applicable projected production of the prospective customers, capital and other costs, operating and administrative expenses, scheduled Commercial Operation Date, commodity price assumptions and other factors deemed appropriate by Administrative
Agent); provided that such adjustment to Consolidated OpCo EBITDA occurs for the fiscal quarter in which construction or expansion of such Material Project 

  
 8 

 
commences and for each fiscal quarter thereafter until the Commercial Operation Date of such Material Project (including the fiscal quarter in which such Commercial Operation Date occurs, but net
of any actual Consolidated OpCo EBITDA attributable to such Material Project following such Commercial Operation Date to the extent such actual Consolidated OpCo EBITDA attributable to such Material Project was included in the calculation of
Consolidated OpCo EBITDA for such fiscal quarter); provided further that if the actual Commercial Operation Date does not occur by the scheduled Commercial Operation Date, then the foregoing amount shall be reduced, for quarters ending after the
scheduled Commercial Operation Date to (but excluding) the first full quarter after its Commercial Operation Date, by the following percentage amounts depending on the period of delay (based on the period of actual delay or then-estimated delay,
whichever is longer): (i) 90 days or less, 0%, (ii) longer than 90 days, but not more than 180 days, 25%, (iii) longer than 180 days but not more than 270 days, 50%, (iv) longer than 270 days but not more than 365 days, 75%, and
(v) longer than 365 days, 100%. 
 Beginning with the first full fiscal quarter following the Commercial Operation Date

Commercial Operation Date, may, at the Borrower’s option, be added to actual Consolidated OpCo EBITDA for such fiscal quarters. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) no such additions to Consolidated OpCo EBITDA for a Material Project shall be allowed
with respect to any Material Project unless: (i) at least 30 days (or such lesser period as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) prior to the beginning of the first fiscal quarter in which such Consolidated OpCo EBITDA

month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the
requested Borrowing. 
 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to
elect to convert or continue, any Eurodollar Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Termination Date. 

SECTION 2.03. [Reserved]. 

SECTION 2.04. Letters of Credit. 

(a) LC Banks. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may from time to time request any LC Bank to issue, extend or
amend one or more Letters of Credit hereunder. Any such request by the Borrower shall be notified to the Administrative Agent at least five Business Days prior to the date upon which the Borrower proposes that the applicable LC Bank

  
 32 

 
issue, extend or amend such Letter of Credit and in the case of an extension request, shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit D (or such other form as shall be approved by the
Administrative Agent and the applicable LC Bank) accompanied by the letter of credit application form of the LC Bank appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower including agreed-upon draft language for such Letter of
Credit reasonably acceptable to the applicable LC Bank. At no time shall (i) the aggregate LC Outstandings exceed the sum of the Commitments, (ii) the sum of the aggregate LC Outstandings under this Agreement exceed $250,000,000 or
(iii) the aggregate LC Outstandings of all Letters of Credit issued by any LC Bank exceed at any time such LC Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment. No LC Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: 

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain
such LC Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such LC Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such LC Bank shall prohibit, or
request that such LC Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such LC Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for
which such LC Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such LC Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such LC Bank in good faith
deems material to it; 
 (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such LC Bank
applicable to letters of credit generally; 
 (C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such LC Bank,
such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $10,000; 
 (D) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in
a currency other than Dollars; and 
 (E) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the
stated amount after any drawing thereunder. 
 No LC Bank shall be under any obligation to amend or extend any Letter of Credit if (A) such Issuing
Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment thereto. 

(b) Letters of Credit. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued (or the stated maturity thereof extended or terms thereof modified or
amended) on not less than five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly distribute copies thereof to the Lenders) and the applicable LC Bank. Each such notice (a “Request for
Issuance”) shall 

  
 33 

 
specify (i) the date (which shall be a Business Day) of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or the date of effectiveness of such extension, modification or amendment) and the stated expiry
date thereof (which shall be not later than the Termination Date), (ii) the proposed stated amount of such Letter of Credit and (iii) such other information as shall demonstrate compliance of such Letter of Credit with the
requirements specified therefor in this Agreement. Each Request for Issuance shall be irrevocable unless modified or rescinded by the Borrower not less than two days prior to the proposed date of issuance (or effectiveness) specified therein. If the
applicable LC Bank shall have approved the form of such Letter of Credit (or such extension, modification or amendment thereof), such LC Bank shall not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the proposed date specified in such Request for
Issuance, and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions precedent and the other requirements set forth herein and as otherwise agreed to between such LC Bank and the Borrower, issue (or extend, amend or modify) such Letter of Credit and provide
notice and a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall furnish (x) to each Lender, a copy of such notice and (y) to each Lender that may so request, a copy of such Letter of Credit. 

(c) Reimbursement on Demand. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.04(d) hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay (whether with
the proceeds of Loans made pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) to the applicable LC Bank on demand (i) on and after each date on which such LC Bank shall pay any amount under any Letter of Credit issued by such LC Bank a sum equal to such
amount so paid (which sum shall constitute a demand loan from such LC Bank to the Borrower from the date of such payment by such LC Bank until so paid by the Borrower), plus (ii) interest on any amount remaining unpaid by the Borrower to such
LC Bank under clause (i), above, from the date such sum becomes payable on demand until payment in full, at a rate per annum which is equal to 2% plus the then applicable Alternate Base Rate until paid in full. 

(d) Loans for Unreimbursed LC Disbursements. If any LC Bank shall make any payment under any Letter of Credit and if the conditions
precedent set forth in Section 3.03 of this Agreement have been satisfied as of the date of such honor, then, each Lender’s payment made to such LC Bank pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.04 in respect of such
Unreimbursed LC Disbursement shall be deemed to constitute an ABR Loan made for the account of the Borrower by such Lender. Each such ABR Loan shall mature and be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the first
March 31, June 30, September 30 or December 31 to occur following the date such ABR Loan is made and (ii) the Termination Date. 

(e) Participation; Reimbursement of the LC Banks. 

(i) Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit by any LC Bank (and, in the case of the Existing Letters of Credit, on the
Effective Date), such LC Bank hereby sells and transfers to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such LC Bank, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage in and to such Letter of
Credit, including the obligations of such LC Bank under and in respect thereof and the Borrower’s reimbursement and other obligations in respect thereof, whether now existing or hereafter arising. 

  
 34 

 (ii) If any LC Bank shall not have been reimbursed in full for any payment made
by such LC Bank under any Letter of Credit issued by such LC Bank on the date of such payment, such LC Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such non-reimbursement and
the amount thereof. Upon receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Bank an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Unreimbursed LC
Disbursement, plus interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from the date of such payment by such LC Bank to the date of payment to such LC Bank by such Lender. All such payments by each Lender shall be
made in United States dollars and in same day funds not later than 3:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the later to occur of (A) the Business Day immediately following the date of such payment by the applicable LC Bank and (B) the
Business Day on which such Lender shall have received notice of such non-reimbursement; provided, however, that if such notice is received by such Lender later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day, such payment shall be
payable on the next Business Day. Each Lender agrees that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. If a Lender shall have paid to the applicable LC Bank its ratable portion of any
Unreimbursed LC Disbursement, together with all interest thereon required by the second sentence of this subparagraph (ii), such Lender shall be entitled to receive its ratable share of all interest paid by the Borrower in respect of such
Unreimbursed LC Disbursement. If such Lender shall have made such payment to the applicable LC Bank, but without all such interest thereon required by the second sentence of this subparagraph (ii), such Lender shall be entitled to receive its
ratable share of the interest paid by the Borrower in respect of such Unreimbursed LC Disbursement only from the date it shall have paid all interest required by the second sentence of this subparagraph (ii). 

(iii) The failure of any Lender to make any payment to the applicable LC Bank in accordance with subparagraph (ii) above,
shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make payment, but neither such LC Bank nor any Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make such payment. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment to the
applicable LC Bank in accordance with subparagraph (ii) above, then such Lender shall pay to such LC Bank forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day until the date such amount is repaid to such LC
Bank at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall in any way limit, waive or otherwise reduce any claims that any party hereto may have against any non-performing Lender. 

(f) Obligations Absolute. The payment obligations of each Lender under Section 2.04(e) and of the Borrower under
Section 2.04(c) of this Agreement in respect of any payment under any Letter of Credit and any Loan made under Section 2.04(d) shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: 
 (i) any lack of validity or
enforceability of any Credit Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto or to such Letter of Credit; 

  
 35 

 (ii) any amendment or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, all or any of
the Credit Documents; 
 (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other
right which the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary, or any transferee, of such Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any LC Bank, or any other Person, whether in
connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or by such Letter of Credit, or any unrelated transaction; 

(iv) any statement or any other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or
insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 
 (v) payment in good faith
by the applicable LC Bank under the Letter of Credit issued by such LC Bank against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or 

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 

(g) Liability of LC Banks and the Lenders. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of
any Letter of Credit. Neither the LC Banks, the Lenders nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or Affiliates shall be liable or responsible for (i) the use that may be made of such Letter of Credit or any acts or
omissions of any beneficiary or transferee thereof in connection therewith; (ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid,
insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (iii) payment by any LC Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to
such Letter of Credit; or (iv) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under such Letter of Credit, except that the Borrower or any Lender shall have the right to bring suit against the applicable LC Bank,
and such LC Bank shall be liable to the Borrower and any Lender, to the extent of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower or such Lender which were caused by such LC Bank’s wilful misconduct or gross negligence
as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment, including such LC Bank’s wilful or grossly negligent failure to make timely payment under such Letter of Credit following the presentation to it by the
beneficiary thereof of a draft and accompanying certificate(s) which strictly comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the applicable LC Bank may accept sight drafts and
accompanying certificates presented under the Letter of Credit issued by such LC Bank that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be obligated to indemnify the Borrower for damages caused by any LC Bank’s wilful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable
judgment, and the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Lenders hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, notwithstanding the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of any LC Bank. 

  
 36 

 (h) Transitional Provision. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in
Sections 3.02 and 3.03, from and after the Effective Date the Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.04. 

(i) LC Bank Agreements. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each LC Bank shall report in writing to the
Administrative Agent (i) promptly following the end of each calendar month, the aggregate amount of Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding at the end of such month, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such LC Bank
expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after
giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), it being understood that such LC Bank shall not permit any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the
amount of any Letter of Credit to occur without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that it is then permitted under this Agreement, (iii) on each Business Day on which such LC Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the
date of such LC Disbursement and the amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such LC Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the
amount of such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. 

SECTION 2.05. Funding of Borrowings. 

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds
by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so
received, in like funds, to an account established and maintained by the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s office in New York City. 

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

  
 37 

 SECTION 2.06. Interest Elections. 

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type or Types specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar
Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may
elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of such Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the
Loans comprising the affected Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. 
 (b) To make
an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.02 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the
Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election; provided, however, with regard to any election pursuant to this Section 2.06 related to a Eurodollar Borrowing, notice of election shall be delivered not later
than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the
Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in substantially the form of Exhibit F (or such other form as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent) and signed by the Borrower. 

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to
different portions of such Borrowing, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Type of Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting
Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a
Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and 

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to
such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 

  
 38 

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

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

SECTION 2.07. Mandatory Termination or Reduction of Commitments. 

Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Termination Date. 

SECTION 2.08. Mandatory Prepayments. 

(a) If at any time the Total Outstanding Principal exceeds the Aggregate Commitments then in effect for any reason whatsoever (including,
without limitation, as a result of any reduction in the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to Section 2.09), the Borrower shall prepay Loans or cash collateralize LC Exposure in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to the final
paragraph of Section 8.01, as applicable, in such aggregate amount (together with accrued interest thereon to the extent required by Section 2.13) as shall be necessary so that, after giving effect to such prepayment, the Total Outstanding
Principal does not exceed the Aggregate Commitments. 
 (b) Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be accompanied
by the Borrower’s payment of any amounts payable under Section 2.16 in connection with such prepayment. Prepayments of Revolving Loans shall be applied ratably to the Loans so prepaid. 

SECTION 2.09. Optional Reduction or Termination of Commitments. 

(a) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments (including the unused Letter of Credit Commitments of
the LC Banks); provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $10,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any
concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the Total Outstanding Principal would exceed the Aggregate Commitments thereafter in effect. 

(b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under Section 2.09(a) at
least five Business Days prior to the effective 

  
 39 

 
date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the
contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the
effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction
of the Commitments shall be permanent. 
 (c) Each reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be made ratably
among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments immediately preceding such reduction. 
 SECTION 2.10.
Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 
 (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent
(i) for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Termination Date and (ii) for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each ABR Loan deemed to be made pursuant to
Section 2.04(d) on the maturity date therefor as determined pursuant to Section 2.04(d). 
 (b) Each Lender shall maintain in
accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from
time to time hereunder. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan
made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any
sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (d) The Register
and the corresponding entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the
failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and
deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in substantially the form of Exhibit F. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after
assignment pursuant to Section 11.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein and its registered assigns. 

