other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s
obligations hereunder; provided that, in each case, payment by the applicable Issuing Bank shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their
Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances

such L/C Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such L/C Disbursement at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Loans, at the election of the Borrower;
provided that if such L/C Disbursement is not reimbursed by the Borrower when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.12(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the
account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving
Lender to the extent of such payment. 
 (i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time
by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such
replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor
Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed
to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto
and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of such Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (i) in the case of an Event of Default
described in Section 7.01(h), on the Business Day, or (ii) in the case of any other Event of Default, on the third Business Day, in each case following the date on which the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent
(or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total L/C Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in
an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in Dollars in cash equal to the total L/C Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon;
provided that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.01(h), the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become
immediately due and payable in Dollars, without demand or other notice of any kind. The Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.10(b). Each such deposit pursuant
to this paragraph or pursuant to Section 2.10(b) shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have
exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be

  

 41 

 
made at the option and sole discretion of (i) for so long as an Event of Default shall be continuing, the Administrative Agent and (ii) at any other time, the Borrower, in each case, in
Permitted Investments and at the risk and expense of the Borrower, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the
Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which such Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for
the L/C Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total L/C Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations
of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the
Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.10(b), such amount (to the extent not applied
as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Borrower would remain in compliance with Section 2.10(b) and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

 (k) Additional Issuing Banks. From time to time, the Borrower may by notice to the Administrative Agent designate up
to two Revolving Lenders (in addition to BNP Paribas) that agree (in their sole discretion) to act in such capacity and are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as Issuing Banks. Each such additional Issuing Bank shall execute a
counterpart of this Agreement in such capacity upon the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and shall thereafter be an Issuing Bank hereunder for all purposes. 
 (l) Reporting. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall (i) provide to the Administrative
Agent copies of any notice received from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.04(b) no later than the next Business Day after receipt thereof and (ii) report in writing to the Administrative Agent (who shall in turn promptly provide
notice of same to all Lenders in accordance with Section 9.18(b)) (A) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred (and whether the amount
thereof changed), and such Issuing Bank shall be permitted to issue, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit if the Administrative Agent shall not have advised such Issuing Bank that such issuance, amendment renewal or extension would not be in
conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, (B) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any L/C Disbursement, the date of such L/C Disbursement and the amount of such L/C Disbursement and (C) on any other Business
Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, including prompt verification of such information as may be requested by the Administrative Agent. 
  

 42 

 Section 2.05 Funding of Borrowings. 
 (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds,
in Dollars, by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly
crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the TrAILCo Operating Account; provided that Revolving Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of L/C Disbursements as provided in Section 2.04(e) shall be remitted by the
Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank. 
 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on
such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing
available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (y) a rate
reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the applicable Credit Facility. If
such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. 
 Section 2.06 Interest Elections. 
 (a) Each Borrowing initially shall
be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect, in the case of a Borrowing, to
convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to
different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate
Borrowing. 
 (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such
election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each
such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in the form of Exhibit B-2. 
  

 43 

 (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election
Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses
(iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of
the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the
resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting
Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election. 
 If any such Interest
Election Request made by the Borrower requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender to which such Interest
Election Request relates of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (e) If the
Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest
Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have converted such Borrowing to a one-month Interest Period Eurodollar Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative
Agent, at the written request (including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as
a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 Section 2.07 Termination and Reduction of Commitments; Excluded Portions. 
 (a) Unless previously terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, each of the Revolving Commitments and the Construction
Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. 
 (b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce,
the Commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Construction Facility; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments under any such Credit Facility shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and
not less than $2,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining amount of the applicable Commitments), (ii) (A) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the

  

 44 

 
Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the Revolving Facility Exposure of all Lenders would
exceed the total Revolving Commitments of all Lenders and (B) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Construction Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of Construction Loans in accordance with
Section 2.10, the aggregate principal amount of Construction Loans of all Lenders outstanding would exceed the total Construction Commitments of all Lenders and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce any Commitment in
respect of any such Credit Facility if, after giving effect thereto, the funds available thereunder, together with the remaining available amount of the Project Equity Commitment (excluding the Total Additional Equity Amount), would not reasonably
be expected to be sufficient to fund all remaining Project Costs through Completion. 
 (c) At its option, the Borrower may
designate all or any portion of any of the Prexy Segment, the Virginia Segment and the Jointly Owned Segment to be an Excluded Portion; provided that the Borrower may not designate any portion of the Project as an Excluded Portion if the
Borrower borrowed Loans in an amount exceeding the Approved Limit for any Segment within which such portion of the Project is located. If the Borrower so designates all or any portion of the Prexy Segment, the Virginia Segment or the Jointly Owned
Segment as an Excluded Portion, then the aggregate Construction Commitments for all Lenders shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Allocated Loan Amount for such Segment less the Excluded Portion Loan Amount; provided that if less than
all of any Segment is designated as an Excluded Portion, then such reduction shall be made in proportion to the amount budgeted for such Excluded Portion relative to the Allocated Loan Amount for such Segment (as certified by the Borrower and
confirmed by the Independent Engineer). 
 (d) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate
or reduce Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section or any reduction required pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such
election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph
(d) shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be
revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of Commitments under the
Revolving Facility or the Construction Facility shall be made ratably among the Lenders holding such Commitments in accordance with their respective Facility Percentage of such Commitments. 
 Section 2.08 Repayment of Loans Generally; Evidence of Debt. 
 (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender, the
then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date, (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Construction Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Construction Loan on the Maturity Date, and
(iii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each New Construction Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each New Construction Loan on the Maturity Date. 
  

 45 

 (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain a register (the “Register”) in which it shall
record (i) the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of each Lender, (ii) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Credit Facility and Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (iii) the
amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) any amount received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s
share thereof. 
 (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section
shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect
the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Borrower and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all
purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it to the Borrower be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit
E-1 or Exhibit E-2, as applicable. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender and in the applicable form. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such
promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein. 
 Section 2.09 Repayment of Construction Loans and Revolving Loans. 
 (a) All Loans shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. 
 (b) Mandatory prepayments of Loans made pursuant to Section 2.10(b) shall be applied (i) first, on a pro rata basis, to any outstanding Construction Loans and New
Construction Loans, and the Construction Commitments and New Construction Commitments shall be reduced in an amount corresponding to such mandatory prepayment and (ii) second, on a pro rata basis, other than mandatory
prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i), to any outstanding Revolving Loans, and the Revolving Commitments shall be reduced in an amount corresponding to such mandatory prepayment. Loans required to be prepaid pursuant to
Section 2.10(b) may not be re-borrowed. 
  

 46 

 (c) Voluntary prepayments of Loans made pursuant to Section 2.10(a) shall be
applied as directed by the Borrower. 
 (d) Prior to any repayment of any Borrowing under any Credit Facility hereunder, the
Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings under the applicable Credit Facility to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time,
(i) in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing, one Business Day before the scheduled date of such repayment and (ii) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment. Each repayment of a
Borrowing shall be applied to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing such that each Lender receives its Facility Percentage of such repayment. Repayments of Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid. 
 Section 2.10 Prepayment of Loans. 
 (a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to
Section 2.15), in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum or, if less, the amount outstanding, subject to prior notice in accordance with
Section 2.09(d). 
 (b) Mandatory Prepayments. The Borrower shall make the following mandatory prepayments:

 (i) If at any time prior to the Maturity Date the Debt to Equity Ratio exceeds the Maximum Debt to Equity
Ratio, then the Borrower shall have seven Business Days either (x) to obtain an Equity Contribution in an amount sufficient to cause the Debt to Equity Ratio to be equal to or less than the Maximum Debt to Equity Ratio or (y) to prepay
Loans in accordance with Section 2.09(b) in an amount required to cause the Debt to Equity Ratio to be equal to or less than the Maximum Debt to Equity Ratio. 
 (ii) If the Borrower is required to prepay Loans pursuant to Section 5.20 in connection with its receipt of any
Loss Proceeds, then the Borrower shall apply such amount to the prepayment of Loans in accordance with Section 2.09(b). 
 (iii) In the event of any termination of all the Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all its outstanding Revolving Loans and terminate all its
outstanding Letters of Credit or cash collateralize such Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.04(j). If as a result of any partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments, the aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure would exceed
the aggregate Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders after giving effect thereto, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction, repay or prepay Revolving Loans and/or cash collateralize Letters of Credit in an amount sufficient to
eliminate such excess. 
 (iv) In the event of any termination of all the Construction Commitments, the Borrower
shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all its outstanding Construction Loans. If as a result of any partial reduction of the

  

 47 

 
Construction Commitments, the aggregate amount of all Construction Loans outstanding would exceed the aggregate Construction Commitments of all Construction Lenders after giving effect thereto,
then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction, repay or prepay Construction Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. 
 (v) The Borrower shall, on the date of receipt of any proceeds of any Permitted Refinancing, repay the Loans with all of such proceeds (net of the portion of such proceeds used to pay fees and other
transaction costs), and if all the Loans have been repaid, cash collateralize outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations, if any, with such net proceeds. 
 Section 2.11 Fees. 
 (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender
(other than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter in each year, and on the Maturity Date, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) on the daily amount
of the Available Unused Commitment of such Lender during such quarter (or other period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the Maturity Date) at the rate of (i) prior to such time as the Borrower has used 50% of the available
Commitments to draw loans under the Credit Facilities, .50% per annum and (ii) thereafter, .375% per annum. 
 (b) The Commitment Fee shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. The Commitment Fee due to each Lender shall begin to accrue on the Closing Date and shall
cease to accrue on the date on which the last of the Commitments of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein. 
 (c)
The Borrower agrees to pay to each Revolving Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter in each year, and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments
of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (a “L/C Participation Fee”) on such Lender’s Facility Percentage of the daily aggregate L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed
L/C Disbursements) during such quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the date on which the last of the Revolving Commitments shall be terminated) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for
Eurodollar Revolving Loans effective for each day in such period. All L/C Participation Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. 
 (d) The Borrower agrees to pay directly to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, the following fees and other amounts: 
 (i) a fronting fee in an amount separately agreed upon by the Borrower and such Issuing Bank (each a “Fronting
Fee”); and 
 (ii) such documentary and processing charges for any issuance, amendment, transfer or
payment of Letters of Credit as are in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s standard schedule for such charges and as in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be (collectively, the “L/C
Processing Fees”). 
  

