 (d) “Board” means
the Company’s Board of Directors, as constituted from time to time. 
 (e) “Cause” means
(a) acts or omissions constituting gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct with respect to the Optionee’s obligations or otherwise relating to the business of the Company; (b) the Optionee’s material breach of a
written agreement between the Optionee and the Company (or a Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate); (c) conviction or entry of a plea of nolo contendere for fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement, or any felony or crime of moral turpitude;
(d) dishonesty or involvement in any conduct that adversely affects the Company’s name or public image or is otherwise detrimental to the Company’s business interests; (e) willful neglect of duties; or (f) unauthorized use

persons who were not shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or other reorganization own immediately after such merger, consolidation or other reorganization 50% or more of the voting power of the outstanding
securities of each of (i) the continuing or surviving entity and (ii) any direct or indirect parent corporation of such continuing or surviving entity;

Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) of securities possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made directly to the Company’s
shareholders which a majority of the Continuing Directors who are not affiliated with the offeror do not recommend such shareholders accept; or 
 (5) A Divestiture; provided that a Divestiture shall be a Change in Control only to the extent that the Board determines that such Divestiture constitutes a Change in Control, and then only for the Optionee if the
Board has expressly resolved that such Divestiture constitutes a Change in Control for the Optionee or generally under the 2003 Plan. In making such determination, the Board need not adopt the same rules for each holder of a Company equity
compensation award. 
 A transaction shall not constitute a Change in Control if its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation

 (m) “Delay In Payments to Specified Employees”
means if the Optionee is a “specified employee” (as defined under Code Section 409A) on “separation from Service” (as defined under Code Section 409A), to the extent any Award or arrangement needs to comply with Code
Section 409A, then certain payments may be delayed and not be paid during the first six months following the “separation from Service” but will instead be paid on the earlier of the first business day of the 7th month following the “separation from Service,” or the Optionee’s death.

Affiliate sells or otherwise transfers its equity securities to a person or entity other than the Company or a Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate, or leases, exchanges or transfers all or any portion of its assets to such a person or entity, where the
Board specifies that such transaction or event constitutes a “Divestiture.”

retroactively even if that classification is changed retroactively for another purpose as a result of an audit, litigation or otherwise. The Optionee shall not cease to be an Employee due to transfers between locations of the Company, or among the
Company and a Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate, or to any successor to the Company or a Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate that assumes the Optionee’s Options under Section 11.3. Neither service as a Director nor receipt of a director’s
fee shall be sufficient to make a Director an “Employee.” 
 (r) “Exchange Act” means the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 
 (s) “Exercise Price” means the amount for which one
Common Share may be purchased upon exercise of the Option, as specified in this Agreement. 
 (t) “Fair Market
Value” means the market price of Common Shares, determined by the Committee in good faith on such basis as it deems appropriate. Whenever possible, the determination of Fair Market Value by the Committee shall be based on the prices
reported in The Wall Street Journal. Such determination shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

“Involuntary Termination” means the termination of the Optionee’s Service by reason of:

corporation that attains the status of a Parent on a date after the Date of Grant indicated in the Grant Notice shall be considered a Parent commencing as of such date. 
 (aa) “Securities Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 
 (bb) “Service” means your service as an Employee, Outside Director or Consultant. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or otherwise provided in the Agreement, Service shall continue

discontinue your Service unless you retain the status of Employee, Outside Director or Consultant of the Company or a remaining Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate. 
 (cc) “Subsidiary” means any corporation (other than the Company) in an unbroken chain of corporations beginning with the Company, if each of the corporations other than the last
corporation in the unbroken chain owns stock possessing 50% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock in one of the other corporations in such chain. A corporation that attains the status of a Subsidiary on a date after the
Date of Grant indicated in the Grant Notice shall be considered a Subsidiary commencing as of such date.

 1.2 Construction. Captions and titles contained herein are for convenience only and shall
not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. Use of the term “or” is not
intended to be exclusive, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

the Company, who shall be appointed by the Board. In addition, the composition of the Committee shall satisfy such requirements as the Securities and Exchange Commission may establish for administrators acting under plans intended to qualify for

such accounts will be used merely as a convenience. The Company shall not be required to segregate any assets on account of the grant of the Option or the issuance of Common Shares. The Company and the Committee shall not be deemed to be a trustee
of stock or cash to be awarded under the Agreement. Any obligations of the Company to the Optionee shall be based solely upon this Agreement. No such obligations shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any assets of the
Company. Neither the Company nor the Committee shall be required to give any security or bond for the performance of any such obligations. 
  

 -7- 

 2.6 Limitation of Liability. The Company (or members of the Board, Committee or secondary
committee) shall not be liable to the Optionee or other persons as to: (i) the non-issuance or sale of Common Shares as to which the Company has been unable to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the
Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Shares hereunder; and (ii) any unexpected or adverse tax consequence realized by the Optionee or other person due to the grant, receipt, exercise or settlement
of the Agreement.

 3.2 This Option will in no
event become exercisable for additional Common Shares after your Service has terminated for any reason. 
 4. Term. This
Option expires in any event at the close of business at Company headquarters on the Expiration Date, as shown in the Grant Notice. (This Option will expire earlier if your Service terminates, as described below.) 
 5. Effect of Termination of Service. 
 5.1 Regular Termination. If your Service terminates for any reason except death or Total and Permanent Disability, then this Option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date three
months after your termination date, or if such expiration date would fall on a day when Company headquarters are not open for business, at the close of business at Company headquarters on the last business day before such expiration date. The
Company determines when your Service terminates for this purpose. 
 5.2 Death. If you die before your Service terminates, then this
Option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date 12 months after the date of death, or if such expiration date would fall on a day when Company headquarters are not open for business, at the close of business at
Company headquarters on the last business day before such expiration date.

your Total and Permanent Disability, then this Option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date 12 months after your termination date, or if such expiration date would fall on a day when Company headquarters are not
open for business, at the close of business at Company headquarters on the last business day before such expiration date. 
 5.4 Leaves of
Absence and Part-Time Work. 
 (a) For purposes of this Option, your Service does not terminate when you go on a military leave, a sick
leave or another bona fide leave of absence, if the leave was approved by the Company in writing and if continued crediting of Service is required by the terms of the leave or by applicable law. But your Service terminates when the approved leave
ends, unless you immediately return to active work. 
  

 -8- 

 (b) If you go on a leave of absence, then the vesting schedule specified in the Grant Notice may be
adjusted in accordance with the Company’s leave of absence policy or the terms of your leave. If you commence working on a part-time basis, then the vesting schedule specified in the Grant Notice may be adjusted in accordance with the
Company’s part-time work policy or the terms of an agreement between you and the Company pertaining to your part-time schedule. 
 6.
[Intentionally Omitted]. 
 7. Notice of Exercise. 
 7.1 When you wish to exercise this Option, you may select one of the following: 
 (a) If you have established a Company sponsored account with E*Trade, or such other or substitute employee stock option plan administrative service as
the Company may elect to engage (such stock option administrative service being the “Plan Agency”), you may elect to exercise this Option by utilizing the procedures established by the Plan Agency for exercise of this Option. Such
procedures may include provisions for execution of an electronic or a written notice stating the number of Common Shares to be purchased pursuant to this Option and accompanied by delivery of an executed exercise agreement as implemented by the Plan
Agency, and payment made in accordance with this Agreement for the full purchase price of the Common Shares to be purchased. The Committee may from time to time establish further limitations and rules or procedures for exercise through the Plan
Agency. The Company may also discontinue use of the Plan Agency at any time, in which case you will be required to use the exercise procedure described below. 
 (b) Notify the Company by filing the proper “Exercise Notice” form at the address given on the form. Your notice must specify how many Common Shares you wish to purchase. Your notice must also
specify how your Common Shares should be registered. 
 7.2 Exercise through the Plan Agency will be effective in accordance with the
policies and procedures of the Plan Agency. An “Exercise Notice” filed with the Company will be effective when the Company receives it together with payment made in accordance with this Agreement for the full purchase price of the
Common Shares to be purchased. 
 7.3 If another person wants to exercise this Option after it has been transferred to him or her (a
“Transferee”), that person must prove to the Company’s satisfaction that he or she is entitled to exercise this Option, and must then select one of the exercise alternatives specified above; provided that exercise by a Transferee may
not be available through the Plan Agency, and if it is available, such exercise may require additional procedures or documentation established by the Company or the Plan Agency. 
 8. Form of Payment. When you exercise your Option, you must pay the entire Option exercise price for the Common Shares that you are
purchasing. Payment may be made in one or a combination of the following forms: 
 8.1 Your personal check, a cashier’s check or a
money order. 
 8.2 Irrevocable directions to a securities broker (such as the Plan Agency) approved by the Company to sell all or part of
your Option Common Shares and to deliver to the Company from the sale proceeds an amount sufficient to pay the Option exercise price and any withholding taxes. (The balance of the sale proceeds, if any, will be delivered to you.) This procedure
will be permitted only if you utilize the services of the Plan Agency, or another securities broker pre-approved by the Company in its sole discretion. You will not be permitted to use this procedure if you are an Officer or Director and this
procedure would be deemed an extension of credit or the arranging of an extension of credit in the form of a personal loan by the Company. 
  

