Loans or any other amounts payable to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, or 
  
 (c) impose or increase or render applicable
(other than to the extent specifically provided for elsewhere in this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement) any special deposit, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law)
against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or letters of credit issued by, or commitments of an office of any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, or 
  

 33 

 (d) impose on any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent any other conditions or
requirements with respect to this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any Letters of Credit, any Loans, such Lender’s Commitment, or any loans, letters of credit or commitments of which such Lender’s Commitment
forms a part, and the result of any of the foregoing is 
  
 (i) to increase the cost to any Lender of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining such Lender’s Commitment or any Loan or Letter of Credit, or 
  
 (ii) to reduce the amount of interest, Reimbursement
Obligation or other amount payable to such Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder on account of such Lender’s Commitment or any Loan or Letter of Credit, or 
  
 (iii) to require such Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to make any payment or to forego
any interest or principal or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or principal or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum
receivable or deemed received by such Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers hereunder, 
  
 then, and in each such case, each Borrower will, upon demand made by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) at any time and from
time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent such additional amounts as will be sufficient to compensate such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent
for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or Reimbursement Obligation or other sum, provided, that the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts which were incurred by any of the Lenders,
such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent more than forty-five (45) days prior to the date on which such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, had knowledge of such additional amounts. The Lender, such
Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent shall present a certificate setting forth a reasonable calculation of the amount of such increased costs as per §3.6 hereof. 
  
 3.4 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time,
the Parent shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 
  
 (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period
for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or 
  
 (b) any failure by any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other
than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Parent; 
  
 (c) any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Parent pursuant to §3.7 or pursuant to §2.1.3; 
  

 34 

 including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds
obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract. The Parent shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by
such Lender in connection with the foregoing. 
  
 For purposes of calculating
amounts payable by the Parent to the Lenders under this §3.4, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore
interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so funded. 
  
 3.5 Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof any Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent determines that (a) the adoption of or
change in any law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) regarding capital requirements for bank holding companies or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by a
Governmental Authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or (b) compliance by such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent or any corporation controlling such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent with any law, governmental rule,
regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such entity regarding capital adequacy, has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s, Issuing Bank’s or the Administrative Agent’s
commitment with respect to any Loan or Reimbursement Obligations to a level below that which such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such
Lender’s, Issuing Bank’s or the Administrative Agent’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender, Issuing Bank or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) to be material, then such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent may notify the Borrowers of such fact. Each Borrower agrees to pay such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the
case may be) for the amount of such reduction in the return on capital as and when such reduction is determined upon presentation by such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of a certificate in accordance with
§3.6 hereof; provided, that the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts which were incurred by any of the Lenders, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent more than forty-five (45) days prior to the date on
which such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, had knowledge of such additional amounts. Each Lender shall allocate such cost increases among its customers in good faith and on an equitable basis. 
  
 3.6 Certificate. A certificate setting forth any additional
amounts payable pursuant to §§3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 and a brief explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, that such
amounts are due and owing. 
  
 3.7 Change of Location of
Lending Office; Replacement of Lender. If a Borrower shall, as a result of the requirements of §§3.3, 3.4 or 3.5, be required to pay any Lender the additional costs referred to in such Sections and such Borrower, in its reasonable
discretion, shall deem such additional amounts to be material, such Borrower shall have the right to (a) request in 
  

 35 

 writing to such Lender which has certified additional costs to such Borrower, with copy to the Administrative Agent, that
such Lender change the location of its lending office in order to mitigate such additional costs and (b) if (i) such Lender does not change the location of its lending office within sixty (60) days of receipt of such request, or (ii) such Borrower
determines, in its reasonable discretion, after such change in the location of such lending office that any remaining additional costs are still material, substitute another Lender who is an Eligible Assignee for such Lender which has certified the
additional costs to such Borrower. Any such substitution shall take place in accordance with §13.2 and shall otherwise be on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and until such time as such substitution
shall be consummated, such Borrower shall continue to pay such additional costs. Upon any such substitution, such Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Lender that is being replaced all amounts properly demanded and unreimbursed and such
Lender will be released from liability hereunder. 
  
 4. COLLATERAL
SECURITY. 
  
 4.1 Security of Mont Re. The
Obligations shall be secured by a perfected first priority security interest (subject only to (i) liens arising by operation of law, so long as the aggregate obligations secured thereby do not exceed $1,000,000 and (ii) the Custodial Lien and
Set-Off Rights) in the following: (a) the Securities Account and all property held therein or any replacement or successor account and/or any and all substitutions, additions and accessions thereto, which shall include, but not be limited to, cash,
investment property, securities, security entitlements, securities accounts and any and all financial assets credited to and held in the Securities Account or any replacement or successor account, including, without limitation, the property
described on Schedule 4.1 attached hereto and made a part hereof, as such property may be released or substituted pursuant to the terms hereof; (b) the Deposit Account and all of the property from time to time held therein, and (c) to the

hereafter arising (collectively, the “Pledged Collateral”). Any delivery or transfer of any of the Pledged Collateral to the Custodian and credited to the Securities Account or the Deposit Account shall be deemed a delivery or
transfer to the Administrative Agent. 
  
 4.2 Deposit
Account. Mont Re or any other person on behalf of Mont Re, including the Custodian, may from time to time deposit cash sums denominated in Dollars into the Deposit Account. Interest earned on the amounts held or credited to the Deposit Account
shall remain in the Deposit Account. Mont Re may from time to time request, and the Administrative Agent agrees to, effect transfers of cash from the Deposit Account to the Securities Account for the sole purpose of allowing Mont Re to purchase
Qualified Securities to be held in or credited to the Securities Account; provided that (a) any such transfer request shall involve a minimum amount of $500,000 or integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, (b) after giving effect to such
transfer request, Mont Re remains in compliance with the covenant contained in §6.8 and (c) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder. 
  

4.3 Security Interest. For and in consideration of the sum of ten Dollars ($10.00) and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and for and in consideration of the Issuing Banks’ agreement to issue the Letters 
  

 36 

 of Credit and the Lenders’ agreement to purchase Letter of Credit Participations therein, and the Tranche B Lenders
agreement to make Loans to the Parent, Mont Re hereby pledges, hypothecates, and impresses the Pledged Collateral with a lien in favor of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, and grants to the Administrative
Agent a security interest in the Pledged Collateral, in each case to secure the punctual payment and performance of all the Obligations. Mont Re covenants and agrees that (i) with respect to the Pledged Collateral consisting of the Securities
Account, the property held therein and any and all proceeds thereof, the Administrative Agent has control and, from and after the issuance of a Notice of Exclusive Control, which notice shall not be given unless an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have sole and exclusive control over such Pledged Collateral and that it shall take all such steps as may be necessary to cause the Administrative Agent to have sole and exclusive control over
such Pledged Collateral; (ii) with respect to the Pledged Collateral consisting of the Deposit Account, the property held therein and any and all proceeds thereof, except as expressly permitted in §4.2 above, the Administrative Agent has sole
and exclusive control over such Pledged Collateral and Mont Re shall take all such steps as may be necessary to cause the Administrative Agent to have sole and exclusive control over such Pledged Collateral and Mont Re shall have no rights to
withdraw or direct the transfer of any or all credit balances at any time in the Deposit Account for so long as any Obligations remain outstanding under or in respect of the Loan Documents; (iii) it shall not sell, transfer, assign, or otherwise
dispose of any of the Pledged Collateral without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent except in connection with substitutions, roll-overs or reinvestments of Pledged Collateral permitted pursuant to §4.7(b) and provided that,
after giving effect to such substitutions, Mont Re is in compliance with the covenant contained in §6.8; (iv) it shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect the perfected first priority
security interest in the Pledged Collateral granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder (subject to laws affecting creditor’s rights, generally); (v) it shall not create or permit the existence of liens or security interests in the Pledged
Collateral in favor of third parties other than (i) liens arising by operation of law, so long as the aggregate obligations secured thereby do not exceed $1,000,000 and (ii) the Custodial Lien and Set-Off Rights; (vi) it shall not take any action or
omit to take any action that would result in the termination of the Control Agreement without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent and it shall otherwise comply in all respects with the provisions of the Control Agreement; and (vii) with
respect to the Deposit Account and the Securities Account, it shall not give instructions or entitlement orders to the Custodian that would require the Custodian to advance any margin or other credit to or for the benefit of Mont Re. 
  
 4.4 Additional Obligations. Mont Re agrees that: (1) any distribution
in kind received by Mont Re from any party for or on account of the Pledged Collateral, including distributions of stock as a dividend or split of any of the Pledged Collateral, shall be promptly delivered to the Administrative Agent, for the
account of the Lenders, in the form received with any required endorsement; (2) additional collateral in form and kind satisfactory to the Administrative Agent will be deposited by Mont Re with the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
Lenders, in accordance with §6.8; and (3) any note or other instrument executed and delivered to Mont Re by any party to evidence any obligation of such party with respect to the Pledged Collateral shall be promptly delivered with any required
endorsement to the Administrative Agent. All such items shall be held by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement. 
  

