acceptable to counsel for the Administrative Agent and suitable for recording to evidence the security interest in the Copyright, Patent or Trademark which is the subject of such new application. 
  
 (n) Commercial Tort Claims; Notice of Litigation. (i)
Promptly forward to the Administrative Agent written notification of any and all Commercial Tort Claims of any Obligor, including, but not limited to, any and all actions, suits, and proceedings before any court or Governmental Authority by or
affecting such Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) execute and deliver such statements, documents and notices and do and cause to be done all such things as may be required by the Administrative Agent, or required by law, including all
things which may from time to time be necessary under the UCC to fully create, preserve, perfect and protect the priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in any Commercial Tort Claims. 
  
 (o) Fixtures. At all times maintain the Collateral as
personal property and not affix any of the Collateral to any real property (except real property in which the 

  

 14 

 
Administrative Agent has a valid, perfected and first priority security interest) in a manner which would change its nature from personal property to real
property or a Fixture. 
  
 (p) Insurance.
Insure, repair and replace the Collateral of such Obligor as set forth in the Credit Agreement. Subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, all insurance proceeds shall be subject to the security interest of the Administrative Agent
hereunder. 
  
 (q) New Licenses and
Leases. Use its commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure that any material license or any material lease obtained or entered into by such Obligor after the Closing Date does not contain legally enforceable restrictions on the granting of a
security interest therein. 
  
 6. License of Intellectual
Property. The Obligors hereby assign, transfer and convey to the Administrative Agent, effective upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the nonexclusive right and license to use all Intellectual Property owned by or used by any Obligor
that relate to the Collateral and any other collateral granted by the Obligors as security for the Secured Obligations (to the extent this license can be granted without violation of the Obligor’s license thereof), together with any goodwill
associated therewith, all to the extent necessary to enable the Administrative Agent to use, possess and realize on the Collateral and to enable any successor or assign to enjoy the benefits of the Collateral. This right and license shall inure to
the benefit of all successors, assigns and transferees of the Administrative Agent and its successors, assigns and transferees, whether by voluntary conveyance, operation of law, assignment, transfer, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise. Such right and license is granted free of charge, without requirement that any monetary payment whatsoever be made to the Obligors. 
  
 7. Special Provisions Regarding Inventory. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Security Agreement, each Obligor may, unless
and until an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Administrative Agent instructs such Obligor otherwise, without further consent or approval of the Administrative Agent, use, consume, sell, lease and exchange its Inventory in the
ordinary course of its business as presently conducted, whereupon, in the case of such a sale or exchange, the security interest created hereby in the Inventory so sold or exchanged (but not in any Proceeds arising from such sale or exchange) shall
cease immediately without any further action on the part of the Administrative Agent. 
  
 8. Performance of Obligations; Advances by Administrative Agent. On failure of any Obligor to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent may, at its sole option and
sole discretion, perform or cause to be performed the same and in so doing may expend such sums as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem advisable in the performance thereof, including, without limitation, the payment of any insurance
premiums, the payment of any taxes, a payment to obtain a release of a Lien or potential Lien, expenditures made in defending against any adverse claim and all other 

  

 15 

 
expenditures which the Administrative Agent may make for the protection of the security interest hereof or may be compelled to make by operation of law. All
such sums and amounts so expended shall be repayable by the Obligors on a joint and several basis promptly upon timely notice thereof and demand therefor, shall constitute additional Secured Obligations and shall bear interest from the date said
amounts are expended at the default rate for Alternate Base Rate Loans set forth in Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement. No such performance of any covenant or agreement by the Administrative Agent on behalf of any Obligor, and no such advance or
expenditure therefor, shall relieve the Obligors of any default under the terms of this Security Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any Secured Hedging Agreement. The Administrative Agent may make any payment hereby authorized in accordance
with any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale,
forfeiture, tax lien, title or claim except to the extent such payment is being contested in good faith by an Obligor in appropriate proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP. 
  
 9. Events of Default. 
  
 The occurrence of an event which under the Credit Agreement would constitute
an Event of Default shall be an event of default hereunder (an “Event of Default”). 
  
 10. Remedies. 
  
 (a) General Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during continuation thereof, the Administrative Agent and the
Secured Parties shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies provided herein, in the Credit Documents, in any Secured Hedging Agreement or by law (including, but not limited to, levy of attachment, garnishment and the rights and remedies set
forth in the Uniform Commercial Code of the jurisdiction applicable to the affected Collateral), the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (regardless of whether the UCC is the law of the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are
asserted and regardless of whether the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and further, the Administrative Agent may, with or without judicial process or the aid and assistance of others, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, enter on
any premises on which any of the Collateral may be located and, without resistance or interference by the Obligors, take possession of the Collateral, (ii) subject to Section 10(c) with respect to leased properties, dispose of any Collateral on any
such premises, (iii) require the Obligors to assemble and make available to the Administrative Agent at the expense of the Obligors any Collateral at any place and time designated by the Administrative Agent which is reasonably convenient to both
parties, (iv) remove any Collateral from any such premises for the purpose of effecting sale or other disposition thereof, and/or (v) without demand and without advertisement, notice, hearing or process of law, all of which each of the Obligors
hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, at any place and time or times, sell and deliver any or all Collateral held by or for it at public or private sale, by one or more contracts, in one or more parcels, for 

  

 16 

 
cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Administrative Agent deems advisable, in its sole discretion (subject to any and
all mandatory legal requirements). Neither the Administrative Agent’s compliance with any applicable state or federal law in the conduct of such sale, nor its disclaimer of any warranties relating to the Collateral, shall be considered to
adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of such sale. In addition to all other sums due the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties with respect to the Secured Obligations, the Obligors shall pay the Administrative Agent and each of the
Secured Parties all reasonable documented costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any such Secured Party, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, in obtaining or liquidating the Collateral,
in enforcing payment of the Secured Obligations, or in the prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding by or against the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties or the Obligors concerning any matter arising out of or connected with this
Security Agreement, any Collateral or the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing arising in, arising under or related to a case under the Bankruptcy Code. To the extent the rights of notice cannot be legally waived
hereunder, each Obligor agrees that any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is personally served on or mailed, postage prepaid, to the Borrower in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 9.2 of the Credit
Agreement at least 10 days before the time of sale or other event giving rise to the requirement of such notice. The Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of the Collateral
regardless of notice having been given. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any Secured Party may be a purchaser at any such sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Obligors hereby waives all of its rights of redemption
with respect to any such sale. Subject to the provisions of applicable law, the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties may postpone or cause the postponement of the sale of all or any portion of the Collateral by announcement at the time and
place of such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, to the extent permitted by law, be made at the time and place to which the sale was postponed, or the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties may further postpone such sale by
announcement made at such time and place. 
  
 (b)
Remedies Relating to Accounts. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, whether or not the Administrative Agent has exercised any or all of its rights and remedies hereunder, the Administrative Agent
shall have the right, subject to applicable law, to enforce any Obligor’s rights against any account debtors and obligors on such Obligor’s Accounts. Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that the Proceeds of its Accounts remitted to or on
behalf of the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section shall be solely for the Administrative Agent’s own convenience in administering the provisions of this Security Agreement and that such Obligor shall not have
any right, title or interest in such Proceeds or in any such other amounts except as expressly provided herein. To the extent required by the Administrative Agent, each Obligor agrees to execute any document or instrument, and to take any action,
necessary under applicable law (including the Federal Assignment of Claims Act) in order for the Administrative Agent to exercise its rights 

  

 17 

 
and remedies (or be able to exercise its rights and remedies at some future date) with respect to any Accounts of such Obligor where the account debtor is a
Governmental Authority. The Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall have no liability or responsibility to any Obligor for acceptance of a check, draft or other order for payment of money bearing the legend “payment in full” or
words of similar import or any other restrictive legend or endorsement or be responsible for determining the correctness of any remittance. Each Obligor hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties from and against all
liabilities, damages, losses, actions, claims, judgments, costs, expenses, charges and reasonable attorneys’ fees suffered or incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties (each, an “Indemnified Party”) because of
the maintenance of the foregoing arrangements except as relating to or arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party or its officers, employees or agents. In the case of any investigation, litigation or other
proceeding, the foregoing indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by an Obligor, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or any other
Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto. 
  
 (c) Access. In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the Obligors shall provide the Administrative Agent with access to the Collateral, without
cost or charge to the Administrative Agent, and the reasonable use of the same, together with materials, supplies, books and records of the Obligors for the purpose of collecting and liquidating the Collateral, or for preparing for sale and
conducting the sale of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure, auction or otherwise (except to the extent such activities are specifically restricted by the terms of any lease; provided, if the foregoing activities are specifically restricted
by the terms of any lease, the Obligors shall promptly take all reasonable steps to move the Collateral at such lease location to a new location satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). In addition, the Administrative Agent may remove Collateral,
or any part thereof, from such premises and/or any records with respect thereto, in order to effectively collect or liquidate such Collateral. If the Administrative Agent exercises its right to take possession of the Collateral, each Obligor shall
also at its expense perform any and all other steps reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to preserve and protect the security interest hereby granted in the Collateral, such as placing and maintaining signs indicating the security
interest of the Administrative Agent, appointing overseers for the Collateral and maintaining inventory records. 
  
 (d) Nonexclusive Nature of Remedies. Failure by the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties to exercise any right, remedy or
option under this Security Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Secured Hedging Agreement or as provided by law, or any delay by the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties in exercising the same, shall not operate as a waiver of any such
right, remedy or option. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced and then only to the extent specifically stated, which in 

  

 18 

 
the case of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties shall only be granted as provided herein. To the extent permitted by law, neither the
Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties, nor any party acting as attorney for the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties, shall be liable hereunder for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than
their gross negligence or willful misconduct hereunder. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties under this Security Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which the
Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties may have. 
  