  
 40 

 SECTION 2.11. Optional Prepayment of Loans. 

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice
in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section. 
 (b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by
telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an
ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion
thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such
notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Each such telephonic notice of prepayment shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a prepayment notice in substantially the form of
Exhibit H (or such other form as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent) and signed by the Borrower. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents
thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, it being understood that the foregoing
minimum shall not apply to the prepayment in whole of the outstanding Revolving Loans of all Lenders. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Revolving Borrowing. Prepayments shall be
accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13 and by any amounts payable under Section 2.16 in connection with such prepayment. 

SECTION 2.12. Fees. 

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee (each a “Facility
Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender (whether used or unused) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment
terminates; provided that, if such Lender continues to have any Revolving Credit Exposure after its Commitment terminates, then such Facility Fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure

as on which there shall cease to be any LC Outstandings. Accrued LC Risk Participation Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments terminate,
commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that any LC Risk Participation Fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All LC Risk Participation Fees shall be

“Ticking Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate for Facility Fees (calculated at Level III Status) on the daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the date that is ninety
(90) days after the Closing Date to but excluding the earlier of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) the date on which such Commitment terminates. The accrued Ticking Fee shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June,
September and December of each year and on the earlier of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) the date on which such Commitment terminates, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date that is ninety (90) days after the
Closing Date. All Ticking Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 

(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and Barclays Bank PLC, in each case, for
its own account and for the account of the other Persons entitled thereto, the fees provided for in the applicable fee letter dated November 7, 2014, executed and delivered with respect to the credit facility provided for herein, in each case,
in the amounts and at the times set forth therein and in immediately available funds. 
 (e) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid in
immediately available funds. Fees due and paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

 (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus
the Applicable Rate. 

  
 42 

 (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum
equal to the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as
before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided above or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate

 (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount
repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall

first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

 (a) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or 
 (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the
Required Lenders that the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and,
until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 

  
 43 

 SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs. If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar
assessment or requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any LC Bank (except any such reserve requirement described in paragraph (e) of this Section); 

(ii) impose on any Lender or any LC Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or
Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or participation therein or Unreimbursed LC Disbursements or Letters of Credit and participations therein; or 

(iii) subject the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes
described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, Letter of Credit Commitment or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or
capital attributable thereto; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such LC
Bank of making, continuing, converting to or maintaining any Loan or Unreimbursed LC Disbursement or issuing or maintaining Letters of Credit and participation interests therein (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or issue or
participate in such Letter of Credit) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such LC Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or such LC Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such LC Bank for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b) If any Lender or any LC Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such LC Bank’s capital or on the capital of its holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement to a level below that which such Lender or such LC Bank or its holding
company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration its policies and the policies of its holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or
such LC Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the applicable LC Bank, as the case may be, setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate it or
its holding company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10
days after receipt thereof. 

  
 44 

 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any LC Bank to demand compensation pursuant to
this Section shall not constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than ninety
days prior to the date that such Lender or such LC Bank notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of its intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further that, if the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the ninety day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

(e) The Borrower shall pay (without duplication as to amounts paid under this Section 2.15) to each Lender, so long as such Lender shall
be required under regulations of the Board to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan of such Lender,
from the date of such Loan until such principal amount is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period for such Loan from (ii) the rate
obtained by dividing such LIBO Rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage of such Lender for such Interest Period, payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan. Such additional interest
determined by such Lender and notified to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, accompanied by the calculation of the amount thereof, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. 

(f) If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any
Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to
purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans or to
convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower
shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully
continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the
amount so prepaid or converted. 
 SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Revolving Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under
Section 2.11(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar 

  
 45 

 
Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall
compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be
equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of
the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable
on such deposit were equal to the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, over (y) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at
the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for dollar deposit from other banks in the eurodollar market at the commencement of such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that
such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after
receipt thereof. 
 SECTION 2.17. Taxes. 

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction
for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent,
then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and (ii) if
such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the amount payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions and withholdings of Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. 

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes
(including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Recipient and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly
or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or any LC Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of
a Lender or any LC Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by
a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original 

  
 46 

 
or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) 

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any
Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such
other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or
information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(e)(ii)(A) and
(ii)(B) and Section 2.17(f) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice
the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 
 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on
which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S.
federal backup withholding tax; 
 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (1) in the
case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Credit Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as
applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Credit Document, IRS Form
W-8BEN or 

  
 47 

 
IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of
such tax treaty; 
 (2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of
the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the
Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of
IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable); or 
 (4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner,
executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents
from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S.
Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; and 

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 

Each Lender agrees that if any documentation, form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any
respect, it shall update such documentation, form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(f) If a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender
were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 

  
 48 

 
1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the
amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

(g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has
been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.17(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other
charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17(g), in no event will
the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.17(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would
have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This
paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

(h) For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. 

SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-Offs. 

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or under
Section 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 or 11.03, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the
discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its office listed in
Section 11.01(b), except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 11.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of
any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be 

  
 49 

 
extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall
be made in Dollars. 
 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all
amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then
due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. 

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or
interest on any of the Obligations owing to it resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of such Obligations and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the
Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans of, or other Obligations owing to, other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared
by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans or other Obligations, as applicable; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and
all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be
construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans
to any assignee or participant, other than to any Guarantor, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower or any Guarantor (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower and each Guarantor consent to
the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower and each Guarantor rights of set-off and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower or such Guarantor in the amount of such participation. 

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon
such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed
to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. 

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(e), 2.05(b) or 2.18(d), then the
Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such
Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 (f) None of the funds or assets of the Borrower that are used to pay any
amount due pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute funds obtained from transactions with or relating to Anti-Corruption Laws or Sanctions. 

  
 50 

 SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation from the Borrower under either of Sections 2.15 and 2.17 for any losses, costs or
other liabilities shall use reasonable efforts (including, without limitation, reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office of such Lender for funding or booking its Loans or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of
its offices, branches or affiliates) to mitigate the amount of such losses, costs and other liabilities, if such efforts can be made and such mitigation can be accomplished without such Lender suffering (i) any economic disadvantage for which
such Lender does not receive full indemnity from the Borrower under this Agreement or (ii) otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. 

(b) In determining the amount of any claim for reimbursement or compensation under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, each Lender will use
reasonable methods of calculation consistent with such methods customarily employed by such Lender in similar situations. 
 (c) Each Lender
will notify the Borrower either directly or through the Administrative Agent of any event giving rise to a claim under Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 promptly after the occurrence thereof which notice shall be accompanied by a certificate of
such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances of such claim. 
 (d) If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower
may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.04, provided
that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive the $3,500 processing and recordation fee in connection therewith), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each LC Bank, which consent, in the
case of the Administrative Agent, shall not unreasonably be withheld and, in the case of each LC Bank, may be given or withheld in the sole discretion of such LC Bank, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of
all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, 

  
 51 

 
such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver
by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 

SECTION 2.20. Defaulting Lenders. 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions
shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a) fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender
pursuant to Section 2.12(a); 
 (b) the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in
determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 11.02); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the
vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby; 

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

(i) so long as no Default shall be continuing, all or any part of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be
reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does
not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and to the extent the sum of each non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment; 

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall
within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the applicable LC Bank only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving
effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in the last paragraph of Section 8.01 for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding; 

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause
(ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) or the applicable LC Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b)(x) (solely with respect to any fronting fee), in each case with
respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized; 

  
 52 

 (iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to
clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; 

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant
to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any LC Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all Facility Fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the
portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the applicable LC
Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and 
 (vi) so long as such
Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no LC Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is reasonably satisfied that (i) the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be
100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and (ii) participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of
Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). 

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event
shall continue or (ii) any LC Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, no LC Bank shall be required to issue,
amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the applicable LC Bank, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the applicable LC Bank to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder. 

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the LC Banks each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all
matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the
other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 

SECTION 2.21. Extension of Termination Date. 

(a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time not more than sixty (60) days and not less than thirty (30) days prior to any
anniversary of the Effective Date (other than the Termination Date), by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders), request that each Lender extend (each such date on which an extension occurs, an
“Extension Date”) such Lender’s Termination Date to the date that is one year after the Termination Date then in effect for such Lender (the “Existing Termination Date”). 

  
 53 

 (b) Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the
Administrative Agent given not later than the date that is 10 Business Days after the date on which the Administrative Agent received the Borrower’s extension request (the “Lender Notice Date”), advise the Administrative
Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension (each Lender that determines to so extend its Termination Date, an “Extending Lender”). Each Lender that determines not to so extend its Termination Date (a
“Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Lender Notice Date), and any Lender that does not so advise the Administrative
Agent on or before the Lender Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree, and it is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have
any obligation whatsoever to agree to any request made by the Borrower for extension of the Termination Date. 
 (c) The Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of each Lender’s determination under this Section. 
 (d) The Borrower shall have the right,
but shall not be obligated, on or before the applicable Termination Date for any Non-Extending Lender to replace such Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more financial institutions
that are not Ineligible Institutions (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) approved by the Administrative Agent and the LC Banks in accordance with the procedures provided in Section 2.19(d), each of which Additional
Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.04, with the Borrower obligated to pay any applicable processing or recordation fee; provided,
that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive the $3,500 processing and recordation fee in connection therewith) with such Non-Extending Lender, pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lenders shall, effective on or
before the applicable Termination Date for such Non-Extending Lender, assume a Commitment (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s Commitment hereunder on such
date). Prior to any Non-Extending Lender being replaced by one or more Additional Commitment Lenders pursuant hereto, such Non-Extending Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, by giving irrevocable notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower (which notice shall set forth such Lender’s new Termination Date), to become an Extending Lender. The Administrative Agent may effect such amendments to this Agreement as are reasonably necessary to provide solely for any such
extensions with the consent of the Borrower but without the consent of any other Lenders. 
 (e) If (and only if) the total of the
Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed to extend their Termination Date and the new or increased Commitments of any Additional Commitment Lenders is more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect immediately prior to the
applicable Extension Date, then, effective as of the applicable Extension Date, the Termination Date of each Extending Lender and of each Additional Commitment Lender shall be extended to the date that is one year after the then Existing Termination
Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Termination Date as so extended shall be the immediately preceding Business Day) and each Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this
Agreement and shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Lender hereunder and shall have the obligations of a Lender 

  
 54 

 
hereunder. For purposes of clarity, it is acknowledged and agreed that the Termination Date on any date of determination shall not be a date more than five (5) years after such date of
determination, whether such determination is made before or after giving effect to any extension request made hereunder. 
 (f)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) no more than two (2) extensions of the Termination Date shall be permitted hereunder and (y) any extension of any Termination Date pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall not be effective with
respect to any Extending Lender unless: 
 (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the
applicable Extension Date and immediately after giving effect thereto; 
 (ii) the representations and warranties of the
Borrower set forth in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the applicable Extension Date and after giving effect thereto, as though made on and as of such date (or to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer
to an earlier date, as of such earlier date); and 
 (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate dated
as of the applicable Extension Date from the Borrower signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower (A) certifying the accuracy of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) and (B) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by
the Borrower approving or consenting to such extension. 
 (g) On the Termination Date of each Non-Extending Lender, (i) the Commitment
of each Non-Extending Lender shall automatically terminate and (ii) the Borrower shall repay such Non-Extending Lender in accordance with Section 2.09 (and shall pay to such Non-Extending Lender all of the other Obligations owing to it
under this Agreement) and after giving effect thereto shall prepay any Revolving Loans outstanding on such date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.16) to the extent necessary to keep outstanding Revolving Loans
ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages of the respective Lenders effective as of such date, and the Administrative Agent shall administer any necessary reallocation of the Revolving Credit Exposures (without regard to any minimum borrowing,
pro rata borrowing and/or pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement). 
 (h) This Section shall supersede any
provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 11.02 to the contrary.

long as any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder or any principal of any Loan, Unreimbursed LC Disbursement, interest or fees payable hereunder shall remain unpaid or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding, no Loan Party will and will
not allow any Credit Party to, without the written consent of the Required Lenders: 
 (a) Limitation on Liens.
Create or suffer to exist, or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to create or suffer to exist, any lien, security interest, or other charge or encumbrance (collectively, “Liens”) upon or with respect to any of its

of Debt for Borrowed Money of any Person, without in any such case effectively securing, prior to or concurrently with the creation, issuance, assumption or guaranty of any such Debt for Borrowed Money, the Obligations (together with, if any
Guarantor shall so determine, any other Debt for Borrowed Money of or guaranteed by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries ranking equally with the Loans and Unreimbursed LC Disbursements and then existing or
thereafter created) equally and ratably with (or prior to) such Debt for Borrowed Money; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to or prevent the creation or existence of: 

