 MASTER AGREEMENT 
 dated as of
October 27, 2008 
  

					
		 	and	  	
	 BRANCH BANKING AND TRUST COMPANY
	 		  	 ROANOKE GAS COMPANY

	(“Party A”)	 		  	(“Party B”)

 have entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transactions (each a “Transaction”) that are or
will be governed by this Master Agreement, which includes the schedule (the “Schedule”), and the documents and other confirming evidence (each a “Confirmation”) exchanged between the parties confirming those Transactions.

 Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:— 
  

	1.	Interpretation 

  

	 	(a)	Definitions. The terms defined in Section 12 and in the Schedule will have the meanings therein specified for the purpose of
this Master Agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	Inconsistency. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the
Schedule will prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of any Confirmation and this Master Agreement (including the Schedule), such Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the relevant Transaction.

  

	 	(c)	Single Agreement. All Transactions are entered into in reliance on the fact that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single
agreement between the parties (collectively referred to as this “Agreement”), and the parties would not otherwise enter into any Transactions. 

  

	2.	Obligations 

  

	 	(a)	General Conditions. 

  

	 	(i)	Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(ii)	 Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date for value on that date in the place of the account specified in the relevant Confirmation or otherwise
pursuant to this Agreement, in freely transferable funds and in the manner customary for payments in the required currency. Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other than by payment), such

delivery will be made for receipt on the due date in the manner customary for the relevant obligation unless otherwise specified in the relevant Confirmation
or elsewhere in this Agreement. 

  

	 	(iii)	Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject to (1) the condition precedent that no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with respect to the
other party has occurred and is continuing, (2) the condition precedent that no Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction has occurred or been effectively designated and (3) each other applicable condition precedent
specified in this Agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	Change of Account. Either party may change its account for receiving a payment or delivery by giving notice to the other party at least five Local
Business Days prior to the scheduled date for the payment or delivery to which such change applies unless such other party gives timely notice of a reasonable objection to such change. 

  

	 	(c)	Netting. If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable: 

  

	 	(i)	in the same currency; and 

  

	 	(ii)	in respect of the same Transaction, 

 by each party to the
other, then, on such date, each party’s obligation to make payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one party exceeds the aggregate amount
that would otherwise have been payable by the other party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by whom the larger aggregate amount would have been payable to pay to the other party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller
aggregate amount. 
 The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net amount will be determined in respect of all
amounts payable on the same date in the same currency in respect of such Transactions, regardless of whether such amounts are payable in respect of the same Transaction. The election may be made in the Schedule or a Confirmation by specifying that
subparagraph (ii) above will not apply to the Transactions identified as being subject to the election, together with the starting date (in which case subparagraph (ii) above will not, or will cease to, apply to such Transactions from such
date). This election may be made separately for different groups of Transactions and will apply separately to each pairing of branches or offices through which the parties make and receive payments or deliveries. 
  

	 	(d)	Default interest; Other Amounts. Prior to the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction, a party
that defaults in the performance of any payment obligation will, to the extent permitted by law and subject to Section (6c), be required to pay interest (before as well as after judgment) on the overdue amount to the other party on demand in the
same currency as such overdue amount, for the period from (and including) the original due date for payment to (but excluding) the date of actual payment, at the Default Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and
the actual number of days elapsed. If, prior to the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction, a party defaults in the performance of any obligation required to be settled by delivery, it
will compensate the other party on demand if and to the extent provided for in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement. 

  

	3.	Representations 

 Each party represents to the other
party (which representations will be deemed to be repeated by each party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into) that:— 
  

	 	(a)	Basic Representations 

  

	 	(i)	Status. It is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation and, if relevant under such
laws, in good standing;

		 	Second Printing

	 	(ii)	Powers. It has the power to execute this Agreement and any other documentation relating to this Agreement to which it is a party, to
deliver this Agreement and any other documentation relating to this Agreement that it is required by this Agreement to deliver and to perform its obligations under this Agreement and any obligations it has under any Credit Support Document to which
it is a party and has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution, delivery, and performance; 

  

	 	(iii)	No Violation or Conflict. Such execution, delivery, and performance do not violate or conflict with any law applicable to it, any provision
or its constitutional documents, any order or judgment or any court or other agency of government applicable to it or any of its assets or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its assets; 

  

	 	(iv)	Consents. All governmental and other consents that are required to have been obtained by it with respect to this Agreement or any Credit
Support Document to which it is a party have been obtained and are in full force and effect and all conditions of any such consents have been complied with; and 

  

	 	(v)	Obligations Binding. Its obligations under this Agreement and any Credit Support Document to which it is a party constitute its legal,
valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to
enforceability, to equitable principles of general application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law)). 