 (e) Retention of Collateral. In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, after providing the notices required by Sections 9-620 and 9-621
(or similar provision) of the UCC (or any successor sections of the UCC) or otherwise complying with the requirements of applicable law of the relevant jurisdiction, accept or retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. Unless
and until the Administrative Agent shall have provided such notices, however, the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have retained any Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations for any reason. 
  
 (f) Deficiency. In the event that the proceeds of any
sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties are legally entitled, the Obligors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon
at the default rate for Alternate Base Rate Loans set forth in Section 2.10 of the Credit Agreement, together with the reasonable costs of collection and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent to collect such
deficiency. Any surplus remaining after the full payment and satisfaction of the Secured Obligations shall be returned to the Obligors or to whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine to be entitled thereto. 
  
 (g) Other Security. To the extent that any of the
Secured Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral (including, without limitation, real property and securities owned by an Obligor), or by a guarantee, endorsement or property of any other Person, then the
Administrative Agent shall have the right to proceed against such other property, guarantee or endorsement upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and the Administrative Agent have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine which rights,
security, Liens, security interests or remedies the Administrative Agent shall at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of them or any of the Administrative
Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ rights or the Secured Obligations under this Security Agreement, under any other of the Credit Documents or under any Secured Hedging Agreement. 
  

 19 

 11. Rights of the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (a) Power of Attorney. In addition to other powers of
attorney contained herein, each Obligor hereby designates and appoints the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and each of its designees or agents, as attorney-in-fact of such Obligor, irrevocably and with power of substitution,
with authority to take any or all of the following actions upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default: 
  
 (i) to demand, collect, settle, compromise, adjust, give discharges and releases, all as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine
with respect to the Collateral; 
  
 (ii) to
commence and prosecute any actions at any court for the purposes of collecting any Collateral and enforcing any other right in respect thereof; 
  
 (iii) to defend, settle, adjust or compromise any action, suit or proceeding brought and, in connection therewith, give such discharge or
release as the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably appropriate with respect to the Collateral; 
  
 (iv) to receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to an Obligor and endorse checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, bills of
lading, warehouse receipts or other instruments or documents evidencing payment, shipment or storage of the goods giving rise to the Collateral of such Obligor, or securing or relating to such Collateral, on behalf of and in the name of such
Obligor; 
  
 (v) to sell, assign, transfer, make
any agreement in respect of, or otherwise deal with or exercise rights in respect of, any Collateral or the goods or services which have given rise thereto, as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof
for all purposes; 
  
 (vi) to adjust and settle
claims under any insurance policy relating to the Collateral; 
  
 (vii) to execute and deliver all assignments, conveyances, statements, financing statements, continuation statements, security agreements, affidavits, notices and other agreements, instruments and documents that the
Administrative Agent may determine necessary in order to perfect and maintain the security interests and Liens granted in this Security Agreement and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated herein; 
  

 20 

 (viii) to institute any foreclosure proceedings that the Administrative Agent may deem
appropriate; 
  
 (ix) to do and perform all such
other acts and things as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem to be necessary, proper or convenient in connection with the Collateral; and 
  
 (x) to execute any document or instrument, and to take any action, necessary under applicable law (including the Federal Assignment of
Claims Act) in order for the Administrative Agent to exercise its rights and remedies (or to be able to exercise its rights and remedies at some future date) with respect to any Account of an Obligor where the account debtor is a Governmental
Authority. 
  
 This power of attorney is a power coupled with an
interest and shall be irrevocable for so long as any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding (other than contingent indemnity or reimbursement obligations) or any Credit Document or Secured Hedging Agreement is in effect, and until all of the
Commitments shall have been terminated. The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges and options expressly or implicitly granted to the Administrative Agent in this
Security Agreement, and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity
or its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power of attorney is conferred on the Administrative Agent solely to protect, preserve and realize upon its security
interest in the Collateral. 
  
 (b) Assignment
by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may from time to time assign the Secured Obligations and any portion thereof and/or the Collateral and any portion thereof, and the assignee shall be entitled to all of the rights and
remedies of the Administrative Agent under this Security Agreement in relation thereto. 
  
 (c) The Administrative Agent’s Duty of Care. Other than the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the
Collateral while being held by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that the Obligors shall be responsible for preservation
of all rights in the Collateral, and the Administrative Agent shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the surrender of it to the Obligors. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property, which shall be no less than
the treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent agent in the industry, it being understood that the 

  

 21 

 
Administrative Agent shall not have responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any of the
Collateral. In the event of a public or private sale of Collateral pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up, repair or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. 
  
 12. Application of Proceeds. After the exercise of remedies (other
than the invocation of default interest pursuant to Section 2.10 of the Credit Agreement) by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Credit Agreement (or after the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the
Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts under the Credit Documents (including without limitation the maximum amount of all contingent liabilities under Letters of Credit) shall automatically become due and payable in accordance
with the terms of such Section 7.2), all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party on account of the Secured Obligations and any proceeds of any Collateral will be applied in reduction of the Secured Obligations
in the order set forth in Section 2.13(b) of the Credit Agreement, and each Obligor irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of such payments and proceeds and acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the
continuing and exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and proceeds in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but subject in all events to Section 2.13(b) of the Credit Agreement), notwithstanding any entry to the
contrary upon any of its books and records. 
  
 13. Costs of
Counsel. If at any time hereafter, whether upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or not, the Administrative Agent employs counsel to prepare or consider amendments, waivers or consents with respect to this Security Agreement, or to take
action or make a response in or with respect to any legal or arbitral proceeding relating to this Security Agreement or relating to the Collateral, or to protect the Collateral or exercise any rights or remedies under this Security Agreement or with
respect to the Collateral, then the Obligors agree to promptly pay upon demand any and all such reasonable documented costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, all of which costs and expenses shall constitute Secured Obligations hereunder.

  
 14. Continuing Agreement. 
  
 (a) Upon this Security Agreement becoming effective in
accordance with the terms hereof and of the other Credit Documents, the Existing Security Agreement shall be deemed amended and restated by this Security Agreement. This Security Agreement shall be a continuing agreement in every respect and shall
remain in full force and effect so long as any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding (other than contingent indemnity or reimbursement obligations) or any Credit Document or Secured Hedging Agreement is in effect, and until all of the
Commitments shall have been terminated. Upon such payment and termination, this Security Agreement shall be automatically terminated and the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall, upon the request and at the expense of the Obligors,
forthwith release all of their Liens and security interests hereunder and shall execute and deliver all UCC termination statements and/or 

  

 22 

 
other documents reasonably requested by the Obligors evidencing such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing all releases and indemnities provided
hereunder shall survive termination of this Security Agreement. 
  
 (b) This Security Agreement shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, all as though such payment had not been made; provided
that in the event payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all reasonable costs and expenses (including without limitation any reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred by the
Administrative Agent or any Secured Party in defending and enforcing such reinstatement shall be deemed to be included as a part of the Secured Obligations. 
  
 15. Amendments; Waivers; Modifications. This Security Agreement and the provisions hereof may not be amended, waived, modified, changed, discharged
or terminated except as set forth in Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement. 
  
 16. Successors in Interest; Release. This Security Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall be binding upon each Obligor, its successors and assigns and shall inure,
together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and their successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that
none of the Obligors may assign its rights or delegate its duties hereunder without the prior written consent of each Secured Party or the Required Secured Parties, as required by the Credit Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each
Obligor hereby releases the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party, each of their respective officers, employees and agents and each of their respective successors and assigns, from any liability for any act or omission relating to this
Security Agreement or the Collateral, except for any liability arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party or their respective officers, employees and agents. 
  
 17. Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given under this
Security Agreement shall be in conformance with Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement. 
  
 18. Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which where so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same
instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Security Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart. 
  
 19. Headings. The headings of the sections and subsections hereof are provided for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning,
construction or interpretation of any provision of this Security Agreement. 
  

 23 

 20. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction and Service of Process; Waivers. THIS SECURITY
AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Each of the Obligors agrees that Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the General
Obligations law of the State of New York shall apply to this Security Agreement. Each Obligor agrees not to assert any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party (including the Issuing Secured Party), any of their Affiliates, or any
of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to any of the transactions contemplated herein or in
any other Credit Document. The terms of Sections 9.14 and 9.17 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms. 
  
 21. Severability. If any provision of this Security Agreement is
determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be construed without giving effect to the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions. 
  
 22. Entirety. This Security Agreement, the
other Credit Documents and the Secured Hedging Agreements represent the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, if any, including any commitment letters or
correspondence relating to the Credit Documents, the Secured Hedging Agreements or the transactions contemplated herein and therein. 
  
 23. Survival. All representations and warranties of the Obligors hereunder shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement, the
other Credit Documents and the Secured Hedging Agreements, the delivery of the Notes and the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement. 
  
 24. Joint and Several Obligations of Obligors. 
  
 (a) Each of the Guarantors is entering into this Security Agreement in consideration of the financial
accommodation to be provided by the Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement and under the Secured Hedging Agreements, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Obligors and in consideration of the joint and several
undertakings of each of the Guarantors under the Guaranty provided pursuant to Article X of the Credit Agreement, and each Guarantor is granting the security interests in the Collateral of such Guarantor pursuant to this Security Agreement in
support of its obligations under the Guaranty. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, in any other of the Credit Documents or in any Secured Hedging Agreement, to the extent the obligations of an Obligor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable
for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law 

  

 24 

 
relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers), then the obligations of such Obligor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible
under applicable law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code).

 RECITALS 
  
 A. Borrower desires to obtain financing for general corporate purposes and,
in connection therewith, has requested that the Lenders provide such financing to Borrower; and 
  
 B. The Lenders are willing to provide to Borrower a $125,000,000 three hundred sixty-four (364) day unsecured revolving credit facility upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth herein (the “Facility”). 
  