 48 

 (e) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Agent, for the account of such Agent, the fees set
forth in any fee letter between such Agent and the Borrower (the “Agent Fees”) and to pay to the Arrangers the other fees set forth therein. 
 (f) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that Fronting Fees and L/C
Processing Fees shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Banks and the Agent Fees shall be paid directly to the applicable Agent. Once paid none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances. 
 Section 2.12 Interest. 
 (a) The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan made to the Borrower at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (b) The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan made to the Borrower at the Adjusted LIBOR for
the Interest Period in effect for such Eurodollar Loan plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any
principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower shall pay interest on such overdue amount, after as
well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (y) in the case of
any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section; provided that this paragraph (c) shall be subject to Section 9.10. 
 (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable by the Borrower in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan,
(ii) in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of all Revolving Commitments and on the Maturity Date, (iii) in the case of Construction Loans, upon the termination of all Construction Commitments and on the Maturity Date and
(iv) in the case of New Construction Loans, on the Maturity Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of
any Loan (other than a prepayment of a Base Rate Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and
(iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 
 (e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the
“Base Rate” shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
  

 49 

 Section 2.13 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any
Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR or LIBOR, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or 
 (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders under the applicable Credit Facility that the Adjusted LIBOR or LIBOR, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and
fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 then the
Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise
to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to a Base
Rate Borrowing on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing. 
 Section 2.14 Increased Costs. 
 (a) If any Change in Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or deem
applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve or other requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR) or Issuing Bank;
or 
 (ii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans
made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein (except, in each case, for Taxes); 
 and the result of any of the
foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) to the Borrower or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in,
issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) (except, in each case, for Taxes), then the Borrower shall
pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing
the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or any of the Loans made by, or participations in
Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company would have achieved but for
such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such

  

 50 

 
Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or
its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable,
the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Promptly after any Lender or any
Issuing Bank has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank
pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day
period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 Section 2.15 Break
Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any
Eurodollar Loan other than (i) on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or (ii) pursuant to Section 2.21, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in
any notice delivered pursuant hereto, except any such notice deemed ineffective pursuant to Section 2.13, or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result
of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be the
excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBOR that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such
event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue a Eurodollar Loan, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of
interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in Dollars of a comparable amount and period from other banks in
the Eurodollar market. Any Lender claiming break funding costs shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and such amount or amounts shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

 Section 2.16 Taxes. 
 (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Financing Document shall be made free and clear of and
without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes (including Other Taxes); provided that if by law any Indemnified Taxes (including Other Taxes) are required to be deducted or withheld from such payments, then (i) the sum
payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions or withholdings applicable to Indemnified Taxes (including Other Taxes) payable under this Section) any Secured Party receives an amount equal
to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings for Indemnified Taxes (including Other Taxes) been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay or cause
to be paid the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b)
In addition, the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid any Other Taxes payable on account of any obligation of the Borrower and upon the execution, delivery or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, the Financing Documents, to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify or cause to be indemnified each
Secured Party, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Other Taxes) paid by such Secured Party on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under
any Financing Document (including Indemnified Taxes (including Other Taxes) imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation for such
payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf, on behalf of another Agent or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error of any
such Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or such other Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Secured Party shall be indemnified for any Indemnified Taxes (including Other Taxes) incurred more than 180 days prior
to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies the Borrower of its liability for such Indemnified Taxes (including Other Taxes). 
 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes (including Other Taxes) and in any event within 30 days of such payment being due by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the
Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Each Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank that is not a “U.S. Person” as
defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver (to the extent such Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank is legally able to do so) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a
Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall

  

 52 

 
have been purchased) two copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (claiming benefits under an applicable treaty), Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY, as applicable (together with any necessary
attachments), or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form
of Exhibit F and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all
payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and any other Financing Document. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such
forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender (to the extent it is legally able to do so). 
 (f) Each Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank that is a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code agrees to complete and deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a
duly completed and executed copy of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) establishing that such Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank is not subject to U.S. backup withholding tax. 
 (g) If any Secured Party determines, in good faith and in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes in respect of or
calculated with reference to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay over such refund to the
Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such
Secured Party (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as determined by such Secured Party in good faith and in its sole discretion, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with
respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Secured Party, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable (not to exceed 30 days) the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other
charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Secured Party in the event such Secured Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require any Secured Party to make
available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential or burdensome to disclose) to the Borrower or any other Person. 
 Section 2.17 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. 
 (a) Unless otherwise specified, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of L/C Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14,
2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after
such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent
to the applicable

  

 53 

 
account designated to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to the applicable Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant
to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.05 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the
appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof, and any such payments not so distributed by the Administrative Agent within one Business Day of receipt thereof shall bear interest, payable by the Administrative Agent and not the Borrower,
at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. If any payment hereunder shall be
due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments
hereunder of (i) principal or interest in respect of any Loan, (ii) L/C Reimbursement Obligations with respect to any Letter of Credit or (iii) any other amount due hereunder or under any other Financing Document shall be made in
Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in
accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment. 
 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed L/C Disbursements, interest and fees
then due from the Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and Fees then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest
and Fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed L/C Disbursements then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of
principal and unreimbursed L/C Disbursements then due to such parties. 
 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of
set-off or counterclaim, through the application of any proceeds of Collateral or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving
payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall
purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the
aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto
is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the
Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements to any
assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower (as to which the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall apply). 
  

 54 

 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to
the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower shall not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made
such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment,
then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent
in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment
required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(d), 2.05 or 2.17(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 Section 2.18 Mitigation Obligations. 
 (a) If any Lender or Issuing
Bank requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to
Section 2.16, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans or issuing its Letters of Credit hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or
2.16, as applicable, in the future and (b) would not subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuing Bank in any material respect. The
Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or Issuing Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Issuing Bank or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, or any Issuing Bank defaults in its obligation to issue Letters of Credit hereunder,
then, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, elect to replace such Lender or Issuing Bank as a Lender or Issuing Bank party to this Agreement upon notice to such Lender or
such Issuing Bank, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent; provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) an Eligible Assignee shall agree, as of such date, to

  

 55 

 
purchase for cash, at 100% of the principal amount thereof, the Loans and other Obligations due to the Lender or Issuing Bank being replaced pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance (or
other assignment documentation acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in the case of a replacement Issuing Bank), and to become a Lender or Issuing Bank for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Lender or
Issuing Bank being replaced that are to be terminated as of such date, (ii) in the case of an assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, and (iii) the Borrower or the Eligible Assignee shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank being replaced on the day of such replacement all
interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Lender or Issuing Bank, including payments due to such Lender or Issuing Bank under Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16, as applicable.
 Section 2.19 Incremental Facilities. 
 (a) On or before the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, elect to request the establishment of one or more New Construction Commitments
(the “New Construction Commitments”), in an amount not in excess of $150,000,000 in the aggregate. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes
that the New Construction Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the identity of each Lender or other Person
that is an Eligible Assignee (each, a “New Construction Lender”) to which the Borrower proposes to allocate any portion of such New Construction Commitments and the amounts of such allocations. Any Lender offered or approached to
provide all or a portion of the New Construction Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Construction Commitment. 
 (b) Each New Construction Commitment shall become effective as of the Increased Amount Date applicable to it so long as each of the following conditions are satisfied: 
 (i) Both before and immediately after giving effect to such New Construction Commitment, each of the conditions set forth in Sections
4.02(b), 4.02(c), 4.02(d), 4.02(e) and 4.02(f) shall be satisfied (except that the condition set forth in clause (i) of Section 4.02(f) does not need to be satisfied so long as such condition is
satisfied after giving such effect). 
 (ii) Such New Construction Commitment shall be established in an amount not less
than $50,000,000 and the New Construction Commitments, in total, including such New Construction Commitment, will not be established more than three times. 
 (iii) Concurrently with such New Construction Commitment becoming effective, the Borrower shall procure an Equity Contribution from the Sponsor that satisfies the requirements of Section 2.04 of the
Equity Commitment Agreement. 
 (iv) The Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent an updated Project Budget and, if
requested by the Administrative Agent, an updated Project

  

 56 

 
Schedule, in each case reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Independent Engineer, reflecting the use of proceeds of New Construction Loans, either prior to
or within 30 days (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may consent to) following the Increased Amount Date for such New Construction Commitment. 
 (v) The interest rate margins applicable to the New Construction Loans made under such New Construction Commitment will not be more than 0.25% higher than the corresponding interest rate margins for the
existing Construction Loans. All other terms of the New Construction Loans made under such New Construction Commitment shall be identical to the terms of the existing Construction Loans, except for any different terms as the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower may agree to, which terms will be set forth in the applicable supplement to this Agreement entered into pursuant to this Section 2.19. 
 (c) On any Increased Amount Date on which New Construction Commitments are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.19(b), each New Construction Lender
shall make a Loan to the Borrower (a “New Construction Loan”) in an amount equal to its New Construction Commitment. The New Construction Loans made by the New Construction Lenders on such Increased Amount Date shall be designated
as a series (a “Series”) of New Construction Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. Each New Construction Lender of a Series shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the New Construction Commitment of such Series and the
New Construction Loans of such Series made pursuant thereto. 
 (d) The New Construction Commitments shall be effected pursuant
to one or more supplements to this Agreement executed and delivered by the New Construction Lenders and the Administrative Agent, each of which shall be recorded in the Register and each New Construction Lender shall be subject to the requirements
set forth in Section 2.16(e). 
 (e) In addition to the requirements set forth in Section 5.10, the
Borrower may only apply the proceeds of the New Construction Loans to pay Project Costs relating to portions of the Project (other than any Excluded Portion) in respect of which the Borrower will earn a return under its FERC-approved tariff. The
Borrower may not apply proceeds of the New Construction Loans to the Jointly Owned Segment unless the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(g) are satisfied. 
 (f) Each supplement entered into pursuant to this Section 2.19 may, without the consent of any Lenders (other than the New Construction Lender under such supplement), effect such amendments to
this Agreement and the other Financing Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, as determined by the Administrative Agent, to implement the provisions of this Section 2.19. 
 Section 2.20 Siting Approval. If at any time the Borrower has not obtained Siting Approval for any Segment for which there is an
Allocated Loan Amount, then the Borrower shall not apply Loan proceeds with respect to such Segment, or request that any Letters of Credit be issued in connection with such Segment, such that the aggregate amount of Loan proceeds applied with
respect to such Segment together with the L/C Exposure of any such Letters of Credit issued in connection with such Segment exceeds the Approved Limit for such Segment. 
  

 57 

 Section 2.21 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in
Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to
the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans or to convert Base Rate Borrowings to Eurodollar Borrowings, as the case may be, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), convert all such
Eurodollar Borrowings of such Lender to Base Rate Borrowings, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully
continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. The affected Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office
for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment would allow it to lawfully
make or maintain such Eurodollar Loans and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment.

of receipt thereof, provide the Administrative Agent with written notice as to whether the Borrower elects to apply such proceeds to rebuild, restore or replace the portion of the Project affected by the event giving rise to such Loss Proceeds and
(b) (i) if the Borrower has elected not to rebuild, restore or replace such portion of the Project, the Borrower shall, within 5 Business Days of making such election, apply such Net Available Amount to the prepayment of Loans in

 ARTICLE VIII. 
 THE AGENTS 
 Section 8.01 Appointment and Authority. 
 Each Secured Party hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank, N.A. to
act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent and appoints Union Bank of California, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Financing Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to
take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the such Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for
the benefit of the Administrative Agent (or any successor to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.06), the Collateral Agent (or any successor to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 8.07) and the Secured
Parties, and neither the Borrower nor any other Person shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 
 Section 8.02 Each Agent in its Individual Capacity. 
 (a) Each Person serving as the Administrative Agent
or the Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Secured Party as any other Secured Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and the term
“Secured Party” or “Secured Parties” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder in its individual
capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate
thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 
 (b) Each Secured Party understands that the Person serving as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (each, collectively, an “Agent’s
Group”) are engaged in a wide range of Activities and may engage in the Activities

  

 88 

 
with or on behalf of the Borrower or its Affiliates. Furthermore, an Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment
businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the Borrower and its Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Borrower or its Affiliates), including
trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of the Borrower or its Affiliates. Each Secured Party understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, an Agent’s Group may
receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Borrower or its Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Borrower or its Affiliates to perform its or their Obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents)
which information may not be available to any of the Secured Parties that are not members of such Agent’s Group. None of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent nor any member of such Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any
Secured Party or use on behalf of the Secured Parties, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that the Administrative
Agent and Collateral Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Secured Party such documents as are expressly required by any Financing Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, respectively, to the
Secured Parties. 
 (c) Each Secured Party further understands that there may be situations where members of an Agent’s
Group or their respective customers (including the Borrower and its Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Secured Parties (including the
interests of the Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Financing Documents). Each Secured Party agrees that no member of an Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the Person serving as
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent being a member of the Agent’s Group, and that each member of the Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Secured Party. None of
(i) this Agreement nor any other Financing Document, (ii) the receipt by an Agent’s Group of information (including Information) concerning the Borrower or its Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Borrower
or its Affiliates to perform its or their Obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including any duty of trust or confidence)
owing by the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any member of an Agent’s Group to any Secured Party including any such duty that would prevent or restrict such Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including the Obligors
or their Affiliates) or for its own account. 
 Section 8.03 Duties of Agents; Exculpatory Provisions. 