 37 

 4.5 Certain Rights and Duties of Administrative Agent and Lenders. Mont Re acknowledges that the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no duty of any type with respect to the Pledged Collateral except for the use of due care in safekeeping any of the Pledged Collateral actually in the physical custody of the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders; prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral shall be limited to the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights as secured
party and pledgee and the right to perfect their security interest, preserve, enforce and protect the lien granted hereunder and their interest in the Pledged Collateral. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, Mont Re shall
be entitled to vote any Pledged Collateral constituting securities or capital stock and to give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given by Mont Re
if the effect thereof would impair any of the Pledged Collateral or be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any of the provisions of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement. All such rights of Mont Re to vote and give consents, waivers
and ratifications with respect to the Pledged Collateral shall cease upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. 
  
 4.6 Power of Attorney, Etc. Mont Re hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent the true and lawful attorney-in-fact for
and on behalf of Mont Re with full power of substitution and revocation in its own name or in the name of Mont Re to make, execute, deliver and record, as the case may be, any and all financing statements, continuation statements, notices of
exclusive control, assignments, proofs of claim, powers of attorney, leases, discharges or other instruments or agreements which the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may deem necessary or advisable to perfect, preserve, or protect (and,
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to enforce) the lien granted hereunder and the Administrative Agent’s, the Issuing Banks’ and the Lenders’ interest in the Pledged Collateral and to carry out the
purposes of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement, including but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any and all proofs of claim in bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings of Mont Re, with the right, upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, to collect and apply to the Obligations all distributions and dividends made on account of the Pledged Collateral. The rights and powers conferred on the Administrative Agent by Mont Re are expressly declared
to be coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until all the Obligations are paid and performed in full. A carbon, photographic, or other reproduction of a security agreement (including this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement) or a
financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement to the extent permitted by applicable law. 
  
 4.7 Release of Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall grant a release of its lien on the Pledged Collateral: 
  
 (a) In the event that the Collateral Coverage Amount exceeds the Total
Outstandings (such excess being referred to herein as the “Release Amount”) then, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request and expense of Mont Re, release such
portions of the Pledged Collateral designated by Mont Re with a fair market value equal to the Release Amount (or such smaller amount as may be requested by Mont Re); provided, that in no event shall the Administrative Agent be
required to release any Pledged Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of 
  

 38 

 Default or in an aggregate amount that is less than five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000). In connection with any such
partial release of the Pledged Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall give such consents as may be necessary to permit the Custodian to allow Mont Re to withdraw the Release Amount from the Securities Account and/or the Deposit Account, as the
case may be. Mont Re agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent on demand for any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such partial release of the Pledged Collateral, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees. 
  
 (b) So
long as the Collateral Coverage Amount exceeds the Total Outstandings, and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Mont Re may make substitutions of equal or greater value for the Pledged Collateral; provided that such Pledged
Collateral shall at all times consist of cash and Qualified Securities and in connection therewith the Administrative Agent shall, at the expense of Mont Re, release the Pledged Collateral for which Mont Re is making a substitution. In the event
that any amounts are paid or due to be paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral (whether at scheduled maturity or otherwise), Mont Re may give instructions to roll-over or reinvest such amounts in Qualified Securities, all of which shall remain
Pledged Collateral hereunder. 
  
 (c) In the event that (i) any
and all Letters of Credit are fully drawn or expire or are returned to the Administrative Agent for cancellation, (ii) all Reimbursement Obligations with respect to any drawings of Letters of Credit have been fully satisfied pursuant to the
provisions of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iii) there are no outstanding Loans, (iv) no other Obligations, whether contingent or otherwise, are then outstanding and (v) the Total Commitments have been
terminated, the Administrative Agent agrees that it shall, after request by Mont Re and at Mont Re’s sole cost and expense, release the Pledged Collateral from the security interest and lien created by this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement
and shall execute, or cause to be executed, such instruments of release and discharge as may be reasonably requested by Mont Re.

 6.5 Notices. 
  
 6.5.1 Defaults. As soon as practicable after Responsible Officer of a Borrower knows of the existence of any
Default or Event of Default, such Borrower will notify the Administrative Agent, in writing, of the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default, together with a reasonably detailed description thereof, and the actions such Borrower proposes to
take with respect thereto. 
  
 6.5.2 Notification of Claim
against Pledged Collateral. Mont Re will, immediately upon becoming aware thereof, notify the Administrative Agent, in writing, of any set-off, claims, withholdings or other defenses to which any of the Pledged Collateral, or the

set-off exercised by the Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Lien and Set-off Rights. 
  
 6.5.3 Notice of Litigation and Judgments. The Borrowers will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, give notice to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders in writing within thirty (30) days of
becoming aware of any litigation or proceedings threatened in writing or any pending litigation and proceedings affecting a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or to which a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is or becomes a party involving an
uninsured claim against a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and stating the nature and status of such litigation or proceedings. Each
Borrower will give notice to the Administrative Agent, in writing, in form and detail satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days of any final judgment not covered by insurance, against such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in
an amount in excess of $5,000,000. 
  
 6.6 Legal Existence;
Maintenance of Properties. Each Borrower will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its legal existence, rights and franchises and those of its Subsidiaries. It (i) will cause all of its
properties and those of its Subsidiaries used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of its Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment, (ii) will
cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of such Borrower may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously
conducted at all times, and (iii) will continue to engage primarily in the businesses now conducted by them and in related businesses; provided that nothing in this §6.6 shall prevent such Borrower from discontinuing the operation of any
Subsidiary (other than Mont Re) or the operation and maintenance of any of its properties or any of those of its Subsidiaries (other than Mont Re) if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of such Borrower, desirable in the conduct of its or their
business and that do not in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 6.7 Taxes. The Parent will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, duly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, before the same shall become overdue, all taxes, assessments and other
governmental charges imposed upon it and its real estate, sales and 
  

 46 

 activities, or any part thereof, or upon the income or profits therefrom, other than where failure to pay such taxes
would not result in a Material Adverse Effect; provided, that any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim need not be paid if the validity or amount thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and
if the Parent or such Subsidiary shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto; and provided, further that the Parent and each Subsidiary will pay all such taxes, assessments, charges, levies or claims
forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien that may have attached to the Pledged Collateral as security therefor. 
  
 6.8 Collateral Coverage. Mont Re hereby covenants and agrees that the Collateral Coverage Amount (as hereinafter defined) must at all times
be equal to or greater than the Total Outstandings. As used herein, the “Collateral Coverage Amount” means the sum of (a) the fair market value (as calculated by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) of the Pledged
Collateral consisting of cash multiplied by 1.0 plus (b) the fair market value (as calculated by the Administrative Agent by reference to Bloomberg or, if Bloomberg is not available, another quotation service reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent) of the Pledged Collateral consisting of Freely Transferable debt obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury Department or backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America (the “Treasury
Collateral”) multiplied by .90 plus (c) the fair market value (as calculated by the Administrative Agent by reference to Bloomberg or, if Bloomberg is not available, another quotation service reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent) of the Pledged Collateral consisting of Freely Transferable debt obligations issued by Federal Agencies other than the U.S. Treasury Department (the “Federal Agency Collateral”) multiplied by .80. The Federal Agency
Collateral together with the Treasury Collateral, shall be referred to collectively as the “Qualified Securities”. If either (i) Mont Re’s A.M. Best Rating falls below the rating of “A”-, or (ii) there is a default in the
performance of the covenant in §8.1 and a Cure Contribution has not been made, (x) the multiplier “1.0” contained in clause (a) above shall be decreased to “.90”, (y) the multiplier “.90” contained in clause (b)
above shall be decreased to “.80” and (z) the multiplier “.80” contained in clause (c) above shall be decreased to .70. If at any time the Collateral Coverage Amount is less than the Total Outstandings, then Mont Re shall
promptly provide to the Administrative Agent and pledge hereunder such additional cash or Qualified Securities as may be necessary to satisfy the foregoing Collateral Coverage Amount. Failure to do so within two (2) Business Days shall constitute an
immediate and automatic Event of Default under the terms and conditions of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement. Notwithstanding the monthly reporting obligations set forth in §6.4(e), the covenant contained herein shall be tested at all
times. 
  
 6.9 Inspection of Properties and Books, etc.

  
 6.9.1 General. The Borrowers shall permit the
Administrative Agent, upon reasonable prior notice and at reasonable times to visit and inspect any of the properties of each Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, to examine the books of account of each Borrower and its Subsidiaries (and to make
copies thereof and extracts therefrom), and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of each Borrower and its Subsidiaries with, and to be advised as to the same by, its and their officers. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of

might by law or upon bankruptcy, insolvency or otherwise, be given any priority whatsoever over Mont Re’s general creditors with respect to the Pledged Collateral or is transferred for the purposes of the payment of indebtedness not arising
hereunder or is taken by attachment, execution or any other form of legal process and/or the commencement of a proceeding by or against a Material Party under the federal Bankruptcy Code or the equivalent under Bermuda law, or any other federal,
state or Bermuda laws seeking to adjudicate a Material Party as bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking the liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of a Material Party or its debts under any law

payable, by reason of such default or defaults is $25,000,000 or more, (ii) default in the performance or observance of any obligation or condition with respect to any such other Debt of, or guaranteed by, a Material Party if the effect of such

the Obligations; and (f) at its discretion in its own name or in the name of Mont Re take any action for the collection of the Pledged Collateral, including the filing of a proof of claim in insolvency proceedings, and may receive the proceeds
thereof and execute releases therefor. After deducting its expenses, including reasonable out-of-pocket attorney’s fees, incurred in the sale or collection of the Pledged Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds to the
Obligations and shall account to Mont Re for any surplus. The Borrowers agree that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to sell or otherwise liquidate the Pledged Collateral in any particular order or to apply the proceeds thereof to any
particular portion of the Obligations. The Borrowers further agree that after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the extent that any voting rights exist, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to vote any
Pledged Collateral constituting securities or closely held Capital Stock but shall have the right to do so in its sole discretion. 
  