 AGREEMENT 
  
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements herein and in the other Credit Facility Documents and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein and therein, the parties agree as follows: 
  
 ARTICLE I. 
 DEFINITIONS 
  
 1.1 Definitions. 
  
 Except as otherwise
expressly provided, capitalized terms used in this Agreement and its exhibits shall have the meanings given in Exhibit A. 
  
 1.2 Rules of Interpretation. 
  
 Except as otherwise expressly provided, the Rules of Interpretation set forth in Exhibit A shall apply to this Agreement and the other Credit Facility
Documents. 
  
 ARTICLE II. 
 THE CREDIT FACILITY 
  
 2.1 Credit Facility. 
  
 2.1.1 Revolving Credit Facility. 
  
 2.1.1.1 Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Lender severally agrees to advance to Borrower from
time to time prior to the Maturity Date, an advance (each, a “Loan”), in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, each Loan shall be funded by the
Lenders as described in Section 2.1.1.3. Borrower may, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, borrow, repay and reborrow under the Facility from time to time prior to the Maturity Date. 
  

 1 

 2.1.1.2 Notice of Borrowing. Borrower shall request Loans by delivering to Administrative Agent a
written notice in the form of Exhibit C-1, appropriately completed (a “Notice of Borrowing”) which specifies, among other things: 
  
 (a) The principal portion of the requested Borrowing which will bear interest as provided in (A) Section 2.1.2.1(a) (individually, a “Base Rate
Loan”) and (B) Section 2.1.2.1.(b) (individually, a “LIBOR Loan”); 
  
 (b) The amount of the requested Borrowing, which shall be in the minimum amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (except in the case of a Loan of all remaining undrawn amounts
under the Facility); 
  
 (c) The date of the requested
Borrowing, which shall be a Banking Day; and 
  
 (d) The
account(s) to which the proceeds of the Borrowing are to be deposited, as contemplated by Section 2.1.1.3(d). 
  
 Borrower shall deliver each such Notice of Borrowing so as to provide not less than the Minimum Notice Period. Any Notice of Borrowing may be modified or revoked by Borrower through the Banking Day prior to the
applicable Minimum Notice Period, and thereafter shall be irrevocable. 
  
 2.1.1.3 Loan Funding. 
  
 (a) Notice. The
Notice of Borrowing shall be delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.1. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents of each Notice of Borrowing. 
  
 (b) Pro Rata Loans. Each Loan shall be made on a pro rata basis by
the Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares, with each Borrowing to consist of a Loan by each Lender equal to such Lender’s Proportionate Share of such Borrowing. 
  
 (c) Lender Funding. Each Lender shall, before 12:00 noon in the case
of LIBOR Loans and 2:00 p.m. in the case of Base Rate Loans, in each case, on the date of each Borrowing, make available to Administrative Agent at its office specified in Section 8.1, in same day funds, such Lender’s Proportionate Share of
such Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing. No Lender shall be responsible for
the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing. 
  
 (d) Funding of Loans. No later than 2:00 p.m. in the case of LIBOR Loans and 3:00 p.m. in the case of Base Rate Loans, in each case, on the date
specified 
  

 2 

 in each Notice of Borrowing, if the applicable conditions precedent listed in Article III have been satisfied or waived
and to the extent Administrative Agent shall have received the appropriate funds from the Lenders, Administrative Agent shall make available the Loans requested in such Notice of Borrowing in Dollars and in immediately available funds, at
Administrative Agent’s New York Branch, and shall transfer such funds to the bank account(s) specified by Borrower in the Notice of Borrowing delivered in respect of such Borrowing. 
  
 2.1.2 Interest Provisions Applicable to all Loans. 
  
 2.1.2.1 Loan Interest Rates. Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan from the date
of such Loan until the maturity or prepayment thereof at one of the following rates per annum: 
  
 (a) With respect to the principal portion of such Loan which is, and during such periods as such Loan is, a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to
the Base Rate (such rate to change from time to time as the Base Rate shall change) plus the Applicable Margin. 
  
 (b) With respect to the principal portion of such Loan which is, and during such periods as such Loan is, a LIBOR Loan, at a rate per annum during each
Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin. 
  
 2.1.2.2 Interest Provisions. Unless otherwise specified by Borrower in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion of Loan Type and except as
otherwise provided for herein, all Loans shall be Base Rate Loans. Subject to the applicable limitations set forth herein, Loans shall bear interest based upon the LIBOR Rate as specified by Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice
of Conversion of Loan Type. Borrower shall not request, and the Lenders shall not be obligated to make, LIBOR Loans at any time an Inchoate Default or Event of Default exists. If an Event of Default exists at the end of an Interest Period, the LIBOR
Loans whose Interest Period is then ending shall automatically convert to Base Rate Loans at such time. 
  
 2.1.2.3 Interest Payment Dates. Borrower shall pay accrued interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan (i) in the case of each Base Rate
Loan, on the last Banking Day of each calendar quarter, (ii) in the case of each LIBOR Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period related to each LIBOR Loan and, with respect to Interest Periods longer than three months, the last Banking Day of
each calendar quarter, and (iii) in all cases, upon prepayment (to the extent thereof and including any optional prepayments), upon conversion from one Type of Loan to another Type and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise). 

 
 2.1.2.4 Interest Periods. 
  
 (a) Each Interest Period selected by Borrower for all LIBOR Loans shall be
one, two, three or six months or such other period as close to six months as is practicable to enable Borrower to limit the number of LIBOR Loans as required by this Section 2.1.2.4(a) or to comply with clause (C) of the next sentence.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the previous sentence, (A) any Interest Period which would otherwise end on a day which is not a Banking Day shall be extended to the next succeeding Banking Day unless 
  

 3 

 such next Banking Day falls in another calendar month, in which case such Interest Period shall end on the immediately
preceding Banking Day; (B) any Interest Period which begins on the last Banking Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the last
Banking Day of the next calendar month; (C) any Interest Period for a Loan which would otherwise end after the Maturity Date shall end on the Maturity Date; (D) Borrower may not at any time have outstanding more than five different Interest Periods
relating to LIBOR Loans; and (E) LIBOR Loans for each Interest Period shall be in the amount of at least $1,000,000. 
  
 (b) Borrower may contact Administrative Agent at any time prior to the end of an Interest Period for a quotation of interest rates in effect at such time
for given Interest Periods and Administrative Agent shall promptly provide such quotation. Borrower may select an Interest Period telephonically within the time periods specified in Section 2.1.1.2, which selection shall be irrevocable on and after
commencement of the applicable Minimum Notice Period. Borrower shall confirm such telephonic notice to Administrative Agent by telecopy on the day such notice is given (in substantially the form of Exhibit C-3, a “Confirmation of Interest
Period Selection”) and Administrative Agent shall promptly forward the same to the Lenders. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent the original of the Confirmation of Interest Period Selection initially delivered by
telecopy. If Borrower fails to notify Administrative Agent of the next Interest Period for any LIBOR Loans in accordance with this Section 2.1.2.4(b), such Loans shall automatically convert to Base Rate Loans on the last day of the current Interest
Period therefor. Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable (and, in any case, within two Banking Days after delivery of the Confirmation of Interest Period Selection by telecopy as provided for above) notify Borrower of each determination of
the interest rate applicable to each Loan. 
  
 2.1.2.5
Interest Account and Interest Computations. Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent to record in an account or accounts maintained by Administrative Agent on its books (i) the interest rates applicable to all Loans and the effective dates of
all changes thereto, (ii) the Interest Period for each LIBOR Loan, (iii) the date and amount of each principal and interest payment on each Loan and (iv) such other information as Administrative Agent may determine is necessary for the computation
of interest payable by Borrower hereunder. Borrower agrees that all computations by Administrative Agent of interest shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. All computations of interest on Base Rate Loans shall be based upon a year
of 365 or 366 days and the actual days elapsed since the last interest payment date, and shall be adjusted in accordance with any changes in the Base Rate to take effect on the beginning of the day of such change in the Base Rate. All computations
of interest on LIBOR Loans shall be based upon a year of 360 days and the actual days elapsed. 
  
 2.1.3 Conversion of Loans. Borrower may convert any Loan from one Type of Loan to another Type; provided, however, that (i) any conversion of LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans shall be made on, and only
on, the first day after the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loans, and (ii) Loans shall be converted only in amounts of $10,000,000 and increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Borrower shall request such a conversion by a written
notice to Administrative Agent in the form of Exhibit C-2, appropriately completed (a “Notice of Conversion of Loan Type”), which specifies: 
  

(a) The Loans, or portion thereof, which are to be converted; 
  

 4 

 (b) The Type into which such Loans, or portion thereof, are to be converted; 
  
 (c) If such Loans are to be converted into LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest
Period selected by Borrower for such Loans in accordance with Section 2.1.2.4(b); and 
  
 (d) The date of the requested conversion, which shall be a Banking Day. 
  
 Borrower shall give each Notice of Conversion of Loan Type to Administrative Agent so as to provide at least the applicable Minimum Notice Period. Any Notice of Conversion of Loan Type may be modified or revoked by
Borrower through the Banking Day prior to the Minimum Notice Period, and shall thereafter be irrevocable. Each Notice of Conversion of Loan Type shall be delivered by first-class mail or telecopy to Administrative Agent at the office or to the
telecopy number and as otherwise specified in Section 8.1; provided, however, that Borrower shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent the original of any Notice of Conversion of Loan Type initially delivered by telecopy.
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents of each Notice of Conversion of Loan Type. 
  
 2.1.4 Loan Principal Payment. On the Maturity Date, Borrower shall repay to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the Loans made by such Lender, with any remaining unpaid principal, interest, fees and costs due and payable on such date. From and after the Maturity Date, upon payment in full of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans, all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts owed by Borrower to Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder and under the other Credit Facility Documents, the Lenders shall promptly mark any Notes cancelled and return such cancelled
Notes to Borrower. 
  