(i) (A) Liens on any property acquired, constructed or improved by the Credit Parties after the date of this Agreement
that are created or assumed prior to, contemporaneously with, or within 180 days after, such acquisition or completion of such construction or improvement, to secure or provide for the payment of all or any part of the purchase price of such
property or the cost of such construction or improvement; or (B) in addition to Liens contemplated by clauses (ii) and (iii) below, Liens on any property existing at the time of acquisition thereof, provided that the Liens shall not

for Borrowed Money so secured at the time of such extension, 

  
 67 

 
renewal or replacement (which, for purposes of this limitation as it applies to a synthetic lease, shall be deemed to be (x) the lessor’s original cost of the property subject to such
lease at the time of extension, renewal or replacement, less (y) the aggregate amount of all prior payments under such lease allocated pursuant to the terms of such lease to reduce the principal amount of the lessor’s investment,
and borrowings by the lessor, made to fund the original cost of the property), and that such extension, renewal or replacement shall be limited to all or a part of the property or indebtedness which secured the Lien so extended, renewed or replaced
(plus improvements on such property); 
 (viii) Any Lien, other than a Lien described in any of the foregoing
clauses (i) through (vi), inclusive, to the extent that it secures Debt for Borrowed Money, or guaranties thereof, the outstanding principal balance of which at the time of creation of such Lien, when added to the aggregate principal balance of
all Debt for Borrowed Money secured by Liens incurred under this clause (viii) then outstanding, does not exceed $200,000,000.

any time any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall create, issue, assume or guaranty any Debt for Borrowed Money secured by any Lien and the first paragraph of this Section 6.01(a) requires that the Loans be secured equally and ratably
with such Debt for Borrowed Money, the Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Lender:

compliance with Article VII after giving effect to such transaction, on a Pro Forma Basis as if such transaction had occurred on the last day of the Borrower or such Guarantor’s fiscal quarter then most recently ended); provided further
that in the case of any merger or consolidation of OpCo into the Borrower or

basis as if such transaction had occurred on the last day of such Guarantor’s fiscal quarter then most recently ended). 
 (c)
Sales, Etc. of Assets. Sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or permit any Restricted Subsidiary of any Credit Party to sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of (other than in connection with a transaction

of any investment, Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time and (ii) a return on any investment by any Credit Party in Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the preceding sentence in an amount equal to the fair market value at
the date of such designation of such Credit Party’s investment in such Subsidiary.

 79 

 
Event described in clauses (c) through (e) of the definition of ERISA Event shall have occurred and then exist, the liability related thereto) is equal to or greater than $10,000,000 (when

such Multiemployer Plans for the respective plan year of each such Multiemployer Plan immediately preceding the plan year in which the reorganization or termination occurs by an amount exceeding $10,000,000 (when aggregated with clauses (ix), (x)

Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare all amounts payable under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further
notice of any 

  
 80 

 
kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided that in the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Credit Party under the
Federal Bankruptcy Code, (1) the Commitment of each Lender and the obligation of each LC Bank to issue or maintain Letters of Credit hereunder shall automatically be terminated and (2) all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and
payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no notice given or declaration made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Section 8.01 shall affect (i) the obligation of any LC Bank to make any payment under any outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such LC Bank in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (ii) the obligations of each Lender in
respect of each such Letter of Credit; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, upon
notice to the Borrower, require the Borrower to deposit with the Administrative Agent an amount in the cash account (the “Cash Account”) described below equal to the then current LC Outstandings. Such Cash Account shall at
all times be free and clear of all rights or claims of third parties. The Cash Account shall be maintained with the Administrative Agent in the name of, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent, and amounts deposited in
the Cash Account shall bear interest at a rate equal to the rate generally offered by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. for deposits equal to the amount deposited by the Borrower in the Cash Account pursuant to this Section 8.01, for a term to be
agreed to between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. If any drawings under any Letter of Credit then outstanding or thereafter made are not reimbursed in full immediately upon demand or, in the case of subsequent drawings, upon being made,
then, in any such event, the Administrative Agent may apply the amounts then on deposit in the Cash Account, in such priority as the Administrative Agent shall elect, toward the payment in full of any or all of the Borrower’s obligations
hereunder as and when such obligations shall become due and payable. Upon payment in full, after the termination of the Letters of Credit, of all such obligations, the Administrative Agent will repay to the Borrower any cash then on deposit in the
Cash Account. 
 ARTICLE IX 

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 

SECTION 9.01. The Administrative Agent. 

(a) Each of the Lenders and each LC Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative
Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 

(b) The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other
Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the any Loan Party or any of such Loan
Party’s Subsidiaries or other Affiliates thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. 

  
 81 

 (c) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Administrative Agent
shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required
Lenders, and (iii) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their
respective other Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the
consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or, if applicable, all of the Lenders) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and
until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (1) any statement, warranty or representation made
in or in connection with this Agreement, (2) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (3) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions
set forth herein, (4) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (5) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than
to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent and the conformity thereof to such express requirement. 

(d) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request,
certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and
believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for a Loan Party) independent accountants and other experts selected
by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

(e) The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents
appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding
paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for
herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
 (f) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent
as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Loan Parties. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the 

  
 82 

 
right, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), to appoint a successor, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation,
then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank, in any event having total assets in excess
of $500,000,000 and who shall serve until such time, if any, as an Agent shall have been appointed as provided above. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor
Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and
Section 11.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 

(g) Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on
such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document
furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 (h) No Lender identified on the signature pages of this Agreement as a “Lead Arranger”,
“Co-Documentation Agent” or “Syndication Agent”, or that is given any other title hereunder other than “LC Bank” or “Administrative Agent”, shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or
duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Lender so identified as a “Lead Arranger”, “Co-Documentation Agent” or “Syndication
Agent” or that is given any other title hereunder, shall have, or be deemed to have, any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on the Lenders so identified in deciding to
enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 
 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any
other Credit Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and in the other Credit Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such
enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.01 for the benefit of all the Lenders and LC Banks; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i)
the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, (ii) the LC Banks from exercising the
rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as LC Bank) hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, (iii) any Lender from exercising setoff 

  
 83 

 
rights in accordance with Section 11.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.18(c)) or (iv) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf
during the pendency of a Bankruptcy Event relative to any Loan Party; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, then (A) the Required
Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.01 and (B) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.18(c), any
Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders. 

(j) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Extensions of Credit made hereunder are commercial loans and letters of credit and not
investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each
Lender shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities
laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a Lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder. 

ARTICLE X 
 GUARANTY

 SECTION 10.01. The Guaranty. 

(a) Each Guarantor, as primary obligor and not merely as a surety, hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders and each of their respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns (each a “Beneficiary” and collectively, the “Beneficiaries”) the prompt and complete
payment by the Borrower, as and when due and payable, of the Obligations, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents. The provisions of this Article X are sometimes referred to hereinafter as the “Guaranty”.

 (b) Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents,
regardless of any law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any such terms or the rights of the Beneficiaries with respect thereto. The obligations and liabilities of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and
unconditional irrespective of: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Obligations or any Credit Document, or any delay, failure or omission to enforce or agreement not to enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by
operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise of any right with respect to the foregoing (including, in each case, without limitation, as a result of the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Beneficiary, the Borrower or any

  
 84 

 
other Person); (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term in respect of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or consent to any
departure from the Credit Documents or any agreement or instrument relating thereto; (iii) any exchange or release of, or non-perfection of any Lien on or in any collateral, or any release, amendment or waiver of, or consent to any departure from,
any other guaranty of, or agreement granting security for, all or any of the Obligations; (iv) any claim, set-off, counterclaim, defense or other rights that such Guarantor may have at any time and from time to time against any Beneficiary or any
other Person, whether in connection with this Transaction or any unrelated transaction; or (v) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any other guarantor or surety in respect
of the Obligations or such Guarantor in respect hereof. 
 (c) The Guaranty provided for herein (i) is a guaranty of payment and not of
collection; (ii) is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments and Letters of Credit have been terminated and the Obligations have been paid in full in cash; and (iii) shall continue to be effective or
shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Beneficiary upon or as a result of the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution,
liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 
 (d) The obligations and
liabilities of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by any Beneficiary or any other Person at any time of any right or remedy against the Borrower or any other Person that may be or become liable in
respect of all or any part of the Obligations or against any collateral security or guaranty therefor or right of setoff with respect thereto. 

(e) Each Guarantor hereby consents that, without the necessity of any reservation of rights against such Guarantor and without notice to or
further assent by such Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by any Beneficiary may be rescinded by such Beneficiary and any of the Obligations continued after such rescission. 

(f) Each Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty shall be unconditional, irrespective of any lack of capacity of the Borrower or any
lack of validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, and this Guaranty shall not be affected in any way by any variation, extension, waiver, compromise or release of any or all of the Obligations
or of any security or guaranty from time to time therefor. 
 (g) The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be
reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any proceeding or action, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, marshalling of assets, assignment for the benefit of
creditors, composition with creditors, readjustment, liquidation or arrangement of the Borrower or any similar proceedings or actions, or by any defense the Borrower may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative
body resulting from any such proceeding or action. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts and obligations that constitute the Obligations and would be owed by the Borrower, but
for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of any such proceeding or action. 

  
 85 

 SECTION 10.02. Waivers. 

(a) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally waives: (i) promptness and diligence; (ii) notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders upon this Guaranty or acceptance of this Guaranty; (iii) notice of the incurrence of any Obligation by the Borrower or the renewal, extension or accrual of any Obligation or of any circumstances affecting the Borrower’s
financial condition or ability to perform the Obligations; (iv) notice of any actions taken by the Beneficiaries or the Borrower or any other Person under any Credit Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; (v) all other
notices, demands and protests, and all other formalities of every kind in connection with the enforcement of the Obligations, of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder or under any other Credit Document, the omission of or delay in which, but
for the provisions of this Section 10 might constitute grounds for relieving such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder; (vi) any requirement that the Beneficiaries protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto,
or exhaust any right or take any action against the Borrower or any other Person or any collateral; and (vii) each other circumstance, other than payment of the Obligations in full, that might otherwise result in a discharge or exoneration of, or
constitute a defense to, such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. 
 (b) No failure on the part of any Beneficiary to exercise, and no
delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any Credit Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy,
power or privilege hereunder or under any Credit Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. This Guaranty is in
addition to and not in limitation of any other rights, remedies, powers and privileges the Beneficiaries may have by virtue of any other instrument or agreement heretofore, contemporaneously herewith or hereafter executed by any Guarantor or any
other Person or by applicable law or otherwise. All rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Beneficiaries shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Beneficiaries under
this Guaranty against each Guarantor are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by the Beneficiaries to exercise any of their rights, remedies, powers or privileges against any other guarantor or surety or under the Credit Documents or any
other agreement or instrument relating thereto against the Borrower or against any other Person. 
 (c) Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges
and agrees that, until the Commitments have been terminated and all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash, under no circumstances shall it be entitled to be subrogated to any rights of any Beneficiary in respect of the Obligations
performed by it hereunder or otherwise, and each Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably waives, until the Commitments have been terminated and all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash, (i) each and every such right of subrogation
and any claims, reimbursements, right or right of action relating thereto (howsoever arising), and (ii) each and every right to contribution, indemnification, set-off or reimbursement, whether from the Borrower or any other Person now or hereafter
primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, and whether arising by contract or operation of law or otherwise by reason of each Guarantor’s execution, delivery or performance of this Guaranty. 

(d) Each Guarantor represents and warrants that it has established adequate means of keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial
condition and of other circumstances affecting the Borrower’s ability to perform the Obligations, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to provide to such Guarantor any information it may
have, or hereafter receive, in respect of the Borrower.

 Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail,
shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of
business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices delivered through Electronic Systems, to the extent provided in paragraph (e) below, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (e). 

(d) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by using Electronic Systems pursuant to procedures
approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its
discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed
received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or
communications posted to an Internet or intranet website, including an Electronic System, shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification
that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the
recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient. 

(f) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties
hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt. 

(g) Electronic Systems. 

(i) The Borrower and each Lender agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make Communications
(as defined below) available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or a substantially similar Electronic System. 

  
 88 

 (ii) Any Electronic System used by the Administrative Agent is provided “as
is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) and the Loan Parties do not warrant the adequacy of such Electronic Systems and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of
any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent
Party or any Loan Party in connection with the Communications or any Electronic System. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) or the Loan Parties have any liability to
any Loan Party, any Lender, Administrative Agent or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or
otherwise) arising out of any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through an Electronic System, except to the extent that such damages, losses or expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other
material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Credit Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this
Section, including through an Electronic System. 
 SECTION 11.02. Waivers; Amendments.  