  

	 	(b)	Absence of Certain Events. No Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or, to its knowledge, Termination Event with respect to it has
occurred and is continuing and no such event or circumstance would occur as a result of its entering into or performing its obligations under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party. 

  

	 	(c)	Absence of Litigation. There is not pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against it or any its Affiliates any action, suit or
proceeding at law or in equity or before any court, tribunal, governmental body, agency or official or any arbitrator that is likely to affect the legality, validity or enforceability against it of this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to
which it is a party or its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or such Credit Support Document. 

  

	 	(d)	Accuracy of Specified Information. All applicable information that is furnished in writing by or on behalf of it to the other party and is
identified for the purpose of this Section 3(d) in the Schedule is, as of the date of the information, true, accurate and complete in every material respect. 

  

	4.	Agreements 

 Each party agrees with the other that,
so long as either party has or may have any obligation under this Agreement or under any Credit Support Document to which it is a party:— 
  

	 	(a)	Furnish Specified Information. It will deliver to the other party any forms, documents, or certificates specified in the Schedule or any
Confirmation by the date specified in the Schedule or such Confirmation or, if none is specified, as soon as reasonably practicable. 

  

	 	(b)	Maintain Authorizations. It will use all reasonable efforts to maintain in full force and effect all consents of any governmental or other
authority that are required to be obtained by it with respect to this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party and will use all reasonable efforts to obtain any that may become necessary in the future.

	 	(c)	Comply with Laws. It will comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and orders to which it may be subject if failure so to comply
would materially impair its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party. 

  

	5.	Events of Default and Termination Events. 

  

	 	(a)	Events of Default. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any
Specified Entity of such party of any of the following events constitutes an event of default (an “Event of Default”) with respect to such party:— 

  

	 	(i)	Failure to Pay or Deliver. Failure by the party to make, when due, any payment under this Agreement or delivery under Section 2(a)(i)
or 2(d) required to be made by it if such failure is not remedied on or before the third Local Business Day after notice of such failure is given to the party; 

  

	 	(ii)	Breach of Agreement. Failure by the party to comply with or perform any agreement or obligation (other than an obligation to make any
payment under this Agreement or delivery under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(d) or to give notice of Termination Event) to be complied with or performed by the party in accordance with this Agreement if such failure is not remedied on or before the
thirtieth day after notice of such failure is given to the party; 

  

	 	(iii)	Credit Support Default. 

  

	 	(1)	Failure by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such party to comply with or perform any agreement or obligation to be complied with or performed by it in accordance with any
Credit Support Document if such failure is continuing after any applicable grace period has elapsed; 

  

	 	(2)	the expiration or termination of such Credit Support Document or the failing or ceasing of such Credit Support Document to be in full force and effect for the purpose of this
Agreement (in either case other than in accordance with its terms) prior to the satisfaction of all obligations of such party under each Transaction to which such Credit Support Document relates without the written consent of the other party; or

  

	 	(3)	the party or such Credit Support Provider disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or rejects, in whole or in part, or challenges the validity of, such Credit Support Document;

  

	 	(iv)	Misrepresentation. A representation made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated by the party or any Credit Support Provider of
such party in this Agreement or any Credit Support Document proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated; 

  

	 	(v)	Default under Specified Transaction. The party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party
(1) defaults under a Specified Transaction and, after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period, there occurs a liquidation of, an acceleration of obligations under, or an early termination of, that Specified
Transaction, (2) defaults, after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period, in making any payment or delivery due on the last payment, delivery or exchange date of, or any payment on early termination of, a Specified
Transaction (or such default continues for at least three Local Business Days if there is no applicable notice requirement or grace period) or (3) disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or rejects, in whole or in part, a Specified Transaction (or
such action is taken by any person or entity appointed or empowered to operate it or act on its behalf); 

  