 2.1.5 Promissory Notes. The obligation of
Borrower to repay the Loans made by each Lender and to pay interest thereon at the rates provided herein shall, upon the written request of any Lender, be evidenced by Notes in the form of Exhibit B (each, a “Note”), each payable to
the order of such Lender and in the principal amount of such Lender’s Commitment. Borrower authorizes each Lender to record on the schedule annexed to such Lender’s Note or Notes, and/or in the Lenders internal records, the date and amount
of each Loan made by such Lender, and each payment or prepayment of principal thereunder and agrees that all such notations shall constitute prima facie evidence of the matters noted. Borrower further authorizes each Lender to attach to and make a
part of such Lender’s Note or Notes continuations of the schedule attached thereto as necessary. No failure to make any such notations, nor any errors in making any such notations shall affect the validity of Borrower’s obligation to repay
the full unpaid principal amount of the Loans or the duties of Borrower hereunder or thereunder. 
  
 2.1.6 Prepayments. 
  
 2.1.6.1 Terms of all Prepayments. Upon the prepayment of any Loan, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender which
made such 
  

 5 

 Loan (i) all accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid and (ii) if such prepayment is the
prepayment of a LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan, all Liquidation Costs incurred by such Lender as a result of such prepayment (pursuant to the terms of Section 2.7). 
  
 2.1.6.2 Optional Prepayments. Subject to Section 2.1.6.1, Borrower
may, at its option and without penalty, upon three Banking Days’ notice to Administrative Agent, prepay any Loans in whole or in part in an amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (except in the case of a
prepayment of all the Loans under the Facility). 
  
 2.2 Total
Commitments and Fees. 
  
 2.2.1 Total Commitment. The
aggregate principal amount of all Loans made by the Lenders and outstanding at any one time shall not exceed $125,000,000, subject to reductions by Borrower to a lower amount pursuant to Section 2.2.2 (as so reduced from time to time, the
“Total Commitment”). 
  
 2.2.2 Reductions and
Cancellations. Borrower may, from time to time upon three Banking Days’ written notice to Administrative Agent (who shall promptly deliver such notice to the Lenders), permanently reduce, by an amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof or cancel in its entirety, the Total Commitment. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.2.2 to the contrary, Borrower may not reduce or cancel any portion of the Total Commitment if, after giving effect to such
reduction or cancellation, (a) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans then outstanding would exceed the Total Commitment or (b) such reduction or cancellation would cause a violation of any provision of this Agreement or the other Credit
Facility Documents. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent any Facility Fees then due on such cancelled amount upon any such reduction or cancellation. From the effective date of any such reduction, the Facility Fees shall be computed on the
basis of the Total Commitment as so reduced. Once reduced or cancelled, the Total Commitment may not be increased or reinstated. Any reductions pursuant to this Section 2.2.2 shall be applied ratably to each Lender’s respective Commitments in
accordance with Section 2.5.1. 
  
 2.3 Fees 
  
 2.3.1 Up Front Fees. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, the up-front fee (the “Up-Front Fee”) described in the Fee Letter (but only to the extent such Up-Front Fee is payable as of the Closing Date pursuant to the Fee Letter).

  
 2.3.2 Facility Fees. On the last Banking Day in each calendar
quarter (where all or any portion of such calendar quarter occurs on or after the Closing Date and prior to the Maturity Date) and on the Maturity Date (or, if the Total Commitment is cancelled prior to such date, on the date of such cancellation),
Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, accruing from the Closing Date or the first day of such quarter, as the case may be, a facility fee (collectively, the “Facility Fees”) for such quarter (or
portion thereof) then ending equal to the sum of the products obtained by multiplying, (i) each applicable 
  

 6 

 percentage set forth below based on Borrower’s senior unsecured long term debt rating(s) during the period of
determination times (ii) the daily average Total Commitment in each case irrespective of usage, times (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such quarter (or portion thereof) on which such applicable percentage applies to
Borrower and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty (360).

 2.4 Other Payment
Terms. 
  
 2.4.1 Place and Manner. Borrower shall make all
payments due to each Lender hereunder to Administrative Agent, for the account of such Lender, to Citibank, N.A., ABA 021000089, Account Number: 36852248, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00
noon, on the date on which such payment is due. Any payment received after such time on any day shall be deemed received on the Banking Day after such payment is received. Administrative Agent shall disburse to each Lender each such payment received
by Administrative Agent for such Lender, such disbursement to occur on the day such payment is received if received by 12:00 noon, otherwise on the next Banking Day. 
  
 2.4.2 Date. Whenever any payment due hereunder shall fall due on a day other than a Banking Day, such payment shall be made
on the next succeeding Banking Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be, without duplication of any interest or fees so paid in the next subsequent calculation of interest or fees
payable. 
  
 2.4.3 Late Payments. If any amounts required to be
paid by Borrower under this Agreement or the other Credit Facility Documents (including principal or interest payable on any Loan, and any fees or other amounts otherwise payable to Administrative Agent or any Lender) remain unpaid after such
overdue amounts are due, Borrower shall pay interest (including following any Bankruptcy Event with respect to Borrower) on the aggregate, outstanding balance of such amounts from the date due until those amounts are paid in full at a per annum rate
equal to the Default Rate. 
  

 7 

 2.4.4 Net of Taxes, Etc. 
  
 2.4.4.1 Taxes. Subject to each Lender’s compliance with Section 2.4.7, any and all payments to or for the
benefit of Administrative Agent or any Lender by Borrower hereunder or under any other Credit Facility Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction, setoff or counterclaim of any kind whatsoever and in such amounts as may be
necessary in order that all such payments, after deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto (excluding income and franchise taxes, which
include taxes imposed on or measured by the net income, net profits or capital of Administrative Agent or such Lender by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a result of a connection between such
Lender and such jurisdiction or political subdivision, unless such connection results solely from such Lender’s executing, delivering or performing its obligations or receiving a payment under, or enforcing, this Agreement or any Note) (all
such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”), shall be equal to the amounts otherwise specified to be paid under this Agreement and the other
Credit Facility Documents. If Borrower shall be required by law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Credit Facility Document to Administrative Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable
shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.4.4), Administrative Agent or such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. In
addition, Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (not including income or franchise taxes) that arise under the laws of the United States
of America, the State of New York or the State of Florida from any payment made hereunder or under any other Credit Facility Document or from the execution or delivery or otherwise with respect to this Agreement or any other Credit Facility Document
(hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 
  
 2.4.4.2 Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify each Lender for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section
2.4.4) paid by any Lender, or any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted; provided that Borrower shall not be
obligated to indemnify any Lender for any penalties, interest or expenses relating to Taxes or Other Taxes arising from such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Lender agrees to give notice to Borrower of the assertion of any
claim against such Lender relating to such Taxes or Other Taxes as promptly as is practicable after being notified of such assertion, and in no event later than 90 days after the principal officer of such Lender responsible for administering this
Agreement obtains knowledge thereof; provided that any Lender’s failure to notify Borrower of such assertion within such 90 day period shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation under this Section 2.4.4 with respect to Taxes or Other Taxes,

  
  

 8 

 penalties, interest or expenses arising prior to the end of such period, but shall relieve Borrower of its obligations
under this Section 2.4.4 with respect to Taxes and Other Taxes, penalties, interest or expenses accruing between the end of such period and such time as Borrower receives notice from such Lender as provided herein. Payments by Borrower pursuant to
this indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender makes written demand therefor (submitted through Administrative Agent), which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate describing in reasonable detail the basis thereof.

  
 2.4.4.3 Notice. Within 30 days after the date of any
payment of Taxes by Borrower, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or if such receipt is not obtainable, other evidence of
such payment by Borrower reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Borrower shall compensate each Lender for all reasonable losses and expenses sustained by such Lender as a result of any failure by Borrower to so furnish such copy of such
receipt. 
  
 2.4.4.4 Conduits. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Section 2.4.4, if a Lender is a conduit entity participating in a conduit financing arrangement (as defined in Section 7701(l) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder) then with respect to any
payments made by Borrower under this Agreement or under any Note, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay additional amounts to such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.4 to the extent that the amount of United States Taxes exceeds the amount that
would have otherwise been payable if such Lender were not a conduit entity participating in a conduit financing arrangement. 
  
 2.4.4.5 Survival of Credit Facility Obligations. The obligations of Borrower under this Section 2.4.4 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations. 
  
 2.4.5
Application of Payments. Payments made under this Agreement or the other Credit Facility Documents shall (a) first be applied to any fees, costs, charges or expenses due and payable to Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder or under the
other Credit Facility Documents, (b) next to any accrued but unpaid interest then due and owing and (c) then to outstanding principal then due and payable or otherwise to be prepaid.  
  
 2.4.6 Failure to Pay Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall
have received notice from Borrower at least two Banking Days prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment in full, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment
in full to Administrative Agent on such date and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Borrower
shall not have so made such payment in full to Administrative Agent, such Lender shall repay to Administrative Agent forthwith upon demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount
is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for the first five days after such date, and subsequent thereto at the Base Rate. A certificate of Administrative Agent
submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing by such Lender under this Section 2.4.6 shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. 
  

 9 

 2.4.7 Withholding Exemption Certificates. Administrative Agent on the Closing Date and each Lender upon
becoming a Lender hereunder including any entity to which any Lender grants a participation or otherwise transfers its interest in this Agreement agrees that it will deliver to Administrative Agent and Borrower either (A) a statement that it is
formed under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof or (B) if it is not so incorporated, two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN or successor applicable form, as the case may be,
certifying in each case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Lender which delivers to Borrower and Administrative Agent a Form W-8ECI
or W-8BEN pursuant to the preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent further copies of the said letter and Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN, or successor applicable forms, or other manner of certification or
procedure, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such letter or form expires or becomes obsolete or within a reasonable time after gaining knowledge of the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent letter and forms
previously delivered by it to Borrower, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by Borrower, certifying in the case of a Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement
without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless in any such cases an event (including any change in any treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be
required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would reasonably prevent a Lender from duly completing and delivering any such letter or form with respect to it and such Lender advises Borrower that it is not capable of receiving
payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax, and in the case of Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN, establishing an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Borrower shall not be obligated, however, to pay any
additional amounts in respect of United States Federal income tax pursuant to Section 2.4.4.1 (or make an indemnification payment pursuant to Section 2.4.4.2) to any Lender (including any entity to which any Lender sells, assigns, grants a
participation in, or otherwise transfers its rights under this Agreement) if the obligation to pay such additional amounts (or such indemnification) would not have arisen but for a failure of such Lender to comply with its obligations under this
Section 2.4.7. 
  