(a) Duties of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Financing Documents are solely ministerial and
administrative in nature and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Financing Documents. Without limiting

  

 89 

 
the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, but shall be required to act or refrain
from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other
Financing Documents), and the Collateral Agent shall be required to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Administrative Agent (at the written direction of
the Required Lenders or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Financing Documents, if such direction is required hereunder or under the other Financing Documents) or the Required
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Financing Documents) and shall have no duty to take actions or exercise powers hereunder or under the other Financing Documents
other than as set forth in any such written direction; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of their respective Affiliates to liability or that is contrary to any Financing Document or applicable law or if either such Agent receives conflicting directions from any Persons that have the
authority to direct it hereunder or under the other Financing Documents. The Collateral Agent shall promptly provide to the Administrative Agent a copy of any written communication or documentation it receives in its capacity as the Collateral Agent
hereunder or under the other Financing Documents but shall not be required to provide copies of any such materials to any Lenders. 
 (b) Each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as
shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 7.02 or 9.10) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as
determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any
Default unless and until the Borrower or any Secured Party shall have given notice to such Agent describing such Default and such event or events. 
 (c) Neither the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty,
representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement, any other Financing Document or the Information Memorandum, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or
thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth
herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the perfection or priority of
any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created by the Security Documents or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii))
to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. 
  

 90 

 Nothing in this Agreement or any other Financing Document shall require the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of their Related Parties to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any person on behalf of any Secured Party and each Secured Party confirms to the Administrative Agent and
Collateral Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of their Related
Parties. 
 Section 8.04 Reliance by Agents. 
 (a) The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any
notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or
otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon. 
 (b) In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the
issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Secured Party, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Secured Party unless an officer of the Administrative Agent
responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Secured Party prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and in the case of a Borrowing, such Secured Party
shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent such Lender Party’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. 
 (c) The
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower or any other Secured Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or
not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
 Section 8.05 Delegation of
Duties. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Financing Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such
Agent. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. Each such sub-agent and the Related
Parties of such Agent and each such sub-agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Section 8.05 and Section 9.06 (as though such sub-agents were the “Administrative Agent” or the
“Collateral Agent,” as applicable, under the Financing Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 
 Section 8.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent or any successor Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Secured Parties and the Borrower, such resignation to be
effective upon the appointment of a successor

  

 91 

 
Administrative Agent as provided in this Section 8.06. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to
appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the City and State of New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the City and State of New York. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders
and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the departing Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (such 30-day period, the “Secured Party Appointment Period”), then on behalf of the Secured
Parties, the departing Administrative Agent may appoint a successor Administrative Agent, meeting the qualifications set forth above. In addition and without any obligation on the part of the departing Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender
Parties such departing Administrative Agent may at any time upon or after the end of the Secured Party Appointment Period notify the Borrower and the Secured Parties that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as its successor and the
effective date of such departing Administrative Agent’s resignation which effective date shall be no earlier than three Business Days after the date of such notice. Upon the resignation effective date established in such notice and regardless
of whether a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the departing Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the departing Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its respective duties and obligations as Administrative Agent, as applicable, hereunder and under the other Financing Documents and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the
Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Secured Party directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties as Administrative Agent of the departing (or departed) Administrative Agent and the departing
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder or under the other Financing Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees
payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the departing Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder
and under the other Financing Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.06 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such departing Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect
of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the departing Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 Section 8.07 Resignation of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent or any successor Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Secured Parties and the Borrower,
such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent as provided in this Section 8.07. The Secured Parties may at any time remove the Collateral Agent for or without cause at any time by giving written
notice to the Collateral Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or removal, or in case the office of the Collateral Agent shall become vacant for any reason, the Secured Parties shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower,
to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the City and State of New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the City and State of New York. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Secured
Parties and shall have accepted

  

 92 

 
such appointment within 30 days after the departing Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then on behalf of the Secured Parties, the departing Collateral Agent may appoint an interim
successor Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Upon the resignation effective date established in such notice, so long as either (x) a successor Collateral Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment or
(y) the Collateral Agent has appointed an interim Collateral Agent, then, in either case, (i) the departing Collateral Agent’s resignation shall become effective, (ii) the departing Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its
respective duties and obligations as Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder and under the other Financing Documents, subject to the departing Collateral Agent’s compliance and the successor Collateral Agent’s compliance with the
requirements below regarding transfer of the Collateral, and (iii) the successor Collateral Agent or (until the Secured Parties appoint a successor, the interim Collateral Agent) shall assume the responsibilities of the Collateral Agent
hereunder. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor or interim Collateral Agent shall immediately and without further act succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges, duties and obligations of the departing (or departed) Collateral Agent hereunder and under the Financing Documents as if originally named herein and therein and the departing Collateral Agent shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to
such successor or interim Collateral Agent all the rights, property, assets and moneys at the time held by the departing Collateral Agent hereunder and under the Financing Documents and shall execute and deliver such proper instruments as may be
reasonably necessary or requested to evidence such assignment, transfer and delivery, and the departing Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations as Collateral Agent hereunder or under the other Financing
Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower
and such successor. After the departing Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Financing Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.06 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such departing
Collateral Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the departing Collateral Agent was acting as Collateral Agent. 
 Section 8.08 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Other Lender Parties. 
 (a) Each Secured Party confirms to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each other Secured Party and each of their respective
Related Parties that it (i) possesses (individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance on the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any
other Lender Party or any of their respective Related Parties, of evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal, regulatory, credit, accounting and other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Agreement, (y) making Loans and
other extensions of credit hereunder and under the other Financing Documents and (z) taking or not taking actions hereunder and thereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii) has determined that entering into this
Agreement and making Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and under the other Financing Documents is suitable and appropriate for it. 
  

 93 

 (b) Each Secured Party acknowledges that it (i) is solely responsible for making its
own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, (ii) has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any
other Secured Party or any of their respective Related Parties, made its own appraisal and investigation of all risks associated with, and its own credit analysis and decision to enter into, this Agreement based on such documents and information, as
it has deemed appropriate and (iii) will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or any of their respective Related Parties, continue to be solely responsible for making
its own appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with, and its own credit analysis and decision to take or not take action under, this Agreement and the other Financing Documents based on such documents and information
as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, which may include, in each case: 
 (i) the financial condition,
status and capitalization of the Borrower; 
 (ii) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or
enforceability of this Agreement and each other Financing Document and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Financing Document; 
 (iii) determining compliance or non-compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a
Letter of Credit and the form and substance of all evidence delivered in connection with establishing the satisfaction of each such condition; and 
 (iv) the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the Information Memorandum and any other information delivered by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent any other Secured Party or by any of
their respective Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Financing Document, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in
anticipation of, under or in connection with any Financing Document. 
 Section 8.09 No Other Duties, etc. Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Persons acting as book managers, Arrangers, the Syndication Agent or the Documentation Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement
or any of the other Financing Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Issuing Bank or as a Lender Party hereunder. 
 Section 8.10 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any
interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any withholding Tax. If any Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the
appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances

  

 94 

 
which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly
or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expense) incurred. 
 ARTICLE IX.

format acceptable to the Administrative Agent at the email address referenced on Schedule 9.01 or such other electronic mail address (or similar means of electronic delivery) as the Administrative Agent may notify to the Borrower. Nothing in
this clause (c) shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or

  

 95 

 
any Secured Party to deliver any Approved Electronic Communication to the Borrower in any manner authorized in this Agreement or to request that the Borrower effect delivery in such manner.

 Section 9.02 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the
Borrower in this Agreement and the other Financing Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Financing Document shall be considered to have been relied
upon by the Lenders and each Issuing Bank. Such agreements, representations and warranties shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, the execution and delivery of the Financing Documents and the issuance of the Letters of Credit,
regardless of any investigation made by such Persons or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or L/C Disbursement or any Fee or any other amount payable under
this Agreement or any other Financing Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreements contained herein, the
indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations contained herein (including pursuant to Sections 2.18, 2.20 and 9.05) shall survive the payment in full of the principal and interest hereunder, the expiration of the
Letters of Credit and the termination of the Commitments or this Agreement. 
 Section 9.03 Binding Effect. This
Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the parties hereto and when the Administrative Agent shall have received copies hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and
thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, each Secured Party and their respective successors and permitted assigns. 
 Section 9.04 Successors and Assigns. 
 (a) The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the
Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Financing Document without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such
consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon
any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this
Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Secured Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
  

 96 

 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may
assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments, and the Loans and L/C Disbursements at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: 
 (A) the Borrower; provided that no consent of
the Borrower shall be required: 
  

	 	(1)	for any assignment of a Loan or Commitment to an assignee that is, immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment, (x) a Lender, (y) an Affiliate of a
Lender, or (z) an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender (provided that any liability of the Borrower to an assignee that is an Approved Fund or Affiliate of the assigning Lender under Section 2.14 or 2.16 shall be
limited to the amount, if any, that would have been payable hereunder by the Borrower in the absence of such assignment); or 

  

	 	(2)	if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, for any assignment; and 

 (B) the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any Revolving Commitment, the Issuing Bank; provided that no consent
of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall be required: 
  

	 	(1)	for any assignment of a Construction Loan, New Construction Loan, Construction Commitment or New Construction Commitment to an assignee that is, immediately prior to
giving effect to such assignment, (x) a Lender, (y) an Affiliate of a Lender, or (z) an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender; or 

  

	 	(2)	for any assignment of a Revolving Loan or Revolving Commitment to an assignee that is, immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment, (x) a Revolving
Lender, (y) an Affiliate of a Revolving Lender, or (z) an Approved Fund with respect to a Revolving Lender; and 

 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 
 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at
least $5,000,000 in the aggregate, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative
Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and related
Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of determining compliance with such minimum assignment amounts; 
  

 97 

 (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 Agreement with respect to the relevant Credit Facility or Credit Facilities; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance; and

 (D) the assignee, if it shall not already be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv)
of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender hereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16
and 9.05). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights
and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. 
 (iv) Upon its receipt of a duly
completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and any written consent to such assignment
required by paragraph (b)(i) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless
it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 
 (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including
all or a portion of its Commitments, and the Loans and L/C Disbursements at the time owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower and the Secured Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument (oral or written) pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this

  

 98 

 
Agreement and the other Financing Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents; provided that
(x) such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 9.04(a)(i) or clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v),
(vi) or (vii) of the first proviso to Section 9.08(b) that affects such Participant and (y) no other agreement (oral or written) with respect to such Participant may exist between such Lender and such Participant. Subject
to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. 
 (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive
any greater payment under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. A Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender
if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant complies with Section 2.16(e) as though it were a
Lender. 
 (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no
such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 Section 9.05 Expenses; Indemnity. 
 (a) The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, or by the
Agents in connection with the syndication of the Commitments or the administration of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any action taken by any
Agent to render fully valid and enforceable under any applicable laws, rights, liens and priorities of the Secured Parties with respect to Collateral), or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or
thereof (whether or not the Transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the any Secured Party in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Financing
Documents, in connection with the Loans made or the Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of Latham & Watkins LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers,
New York counsel for the Collateral Agent, and any local counsel for the Arrangers that have been approved by the Borrower, if applicable, and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the reasonable and documented fees, charges and
disbursements of any other counsel for the Arrangers or any Secured Party (but no more than one such counsel for all Secured Parties). 
  

 99 

 (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Arrangers, each Secured Party and each of their
respective directors, trustees, officers, employees, investment advisors and agents (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and related expenses, including reasonable and documented outside counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery
of this Agreement or any other Financing Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the
Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of any Letter of Credit, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether
or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, (iv) any Environmental Claim to the extent related in any way to the Borrower, or (v) any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials at, under, on or from any
Real Property, any property owned, leased or operated by any predecessor of the Borrower, or, to the extent related in any way to the Borrower, any property at which the Borrower has sent Hazardous Materials for treatment, storage or disposal;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses result primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee,
as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The provisions of this Section shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Secured
Party. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable within 30 days following written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested. 
 (c) Without limiting or reducing the Borrower’s Obligations, each Lender agrees (i) to reimburse the Agents, on demand, in the
amount of its pro rata share (based on its Commitments hereunder, or if its Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, based on the respective principal amounts of its applicable outstanding Loans or participations in L/C
Disbursements, as applicable) of any reasonable expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders by the Agents, including reasonable counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, which
shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower, and (ii) to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and any of its Related Parties, on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share, from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in its capacity as Agent or any of them in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Financing Document or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any other Financing Document, to the extent the same shall not have been reimbursed by the
Borrower; provided that no Lender shall be liable to an Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements found in a final non-appealable judgment
by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent or any of its Related Parties. 
  