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any LC Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or
power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the LC Banks and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent
to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose
for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Extension of Credit shall be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any LC Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of
such Default at the time. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an
agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower, each Guarantor and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower, each Guarantor and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement
shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or any Unreimbursed LC Disbursement or 

  
 89 

 
reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of
payment of the principal amount of any Loan, any Unreimbursed LC Disbursement or any interest thereon, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of
expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of
each Lender, (v) release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, or release all or substantially all of the Collateral except as expressly provided herein without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) waive any of the conditions
precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement set forth in Section 3.01 or any of the conditions precedent to the Effective Date set forth in Section 3.02, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) issue any Letter
of Credit with an expiry date, or extend the expiry date of any Letter of Credit to a date, that is later than the Termination Date without the written consent of each Lender, or (viii) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition
of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written
consent of each Lender; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or any LC Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent
or such LC Bank, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 11.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 

 (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates,
including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the initial syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any
amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the LC Banks, including the reasonable fees,
charges and disbursements of counsel for each LC Bank, in connection with the execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of any Letters of Credit to be issued by it hereunder, and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Administrative Agent, any LC Bank or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any LC Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its
rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made and Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including in connection with any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect
thereof. 
 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, each Co-Documentation Agent, each LC Bank and
each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, penalties, damages, liabilities
and related reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or
delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or 

  
 90 

 
instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transaction contemplated
hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property now, in the past or hereafter owned or operated by the Borrower, any
Guarantor or any of their respective other Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective other Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries, and regardless of whether
any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. This Section 11.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages,
etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. 
 (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the
Administrative Agent or any LC Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or such LC Bank such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent or such LC Bank in its capacity as such. 
 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) the Borrower shall not
assert, and does hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the
Internet), and (ii) without limiting the rights of indemnification of any Indemnitee set forth in this Agreement with respect to liabilities asserted by third parties, each party hereto shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against each
other party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby, the Transactions or any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be
payable not later than 20 days after written demand therefor. 
 SECTION 11.04. Successors and Assigns.
 
 (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby; provided that, (i) except to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 6.01(b)(ii) and (iii), no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without
the prior written consent of each Lender and each LC Bank (and any attempted assignment or transfer by a Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer

  
 91 

 
its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties
hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more
Persons (other than an Ineligible Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: 
 (A) the Borrower (provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have
consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof); provided, further, that no consent of the Borrower shall be
required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; 

(B) the Administrative Agent; and 

(C) each LC Bank. 

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such
assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing; 
 (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of such
Lender’s Loans; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, such fee to be paid by either the assigning Lender or the assignee Lender or shared between such Lenders; 

  
 92 

 (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its affiliates and
their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws; 

(E) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, no assignment shall be made to a prospective assignee that
bears a relationship to the Borrower described in Section 108(e)(4) of the Code; and 
 (F) no assignment shall be made
to any Affiliate of any Loan Party. 
 For the purposes of this Section 11.04(b), the terms “Approved Fund” and
“Ineligible Institution” have the following meanings: 
 “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a
natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a
Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. 
 “Ineligible
Institution” means (a) a natural person, (b) a Defaulting Lender, (c) the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates, or (d) a company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary
benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof. 
 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) of this
Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of
a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 11.03). Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in
accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the
Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount
(and stated interest) of the Loans and other Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to 

  
 93 

 
time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the LC Banks and the Lenders
may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. 

(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s
completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by
paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been
recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 
 (e) Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Borrower, any LC Bank
or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible Institution, in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to
the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, each Guarantor and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso
to Section 11.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and
limitations therein (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(e) and (f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.19 as through it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section. Each Lender that sells a
participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s
interest in the obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the
identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in the obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such interest is in registered form under
Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the
owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a
Participant Register. 

  
 94 

 (f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.l5 or
2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the
Participant acquired the applicable participation. 
 (g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any
portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation, to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest;
provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

SECTION 11.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower and each Guarantor
herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 10.01(c)(iii) and 11.03 and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

SECTION 11.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the commitment letter relating to the
credit facility provided hereby (to the extent provided therein) and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and
supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Sections 3.01 and 3.02, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this
Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof
or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures
and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

  
 95 

 SECTION 11.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

SECTION 11.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each LC Bank
or any Affiliate thereof is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other
indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any of and all the Obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or such LC Bank, irrespective of whether or
not such Lender or such LC Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such Obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender and each LC Bank under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including
other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. 
 SECTION 11.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of
Process. 
 (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. 

(b) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may
be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any LC Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (c) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court
referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 11.01.
Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 

  
 96 

 SECTION 11.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT
OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 

SECTION 11.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of
reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

SECTION 11.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of
the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (including any
self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement,
(e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as
those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any
swap or derivative transaction or any credit insurance provider, in each case, relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available
other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any LC Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party. For the
purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party relating to a Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or its respective businesses, other than
any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any LC Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party; provided that, in the case of information
received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party after the Effective Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the 

  
 97 

 
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market
data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Syndication Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments. 
 EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN THE IMMEDIATELY
PRECEDING PARAGRAPH FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES
REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS. 

ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE

 Annex A 

PRICING GRID 
 The
“Applicable Rate” for any day with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, ABR Loan, Facility Fee or LC Risk Participation Fee, as the case may be, is the percentage set forth below in the applicable row under the column corresponding to the
Status that exists on such day: 
  

																					
	 Status
	  	Level I	 	  	Level II	 	  	Level III	 	  	Level IV	 	  	Level V	 
	 Eurodollar Revolving Loans (basis points)
	  	 	100	  	  	 	107.5	  	  	 	127.5	  	  	 	147.5	  	  	 	165	  
	 ABR Loans (basis points)
	  	 	0	  	  	 	7.5	  	  	 	27.5	  	  	 	47.5	  	  	 	65	  
	 Facility Fee (basis points)
	  	 	12.5	  	  	 	17.5	  	  	 	22.5	  	  	 	27.5	  	  	 	35	  
	 LC Risk Participation Fee (basis points)
	  	 	100	  	  	 	107.5	  	  	 	127.5	  	  	 	147.5	  	  	 	165	  

 For purposes of this Pricing Grid, the following terms have the following meanings (as modified by the
provisos below): 
 “Level I Status” exists at any date if, at such date, the Index Debt is rated either BBB+ or
higher by S&P or Baa1 or higher by Moody’s. 
 “Level II Status” exists at any date if, at such date, the
Index Debt is rated either BBB by S&P or Baa2 by Moody’s. 
 “Level III Status” exists at any date if, at
such date, the Index Debt is rated either BBB- by S&P or Baa3 by Moody’s. 
 “Level IV Status” exists at
any date if, at such date, the Index Debt is rated either BB+ by S&P or Ba1 by Moody’s. 
 “Level V Status”
exists at any date if, at such date, the Index Debt is rated either BB or lower or by S&P or Ba2 or lower by Moody’s or no other Status exists. 

“Status” refers to the determination of which of Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status, Level IV Status or
Level V Status exists at any date. 
 The credit ratings to be utilized for purposes of this Pricing Grid are those assigned to the Index Debt, and any
rating assigned to any other debt security of the Borrower shall be disregarded. The rating in effect at any date is that in effect at the close of business on such date. 

Provided, that the applicable Status shall change as and when the applicable Index Debt ratings change. 

Provided further, that if the Index Debt is split-rated, the applicable Status shall be determined on the basis of the higher of the two ratings then
applicable; provided further, that, if the Index Debt is split-rated by two or more levels, the applicable Status shall instead be determined on the basis of the rating that is one level above the lower of the two ratings then applicable.

  
 Annex A-1 

 Provided further, that if both Moody’s and S&P, or their successors as applicable, shall have ceased to
issue or maintain such ratings, then the applicable Status shall be Level V.

 Each

 The documents listed in clause (i) and (ii) above are referred to herein as the
“Opinion Documents”. The Opinion Documents and the Organizational Documents are referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents”. Additionally, in rendering the opinions set forth below, we have reviewed such other
records, certificates, consents, resolutions and documents as we have deemed appropriate for the purposes of such opinions. As to any facts material to our opinion, we have made no independent investigation of such facts and have relied, to the
extent that we deem such reliance proper, upon statements of public officials and officers or other representatives of the Opinion Parties and on the representations and warranties relating to factual matters set forth in the Transaction Documents.

 In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures,
the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, which assumptions we have not independently verified. In addition, with your permission
and without independent investigation, we have made the following assumptions: 
 (i) Each party to the Transaction Documents
other than the Opinion Parties (each such party, a “Transaction Party”) is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization; 
 (ii) Each Transaction Party has full power and authority (corporate, partnership,
limited liability company or otherwise) to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party; 

(iii) Each Transaction Document has been duly executed and delivered by each Transaction Party that is a party thereto; 

(iv) The execution, delivery and performance by each Transaction Party of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have
been duly authorized by all necessary entity action (corporate, partnership, limited liability company or otherwise) and do not contravene the constituent documents of such Transaction Party; 

(v) The execution, delivery and performance by each Transaction Party and each Opinion Party of the Transaction Documents to
which it is a party do not conflict with or result in the breach of any document or instrument binding on it (except that we have not made such assumption with respect to the Applicable Contracts or the Organizational Documents, to the extent of our
opinion in paragraph 5 below); 
 (vi) The execution, delivery and performance by each Transaction Party and each Opinion
Party of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not contravene any provision of any law, rule, regulation, order, validation, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award applicable to any of them (except that we have not
made such assumption with respect to Applicable Laws (as defined in paragraph 5 below) applicable to each Opinion Party, to the extent of our opinion in paragraph 5 below); 

					
		  		  	December 5, 2014
		  		  	Page 3
	

	  		  	

  

 (vii) No authorization, approval, consent, order, validation, license,
franchise, permit or other action by, and no notice to or filing, recording or registration with, any Governmental Authority or any other third party is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by each Transaction Party and each
Opinion Party of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party that has not been duly obtained or made and that is not in full force and effect (except that we have not made such assumption with respect to Governmental Approvals (as defined in
paragraph 6 below) required to be obtained or taken by any Opinion Party to the extent of our opinion in paragraph 6 below); 

(viii) The Transaction Documents constitute the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of each party thereto (other than
each Opinion Party); and 
 (ix) The laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws that are the subject of this opinion letter
do not affect the terms of the Transaction Documents or the opinions rendered herein. 
 Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the
assumptions, qualifications, exceptions and limitations set forth herein, it is our opinion that: 
  

	 	1.	Each of the Borrower and CEG is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. OpCo is a limited partnership validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Delaware. OpCo GP is a limited liability company validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. 

  

	 	2.	Each Opinion Party has the corporate, limited liability company or limited partnership power and authority, as applicable, to execute and deliver each Opinion Document to which it is a party and to perform its
obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by each Opinion Party of each Opinion Document to which it is a party and the performance by each Opinion Party of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate,
limited liability company or limited partnership action, as applicable, on the part of such Opinion Party. 

  

	 	3.	Each Opinion Document to which each Opinion Party is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Opinion Party. 

  

	 	4.	Each Opinion Document to which each Opinion Party is a party constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such Opinion Party enforceable against such Opinion Party in accordance with its terms under the laws of the
State of New York. 