 2.5 Pro Rata Treatment. 
  
 2.5.1 Borrowings, Commitment Reductions, Etc. Except as otherwise provided
herein, (a) each Borrowing and each reduction of the Total Commitment shall be made or allocated among the Lenders pro rata according to their respective Proportionate Shares, (b) each payment of principal and interest on Loans shall be made
or shared among the Lenders holding such Loans, pro rata according to their respective Proportionate Shares and (c) each payment of Facility Fees shall be shared among the Lenders pro rata according to (i) their respective
Proportionate Shares of the Commitments and (ii) in the case of each Lender which becomes a Lender hereunder after the date hereof, the date upon which such Lender so became a Lender. 
  

 10 

 2.5.2 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary,
through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) hereunder in excess of its ratable share of payments in accordance with Section 2.5.1, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans as shall
be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase
from such Lender shall be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such other Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of
(a) the amount of such other Lender’s required repayment to (b) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.
Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.5.2 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
  
 2.6 Change of Circumstances. 
  
 2.6.1 Inability to Determine Rates. If, on or before the first day of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Loans, (a) Administrative Agent determines that
the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period cannot be adequately and reasonably determined due to the unavailability of funds in or other circumstances affecting the London interbank market, or (b) Lenders holding aggregate Proportionate Shares of
33 1/3% or more shall advise Administrative Agent that (i) the rates of interest for such LIBOR Loans do not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans or (ii) deposits in Dollars in the London interbank market are not available to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by each such Lender in good faith in
writing to Administrative Agent and to Borrower) in the ordinary course of business in sufficient amounts to make and/or maintain its LIBOR Loans, Administrative Agent shall immediately give notice of such condition to Borrower. After the giving of
any such notice and until Administrative Agent shall otherwise notify Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such condition no longer exist, Borrower’s right to request the making of or conversion to, and the Lenders’ obligations
to make or convert to, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended. Any LIBOR Loans outstanding at the commencement of any suspension shall be converted at the end of the then current Interest Period for such Loans into Base Rate Loans, as applicable, unless
such suspension has then ended. 
  
 2.6.2 Illegality. If,
after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any Governmental Rule, any change in any Governmental Rule or the application or requirements thereof (whether such change occurs in accordance with the terms of such Governmental Rule as enacted, as
a result of amendment, or otherwise), any change in the interpretation or administration of any Governmental Rule by any Governmental Authority, or compliance by any Lender or Borrower with any request or directive (whether or not having the force
of law, but if not having the force of law, being of the type with which a Lender customarily complies) of any Governmental Authority (a “Change of Law”) shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make or maintain any
LIBOR Loan, such Lender shall immediately notify Administrative Agent and Borrower of such Change of Law. Upon receipt of such notice, 
  

 11 

 (a) Borrower’s right to request the making of or conversion to, and the Lenders’ obligations to make or convert
to, LIBOR Loans, as the case may be, shall be suspended for so long as such condition shall exist, and (b) Borrower shall, at the request of such Lender, either (i) pursuant to Section 2.1.3, convert any then outstanding LIBOR Loans into Base Rate
Loans at the end of the current Interest Periods for such Loans, or (ii) immediately repay or convert (at Borrower’s option) LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans if such Lender shall notify Borrower that such Lender may not lawfully continue to
fund and maintain such Loans as LIBOR Loans. Any conversion or prepayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence prior to the last day of an Interest Period for such Loans shall be deemed a prepayment thereof for purposes of Section
2.7. 
  
 2.6.3 Increased Costs. If, after the date of this
Agreement, any Change of Law: 
  
 2.6.3.1 Shall subject any
Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any LIBOR Loan, or Commitment in respect thereof, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments by Borrower to any Lender on such a Loan or with respect to any such Commitment (except for
Taxes, Other Taxes or changes in the rate of taxation on the overall net income of any Lender); or 
  
 2.6.3.2 Shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (without duplication of any reserve requirement
included within the applicable interest rate through the definition of “Reserve Requirement”) against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any
Lender for any LIBOR Loan; or 
  
 2.6.3.3 Shall impose on any
Lender any other condition directly related to any LIBOR Loan or Commitment in respect thereof; 
  
 and the effect of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, issuing, creating, renewing, participating in or maintaining any such LIBOR Loan or Commitment in respect thereof or to reduce
any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder; then Borrower shall from time to time, within 30 days after demand by such Lender, pay to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to reimburse such Lender for such increased costs or to compensate
such Lender for such reduced amounts. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such increased costs or reduced amounts and the basis for determination of such amount, submitted by such Lender to Borrower, shall, in the absence
of demonstrable error, be conclusive and binding on Borrower for purposes of this Agreement. 
  
 2.6.4 Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that (a) any Change of Law after the date of this Agreement increases the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, or the Lending
Office of such Lender or any Person controlling such Lender (a “Capital Adequacy Requirement”), and (b) the amount of capital maintained by such Lender or such Person which is attributable to or based upon the Loans, the Commitments
or this Agreement must be increased as a result of such Capital Adequacy Requirement (taking into account such Lender’s or such Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent on behalf of
such Lender or such Person, within 30 days after demand of Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender or such Person, such amounts as such 
  

 12 

 Lender or such Person shall reasonably determine are necessary to compensate such Lender or such Person for the increased
costs to such Lender or such Person of such increased capital. A certificate of such Lender or such Person, setting forth in reasonable detail the computation of any such increased costs, delivered to Borrower by Administrative Agent on behalf of
such Lender or such Person shall, in the absence of demonstrable error, be conclusive and binding on Borrower for purposes of this Agreement. 
  
 2.6.5 Notice; Participating Lenders’ Rights. Each Lender shall notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will
entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.6, as promptly as practicable, and in no event later than 180 days after the principal officer of such Lender responsible for administering this Agreement obtained knowledge thereof;
provided, however, that the failure to give Borrower notice within such 180 day period and to make such determination during such periods shall not relieve Borrower of the obligation under this Section 2.6 with respect to any claim
arising prior to the end of such period, but shall relieve Borrower of its obligations under this Section 2.6 with respect to the time between the end of such period and such time as Borrower receives notice from such Lender as provided herein. No
Person purchasing from a Lender a participation in any Commitment (as opposed to an assignment) shall be entitled to any payment from or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to Section 2.6.3 or Section 2.6.4 which would be in excess of the applicable
proportionate amount (based on the portion of the Commitments in which such Person is participating) which would then be payable to such Lender if such Lender had not sold a participation in that portion of the Commitment. 
  
 2.7 Funding Losses. If Borrower shall (a) repay or prepay any LIBOR
Loans on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loans, (b) fail to borrow any LIBOR Loans in accordance with a Notice of Borrowing delivered to Administrative Agent (whether as a result of the failure to satisfy any
applicable conditions or otherwise) after such notice has become irrevocable, (c) fail to convert any Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans, as applicable, in accordance with a Notice of Conversion of Loan Type delivered to Administrative Agent (whether
as a result of the failure to satisfy any applicable conditions or otherwise) after such notice has become irrevocable, (d) fail to continue a LIBOR Loan in accordance with a Confirmation of Interest Period Selection after such notice of
confirmation has become irrevocable, or (e) fail to make any prepayment in accordance with any notice of prepayment delivered to Administrative Agent, Borrower shall, within 30 days after demand by any Lender, reimburse such Lender for all
reasonable costs and losses incurred by such Lender (“Liquidation Costs”) due to such payment, prepayment or failure. Borrower understands that such costs and losses may include losses incurred by a Lender as a result of funding and
other contracts entered into by such Lender to fund LIBOR Loans (other than non receipt of the Applicable Margin). Each Lender demanding payment under this Section 2.7 shall deliver to Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the
amount of costs and losses for which demand is made. Such a certificate so delivered to Borrower shall, in the absence of demonstrable error, be conclusive and binding as to the amount of such loss for purposes of this Agreement. 
  
 2.8 Alternate Office, Minimization of Costs. 
  
 2.8.1 Minimization of Costs. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender
shall designate an alternative Lending Office with respect to its LIBOR Loans and otherwise take 
  

 13 

 any reasonable actions to reduce any liability of Borrower to any Lender under Sections 2.4.4, 2.6.3, 2.6.4 or 2.7, or to
avoid the unavailability of any Type of Loans under Section 2.6.2 so long as (in the case of the designation of an alternative Lending Office) such Lender, in its sole discretion, does not determine that such designation is disadvantageous to such
Lender. 
  