 100 

 (d) No Indemnitee shall be liable for, and the Borrower hereby agrees not to assert any
claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for consequential, incidental, indirect, punitive or special damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Financing Documents, the Transactions, any of the transactions contemplated in
the Financing Documents or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans and the L/C Disbursements. 
 Section 9.06 Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of the
Borrower, against any and all obligations of the Borrower, now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Financing Document held by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall
have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Financing Document and although the obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including
other rights of set-off) that such Lender or such Issuing Bank may have under applicable law and, in the case of rights and remedies relating to the Letters of Credit, applicable rules pertaining to such Letters of Credit. 
 Section 9.07 APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET
FORTH IN OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 Section 9.08 Waivers; Amendment. 
 (a) No failure or delay of any Secured Party in exercising any right or
power hereunder or under any other Financing Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right or power, preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Financing Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that
they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower, the Pledgor or the Sponsor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be
permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower, the Pledgor or the Sponsor in any case shall entitle
such Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any
other Financing Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders
and (y) in the case of any other Financing Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each party thereto and consented to by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall:

 (i) decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity of, or decrease the rate of
interest on, any Loan or L/C Disbursement without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; 
  

 101 

 (ii) increase or extend any Commitment of any Lender or decrease the Fees of
any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitments shall not
constitute an increase of the Commitments of any Lender); 
 (iii) extend or waive any date for payment of
principal of any Loan or reduce the amount due on any such date or extend any date on which payment of interest on any Loan, L/C Disbursement, or any Fee is due, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby;

 (iv) amend or modify the provisions of Sections 2.17(b) or 2.17(c) in a manner that would by its
terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby; 
 (v) amend or modify the provisions of this Section or the definitions of the terms “Required Lenders”, “Required Class Lenders” or “Required Construction Class Lenders” or
any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely
affected thereby; 
 (vi) extend the stated expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Maturity Date
without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; 
 (vii) release all or substantially
all the Collateral without the consent of each Lender; 
 (viii) amend, modify or waive any provision hereof if
such amendment, modification or waiver would by its terms affect the rights or obligations of any Construction Loan Class in a manner different than the other Construction Loan Classes without the prior written consent of the Required Construction
Class Lenders of each affected Construction Loan Class; or 
 (ix) amend, modify or waive any provision hereof if
such amendment, modification or waiver would by its terms affect the rights of any Class of Lenders to receive payments hereunder in a manner different than any other Class of Lenders without the prior written consent of the Required Class Lenders
of each such affected Class of Lenders; 
  

 102 

 provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights
or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or an Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or such Issuing Bank acting as such at the effective date of such
agreement, as applicable. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section shall bind any assignee of such Lender. 
 (c) Without the consent of any Lender, each of the Borrower, the Pledgor, the Sponsor and the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral
Agent may (in their respective sole discretion) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Financing Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, in each case to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or
enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured
Parties in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law. 
 (d) If, in connection with any
proposed amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.08 requiring the consent of “the Required Lenders,” “each Lender,” “such Lender,” “each Lender directly affected thereby” or “each Lender
adversely affected thereby,” a Lender does not approve such amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.08 and such amendment or waiver would otherwise have been approved but for such Lender’s non-approval (such Lender, a
“Non-Consenting Lender”), together with the failure of any other Lender to approve such proposed amendment or waiver under Section 9.08, then the Borrower may elect to replace such Non-Consenting Lender(s) as a
Lender party to this Agreement; provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) an Eligible Assignee shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash, at 100% of the principal amount thereof, the Loans and other Obligations due
to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date, (ii) the replacement
Lender shall grant its consent with respect to the applicable proposed amendment or waiver and (iii) the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement all interest, fees and other amounts then
accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16. 
 Section 9.09 Dominion Joint Venture. For purposes of determining whether the Borrower is in compliance with representations and
warranties, covenants and other provisions hereunder, any properties constituting the Jointly Owned Segment (including properties in which each of the Borrower and Dominion has a joint and undivided interest) will be regarded as if such properties
are wholly-owned by the Borrower. 
 Section 9.10 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges that are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in
connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender or any Issuing Bank, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received
or reserved by such

  

 103 

 
Lender or Issuing Bank in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, shall be limited to the
Maximum Rate, provided that such excess amount shall be paid to such Lender or such Issuing Bank on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation. 
 Section 9.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Financing Documents and the agreements regarding certain Fees referred
to herein constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among or representations from the parties or their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this
Agreement and the other Financing Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any fee letter between the Borrower and any Agent or Arranger shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect. Nothing in this
Agreement or in the other Financing Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other
Financing Documents. 
 Section 9.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.12. 

Section 9.13 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other
Financing Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties
shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

 Section 9.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall
constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile transmission
shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original. 
 Section 9.15 Headings. Article and Section
headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 
  

 104 

 Section 9.16 Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. 
 (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction
of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Financing
Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State
Court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any action or proceeding in such courts by the mailing thereof by any parties thereto by registered
or certified mail, postage prepaid, to any other party at the address specified for such party on Schedule 9.01. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced
in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party hereto may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the
other Financing Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other
Financing Documents in any New York State or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York County. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
 Section 9.17 Confidentiality;
Treatment of Information. 
 (a) Each of the Secured Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information except
that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by, as part of normal reporting or review procedures to, any Governmental Authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association
of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to its parent companies, Affiliates or auditors and to any other party hereto (so long as each
such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section), (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Financing Document, any action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement or any other Financing Document, the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder or any litigation or proceeding to which such Secured Party or any of its respective Affiliates may be a party, (vi) subject to an agreement
containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (1) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (2) any actual or
prospective party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives) surety, reinsurer, guarantor or credit liquidity enhancer (or their advisors) to or in connection
with any swap, derivative or other similar transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Obligations or to the Borrower and its obligations or to this

  

 105 

 
Agreement or payments hereunder, (3) to any rating agency, or (4) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, (vii) with the consent of the Borrower or (viii) to the
extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section. 
 (b) Certain of the
Secured Parties may enter into this Agreement and take or not take action hereunder or under the other Financing Documents on the basis of information that does not contain material non-public information with respect to any of the Borrower, the
Pledgor, the Sponsor or their Subsidiaries (“Restricting Information”). Other Lenders may enter into this Agreement and take or not take action hereunder or under the Financing Documents on the basis of information that may contain
Restricting Information. Each Secured Party acknowledges that United States federal and state securities laws prohibit any person from purchasing or selling securities on the basis of material, non-public information concerning the such issuer of
such securities or, subject to certain limited exceptions, from communicating such information to any other Person. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall, by making any Communications (including Restricting
Information) available to a Secured Party, by participating in any conversations or other interactions with a Secured Party or otherwise, make or be deemed to make any statement with regard to or otherwise warrant that any such information or
Communication does or does not contain Restricting Information nor shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties be responsible or liable in any way for any decision a Secured Party may make to limit or to not limit its access to
Restricting Information. In particular, none of the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties (i) shall have, and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and each of its Related Parties, hereby disclaims, any duty to ascertain
or inquire as to whether or not a Secured Party has or has not limited its access to Restricting Information, such Secured Party’s policies or procedures regarding the safeguarding of material, nonpublic information or such Secured Party’s
compliance with applicable laws related thereto or (ii) shall have, or incur, any liability to the Borrower, the Pledgor, the Sponsor or a Secured Party or any of their respective Related Parties arising out of or relating to the Administrative
Agent or any of its Related Parties providing or not providing Restricting Information to any Secured Party. 
 (c) The Borrower
agrees that (i) all Communications it provides to the Administrative Agent intended for delivery to the Secured Parties whether by posting to the Approved Electronic Platform or otherwise shall be clearly and conspicuously marked
“PUBLIC” if such Communications do not contain Restricting Information which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) by marking Communications
“PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties to treat such Communications as either publicly available information or not material information (although, in this latter case,
such Communications may contain sensitive business information and, therefore, remain subject to the confidentiality undertakings of Section 9.17) with respect to the Borrower and its affiliates or their securities for purposes of United
States Federal and state securities laws, (iii) all Communications marked “PUBLIC” may be delivered to all Secured Parties and may be made available through a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform designated “Public Side
Information,” and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Communications that are not marked “PUBLIC” as Restricting Information and may post such Communications to a portion of the Approved Electronic
Platform not designated “Public Side Information.” Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates shall be responsible for any statement

  

 106 

 
or other designation by the Borrower or any Affiliate regarding whether a Communication contains or does not contain material non-public information with respect to any of the Borrower, the
Pledgor, or the Sponsor or their securities nor shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates incur any liability to the Borrower, the Pledgor, the Sponsor, any Secured Party or any other Person for any action taken by the Administrative
Agent or any of its Affiliates based upon such statement or designation, including any action as a result of which Restricting Information is provided to a Secured Party that may decide not to access Restricting Information. Nothing in this
Section 9.17 shall modify or limit a Secured Party’s obligations under Section 9.18 with regard to Communications and the maintenance of the confidentiality of or other treatment of Information. 
 (d) Each Secured Party acknowledges that circumstances may arise that require it to refer to Communications that might contain Restricting
Information. Accordingly, each Secured Party agrees that it will nominate at least one designee to receive Communications (including Restricting Information) on its behalf and identify such designee (including such designee’s contact
information) on such Secured Party’s Administrative Questionnaire. Each Secured Party agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time of such Secured Party’s designee’s e-mail address to which notice of the availability of
Restricting Information may be sent by electronic transmission. 
 (e) Each Secured Party acknowledges that Communications
delivered hereunder and under the other Financing Documents may contain Restricting Information and that such Communications are available to all Secured Parties generally. Each Secured Party that elects not to take access to Restricting Information
does so voluntarily and, by such election, acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and other Secured Parties may have access to Restricting Information that is not available to such electing Secured Party. None of the Administrative
Agent nor any Secured Party with access to Restricting Information shall have any duty to disclose such Restricting Information to such electing Secured Party or to use such Restricting Information on behalf of such electing Secured Party, and shall
not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, such Restricting Information. 
 (f) The provisions of the foregoing
clauses of this Section 9.17 are designed to assist the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties and the Borrower in complying with their respective contractual obligations and applicable law in circumstances where certain Secured
Parties express a desire not to receive Restricting Information notwithstanding that certain Communications hereunder or under the other Financing Documents or other information provided to the Secured Parties hereunder or thereunder may contain
Restricting Information. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties warrants or makes any other statement with respect to the adequacy of such provisions to achieve such purpose nor does the Administrative Agent or any of its
Related Parties warrant or make any other statement to the effect that the Borrower’s and its Affiliates’ or Secured Party’s adherence to such provisions will be sufficient to ensure compliance by the Borrower or Secured Party with
its contractual obligations or its duties under applicable law in respect of Restricting Information and each of the Secured Parties and the Borrower assumes the risks associated therewith.