 -9- 

 9. Restrictions on Exercise. The Company will not permit you or anyone else to
exercise this Option if the issuance of Common Shares at that time would violate any “Applicable Law.” The Company shall have the right to designate one or more periods of time, each of which shall not exceed one hundred eighty
(180) days in length, during which this Option shall not be exercisable if the Company determines (in its sole discretion) that such limitation on exercise could in any way facilitate a lessening of any restriction on transfer pursuant to the
Securities Act or any state securities laws with respect to any issuance of securities by the Company, facilitate the registration or qualification of any securities by the Company under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, or facilitate
the perfection of any exemption from the registration or qualification requirements of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws for the issuance or transfer of any securities. Such limitation on exercise shall not alter the Vesting
Schedule set forth in this Grant Notice other than to limit the periods during which this Option shall be exercisable. 
 If the sale of Common Shares
under the Agreement is not registered under the Securities Act, but an exemption is available which requires an investment or other representation, you shall represent and agree at the time of exercise that the Common Shares being acquired upon
exercise of this Option are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and its counsel. 
 10. Withholding Taxes and Stock Withholding. You will not be allowed to exercise this Option unless you make arrangements acceptable
to the Company to pay any withholding taxes that may be due as a result of the Option exercise. With the Company’s consent, these arrangements may include withholding Common Shares of Company stock that otherwise would be issued to you
when you exercise this Option. The value of these Common Shares shall be at their Fair Market Value on the date when they are withheld or surrendered and will be applied to the withholding taxes. 
 11. Protection Against Dilution. 
 11.1 Adjustments. In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in Company stock, corresponding proportionate adjustment shall automatically be made to the number of Common Shares covered by this Option and the
Exercise Price. 
 In the event of a declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than Common Shares in an amount that has a material
effect on the price of Common Shares, a recapitalization, a spin-off or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make such proportionate adjustments as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. Except as provided in this Section 11, the
Optionee shall have no rights by reason of any issuance by the Company of stock of any class or securities convertible into stock of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any stock dividend or
any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. Any adjustment of Common Shares pursuant to this Section 11.1 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Common Shares. Under no circumstances shall the
Company be required to authorize or issue fractional shares and no consideration shall be provided as a result of any fractional shares not being issued or authorized. 
 11.2 Dissolution or Liquidation. To the extent not previously exercised or settled, this Option shall terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company. 
  

 -10- 

 11.3 Reorganizations. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger or other
reorganization, the outstanding portion of this Option shall be subject to the agreement of merger or reorganization. Such agreement may provide for (a) the continuation of the outstanding portion of this Option by the Company, if the Company
is a surviving corporation, (b) the assumption of the outstanding portion of this Option by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary, (c) the substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary of its own
awards for the outstanding portion of this Option, (d) full exercisability or vesting and accelerated expiration of the outstanding portion of this Option, or (e) settlement of the full value of the outstanding portion of this Option in
cash or cash equivalents followed by cancellation of this Option. In the event of a Divestiture, the Board may, but need not, direct that one or more of the foregoing actions be taken with respect to the Optionee. 
 12. Deferral of Option. The Committee (in its sole discretion) may permit or require the Optionee to have Common Shares that
otherwise would be delivered to the Optionee as a result of the exercise of this Option converted into amounts credited to a deferred compensation account established for the Optionee by the Committee as an entry on the Company’s books. Such
amounts shall be determined by reference to the Fair Market Value of such Common Shares as of the date when they otherwise would have been delivered to the Optionee.
 A deferred compensation account established under this Section 12 may be credited with interest or other forms of investment return, as determined by the Committee. If such an account is established for the
Optionee, the Optionee shall have no rights other than those of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. Such an account shall represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the
applicable agreement between the Optionee and the Company. If the deferral or conversion of the Option is permitted or required, the Committee (in its sole discretion) may establish rules, procedures and forms pertaining to this Option, including
(without limitation) the settlement of deferred compensation accounts established under this Section 12. 
 Any and all arrangements under this
Section 12 must comply with the rules and requirements of Section 409A of the Code including, without limitation, the requirements for the timing of deferral elections and the Delay In Payments to Specified Employees. 
 13. Restrictions on Resale. You agree not to sell any Option Common Shares at a time when Applicable Law, Company policies or an
agreement between the Company and its underwriters prohibit a sale. This restriction will apply as long as your Service continues and for such period of time after the termination of your Service as the Company may specify. 

14. Transfer of Option. 
 14.1 In general, only you may exercise this Option prior to your death. You may not transfer or assign this Option, unless one of the provisions below applies. For instance, you may not sell this Option or use it as security for a
loan. If you attempt to do any of these things, this Option will immediately become invalid. You may, however, dispose of this Option in your will or in a beneficiary designation. 
 14.2 The Committee may, in its sole discretion, allow you to transfer this Option as a gift to one or more family members. For purposes of this
Agreement, “family member” means a child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law
(including adoptive relationships), any individual sharing your household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which one or more of these individuals have more than 50% of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which you or one or more of
these persons control the management of assets, and any entity in which you or one or more of these persons own more than 50% of the voting interest. 
  

 -11- 

 14.3 Regardless of any marital property settlement agreement, the Company is not obligated to honor a
notice of exercise from your former spouse, nor is the Company obligated to recognize your former spouse’s interest in your Option in any other way, except pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order. 
 14.4 The Committee will allow you to transfer this Option only if both you and the transferee(s) execute the forms prescribed by the Committee, which
include the consent of the transferee(s) to be bound by this Agreement. 
 15. Limitation on Rights. 
 15.1 Retention Rights. This Agreement does not give you the right to be retained by the Company or any Parent or any Subsidiary or Affiliate in any
capacity. The Company and its Parents and Subsidiaries and Affiliates reserve the right to terminate your Service at any time, with or without Cause. 
 15.2 Shareholder Rights. You (or your estate, heirs or transferee) have no rights as a shareholder of the Company until you (or your estate, heirs or transferee) have exercised this Option by giving the
required notice to the Company and paying the exercise price and satisfying the requirements of Section 10. No adjustments are made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before this Option is exercised.

 15.3 Regulatory Requirements. Any other provision of the Agreement notwithstanding, the obligation of the Company to issue
Common Shares under the Agreement shall be subject to all Applicable Law. The Company reserves the right to restrict, in whole or in part, the delivery of Common Shares pursuant to this Agreement prior to the satisfaction of all Applicable Law
relating to the issuance of such Common Shares, to their registration, qualification or listing or to an exemption from registration, qualification or listing. 
 15.4 Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, the Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and shall be interpreted in a
manner consistent with such intention. 
 16. Limitation on Payments. 
 16.1 Scope of Limitation. This Section 16 shall apply to an Award only if: 
 (a) The after-tax value of this Option to the Optionee, taking into account the effect of all federal, state and local income taxes, employment taxes
and excise taxes applicable to the Optionee (including the excise tax under section 4999 of the Code), will be greater after the application of this Section 16 than it was before the application of this Section 16; or 
 (b) The Committee, at the time of making this Agreement or at any time thereafter, specifies in writing that this Option shall be subject to this
Section 16 (regardless of the after-tax value of this Option to the Optionee). 
 If this Section 16 applies to this Option, it shall supersede any
contrary provision of the Agreement. 
  