 2.8.2 Replacement Rights. If and with respect to each
occasion that a Lender either makes a demand for compensation pursuant to Section 2.4.4, 2.6.3 or 2.6.4 or is unable for a period of three consecutive months to fund LIBOR Loans pursuant to Section 2.6.2 or such Lender wrongfully fails to fund a
Loan, Borrower may, upon at least 5 Banking Days’ prior irrevocable written notice to each of such Lenders and Administrative Agent, in whole permanently replace the Loans and Commitments of such Lender; provided that Borrower shall
replace such Loans and Commitments with the Loans and Commitments of a lender reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Such replacement Lender shall upon the effective date of replacement purchase the Obligations owed to such replaced Lender
for the aggregate amount thereof and shall thereupon and for all purposes become a “Lender” hereunder. Such notice from Borrower shall specify an effective date for the replacement of such Lender’s Loans and Commitments, which date
shall not be later than the fourteenth (14th) day after the day such notice is given. On the effective date of any
replacement of a Lender’s Loans and Commitments and Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.8.2, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender (a) any fees due to such Lender to the date of such replacement; (b) the
principal of and accrued interest on the principal amount of outstanding Loans held by such Lender to the date of such replacement (such amount to be represented by the purchase of the Obligations of such replaced Lender by the replacing Lender and
not as a prepayment of such Loans), and (c) the amount or amounts due to such Lender pursuant to each of Sections 2.4.4, 2.6.3 or 2.6.4, as applicable, and any other amount then payable hereunder to such Lender. In addition, if the replacement
Lender was not previously a “Lender” hereunder, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent an administrative fee of $3,500. Borrower will remain liable to such replaced Lender for any Liquidation Costs that such Lender may sustain or incur
as a consequence of the purchase of such Lender’s Loans (unless such Lender has defaulted on its obligation to fund a Loan hereunder). Upon the effective date of the purchase of any Lender’s Loans and termination of such Lender’s
Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.8.2, such Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder. No such termination of such Lender’s Commitments and the purchase of such Lender’s Loans pursuant to this Section 2.8.2 shall affect (i) any
liability or obligation of Borrower or any other Lender to such terminated Lender, or any liability or obligation of such terminated Lender to Borrower or any other Lender, which accrued on or prior to the date of such termination or (ii) such
terminated Lender’s rights hereunder in respect of any such liability or obligation. 
  
 2.8.3 Alternate Office. Any Lender may designate a Lending Office other than that set forth on Schedule 1 and may assign all of its interests under the Credit Facility Documents, and its Notes, to such Lending Office,
provided that such designation and assignment do not at the time of such designation and assignment increase the reasonably foreseeable liability of Borrower under Sections 2.4.4, 2.6.3 or 2.6.4, or make an interest rate option unavailable pursuant
to Section 2.6.2.

these representations and warranties shall survive the Closing Date, the issuance of any Notes and the making of the Loans: 
  
 4.1 Corporate Existence and Business. Borrower is a corporation duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of incorporation and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is necessary to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and each other Credit Facility Document to which
it is or is to become a party. 
  
 4.2 Power and Authorization;
Enforceable Obligations. Borrower has full power and authority and the legal right to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and each other Credit Facility Document to which it is or is to become a party and to take all action as may be

it is or is to become a party to complete the transactions contemplated hereby. No consent or authorization of, filing with, or other act by or in respect of any other Person or Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution,
delivery or performance by Borrower, or the validity or enforceability as to Borrower, of this Agreement and each other Credit Facility Document to which it is or is to become a party, except such consents or authorizations or filings or other acts
as have already been obtained or where the failure to obtain such consent or authorization could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower. This Agreement and each other Credit Facility Document to which Borrower is a
party have been duly executed and delivered by Borrower and constitute, and each other Credit Facility Document to which it is to become a party will upon execution and delivery thereof by Borrower and the other parties thereto (if any) constitutes,
a legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the right of
creditors generally and by general principles of equity. 
  
 4.3 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement and each other Credit Facility Document to which it is or is to become a party to complete the transactions contemplated hereby and the making by
Borrower of any payments hereunder or under any other Credit Facility Document to which it is a party will not violate any applicable law or any material contractual obligation of Borrower and will not result in, or require, the creation or
imposition of any Lien on any of the properties or revenues of Borrower pursuant to any applicable law or any such contractual obligation except, in each case, where such violation, creation or imposition could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect on Borrower. 
  

 17 

 4.4 No Proceeding, Litigation or Investigation. No litigation, proceeding or investigation of or
before any Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened in writing against Borrower, except where such litigation, proceeding or investigation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on
Borrower. 
  
 4.5 Governmental Approvals. All
governmental authorizations and actions necessary in connection with the execution and delivery by Borrower of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder have been obtained or performed and remain valid and in full force and
effect. 
  
 4.6 Financial Statements. All quarterly and
annual financial statements of Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries heretofore delivered by Borrower to Administrative Agent were true, correct and complete in all material respects, did not fail to disclose any material liabilities, whether
direct or contingent, and fairly presented in all material respects the financial condition of Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries, as the case may be, in each case as of the date delivered and were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Since
June 30, 2003, there has been no material adverse change in the business, operations, property, assets or financial condition of Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole. 
  
 4.7 True and Complete Disclosure. All factual information heretofore
or contemporaneously furnished by Borrower or its representatives in writing to Administrative Agent or any Lender for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated herein was true and accurate in all material
respects on the date as of which such information was dated or certified and at such date did not omit to state any fact necessary to make such information not misleading at such time in light of the circumstances under which such information was
provided. The information referred to in the immediately preceding sentence furnished to Administrative Agent or any Lender on or prior to the Closing Date, taken as a whole, as updated or supplemented from time to time, is true and correct in all
material respects as of the Closing Date, and as of the Closing Date all such information does not omit to state any fact which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower.

company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended and is exempt from regulation under PUHCA and the Federal Power Act.

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower. Except as have been delivered to Administrative Agent, no notices of violation of any Governmental Rule have been issued, entered or received by Borrower. 
  
 4.10 ERISA. Borrower and any other Person which is under common
control (within the meaning of Section 414(b) or (c) of the Code) with Borrower have fulfilled their obligations (if any) under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Code for each ERISA Plan in compliance in all material respects with the
currently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and have not incurred any liability to the PBGC or an ERISA Plan under Title IV of ERISA (other than liability for premiums due in the ordinary course). Assuming that the credit 
  

 18 

 extended hereunder does not involve the assets of any employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, neither the execution of
this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will involve a Prohibited Transaction. 
  
 4.11 Solvency. Borrower and each Significant Subsidiary is, and after giving effect to the incurrence of all Indebtedness and obligations being
incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Credit Facility Documents, will be and will continue to be, Solvent.

(collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against and reimburse the Indemnitees for any and all penalties, claims, damages, losses, liabilities and obligations, of any kind or nature whatsoever, that may be imposed upon, incurred
by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the other Credit Facility Documents, the use by Borrower of the proceeds hereof, or any related claim or investigation,
litigation or proceeding, or the preparation of any defense with respect thereto, and will reimburse each Indemnitee for all reasonable expenses (including all reasonable costs and expenses of a single legal counsel, together with a single legal
counsel in each applicable jurisdiction, and all reasonable costs and expenses of multiple legal counsels to the extent necessary in the event that (i) the circumstances giving rise to such indemnification create an ethical conflict for such single
counsel or (ii) the Indemnitees have inconsistent or conflicting defenses) incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding, whether or not such
investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by Borrower, or an Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto (but not in respect of any claim or action brought by Borrower against any Indemnitee to enforce its rights hereunder or under any other
Credit Facility Document), and whether or not the transactions contemplated by the Credit Facility Documents are consummated (collectively, “Subject Claims”). 
  
 5.12.2 The foregoing indemnities shall not apply with respect to an Indemnitee, to the extent any such claim, penalty,
damage, loss, liability, obligation, cost, disbursement or expense incurred by or asserted or awarded against such Indemnitee is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, but shall continue to apply to other Indemnitees. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall not be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages
suffered by an Indemnitee, including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings of such Indemnitee, other than any such damages or losses imposed upon or asserted or awarded against any Indemnitee by a third party. 
  

 23 

 5.12.3 If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnitee or is
insufficient to hold it harmless, then Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of
Borrower and its equity holders on the one hand and such Indemnitee on the other hand in the matters contemplated by this Agreement and the other Credit Facility Documents as well as the relative fault of Borrower and such Indemnitee with respect to
such loss, claim, damage or liability and any other relevant equitable considerations. 
  
 5.12.4 The provisions of this Section 5.12 shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of Borrower’s obligations hereunder, and shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies of the Lenders. 
  
 5.12.5 In case any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any
Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify Borrower of the commencement thereof, and Borrower shall be entitled, at its expense, acting through counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnitee, to participate in, and, to the extent that
Borrower desires, to assume and control the defense thereof. Such Indemnitee shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in any action, suit or proceeding the defense of which has been assumed by Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Borrower shall not be entitled to assume and control the defense of any such action, suit or proceedings if and to the extent that, in the reasonable opinion of such Indemnitee and its counsel, such action, suit or proceeding involves the potential
imposition of criminal liability upon such Indemnitee or a conflict of interest between such Indemnitee and Borrower (unless such conflict of interest is waived in writing by the affected Indemnitees), and in such event (other than with respect to
disputes between such Indemnitee and another Indemnitee) Borrower shall pay the reasonable expenses of such Indemnitee in such defense to the extent provided in Sections 5.12.1 and 5.12.2. 
  
 5.12.6 Borrower shall promptly report to the relevant Indemnitee(s) on the
status of such action, investigation, suit or proceeding the defense of which is assumed by Borrower in accordance with Section 5.12.5, as material developments shall occur and from time to time as requested by such Indemnitee (but not more
frequently than every 60 days). Borrower shall deliver to such Indemnitee a copy of each document filed or served on any party in such action, investigation, suit or proceeding, and each material document which Borrower possesses relating to such
action, investigation, suit or proceeding. 
  
 5.12.7
Notwithstanding Borrower’s rights hereunder to control certain actions, investigations, suits or proceedings, if any Indemnitee reasonably determines that failure to compromise or settle any Subject Claim made against such Indemnitee is
reasonably likely to have an imminent and material adverse effect on such Indemnitee or such Indemnitee’s interest in Borrower, such Indemnitee shall be entitled to compromise or settle such Subject Claim; provided that such Indemnitee consults
with and coordinates such compromise or settlement with Borrower (although no prior consent by Borrower to any such compromise or settlement shall be required); and provided further that with respect to any Indemnitee other than a Lender, such right
may be exercised only with the consent of the Lender or Lenders which such Indemnitee is affiliated with or engaged by. Any such compromise or settlement shall be binding upon Borrower for the purposes of this Section 5.12. Notwithstanding
Borrower’s rights hereunder, 
  

 24 

 Borrower shall not be entitled to settle any Subject Claim of an Indemnitee without the prior written consent of such
Indemnitee or a full release of such Indemnitee, in form and substance satisfactory to such Indemnitee. Upon payment of any Subject Claim by Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.12 or other similar indemnity provisions contained herein to or on
behalf of an Indemnitee, Borrower, without any further action, shall be subrogated to any and all claims that such Indemnitee may have relating thereto, and such Indemnitee shall cooperate with Borrower and Borrower’s insurance carrier, and
give such further assurances as are necessary or advisable to enable Borrower vigorously to pursue such claims. 
  