 Section 9.18 Communications. 
 (a) Delivery. 
 (i) The Borrower hereby agrees that it will use all reasonable efforts to provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and any other Financing Document, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication
that (A) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or interest period relating thereto), (B) relates to the payment of any principal
or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (C) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or (D) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the
effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications collectively, the “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium
in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent at the address referenced on Schedule 9.01. Nothing in this Section shall prejudice the right of the Arrangers, any Secured Party or the Borrower to give any notice or other
communication pursuant to this Agreement or any other Financing Document in any other manner specified in this Agreement or any other Financing Document. 
 (ii) The Administrative Agent agrees that receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at the email address referenced in Schedule 9.01 shall constitute effective delivery of the
Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Financing Documents. Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall
constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Financing Documents. Each Lender agrees (A) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such
Lender’s email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (B) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address. 
 (b) The Approved Electronic Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Communications, or
the adequacy of the Approved Electronic Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a
particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Approved Electronic Platform. In no event shall the Administrative
Agent or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents advisors or representatives (collectively, “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person or
entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s
transmission of communications through the internet, except to the

  

 108 

 
extent the liability of any Agent Party is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Agent Party’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct. 
 Section 9.19 Posting of Communication. 
 (a) Each of the Secured Parties and the Borrower agree that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the
Communications available to the Secured Parties by posting such Communications on IntraLinksTM or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved
Electronic Platform”). 
 (b) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with
generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and the Approved Electronic
Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Secured Parties and the Borrower and agrees that the distribution of
material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the
other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Secured Parties and the Borrower hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and
understands and assumes the risks of such distribution. 
 (c) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE
PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NONE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OTHER MEMBER OF THE AGENT’S GROUP WARRANT THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND
EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE AGENT PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. 
 (d) Each of the Secured Parties and the Borrower agree that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law)
shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies. 
 Section 9.20 Release of Liens. The Administrative Agent agrees to take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Borrower
and at the Borrower’s expense to terminate the Liens and security interests created by the Financing Documents when all the Obligations (excluding any contingent obligations) are paid in full and all Letters of Credit and Commitments are
terminated. 
  

 109 

 Section 9.21 U.S.A. Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that
pursuant to the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow the
Lenders to identify the Borrower in accordance with the U.S.A. Patriot Act. 
 Section 9.22 Limitation of Recourse.
There shall be full recourse to the Borrower and to all of its assets for the liabilities of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, but in no event shall the Sponsor or the Pledgor, or any officer, director or holder of
any equity interest in a Loan Party be personally liable or obligated for such liabilities and Obligations of the Borrower, except as may be expressly provided in any Financing Document to which the Sponsor or the Pledgor is a party. 
 Section 9.23 Separateness of the Borrower from Sponsor and its Subsidiaries. Each Lender Party acknowledges and affirms that
(i) it has advanced funds to or extended credit on behalf of the Borrower in reliance upon the separateness of the Borrower from the Sponsor and its Subsidiaries (other than the Borrower) and any other Persons and (ii) the
Borrower has assets and liabilities that are separate from those of the Sponsor and its Subsidiaries (other than the Borrower) and any other Persons.

 All existing and future Indebtedness

any such Indebtedness is owed: 
 (a) Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the
meanings provided in the Credit Agreement. For purposes of these terms of subordination (these “Subordination Terms”): 
 “Paid in Full” and “Payment in Full” shall mean, in respect of the Senior Debt, the payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt, other than any indemnity and similar
obligations which expressly survive termination of the Financing Documents. 
 “Senior Debt”
shall mean the Obligations. 
 “Subordination Period” shall mean the period from the Closing
Date until the date on which (i) all Senior Debt has been Paid in Full, (ii) all Commitments and other obligations of the Secured Parties have terminated and (iii) all Letters of Credit have been cancelled, terminated or cash

 (b) The Borrower (hereafter
the “Debtor”), for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each holder of the Indebtedness evidenced by [Describe subordinated debt documentation] (“Subordinated
Debt”) by its acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that the payment of the principal of, and interest on, and all other amounts owing in respect of, the Subordinated Debt is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in
the manner herein set forth, at all times during the Subordination Period, to the prior Payment in Full of all Senior Debt. The subordination provisions set forth herein shall constitute a continuing offer to all persons who, in reliance upon such
provisions, become holders of, or continue to hold, Senior Debt, and such provisions are made for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt, and such holders are hereby made obligees hereunder to the same extent as if their names were written herein
as such, and they and/or each of them may proceed to enforce such provisions as a third party beneficiary. 
 (c)
During the Subordination Period, the Debtor shall not, directly or indirectly, make or agree to make any payment (in cash or property, by set-off or otherwise) of or on account of, or any redemption or purchase of, any Subordinated Debt (or any
Indebtedness subordinated thereto), and no such payment, redemption or purchase shall be asked, demanded or sued for or otherwise taken, accepted or received by any holder of Subordinated Debt, in cash, by set-off or in any other manner,
unless (A) Completion shall have occurred, (B) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such proposed payment, redemption or

  

 D-1 

 
purchase and (C) the amount of such payment, redemption or purchase is permitted to be distributed at the time of the proposed payment, redemption or purchase under Section 6.08 of the
Credit Agreement and such payment, redemption or purchase is made from such distributed amount. 
 (d) Upon
(i) any acceleration of the principal amount due on any Subordinated Debt or (ii) any payment or distribution of assets of the Debtor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any dissolution or
winding up or total or partial liquidation or reorganization of the Debtor, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceedings, then and in any such event all principal and interest and all other
amounts due or to become due upon all Senior Debt (including, without limitation, all interest accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding at the rate provided in the Financing Documents whether
or not such interest is an allowed claim in such proceeding) shall first be Paid in Full and the Subordination Period shall have ended before any holder of Subordinated Debt shall be entitled to retain any assets so paid or distributed in respect of
the Subordinated Debt (for principal, interest or otherwise), and, upon any such dissolution or winding up or liquidation or reorganization, any payment or distribution of assets of the Debtor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or
securities, to which the holders of the Subordinated Debt would be entitled, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be paid by the Debtor or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person, corporation,
partnership or other entity making such payment or distribution, or by the holders of the Subordinated Debt if received by them, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the holders of Senior Debt or their representatives, to the extent
necessary to pay all Senior Debt in full in cash, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Debt, before any payment or distribution is made to the holders of the Subordinated Debt. 
 (e) The holders of the Subordinated Debt irrevocably authorize and empower (without imposing any obligation on) each holder
of Senior Debt and such holder’s representatives, under the circumstances set forth in paragraph (d) above, to demand, sue for, collect and receive every such payment or distribution described therein and give acquittance therefor, to file
claims and proofs of claims in any statutory or nonstatutory proceeding, to vote such Senior Debt holder’s ratable share of the full amount of the Subordinated Debt in its sole discretion in connection with any resolution, arrangement, plan of
reorganization, compromise, settlement or extension and to take all such other action (including, without limitation, the right to participate in any composition of creditors and the right to vote such Senior Debt holder’s ratable share of the
Subordinated Debt at creditors’ meetings for the election of trustees, acceptances of plans and otherwise), in the name of the holders of the Subordinated Debt or otherwise, as such Senior Debt holder or its representatives may deem necessary
or desirable for the enforcement of these Subordination Terms. The holders of the Subordinated Debt shall execute and deliver to each holder of Senior Debt and such Senior Debt holder’s representatives all such further instruments confirming
the foregoing authorization, and all such powers of attorney, proofs of claim, assignments of claim and other instruments, and shall take all such other actions as may be requested by such holder of Senior Debt or

  

 D-2 

 
such holder’s representatives in order to enable such holder or such representative to enforce all claims upon or in respect of such holder’s ratable share of the Subordinated Debt.

 (f) If any payment not permitted under these Subordination Terms is received by any holder of Subordinated
Debt on account of the Subordinated Debt during the Subordination Period, such payment shall not be commingled with any asset of such holder of Subordinated Debt, shall be held in trust by such holder of Subordinated Debt for the benefit of holders
of Senior Debt and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent, or its designated representative, for application (in accordance with the Financing Documents) to the payment of the Senior Debt then remaining unpaid, until all of the Senior Debt
is Paid in Full. 
 (g) During the Subordination Period, unless otherwise permitted under these Subordination
Terms, no holder of the Subordinated Debt shall, without the prior written consent of all of the holders of Senior Debt, have any right to demand payment of, accelerate the maturity of, or otherwise enforce any right or remedy, either at law or in
equity, in respect of any Subordinated Debt or commence or prosecute any action thereon during the Subordination Period. 
 (h) During the Subordination Period, no holder of Subordinated Debt shall, without the prior written consent of all the holders of Senior Debt, agree to any amendment, modification or supplement to the
Subordinated Debt, the effect of which is to (i) increase the maximum principal amount of the Subordinated Debt or increase the rate of interest on any of the Subordinated Debt, (ii) shorten the dates upon which payments of principal or
interest on the Subordinated Debt are due, (iii) change in a manner adverse to the Debtor or add any event of default or add or make more restrictive any covenant with respect to the Subordinated Debt (or the Financing Documents),
(iv) change the redemption, prepayment or put provisions of the Subordinated Debt, (v) subordinate the Subordinated Debt to any other debt, (vi) alter the repayment terms of the Subordinated Debt in a manner adverse to the Debtor or
(vii) take any liens on any collateral. 
 (i) During the Subordination Period, any liens of holders of
Subordinated Debt in the Collateral which may exist in breach of each Subordinated Debt holder’s agreement pursuant to clause (vii) of the preceding subsection (h) or subsection (j) of these Subordination Terms shall be and
hereby are subordinated for all purposes and in all respects to the liens of Collateral Agent in the Collateral, regardless of the time, manner or order of perfection of any such liens. In the event that any holder of Subordinated Debt obtains any
liens in the Collateral in violation of clause (vii) of the preceding subsection (h) or subsection (j) of these Subordination Terms, holders of Subordinated Debt (i) shall (or shall cause their agent) to promptly execute and/or
deliver to the Collateral Agent such termination statements and releases as the Collateral Agent shall request to effect the release of the liens of such holder of Subordinated Debt in such Collateral and (ii) shall be deemed to have authorized
the Collateral Agent to file any and all termination statements required by the Collateral Agent in respect of such liens. In furtherance of the foregoing, each holder of Subordinated Debt hereby irrevocably

  

 D-3 

 
appoints the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such holder of Subordinated Debt and in the name of such holder of Subordinated Debt or
otherwise, to execute and deliver any document or instrument which such holder of Subordinated Debt may be required to deliver pursuant to this subsection (i). 
 (j) During the Subordination Period, no holder of Subordinated Debt shall, and no such holder shall encourage any other party
to, contest the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Senior Debt or the Liens in the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Financing Documents or accept or take any collateral security for the Subordinated
Debt. 
 (k) During the Subordination Period, no holder of the Subordinated Debt shall, without the prior written
consent of all of the holders of the Senior Debt, commence or join with any other person, corporation, partnership or other entity in commencing any proceeding against the Debtor or any other person, corporation, partnership or other entity with
respect to the Subordinated Debt under any bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment of debt, dissolution, receivership, liquidation or insolvency law or statute now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction, nor shall any holder of the Subordinated
Debt, without the prior written consent of all of the holders of Senior Debt, participate in any assignment for benefit of creditors, compositions or arrangements with respect to the Debtor’s obligations with respect to the Subordinated Debt.

 (l) During the Subordination Period, no holder of Subordinated Debt shall sell, assign, dispose of or
otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt unless prior to the consummation of any such action, the transferor and transferee thereof shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a joinder to these Subordination Terms,
or an agreement substantially identical to these Subordination Terms, in either case providing for the continued subordination and forbearance of the Subordinated Debt to the Senior Debt as provided herein and for the continued effectiveness of all
of the rights of the Secured Parties arising under these Subordination Terms. Notwithstanding the failure to execute or deliver any such agreement or appoint any such agent, the subordination effected hereby shall survive any sale, assignment,
disposition or other transfer of all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt, and the Subordination Terms shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each holder of Subordinated Debt. 
 (m) During the Subordination Period, no payment or distribution to any holder of Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions
hereof shall entitle the holders of Subordinated Debt to exercise any right of subrogation in respect thereof. After the Subordination Period, the holders of the Subordinated Debt shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with the holders of all
indebtedness of the Debtor that by its express terms is subordinated to Senior Debt to the same extent as the Subordinated Debt is subordinated and that is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of Senior Debt to
receive payments or distributions of assets of the Debtor made on the Senior Debt until the Subordinated Debt shall be paid in full; provided that nothing herein contained shall be intended to assign or grant to any holder of Subordinated
Debt, or subrogate any such holder to, any right of a holder of Senior Debt as a mortgagee, secured party or other lien or pledgeholder of any property of the Debtor that secures any Senior Debt. 
  