			
	4	 	ISDA® 1992   
		 	Second Printing

	 	(vi)	Cross Default. If “Cross Default” is specified in the Schedule as applying to the party, the occurrence or existence of (1) a default,
event of default or other similar condition or event (however described) in respect of such party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party under one or more agreements or instruments relating to
Specified Indebtedness of any of them (individually or collectively) in an aggregate amount of not less than the applicable Threshold Amount (as specified in the Schedule) which has resulted in such Specified Indebtedness becoming, or becoming
capable at such time of being declared, due and payable under such agreements or instruments, before it would otherwise have been due and payable or (2) a default by such party, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified Entity
(individually or collectively) in making one or more payments on the due date thereof in an aggregate amount of not less than the applicable Threshold Amount under such agreements or instruments (after giving effect to any applicable notice
requirement or grace period); 

  

	 	(vii)	Bankruptcy. The party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party: 

 (1) is dissolved (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger); (2) becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts or fails or
admits in writing its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due; (3) makes a general assignment, arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of its creditors; (4) institutes or has instituted against it a proceeding
seeking a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or any other relief under any bankruptcy of insolvency law or other similar law affecting creditors rights, or a petition is presented for its winding-up or liquidation, and, in the case of any such
proceedings or petition instituted or presented against it, such proceeding or petition (A) results in a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or the entry of an order for relief or the making of an order for its winding-up or liquidation or (B)
is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained in each case within 30 days of the institution or presentation thereof; (5) has a resolution passed for its winding-up, official management or liquidation (other than pursuant to a
consolidation, amalgamation, or merger); (6) seeks or becomes subject to the appointment of an administrator, provisional liquidator, conservator, receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or substantially all its
assets; (7) has a secured party take possession of all or substantially all its assets or has a distress, execution, attachment, sequestration or other legal process of levied, enforced or sued on or against all or substantially all its assets
and such secured party maintains possession, or any such process is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained in each case within 30 days thereafter; (8) causes or is subject to any event with respect to it which, under the applicable
laws of any jurisdiction, has an analogous effect to any of the events specified (1) to (7) (inclusive); or (9) takes any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the foregoing
acts; or 
  

	 	(viii)	Merger Without Assumption. The party or any Credit Support Provider of such party consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or
substantially all its assets to, another entity and, at the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, or transfer: 

  

	 	(1)	the resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to assume all the obligations of such party or such Credit Support Provider under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document
to which it or its predecessor was a party by operation of law or pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the other party to this Agreement; or 

  

	 	(2)	the benefits of any Credit Support Document fail to extend (without the consent of the other party) to the performance by such resulting, surviving or transferee entity of its
obligations under this Agreement. 

  

			
	5	 	ISDA® 1992   
		 	Second Printing

	 	(b)	Termination Events. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity of such
party of any event specified below constitutes an Illegality if the event is specified in (i) below, and, if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger if the event is specified pursuant to (ii) below or an Additional
Termination Event if the event is specified pursuant to (iii) below: 

  

	 	(i)	Illegality. Due to the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law after the date on which a Transaction is entered into, or due to the promulgation of, or any
change in, the interpretation by any court, tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction of any applicable law after such date, it becomes unlawful (other than as a result of a breach by the party of Section 4(b)) for such party
(which will be the Affected Party): 

  

	 	(1)	to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment or delivery or to receive a payment or delivery in respect of such Transaction or to comply with any other
material provision of this Agreement relating to such Transaction; or 

  

	 	(2)	to perform, or for any Credit Support Provider of such party to perform, any contingent or other obligation which the party (or such Credit Support Provider) has under any Credit
Support Document relating to such Transaction; 

  

	 	(ii)	Credit Event Upon Merger. If “Credit Event Upon Merger” is specified in the Schedule as applying to the party, such party (“X”), any Credit Support
Provider of X or any applicable Specified Entity of X consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and such action does not constitute an event described in
Section 5(a)(viii) but the creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is materially weaker than that of X, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified Entity, as the case may be, immediately prior to such action (and,
in such event, X or its successor or transferee, as appropriate, will be the Affected Party); or 

  

	 	(iii)	Additional Termination Event. If any “Additional Termination Event” is specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation as applying, the occurrence of such
event (and, in such event, the Affected Party or Affected Parties shall be as specified for such Additional Termination Event in the Schedule or such Confirmation). 

  

	 	(c)	Event of Default and Illegality. If an event or circumstance which would otherwise constitute or give rise to an Event of Default also constitutes an Illegality, it
will be treated as an Illegality and will not constitute an Event of Default. 