 In connection with any secured party’s sale, the Administrative Agent is authorized, if it deems it advisable to do so, in order to comply with any
applicable securities laws, to restrict the 
  

 55 

 prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Pledged Collateral
for their own account for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or re-sale thereof. Sales made subject to such restriction shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. 
  
 12. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. 
  
 12.1 Authorization. 
  
 (a) Bank of America shall replace Fleet as Administrative Agent on the
Amendment Effective Date. The Administrative Agent is authorized to take such action on behalf of each of the Lenders and to exercise all such powers as are hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents and any related documents delegated to
the Administrative Agent, together with such powers as are reasonably incident thereto, including the authority, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent of the Lenders, from time to time to take any action with respect to any
Pledged Collateral which may be necessary to perfect, maintain perfected or insure the priority of the security interest in and liens upon the Pledged Collateral, provided, that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed
herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (b) The relationship between the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders is that of an independent contractor. The use of the term “Administrative Agent” is for convenience only and is used to
describe, as a form of convention, the independent contractual relationship between the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders. Nothing contained in this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement nor the other Loan Documents shall be construed to
create an agency, trust or other fiduciary relationship between the Administrative Agent and any of the Lenders. 
  
 (c) As an independent contractor empowered by the Lenders to exercise certain rights and perform certain duties and responsibilities hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is nevertheless a “representative” of the Lenders, as that term is defined in Article 1 of the Uniform Commercial Code, for purposes of actions for the benefit of the Lenders and
the Administrative Agent with respect to all collateral security and guaranties contemplated by the Loan Documents. Such actions include the designation of the Administrative Agent as “secured party”, “mortgagee” or
the like on all financing statements and other documents and instruments, whether recorded or otherwise, relating to the attachment, perfection, priority or enforcement of any security interests, mortgages or deeds of trust in collateral security
intended to secure the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, all for the benefit of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent. 
  
 12.2 Employees and Administrative Agents. The Administrative Agent may exercise its powers and execute its duties by or through employees or agents
and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent may utilize the services
of such Persons as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may reasonably determine. 
  

 56 

 12.3 No Liability. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors,
officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent or employee thereof, shall be liable for any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder
or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the Administrative Agent or such other Person, as the case may be,
shall be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross negligence. 
  
 12.4 No Representations. 
  
 12.4.1 General. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement, the Letters of Credit, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at
any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Obligations, or for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectibility of any such amounts owing with respect to any of the
Obligations, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrowers or any of their
Subsidiaries, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for
the Obligations or to inspect any of the properties, books or records of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries. The Administrative Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by either
Borrower or any Lender shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. The Administrative Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the
Lenders, with respect to the credit worthiness or financial conditions of either Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and
based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement. 
  
 12.4.2 Closing Documentation, etc. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions set forth in §9,
each Lender that has executed this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted, or to be satisfied with, each document and matter either sent, or made available, by the Administrative Agent or the
Arranger to such Lender for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to such Lender, unless an officer of the Administrative Agent or the Arranger acting
upon the Borrowers’ account shall have received notice from such Lender not less than two (2) days prior to the Amendment Effective Date specifying such Lender’s objection thereto and such objection shall not have been withdrawn by notice
to the Administrative Agent or the Arranger to such effect on or prior to the Amendment Effective Date. 
  

 57 

 12.5 Payments. 
  
 12.5.1 Payments to Administrative Agent. A payment by a Borrower to the Administrative Agent hereunder or any
of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender shall constitute a payment to such Lender. The Administrative Agent agrees promptly to distribute to each Lender such Lender’s pro rata share of payments received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. 
  
 12.5.2 Distribution by Administrative Agent. If in the opinion of the Administrative Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in
such capacity hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court
of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Administrative Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Administrative Agent its
proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court. 
  

12.5.3 Delinquent Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, any Lender that (a) fails (i) to fund a Loan or purchase any Letter of Credit Participation (ii) to comply with the provisions of §15.2 with respect to making dispositions and arrangements with the other Lenders, where
such Lender’s share of any payment received, whether by set-off or otherwise, is in excess of its pro rata share of such payments due and payable to all of the Lenders, in each case as, when and to the full extent required by the
provisions of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement, or (b) has been deemed insolvent or become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, shall be deemed delinquent (a “Delinquent Lender”) and shall be deemed a
Delinquent Lender until such time as such delinquency is satisfied. 
  
 12.6 Holders of Participations. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the purchaser of any Letter of Credit Participation as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have been
furnished in writing with a different name by such purchaser or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee. 
  
 12.7 Indemnity. The Lenders ratably agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates from and against
any and all claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any expenses for which the Administrative Agent or such Affiliate has not been reimbursed by the Borrowers as required by
§15.3), and liabilities of every nature and character arising out of or related to this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (including without limitation, the Administrative Agent’s indemnity obligations
under the Control Agreement), or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or the Administrative Agent’s actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the
Administrative Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. 
  
 12.8 Administrative Agent as Lender. In its individual capacity, Bank of America shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and as the purchaser of any Letter of
Credit Participations, as it would have were it not also the Administrative Agent. 
  

 58 

 12.9 Resignation. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving sixty (60) days
prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers; provided that any such resignation by Bank of America shall also constitute its resignation as Issuing Bank (except as to Letters of Credit issued by it and then outstanding). Upon any
such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such successor Administrative Agent shall be reasonably acceptable
to the Borrowers. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a financial institution (a) having a senior unsecured debt rating of not less than “A+” or its
equivalent by S&P and (b) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred, approved by the Borrowers in their reasonable discretion. If no successor shall have been so appointed and accepted within sixty (60) days after the retiring
Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder and (2) the Required Lenders shall perform the duties of the Administrative Agent (and all payments and communications provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly)
until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor
Administrative Agent shall thereupon 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. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 
  
 12.10
Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. 
  
 (a) In
case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial, administrative or like proceeding or any assignment for the benefit of creditors relative to a
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Reimbursement Obligation or Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise
and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on such Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding, under any such assignment or otherwise: 
  
 (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the
principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any
claim for the reasonable 
  

 59 

 compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their
respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement) allowed in such proceeding or under any such assignment; and 
  
 (ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property
payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
  
 (b) Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding or under any such assignment is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent
and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, nevertheless to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement. 
  
 (c) Nothing contained herein shall authorize the Administrative Agent to consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations owed to such Lender or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such
proceeding or under any such assignment. 
  
 12.11 Notification
of Defaults and Events of Default. Each Lender hereby agrees that, upon learning of the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees that
upon receipt of any notice under this §12.11 it shall promptly notify the other Lenders of the existence of such Default or Event of Default. 
  
 12.12 Duties in the Case of Enforcement. In case one of more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not
acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Administrative Agent shall, if (a) so requested by the Required Lenders and (b) the Lenders have provided to the Administrative Agent such additional indemnities and assurances against
expenses and liabilities as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, proceed to enforce the provisions of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents authorizing the sale or other disposition of all or any part of
the Pledged Collateral and exercise all or any such other legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as it may have in respect of such Pledged Collateral. The Required Lenders may direct the Administrative Agent in writing as to the method and
the extent of any such sale or other disposition, the Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent, harmless from all liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions,
provided that the Administrative Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Administrative Agent reasonably believes the Administrative Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful or commercially unreasonable
in any applicable jurisdiction.

 13. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. 
  
 13.1 General Conditions. The provisions of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender
and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (a) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of §13.2, or (b) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of
§13.4 or (c) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of §13.6 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Reimbursement and Pledge
Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in §13.4 and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. 

 
 13.2 Assignments. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments); provided, that (a) except in the cases of an assignment of the entire
remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or, of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate, the aggregate amount of the Commitments being assigned shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and,
so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers, otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (b) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate
part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement with respect the Commitment assigned, it being understood that non-pro rata assignments of or among any of the Commitments and the Loans and
Reimbursement Obligations are not permitted; (c) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers, (such
approval of the Borrowers not to be unreasonably withheld), unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender with a Commitment; and (d) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (provided, that such processing and recordation fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion) and the Eligible Assignee, if it
shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to §13.3, from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under
this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be 
  

 61 

 a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of §§15.3 and 15.4 with respect to facts and
circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for
purposes of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with §13.4. 
  