 D-4 

 (n) The above provisions are not intended to impair as between the Debtor,
its creditors other than the holders of Senior Debt, and the holders of the Subordinated Debt, the obligation of the Debtor, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the holders of the Subordinated Debt, as and when the same shall become due
and payable in accordance with its terms, principal and interest thereon, subject to the rights of the holders of Senior Debt as provided in these Subordination Terms, or to affect the relative rights of the holders of the Subordinated Debt and
creditors of the Debtor other than the holders of Senior Debt. 
 (o) Application of these Subordination Terms to
the Subordinated Debt, the subordination effected thereby and the rights of the holders of the Senior Debt shall not be affected by (i) any amendment of or addition or supplement to any Financing Document or any Senior Debt or any instrument or
agreement relating thereto or providing collateral security for any Senior Debt, (ii) any exercise or non-exercise of any right, power or remedy under or in respect of any Financing Document or any Senior Debt or any instrument or agreement
relating thereto, or any release of any collateral securing any Senior Debt, or (iii) any waiver, consent, release, indulgence, extension, renewal, modification, delay or any other action, inaction or omission in respect of any Financing
Document or any Senior Debt or any instrument or agreement relating thereto or providing collateral security for any Senior Debt, in each case, whether or not any holders of any Subordinated Debt shall have had notice or knowledge of any of the
foregoing. 
 (p) Each and every right, remedy and power granted to the Secured Parties hereunder shall be
cumulative and in addition to any other right, remedy or power specifically granted herein, in the Financing Documents or now or hereafter existing in equity, at law, by virtue of statute or otherwise, and may be exercised by the Secured Parties,
from time to time, concurrently or independently and as often and in such order as the Secured Parties may deem expedient. Any failure or delay on the part of the Secured Parties in exercising any such right, remedy or power, or abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce the same, shall not operate as a waiver thereof or affect the Secured Parties’ right thereafter to exercise the same, and any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy or power shall not preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy or power, and no such failure, delay, abandonment or single or partial exercise of the Secured Parties’ rights hereunder shall be deemed to establish a custom or
course of dealing or performance among the parties hereto. 
 (q) The following provision shall at all times be
part of each instrument or debt security evidencing or representing any Subordinated Debt: 
 “The principal of and interest
on the indebtedness evidenced hereby are postponed, subordinated and junior in right of payment to certain “Senior Debt,” as defined in the [identify these Subordination Terms], on the

  

 D-5 

 
terms set forth in such Subordination Terms. The provisions of such Subordination Terms used therein are hereby incorporated herein as if set forth at length herein. Each subsequent holder and
transferee hereof shall be bound, to the extent of its interest herein, by the obligations set forth in such provisions applicable to a holder hereof.” 
 (r) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Subordination Terms or the agreement into which they are incorporated,
these Subordination Terms may be waived, modified, amended or otherwise changed only if and as set forth in a written agreement signed by the parties hereto and all of the holders of Senior Debt. 
 (s) Each holder of Subordinated Debt, at any time after its execution and delivery of these Subordination Terms, shall,
promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and at the Debtor’s expense, execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may reasonably
request in order to effect fully the purposes of these Subordination Terms. 
 (t) The Debtor shall furnish to
the Administrative Agent, upon demand, a statement of the Indebtedness owing from the Debtor to the holders of Subordinated Debt, and shall give the Administrative Agent access to the books of the Debtor in accordance with the Credit Agreement so
that the Administrative Agent can make a full examination of the status of such Indebtedness. 
 (u) These
Subordination Terms shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. 
 (v) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York
County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Subordination Terms, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final
judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Any third party beneficiary may bring any action or proceeding relating to these
Subordination Terms in any court of competent jurisdiction. 
 (w) Each party hereto, for itself and its
successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, (i) any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to these Subordination Terms in any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York County and (ii) the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court. 
  

 D-6 

 (x) Each party hereto, for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right to trial by jury of any action, claim, demand or proceeding arising under or with respect to these Subordination Terms or in any way connected with, related to or incidental to the dealings between
them with respect to these Subordination Terms or the transactions related thereto, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise.

	 	Re:	Trans-Allegheny Interstate Line Company – Independent Engineer’s Certificate 

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 The
undersigned, a duly authorized officer of R.W. Beck, Inc. (the “Independent Engineer”), hereby provides this letter to you in accordance with Section 4.01(m)(i) of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of
August 15, 2008 (the “Credit Agreement”), among Trans-Allegheny Interstate Line Company, a Maryland and Virginia corporation (the “Borrower”), Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (together with any
successor administrative agent, the “Administrative Agent”), Union Bank of California, N.A., as Collateral Agent (together with any successor collateral agent, the “Collateral Agent”), Citigroup Global Markets Inc.
and BNP Paribas Securities Corp., as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Managers (the “Arrangers”), BNP Paribas, as Issuing Bank (together with any successor issuing banks, the “Issuing Bank”), The Bank of Nova
Scotia, as Syndication Agent, Bank of America, N.A., as Documentation Agent, and the Lenders party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders,” and collectively with the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Issuing Bank,
the “Secured Parties”). 
 The Independent Engineer acknowledges that pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the
Lenders and the Issuing Bank will be providing financing to the Borrower and in so doing will be relying on this Independent Engineer’s Certificate and the Independent Engineer’s report titled “Independent Engineer’s Report,
TrAIL Transmission Line and Certain Other Facilities,” dated August 15, 2008 (the “Independent Engineer’s Report”). 
 The Independent Engineer’s Report was prepared pursuant to the scope of services under our Professional Services Agreement with the Borrower and those services were provided in accordance with
generally accepted engineering practices. 
 In connection with the preparation of the Independent Engineer’s Report,
personnel of the Independent Engineer have participated in meetings or telephone discussions with representatives of the Borrower and affiliates thereof, counsel to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, counsel to the Administrative Agent, and the
Arrangers in regard to the TrAIL Transmission Line and certain other facilities located in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Virginia (the “Project”). 

 The Independent Engineer certifies to the Secured Parties that (i) attached hereto as
Exhibit A is a copy of the Independent Engineer’s Report, (ii) the Independent Engineer’s Report represents the Independent Engineer’s professional opinion as of the date thereof and (iii) the Independent
Engineer’s Report was prepared in accordance with generally accepted consulting practices. Further, the Independent Engineer confirms to the Secured Parties, to the best of its knowledge, as of the date of the Independent Engineer’s
Report, the evaluations, estimates, projections, conclusions and recommendations contained in the Independent Engineer’s Report. 
 For purposes of this Independent Engineer’s Certificate, the Independent Engineer has, at the request of the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, carried out certain limited procedures for the period commencing
[                    ], 2008 [the day after the date of the Report] and ending on
[                    ], 2008 [the date of this certificate], consisting solely of the making of inquiries of the Borrower and
affiliates thereof, and [all principal Project participants which have provided us with verification letters which include bring-down statements], as to whether there has been any material change in the information provided by them, and upon
which the Independent Engineer relied, for purposes of the Independent Engineer’s Report. These procedures would not be sufficient under generally accepted engineering practices to enable the Independent Engineer to express an opinion as to the
matters covered by the Independent Engineer’s Report and would not necessarily reveal matters of significance with respect to the statement in the last sentence of this paragraph. The Independent Engineer, therefore, expresses no opinion as to
the matters covered by the Independent Engineer’s Report as of any date subsequent to the date of the Independent Engineer’s Report and makes no representations as to the sufficiency of the foregoing procedures for the Administrative
Agent’s and the Arrangers’ purposes. Nothing has come to the attention of the Independent Engineer as a result of the foregoing procedures, however, that caused the Independent Engineer to believe that, as of the date to which the
procedures were carried out, the opinions of the Independent Engineer set forth in the Independent Engineer’s Report were not correct. 
 This Independent Engineer’s Certificate is solely for the information of, and assistance to, the Secured Parties in conducting and documenting their investigation of the matters covered by the
Independent Engineer’s Report in connection with the Project and is not to be used, circulated, quoted, or otherwise referred to within or without the lending group for any other purpose, nor is it to be referred to in whole or in part in any
other document, except that reference may be made to it in the above-mentioned Credit Agreement and it may be included and referred to in the syndication materials provided to the prospective lenders and the closing documents pertaining to the
Project. 
 The Independent Engineer confirms that the Secured Parties shall be permitted to rely on this Independent
Engineer’s Certificate and, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Independent Engineer’s Report applicable to reliance thereon by such parties, to rely on the Independent Engineer’s Report. The Independent Engineer
disclaims any obligation to update this Independent Engineer’s Certificate. This Independent Engineer’s Certificate is not intended to, and may not, be relied upon by any party other than the Secured Parties.

context otherwise requires, the rules of interpretation set forth in (a) Section 1.02(a) through (f) of the TrAILCo Credit Agreement and (b) Section 1.02(c) of the Sponsor Credit Agreement, as in effect as of the date

 ARTICLE II.

 OBLIGATIONS OF SPONSOR 
 Section 2.01 Equity Contributions. 
 (a) Contributions by
Sponsor. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, the Sponsor hereby agrees, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, as follows: 
 (i) The Sponsor shall make, or cause to be made through one or more of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, Equity
Contributions to the Borrower (A) as necessary to maintain the Maximum Debt to Equity Ratio at all times and (B) from and after the date on which the proceeds of the Loans have been fully utilized, as necessary to pay all Project Costs as
they are incurred (each such Equity Contribution, in the case of clause (A) or (B), a “Project Cost Funding Contribution”), until an amount equal to the Project Equity Commitment less the Reserve Equity Amount has been
fully funded. Each such Project Cost Funding Contribution shall be made not fewer than two Business Days prior to the date on which such Project Costs are reasonably expected to become due and payable. As of the Closing Date, the Sponsor has made
Equity Contributions equal to $129,940,628, which shall reduce the Project Equity Commitment and the Remaining Equity Commitment. 
  

 6 

 (ii) The Sponsor shall make, or cause to be made through one or more of its
direct or indirect subsidiaries, Equity Contributions to the Borrower in an amount equal to SFF Costs as they are incurred (each such Equity Contribution, an “SFF Funding Contribution”) until the SFF Equity Commitment is funded up
to the maximum amount of $250,000,000. Each such SFF Funding Contribution shall be made not fewer than two Business Days prior to the date on which such SFF Costs are reasonably expected to become due and payable. 
 (iii) The Sponsor shall make, or cause to be made through one or more of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, on or before
the Completion Date, an Equity Contribution to the Borrower in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) an amount sufficient to cause the Debt to Equity Ratio to equal, as of the Completion Date, 1:1 and (B) the then-current unfunded
Project Equity Commitment (such Equity Contribution, the “Completion Date Funding Contribution”). 
 (iv) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Sponsor shall (subject to the following sentence) make, or cause to be made through one or more of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, an Equity Contribution to the Borrower in an amount
equal to the Remaining Equity Commitment (such Equity Contribution, a “Default Funding Contribution”). Such Default Funding Contribution shall be made not more than two Business Days after receipt by the Sponsor of notice from the
Administrative Agent that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and demanding that the Sponsor make, or cause to be made, the Default Funding Contribution; provided, however, that if an Event of Default under
Section 7.01(h) of the TrAILCo Credit Agreement occurs, then such amount shall be due and payable immediately, without notice of any kind. 
 (b) Treatment of Proceeds. Equity Contributions made pursuant to Section 2.01(a) shall be deposited or transferred by the Sponsor as follows: 
 (i) The proceeds of each Project Cost Funding Contribution and each SFF Funding Contribution shall be transferred directly to
the TrAILCo Operating Account. 
 (ii) The proceeds of any Completion Date Funding Contribution and any Default
Funding Contribution shall be transferred directly to the TrAILCo Operating Account, provided that, if for any reason (including due to any Legal Requirement), such amount cannot be transferred to such account, the Sponsor shall cause such
amount to be transferred to the Administrative Agent to be applied in accordance with Section 2.09(b) of the TrAILCo Credit Agreement. 
 Notwithstanding that the Equity Contributions of the Sponsor may be transferred directly to the Administrative Agent, any and all Equity Contributions made by the Sponsor in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to be Equity
Contributions by the Sponsor (or its direct or