  

	6.	Early Termination 

  

	 	(a)	Right to Terminate Following Event of Default. If at any time an Event of Default with respect to a party (the “Defaulting Party”) has occurred
and is then continuing, the other party (the “Non-defaulting Party”) may, by not more than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the relevant Event of Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective
as an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions. If, however, “Automatic Early Termination” is specified in the Schedule as applying to a party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding
Transactions will occur immediately upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1), (3), (5), (6) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8), and as of the time immediately preceding
the institution of the relevant proceeding or the presentation of the relevant petition upon the occurrence with respect to such part of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8).

  

			
	6	 	ISDA® 1992   
		 	Second Printing

	 	(b)	Right to Terminate Following Termination Event. 

  

	 	(i)	Notice. If a Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party will, promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify the other party, specifying the nature of that Termination
Event and each Affected Transaction and will also give such other information about the Termination Event as the other party may reasonably require. 

  

	 	(ii)	Two Affected Parties. If an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) occurs and there are two Affected Parties, each party will use all reasonable efforts to reach
agreement within 30 days after notice thereof is given under Section 6(b)(i) on action to avoid that Termination Event. 

  

	 	(iii)	Right to Terminate. If: 

  

	 	(1)	an agreement under Section 6(b)(ii) has not be effected with respect to all Affected Transactions within 30 days after an Affected Party gives notice under
Section 6(b)(i); or 

  

	 	(2)	an Illegality other than that referred to in 6(b)(ii), a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event occurs, 

 either party in the case of Illegality, an Affected Party in the case of an Additional Termination Event if there is more than one Affected Party, or the
party which is not the Affected Party in the case of a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event if there is only one Affected Party may, by not more than 20 days notice to the other party and provided that the relevant Termination
Event is then continuing, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected Transactions. 
  

	 	(c)	Effect of Designation. 

  

	 	(i)	If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given under Section 6(a) or (b), the Early Termination Date will occur on the date so designated, whether or not the relevant
Event of Default or Termination Event is then continuing. 

  

	 	(ii)	Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date, no further payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(d) in respect of the Terminated
Transactions will be required to be made, but without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement. The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date shall be determined pursuant to Section 6(e).

  

	 	(d)	Calculations. 

  

	 	(i)	Statement. On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an Early Termination Date, each party will make the calculations on its
part, if any, contemplated by Section 6(e) and will provide to the other party a statement (1) showing, in reasonable detail, such calculations (including all relevant quotations and specifying any amount payable under Section 6(e))
and (2) giving details of the relevant account to which any amount payable to it is to be paid. In the absence of written confirmation from the source of a quotation obtained in determining a Market Quotation, the records of the party obtaining
such quotation will be conclusive evidence of the existence and accuracy of such quotation. 

  

	 	(ii)	Payment Date. An amount calculated as being due in respect of any Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) will be payable on the day that notice
of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early Termination Date, which is designated or occurs as a result of an Event of Default) and on the day which is two Local Business Days after the day on which notice of the amount payable is
effective (in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated as a result of a Termination Event). Such amount will be paid together with (to the extent permitted under applicable law) interest thereon (before as well as after judgement),
from (and including) the relevant Early Termination Date to (but excluding) the date such amount is paid, at the Applicable Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed.

	 	(e)	Payments on Early Termination. If an Early Termination Date occurs, the following provisions shall apply based on the parties’ election in the
Schedule of a payment measure, either “Market Quotation” or “Loss,” and a payment method, either the “First Method” or the “Second Method.” If the parties fail to designate a payment measure or payment method
in the Schedule, it will be deemed that “Market Quotation” or the “Second Method,” as the case may be, shall apply. The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date and determined pursuant to this Section will
be subject to any Set-off. 

  

	 	(i)	Events of Default. If the Early Termination Date results from an Event of Default:— 

  

	 	(1)	First Method and Market Quotation. If the First Method and Market Quotation apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party the excess, if a positive number,
of (A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party over (B) the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party.

  

	 	(2)	First Method and Loss. If the First Method and Loss apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party, if a positive number, the Non-defaulting Party’s
Loss in respect of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(3)	Second Method and Market Quotations. If the Second Method and Market Quotation apply, an amount will be payable equal to (A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined
by the Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party less (B) the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party. If that amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party
will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting Party. 

  

	 	(4)	Second Method and Loss. If the Second Method and Loss apply, an amount will be payable equal to the Non-defaulting Party’s Loss in respect of this Agreement. If that
amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting Party. 