 -12- 

 16.2 Basic Rule. In the event that any payment or transfer by the Company under the
Agreement to or for the benefit of the Optionee (a “Payment”) would be nondeductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes because of the provisions concerning “excess parachute payments” in section 280G of the Code,
after taking into account all other “excess parachute payments,” including any reductions of such payments to avoid excise taxes under section 4999 of the Code, then the aggregate present value of all Payments shall be reduced (but not
below zero) to the Reduced Amount. For purposes of this Section 16, the “Reduced Amount” shall be the amount, expressed as a present value, which maximizes the aggregate present value of the Payments without causing any Payment to be
nondeductible by the Company because of section 280G of the Code. 
 16.3 Reduction of Payments. If any Payment would be
nondeductible by the Company because of section 280G of the Code, then the Company shall promptly give the Optionee notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation thereof and of the Reduced Amount, and the Optionee may then elect, in
his or her sole discretion, which and how much of the Payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the aggregate present value of the Payments equals the Reduced Amount) and shall advise the Company in writing of his or
her election within 10 days of receipt of notice. If no such election is made by the Optionee within such 10-day period, then the Company may elect which and how much of the Payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the
aggregate present value of the Payments equals the Reduced Amount) and shall notify the Optionee promptly of such election. For purposes of this Section 16, present value shall be determined in accordance with section 280G(d)(4) of the Code.
All determinations made by the Company under this Section 16 shall be made within 60 days of the date when a Payment becomes payable or transferable and would otherwise be nondeductible to the Company. As promptly as practicable following such
determination and the elections hereunder, and in no event more than 75 days from such determination, the Company shall pay or transfer to or for the benefit of the Optionee such amounts as are then due to him or her under the Agreement and shall
promptly pay or transfer to or for the benefit of the Optionee in the future such amounts as become due to him or her under the Agreement. 
 16.4 Related Corporations. For purposes of this Section 16, the term “Company” shall include affiliated corporations in accordance with section 280G(d)(5) of the Code. 
 17. Miscellaneous. 
 17.1 Legend. All certificates representing the Common Shares issued upon exercise of this Option shall, where applicable, have endorsed thereon the following legend: 
 “THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.” 
 17.2 Tax Treatment. This Option is intended to be a nonstatutory stock option, as provided in the Grant Notice. 
 17.3 Governing Law. This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of California (without regard to its choice-of-law
provisions). 
  

 -13- 

 17.4 The Agreement and Grant Notice. This Agreement and the Grant Notice constitute the entire
understanding between you and the Company regarding this Option. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning this Option are superseded. This Agreement may be amended only by another written agreement between the parties.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no consent of the Optionee shall be required if the Board determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the amendment, suspension, termination or modification: (a) is required or
advisable in order for the Company or the Agreement to satisfy Applicable Law, to meet the requirements of any accounting standard or to avoid any adverse accounting treatment, or (b) in connection with any transaction or event described in
Section 11, is in the best interests of the Company or its shareholders. The Board may, but need not, take the tax or accounting consequences to the Optionee into consideration in acting under the preceding sentence. Those decisions shall be
final, binding and conclusive. 
 By signing your Grant Notice form which precedes this Agreement, you agree to 
 all of the terms and conditions described above and in the Grant Notice.

 OCEANEERING INTERNATIONAL, INC. 
 11911 FM 529 
 Houston, TX 77041 
 $200,000,000 Private Shelf Facility 
 September 9, 2009 
 To Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“Prudential”) 
 To each other Prudential Affiliate which becomes bound 
   by this Agreement as hereinafter provided 
   (together with the Series A Purchasers, each, a “Purchaser” 
   and collectively, the “Purchasers”): 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 Oceaneering International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), agrees with each of the Purchasers as follows: 
 SECTION 1. AUTHORIZATION OF NOTES. 
 Section 1.1. Authorization of Issue of Shelf Notes. The Company will authorize the issue of its senior promissory notes (the
“Shelf Notes”, such term to include any such notes issued in substitution thereof pursuant to Section 13) in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000,000, to be dated the date of issue thereof, to mature, in the
case of each Shelf Note so issued, no more than 13 years after the date of original issuance thereof, to have an average life, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, of no more than 10 years after the date of original issuance thereof, to bear
interest on the unpaid balance thereof from the date thereof at the rate per annum, and to have such other particular terms, as shall be set forth, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, in the Confirmation of Acceptance with respect to such Note
delivered pursuant to Section 2.1(f), and to be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 attached hereto. The terms “Note” and “Notes” as used herein shall include each
Shelf Note delivered pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and each Note delivered in substitution or exchange for any such Note pursuant to any such provision. Notes which have (i) the same final maturity, (ii) the same principal
prepayment dates, (iii) the same principal prepayment amounts (as a percentage of the original principal amount of each Note), (iv) the same interest rate, (v) the same interest payment periods and (vi) the same date of issuance
(which, in the case of a Note issued in exchange for another Note, shall be deemed for these purposes the date on which such Note’s ultimate predecessor Note was issued), are herein called a “Series” of Notes.
Certain capitalized and other terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule B; and references to a “Schedule” or an “Exhibit” are, unless otherwise specified, to a Schedule or an Exhibit attached to this
Agreement. 

 SECTION 2. SALE AND PURCHASE
OF SHELF NOTES. 
 SECTION 2.1. SALE
AND PURCHASE OF SHELF NOTES. 
 (a) Facility.
Prudential is willing to consider, in its sole discretion and within limits which may be authorized for purchase by Prudential Affiliates from time to time, the purchase of Shelf Notes pursuant to this Agreement. The willingness of Prudential to
consider such purchase of Shelf Notes is herein called the “Facility”. At any time, the aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes stated in Section 1.1, minus the aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes purchased and
sold pursuant to this Agreement prior to such time, minus the aggregate principal amount of Accepted Notes (as hereinafter defined) which have not yet been purchased and sold hereunder prior to such time, plus the aggregate principal
amount of Notes purchased and sold pursuant to this Agreement and thereafter retired prior to such time (to the extent that the Company shall have agreed with Prudential to reinstate the Facility with respect to such amount) is herein called the
“Available Facility Amount” at such time. NOTWITHSTANDING THE WILLINGNESS OF PRUDENTIAL TO CONSIDER PURCHASES OF SHELF NOTES BY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATES, THIS AGREEMENT IS ENTERED INTO ON THE EXPRESS UNDERSTANDING THAT NEITHER
PRUDENTIAL NOR ANY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO MAKE OR ACCEPT OFFERS TO PURCHASE SHELF NOTES, OR TO QUOTE RATES, SPREADS OR OTHER TERMS WITH RESPECT TO SPECIFIC PURCHASES OF SHELF NOTES, AND THE FACILITY SHALL IN NO WAY BE CONSTRUED
AS A COMMITMENT BY PRUDENTIAL OR ANY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE. 
 (b) Issuance Period. Shelf Notes may be issued and sold
pursuant to this Agreement until the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement (or if such anniversary date is not a Business Day, the Business Day next preceding such anniversary) and (ii) the thirtieth day after
Prudential shall have given to the Company, or the Company shall have given to Prudential, a written notice stating that it elects to terminate the issuance and sale of Shelf Notes pursuant to this Agreement (or if such thirtieth day is not a
Business Day, the Business Day next preceding such thirtieth day). The period during which Shelf Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement is herein called the “Issuance Period”. 
 (c) Periodic Spread Information. Provided no Default or Event of Default exists, not later than 9:30 A.M. (New York City local time) on a
Business Day during the Issuance Period if there is an Available Facility Amount on such Business Day, the Company may request by telecopier or telephone, and Prudential will, to the extent reasonably practicable, provide to the Company on such
Business Day (or, if such request is received after 9:30 A.M. (New York City local time) on such Business Day, on the following Business Day), information (by telecopier or telephone) with respect to various spreads at which Prudential Affiliates
might be interested in purchasing Notes of different average lives; provided, however, that the Company may not make such requests more frequently than once in every five Business Days or such other period as shall be mutually agreed to by
the Company and Prudential. The amount and content of information so provided shall be in the sole discretion of Prudential but it is the intent of Prudential to provide information which will be of use to the Company in determining whether to
initiate procedures for use of the Facility. Information so provided shall not constitute an offer to purchase Notes, and neither Prudential nor any Prudential Affiliate shall be obligated to 