  

	 	5.	 The execution and delivery by each Opinion Party of each Opinion Document to which it is a party do not, and the performance by each Opinion Party of
its obligations thereunder will not: (a) violate such Opinion Party’s Organizational Documents; (b) result in any violation by the Opinion Party of any Applicable Law (as defined below); (c) breach or result in a default under

 In rendering the foregoing opinions, we have also assumed, with your permission, and without
independent investigation on our part, the following: 
 The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications and
exceptions: 
 (a) The opinions in paragraphs 1 through 3 above are limited in all respects to the “General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware” (as published in the Corporation Service Company compilation entitled Laws Governing Business Entities Annotated Statutes and Rules (Fall 2014 Edition)), the “Limited Liability Company Act of the State of Delaware
(as published in the Corporation Service Company compilation entitled Laws Governing Business Entities Annotated Statutes and Rules (Fall 2014 Edition)) and the “Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act” (as published in the
Corporation Service Company compilation entitled Laws Governing Business Entities Annotated Statutes and Rules (Fall 2014 Edition). Our opinions contained herein to the extent they relate to matters of Delaware corporate law, Delaware limited
liability company law or Delaware limited partnership law are based on our review of such statute. We have not reviewed any other laws of the State of Delaware, including, without limitation, any interpretations of such statute, or retained or
relied on any opinion or advice of Delaware counsel. The opinions in paragraph 1 above to the extent they relate to the existence and good standing of each Opinion Party in the State of Delaware are based solely on the Good Standing Certificate of
such Opinion Party, dated December 1, 2014, issued by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. 
 (b) The enforceability of
each Opinion Document and the provisions thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally and by general principles of equity (including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing), regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

(c) With respect to our opinions set forth in paragraphs 4 and 5(b) above, we express no opinion with respect to the validity, legally binding
effect or enforceability of the following to the extent that they are contained in the Opinion Documents: (i) provisions purporting to release, exculpate, hold harmless, or exempt any person or entity from, or to require indemnification or
contribution of or by any person or entity for, liability for any matter to the extent that the same are inconsistent with applicable law (including case law) or with public policy; (ii) provisions purporting to waive, subordinate or not give
effect to rights to notice, demands, legal defenses or other rights or benefits that cannot be waived, subordinated or rendered ineffective under applicable law; (iii) provisions purporting to provide remedies inconsistent with applicable law;
(iv) provisions relating to the creation, attachment, perfection or enforceability of any security interest; (v) provisions relating to powers of attorney, severability or set-offs; (vi) provisions stating that a guarantee will not be
affected by a modification of the obligation guaranteed in cases in which that modification materially changes the nature or amount of such obligation; (vii) provisions that limit the obligation of a guarantor, co-borrower or co-obligor (or
provide for any 

					
		  		  	December 5, 2014
		  		  	Page 6
	

	  		  	

  

 
rights of contribution as against another guarantor, co-borrower or co-obligor or any other party) based upon the potential unenforceability, invalidity, or voidability of a guarantee or joint
obligation under any applicable law, including, without limitation, any state or federal fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance laws; (viii) provisions restricting access to courts or purporting to affect the jurisdiction or venue of
courts (other than the state courts of the State of New York); (ix) provisions setting out methods for service of process; (x) provisions purporting to exclude all conflicts-of-law rules; (xi) provisions pursuant to which a party
agrees that a judgment rendered by a court or other tribunal in one jurisdiction may be enforced in any other jurisdiction; (xii) provisions providing that decisions by a party are conclusive or may be made in its sole discretion. Our opinions
are based solely on our reading of the Opinion Documents. We note that enforceability of the Opinion Documents may be affected by the parties course of dealing, or by waivers, modifications or amendments (whether made in writing, orally, or by
course of conduct), and we express no opinion on the effect of the foregoing on the enforceability of the Opinion Documents. 
 (d) Insofar
as our opinion set forth in paragraph 4 above relates to the enforceability under New York law of the provisions of the Opinion Documents choosing New York law as the governing law thereof, such opinion is rendered in reliance upon the Act of
July 19, 1984, ch. 421, 1984 McKinney’s Sess. Law of N.Y. 1406 (codified at N.Y. Gen. Oblig. Law §§5-1401 (McKinney 1989)) (the “Act”) and is subject to the qualifications that such enforceability (i) as
specified in the Act, does not apply to the extent provided to the contrary in subsection two of Section 1-105 of the NY UCC, (ii) may be limited by public policy considerations of any jurisdiction in which enforcement of such provisions
is sought, and (iii) is subject to any U.S. Constitutional requirement under the Full Faith and Credit Clause or the Due Process Clause thereof or the exercise of any applicable judicial discretion in favor of another jurisdiction. 

(e) In rendering the opinion expressed in paragraph 5(c) above: (i) we have not reviewed, and express no opinion with respect to,
documents other than the Applicable Contracts, irrespective of whether they secure, support or otherwise relate to or are referred to in the Applicable Contracts or might under certain circumstances result in an event of default or require early
payment under the Applicable Contracts; (ii) we have made no examination of, and express no opinion with respect to any financial, accounting or similar covenant or provision contained in the Applicable Contracts to the extent that any such
covenant or provision would require any determination or computation as to any financial or accounting matters; (iii) we express no opinion as to, or as to the effect of, any provision in the Applicable Contracts prohibiting, limiting or
restricting the assignment thereof or the grant of a security interest therein or lien thereon, or the enforcement of such a security interest or lien, to the extent such provision is not rendered ineffective under Sections 9-406 through 9-409;
(iv) we express no opinion as to any breach of any confidentiality provision contained in the Applicable Contracts caused by any Opinion Document or any Opinion Party’s actions pursuant thereto or in contemplation thereof; and (v) our
opinion in paragraph 5(c) is limited to the laws of the State of New York. In every case, we have assumed that a court would enforce the Applicable Contracts as written and we have limited our opinion to matters readily ascertainable from the face
of the Applicable Contracts. 
 (f) We express no opinion herein regarding the enforceability of any provision in an Opinion Document that
purports to prohibit, restrict or condition the assignment of any Opinion Party’s rights or obligations under such Opinion Document to the extent that such restriction on assignability is rendered ineffective by Sections 9-406 through 9-409 of
the NY UCC.

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing and the aggregate amount of each Type of
Borrowing (if applicable); and 
 (iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be
applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 
 If no election as to the
Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest
Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made
as part of the requested Borrowing. 
 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be
entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Eurodollar Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Termination Date. 
 SECTION 2.03. [Reserved].  
 SECTION 2.04. Letters of
Credit. 
 (a) LC Banks. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may from time to time request
any LC Bank to issue, extend or amend one or more Letters of Credit hereunder. Any such request by the Borrower shall be notified to the Administrative Agent at least five Business Days prior to the date upon which the Borrower proposes that the
applicable LC Bank issue, extend or amend such Letter of Credit and in the case of an extension request, shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit D (or such other form as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and the applicable LC Bank)
accompanied by the letter of credit application form of the LC Bank appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower including agreed-upon draft language for such Letter of Credit reasonably acceptable to the applicable LC

Credit issued by any LC Bank exceed at any time such LC Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment. No LC Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: 

  
 32 

 (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or
arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such LC Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such LC Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority
with jurisdiction over such LC Bank shall prohibit, or request that such LC Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such LC Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit
any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such LC Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such LC Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on
the Closing Date and which such LC Bank in good faith deems material to it; 
 (B) the issuance of such Letter of
Credit would violate one or more policies of such LC Bank applicable to letters of credit generally; 
 (C)
except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such LC Bank, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $10,000; 
 (D) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; and 
 (E) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder. 
 No LC Bank shall be under any obligation to amend or extend any Letter of Credit if (A) such Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under
the terms hereof or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment thereto. 
 (b)
Letters of Credit. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued (or the stated maturity thereof extended or terms thereof modified or amended) on not less than five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent (which
shall promptly distribute copies thereof to the Lenders) and the applicable LC Bank. Each such notice (a “Request for Issuance”) shall specify (i) the date (which shall be a Business Day) of issuance of such Letter of
Credit (or the date of effectiveness of such extension, modification or amendment) and the stated expiry date thereof (which shall be not later than the Termination Date), (ii) the proposed stated amount of such Letter of Credit and
(iii) such other information as shall demonstrate compliance of such Letter of Credit with the requirements specified therefor in this Agreement. Each Request for Issuance shall be irrevocable unless modified or rescinded by the Borrower not
less than two days prior to the proposed date of issuance (or effectiveness) specified therein. If the applicable LC Bank shall have approved the form of such Letter of Credit (or such extension, modification or amendment thereof), such LC Bank
shall not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the proposed date specified in such Request for Issuance, and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions precedent and the other requirements set forth herein and as otherwise agreed to

  
 33 

 
between such LC Bank and the Borrower, issue (or extend, amend or modify) such Letter of Credit and provide notice and a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall
furnish (x) to each Lender, a copy of such notice and (y) to each Lender that may so request, a copy of such Letter of Credit. 
 (c) Reimbursement on Demand. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.04(d) hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay (whether with the proceeds of Loans made pursuant to this Agreement or
otherwise) to the applicable LC Bank on demand (i) on and after each date on which such LC Bank shall pay any amount under any Letter of Credit issued by such LC Bank a sum equal to such amount so paid (which sum shall constitute a demand loan
from such LC Bank to the Borrower from the date of such payment by such LC Bank until so paid by the Borrower), plus (ii) interest on any amount remaining unpaid by the Borrower to such LC Bank under clause (i), above, from the date such sum
becomes payable on demand until payment in full, at a rate per annum which is equal to 2% plus the then applicable Alternate Base Rate until paid in full. 
 (d) Loans for Unreimbursed LC Disbursements. If any LC Bank shall make any payment under any Letter of Credit and if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.03 of this Agreement have
been satisfied as of the date of such honor, then, each Lender’s payment made to such LC Bank pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.04 in respect of such Unreimbursed LC Disbursement shall be deemed to constitute an ABR Loan
made for the account of the Borrower by such Lender. Each such ABR Loan shall mature and be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the first March 31, June 30, September 30 or December 31 to occur following the date
such ABR Loan is made and (ii) the Termination Date. 
 (e) Participation; Reimbursement of the LC Banks.

 (i) Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit by any LC Bank, such LC Bank hereby sells and transfers to each
Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such LC Bank, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage in and to such Letter of Credit, including the obligations of such LC Bank under and in
respect thereof and the Borrower’s reimbursement and other obligations in respect thereof, whether now existing or hereafter arising. 
 (ii) If any LC Bank shall not have been reimbursed in full for any payment made by such LC Bank under any Letter of Credit issued by such LC Bank on the date of such payment, such LC Bank shall promptly
notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such non-reimbursement and the amount thereof. Upon receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of such LC Bank an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Unreimbursed LC Disbursement, plus interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from the date of such
payment by such LC Bank to the date of payment to such LC Bank by such Lender. All such payments by each Lender shall be made in United States dollars and in same day funds not later than 3:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the later to occur of
(A) the Business Day immediately following the date of such payment by the applicable LC Bank and (B) the Business Day on which such Lender shall have received 

  
 34 

 
notice of such non-reimbursement; provided, however, that if such notice is received by such Lender later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day, such payment shall be
payable on the next Business Day. Each Lender agrees that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. If a Lender shall have paid to the applicable LC Bank its ratable portion of any
Unreimbursed LC Disbursement, together with all interest thereon required by the second sentence of this subparagraph (ii), such Lender shall be entitled to receive its ratable share of all interest paid by the Borrower in respect of such
Unreimbursed LC Disbursement. If such Lender shall have made such payment to the applicable LC Bank, but without all such interest thereon required by the second sentence of this subparagraph (ii), such Lender shall be entitled to receive its
ratable share of the interest paid by the Borrower in respect of such Unreimbursed LC Disbursement only from the date it shall have paid all interest required by the second sentence of this subparagraph (ii). 

(iii) The failure of any Lender to make any payment to the applicable LC Bank in accordance with subparagraph
(ii) above, shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make payment, but neither such LC Bank nor any Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make such payment. If any Lender shall fail to make any
payment to the applicable LC Bank in accordance with subparagraph (ii) above, then such Lender shall pay to such LC Bank forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day until the date such amount is
repaid to such LC Bank at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall in any way limit, waive or otherwise reduce any claims that any party hereto may have against any non-performing Lender.

 (f) Obligations Absolute. The payment obligations of each Lender under Section 2.04(e) and of the Borrower under
Section 2.04(c) of this Agreement in respect of any payment under any Letter of Credit and any Loan made under Section 2.04(d) shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: 
 (i) any lack of
validity or enforceability of any Credit Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto or to such Letter of Credit; 
 (ii) any amendment or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, all or any of the Credit Documents; 
 (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary, or any transferee, of such Letter
of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any LC Bank, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or by such Letter of Credit, or any
unrelated transaction; 
 (iv) any statement or any other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving
to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 

  
 35 

 (v) payment in good faith by the applicable LC Bank under the Letter of
Credit issued by such LC Bank against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or 
 (vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 
 (g) Liability of LC Banks and the Lenders. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit. Neither the LC Banks, the Lenders nor
any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or Affiliates shall be liable or responsible for (i) the use that may be made of such Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee thereof in
connection therewith; (ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (iii) payment by
any LC Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit; or (iv) any other circumstances
whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under such Letter of Credit, except that the Borrower or any Lender shall have the right to bring suit against the applicable LC Bank, and such LC Bank shall be liable to the Borrower and any
Lender, to the extent of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower or such Lender which were caused by such LC Bank’s wilful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final and non-appealable judgment, including such LC Bank’s wilful or grossly negligent failure to make timely payment under such Letter of Credit following the presentation to it by the beneficiary thereof of a draft and accompanying
certificate(s) which strictly comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the applicable LC Bank may accept sight drafts and accompanying certificates presented under the
Letter of Credit issued by such LC Bank that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be obligated
to indemnify the Borrower for damages caused by any LC Bank’s wilful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment, and the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the
Lenders hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, notwithstanding the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of any LC Bank. 