  

	 	(ii)	Termination Events. If the Early Termination Date results from a Termination Event:— 

  

	 	(1)	One Affected Party. If there is one Affected Party, the amount payable will be determined in accordance with Section 6(e)(i)(3), if Market Quotation applies, or
Section 6(e)(i)(4), if Loss applies, except that, in either case, references to the Defaulting Party and to the Non-defaulting Party will be deemed to be references to the Affected Party and the party which is not the Affected Party,
respectively, and, if Loss applies and fewer than all the Transactions are being terminated, Loss shall be calculated in respect of all Terminated Transactions. 

  

	 	(2)	Two Affected Parties. If there are two Affected Parties:— 

  

	 	(A)	if Market Quotation applies, each party will determine a Settlement Amount in respect of the Terminated Transactions, and an amount will be payable equal to (I) the sum of
(a) one-half of the difference between the Settlement Amount of the party with the higher Settlement Amount (“X”) and the Settlement Amount of the party with the lower Settlement Amount (“Y”) and (b) the Unpaid Amounts
owing to X less (II) the Unpaid Amounts owing to Y; and 

  

			
	8	 	ISDA® 1992   
		 	Second Printing

	 	(B)	If Loss applies, each party will determine its Loss in respect of this Agreement (or, if fewer than all the Transactions are being terminated, in respect of all Terminated
Transactions) and an amount will be payable equal to one-half of the difference between the Loss of the party with the higher Loss (“X”) and the Loss of the party with the lower Loss (“Y”). 

 If the amount payable is a positive number, Y will pay it to X; if it is a negative number, X will pay the absolute value of that amount to Y.

  

	 	(iii)	Adjustment for Bankruptcy. In circumstances where an Early Termination Date occurs because “Automatic Early Termination” applies in respect of
a party, the amount determined under this Section 6(e) will be subject to such adjustments as are appropriate and permitted by law to reflect any payments or deliveries made by one party to the other under this Agreement (and retained by such
other party) during the period from the relevant Early Termination Date to the date for payment determined under Section 6(d)(ii). 

  

	 	(iv)	Pre-Estimate. The parties agree that if Market Quotation applies an amount recoverable under this Section 6(e) is a reasonable pre-estimate of loss
and not a penalty. Such amount is payable for the loss of bargain and the loss of protection against future risks and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement neither party will be entitled to recover any additional damages as a consequence of
such losses. 

  

	7.	Transfer 

 Neither this Agreement nor any interest
or obligation in or under this Agreement may be transferred (whether by way of security or otherwise) by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, except that:— 
  

	 	(a)	a party may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a consolidation amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all or substantially all its assets to,
another entity (but without prejudice to any other right or remedy under this Agreement); and 

  

	 	(b)	a party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in any amount payable to it from a Defaulting Party under Section 6(e). 

 Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section will be void. 
  

	8.	Miscellaneous 

  

	 	(a)	Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supercedes all
oral communication and prior writings with respect thereto. 

  

	 	(b)	Amendments. No amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing (including a writing evidence by a
facsimile transmission) and executed by each of the parties or confirmed by an exchange of telexes or electronic messages on an electronic messaging system. 

  

	 	(c)	Survival of Obligations. Without Prejudice to Sections 2(a)(iii) and 6(c)(ii), the obligations of the parties under this Agreement will survive the
termination of any Transaction. 

  

	 	(d)	Remedies Cumulative. Except as provided in this Agreement, the rights, powers, remedies, and privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights, powers, remedies, and privileges provided by law.

		 	Second Printing

	 	(e)	Counterparts and Confirmations. 

  

	 	(i)	This Agreement (and each amendment, modification, and waiver in respect of it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission), each of which
will be deemed an original. 

  

	 	(ii)	The parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms of each Transaction from the moment they agree to those terms (whether orally or otherwise). A Confirmation shall be
entered into as soon as practicable and may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission) or be created by an exchange of telexes or by an exchange of electronic messages on an electronic messaging system, which in
each case will be sufficient for all purposes to evidence a binding supplement to this Agreement. The parties will specify therein or through another effective means that any such counterpart, telex or electronic message constitutes a Confirmation.