 5.12.8 Any amounts payable by Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.12 shall be regularly payable within 30 days after Borrower receives an invoice for such
amounts from any applicable Indemnitee, and if not paid within such 30-day period, shall bear interest at the Default Rate. 
  
 5.12.9 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, except as provided in Section 5.12.1 or 5.12.5, Borrower shall not, in connection with
any one legal proceeding or claim, or separate but related proceedings or claims arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, in which the interests of the Indemnitees do not materially differ, be liable to the Indemnitees (or any
of them) under any of the provisions set forth in this Section 5.12 for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (which firm shall be selected by the affected Indemnitees, or upon failure to so select, by Administrative
Agent). 
  
 5.13 Federal Regulations. Borrower shall not
use any part of the proceeds of the Loans to purchase or carry any “margin stock” (within the meaning of Regulation U) or to purchase, carry or trade in any securities under such circumstances as to involve Borrower in a violation of
Regulation X or to involve any broker or dealer in Regulation T. 
  
 5.14 Transactions With Affiliates. Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any subsidiary to, enter into any transaction with any of its Affiliates (other than the Borrower or any subsidiary) unless such transaction is on terms no
less favorable to the Borrower or such subsidiary than if the transaction had been negotiated in good faith on an arm’s-length basis with a non-Affiliate. 
  

5.15 Restriction on Distributions. The Borrower shall not declare or pay any dividend (other than dividends payable in capital stock of the
Borrower) or make any other distribution on any shares of Common Stock, or make any loans to its Affiliates other than its subsidiaries (excluding inter-company payables that arise in the ordinary course of business) if the aggregate amount of all
such dividends and distributions after October 31, 2003 plus outstanding loans, would exceed the aggregate amount of (i) the Borrower’s Net Income Available for Common Dividends accumulated after May 31, 2003, (ii) the amount of any
contributions to the capital of the Borrower made with respect to its Common Stock and other amounts received by the Borrower upon the issuance of its Common Stock after October 31, 2003, plus (iii) $450,000,000. 
  
 For the purpose of this section, “Net Income Available for Common Dividends” shall
mean the consolidated Net Income of the Borrower excluding non-recurring, non-cash charges, after provision for all dividends accrued on any outstanding stock of the Borrower having preference over the Common Stock as to dividends.

agreements, under which Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary has outstanding Indebtedness (other than trade payables or non-recourse indebtedness), if the effect of such event or condition is to permit the acceleration of the maturity of such

effectively stayed within 30 days after its entry but only for 30 days after the date on which such stay is terminated or expires) or, in the case of injunctive relief, which if left unstayed could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse

Affiliates in excess of $5,000,000. 
  
 6.1.9 Security. Any of the
Credit Facility Documents, once executed and delivered, shall, except as the result of acts or omissions of Administrative Agent or the Lenders, fail to provide Administrative Agent and the Lenders the liens, security interest, rights, titles,
interest, remedies permitted by law, powers or privileges intended to be created thereby or cease to be in full force and effect (except as expressly contemplated by the terms thereof), or the validity thereof or the applicability thereof to the

 6.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default, Administrative Agent and the Lenders may, at the election of the Required Lenders, without further notice of default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor, or other notices or demands of
any kind, all such notices and demands other than notices required by this Agreement or any of the other Credit Facility Documents being waived (to the extent permitted by Governmental Rule), exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies,

 27 

 6.2.1 No Further Loans. Administrative Agent and the Lenders may refuse and shall not be obligated to

 6.2.2 Cure by
Administrative Agent. Without any obligation to do so but only during any time when a Loan is outstanding or any other amounts are due and owing hereunder to Administrative Agent or the Lenders, Administrative Agent may make disbursements or Loans
to or on behalf of Borrower to cure any Event of Default or Inchoate Default hereunder as the Required Lenders in their sole discretion may consider necessary or appropriate, whether to preserve and protect the Lenders’ interests under this
Agreement or any Credit Facility Documents or for any other reason, and all sums so expended, together with interest on such total amount at the Default Rate (but in no event shall the rate exceed the maximum lawful rate, if applicable), shall be

this Agreement, exceed the amount of the Total Commitment.

expressly waives, to pay Administrative Agent or the Lenders an amount in immediately available funds equal to the aggregate amount of any outstanding Loans; provided that in the event of an Event of Default occurring under Section 6.1.3 of
this Agreement with respect to Borrower, all such amounts shall become immediately due and payable without further act of Administrative Agent or the Lenders. 
  

ARTICLE VII. 
 ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT, SUBSTITUTION, AMENDMENTS, ETC. 
  
 7.1 Appointment,
Powers and Immunities. 
  
 7.1.1 Each Lender hereby appoints
and authorizes Administrative Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under the other Credit Facility Documents with such powers as are expressly delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Facility
Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any other Credit Facility Document, or be a
trustee for any Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Credit Facility Document or any Governmental Rule or
exposes Administrative Agent to any liability. Each of Administrative Agent, the Lenders and any of their respective Affiliates shall not be responsible to any other Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by Borrower
or its Affiliates contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document referred to or 
  

 28 

 provided for in, or received by Administrative Agent, or any Lender under this Agreement, for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, the Notes or any other document referred to or provided for herein or for any failure by Borrower, its respective Affiliates to perform their respective obligations
hereunder or thereunder. Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys in fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys in fact selected by it with reasonable care. 
  
 7.1.2 Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, employees or agents
shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Credit Facility Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until Administrative Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in
form satisfactory to Administrative Agent; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in
good faith by them in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Credit Facility
Document; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Credit Facility Document on the part of any party thereto or to inspect the property (including
the books and records) of Borrower or any other Person; and (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Credit Facility Document or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto. Except as otherwise provided under this Agreement and the other Credit Facility Documents, Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to the Credit Facility Documents as shall be
directed by the Majority Lenders or Required Lenders, as the case may be. 
  
 7.2 Reliance. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, notice or other document (including any cable, telegram, telecopy or telex) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to
have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. As to any other matters not expressly provided for
by this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action or exercise any discretion, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting upon instructions of the Majority Lenders or Required Lenders, as the case may be
(except that Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, any other Credit Facility Document or any Governmental Rule). Administrative
Agent shall in all cases (including when any action by Administrative Agent alone is authorized hereunder, if Administrative Agent elects in its sole discretion to obtain instructions from the Majority Lenders or Required Lenders, as the case may
be) be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any other Credit Facility Document in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, and such instructions of
the Majority Lenders or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders. 
  

 29 

 7.3 Non-Reliance. Each Lender represents that it has, independently and without reliance on
Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower and decision to enter into this Agreement and agrees that
it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own appraisals and decisions in taking or not
taking action under this Agreement. Each of Administrative Agent and any Lender shall not be required to keep informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower or its Affiliates under this Agreement or any other document referred to or
provided for herein or to make inquiry of, or to inspect the properties or books of Borrower or its Affiliates. 
  
 7.4 Defaults. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Inchoate Default or Event of Default,
unless such default relates to the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, or Administrative Agent has received a notice from a Lender or Borrower, referring to this
Agreement, describing such Inchoate Default or Event of Default and indicating that such notice is a notice of default. If Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of an Inchoate Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent
shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Inchoate Default or Event of Default as is provided in Article VI or if not provided for in Article VI, as Administrative Agent shall be
reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, however, unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from
taking such action, with respect to such Inchoate Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders. 
  
 7.5 Indemnification. Without limiting the Obligations of Borrower hereunder, each Lender agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent, ratably in
accordance with its Proportionate Share for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the
terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in refusing to take or to continue to take any action hereunder or under any other Credit Facility Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all
liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its Proportionate Share
of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, administration or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, the Credit
Facility Documents, to the extent that Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall not be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement of its expenses under this
Section 7.5 if it would not be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement under Sections 5.12 and 8.4, respectively. 
  

 30 

 7.6 Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign hereunder and under the 3-Year
Revolving Facility Credit Agreement at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, provided, however, that Administrative Agent may only resign hereunder if Administrative Agent, in its capacity as 3-Year
Credit Facility Administrative Agent, also resigns under the 3-Year Revolving Facility Credit Agreement. Administrative Agent may be removed involuntarily only for a material breach of its duties and obligations hereunder, under the other Credit
Facility Documents, under the 3-Year Revolving Facility Credit Agreement or under the other 3-Year Credit Facility Documents, or for gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder, under the 3-Year
Revolving Facility Credit Agreement, under the other Credit Facility Documents, or under the other 3-Year Credit Facility Documents and then only upon the affirmative vote of the Majority Lenders, and the affirmative vote of the 3-Year Credit
Facility Majority Lenders under Section 7.6 of the 3-Year Revolving Facility Credit Agreement (excluding Administrative Agent and 3-Year Credit Facility Administrative Agent from such votes and Administrative Agent’s Proportionate Share of the
Total Commitment and 3-Year Credit Agreement Administrative Agent’s Proportionate Share of the 3-Year Credit Facility Total Commitment from the amounts used to determine the portion of the Total Commitment and the 3-Year Credit Facility Total
Commitment necessary to constitute the required Proportionate Shares of the remaining Lenders and the remaining 3-Year Credit Facility Lenders). Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders, together with the 3-Year Credit Facility
Majority Lenders pursuant to Section 7.6 of the 3-Year Credit Agreement shall have the right to appoint the same successor Administrative Agent and 3-Year Credit Facility Administrative Agent hereunder and under the 3-Year Revolving Facility Credit
Agreement with the consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that Borrower’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time
hereunder. If no successor Administrative Agent and 3-Year Credit Facility Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and the 3-Year Credit Facility Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30
days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders with the consent of Borrower (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint the same successor Administrative Agent and 3-Year Credit Facility Administrative Agent hereunder and the 3-Year Revolving Facility Credit Agreement which shall be a Lender, if any Lender
shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be a commercial bank having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder and 3-Year Credit Facility Administrative
Agent under the 3-Year Credit Facility Documents by a successor Administrative Agent and 3-Year Credit Facility Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent and 3-Year Credit Facility Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and
become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and 3-Year Credit Facility Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent and 3-Year Credit Facility Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent and 3-Year Credit Facility Administrative Agent only under the Credit Facility Documents and under the 3-Year Credit Facility Documents. After any retiring Administrative
Agent’s and 3-Year Credit Facility Administrative 
  

 31 

 Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent and 3-Year Credit Facility Administrative Agent,
the provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent and 3-Year Credit Facility Administrative Agent under the Credit Facility Documents and under the
3-Year Credit Facility Documents. 
  