 13.3 Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative
Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
“Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice. 
  
 13.4 Participations. Any
Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such
Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment); provided, that (a) such Lender’s obligations under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement shall
remain unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (c) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly
with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall
retain the sole right to enforce this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement; provided, that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that would extend the term or increase the amount of the Commitment of such Lender as it relates to such Participant, reduce
the amount of any Letter of Credit Fee to which such Participant is entitled or extend any regularly scheduled payment date for principal or interest. Subject to §13.5, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of §§3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to §13.2. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
§15.2 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to §15.2 as though it were a Lender. 
  
 13.5 Payments to Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under §§3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 than the
applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. 
  
 13.6 Miscellaneous Assignment Provisions. A Lender may at any time grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this
Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement to 
  

 62 

 secure obligations of such Lender, in connection with any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any of the twelve
Federal Reserve Administrative Agents organized under §4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. §341; provided that no such grant shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder, provide any voting rights hereunder to the
secured party thereof, substitute any such secured party for such Lender as a party hereto or affect any rights or obligations of either Borrower or the Administrative Agent hereunder. 
  
 13.7 Assignee or Participant Affiliated with the Borrowers. If any assignee Lender is an Affiliate of the Borrowers,
then any such assignee Lender shall have no right to vote as a Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for purposes of granting consents or waivers or for purposes of agreeing to amendments or other modifications to any of the Loan
Documents or for purposes of making requests to the Administrative Agent pursuant to §11, and the determination of the Required Lenders shall for all purposes of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents be made
without regard to such assignee Lender’s interest in any of the Reimbursement Obligations. If any Lender sells a participating interest in any of the Reimbursement Obligations to a Participant, and such Participant is a Borrower or an Affiliate
of the Borrowers, then such transferor Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the sale of such participation. A transferor Lender shall have no right to vote as a Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for
purposes of granting consents or waivers or for purposes of agreeing to amendments or modifications to any of the Loan Documents or for purposes of making requests to the Administrative Agent pursuant to §11 to the extent that such
participation is beneficially owned by a Borrower or any Affiliate of a Borrower, and the determination of the Required Lenders shall for all purposes of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents be made without regard to
the interest of such transferor Lender in the Reimbursement Obligations to the extent of such participation. 
  
 14. MONT RE GUARANTEE 
  
 14.1 Unconditional Guarantee. For valuable consideration, receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, and to induce each Lender to make Loans to and on account of the Parent and to induce the Administrative Agent to act hereunder, Mont
Re hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to each Lender and the Administrative Agent the punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations of Parent, whether for principal, interest,
fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent or now existing or hereafter arising (such Obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Mont Re’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Parent to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement but for
the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Parent. This is a guarantee of payment and not of collection merely. 
  
 14.2 Guarantee Absolute. Mont Re guarantees that the Guaranteed
Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement, regardless of any law or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent with respect thereto. The 
  

 63 

 Obligations of Mont Re under this §14 are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or
actions may be brought and prosecuted against Mont Re to enforce this §14, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Parent or whether the Parent is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of Mont Re under this
guarantee shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and Mont Re hereby irrevocably waives any defense it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following: 
  
 (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Reimbursement and Pledge
Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; 
  
 (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement
(other than this §14); 
  
 (c) any taking, exchange, release
or non-perfection of any collateral or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; 
  
 (d) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Parent or any insolvency,
bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Parent or any of its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Parent under this Reimbursement Agreement and Pledge Agreement; or 
  
 (e) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of
limitations to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, Mont Re, or the Parent (other than a discharge arising from the payment in full of the
Guaranteed Obligations). 
  
 This guaranty shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Lender or the Administrative Agent upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of
the Parent or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 
  
 14.3 Waivers. Mont Re hereby expressly waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for payment, protest, any requirement that any right or power be exhausted or any action be taken against the Parent or
against any other guarantor of all or any portion of the Total Outstandings, and all other notices and demands whatsoever. 
  
 (a) Mont Re hereby waives any right to revoke this guaranty, and acknowledges that this guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed
Obligations, whether existing now or in the future and regardless of whether Total Outstandings are reduced to zero at any time or from time to time. 
  
 (b) Mont Re acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated herein and that the
waivers set forth in this §14 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 
  

 64 

 14.4 Subrogation. Mont Re will not exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire
against the Parent or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement, including, without limitation, any right of
subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender against the Parent or any other insider guarantor or any collateral, whether
or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Parent or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other
property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash
and the Commitments shall have terminated. If any amount shall be paid to Mont Re in violation of the preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under
this guaranty and the termination of the Commitments, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the
Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement, or to be held as collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other
amounts payable under this guaranty thereafter arising. Mont Re acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement and that the waiver set forth in
this section is knowingly made in contemplation on such benefits. 
  
 14.5 Survival. This guaranty is a continuing guarantee and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this guaranty and the termination of
the Commitments, (b) be binding upon Mont Re, its successors and assigns, (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each Lender (including each assignee Lender pursuant to §13) and the Administrative Agent and their respective
successors, transferees and assigns and (d) shall be reinstated if at any time any payment to a Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder is required to be restored by such Lender or the Administrative Agent. 
  
 14.6 Severability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
§14 to the contrary, in the event that any action is brought seeking to invalidate Mont Re’s obligations under this §14 under any fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer theory, Mont Re shall be liable under this §14 only
for an amount equal to the maximum amount of liability that could have been incurred under applicable law by Mont Re under any guarantee of the Obligations of the Parent (or any portion thereof) at the time of the execution and delivery of this
Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement (or, if such date is determined not to be the appropriate date for determining the enforceability of Mont Re’s obligations under this §14 for fraudulent conveyance or transfer purposes, on the date
determined to be so appropriate) without rendering such a hypothetical guarantee voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer (the “Maximum Guaranteed Obligations”) and not for any greater amount,
as if the stated amount of the Guaranteed Obligations had instead been the Maximum Guaranteed Obligations. 
  

 65 

 15. PROVISIONS OF GENERAL APPLICATIONS. 
  
 15.1 Authorization to File Financing Statements. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to file (a) in any
Uniform Commercial Code filing office a financing statement naming Mont Re as the debtor and indicating the collateral as the Pledged Collateral, including, the Securities Account and the Deposit Account and all property held therein and any and all
proceeds of any thereof, whether now or hereafter existing or arising and (b) any registration of the Lien in Bermuda the Administrative Agent deems appropriate. 
  
 15.2 Setoff. Each Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders a continuing
lien, security interest and right of set-off as security for all liabilities and obligations to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now
or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any Lender Affiliate and their successors and assigns or in transit to any of them. Regardless of the adequacy of any collateral, if any of
the Obligations are due and payable and have not been paid or any Event of Default shall have occurred, any deposits or other sums credited by or due from any of the Lenders to such Borrower and any securities or other property of such Borrower in
the possession of such Lender may be applied to or set off by such Lender against the payment of Obligations of such Borrower and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or
hereafter arising, of such Borrower to such Lender. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE ANY LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH
RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWERS ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.  
  
 15.3 Expenses. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay (a) the reasonable costs of producing and reproducing this Reimbursement and Pledge
Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other agreements and instruments mentioned herein, (b) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Administrative Agent’s Special Counsel or any local counsel to the Administrative Agent
incurred in connection with the preparation, syndication, administration or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, each closing hereunder, any amendments, modifications, approvals, consents or waivers hereto or
hereunder, or the cancellation of any Loan Document upon payment in full of all of the Obligations or pursuant to any terms of such Loan Document for providing for such cancellation, (c) the fees, expenses and disbursements of the Administrative
Agent and the Arrangers incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers in connection with the preparation, syndication, administration or interpretation of the Loan Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, (d) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, which attorneys may be employees of any Lender or the Administrative Agent, and reasonable consulting, accounting, appraisal, investment banking and
similar professional fees and charges so long as the engagement of such professionals is reasonable) incurred by any Lender or the Administrative Agent in connection with (i) the enforcement of or preservation of rights under any of the Loan
Documents against either Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the administration thereof after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default and (ii) any litigation 
  

 66 

 or proceeding arising hereunder or related hereto or in any way related to any Lender’s or the Administrative
Agent’s relationship hereunder with either Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and (e) all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of any Lender or the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with UCC searches or UCC filings. The
covenants contained in this §15.3 shall survive payment or satisfaction in full of all other obligations. 
  
 15.4 Indemnification. Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, its
Affiliates and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, actions and suits whether groundless or
otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages and expenses of every nature and character arising out of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby
including, without limitation, (a) any actual or proposed use by either Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of the Letters of Credit or Loans, (b) any payments to the Custodian or in connection with the Pledged Collateral or (c) the Borrowers
entering into or performing this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in each case including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel incurred in
connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding; provided however that the Borrowers shall have no obligation to indemnify any Indemnitee for any liability, losses, damages or expenses resulting solely from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in
connection with this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee have any liability for any indirect or consequential damages relating to this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its
activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Amendment Effective Date). Subject to §15.5 below, in litigation, or the preparation therefor, the Indemnitees shall be entitled to select their own counsel and, in
addition to the foregoing indemnity, the Borrowers agree to pay promptly the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. If, and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrowers under this §15.4 are unenforceable for any reason, the
Borrowers hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. The covenants contained in this §15.4 shall survive payment or satisfaction in full of all
other Obligations. 
  