  

 7 

 
indirect subsidiary) to the Borrower. Within 15 days following the end of each calendar month, the Sponsor shall provide the Administrative Agent written notice of any Equity Contributions made
during such calendar month, including the amounts of such Equity Contributions. Except as provided herein, all Equity Contributions shall be made without set-off or counterclaim. 
 (c) Maximum Contribution Amount; Increases and Decreases in Equity Commitment. 
 (i) Subject to Section 3.01, in no event shall the Equity Contributions required to be made by the Sponsor pursuant to
this Agreement, when taken together with all purchases of undivided participating interests under Section 4.01, exceed the then-current Remaining Equity Commitment. 
 (ii) The Equity Commitment may be increased, at any time, by the Sponsor delivering to the Collateral Agent and the
Administrative Agent a Commitment Increase Amendment. 
 (iii) If, at any time, FERC or any other Governmental
Authority requires the Borrower to refund all or any portion of any Project Receipt Payment (any such required refund a “Receipt Payment Refund”) previously applied to reduce the amount of the Project Equity Commitment and/or the
Remaining Equity Commitment, then the Project Equity Commitment and/or the Remaining Equity Commitment shall automatically increase by the amount of such Receipt Payment Refund made by the Borrower (without duplication of Receipt Payment Refunds
that limit the reduction of the Project Equity Commitment pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(iv)). 
 (iv) If the
Borrower (A) has designated all or any portion of the Prexy Segment, the Virginia Segment or the Jointly Owned Segment as an Excluded Portion (and such portion qualifies as an “Excluded Portion” pursuant to the terms of the TrAILCo
Credit Agreement), (B) has reduced the Lenders’ Construction Loan commitments by an amount equal to (1) the Allocated Loan Amount for such Segment minus (2) the Excluded Portion Loan Amount for such Segment,
provided that if less than all of such Segment is designated as an Excluded Portion, then such reduction shall be made in proportion to the amount budgeted for such Excluded Portion relative to the Allocated Loan Amount for such Segment (as
certified by the Borrower and confirmed by the Independent Engineer), (C) has certified that it shall not spend any further funds on such Excluded Portion (provided that, the Borrower may, at a later date, determine to make additional
expenditures in respect of such Excluded Portion with the proceeds of equity contributions if such Excluded Portion meets the criteria for a Separately Financed Facility) and (D) cannot reasonably be expected to be required by FERC or any other
Governmental Authority to continue construction or to decommission (or otherwise perform any other remediation), in each case with respect to such Excluded Portion, then the Project Equity Commitment may be reduced by (X) the portion of the
total Project Equity Commitment (including any contingency associated therewith) allocable to such Excluded Portion, such portion to be determined based on the amount budgeted for such Excluded Portion (including any contingency associated
therewith) in the Project Budget relative to the total Project Budget less (Y) the sum of (1) the Excluded Portion Loan

  

 8 

 
Amount for such Excluded Portion plus (2) the amount of any Receipt Payment Refund made by the Borrower and not previously used in calculating an adjustment to the Project Equity
Commitment with respect to another Excluded Portion pursuant to this Section 2.01(c)(iv) plus (3) the amount of Equity Contributions already contributed or deemed contributed in connection with such Excluded Portion. For the
avoidance of doubt, if less than all of a Segment is designated as an Excluded Portion, then such reduction shall be made in proportion to the total Project Equity Commitment (including any contingency associated therewith) allocable to such portion
of the Segment, such portion to be determined based on the amount budgeted for such portion of such Segment (including any contingency associated therewith) relative to the total Project Equity Commitment (including any contingency associated
therewith) allocable to such Segment (as certified by the Borrower and confirmed by the Independent Engineer). Such reduction of the Project Equity Commitment shall be made by the Sponsor delivering to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative
Agent a Commitment Decrease Amendment. 
 (v) For any Separately Financed Facility for which the Sponsor is
obligated to make equity contributions to the Borrower, if the Borrower has (A) certified that it shall not spend any further funds on such Separately Financed Facility and (B) cannot reasonably be expected to be required by FERC or any
other Governmental Authority to continue construction or to decommission (or otherwise perform any other remediation), in each case with respect to such Separately Financed Facility, then the SFF Equity Commitment may be reduced by the equity amount
allocated to such Separately Financed Facility, less the amount already spent on such Separately Financed Facility. Such reduction of the SFF Equity Commitment shall be made by the Sponsor delivering to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative
Agent a Commitment Decrease Amendment. 
 (d) Interim Equity Contributions. If the Sponsor makes Equity Contributions
during any period when Loans are not available to the Borrower for use to pay Project Costs for any Segment because the Borrower has not obtained Siting Approval for such Segment and has drawn up to the Approved Limit for such Segment, and such
Equity Contributions are applied to pay Project Costs for such Segment, then such Equity Contributions shall be deemed to be “Interim Equity Contributions” and shall not reduce the Remaining Equity Commitment (nor shall they be
credited to reduce the Sponsor’s Project Equity Commitment or SFF Equity Commitment); provided, however, that if the Borrower subsequently obtains Siting Approval for such Segment, then the Sponsor shall be credited with having
made Equity Contributions that reduce the Remaining Equity Commitment (and that shall be credited toward the Sponsor’s Project Equity Commitment) in an amount equal to such Interim Equity Contributions less any amounts distributed to the
Sponsor or any of its Affiliates with the proceeds of Loans made to reimburse the Sponsor for a portion of such Interim Equity Contributions in accordance with the terms of the TrAILCo Credit Agreement (including the requirement that the Borrower
maintain the Maximum Debt to Equity Ratio). 
 Section 2.02 Late Payments. In the event that any Equity Contribution
is not made on the date such Equity Contribution is required to be made hereunder, the amount of such delinquent Equity Contribution shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to 2% plus the

  

 9 

 
interest rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans as provided in Section 2.12(a) of the TrAILCo Credit Agreement until such time as such Equity Contribution is deposited in the TrAILCo
Operating Account or transferred to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.01. 
 Section 2.03
Waiver of Defenses; Obligations Unconditional. 
 (a) Waiver of Defenses. To the extent permitted by applicable
Legal Requirements, the Sponsor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives and relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by applicable Legal Requirements to sureties or guarantors and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such rights
or remedies, including (i) any right to require the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to proceed against the Borrower or any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party
at any time or to pursue any other remedy in the Collateral Agent’s or any Secured Party’s power before proceeding against the Sponsor, (ii) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of power or authority, death,
dissolution, merger, termination or disability of the Borrower or any other person or the failure of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other
proceeding) of the Borrower or any other person, (iii) demand, presentment, protest and notice of any kind (other than any notice required pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement), including notice of the existence, creation or
incurring of any new or additional Indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, the Secured Parties, any endorser or creditor of the foregoing or on the part of any other person under
this or any other instrument in connection with any obligation or evidence of Indebtedness held by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party as collateral or in connection with any of the Obligations, (iv) any defense based upon an election of
remedies by the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties, including an election to proceed by non-judicial rather than judicial foreclosure, which destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of the Sponsor, the right of the Sponsor to
proceed against the Borrower or another person for reimbursement, or both, (v) any defense based on any offset against any amounts which may be owed by any person to the Sponsor or the Borrower for any reason whatsoever, (vi) any defense
based on any act, failure to act, delay or omission whatsoever on the part of the Borrower or the failure by the Borrower to do any act or thing or to observe or perform any covenant, condition or agreement to be observed or performed by the
Borrower under the Construction Contract, the TrAILCo Credit Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (vii) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount
nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal, (viii) any defense, setoff or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or asserted by the Borrower against the Collateral Agent, the Secured Parties or any other person
under the Construction Contract, the TrAILCo Credit Agreement or the other Transaction Document, (ix) any duty on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to disclose to the Sponsor any facts the Collateral Agent or any Secured
Party may now or hereafter know about the Borrower, regardless of whether the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which the Sponsor intends to assume, or have
reason to believe that such facts are unknown to the Sponsor, or have a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to the Sponsor, since the Sponsor acknowledges that the Sponsor is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the
financial condition of the Borrower, (x) any defense based on any change in the time,

  

 10 

 
manner or place of any payment under, or in any other term of, the Construction Contract, the TrAILCo Credit Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other amendment, renewal,
extension, acceleration, compromise or waiver of or any consent or departure from the terms of the Construction Contract, the TrAILCo Credit Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (xi) any defense arising because of the Collateral
Agent’s or any Secured Party’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (xii) any defense based upon any borrowing or grant of a
security interest under Section 364 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and (xiii) any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party
that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, any guarantor or surety (in each of the foregoing cases other than, subject to Section 3.01, defense of payment of the applicable amounts). 
 (b) Obligations Unconditional. All rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and all obligations of the Sponsor
hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: 
 (i) any lack of validity, legality or
enforceability of the TrAILCo Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Financing Document; 
 (ii) the
failure of any Secured Party (i) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Borrower, the Sponsor or any other Person (including any guarantor) under the provisions of the Construction Contract, the TrAILCo
Credit Agreement, any other Financing Document or otherwise, or (ii) to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of, or collateral securing, any of the Obligations; 
 (iii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all of the Obligations, or any other
extension or renewal of any Obligation of the Borrower, the Sponsor or otherwise; 
 (iv) any reduction,
limitation, impairment or termination of any of the Obligations for any reason other than the written agreement of the Secured Parties to terminate the Obligations in full, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise,
and shall not be subject to, and the Sponsor hereby waives any right to or claim of, any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise,
unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Obligation of the Borrower, the Sponsor or otherwise; 
 (v) any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms of the Construction Contract, the TrAILCo Credit Agreement, this Agreement (other
than to the extent such amendment, rescission, waiver, modification or consent to departure from the terms of this Agreement is made in accordance with the terms hereof and expressly modifies the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured
Parties or the obligations of the Sponsor hereunder) or any other Transaction Document; 
  

 11 

 (vi) any addition, exchange, release, surrender or non-perfection of any
Collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or release or addition of, or consent to departure from, any other security interest held by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party; or 
 (vii) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of
the Borrower, the Sponsor, any surety or any guarantor (in each of the foregoing cases other than the defense, subject to Section 3.01, of payment of the applicable amounts). 
 Section 2.04 Incremental Facility. Each time any New Construction Commitment is established pursuant to Section 2.19 of the
Credit Agreement, the Sponsor shall, concurrently therewith, make an Equity Contribution to the Borrower in an amount equal to (x) such New Construction Commitment minus (y) the amount of Project Receipt Payments not previously applied to
reduce Equity Contributions hereunder net of all accounts payable in respect of Project Costs during the next 45-day period (for the avoidance of doubt, the amount calculated pursuant to this clause (y) shall not be less than zero). 