(h) RESERVED.  
 (i) LC Bank Agreements. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each LC Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) promptly following the end of each
calendar month, the aggregate amount of Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding at the end of such month, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such LC Bank expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date
of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred
(and whether the amount thereof changed), it being understood that such LC Bank shall not permit any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Letter of Credit to occur without first obtaining

  
 36 

 
written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that it is then permitted under this Agreement, (iii) on each Business Day on which such LC Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date of
such LC Disbursement and the amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such LC Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of
such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. 
 SECTION 2.05. Funding of Borrowings. 
 (a) Each Lender shall make
each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent designated by it for such purpose by notice to the
Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account established and maintained by the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s office in New
York City. 
 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any
Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with
paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made
available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans.
If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.06. Interest Elections. 
 (a) Each Borrowing initially
shall be of the Type or Types specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such
Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions
of such Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising the affected Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. 

  
 37 

 (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.02 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date
of such election; provided, however, with regard to any election pursuant to this Section 2.06 related to a Eurodollar Borrowing, notice of election shall be delivered not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days
prior to the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in
substantially the form of Exhibit F (or such other form as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent) and signed by the Borrower. 
 (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect
to different portions of such Borrowing, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Type of Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting
Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which
shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar
Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable
thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Type of Borrowing. 
 (e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is
repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent,
at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each
Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

  
 38 

 SECTION 2.07. Mandatory Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

 Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Termination Date. 

SECTION 2.08. Mandatory Prepayments. 
 (a) If at any time the Total Outstanding Principal exceeds the Aggregate Commitments then in effect for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, as a result of any reduction in the Aggregate
Commitments pursuant to Section 2.09), the Borrower shall prepay Loans or cash collateralize LC Exposure in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to the final paragraph of Section 8.01, as applicable, in such aggregate amount
(together with accrued interest thereon to the extent required by Section 2.13) as shall be necessary so that, after giving effect to such prepayment, the Total Outstanding Principal does not exceed the Aggregate Commitments. 

(b) Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be accompanied by the Borrower’s payment of any amounts payable
under Section 2.16 in connection with such prepayment. Prepayments of Revolving Loans shall be applied ratably to the Loans so prepaid. 
 SECTION 2.09. Optional Reduction or Termination of Commitments. 
 (a)
The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments (including the unused Letter of Credit Commitments of the LC Banks); provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is
an integral multiple of $10,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the Total Outstanding Principal
would exceed the Aggregate Commitments thereafter in effect. 
 (b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of
any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under Section 2.09(a) at least five Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following
receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments
delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified
effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent.  

(c) Each reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their
respective Commitments immediately preceding such reduction. 
 SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of
Debt. 
 (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent (i) for the account of
each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Termination Date and (ii) for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each ABR Loan deemed to be made pursuant to Section 2.04(d) on the
maturity date therefor as determined pursuant to Section 2.04(d). 

  
 39 

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

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

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and
deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in substantially the form of Exhibit F. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after
assignment pursuant to Section 11.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein and its registered assigns. 
 SECTION 2.11. Optional Prepayment of Loans. 
 (a) The Borrower
shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section. 

(b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in
the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New
York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a
notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with
Section 2.09. Each such telephonic notice of prepayment shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a prepayment notice in substantially the form of Exhibit H (or such other form as shall be approved
by the Administrative Agent) and signed by the Borrower. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing,  

  
 40 

 
the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an
advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, it being understood that the foregoing minimum shall not apply to the prepayment in whole of the outstanding Revolving Loans of all Lenders. Each prepayment of a
Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Revolving Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13 and by any amounts payable under
Section 2.16 in connection with such prepayment. 
 SECTION 2.12. Fees. 

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee (each a
“Facility Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender (whether used or unused) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on
which such Commitment terminates; provided that, if such Lender continues to have any Revolving Credit Exposure after its Commitment terminates, then such Facility Fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount

each Lender a ticking fee (each a “Ticking Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate for Facility Fees (calculated at Level III Status) on the daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and
including the date that is ninety (90) days after the Closing Date to but excluding the earlier of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) the date on which such Commitment terminates. The accrued Ticking Fee shall be payable in arrears on
the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the earlier of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) the date on which such Commitment terminates, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date that is ninety

account and for the account of the other Persons entitled thereto, the fees provided for in the applicable fee letter dated November 7, 2014, executed and delivered with respect to the credit facility provided for herein, in each case, in the
amounts and at the times set forth therein and in immediately available funds. 
 (e) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid in
immediately available funds. Fees due and paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 
 SECTION 2.13.
Interest. 
 (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to
the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon
acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as

 42 

 (e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that
interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the
actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a
Eurodollar Borrowing: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or 

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 then the
Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving
rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any
Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 
 SECTION
2.15. Increased Costs. If any Change in Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve,
special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar assessment or requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any LC Bank (except any such reserve requirement
described in paragraph (e) of this Section); 
 (ii) impose on any Lender or any LC Bank or the London
interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or participation therein or Unreimbursed LC Disbursements or Letters of Credit and participations therein; or 

(iii) subject the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes
described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, Letter of Credit Commitment or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or
capital attributable thereto; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent, such Lender
or such LC Bank of making, continuing, converting to or maintaining any Loan or Unreimbursed LC Disbursement or issuing or maintaining Letters of Credit and participation interests therein (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or
issue or participate in 

  
 43 

 
such Letter of Credit) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such LC Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise),
then the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such LC Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such LC Bank for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender or any LC Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity
requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such LC Bank’s capital or on the capital of its holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement to a level below that which such
Lender or such LC Bank or its holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration its policies and the policies of its holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the
Borrower will pay to such Lender or such LC Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

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

(e) The Borrower shall pay (without duplication as to amounts paid under this Section 2.15) to each Lender, so long as such Lender
shall be required under regulations of the Board to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan of such
Lender, from the date of such Loan until such principal amount is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period for such Loan from (ii) the
rate obtained by dividing such LIBO Rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage of such Lender for such Interest Period, payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan. Such additional interest
determined by such Lender and notified to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, accompanied by the calculation of the amount thereof, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. 

  
 44 

 (f) If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental
Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed
material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of
such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans or to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer
exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans, either on the last day of the
Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion,
the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. 
 SECTION 2.16. Break Funding
Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any
Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Revolving Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether
such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.11(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a
request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the loss to any Lender
attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of
such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest
Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, over (y) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on
such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for dollar deposit from other banks in the eurodollar
market at the commencement of such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 

  
 45 

 SECTION 2.17. Taxes. 

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a
Withholding Agent, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law,
and (ii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the amount payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions and withholdings of Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. 
 (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Recipient and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or any LC Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or any LC Bank, shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental
Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such
payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) 

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under
any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such
other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or
information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(e)(ii)(A) and
(ii)(B) and Section 2.17(f) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice
the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

  
 46 

 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on
which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S.
federal backup withholding tax; 
 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon
the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party
(x) with respect to payments of interest under any Credit Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the
“interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Credit Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal
withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 
 (2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; 
 (3) in the case of a
Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank”
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable); or 

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS
Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that
if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; and 

  
 47 

 (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon
the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with
such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 

Each Lender agrees that if any documentation, form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in
any respect, it shall update such documentation, form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 
 (f) If a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting
requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to
determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

(g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has
been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.17(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other
charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17(g), in no event will
the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.17(g) the 

  
 48 

 
payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise
to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make
available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 
 (h) For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. 
 SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-Offs. 
 (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or under Section 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 or 11.03, or otherwise) prior to
12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been
received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its office listed in Section 11.01(b), except that payments pursuant to
Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 11.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly
following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon
shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars. 
 (b) If at any time
insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder,
ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the
amounts of principal then due to such parties. 
 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Obligations owing to it resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of such Obligations and accrued
interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans of, or other Obligations owing to, other Lenders to
the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans or other Obligations, as
applicable; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such
recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this 

  
 49 

 
Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to any Guarantor,
the Borrower or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower or any Guarantor (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower and each Guarantor consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do
so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower and each Guarantor rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower or such Guarantor in the amount of such participation. 
 (d) Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative
Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then
each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding
the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. 
 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any
payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(e), 2.05(b) or 2.18(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 (f) None of the funds or assets of the Borrower that are used to pay any amount due pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute funds obtained from transactions with or relating to Anti-Corruption Laws or
Sanctions. 
 SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.  

(a) Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation from the Borrower under either of Sections 2.15 and 2.17 for any losses, costs
or other liabilities shall use reasonable efforts (including, without limitation, reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office of such Lender for funding or booking its Loans or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another
of its offices, branches or affiliates) to mitigate the amount of such losses, costs and other liabilities, if such efforts can be made and such mitigation can be accomplished without such Lender suffering (i) any economic disadvantage for
which such Lender does not receive full indemnity from the Borrower under this Agreement or (ii) otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. 
 (b) In determining the amount of any claim for reimbursement or compensation under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, each Lender will use reasonable methods of calculation consistent with such methods
customarily employed by such Lender in similar situations. 

  
 50 

 (c) Each Lender will notify the Borrower either directly or through the Administrative Agent
of any event giving rise to a claim under Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 promptly after the occurrence thereof which notice shall be accompanied by a certificate of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances of such
claim. 
 (d) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional
amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.04, provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to
waive the $3,500 processing and recordation fee in connection therewith), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts
such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each LC Bank, which consent, in the case of the Administrative Agent, shall not unreasonably be withheld and, in the
case of each LC Bank, may be given or withheld in the sole discretion of such LC Bank, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all
other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from
a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment
and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 

SECTION 2.20. Defaulting Lenders.  

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions
shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a) fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a); 
 (b) the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender
shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 11.02); provided, that this clause
(b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby; 

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

  
 51 

 (i) so long as no Default shall be continuing, all or any part of the LC
Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus
such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and to the extent the sum of each non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed such
non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment; 
 (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot,
or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the applicable LC Bank only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to
such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in the last paragraph of Section 8.01 for so long as such LC Exposure is
outstanding; 
 (iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC
Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) or the applicable LC Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b)(x) (solely with respect to any
fronting fee), in each case with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized; 

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees
payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; 
 (v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights
or remedies of any LC Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all Facility Fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC
Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the applicable LC Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash
collateralized; and 
 (vi) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no LC Bank shall be required to issue,
amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is reasonably satisfied that (i) the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or
cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and (ii) participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner
consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). 

  
 52 

 If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Parent of any Lender shall occur following
the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any LC Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend
credit, no LC Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the applicable LC Bank, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the applicable LC Bank to defease any risk
to it in respect of such Lender hereunder. 
 In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the LC Banks each
agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date
such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 

SECTION 2.21. Extension of Termination Date. 

(a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time not more than sixty (60) days and not less than thirty
(30) days prior to any anniversary of the Effective Date (other than the Termination Date), by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders), request that each Lender extend (each such date on which an extension
occurs, an “Extension Date”) such Lender’s Termination Date to the date that is one year after the Termination Date then in effect for such Lender (the “Existing Termination Date”).

 (b) Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative
Agent given not later than the date that is 10 Business Days after the date on which the Administrative Agent received the Borrower’s extension request (the “Lender Notice Date”), advise the Administrative Agent whether
or not such Lender agrees to such extension (each Lender that determines to so extend its Termination Date, an “Extending Lender”). Each Lender that determines not to so extend its Termination Date (a
“Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Lender Notice Date), and any Lender that does not so advise the Administrative
Agent on or before the Lender Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree, and it is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have
any obligation whatsoever to agree to any request made by the Borrower for extension of the Termination Date. 

(c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of each Lender’s determination under this Section. 

(d) The Borrower shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, on or before the applicable Termination Date for any Non-Extending
Lender to replace such Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more financial institutions that are not Ineligible Institutions (each, an “Additional Commitment
Lender”) approved by the Administrative Agent and the LC Banks in accordance with the procedures provided in Section 2.19(d), each of which Additional Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and
Assumption (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained 

  
 53

Commitment (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s Commitment hereunder on such date). Prior to any Non-Extending Lender being replaced by one or more Additional
Commitment Lenders pursuant hereto, such Non-Extending Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, by giving irrevocable notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (which notice shall set forth such Lender’s new Termination
Date), to become an Extending Lender. The Administrative Agent may effect such amendments to this Agreement as are reasonably necessary to provide solely for any such extensions with the consent of the Borrower but without the consent of any other
Lenders.

the Termination Date of each Extending Lender and of each Additional Commitment Lender shall be extended to the date that is one year after the then Existing Termination Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Termination Date as
so extended shall be the immediately preceding Business Day) and each Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Lender
hereunder and shall have the obligations of a Lender hereunder. For purposes of clarity, it is acknowledged and agreed that the Termination Date on any date of determination shall not be a date more than five (5) years after such date of
determination, whether such determination is made before or after giving effect to any extension request made hereunder. 
 (f)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) no more than two (2) extensions of the Termination Date shall be permitted hereunder and (y) any extension of any Termination Date pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall not be effective with
respect to any Extending Lender unless: 
 (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing on the applicable Extension Date and immediately after giving effect thereto; 
 (ii) the
representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the applicable Extension Date and after giving effect thereto, as though made on and as of such date (or to the extent that such
representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, as of such earlier date); and 
 (iii) the
Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate dated as of the applicable Extension Date from the Borrower signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower (A) certifying the accuracy of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) and
(B) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such extension. 