 15.5 Payments by Borrowers with respect
to Indemnified Persons. 
  
 (a) Any Person entitled to
reimbursement for expenses pursuant to §15.3 or indemnification pursuant to §15.4 (an “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the Borrowers in writing as to any action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation for
which indemnity may be sought. After such notice to the Borrowers, so long as the position of the Borrowers is not adverse to that of the Indemnified Person, the Borrowers shall be entitled to participate in, and to the extent that it shall elect by
written notice delivered to such Indemnified Person promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice of such Indemnified Person, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person to represent such Indemnified
Person in such action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation and shall pay as incurred the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation. 
  

 67 

 (b) In any action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation, any Indemnified Person shall have the right
to retain its own separate counsel at such Indemnified Person’s own expense and not subject to reimbursement by either Borrower; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall pay as incurred the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel
incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, defending, paying, settling or compromising any action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation if (i) the parties to such action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation include both the
Indemnified Person and the Borrowers and there may be legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person which are different from or additional to those available to the Borrowers; (ii) the use of counsel chosen by the Borrowers to represent both
the Borrowers and such Indemnified Person would present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict of interest; (iii) the Borrowers shall not have employed satisfactory counsel to represent the Indemnified Person within a reasonable time
after notice of the institution of such action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation; (iv) the Borrowers have not provided the Indemnified Person with adequate assurance of its acceptance of its liability for the underlying claim pursuant to
§15.4 and of its financial capacity to pay the full amount of such underlying claim or (v) the Borrowers shall authorize the Indemnified Person to employ separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) at the expense of the Borrowers. The
Borrowers shall not, in connection with any action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of legal counsel for all Indemnified Parties, except to the extent the use of one
counsel to represent all Indemnified Persons would present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict of interest, and in the event that separate counsel is to be retained to represent one or more Indemnified Parties, such separate counsel
shall be chosen by Administrative Agent. 
  
 (c) Each Indemnified
Person agrees that, unless the Borrowers are unable to comply with the provisions set forth in §15.5(a) above, without the Borrowers’ prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), it will not settle, compromise or consent to the
entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnification could be sought hereunder unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an
unconditional release of the Borrowers and the Indemnified Person from all liabilities arising out of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation. 
  
 15.6 Survival of Covenants, Etc. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein, in any of the other Loan Documents to which
a Borrower is a party or in any documents or other papers delivered by or on behalf of a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant hereto shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, notwithstanding any
investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any of them, and shall survive the issuance, extension or renewal of any Letters of Credit or Loans, as herein contemplated, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Letter of Credit or
Loan or any amount due under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents remains outstanding or the Administrative Agent has any obligation to issue, extend or renew any Letter of Credit or Loan, and for such further
time as may be otherwise expressly specified in this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement. All statements contained in any Letter of Credit Application, Compliance Certificate or Pledged Collateral Certificate delivered to any Lender or the
Administrative Agent at any time by or on behalf of the Borrowers shall constitute representations and warranties by the Borrowers hereunder. 
  

 68

 (ii) if to any other Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified in its Administrative Questionnaire or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail
address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks. 
  
 Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile

through electronic communications to the extent provided in subsection (b) below, shall be effective as provided in such subsection (b). 
  
 (b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication
(including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to §2 if such Lender has notified the Administrative
Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic
communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 
  
 (c) Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile. The effectiveness of any
such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable law, have the same force and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent
may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature.

  

 69 

 (d) Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and
the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form
of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses
and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative
Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 
  
 15.8 Miscellaneous. This Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement and the Pledged Collateral shall not be in any way affected by the extension of time or renewal of any of the Obligations, the modification in any
manner or the taking or release in whole or in part of any security therefor or the obligations of the Borrowers or any endorsers, sureties, guarantors or other parties or the granting of any other indulgences to the Borrowers. No termination of
this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement shall be effective until the Obligations of the Borrowers secured by this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement have been satisfied in full. 
  
 15.9 Successors and Assigns. This Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders and its and their successors and assigns and shall bind the Borrowers and the successors, representatives, legal representatives and/or heirs and assigns of the Borrowers. 
  
 15.10 Choice of Law/Binding Effect. This Reimbursement and Pledge
Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding the laws applicable to conflicts or choice of law (other than Section 5-1401 of the
New York General Obligations Law). Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of Article 9 of the uniform commercial code as in effect in the State of New York, New York shall be deemed to be the Administrative Agent’s,
the Issuing Bank’s and the Lenders’ jurisdiction. 
  
 15.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS REIMBURSEMENT AND PLEDGE AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY, INCLUDING ANY
COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO RELATING TO ENFORCEMENT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL
CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. Except as prohibited by law, each of the Borrowers, the Issuing Banks the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby waives any right it may have to claim or recover in any litigation referred to in the preceding
sentence any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages or any damages other than, 
  

 70 

 or in addition to, actual damages. Each of the Borrowers (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any
Lender, the Issuing Banks or the Administrative Agent has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such Lender, the Issuing Banks or the Administrative Agent would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers and (b)
acknowledges that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders have been induced to enter into this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement, the other Loan Documents to which it is a party by, among other things, the waivers and
certifications contained herein. 
  
 15.12 Delivery of
Additional Documents. Each of the Borrowers agree to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and/or third parties designated by the Administrative Agent such additional documents, notices, requests and other instruments as the
Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary or advisable to protect the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement. 
  
 15.13 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to maintain and to cause its Affiliates to maintain the confidentiality of all information
provided to it by the Borrowers or any Subsidiary of the Borrowers, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary of either of them, under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement or any other Loan Document, and neither
it nor any of its Affiliates shall use any such information other than in connection with or in enforcement of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with other business now or hereafter existing or
contemplated directly with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary; except to the extent such information (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Lender or its Affiliates or in violation of any
applicable confidentiality agreement known to the Lender, or (ii) was or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Borrowers
and/or with any restrictions on its use known to the Lender; provided, however, that any Lender may disclose such information (A) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any governmental authority to which the Lender is subject or in
connection with an examination of such Lender by any such authority; provided that the Lender makes reasonable efforts to request confidential treatment of such information to the extent permitted by law; (B) pursuant to subpoena or other court
process; (C) as may be required (in such Lender’s reasonable judgment) in accordance with the provisions of any applicable requirement of law; (D) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation or proceeding to which the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or their respective Affiliates may be party; (E) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (F) to such Lender’s independent
auditors and other professional advisors who agree to the confidentiality provisions hereof; and (G) to any Participant or Eligible Assignee, actual or potential, provided that such Person agrees in writing to keep such information confidential to
the same extent required of the Lenders hereunder. 
  
 15.14
Consents, Amendments, Waivers, Etc. Any consent or approval required or permitted by this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement to be given by the Lenders may be given, and any term of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement, the other Loan
Documents or any other instrument related hereto or mentioned herein may be amended, and the performance or observance by a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any terms of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement, the other Loan Documents or such
other instrument or the continuance of any 
  

 71 

 Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Borrowers and the written consent of the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, modification or waiver shall: 
  
 (a) without the written consent of the Borrowers and each Lender directly
affected thereby: 
  
 (i) reduce or forgive the
principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligations, or reduce the Letter of Credit Fee, the Commitment Fee or interest on amounts due hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (other than interest accruing pursuant to §2.7.5 following
the effective date of any waiver by the Required Lenders of the Default or Event of Default relating thereto); 
  
 (ii) increase the amount of such Lender’s Commitment or extend the expiration date of such Lender’s Commitment; 
  
 (iii) postpone or extend either Commitment Termination
Date or any other regularly scheduled dates for payments of the Loans or Reimbursement Obligations or any Fees or other amounts payable to such Lender (it being understood that (A) a waiver of the application of the Default Rate and (B) any
vote to rescind any exercise of remedies made pursuant to §11 of amounts owing with respect to the Obligations shall require only the approval of the Required Lenders); and 
  
 (iv) other than pursuant to a transaction permitted by the terms of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement,
release all or substantially all of the Pledged Collateral (excluding, if a Borrower or any Subsidiary of a Borrower becomes a debtor under the federal Bankruptcy Code, the release of “cash collateral”, as defined in Section 363(a) of the
federal Bankruptcy Code pursuant to a cash collateral stipulation with the debtor approved by the Required Lenders) or amend the multipliers set forth in §6.8; 
  
 (b) without the written consent of all of the Lenders, amend or waive this §15.14 or the definition of Required
Lenders; 
  
 (c) without the written consent of the Administrative
Agent, amend or waive §12, the amount or time of payment of any fees or expenses payable to the Administrative Agent or any other provision applicable to the Administrative Agent; 
  
 (d) Without the written consent of the Issuing Banks, the rights or duties of the Issuing Banks under this Reimbursement and
Pledge Agreement or any Letter of Credit Application relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it. 
  