 7.7 Authorization.
Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Lenders to execute, deliver and perform each of the Credit Facility Documents to which Administrative Agent is or is intended to be a party and each Lender agrees to be bound by all of the agreements
of Administrative Agent contained in the Credit Facility Documents. Administrative Agent is further authorized by the Lenders to enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of curing any formal defect, inconsistency, omission or
ambiguity in this Agreement or any Credit Facility Document to which it is a party. 
  
 7.8 Administrative Agent’s Other Roles. With respect to its Commitments, the Loans made by it and any Notes issued to it, Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other
Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent. The term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. Administrative
Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any other Person, without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. For the
avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent may act as TECO Credit Facility Administrative Agent notwithstanding any potential or actual conflict of interest presented by the foregoing and Borrower and each of the Lenders hereby waives any claim
against Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates based upon any conflict of interest that Administrative Agent may have with regard to acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and acting in such other role. 
  
 7.9 Amendments; Waivers. Subject to the provisions of this Section
7.9, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement or another Credit Facility Document, the Majority Lenders (or Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Majority Lenders) and Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for
the purpose of adding, modifying or waiving any provisions to the Credit Facility Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or Borrower hereunder or waiving any Inchoate Default or Event of Default; provided,
however, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of all of the Lenders: 
  
 (a) Modify Section 2.1.4, 2.4.1, 2.4.2, 2.4.3, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 3.1 7.1, 7.13, or 7.14; or 
  
 (b) Reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority Lenders or Required Lenders; or 
  
 (c) Permit Borrower to assign its rights under this Agreement; or

  
 (d) Amend this Section 7.9 or amend any defined term set
forth herein, in any Credit Facility Document or in Exhibit A, to the extent such amendment would have the effect of violating the effect of the provisions of this Section 7.9; or 
  

 32 

 (e) Release any collateral from a lien securing the Obligations of Borrower hereunder or release any
funds from any account otherwise than in accordance with the terms hereof; or 
  
 (f) Extend the maturity of any Loans (including any extension of the Maturity Date) or any Notes or reduce the principal amount thereof; or 
  
 (g) Reduce the rate or change the time of payment of interest due on any Loan or any Note; or 
  
 (h) Reduce the amount or change the time of payment of any fee or other
amount due or payable; or 
  
 (i) Increase the amount of the
Commitment of any Lender. 
  
 7.10 Withholding Tax.

  
 7.10.1 If the forms or other documentation required by
Section 2.4.7 are not delivered to Administrative Agent, then Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender not providing such forms or other documentation, an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.

  
 7.10.2 If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the
United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that 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, was not properly executed, or because
such Lender failed to notify Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify Administrative Agent fully for all
amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs, and any out of pocket expenses. Borrower shall
not be responsible for any amounts paid or required to be paid by a Lender under this Section 7.10.2. 
  
 7.10.3 If any Lender sells, assigns, grants participations in, or otherwise transfers its rights under this Agreement, the purchaser, assignee, transferee
or participant shall comply with and be bound by the terms of Sections 2.4.7, 7.10.1 and 7.10.2 as though it were such Lender. 
  
 7.11 General Provisions as to Payments. Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender its pro rata share of each payment of
principal and interest payable to the Lenders on the Loans and of fees hereunder received by Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders and of any other amounts owing under the Loans. The payments made for the account of each Lender shall
be made, and distributed to it, for the account of (a) its domestic lending office in the case of payments of principal of, and interest on, its Base Rate Loans, (b) its domestic or foreign lending office, as each Lender may designate in writing to
Administrative 
  

 33 

 Agent, in the case of payments of principal of, and interest on, its LIBOR Loans and (c) its domestic lending office, or
such other lending office as it may designate for the purpose from time to time, in the case of payments of fees and other amounts payable hereunder. Each Lender shall have the right to alter its designated domestic lending office upon notice to
Administrative Agent and Borrower. 
  
 7.12 Substitution of
Lender. Should any Lender fail to make a Loan in violation of its obligations under this Agreement (a “Non-Advancing Lender”), Administrative Agent shall (a) in its sole discretion fund the Loan on behalf of the Non-Advancing
Lender (b) cooperate with Borrower or any other Lender to find another Person that shall be acceptable to Administrative Agent and Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing) and that shall be willing to assume the
Non-Advancing Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including the obligation to make the Loan which the Non-Advancing Lender failed to make but without assuming any liability for damages for failing to have made such Loan or any previously
required Loan). Subject to the provisions of the next following sentence, such Person shall be substituted for the Non-Advancing Lender hereunder upon the payment by such Person of all interest and fees owed to the Non-Advancing Lender and execution
and delivery to Administrative Agent of an agreement acceptable to Administrative Agent and Borrower by such Person assuming the Non-Advancing Lender’s obligations under this Agreement, and all interest and fees which would otherwise have been
payable to the Non-Advancing Lender shall thereafter be payable to such Person. Nothing in (and no action taken pursuant to) this Section 7.12 shall relieve the Non-Advancing Lender from any liability it might have to Borrower or to the other
Lenders as a result of its failure to make any Loan. 
  
 7.13
Participations. 
  
 7.13.1 Nothing herein provided shall
prevent any Lender from selling a participation in its Commitments (and/or Loans made thereunder); provided that (a) no such sale of a participation shall alter such Lender’s or Borrower’s obligations hereunder and (b) any agreement
pursuant to which any Lender may grant a participation in its rights with respect to its Commitments (and/or Loans) shall provide that, with respect to such Commitments (and/or Loans), subject to the following proviso, such Lender shall retain the
sole right and responsibility to exercise the rights of such Lender, and enforce the obligations of Borrower relating to such Commitments (and/or Loans), including the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Credit Facility Document and the right to take action to have the Notes declared due and payable pursuant to Article VI; provided, however, that such agreement may provide that the participant may have rights to approve or
disapprove decreases in principal, interest rates or fees, lengthening of maturity of any Loans, postponements of any due dates for payments hereunder. No recipient of a participation in any Commitments or Loans of any Lender shall have any rights
under this Agreement or shall be entitled to any reimbursement for taxes, other taxes, increased costs or reserve requirements under Section 2.6.3 or any other indemnity or payment rights against Borrower in excess of a proportionate amount which
would have been payable to the Lender from whom such Person acquired its participation. 
  
 7.13.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPC”), identified as such

  

 34 

 in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to Administrative Agent and Borrower, the option to provide to
Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (a) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan, and (b) if an SPC
elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the
Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all
liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after
the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.13, any SPC may (x) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of,
Borrower and Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by Borrower and Administrative Agent)
providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (y) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial
paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This section may not be amended without the written consent of all SPCs having outstanding Loans or Commitments hereunder. 
  
 7.14 Transfer of Commitments. Notwithstanding anything else herein to
the contrary (but subject to Section 7.13.2), any Lender, after receiving Administrative Agent’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and is
continuing, the prior written consent of Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) may, from time to time, at its option, sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or otherwise dispose of a portion of its Commitment (and Loans
made hereunder), in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, to any institution which in such assigning Lender’s judgment is reasonably capable of performing the obligations of a Lender hereunder
and reasonably experienced in corporate financing; provided, however, that in the case of an assignment by a Lender to another Lender or Affiliate of a Lender, the prior consent of Administrative Agent and Borrower shall not be
required and the minimum assignment amount specified above shall not apply as long as the assigning Lender continues to hold a Commitment of no less than $5,000,000. In the event of any assignment made pursuant to this Section 7.14, (a) the
assigning Lender’s Proportionate Share shall be reduced by the amount of the Proportionate Share assigned to the new Lender, (b) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver an appropriate agreement evidencing such sale, assignment,
transfer or other disposition, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and Borrower, (c) the parties to the sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition, excluding Borrower, shall collectively pay to Administrative
Agent an administrative fee of $3,500 and (d) at the assigning Lender’s option, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such new Lender Notes in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit B, in a principal

Collateral. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Facility Document to the contrary, any Lender may assign all or any portion of the Loans or Notes held by it as collateral security provided that any

power or remedy of the Lenders, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default 
  

 37

deemed a waiver of any other Event of Default, Inchoate Default or other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders
of any Event of Default, Inchoate Default or other breach or default under this Agreement or any other Credit Facility Document, or any waiver on the part of Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders of any provision or condition of this Agreement or

Lenders other than as set forth above.

therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by law), in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Credit Facility Documents or any act or omission or event occurring
in connection therewith; and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. 
  
 8.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE LENDERS, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND

 39 

 Borrower accept, for themselves and in respect of their property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the

stay or dismiss any action or proceeding under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Facility Document brought before the foregoing courts on the basis of forum non-conveniens.