	12	 	ISDA® 1992   
		 	Second Printing

 
funding or, at the election of such party but without duplication, loss or cost incurred as a result of its terminating, liquidating, obtaining or
reestablishing any hedge or related trading position (or any gain resulting from any of them). Loss includes losses and costs (or gains) in respect of any payment or delivery required to have been made (assuming satisfaction of each applicable
condition precedent) on or before the relevant Early Termination Date and not made, except, so as to avoid duplication, if Section 6(e)(i)(l) or (3) or 6(e)(ii)(2)(A) applies. Loss does not include a party’s legal fees and
out-of-pocket expenses referred to under Section 9. A party will determine its Loss as of the relevant Early Termination Date, or, if that is not reasonably practicable, as of the earliest date thereafter as is reasonably practicable. A party

 “Market Quotation” means, with respect to one or more Terminated Transactions and a party making the determination, an amount determined on the basis of quotations from Reference Market-makers.
Each quotation will be for an amount, if any, that would be paid to such party (expressed as a negative number) or by such party (expressed as a positive number) in consideration of an agreement between such party (taking into account any existing
Credit Support Document with respect to the obligations of such party) and the quoting Reference Market-maker to enter into a transaction (the “Replacement Transaction”) that would have the effect of preserving for such party the economic
equivalent of any payment or delivery (whether the underlying obligation was absolute or contingent and assuming the satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) by the parties under Section 2(a)(i) in respect of such Terminated
Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the relevant Early Termination Date, have been required after that date. For this purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of the Terminated Transaction or group of
Terminated Transactions are to be excluded but, without limitation, any payment or delivery that would, but for the relevant Early Termination Date, have been required (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) after that Early
Termination Date is to be included. The Replacement Transaction would be subject to such documentation as such party and the Reference Market-maker may, in good faith, agree. The party making the determination (or its agent) will request each
Reference Market-maker to provide its quotation to the extent reasonably practicable as of the same date and time (without regard to different time zones) on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant Early Termination Date. The day and
time as of which those quotations are to be obtained will be selected in good faith by the party obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), and, if each party is so obliged, after consultation with the other. If more than three
quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, without regard to the quotations having the highest and lowest values. If exactly three such quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the
quotation remaining after disregarding the highest and lowest quotations. For this purpose, if more than one quotation has the same highest value or lowest value, then one of such quotation shall be disregarded. If fewer than three quotations are
provided, it will be deemed that the Market Quotation in respect of such Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions cannot be determined. 
 “Non-default Rate” means a rate per annum equal to the cost (without proof or evidence of any actual cost) to the Non-defaulting Party (as certified by it) if it were to fund the relevant
amount. 
 “Non-defaulting Party” has the meaning specified in Section 6(a). 
 “Potential Event of Default” means any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse or time of both, would constitute an
Event of Default. 
 “Reference Market-makers” means four leading dealers in the relevant market selected by the party
determining a Market Quotation in good faith (a) from among dealers of the highest credit standing which satisfy all the criteria that such party applies generally at the time in deciding whether to offer or to make an extension of credit and
(b) to the extent practicable, from among such dealers having an office in the same city. 
 “Scheduled Payment
Date” means a date on which a payment or delivery is to be made under Section 2(a)(i) with respect to a Transaction.

payer. 
 “Settlement Amount” means, with respect to a party and any Early Termination Date, the sum of:—

  

	 	(a)	the Market Quotations (whether positive or negative) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions for which a Market Quotation is determined; and

  

	 	(b)	such party’s Loss (whether positive or negative and without reference to any Unpaid Amounts) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions for which a
Market Quotation cannot be determined or would not (in the reasonable belief of the party making the determination) produce a commercially reasonable result. 

 “Specified Entity” has the meaning specified in the Schedule. 
 “Specified
Indebtedness” means, subject to the Schedule, any obligation (whether present or future, contingent or otherwise, as principal or surety or otherwise) in respect of borrowed money.