  
 54 

 (g) On the Termination Date of each Non-Extending Lender, (i) the Commitment of each
Non-Extending Lender shall automatically terminate and (ii) the Borrower shall repay such Non-Extending Lender in accordance with Section 2.09 (and shall pay to such Non-Extending Lender all of the other Obligations owing to it under this
Agreement) and after giving effect thereto shall prepay any Revolving Loans outstanding on such date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.16) to the extent necessary to keep outstanding Revolving Loans ratable with any
revised Applicable Percentages of the respective Lenders effective as of such date, and the Administrative Agent shall administer any necessary reallocation of the Revolving Credit Exposures (without regard to any minimum borrowing, pro rata
borrowing and/or pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement). 
 (h) This Section shall supersede any
provisions in Section 2.18 or Section 11.02 to the contrary.

 ARTICLE VI 
 NEGATIVE COVENANTS 
 SECTION 6.01. Negative Covenants.
From and after the Effective Date and so long as any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder or any principal of any Loan, Unreimbursed LC Disbursement, interest or fees payable hereunder shall remain unpaid or any Letter of Credit shall remain
outstanding, no Loan Party (determined exclusive of NiSource) will and will not allow any Credit Party (determined exclusive of NiSource) to, without the written consent of the Required Lenders: 

(a) Limitation on Liens. Create or suffer to exist, or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to create or
suffer to exist, any lien, security interest, or other charge or encumbrance (collectively, “Liens”) upon or with respect to any of its properties, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or collaterally assign for security
purposes, or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to so assign any right to receive income in each case to secure or provide for or guarantee the payment of Debt for Borrowed Money of any Person, without in any such case effectively securing,
prior to or concurrently with the creation, issuance, assumption or guaranty of any such Debt for Borrowed Money, the Obligations (together with, if any Guarantor shall so determine, any other Debt for Borrowed Money of or guaranteed by the
Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries ranking equally with the Loans and Unreimbursed LC Disbursements and then existing or thereafter created) equally and ratably with (or prior to) such Debt for Borrowed Money;
provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to or prevent the creation or existence of: 
 (i) (A) Liens on any property acquired, constructed or improved by the Credit Parties after the date of this Agreement that are created or assumed prior to, contemporaneously with, or within 180 days
after, such acquisition or completion of such construction or improvement, to secure or provide for the payment of all or any part of the purchase price of such property or the cost of such construction or improvement; or (B) in addition to
Liens contemplated by clauses (ii) and (iii) below, Liens on any property existing at the time of acquisition thereof, provided that the Liens shall not apply to any property theretofore owned by the Credit Parties other than, in the case
of any such construction or improvement, (1) unimproved real property on which the property so constructed or the improvement is located, (2) other property (or improvements thereon) that is an improvement to or is acquired or constructed
for specific use with such acquired or constructed property (or improvement thereof), and (3) any rights and interests (A) under any agreements or other documents relating to, or (B) appurtenant to, the property being so constructed
or improved or such other property; 

  
 66 

 (ii) existing Liens on any property or indebtedness of a corporation
that is merged with or into or consolidated with any Credit Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that such Lien was not created in contemplation of such merger or consolidation; 

(iii) Liens on any property or indebtedness of a corporation existing at the time such corporation becomes a
Restricted Subsidiary of any Credit Party; provided that such Lien was not created in contemplation of such occurrence; 
 (iv) At any time Collateral shall secure the Obligations, subordinated Liens to secure Debt for Borrowed Money of a Restricted Subsidiary of a Credit Party to a Credit Party or to another Restricted
Subsidiary of any Credit Party on terms and conditions acceptable to the Administrative Agent; 
 (v) Liens in
favor of the United States of America, any State, any foreign country or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of any such jurisdiction, to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or

Debt for Borrowed Money of the pollution control or industrial revenue bond type; 
 (vi) Liens existing on the
date of this Agreement; 
 (vii) Liens for the sole purposes of extending, renewing or replacing in whole or in
part Debt for Borrowed Money secured by any Lien referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi), inclusive, or this clause (vii); provided, however, that the principal amount of Debt for Borrowed Money secured thereby shall
not exceed the principal amount of Debt for Borrowed Money so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement (which, for purposes of this limitation as it applies to a synthetic lease, shall be deemed to be (x) the lessor’s
original cost of the property subject to such lease at the time of extension, renewal or replacement, less (y) the aggregate amount of all prior payments under such lease allocated pursuant to the terms of such lease to reduce the
principal amount of the lessor’s investment, and borrowings by the lessor, made to fund the original cost of the property), and that such extension, renewal or replacement shall be limited to all or a part of the property or indebtedness which
secured the Lien so extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such property); 
 (viii) Any Lien, other
than a Lien described in any of the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi), inclusive, to the extent that it secures Debt for Borrowed Money, or guaranties thereof, the outstanding principal balance of which at the time of creation of such Lien,
when added to the aggregate principal balance of all Debt for Borrowed Money secured by Liens incurred under this clause (viii) then outstanding, does not exceed $200,000,000. 

  
 67 

 If at any time any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall create, issue, assume or
guaranty any Debt for Borrowed Money secured by any Lien and the first paragraph of this Section 6.01(a) requires that the Loans be secured equally and ratably with such Debt for Borrowed Money, the Borrower shall promptly deliver to the
Administrative Agent and each Lender: 
 (1) a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Borrower stating
that the covenant contained in the first paragraph of this Section 6.01(a) has been complied with; and 

(2) an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Required Lenders to the effect that such covenant has been complied with and

in one transaction or in a series of transactions) all or substantially all of its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) to any Person, or permit any Restricted Subsidiary of any Credit Party to do so, except that: 

(i) Any Restricted Subsidiary of any Credit Party may merge into the Guarantors (other than NiSource) or transfer
assets to the Guarantors (other than NiSource), provided that in the case of any merger or consolidation of a Restricted Subsidiary of any Credit Party into Guarantors or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of a Restricted
Subsidiary of any Credit Party to the Guarantors, immediately after giving effect thereto, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (determined, for purposes of compliance with Article VII after giving effect to such transaction, on
a Pro Forma Basis as if such transaction had occurred on the last day of such Guarantor’s fiscal quarter then most recently ended); provided further that in the case of any merger or consolidation of OpCo into CPG or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of OpCo to CPG, the Board of Directors of the Borrower have approved of such merger or transfer of assets, as applicable; and  

(ii) any Restricted Subsidiary of any Guarantor may merge or consolidate with or into another Restricted Subsidiary of any
Guarantor, provided that, immediately after giving effect thereto, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (determined, for purposes of compliance with Article VII after giving effect to such transaction, on a pro forma
basis as if such transaction had occurred on the last day of such Guarantor’s fiscal quarter then most recently ended). 

(c) Sales, Etc. of Assets. Sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or permit any Restricted Subsidiary
of any Credit Party to sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of (other than in connection with a transaction authorized by paragraph (b) of this Section) any substantial part of its assets; provided that the foregoing shall not
prohibit (i) the realization on a Lien permitted to exist under Section 6.01(a); (ii) any such sale, conveyance, lease, transfer or other disposition that (A) (1) is for a price not materially less than the fair market value
of such assets, (2) would not materially impair the ability of any Credit Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement and (3) together with all other such sales, conveyances, leases, transfers and

  
 68 

 
other dispositions, would have no Material Adverse Effect, or (B) would not result in the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition, in the aggregate, of (1) more than, in the case of
the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (exclusive of OpCo and its Restricted Subsidiaries), 20% of the CPPL MLP OpCo Percentage of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets in any fiscal year or (2) more than, in the case of the Credit Parties

(B) no Default or Event of Default exists or would be caused thereby; (vi) the sale of inventory in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, (vii) the disposition of obsolete or worn-out equipment in the ordinary course of

Material Adverse Effect or (ii) permit to exist any occurrence of any Reportable Event (as defined in Title IV of ERISA), or any other event or condition, that presents a material (in the reasonable opinion of the Required Lenders) risk of
such a termination by the PBGC of any Plan, if such termination could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(e) Certain Restrictions. Permit any Subsidiary of any Credit Party (other than, in the case of the Borrower, each
Guarantor) to enter into or permit to exist any agreement that by its terms prohibits such Subsidiary from making any payments, directly or indirectly, to such Credit Party by way of dividends, advances, repayment of loans or advances,
reimbursements of management or other intercompany charges, expenses and accruals or other returns on investment, or any other agreement that restricts the ability of such Subsidiary to make any payment, directly or indirectly, to such Credit Party;
provided that the foregoing shall not apply to prohibitions and restrictions (i) imposed by applicable law, (ii) (A) imposed under an agreement in existence on the date of this Agreement, and (B) described on

Subsidiary existing at such time and (ii) a return on any investment by any Credit Party in Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the preceding sentence in an amount equal to the fair market value at the date of such designation of such Credit
Party’s investment in such Subsidiary.

deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Credit Party under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, (1) the Commitment of each Lender and the obligation of each LC Bank to issue or maintain Letters of Credit hereunder shall automatically be
terminated and (2) all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no notice given or declaration made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to

Account pursuant to this Section 8.01, for a term to be agreed to between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. If any drawings under any Letter of Credit then outstanding or thereafter made are not reimbursed in full immediately upon
demand or, in the case of subsequent drawings, upon being made, then, in any such event, the Administrative Agent may apply the amounts then on deposit in the Cash Account, in such priority as the Administrative Agent shall elect, toward the payment
in full of any or all of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder as and when such obligations shall become due and payable. Upon payment in full, after the termination of the Letters of Credit, of all such obligations, the Administrative Agent
will repay to the Borrower any cash then on deposit in the Cash Account. 
 ARTICLE IX 

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 SECTION 9.01. The Administrative Agent. 
 (a) Each of the
Lenders and each LC Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the
terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 
 (b) The Person serving as the
Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the any Loan Party or any of such Loan Party’s Subsidiaries or other Affiliates thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. 

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty
to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders, and
(iii) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective
other Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at
the request of the Required Lenders (or, if applicable, all of the Lenders) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written
notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any 

  
 81 

 
duty to ascertain or inquire into (1) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (2) the contents of any certificate, report or other
document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (3) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (4) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of
this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (5) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent and the conformity thereof to such express requirement. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The
Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal
counsel (who may be counsel for a Loan Party) independent accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

 (e) The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or
more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the
preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided
for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
 (f) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor
Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Loan Parties. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower
(which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), to appoint a successor, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If no successor shall have been so appointed by
the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank, in any event having total assets in excess of $500,000,000 and who shall serve until such time, if any, as an Agent shall have been
appointed as provided above. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative
Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise
agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 

  
 82 

 (g) Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this
Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 (h) No Lender identified on the signature
pages of this Agreement as a “Lead Arranger”, “Co-Documentation Agent” or “Syndication Agent”, or that is given any other title hereunder other than “LC Bank” or “Administrative Agent”, shall have
any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Lender so identified as a “Lead Arranger”,
“Co-Documentation Agent” or “Syndication Agent” or that is given any other title hereunder, shall have, or be deemed to have, any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will
not rely, on the Lenders so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies
hereunder and in the other Credit Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.01 for the benefit of all the Lenders and LC Banks; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the
rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, (ii) the LC Banks from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its
capacity as LC Bank) hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, (iii) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.18(c)) or (iv) any Lender from filing proofs
of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a Bankruptcy Event relative to any Loan Party; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder
and under the other Credit Documents, then (A) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.01 and (B) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii),
(iii) and (iv) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.18(c), any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders. 

 (j) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Extensions of Credit made hereunder are commercial loans and letters of
credit and not investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and 

  
 83 

 
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender shall,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning
the Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or
thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a Lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder. 
 ARTICLE X 
 GUARANTY 

SECTION 10.01. The Guaranty. 
 (a) Each Guarantor, as primary obligor and not merely as a surety, hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and each of their
respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns (each a “Beneficiary” and collectively, the “Beneficiaries”) the prompt and complete payment by the Borrower, as and when due and payable, of
the Obligations, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents. The provisions of this Article X are sometimes referred to hereinafter as the “Guaranty”. 