 No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of
the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. No notice to or demand upon the Borrowers shall entitle the Borrowers to other or further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances. The Fee Letters may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties 
  

 72 

 thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Delinquent Lender shall have any right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender. 
  
 15.15 Agent for Service. The Borrowers have irrevocably designated, appointed, and empowered CT Corporation System,
with an office on the date hereof at 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10011 as its designee, appointee and agent to receive and accept for and on its behalf, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents which may be
served in any action, suit or proceedings brought against the Borrowers in any United States or State of New York court. If for any reason such designee, appointee and agent hereunder shall cease to be available to act as such, the Borrowers agree
to designate a new designee, appointee and agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York on the terms and for the purposes of this §15.15 satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower further hereby irrevocably consents and
agrees to the service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents in any action, suit or proceeding against each Borrower by serving a copy thereof upon the relevant agent for service of process referred to in this §15.15
(whether or not the appointment of such agent shall for any reason prove to be ineffective or such agent shall accept or acknowledge such service) or by mailing copies thereof by registered or certified air mail, postage prepaid, to such Borrower at
its address specified in §15.7 hereof. Each Borrower agrees that the failure of any such designee, appointee and agent to give any notice of such service to it shall not impair or affect in any way the validity of such service or any judgment
rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to serve any such legal process, summons, notices and documents in any other manner
permitted by applicable law or to obtain jurisdiction over the Borrowers or bring actions, suits or proceedings against the Borrowers in such other jurisdictions, and in such manner, as may be permitted by applicable law. Each of the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions, suits or proceedings
arising out of or in connection with this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement or any other Loan Document brought in the United States Federal courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York or the courts of the State of New York and
hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Borrowers, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders each waive personal service of any summons, complaint or other process and irrevocably consent to the service of process by registered mail, postage prepaid, or by any other means permitted by New York or federal law.

  
 15.16 Conversion. If, for the purpose of obtaining
judgment in any court or obtaining an order enforcing a judgment, it becomes necessary to convert any amount due under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement in Dollars into any other currency (hereinafter in this §15.16 called the
“second currency”), then the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange used by the Administrative Agent prevailing on the Business Day preceding the day on which the judgment is given or (as the case may be) the order is made. In
the event that there is a difference between the rate of exchange on the basis of which the amount of such judgment or order is determined and the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, then the rate of 
  

 73 

 exchange prevailing on the date of payment shall govern the amount owing hereafter, and each Borrower agrees to pay such
amount as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid on such date in the second currency is the amount in such second currency which, when converted at the rate of exchange for buying Dollars with the second currency prevailing on the date of
payment, is the amount which was due under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement in Dollars before such judgment was obtained or made. Any amount due from a Borrower to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders under the second sentence of this
§15.16 will be due as a separate debt of such Borrower to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, shall constitute an Obligation hereunder and shall not be affected by judgment or order being obtained for any other sum due under or in
respect of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement. The covenants contained in this §15.16 shall survive the payment in full of all of the other Obligations of the Borrowers under this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement. 
  
 15.17 Counterparts. This Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement and any
amendment hereof may be executed in several counterparts and by each party on a separate counterpart, each of which when executed and delivered shall be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Delivery by facsimile by
any of the parties hereto of an executed counterpart hereof or of any amendment or waiver hereto shall be as effective as an original executed counterpart hereof or of such amendment or waiver and shall be considered a representation that an
original executed counterpart hereof or such amendment or waiver, as the case may be, will be delivered. 
  
 15.18 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid
under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum
Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the applicable Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative
Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the
effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 
  
 15.19 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated
agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement and those
of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall
not be deemed a conflict with this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement. 
  
 15.20 Severability. If any provision of this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of
this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement and 
  

 74 

 the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith
negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
  
 15.21 Tax Forms. (a) Each Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a
“Foreign Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, prior to receipt of any payment subject to withholding under the Code (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly signed completed copies of either IRS Form
W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrowers pursuant to this Reimbursement and Pledge
Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrowers pursuant to this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to the Company and the
Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Code. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall
(A) promptly submit to the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be
available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect
of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrowers pursuant to this Reimbursement and Pledge Agreement, (B) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed
exemption or reduction, and (C) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its lending office) to avoid any
requirement of applicable laws that any Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Foreign Lender. 
  
 (b) Each Foreign Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to
such Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such Lender), shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on the date when such Foreign Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any
portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Administrative Agent (in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) two duly signed completed copies of the forms or statements
required to be provided by such Lender as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to United States withholding tax, and (B) two duly
signed completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto), together with any information such Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code, to establish that such
Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Lender.

Collateral to the Agent for purposes of perfection of the Agent’s security interest in such Collateral pursuant to Article 8 and Article 9 of the UCC, and Custodian hereby acknowledges that it has been advised of the Customer’s grant to
the Agent of a security interest in the Collateral Accounts and the Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Custodian makes no representation or warranty with respect to the creation or enforceability of any security interest in the Collateral
Accounts. The Agent and the Customer each agree to provide Custodian with a Certificate of Authorized Persons in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (as may be amended from time to time). 
  

 -3- 

 2. Control of the Securities Account. 
  
 (a) The Custodian shall comply with the entitlement orders originated by the
Agent with respect to the Securities Account and the Collateral therein without further consent of the Customer or any other person or entity. In addition, unless and until Custodian receives a Notice of Exclusive Control or if all previous Notices
of Exclusive Control have been revoked or rescinded in writing by the Agent, Custodian shall comply with entitlement orders from the Customer and take actions with respect to the Securities Account and the Collateral therein upon the instructions of
the Customer; provided, however, that Custodian shall not comply with entitlement orders or instructions from the Customer directing Custodian to make free deliveries to the Customer or withdrawals from the Securities Account or
deliver any financial assets to the Customer without the prior written consent of the Agent. Custodian shall have no responsibility or liability to the Agent or the Customer for actions taken in accordance with the instructions set forth in this
paragraph, except for Custodian’s bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct in carrying out (or failing to carry out) such instructions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent shall not withhold any instructions requested by the Customer
pursuant to and in accordance with Section 4.7 of the Amended Letter of Credit Agreement. 
  
 (b) Upon receipt by Custodian of a Notice of Exclusive Control, Custodian shall thereafter follow only the instructions of the Agent with respect to the Securities Account and shall comply with any entitlement order
received from the Agent, without further consent of the Customer or any other person, and Custodian will not comply with entitlement orders or instructions concerning the Collateral originated by the Customer. 
  
 (c) The Agent represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Customer that
the Agent will only issue to Custodian a Notice of Exclusive Control if an “Event of Default” has occurred under and as defined in the Amended Letter of Credit Agreement which entitles Agent to exercise its rights as a secured party with
respect to the Collateral in the Securities Account. 
  
 3.
Control by the Agent of the Deposit Account. From and after the date hereof, until termination of this Agreement, (i) Custodian shall take actions with respect to the Collateral in the Deposit Account solely upon the instructions of the
Agent, without further consent of the Customer, (ii) unless otherwise instructed by the Agent, Custodian will not permit the Customer or any other person or entity to withdraw funds from the Deposit Account and (iii) the Customer acknowledges that
it has no right to make withdrawals or direct transfers from the Deposit Account by direct instruction to Custodian, but that such withdrawals or transfers shall be effected only by instructions from Agent to Custodian, the Agent agreeing to give
such instructions to Custodian from time to time in accordance with Section 4.2 of the Amended Letter of Credit Agreement. 
  
 4. Distributions. Custodian shall, without further action by the Customer or the Agent, credit to the Deposit Account or the Securities Account, as
applicable, all interest, dividends, proceeds, and other income (whether in cash or in kind) received or collected by Custodian with respect to the Collateral. Interest, dividends, proceeds, and other income shall be considered Collateral.

 ARTICLE IV 
 COLLATERAL SERVICES 
  
 1.
Use of Depositories. The Agent and the Customer hereby authorize the Custodian to utilize Depositories to the extent possible in connection with its performance hereunder. Collateral held by the Custodian in a Depository will be held subject
to the rules, terms and conditions of such Depository. Where Collateral is held in a Depository, the Custodian shall identify on its records as belonging to the Customer and pledged to the Agent a quantity of securities as part of a fungible bulk of
securities held in the Custodian’s account at such Depository. Securities deposited in a Depository will be represented in accounts which include only assets held by the Custodian for its customers. 
  
 2. Release of Collateral. Under certain limited circumstances
specified in the Amended Letter of Credit Agreement and otherwise if there are no outstanding Obligations (as such term is defined in the Amended Letter of Credit Agreement) and the Agent’s commitment to advance credit to the Customer has been
terminated, the Customer may request the Agent to instruct Custodian to release all Collateral held in the Collateral Accounts. Custodian will effect such release as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving instructions from the Agent and the
Customer. 
  