  

 2 

 
purchase Notes at the spreads specified. Information so provided shall be representative of potential interest only for the period commencing on the day such
information is provided and ending on the earlier of the fifth Business Day after such day and the first day after such day on which further spread information is provided. Prudential may suspend or terminate providing information pursuant to this
Section 2.1(c) for any reason, including its determination that the credit quality of the Company has declined since the date of this Agreement. 
 (d) Request for Purchase. The Company may from time to time during the Issuance Period make requests for purchases of Shelf Notes (each such request being a “Request for Purchase”). Each
Request for Purchase shall be made to Prudential by telecopier or overnight delivery service, and shall (i) specify the aggregate principal amount of Shelf Notes covered thereby, which shall not be less than $10,000,000 and not be greater than
the Available Facility Amount at the time such Request for Purchase is made, (ii) specify the principal amounts, final maturities, principal prepayment dates and amounts and interest payment periods (quarterly or semi-annually in arrears) of
the Shelf Notes covered thereby, (iii) specify the use of proceeds of such Shelf Notes, (iv) specify the proposed day for the closing of the purchase and sale of such Shelf Notes, which shall be a Business Day during the Issuance Period
not less than 10 days and not more than 25 days after the making of such Request for Purchase, (v) specify the number of the account and the name and address of the depository institution to which the purchase prices of such Shelf Notes are to
be transferred on the Closing for such purchase and sale, (vi) certify that the representations and warranties contained in Section 5 are true on and as of the date of such Request for Purchase and that there exists on the date of such
Request for Purchase no Event of Default or Default, and (vii) be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2 attached hereto. Each Request for Purchase shall be in writing signed by the Company and shall be deemed made when received by
Prudential. 
 (e) Rate Quotes. Not later than five Business Days after the Company shall have given Prudential a Request for
Purchase pursuant to Section 2.1(d), Prudential may, but shall be under no obligation to, provide to the Company by telephone or telecopier, in each case between 9:30 A.M. and 1:30 P.M. New York City local time (or such later time as Prudential
may elect) interest rate quotes for the several principal amounts, maturities, principal prepayment schedules, and interest payment periods of Shelf Notes specified in such Request for Purchase. Each quote shall represent the interest rate per annum
payable on the outstanding principal balance of such Shelf Notes at which a Prudential Affiliate would be willing to purchase such Shelf Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof. 
 (f) Acceptance. Within the Acceptance Window with respect to any interest rate quotes provided pursuant to Section 2.1(e), the Company
may, subject to Section 2.1(g), elect to accept such interest rate quotes as to not less than $10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Shelf Notes specified in the related Request for Purchase. Such election shall be made by an Authorized
Officer of the Company notifying Prudential by telephone or telecopier within the Acceptance Window that the Company elects to accept such interest rate quotes, specifying the Shelf Notes (each such Shelf Note being an “Accepted
Note”) as to which such acceptance (an “Acceptance”) relates. The day the Company notifies Prudential of an Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Notes is herein called the “Acceptance Day” for such
Accepted Notes. Any interest rate quotes as to which Prudential does not receive an Acceptance within the Acceptance Window shall expire, and no purchase or sale of Shelf Notes hereunder shall be made based on 

  

 3 

 
such expired interest rate quotes. Subject to Section 2.1(g) and the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company agrees to sell to a Prudential
Affiliate, and Prudential agrees to cause the purchase by a Prudential Affiliate of, the Accepted Notes at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes. As soon as practicable following the Acceptance Day, the Company, Prudential and each Prudential
Affiliate which is to purchase any such Accepted Notes will execute a confirmation of such Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit 3 attached hereto (a “Confirmation of Acceptance”). If the Company should
fail to execute and return to Prudential within three Business Days following the Company’s receipt thereof a Confirmation of Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Notes, Prudential may at its election at any time prior to Prudential’s
receipt thereof cancel the closing with respect to such Accepted Notes by so notifying the Company in writing. 
 (g) Market
Disruption. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1(f), if Prudential shall have provided interest rate quotes pursuant to Section 2.1(e) and thereafter prior to the time an Acceptance with respect to such quotes shall have
been notified to Prudential in accordance with Section 2.1(f) the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or derivatives shall have closed or there shall have occurred a general suspension, material limitation, or significant disruption of
trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or in the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or derivatives, then such interest rate quotes shall expire, and no purchase or sale of Shelf Notes hereunder shall be made based
on such expired interest rate quotes. If the Company thereafter notifies Prudential of the Acceptance of any such interest rate quotes, such Acceptance shall be ineffective for all purposes of this Agreement, and Prudential shall promptly notify the
Company that the provisions of this Section 2.1(g) are applicable with respect to such Acceptance. 
 (h) Fees.

 (h)(i) Structuring Fee. In consideration for the time, effort and expense involved in the preparation, negotiation and
execution of this Agreement, at the time of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and Prudential, the Company will pay to Prudential in immediately available funds a fee (the “Structuring Fee”) in the amount of
$200,000. If Prudential shall give notice to the Company pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(ii) of Prudential’s election to terminate the issuance and sale of Shelf Notes pursuant to this Agreement prior to the first anniversary of the date of
this Agreement, then Prudential agrees to return to the Company 50% of the Structuring Fee paid by the Company to Prudential. 
 (h)(ii).
Issuance Fee. The Company will pay to each Purchaser in immediately available funds a fee (the “Issuance Fee”) on each Closing Day (other than a Closing Date occurring on or before December 31, 2009) in an amount
equal to 0.125% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes sold to such Purchaser on such Closing Day. 
 (h)(iii). Delayed Delivery
Fee. If the closing of the purchase and sale of any Accepted Note is delayed for any reason beyond the original Closing Day for such Accepted Note, the Company will pay to each Purchaser which shall have agreed to purchase such Accepted Note
on the Cancellation Date or actual closing date of such purchase and sale a fee (the “Delayed Delivery Fee”) calculated as follows: 
 (BEY - MMY) X DTS/360 X PA 
  

 4 

 where “BEY” means Bond Equivalent Yield, i.e., the bond equivalent yield per annum of such
Accepted Note; “MMY” means Money Market Yield, i.e., the yield per annum on a commercial paper investment of the highest quality selected by Prudential on the date Prudential receives notice of the delay in the closing for
such Accepted Note having a maturity date or dates the same as, or closest to, the Rescheduled Closing Day or Rescheduled Closing Days for such Accepted Note (a new alternative investment being selected by Prudential each time such closing is
delayed); “DTS” means Days to Settlement, i.e., the number of actual days elapsed from and including the original Closing Day with respect to such Accepted Note (in the case of the first such payment with respect to such
Accepted Note) or from and including the date of the next preceding payment (in the case of any subsequent delayed delivery fee payment with respect to such Accepted Note) to but excluding the date of such payment; and “PA” means
Principal Amount, i.e., the principal amount of the Accepted Note for which such calculation is being made. In no case shall the Delayed Delivery Fee be less than zero. Nothing contained herein shall obligate any Purchaser to purchase any
Accepted Note on any day other than the Closing Day for such Accepted Note, as the same may be rescheduled from time to time in compliance with Section 3.2. 
 (h)(iv) Cancellation Fee. If the Company at any time notifies Prudential in writing that the Company is canceling the closing of the purchase and sale of any Accepted Note, or if Prudential notifies the
Company in writing under the circumstances set forth in the last sentence of Section 2.1(f) or the penultimate sentence of Section 3.2 that the closing of the purchase and sale of such Accepted Note is to be canceled, or if the closing of
the purchase and sale of such Accepted Note is not consummated on or prior to the last day of the Issuance Period (the date of any such notification, or the last day of the Issuance Period, as the case may be, being the “Cancellation
Date”), the Company will pay to each Purchaser which shall have agreed to purchase such Accepted Note no later than one day after the Cancellation Date in immediately available funds an amount (the “Cancellation Fee”)
calculated as follows: 
 PI X PA 
 where
“PI” means Price Increase, i.e., the quotient (expressed in decimals) obtained by dividing (a) the excess of the ask price (as determined by Prudential) of the Hedge Treasury Note(s) on the Cancellation Date over the bid
price (as determined by Prudential) of the Hedge Treasury Notes(s) on the Acceptance Day for such Accepted Note by (b) such bid price; and “PA” has the meaning in Section 2.1(h)(iii). The foregoing bid and ask prices shall
be as reported by TradeWeb LLC (or, if such data for any reason ceases to be available through TradeWeb LLC, any publicly available source of similar market data). Each price shall be based on a U.S. Treasury security having a par value of $100.00
and shall be rounded to the second decimal place. In no case shall the Cancellation Fee be less than zero. 
 SECTION 3. CLOSING. 
 Section 3.1. Facility Closings. Not later than 11:30
A.M. (New York City local time) on the Closing Day for any Accepted Notes, the Company will deliver to each Purchaser listed in the Confirmation of Acceptance relating thereto at the offices of Schiff Hardin, LLP, Suite 6600, 