Section 2.05 Subrogation. So long as any of the Obligations remain outstanding (other than those contingent Obligations that
are intended to survive the termination of, as applicable, the TrAILCo Credit Agreement, the other Financing Documents or any other applicable documents), (a) the Sponsor shall not have any right of subrogation and the Sponsor waives all rights
to enforce any remedy which the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties now have or may hereafter have against the Borrower or AET that arises hereunder or from the performance by the Sponsor hereunder, and waives the benefit of, and all
rights to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) from the Borrower or AET, and (b) the Sponsor waives any claim, right or remedy which the Sponsor may now have or
hereafter acquire against the Borrower or AET that arises hereunder or from the performance by the Sponsor hereunder, including any claim, remedy or right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, or participation in
any claim, right or remedy of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties against Borrower or AET or any security or collateral which the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties now have or hereafter acquire, whether or not such claim,
right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise. Any amount paid to the Sponsor on account of any such subrogation rights prior to the payment in full in cash of the Obligations and the termination of all
Commitments and other obligations of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties (other than those contingent Obligations that are intended to survive the termination of, as applicable, the TrAILCo Credit Agreement, the other Financing
Documents or any other applicable documents) shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall immediately thereafter be paid to the Collateral Agent for application in accordance with this Agreement and the TrAILCo Credit
Agreement. 
 ARTICLE III. 
 SPECIFIC PROVISIONS 
 Section 3.01 Reinstatement. This
Agreement and the Obligations of the Sponsor hereunder shall automatically be reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment

  

 12 

 
made pursuant to this Agreement is rescinded or otherwise restored to the Sponsor, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise with respect to Borrower or
any other person or as a result of any settlement or compromise with any person (including the Sponsor) in respect of such payment, and the Sponsor shall pay the Collateral Agent on demand all of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and
expenses (including reasonable and documented fees of outside counsel) incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with such rescission or restoration. 
 Section 3.02 Specific Performance. The Sponsor hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent the Sponsor may do so under applicable Legal Requirements, any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy
at law that may be asserted as a bar to the remedy of specific performance in any action brought against the Sponsor for specific performance of this Agreement by the Collateral Agent or any successor or assign thereof or for its benefit by a
receiver, custodian or trustee appointed for the Borrower or in respect of all or a substantial part of its assets, under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of any jurisdiction to which the Borrower or its assets are subject. 
 Section 3.03 Commencement of Bankruptcy Proceedings. None of the obligations of the Sponsor under this Agreement shall be
altered, limited or affected by any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership, liquidation or arrangement of the Borrower or the Sponsor, or by any defense which the Borrower or the
Sponsor may have by reason of any order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding. 
 Section 3.04 Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable Legal Requirements or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the failure of the Sponsor to make any Equity
Contribution as and when required hereunder, the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the Sponsor or to any other person, any such notice being
hereby expressly waived, to set-off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) at any time held by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party (including by branches and agencies of the Collateral Agent and each Secured
Party wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Sponsor, against and on account of the obligations of the Sponsor under this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party shall have made any
demand hereunder. 
 ARTICLE IV. 
 PURCHASE OF PARTICIPATING INTEREST 
 Section 4.01 Required Purchase
of Participating Interest. If by reason of any act of a Governmental Authority or as a result of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates being Insolvent, (a) any Equity Contribution due hereunder has not been deposited in the TrAILCo
Operating Account or paid to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, within five Business Days after the date on which such amount is payable hereunder, or (b) any Equity Contribution theretofore deposited pursuant to Article II is rescinded
or otherwise restored to the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates and five Business Days have elapsed after the date that such Equity Contribution was rescinded or otherwise restored (such Equity Contribution, whether required but not made as provided
in clause (a) or made and returned as provided in clause (b), being

  

 13 

 
herein called the “Defaulted Payment”), the Sponsor shall, upon notice or demand by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, purchase an undivided participating interest in
each of the Loans which shall then be outstanding, as provided in the following sentence, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of the Defaulted Payment. The Sponsor’s purchase of an undivided participating interest in such Loans
shall be made pro rata among such Loans based on the respective outstanding amounts thereof. The Sponsor shall effect its purchase of undivided participating interests in such Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01 by paying to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the holders of such Loans, in immediately available funds in Dollars, the amount of the Defaulted Payment and by entering into the documentation required for participations in or assignments of the Loans, as
set forth in the TrAILCo Credit Agreement. 
 Section 4.02 Effect of Purchase of Participating Interest. The
Sponsor’s purchase of an undivided participating interest in the Loans in the full amount (if any) required pursuant to Section 4.01 following a Defaulted Payment in respect of Equity Contributions, shall satisfy the Sponsor’s
obligation pursuant to Section 2.01 to make Equity Contributions to the extent of the amount of such Loans so purchased by the Sponsor. 
 Section 4.03 Subordinate Nature of Participating Interest. The Sponsor hereby agrees that its participating interest in the Loans purchased by the Sponsor pursuant to Section 4.01 shall
be subordinate in all respects to the interest in such Loans retained by the holders (other than the Sponsor) thereof (the “Retained Interest”), so that all payments received or collected on account of such Loans and applied to the
payment or termination thereof, whether received or collected through repayment of such Loans by the Borrower or through right of set-off with respect thereto or realization upon any collateral security therefor or otherwise, shall first be applied
to the payment of the principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due (whether at its stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) on the Retained Interest until such principal, interest, fees and other amounts are paid in full, before any
such payments are applied on account of the Sponsor’s participating interest (if any) in such Loans. 
 Section 4.04
Rights of Agents and the Secured Parties. Notwithstanding the purchase and ownership by the Sponsor of participating interests in the Loans, and notwithstanding the rights of participants under the TrAILCo Credit Agreement, the Collateral
Agent and, to the extent permitted, each Secured Party shall have the right, in their sole discretion in each instance and without any notice to the Sponsor, (a) to agree to the modification or waiver of any of the terms of any of the Financing
Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (but not to reduce any amount payable in respect of the portion of the Loans subject to participations purchased pursuant to Section 4.01), (b) to consent to any action or
failure to act by the Borrower, the Sponsor or any other person party to a Financing Document and (c) to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights or remedies which the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may have under the Financing
Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, including the right at any time to declare, or refrain from declaring, the Obligations due and payable upon the occurrence of any Event of Default thereunder, and to rescind and annul
any such declaration, and to foreclose and sell or exercise any other remedy, or refrain from foreclosing and selling or exercising any other remedy, with respect to any Collateral securing the Obligations. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any
Secured Party shall be

  

 14 

 
liable to the Sponsor for any error in judgment or for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Sponsor while the Sponsor holds a participating interest in the Loans, except to the extent
found in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such person. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any duty or
responsibility to provide the Sponsor with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower or any other party to a Financing Document or which may come into their possession or the possession
of any of their respective Affiliates, or to notify the Sponsor of any default by the Borrower or any other person under any of the Financing Documents. 
 Section 4.05 No Voting Rights. Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 4.04, in determining whether the required consent of the Lenders (or any portion thereof) has
been obtained for all purposes under the Financing Documents the participating interests in the Loans purchased by the Sponsor pursuant to Section 4.01 shall not be deemed to be outstanding. 
 Section 4.06 Outright Purchase; Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Sponsor under this Article IV to purchase
participating interests in the Loans is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or any other circumstance, including any circumstance of the nature described in Section 2.03.

 ARTICLE V. 
 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 The Sponsor hereby represents and warrants
as of the Closing Date and, for each of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.03(b), 5.06, 5.08, 5.09 and 5.13 as of each Credit Event Date, to and in favor of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties that: 
 Section 5.01 Corporate Existence and Business. The Sponsor (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and (b) has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. 
 Section 5.02 Organization; Power and Authority. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Sponsor, and this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Sponsor, enforceable against the Sponsor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability
may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 
 Section 5.03 Disclosures. 
 (a) The Information Memorandum fairly describes, in all material respects, the general nature of the business of the Sponsor. The documents,
certificates or other writings delivered to the Lenders by or on behalf of the Sponsor regarding the Sponsor, including

  

 15 

 
information regarding the Sponsor set forth in the Information Memorandum, taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to
make the statements therein (taken as a whole) not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. There is no fact known to the Sponsor that could reasonably be expected to have a “Material Adverse Effect”
(as defined in the TrAILCo Credit Agreement) that has not been set forth in the Information Memorandum, the Financing Documents or in the other documents, certificates and other writings delivered by or on behalf of the Sponsor or the Borrower.

 (b) Since December 31, 2007, there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business or properties of
the Sponsor except changes that individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 5.04 Financial Statements. The financial statements of the Sponsor (including the related schedules and notes) delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the TrAILCo Credit Agreement fairly present in
all material respects the financial position of the Sponsor, as of their respective dates and the results of its operations and cash flows for the respective periods then ended and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied
throughout the periods involved except as set forth in the notes thereto (subject, in the case of any interim financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes). 
 Section 5.05 No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by the Sponsor of this Agreement will not (a) result in
the creation of any Lien (other than any Permitted Lien) in respect of any property of the Sponsor or (b) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court,
arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to the Sponsor. 
 Section 5.06 Authorization; Enforceable
Obligations. No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other third party is required in connection with the due execution, delivery, recordation, filing or performance by
the Sponsor, or the validity or enforceability as to the Sponsor, of this Agreement, except for authorizations, approvals, actions, notices and filings which have been duly obtained, taken, given or made, are in full force and effect, are held in
its name, and are free from any conditions or requirements that have not been satisfied, and are required to be satisfied, on or prior to the dates as of which this representation and warranty is made or reaffirmed. 
 Section 5.07 Execution and Delivery. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Sponsor. 
 Section 5.08 Ownership Interests. The Sponsor indirectly owns 100% of the ownership interests in the Borrower. 
 Section 5.09 No Litigation or Proceeding. 
 (a) Subject to Section 5.09(b), there is no action, suit, investigation, litigation or proceeding, including any Environmental Action, which has commenced against the Sponsor or any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties to the knowledge of the Sponsor or to its knowledge, pending (but not yet commenced) against or threatened against, the Sponsor

  

 16 

 
or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties before any Governmental Authority that (i) except for Disclosed Matters, if adversely determined, could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (other than matters described on Schedule 5.09 (the “Disclosed Litigation”)) or (ii) affects or could reasonably be expected to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of this
Agreement or the performance by the Sponsor of its obligations hereunder. 
 (b) To the extent that the representation and
warranty in Section 5.09(a) conforms to the representation and warranty in Section 4.01(e) of the Sponsor Credit Agreement or any other provision of any Sponsor Financing Document, if such corresponding representation and warranty in such
Sponsor Financing Document is amended, supplemented, restated, waived or otherwise modified (whether in connection with an amendment, supplement, restatement, waiver or other modification of, or a replacement of, such Sponsor Financing Document,
including as a result of a refinancing transaction), then Section 5.09(a) shall be deemed to be amended, supplemented, restated, waived, modified or replaced such that it conforms to the corresponding representation and warranty in such Sponsor
Financing Document (after giving effect to such amendment, supplement, restatement, waiver, modification or replacement). For the avoidance of doubt, if, as a result of this provision, the representation and warranty contained in
Section 5.09(a) as of the date of this Agreement is deemed to have been deleted and a subsequent amendment of, supplement to, other modification of or replacement of any Sponsor Financing Document contains a representation and warranty that
clearly corresponds to such deleted representation and warranty, then such deleted representation and warranty shall be deemed to be reinstated (such that it conforms to the corresponding representation and warranty as in effect in the then current

 (a) Existing Covenants. To the extent that any covenant set forth in Section 6.01, 6.02 or 6.03 conforms to a corresponding
covenant in the Sponsor Credit Agreement or any other Sponsor Financing Document, if such corresponding covenant in such Sponsor Financing Document is amended, supplemented, restated, waived or otherwise modified (whether in connection with an
amendment, supplement, restatement, waiver or other modification of, or a replacement of, such Sponsor Financing Document, including as a result of a refinancing transaction), then the relevant covenant in this Agreement shall be deemed to be
amended, supplemented, restated, waived, modified or replaced such that it conforms to the corresponding covenant in such Sponsor Financing Document (after giving effect to such amendment, supplement, restatement, waiver, modification or

respectively, as applicable, or any other applicable covenant that corresponds to such covenant in any successor Sponsor Financing Document. 
 (c) New Covenants. To the extent that any covenant is added as a covenant in the Sponsor Credit Agreement or any other Sponsor Financing Document after the date hereof, then this Agreement shall be
deemed amended and such covenant shall be deemed to be incorporated as a new covenant hereunder. Any Event of Default resulting from the breach of any such new covenant by the Sponsor shall be subject to the same cure period as would be applicable

 (m) the Sponsor, any of its Subsidiaries (as defined in the Sponsor Credit Agreement) or any ERISA Affiliate shall have been notified by the
sponsor of a Multiemployer Plan that the Sponsor has incurred Withdrawal Liability to such Multiemployer Plan in an amount that, when aggregated with all other amounts required to be paid to Multiemployer Plans