(b) Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents,
regardless of any law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any such terms or the rights of the Beneficiaries with respect thereto. The obligations and liabilities of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and
unconditional irrespective of: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Obligations or any Credit Document, or any delay, failure or omission to enforce or agreement not to enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court,
by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise of any right with respect to the foregoing (including, in each case, without limitation, as a result of the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Beneficiary, the Borrower or any other
Person); (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term in respect of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from the Credit Documents or any agreement
or instrument relating thereto; (iii) any exchange or release of, or non-perfection of any Lien on or in any collateral, or any release, amendment or waiver of, or consent to any departure from, any other guaranty of, or agreement granting
security for, all or any of the Obligations; (iv) any claim, set-off, counterclaim, defense or other rights that such Guarantor may have at any time and from time to time against any Beneficiary or any other Person, whether in connection with
this Transaction or any unrelated transaction; or (v) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any other guarantor or surety in respect of the Obligations or such
Guarantor in respect hereof. 
 (c) The Guaranty provided for herein (i) is a guaranty of payment and not of collection;
(ii) is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments and Letters of Credit have been terminated and the Obligations have been paid in full in cash; and

  
 84 

 
(iii) shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be
returned by any Beneficiary upon or as a result of the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 

(d) The obligations and liabilities of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by any Beneficiary
or any other Person at any time of any right or remedy against the Borrower or any other Person that may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Obligations or against any collateral security or guaranty therefor or right of setoff
with respect thereto. 
 (e) Each Guarantor hereby consents that, without the necessity of any reservation of rights against such
Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by such Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by any Beneficiary may be rescinded by such Beneficiary and any of the Obligations continued after such rescission.

 (f) Each Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty shall be unconditional, irrespective of any lack of capacity of the
Borrower or any lack of validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, and this Guaranty shall not be affected in any way by any variation, extension, waiver, compromise or release of any or all of
the Obligations or of any security or guaranty from time to time therefor. 
 (g) The obligations of each Guarantor under this
Guaranty shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any proceeding or action, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, marshalling of assets,
assignment for the benefit of creditors, composition with creditors, readjustment, liquidation or arrangement of the Borrower or any similar proceedings or actions, or by any defense the Borrower may have by reason of the order, decree or decision
of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding or action. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts and obligations that constitute the Obligations and would
be owed by the Borrower, but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of any such proceeding or action. 
 SECTION 10.02. Waivers. 
 (a) Each Guarantor hereby
unconditionally waives: (i) promptness and diligence; (ii) notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders upon this Guaranty or acceptance of this Guaranty; (iii) notice of the incurrence of any Obligation
by the Borrower or the renewal, extension or accrual of any Obligation or of any circumstances affecting the Borrower’s financial condition or ability to perform the Obligations; (iv) notice of any actions taken by the Beneficiaries or the
Borrower or any other Person under any Credit Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; (v) all other notices, demands and protests, and all other formalities of every kind in connection with the enforcement of the
Obligations, of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder or under any other Credit Document, the omission of or delay in which, but for the provisions of this Section 10 might constitute grounds for relieving such Guarantor of its
obligations hereunder; (vi) any requirement that the Beneficiaries 

  
 85 

 
protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto, or exhaust any right or take any action against the Borrower or any other Person or any collateral; and
(vii) each other circumstance, other than payment of the Obligations in full, that might otherwise result in a discharge or exoneration of, or constitute a defense to, such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. 

(b) No failure on the part of any Beneficiary to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or
under any Credit Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any Credit Document or any other
agreement or instrument relating thereto preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. This Guaranty is in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights, remedies, powers and
privileges the Beneficiaries may have by virtue of any other instrument or agreement heretofore, contemporaneously herewith or hereafter executed by any Guarantor or any other Person or by applicable law or otherwise. All rights, remedies, powers
and privileges of the Beneficiaries shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Beneficiaries under this Guaranty against each Guarantor are not conditional or contingent on any
attempt by the Beneficiaries to exercise any of their rights, remedies, powers or privileges against any other guarantor or surety or under the Credit Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto against the Borrower or against
any other Person. 
 (c) Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that, until the Commitments have been terminated and all
of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash, under no circumstances shall it be entitled to be subrogated to any rights of any Beneficiary in respect of the Obligations performed by it hereunder or otherwise, and each Guarantor hereby
expressly and irrevocably waives, until the Commitments have been terminated and all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash, (i) each and every such right of subrogation and any claims, reimbursements, right or right of action
relating thereto (howsoever arising), and (ii) each and every right to contribution, indemnification, set-off or reimbursement, whether from the Borrower or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the
Obligations, and whether arising by contract or operation of law or otherwise by reason of each Guarantor’s execution, delivery or performance of this Guaranty. 
 (d) Each Guarantor represents and warrants that it has established adequate means of keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and of other circumstances affecting the
Borrower’s ability to perform the Obligations, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to provide to such Guarantor any information it may have, or hereafter receive, in respect of the Borrower.

 Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered
mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the
opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices delivered through Electronic Systems, to the extent provided in paragraph (e) below, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (e). 

(d) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by using Electronic Systems pursuant to
procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower
may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or
communications. 
 (e) Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an
e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement),
and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website, including an Electronic System, shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause
(i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the
normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient. 
 (f) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party
hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt. 
 (g)
Electronic Systems. 
 (i) The Borrower and each Lender agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not
be obligated to, make Communications (as defined below) available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or a substantially similar Electronic System. 

(ii) Any Electronic System used by the Administrative Agent is provided “as is” and “as available.”
The Agent Parties (as defined below) and the Loan Parties do not warrant the adequacy of such Electronic Systems and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory,
including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party or any Loan Party in connection with
the Communications or any Electronic System. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) or the Loan Parties have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender, Administrative
Agent or any other Person or 

  
 88 

 
entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise)
arising out of any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through an Electronic System, except to the extent that such damages, losses or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by
final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material
provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Credit Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section,
including through an Electronic System. 
 SECTION 11.02. Waivers; Amendments.  

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any LC Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as
a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right
or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the LC Banks and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or
consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Extension of Credit shall be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any LC Bank or any Lender may have had notice or
knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or
modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower, each Guarantor and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower, each Guarantor and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders;
provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or any Unreimbursed LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of
interest thereon, or reduce any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, any Unreimbursed LC
Disbursement or any interest thereon, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each
Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) other than with respect to the
release of NiSource on the NiSource Release Date (which release shall be automatic as of such date), release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty or release all or substantially all of the Collateral except as expressly provided
herein without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) waive any of the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement set forth in Section 3.01 or any of the conditions precedent to the Effective Date set forth in
Section 3.02, in each case, without the  

  
 89 

 
written consent of each Lender, (vii) issue any Letter of Credit with an expiry date, or extend the expiry date of any Letter of Credit to a date, that is later than the Termination Date
without the written consent of each Lender, or (viii) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive,
amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties
of the Administrative Agent or any LC Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or such LC Bank, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 11.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.  
 (a) The
Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the
initial syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the LC Banks, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for each LC Bank, in connection with the execution, delivery,
administration, modification and amendment of any Letters of Credit to be issued by it hereunder, and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any LC Bank or any Lender, including the reasonable fees,
charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any LC Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in
connection with the Loans made and Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including in connection with any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof. 
 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, each Co-Documentation Agent, each LC Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing
Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, penalties, damages, liabilities and related reasonable expenses, including the reasonable
fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transaction contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use
of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property now, in the past or hereafter owned or operated by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective other
Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective other Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of
the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court 

  
 90 

 
of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. This Section 11.03(b) shall not apply with
respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. 
 (c)
To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or any LC Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or
such LC Bank such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss,
claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such LC Bank in its capacity as such. 
 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) the Borrower shall not assert, and does hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee for any damages arising from the use by others of information
or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), and (ii) without limiting the rights of indemnification of any Indemnitee set forth in this Agreement with
respect to liabilities asserted by third parties, each party hereto shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against each other party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct
or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions or any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. 

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 20 days after written demand therefor. 

SECTION 11.04. Successors and Assigns. 
 (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby; provided that, (i) except to
the extent permitted pursuant to Section 6.01(b)(ii) and (iii), no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and each LC Bank (and any attempted
assignment or transfer by a Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b)
(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion
of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: 

  
 91 

 (A) the Borrower (provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have
consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof); provided, further, that no consent of the Borrower shall be
required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; 

(B) the Administrative Agent; and 
 (C) each LC Bank. 
 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the
following additional conditions: 
 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a
Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date
the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of
the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (B) each partial
assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of
all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of such Lender’s Loans; 
 (C) the parties
to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, such fee to be paid by either the assigning Lender or the assignee Lender or shared
between such Lenders; 
 (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its affiliates and their Related Parties
or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws; 

(E) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, no assignment shall be made to a prospective assignee
that bears a relationship to the Borrower described in Section 108(e)(4) of the Code; and 
 (F) no
assignment shall be made to any Affiliate of any Loan Party. 

  
 92 

 For the purposes of this Section 11.04(b), the terms “Approved Fund” and
“Ineligible Institution” have the following meanings: 
 “Approved Fund” means any Person
(other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an
Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. 

“Ineligible Institution” means (a) a natural person, (b) a Defaulting Lender, (c) the Borrower,
any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates, or (d) a company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof. 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 11.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations
under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section.

 (c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain
at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of
the Loans and other Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the LC Banks and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

 (d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee,
the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment
required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless
it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 

  
 93 

 (e) Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Borrower, any LC Bank or the
Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible Institution, in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, each Guarantor and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to
Section 11.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and
limitations therein (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(e) and (f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.19 as through it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section. Each Lender that sells a
participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s
interest in the obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the
identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in the obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such interest is in registered form under
Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the
owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a
Participant Register. 
 (f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.l5 or 2.17
than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the
Participant acquired the applicable participation. 
 (g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation, to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a
security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

  
 94 

 SECTION 11.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Borrower and each Guarantor herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 10.01(c)(iii) and 11.03 and Article IX shall survive and remain in full
force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

SECTION 11.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the commitment letter relating to the
credit facility provided hereby (to the extent provided therein) and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and
supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Sections 3.01 and 3.02, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this
Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof
or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures
and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
 SECTION 11.07.
Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

SECTION 11.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each LC
Bank or any Affiliate thereof is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and
other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any of and all the Obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or such LC Bank, irrespective of
whether or not such Lender or such LC Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such Obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender and each LC Bank under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. 

  
 95 

 SECTION 11.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of
Process. 
 (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

 (b) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any
thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such
action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may
be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any LC Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (c) Each
Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such
action or proceeding in any such court. 
 (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the
manner provided for notices in Section 11.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 

  
 96 

 SECTION 11.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT,
TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 

SECTION 11.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of
reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 
 SECTION 11.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information
may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of
the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any
suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or
any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction or any credit insurance provider, in each
case, relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes
available to the Administrative Agent, any LC Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all
information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party relating to a Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or its respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any LC
Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party; provided that, in the case of information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party after the
Effective Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation
to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the
existence 

  
 97 

 
of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent, the
Co-Documentation Agents, the Syndication Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments. 

EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING PARAGRAPH FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT
MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT
WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

 Annex A 
 PRICING GRID

 For purposes of this Pricing Grid, the following terms have the following meanings (as modified by the
provisos below): 
 “Level I Status” exists at any date if, at such date, the Index Debt is rated either
BBB+ or higher by S&P or Baa1 or higher by Moody’s. 
 “Level II Status” exists at any date if,
at such date, the Index Debt is rated either BBB by S&P or Baa2 by Moody’s. 
 “Level III
Status” exists at any date if, at such date, the Index Debt is rated either BBB- by S&P or Baa3 by Moody’s. 
 “Level IV Status” exists at any date if, at such date, the Index Debt is rated either BB+ by S&P or Ba1 by Moody’s. 

“Level V Status” exists at any date if, at such date, the Index Debt is rated either BB or lower or by S&P or
Ba2 or lower by Moody’s or no other Status exists. 
 “Status” refers to the determination of which
of Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status, Level IV Status or Level V Status exists at any date. 
 The credit ratings to be utilized
for purposes of this Pricing Grid are those assigned to the Index Debt, and any rating assigned to any other debt security of NiSource or CPG shall be disregarded. The rating in effect at any date is that in effect at the close of business on such
date. 
 Provided, that the applicable Status shall change as and when the applicable Index Debt ratings change. 

  
 Annex A-1

 Provided further, that if the Index Debt is split-rated, the applicable Status shall be determined on the
basis of the higher of the two ratings then applicable; provided further, that, if the Index Debt is split-rated by two or more levels, the applicable Status shall instead be determined on the basis of the rating that is one level above the
lower of the two ratings then applicable. 
 Provided further, that if both Moody’s and S&P, or their successors as applicable, shall
have ceased to issue or maintain such ratings, then the applicable Status shall be Level V.