other party or any applicable Specified Entity of such other party) which is a rate swap transaction, basis swap, forward rate transaction, commodity swap, commodity option, equity or equity index swap, equity or equity index option, bond option,
interest rate option, foreign exchange transaction, cap transaction, floor transaction, collar transaction, currency swap transaction, cross-currency rate swap transaction, currency option or any other similar transaction (including any option with
respect to any of these transactions), (b) any combination of these transactions and (c) any other transaction identified as a Specified Transaction in this Agreement or the relevant confirmation. 
 “Termination Transactions” means with respect to an Early Termination Date (a) if resulting from a Termination Event, all
Affected Transactions and (b) if resulting from an Event of Default, all Transactions (in either case) in effect immediately before the effectiveness of the notice designating that Early Termination Date (or, if “Automatic Early
Termination” applies, immediately before that Early Termination Date). 
 “Termination Event” means an Illegality
or, if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event. 
 “Termination
Rate” means a rate per annum equal to the arithmetic mean of the cost (without proof or evidence of any actual cost) to each party (as certified by such party) if it were to fund or of funding such amounts. 
 “Unpaid Amounts” owing to any party means, with respect to an Early Termination Date, the aggregate of (a) in respect of all
Terminated Transactions, the amounts that became payable (or that would have become payable but for Section 2(a)(iii)) to such party under Section 2(a)(i) on or prior to such Early Termination Date and which remain unpaid as at such Early
Termination Date and (b) in respect of each Terminated Transaction, for each obligation under Section 2(a)(i) which was (or would have been but for Section 2(a)(iii)) required to be settled by delivery to such party on or prior to
such Early Termination Date and which has not been so settled as at such Early Termination Date, an amount equal to the fair market value of that which was (or would have been) required to be delivered as of the originally scheduled date for
delivery, in each case together with (to the extent permitted under applicable law) interest, in the currency

of such amounts, from (and including) the date such amounts or obligations were or would have been required to have been paid or performed to (but excluding)
such Early Termination Date, at the Applicable Rate. Such amounts of interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. The fair market value of any obligation referred to in clause (b) above
shall be reasonably determined by the party obliged to make the determination under Section 6(e) or, if each party is so obliged, it shall be the average of the fair market values reasonably determined by both parties.

of the Agreement, Section 4 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding an additional subparagraph thereto, which subparagraph shall be lettered (d) and shall read as follows: 

 “(d) Covenants of Financial Agreements. 
 (i) Party B shall provide Party A at all times hereunder with the same covenant protection as Party A (or any Affiliate of Party A) requires of Party B under Financial Agreements. Therefore, in addition to the Cross Default provisions of
this Agreement, and notwithstanding the satisfaction of any obligation or promise to pay money to Party A (or any Affiliate of Party A) under any Financial Agreement, or the termination or cancellation of any Financial Agreement, Party B hereby
agrees to perform, comply with and observe for the benefit of Party A hereunder all affirmative and negative covenants contained in each Financial Agreement applicable to Party B (excluding any obligation or promise to pay money under any Financial
Agreement) at any time Party B has any obligation (whether absolute or contingent) under this Agreement. 
 (ii) For purposes hereof:
(A) the affirmative and negative covenants of each Financial Agreement applicable to Party B (together with related definitions and ancillary provisions, but in any event excluding any obligation or promise to pay money under any Financial
Agreement) are incorporated (and upon execution of any future Financial Agreement, shall automatically be incorporated) by reference herein (mutatis mutandis); (B) if other lenders or creditors are parties to any Financial
Agreement, then references therein to the lenders or creditors shall be deemed references to Party A; and (C) for any covenant applying only when any loan, other extension of credit, obligation or commitment under the Financial Agreement is
outstanding, that covenant shall be deemed to apply hereunder at any time Party B has any obligation (whether absolute or contingent) under this Agreement. 
 (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the incorporation herein of any provision by reference from any Financial Agreement would result in the violation of Party B of the terms of that Financial Agreement or be in
violation of any law, rule or regulation (as interpreted by any court of competent jurisdiction), then this Agreement shall not incorporate that provision. 
 “Financial Agreement” means each existing or future agreement or instrument relating to any loan or extension of credit from Party A (or any Affiliate of Party A) to Party B (whether or not anyone else is a
party thereto) including, without limitation, the Credit Support Documents, as the same exists when executed and without regard to: (i) any termination or cancellation thereof or Party A ceasing to be a party, thereto (whether as a result of
repayment thereof or otherwise), or (ii) or unless consented to in writing by Party A (or such Affiliate of Party A as may be party to such Financial Agreement), any amendment, modification, addition, waiver or consent thereto or thereof.

  

	(h)	Change of Account. Any account designated by a party pursuant to Section 2(b) shall be in the same legal and tax jurisdiction as the original account, or shall not
otherwise result in any withholding or other taxes under this Agreement or any Transaction.