  

 5 

 
233 South Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606, or at such other place pursuant to the directions of Prudential, the Accepted Notes to be purchased by such
Purchaser in the form of one or more Notes in authorized denominations as such Purchaser may request for each Series of Accepted Notes to be purchased on the Closing Day, dated the Closing Day and registered in such Purchaser’s name (or in the
name of its nominee), against payment of the purchase price thereof by transfer of immediately available funds for credit to the Company’s account specified in the Request for Purchase of such Notes. 
 Section 3.2. Rescheduled Facility Closings. If the Company fails to tender to any Purchaser the Accepted Notes to be purchased by such
Purchaser on the scheduled Closing Day for such Accepted Notes as provided above in Section 3.1, or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled by the time required on such scheduled Closing Day, the Company
shall, prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City local time, on such scheduled Closing Day notify Prudential (which notification shall be deemed received by each Purchaser) in writing whether (i) such closing is to be rescheduled (such rescheduled date
to be a Business Day during the Issuance Period not less than one Business Day and not more than 10 Business Days after such scheduled Closing Day (the “Rescheduled Closing Day”)) and certify to Prudential (which certification shall
be for the benefit of each Purchaser) that the Company reasonably believes that it will be able to comply with the conditions set forth in Section 4 on such Rescheduled Closing Day and that the Company will pay the Delayed Delivery Fee in
accordance with Section 2.1(h)(iii) or (ii) such closing is to be canceled. In the event that the Company shall fail to give such notice referred to in the preceding sentence, Prudential (on behalf of each Purchaser) may at its election,
at any time after 1:00 P.M., New York City local time, on such scheduled Closing Day, notify the Company in writing that such closing is to be canceled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary appearing in this Agreement, the Company may not elect
to reschedule a closing with respect to any given Accepted Notes on more than one occasion, unless Prudential shall have otherwise consented in writing.

 The Company represents and warrants to each Purchaser that: 
 Section 5.1. Organization; Power and Authority. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so
qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has the corporate power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or
hold under lease, to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Notes and to perform the provisions hereof and thereof.

Company, and this Agreement constitutes, and upon execution and delivery thereof each Note will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of
equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 
 Section 5.3. Disclosure.
This Agreement and the documents, certificates or other writings (including the financial statements listed on Schedule 5.5 and the financial statements provided pursuant to the terms hereof) delivered to the Purchasers by or on behalf

for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2009, and such other Form 10-Qs, Form 10-Ks, and SEC filings and other reports as provided or deemed to be provided by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof (this Agreement and such documents,
certificates or other writings and such financial statements delivered to each Purchaser prior to the applicable Closing being referred to, collectively, as the “Disclosure Documents”), taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the 

  

 9 

 
circumstances under which they were made. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents, since the end of the most recent fiscal year for which audited
financial statements have been furnished, there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business, properties or prospects of the Company or any Subsidiary except changes that individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no fact known to the Company that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set forth herein or in the Disclosure Documents. Any projections in any
Disclosure Document delivered to Prudential or any Purchaser on or prior to the date this representation is made or repeated were based on reasonable assumptions and the best information available to the officers of the Company at the time such
projections were prepared. 
 Section 5.4. Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries; Affiliates. (a) As of the
date of this Agreement Schedule 5.4 contains (except as noted therein) complete and correct lists (i) of the Company’s Subsidiaries, showing, as to each Subsidiary, the correct name thereof, the jurisdiction of its

 (c) Each Restricted Subsidiary is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to
be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each such Restricted Subsidiary has the corporate or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the
properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact. 
 (d) No Restricted
Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to any legal, regulatory, contractual or other restriction (other than this Agreement, the agreements listed on Schedule 5.4, customary limitations imposed by corporate law or similar
statutes, limitations arising after the date of this Agreement of the type described in clause (iv) or (vi) of Section 10.7, or agreements with respect to Indebtedness that does not exceed, individually or in the aggregate,
$10,000,000 in outstanding or committed amount and which can be prepaid at anytime without penalty or premium) restricting the ability of such Restricted Subsidiary to pay dividends out of profits or make any other similar distributions of profits

 10 

 (e) As of the date of this Agreement no Subsidiary of the Company is a co-borrower or a co-obligor with

officer of the Company: (a) consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at December 31 in each of the three fiscal years of the Company most recently completed prior to the date as of which this representation is made

Company and its Subsidiaries in each case as audited by Ernst & Young LLP or such other nationally recognized registered independent public accounting firm and (b) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at
the end of the quarterly period (if any) most recently completed prior to such date and after the end of such fiscal year (other than quarterly periods completed within 60 days prior to such date for which financial statements have not been
released) and the preceding fiscal year end and consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the periods from the beginning of the fiscal years in which such quarterly periods are included to the end of such quarterly periods, prepared by
the Company. All of said financial statements (including in each case the related schedules and notes) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of and at the dates indicated
therein and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the respective periods indicated and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved except as set forth in the notes thereto

Material liabilities that are not disclosed on such financial statements or otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Documents. 
 Section 5.6. Compliance with Laws, Other Instruments, Etc. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the Notes will not (i) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default
under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter or by-laws, or any other
agreement or instrument to which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is bound or by which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of
any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or (iii) violate any provision of any statute or

 11 

 Section 5.8. Litigation; Observance of Agreements, Statutes and Orders. (a) There are no
actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any Subsidiary or any property of the Company or any Subsidiary in any court or before any arbitrator of any
kind or before or by any Governmental Authority that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default under any term of any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound, or any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator
or Governmental Authority or is in violation of any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation (including without limitation Environmental Laws or the USA Patriot Act) of any Governmental Authority, which default or violation, individually or in
the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 5.9. Taxes. The Company and its
Subsidiaries have filed all tax returns that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction, and have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes and assessments levied upon them or their properties, assets,
income or franchises, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent, except for any taxes and assessments (i) the amount of which is not individually or in the aggregate Material or
(ii) the amount, applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, has established adequate reserves in accordance
with GAAP. The Company knows of no basis for any other tax or assessment that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect
of Federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate. The United States Federal income tax liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been finally determined (whether by reason of completed audits or the statute of
limitations having run) for all fiscal years up to and including the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. 
 Section 5.10. Title
to Property; Leases. The Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries have good and sufficient title to their respective properties that individually or in the aggregate are Material, including all such properties reflected in the most recent audited
balance sheet referred to in Section 5.5 or purported to have been acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary after said date (except as sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business or in accordance with this Agreement), in
each case free and clear of Liens prohibited by this Agreement. All leases that individually or in the aggregate are Material are valid and subsisting and are in full force and effect in all material respects. 
 Section 5.11. Licenses, Permits, Etc. (a) The Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries own or possess all licenses, permits, franchises,
authorizations, patents, copyrights, proprietary software, service marks, trademarks and trade names, or rights thereto, that individually or in the aggregate are Material, without known conflict with the rights of others.

permit, franchise, authorization, patent, copyright, proprietary software, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned by any other Person. 
  