 3. Release of Security Interest. The Agent
agrees to notify Custodian promptly in writing when all Obligations of the Customer to the Agent have been fully paid and satisfied (and any commitment of the Agent and the Lenders (as defined in the Amended Letter of Credit Agreement) to advance
further amounts or credit under the Amended Letter of Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Amended Letter of Credit Agreement) has been terminated) or the Agent otherwise no longer claims any interest in the
Collateral in the Collateral Accounts, whichever is sooner; at which time Custodian shall release such Collateral to the Customer and execute such documents and instruments of release as reasonably requested by the Agent and the Customer and
thereafter shall have no further liabilities or responsibilities hereunder and Custodian’s obligations under this Agreement shall terminate. 
  
 4. Statements. The Custodian shall furnish the Customer and the Agent with advices of transactions affecting the Collateral Accounts and monthly
statements for the Collateral Accounts. Each of the Customer and the Agent may elect to receive advices and statements electronically through the Internet to an email address specified by it for such purpose. By electing to use the Internet for this
purpose, each of the Customer and the Agent acknowledges that such transmissions are not encrypted and therefore are insecure. Each of the Customer and the Agent further acknowledges that there are other risks inherent in communicating through the
Internet such as the possibility of virus contamination and disruptions in service, and agrees that the Custodian shall not be responsible for any loss, damage or expense suffered or incurred by the Customer, the Agent, or any person claiming by or
through the Customer or the Agent as a result of the use of such methods. 
  
 5. Notice of Adverse Claims. Upon receipt of notice of any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim against any Collateral Account or any portion of the Collateral carried therein, the Custodian shall use reasonable
efforts to notify the Agent and the Customer as promptly as practicable under the circumstances.

 ARTICLE V 
 GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS 
  
 1. Standard of Care: Indemnification. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Custodian shall not be liable for any costs, expenses, damages, liabilities or claims, including reasonable attorneys’ fees
(“Losses”) incurred by or asserted against the Customer or the Agent, except those Losses arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of the Custodian. The Custodian shall have no liability whatsoever for the action or inaction of
any Depository. In no event shall the Custodian be liable for special, indirect or consequential damages, or lost profits or loss of business, arising in connection with this Agreement. 
  

	(b)	(i) Prior to the issuance of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Agent and the Customer shall indemnify and hold Custodian harmless with regard to any Losses imposed on or incurred
by Custodian arising out of any action or omission of Custodian in accordance with any notice, instruction, or entitlement order given by the Agent or the Customer under this Agreement, except to the extent such Losses have arisen from the
negligence or willful misconduct of the Custodian, provided that the Agent’s liability under this clause (i) shall be limited to those amounts for which Custodian has not been reimbursed by the Customer within 30 days after Custodian’s
having made written demand on the Customer therefor. 

  
 (ii) After a Notice of Exclusive Control has been issued, the Agent shall indemnify and hold Custodian harmless with regard to any Losses imposed on or incurred by Custodian arising out of any action or omission of
Custodian in accordance with any notice, instruction, or entitlement order given by the Agent under this Agreement, except to the extent such Losses have arisen from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Custodian. 
  
 2. No Obligation Regarding Quality of Collateral. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Custodian shall be under no obligation to inquire into, and shall not be liable for, any Losses incurred by the Customer, the Agent or any other person as a result of the receipt or acceptance of fraudulent, forged
or invalid Collateral, or Collateral which otherwise is not freely transferable or deliverable without encumbrance in any relevant market. 
  
 3. Identified Securities. The parties hereto acknowledge that no security entitlement under the UCC shall exist with respect to any financial asset
held in the Securities Account which is registered in the name of the Customer, payable to the order of the Customer, or specially indorsed to the Customer or any third party (each such asset an “Identified Security”), except to the extent
such Identified Security has been specially indorsed by the Customer to Custodian or in blank. The Customer covenants and agrees that it shall not instruct the Custodian to credit Collateral (except cash) to the Securities Account unless such
Collateral is registered in the name of the Custodian, indorsed to the Custodian or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Custodian and that in no case will any Collateral or underlying financial asset
credited to the Securities Account be registered in the name of the Customer, payable to the order of the Customer or specially indorsed to the Customer, except to the extent such Collateral has been further indorsed to the Custodian or in blank.
The parties acknowledge and agree that if any Identified Securities are received by the Custodian and credited to the Securities Account from time to time, such Identified Securities 
  

 -6- 

 shall (so long as so credited to the Securities Account and so long as this Agreement remains in effect) be held by
Custodian for the benefit of the Agent, not in its capacity as a securities intermediary, but in its capacity as a collateral agent under and subject to the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 4. Foreign Securities. The Agent hereby acknowledges that any Collateral in the Securities Account issued outside the
United States which may be held by Custodian, a sub-custodian within Custodian’s network of sub-custodians or a Depository or book-entry system for the central handling of securities and other financial assets in which Custodian or a
sub-custodian are participants may not permit the Customer to have a security entitlement with respect to such Collateral (and such property shall be deemed for purposes of this Agreement not to be a financial asset held within the Securities
Account). The parties hereby further acknowledge that Custodian gives no assurance that a security entitlement is created under the UCC with respect to the Customer’s assets held in Euroclear or Clearstream or their successors. 
  
 5. No Duty of Oversight. The Custodian is not at any time under any
duty to supervise the investment of, or to advise or make any recommendation for the purchase, sale, retention or disposition of any Collateral. 
  
 6. Advice of Counsel. The Custodian may, with respect to questions of law, obtain the advice of counsel selected by Custodian with due care and
shall be fully protected with respect to anything done or omitted by it in good faith in conformity with such advice. 
  
 7. No Collection Obligations. The Custodian shall be under no obligation to take action to collect any amount payable on Collateral in default, or
if payment is refused after due demand and presentment. 
  
 8.
Fees and Expenses. The Customer agrees to pay to the Custodian the fees as may be agreed upon from time to time. The Customer shall reimburse the Custodian for all customary and reasonable costs associated with transfers of Collateral to the
Custodian and records kept in connection with this Agreement. The Customer shall also reimburse the Custodian for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses which are a normal incident of the services provided hereunder. 
  
 9. Custodian Representations and Agreements. Custodian agrees and
confirms, as of the date hereof, and at all times until the termination of this Agreement, that it has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement (other than this Agreement and the Custodian
Agreement) with any other person or entity relating to the Collateral or the Collateral Accounts under which it agrees to comply with entitlement orders of such other person or entity. 
  
 10. Advances by the Custodian. It is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed by the parties that the Custodian shall
not be obligated to advance any margin or other credit to the Customer and the Customer agrees that it shall not instruct the Custodian to advance any margin or credit to, for, or on its behalf; provided, however, that Custodian may
advance payment to the Collateral Accounts for any purpose (including, but not limited to, failed securities settlements, foreign exchange contracts, assumed settlements or short-term account overdrafts). Custodian 
  

 -7- 

 agrees that it shall have no lien, encumbrance, claim or right of set-off against the Collateral Accounts or the
Collateral carried therein and hereby waives its right (by contract or statute) to any such lien, encumbrance, claim or right of set-off except, that in connection with any charges/debits to the Collateral Accounts for short-term account overdrafts
resulting from failed settlement of entitlement orders initiated by the Customer or the Agent, Custodian shall have a lien, encumbrance, claim and right of set-off against the Collateral Account and the Collateral carried therein to the extent of
the amount of such short-term account overdrafts and such lien, encumbrance, claim and right of set-off shall be senior to and have priority over any right or claim of the Agent therein until such time as the Customer has reimbursed Custodian for
such amounts or such overdrafts. 
  
 11. Effectiveness of
Instructions; Reliance; Risk Acknowledgements; Additional Terms. (a) Subject to the terms below, the Custodian shall be entitled to rely upon any Written Instructions delivered to the Custodian in accordance with this Agreement and reasonably
believed by the Custodian to be duly authorized and delivered. 
  
 (b) If the Custodian receives Written Instructions which appear on their face to have been transmitted via (i) computer facsimile, email, the Internet or other insecure electronic method, or (ii) secure electronic transmission containing
applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys, the Agent and the Customer each understands and agrees that the Custodian cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Written Instructions and that the Custodian
shall conclusively presume that such Written Instructions have been sent by an Authorized Person. The Agent and the Customer shall be responsible for ensuring that only its Authorized Persons transmit such Written Instructions to the Custodian and
that all of its Authorized Persons treat applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys with extreme care. 
  
 (c) The Agent and the Customer each acknowledges and agrees that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of
transmitting Written Instructions to the Custodian and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Written Instructions than the method(s) selected by it. The Agent and the Customer each agrees that the security procedures (if any) to be
followed in connection with its transmission of Written Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances. 
  
 (d) If the Agent or the Customer elects to transmit Written Instructions through an on-line communication system offered by
the Custodian, its use thereof shall be subject to the Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit C. If the Agent or the Customer elects (with the Custodian’s prior consent) to transmit Written Instructions through an on-line
communications service owned or operated by a third party, it agrees that the Custodian shall not be responsible or liable for the reliability or availability of any such service. 
  
 12. Inspection. Upon reasonable request and provided the Custodian shall suffer no significant disruption of its
normal activities, the Agent or the Customer shall have access to the Custodian’s books and records relating to the Collateral Account during the Custodian’s normal business hours. Upon reasonable request, copies of any such books and
records shall be provided to the Agent or the Customer at its expense. 
  