	(i)	Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 

  

	(j)	Scope of Agreement. Any Specified Transaction now existing or hereafter entered into between the parties (whether or not evidenced by a Confirmation) which constitutes
(i) a swap, cap, collar, floor or option on interest rates in which the transaction is denominated U.S. Dollars, (ii) any other interest rate derivatives transaction denominated in U.S. Dollars, (iii) any option on or with respect to
any of the foregoing, or (iv) any combination of any of the foregoing, shall constitute a “Transaction” under this Agreement and shall be subject to, governed by, and construed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, unless
the confirming document(s) for that Specified Transaction provide(s) otherwise. For any such Specified Transaction not evidenced by a Confirmation, Section 2(a)(i) of this Agreement is amended to read as follows: “(i) Each party will make
each payment or delivery to be made by it under each Transaction, as specified in each Confirmation (or otherwise in accordance with the terms of that Transaction if not evidenced by a Confirmation), subject to the other provisions of this
Agreement.” In addition, any Specified Transaction between the parties evidenced by a Confirmation that by its terms specifies that it is subject to or governed by this Agreement (or an ISDA Master Agreement between the parties), whether
entered into before, on or after the date of this Agreement, shall constitute a Transaction under this Agreement and shall be subject to, governed by, and construed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

  

	(k)	Transfer. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 7 of this Agreement, if Party A’s rights in any loan or extension of credit under any Financial Agreement
are sold, assigned or otherwise transferred to any purchaser, assignee or transferee to which Party A may lawfully make such sale, assignment or transfer, then Party A may transfer without recourse its rights and obligations in or under this
Agreement (and any Credit Support Document) to any such purchaser, assignee or transferee, provided that Party B is provided with written notice of such transfer and a written acknowledgement of the purchaser, assignee or transferee stating that it

	(l)	Independent Obligations. (i) Although Party B may be entering into one or more Transactions under this Agreement to hedge against the interest expense of, or other risk
associated with, an existing or future loan or other financing, this Agreement and each Transaction shall be an independent obligation of Party B separate and apart from any such loan or other financing, and therefore: (A) each party’s
obligations under this Agreement or any Transaction shall not be contingent on whether any loan or other financing closes, is outstanding or is repaid, in whole or in part, at any time; (B) subject to paragraph (ii) below, any repayment,
acceleration, satisfaction, discharge or release of, and any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to, any loan or other financing, whether in whole or in part, at any time, shall not in any way affect this Agreement, any Transaction or
either party’s obligations under this Agreement or any Transaction; (C) payments that become due under this Agreement or any Transaction shall be due whether or not (1) the Notional Amount of any Transaction at any time is different from the
principal amount of any loan or other financing, (2) the Termination Date of any Transaction occurs before or after the maturity date of any loan or other financing, or (3) any other terms of any loan or other financing are different from
the terms of this Agreement or any Transaction; (D) nothing in this Agreement or in any Confirmation is intended to be, nor shall anything herein or therein be construed as, a prepayment penalty, charge or premium for purposes of any loan or other
financing, nor shall any terms of any loan or other financing be deemed a waiver of or otherwise impair any amount due or that may become due under this Agreement or under any Transaction; (E) if Party B at any time receives from Party A (or
any of its affiliates) any payoff statement or other written statement regarding any loan or other financing, nothing in such statement shall be deemed to apply to this Agreement or any Transaction except as otherwise expressly provided in that
statement and then only to the extent so provided; and (F) if at any time any existing or future collateral or other credit support secures or otherwise supports both this Agreement (or any Transaction hereunder) and any loan or other financing
(whether this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder is specifically identified in the collateral or credit support documents, or instead is referred to therein generically), then such collateral or other credit support shall continue to secure or
otherwise support Party B’s obligations under this Agreement (or any Transaction hereunder) until such time as all such obligations of Party B are completely satisfied notwithstanding any repayment, acceleration, satisfaction, discharge or
release of any such loan or other financing. 

 (ii) Nothing in paragraph (i) above shall be construed as impairing or
limiting: any set-off rights; any cross default, credit support default or other provisions contained in this Agreement or any Confirmation to the extent such provisions refer to any repayment or acceleration of any loan or other financing; any
rights or obligations under any Credit Support Documents; or any obligations of Party B under any covenant incorporated in this Schedule by reference from any loan or other financing (provided that any amendment, modification or waiver executed and
delivered by Party A in writing with respect to any such covenant shall be deemed to apply hereunder to that covenant as so incorporated unless otherwise expressly provided in such writing). 
  

	(m)	Notice by Facsimile Transmission. Section 10(a) is hereby amended by deleting the parenthetical “(except that a notice or other communication under
Section 5 or 6 may not be given by facsimile transmission or electronic messaging system)”.