 12 

 (c) To the best knowledge of the Company, there is no Material violation by any Person of any right of
the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to any patent, copyright, proprietary software, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned or used by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 Section 5.12. Compliance with ERISA. (a) The Company and each ERISA Affiliate have operated and administered each Plan in compliance
with all applicable laws except for such instances of noncompliance as have not resulted in and could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability pursuant
to Title I or IV of ERISA (other than to make contributions on a timely basis to satisfy the minimum funding standards of ERISA or to pay required premiums on a timely basis to the PBGC) or the penalty or excise tax provisions of the Code
relating to employee benefit plans (as defined in section 3 of ERISA), and no event, transaction or condition has occurred or exists that could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any such liability by the Company or any ERISA
Affiliate, or in the imposition of any Lien on any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, in either case pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or to such penalty or excise tax provisions or to section 430
or 436 of the Code or section 4068 of ERISA, other than such liabilities or Liens as would not individually or in the aggregate result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each of the Plans subject to Title IV of ERISA (other than Multiemployer Plans), determined as of the end of such Plan’s most recently ended plan
year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in such Plan’s most recent actuarial valuation report, did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities.
The term “benefit liabilities” has the meaning specified in section 4001 of ERISA and the terms “current value” and “present value” have the meaning specified in section 3 of ERISA.

 (c) The Company and its ERISA Affiliates have not incurred withdrawal liabilities (and are not subject to contingent withdrawal
liabilities) under section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA in respect of Multiemployer Plans that individually or in the aggregate are Material. 
 (d) Except as set forth on Schedule 5.12(d) or as otherwise disclosed in the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5 or the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(b), the expected
postretirement benefit obligation (determined as of the last day of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal year in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 106, without regard to liabilities attributable to
continuation coverage mandated by section 4980B of the Code) of the Company and its Subsidiaries is not Material. 
 (e) The execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Notes hereunder will not involve any non-exempt prohibited transaction under section 406(a)(1)(A-D) of ERISA or in connection with which a tax could be imposed pursuant to section
4975(c)(1)(A) (D) of the Code. The representation by the Company to each Purchaser in 

  

 13 

 
the first sentence of this Section 5.12(e) is made in reliance upon and subject to the accuracy of such Purchaser’s representation in
Section 6.2 as to the sources of the funds used to pay the purchase price of the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser. 
 Section 5.13. Private Offering by the Company. Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered the Notes or any similar securities for sale to, or solicited any offer to buy any of the same from, or otherwise
approached or negotiated in respect thereof with, any person other than the Purchasers and other Institutional Investors, each of which has been offered the Notes at a private sale for investment. Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf
has taken, or will take, any action that would subject the issuance or sale of the Notes to the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act or to the registration requirements of any securities or blue sky laws of any
applicable jurisdiction. 
 Section 5.14. Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. The Company will apply the proceeds of the sale of
the Notes for the refinancing of outstanding Indebtedness of the Company and for other general corporate purposes and will apply the proceeds of the sale of the Shelf Notes as set forth in the applicable Request for Purchase. No part of the proceeds
from the sale of the Notes hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of buying or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR 221), or for
the purpose of buying or carrying or trading in any securities under such circumstances as to involve the Company in a violation of Regulation X of said Board (12 CFR 224) or to involve any broker or dealer in a violation of Regulation T of said
Board (12 CFR 220). The Company and its Subsidiaries do not hold any margin stock and the Company does not have any present intention of holding any margin stock. As used in this Section, the terms “margin stock” and
“purpose of buying or carrying” shall have the meanings assigned to them in said Regulation U. 
 Section 5.15.
Existing Indebtedness; Future Liens. (a) Neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has outstanding any Indebtedness except as permitted by Sections 10.1(a), 10.2 and 10.3. Neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary
is in default and no waiver of default is currently in effect, in the payment of any principal or interest on any Indebtedness of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary and no event or condition exists with respect to any Indebtedness of the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that would permit (or that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more Persons to cause such Indebtedness to become due and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly
scheduled dates of payment.

Company to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes of any Series except upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes of such Series in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the
Notes of such Series. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate of the Company pursuant to any payment or prepayment of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or
exchange for any such Notes. 
 Section 8.8. Make-Whole Amount. 
 “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining
Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the
following terms have the following meanings: 
 “Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such
Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2, Section 8.4 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires. 
 “Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled
Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same
periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal. 
 “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by (i) the yields reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day
preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on the
run U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time are not
ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such
Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for U.S. Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date.

 In the case of each determination under clause (i) or clause (ii), as the case may be, of the preceding paragraph, such implied
yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice 

  

 25 

 
and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than such Remaining
Average Life and (2) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the
applicable Note. 
 “Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years (calculated to
the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called
Principal by (b) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment. 
 “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and
interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which
interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement
Date pursuant to Section 8.2, Section 8.4 or Section 12.1. 
 “Settlement Date” means, with respect to the
Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.4 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context
requires. 
 SECTION 9. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. 
 During the Issuance Period and so long thereafter as any Notes or other amount due hereunder is outstanding and unpaid, the Company covenants as follows:

 Section 9.1. Compliance with Law. Without limiting Section 10.10, the Company will, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which each of them is subject, including, without limitation, ERISA, the USA Patriot Act and Environmental Laws, and will obtain and maintain in effect all
licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of their respective properties or to the conduct of their respective businesses, in each case to the extent necessary to ensure that
non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect such licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations could not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 9.2. Insurance. The Company will, and will cause
each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such 

  

 26 

 
types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP are maintained
with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly situated. 
 Section 9.3. Maintenance of Properties. The Company will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good
repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear and, in the event of a casualty to any property resulting from force majeure, subject to Company having a reasonable amount of time to repair or rebuild the affected property),
so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, provided that this Section shall not prevent the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from discontinuing the keeping, operation and the
maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and the Company has concluded that such discontinuance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. 
 Section 9.4. Payment of Taxes and Claims. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, file
all tax returns (after giving effect to extensions) required to be filed in any jurisdiction and to pay and discharge all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes, assessments, governmental charges, or levies imposed on
them or any of their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent the same have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent and all claims for which sums have become due and payable that have or might become a Lien on
properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, provided that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary need to file any return or pay or discharge any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if (i) the filing amount,
applicability or validity thereof is contested by the Company or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and the Company or a Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on
the books of the Company or such Subsidiary or (ii) the nonfiling or nonpayment of all such taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 9.5. Corporate Existence, Etc. Subject to Section 10.6, the Company will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect
its corporate existence. Subject to Section 10.6, the Company will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries and all rights and franchises of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Company, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such corporate existence, right or franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 9.6. Books and Records. The Company will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries
to, maintain proper books of record and account in conformity with GAAP and all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory jurisdiction over the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be.

 Section 9.7. Covenant to Secure Notes Equally. The Company covenants that, if it or any Restricted Subsidiary shall create or
assume any Lien upon any of its property or assets, 

  

 27 

 
whether now owned or hereafter acquired, other than Liens permitted by the provisions of Section 10.4 (unless prior written consent to the creation or
assumption thereof shall have been obtained pursuant to Section 17), it will make or cause to be made effective provision whereby the Notes will be secured by such Lien equally and ratably with any and all other Indebtedness thereby secured so
long as any such other Indebtedness shall be so secured; provided that the creation and maintenance of such equal and ratable Lien shall not in any way limit or modify the right of the holders of the Notes to enforce the provisions of
Section 10.4. 
 Section 9.8. Subsequent Guarantors. The Company covenants that if any time any Subsidiary, which is not
then a Guarantor, shall become a co-borrower or co-obligor with the Company, or become obligated under any Guaranty with respect to the obligations owed by the Company, under any of the Company’s Primary Working Capital Credit Facilities, the
Company will cause such Person to execute and deliver to the holders of the Notes a guaranty agreement (each as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, a “Guaranty Agreement”) in form reasonably
satisfactory to Prudential and the Required Holder(s). Each such Guaranty Agreement shall be accompanied by a certificate of the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of such Subsidiary certifying such Subsidiary’s charter and by-laws (or comparable
governing documents), resolutions of the board of directors (or comparable governing body) of such Subsidiary authorizing the execution and delivery of such Guaranty Agreement and incumbency and specimen signatures of the officers of such Subsidiary
executing such documents, certificates with respect to such Subsidiary of the type described in Section 4.12(v) and an opinion of counsel for such Subsidiary with respect to such Guaranty Agreement of the type described in Section 4.4.