 -8- 

 13. Account Disclosure. The Custodian is authorized to supply any information regarding the
Account which is required by any law or governmental regulation now or hereafter in effect. 
  
 14. Force Majeure. The Custodian shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by
circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fires; floods; wars; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer
(hardware or software) or communications service; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority; governmental actions; inability to obtain labor, material, equipment or transportation. 
  
 15. No Implied Duties. The Custodian shall have no duties or
responsibilities whatsoever except such duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and the Custodian Agreement, and no covenant or obligation shall be implied against the Custodian in connection with this Agreement
except to the extent set forth in this Agreement and the Custodian Agreement. The Custodian shall not be liable or responsible for anything done or omitted to be done by it in good faith and in the absence of negligence and willful misconduct and
may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any notice, instruction entitlement order or other communication which it reasonably believes to be genuine and authorized. 
  
 ARTICLE VI 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 1. Termination. This
Agreement shall continue in effect until the Agent has notified Custodian in writing that this Agreement is to be terminated. Upon receipt of such notice, the Agent shall have no further right to originate entitlement orders concerning the
Collateral Accounts and the Customer shall be entitled to originate entitlement orders concerning the Collateral for any purpose and without limitation except as may be provided in the Custodian Agreement. This Agreement may also be terminated by
Custodian, the Agent or the Customer, and shall terminate in the event of the termination of the Custodian Agreement, following thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other parties hereto. Upon termination of this Agreement by any party,
all Collateral in the Collateral Accounts that has not been released by the Agent shall be transferred, within 30 days of such termination, to a successor custodian designated in writing by the Customer and acceptable to the Agent. In the event no
successor is agreed upon, Custodian shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor custodian and shall be indemnified by the Customer for any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’
fees) relating thereto. 
  
 2. Certificates of Authorized
Persons. The Agent and the Customer agree to furnish to the Custodian a new Certificate of Authorized Persons in the event of any change in the then present Authorized Persons. Until such new Certificate is received, the Custodian shall be fully
protected in acting upon Written Instructions of such present Authorized Persons.

 4. Cumulative Rights; No Waiver. Each and every right granted to any party hereunder or under any other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, or allowed it by law or equity, shall be
cumulative and may be exercised from time to time. No failure on the part of such party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise by such party of any right preclude
any other future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. 
  
 5. Severability; Amendments; Assignment. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not in any way be affected thereby. This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner except by a written agreement executed by each of the parties hereto. This Agreement shall extend to and shall be binding upon the

 8. Headings. Section headings are included in this Agreement for convenience only and shall have no substantive effect on its interpretation.

 EXHIBIT C 
  

THE BANK OF NEW YORK 
 ON-LINE
COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM (THE “SYSTEM”) 
  
 TERMS AND
CONDITIONS 
  
 1. License; Use. (a) This Exhibit C
shall govern Customer’s use of the System and any computer software provided by BNY to Customer in connection herewith (collectively, the “Software”). In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Exhibit C and the
main body of this Agreement with respect to Customer’s use of the System, the terms of this Exhibit C shall control. 
  
 (b) Upon delivery to Customer of Software and/or System access codes, Custodian grants to Customer a personal, nontransferable and nonexclusive license to
use the Software and the System solely for the purpose of transmitting Written Instructions, receiving reports, making inquiries or otherwise communicating with Custodian in connection with the Account(s). Customer shall use the Software and the
System solely for its own internal and proper business purposes and not in the operation of a service bureau. Except as set forth herein, no license or right of any kind is granted to Customer with respect to the Software or the System. Customer
acknowledges that Custodian and its suppliers retain and have title and exclusive proprietary rights to the Software and the System, including any trade secrets or other ideas, concepts, know-how, methodologies, or information incorporated therein
and the exclusive rights to any copyrights, trademarks and patents (including registrations and applications for registration of either), or other statutory or legal protections available in respect thereof. Customer further acknowledges that all or
a part of the Software or the System may be copyrighted or trademarked (or a registration or claim made therefor) by Custodian or its suppliers. Customer shall not take any action with respect to the Software or the System inconsistent with the
foregoing acknowledgments, nor shall Customer attempt to decompile, reverse engineer or modify the Software. Customer may not copy, sell, lease or provide, directly or indirectly, any of the Software or any portion thereof to any other person or
entity without Custodian’s prior written consent. Customer may not remove any statutory copyright notice or other notice included in the Software or on any media containing the Software. Customer shall reproduce any such notice on any
reproduction of the Software and shall add any statutory copyright notice or other notice to the Software or media upon Custodian’s request. 
  
 (c) If Customer subscribes to any database service provided by Custodian in connection with its use of the System, delivery of such database to Customer
shall constitute the granting by Custodian to Customer of a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use such database for so long as this Exhibit C is in effect. It is understood and agreed that any database supplied by Custodian is derived from
sources which Custodian believes to be reliable but Custodian does not, and cannot for the fees charged, guarantee or warrant that the data is correct, complete or current. All such databases are provided as an accommodation by Custodian to its
customers and are compiled without any independent investigation by Custodian. However, Custodian will endeavor to update and revise each database on a periodic basis as Custodian, in its discretion, deems necessary and appropriate. Customer also
agrees that Customer will 

 promptly install all updates and revisions to each database which Custodian provides and that Custodian cannot bear any
responsibility whatsoever for Customer’s failure to do so. CUSTODIAN IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY RESULTS OBTAINED BY CUSTOMER FROM USE OF DATABASE SERVICES PROVIDED BY CUSTODIAN. 
  
 2. Equipment. Customer shall obtain and maintain at its own cost and expense all equipment and services, including
but not limited to communications services, necessary for it to utilize the Software and obtain access to the System, and Custodian shall not be responsible for the reliability or availability of any such equipment or services. 
  
 3. Proprietary Information. The Software, any data base and any
proprietary data, processes, information and documentation made available to Customer (other than which are or become part of the public domain or are legally required to be made available to the public) (collectively, the “Information”),

*Interest payments due on

ANNEX B

BMG HARVESTING
PAYMENT SCHEDULE

 

For the time period from the
Effective Date of the Fifth Amendment through 1/30/2004, 85% of cash generated
from the collection of accounts receivable shall be retained by the Lenders and
applied to the Loans on a weekly basis in the manner set forth in Section 4.4
of the Credit Agreement.

For the period 1/31/04 - 7/15/04,
the percentage of collected accounts receivable retained by the Lenders and
applied to the Loans on a weekly basis will be revised at the request of the
Agent (with such percentage agreed upon by the Agent and the Borrower) based on
the weekly cash flow forecast delivered by the Borrower and on the monthly
projections of accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets as required
under Section 7.17(b) of the Credit Agreement; provided, however,
that the percentage of accounts receivable applied to the Loans shall not be
reduced below 65% without the consent of the Required Lenders.  It is understood that the percentage of
accounts receivable will be revised on each of 1/30/2004, 2/27/04, 3/31/04 and
4/30/04 and at such other times as the Agent requires.

100% of the Net Sale Proceeds from any sale of fixed assets
or other personal property of the BMG Business shall be applied to the Loans in
the manner set forth in Section 4.4 of the Credit Agreement.

In the event that the sum of cash
and cash equivalents held by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries exceed
$5,000,000 for any period of three consecutive Business Days, the Borrower
shall, on the Business Day immediately following such period, prepay the Loans
in an amount equal to any amounts in excess of $5,000,000 in the manner set
forth in Section 4.4 of the Credit Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing,
from and after the Seventh Amended Agreement Effective Date through but not
including the last day of the Waiver and Deferral Period, Net Sale Proceeds of
the BMG Harvesting Plan up to $1,000,000 in the aggregate (the "Withhold
Proceeds") which would otherwise be required to be applied to the Loans as
described above, shall instead be retained by the Collateral Agent in a deposit
account (the "BMG Harvesting Payment Account") for the benefit of the
Lenders.  At any time prior to the last
day of the Waiver and Deferral Period, amounts contained in the BMG Harvesting
Payment Account may be disbursed by the Collateral Agent to the Borrower upon
written request by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent describing (a) the
amount of Withhold Proceeds needed by the Borrower to avoid a shortfall by
Borrower in its payment obligations to trade creditors, professionals or employees;
and (b) the cash and cash equivalents held by Borrower on the date of such
request; provided, that any disbursement to Borrower pursuant to this
sentence shall be at the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent provided,
further, that disbursements to the Borrower pursuant to this sentence
which individually, or in the aggregate, exceed $350,000, shall require the
approval of the Required Lenders, which approval shall be at the sole
discretion of the Required Lenders.  On
the last day of the Waiver and Deferral Period, any amounts contained in the
BMG Harvesting Payment Account which have not been disbursed to Borrower
pursuant to the prior sentence shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to the
Loans in the manner set forth in Section 4.4 of the Credit
Agreement.  Each Lender, by its
execution of the Seventh Amended Agreement, consents to the disbursement of the
Withhold Proceeds to the Borrower in the manner contemplated by this paragraph.