 Section 9.9. Notes to Rank Pari Passu. Subject to Section 9.7, the Notes and all other obligations under this Agreement
of the Company are and at all times shall remain direct obligations of the Company ranking pari passu as against the assets of the Company with all other Notes from time to time issued and outstanding hereunder without any preference among
themselves and pari passu with all other present and future unsecured Indebtedness (actual or contingent) of the Company which is not expressed to be subordinate or junior in rank to any other unsecured Indebtedness of the Company. 
 SECTION 10. NEGATIVE COVENANTS. 
 During the Issuance Period and so long thereafter as any Notes or other amount due hereunder is outstanding and unpaid, the Company covenants as follows:

 Section 10.1. Financial Covenants.

Required Holder(s), the terms of this Agreement shall, without any 

  

 37 

 
further action on the part of the Company or any of the holders of the Notes, be deemed to be amended automatically to include each Additional Covenant and
each Additional Default. The Company further covenants to promptly execute and deliver at its expense (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of counsel for the holders of the Notes) an amendment to this Agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to Prudential and the Required Holders evidencing the amendment of this Agreement to include such Additional Covenants and Additional Defaults, provided that the execution and delivery of such amendment shall not be a precondition to
the effectiveness of such amendment as provided for in this Section 10.12(a), but shall merely be for the convenience of the parties hereto. 
 (b) If after the time this Agreement is amended pursuant to Section 10.12(a) to include in this Agreement any Additional Covenant or Additional Default in any Primary Working Capital Facility such Additional
Covenant or Additional Default ceases to be in effect under such Primary Working Capital Credit Facility or is amended by the requisite lenders under such Primary Working Capital Facility so as to be less restrictive with respect to the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries, then, on the 10th day after the date the Company shall
have delivered financial information to the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(b) next following the receipt by Prudential and the holders of the Notes of notice that such Additional Covenant or Additional Default has ceased to be in
effect or such amendment has become effective, Prudential and the holders of the Notes will release or similarly amend, as the case may be, such Additional Covenant or Additional Default as in effect in this Agreement, provided that (i) on such 10
th day no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence, and (ii) if any
fees or other remuneration was paid to any lender under such Primary Working Capital Facility with respect to causing such Additional Covenant or Additional Default to cease to be in effect or to be so amended, then the Company shall have paid to
the holders of the Notes as the same fees or other remuneration on a pro rata basis in proportion to the relative outstanding principal amounts of the Notes and the principal amount of the Indebtedness outstanding under such Primary Working Capital
Facility (it being understood that any fees or other remuneration paid to any lender under any such Primary Working Capital Facility in order to obtain an extension to the term or an increase in the amount of the commitments to lend under such
Primary Working Capital Facility shall not be included as part of any fees or other compensation covered by this clause (ii)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no release or amendment to the Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.12(b) as the
result of any Additional Covenant or Additional Default in any Primary Working Capital Facility ceasing to be in effect or being amended shall cause the covenants or Events of Default in this Agreement to be less restrictive than the covenants or
Events of Default as contained in this Agreement, as in effect with regard to the amendment to this Agreement under Section 10.12(a) originally caused by such Additional Covenants or Additional Default. 
 SECTION 11. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

 SECTION 12. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT,
ETC. 
 Section 12.1. Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default with respect to the Company described in
Section 11(g) or (h) (other than an Event of Default described in clause (i) of Section 11(g) or described in clause (vi) of Section 11(g) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses clause (i) of
Section 11(g)) has occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable. 
 (b) If any other
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of more than 50% in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may at any time at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes then
outstanding to be immediately due and payable. 
 (c) If any Event of Default described in Section 11(a) or (b) has occurred and is
continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and
payable. 
 Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will
forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, but not limited to, interest accrued thereon at the Default Rate) and (y) the Make-Whole Amount determined
in respect of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice (including, without limitation, except as
expressly set forth above, notice of intent to accelerate or notice of acceleration), all of which are hereby waived. The Company acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the
Notes free from repayment by the Company (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of
Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances. 
 Section 12.2. Other
Remedies. If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time
outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note, or for an injunction
against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise. 
 Section 12.3. Rescission. At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or (c), the holders of not less than 51% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written
notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are
unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue 

  

 41 

 
interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) neither the Company nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due
solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and
(d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair
any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 12.4. No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. No course of dealing and no
delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or by
any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Company under
Section 15, the Company will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee of one or more Notes shall be registered in such register. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Person in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and
treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. The Company shall give to any holder of a Note that is an Institutional Investor promptly upon request
therefor, a complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered holders of Notes. 
 Section 13.2. Transfer and
Exchange of Notes. Upon surrender of any Note to the Company at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 18(iii)), for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a surrender for

information for notices of each transferee of such Note or part thereof), within ten Business Days thereafter, the Company shall execute and deliver, at the Company’s expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes (as requested by
the holder thereof) of the same Series as such surrendered Note in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder
may request and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note
if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less

  

 42 

 
than $100,000, provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes, one Note may be in a
denomination of less than $100,000. Any transferee, by its acceptance of a Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representation set forth in Section 6.2.

specified in Section 18(iii)) of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note (which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional Investor, notice from such
Institutional Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and 
 (a) in the case of loss, theft or
destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an original Purchaser or another holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least $50,000,000 or a Qualified
Institutional Buyer, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or 
 (b) in the case of
mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, within ten Business Days thereafter, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note of the same Series as such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note,
dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

 Section 14.2. Home Office Payment. So long as any Purchaser or its nominee shall be the holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything
contained in Section 14.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Company will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest by the method and at the address specified for such purpose below such
Purchaser’s name as specified in such Purchaser’s Confirmation of Acceptance, or by such other method or at such other address as such Purchaser shall have from time to time specified to the Company in writing for such purpose, without the
presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser shall
surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently designated by the Company pursuant to Section 14.1. Prior to any sale or
other disposition of any Note held by a Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election, 

  

 43 

 
either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Company
in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a Purchaser under this
Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 14.2. 
 SECTION 15. EXPENSES, ETC.

 Section 15.2. Survival. The obligations of the Company under this Section 15 will survive the payment or transfer of any
Note, the enforcement, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Notes, and the termination of this Agreement.

 All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the purchase or transfer by
any Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by any subsequent holder of a Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of such Purchaser or any other

and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof or of the Notes, unless such proposed amendment, waiver or consent relates only to a specific Series of Accepted Notes which
have not yet been purchased, in which case such information will only be required to be delivered to the Purchasers which shall have become obligated to purchase Accepted Notes of such Series. The Company will deliver executed or true and correct
copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 17 to each holder of outstanding Notes promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of,
the requisite holders of Notes. 
 (b) Payment. The Company will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any
remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any holder of Notes as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any holder of Notes
of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each holder of Notes
then outstanding even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment. 
  

 45 

 Section 17.3. Binding Effect, Etc. Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this
Section 17 applies equally to all holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Company without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment
or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Company and the holder of any Note nor any
delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note. As used herein, the term “this Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time
to time be amended or supplemented. 
 Section 17.4. Notes Held by Company, Etc. Solely for the purpose of determining whether
the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement or the Notes, or have directed the taking of any action
provided herein or in the Notes to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be
deemed not to be outstanding. 
 SECTION 18. NOTICES. 
 All notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and sent (a) by telecopy if the sender on the same day sends a confirming
copy of such notice by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), or (b) by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested (postage prepaid), or (c) by a recognized overnight delivery service (with charges

 (i) if to any Purchaser or its nominee, to such Purchaser or nominee at the address as specified
for such communications by such Purchaser in its Confirmation of Acceptance, or at such other address as such Purchaser or nominee shall have specified to the Company in writing, 
 (ii) if to any other holder of any Note, to such holder at such address as such other holder shall have specified to the Company in writing, or

 (iii) if to the Company, to the Company at its address set forth at the beginning hereof to the attention of Vice President/Treasurer, or
at such other address as the Company shall have specified to the holder of each Note in writing.

only when actually received. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 18, any communication pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be
made by the method specified for such communication in Section 2.1, and shall be effective to create any rights or obligations under this Agreement only if, in the case of a telephone communication, an Authorized Officer of the party conveying
the information and of the party receiving the information are parties to the telephone call, and in the case of a telecopier communication, the communication is signed by an Authorized Officer of the party conveying the information, addressed to
the attention of an Authorized Officer of the party receiving the information, and in fact received at the telecopier terminal the number of which is 

  

 46

information shall have specified in writing to the party sending such information. 
 SECTION 19.
REPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS. 
 This Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including,
without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any Purchaser at any Closing (except the Notes themselves), and (c) financial statements, certificates and other
information previously or hereafter furnished to any Purchaser, may be reproduced by such Purchaser by any photographic, photostatic, electronic, digital, or other similar process and such Purchaser may destroy any original document so reproduced.
The Company agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence
and whether or not such reproduction was made by such Purchaser in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 19 shall not
prohibit the Company or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction. 
 SECTION 20. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. 
 For the purposes of this Section 20, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of the
Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such
Purchaser as being confidential information of the Company or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure,
(b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by the Company or any
Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with
procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors,
officers, employees, agents, attorneys, trustees and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes), (ii) its financial advisors and other professional advisors who
agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note
or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase
any security of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction

  

 47 

 
over such Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires
access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order
applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent
such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes and this Agreement. Each holder of a Note, by
its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to
any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the
Company embodying the provisions of this Section 20. 
 SECTION 21. SUBSTITUTION OF
PURCHASER. 
 Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates as the purchaser of the Notes
that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Affiliate, shall contain such Affiliate’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a
confirmation by such Affiliate of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall be
deemed to refer to such Affiliate in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Affiliate is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such
Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Affiliate as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall
refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement. 
 SECTION 22. MISCELLANEOUS. 
 Section 22.1. Successors and
Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder
of a Note) whether so expressed or not. 
 Section 22.2. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the
Notes to the contrary notwithstanding (but without limiting the requirement in Section 8.4 that the notice of any optional prepayment specify a Business Day as the date fixed for such prepayment), any payment of principal of or Make-Whole
Amount or interest on any Note that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding
Business Day; provided that if the maturity date of any Note is a date other than a Business Day, the payment otherwise due on such maturity date shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed
in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day. 
  

 48 

 Section 22.3. Accounting Terms. All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly
defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (i) all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP, and
(ii) all financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants contained in this Agreement, any election by the Company to measure an item of Indebtedness using fair
value (as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not been made. 
 Section 22.4. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 22.5. Construction, etc. Each covenant
contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to
excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly
by such Person. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, all Schedules and Exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part hereof.

 Section 22.6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original
but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto. 
 Section 22.7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be
governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State. 
 Section 22.8. Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) The Company irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of
any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the
Company irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of
any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
  

 49 

 (b) The Company consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Notes in any suit,
action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 22.8(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to it at its address specified
in Section 18 or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. The Company agrees that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it
in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received
as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service. 
 (c) Nothing
in this Section 22.8 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against the Company in the courts of any
appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction. 
 (d) The
parties hereto hereby waive trial by jury in any action brought on or with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or any other document executed in connection herewith or therewith. 
 Section 22.9. Transaction References. The Company agrees that Prudential may (i) refer to its role in establishing the Facility, as well
as the identity of the Company the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Shelf Notes and the date on which the Facility was established, on its internet site or in marketing materials, press releases, published “tombstone”
announcements or any other print or electronic medium and (ii) display the Company’s corporate logo in conjunction with any such reference.

 FORM OF OPINION OF SPECIAL COUNSEL 
 TO THE COMPANY 
 [Letterhead of Baker Botts, L.L.P.] 
 [Date of Closing] 
 [Name(s) and
address(es) of 
     purchaser(s)] 
 Dear Sirs: 
 We have acted as counsel for Oceaneering International, Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with the
Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement, dated as of September 9, 2009, between the Company and Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company has issued to you today Senior Notes of
the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $[            ] (the “Notes”). All terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement have the
respective meanings specified in the Agreement. This letter is being delivered to you in satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 4.4(A)(i) of the Agreement and with the understanding that you are purchasing the Notes in reliance on
the opinions expressed herein. 
 In this connection, we have examined such certificates of public officials, certificates of officers of the
Company and copies certified to our satisfaction of corporate documents and records of the Company and of other papers, and have made such other investigations, as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for our opinion hereinafter set
forth. We have relied upon such certificates of public officials and of officers of the Company with respect to the accuracy of material factual matters contained therein which were not independently established. 
 Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that: 
 1. The Agreement and the Notes have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action and duly executed and delivered by authorized officers of the Company, and are valid obligations of the Company, legally binding upon and enforceable
against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and
(b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and the Notes are entitled to the benefits of the Agreement. 
 2. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 5.13 of the Agreement and of the Purchasers set
forth in Section 6.1 of the Agreement, it is not necessary in connection with the offering, issuance, sale and delivery of the Notes under the circumstances and in the manner contemplated by the Agreement to register the Notes under the
Securities Act or to qualify an indenture in respect of the Notes under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. 
  

 EXHIBIT 4.4(a)(i) 
 (to Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement) 

 3. The extension, arranging and obtaining of the credit represented by the Notes do not result in any
violation of regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. 
 4. The execution and delivery of the Agreement
and the Notes, the offering, issuance and sale of the Notes and fulfillment of and compliance with the respective provisions of the Agreement and the Notes do not conflict with, or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or
constitute a default under, or result in any violation of, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company pursuant to, or require any authorization, consent, approval, exemption, or other action by or
notice to or filing with any court, administrative or governmental body or other Person (other than routine filings as may be required after the date hereof with the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or state Blue Sky authorities or securities
commissions) pursuant to, (i) the charter or by-laws of the Company or (ii) any applicable law (including any securities or Blue Sky law), statute, rule or regulation of the State of New York, the State of Texas, the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware, or the federal laws of the United States to which the Company is subject. 
 The foregoing opinions are subject
to the following additional qualifications, limitations, exceptions and assumptions: 
 (A) Our opinion with respect to the
enforceability of the Agreement and the Notes is further subject to the qualification that no opinion is given as to the enforceability of (a) any severability or indemnity provisions contained in the Agreement and the Notes and instruments
described in such documents, (b) provisions of such documents and instruments to the effect that failure to exercise or delay in exercising rights or remedies will not operate as a waiver of such rights or remedies, (c) any provision of
the Agreement and the Notes purporting to waive rights to notice (other than the waiver of notice of intention to accelerate the Notes), or to waive any other benefit which cannot, as a matter of law, be effectively waived, and (d) provisions
that would be interpreted as penalties under applicable law. 
 (B) We express no opinion as to the various state and federal
laws regulating you, any lender, banks or insurance companies or the conduct of their business that may relate to the Agreement and the Notes and the transactions contemplated thereby. 
 The foregoing opinions are limited in all respects to the existing laws of the State of Texas, the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware and federal laws of the United States, each as in effect on the date hereof and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matters governed by the laws of any other jurisdiction. We undertake no obligation or responsibility to update
or supplement our opinions set forth herein in response to subsequent changes in the law or future events affecting any transaction contemplated by any Transaction Document. 
 A copy of this letter may be delivered by you or any Transferee to any Person to which you or such Transferee sells or offers to sell any Note or a
participation in any Note, and such Person may rely upon this letter as if it were addressed and had been delivered to such Person on

Section 4.4(A)(ii) of the Agreement, without our prior written consent. 
 Very truly yours,
