 Exhibit 10.26 
  
 ENERGY TRANSFER EQUITY, L.P. 
 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is effective                         , 2006, between Energy Transfer
Equity L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “MLP”), LE GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and the undersigned [director/officer] of the Company (“Indemnitee”). 
  
 WHEREAS, the MLP Partnership Agreement (as defined below) provides for
indemnification of each officer and director of the Company and the MLP, as well as persons serving in various other capacities, to the maximum extent permitted by the Partnership Statute (as defined below); 
  
 WHEREAS, the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to the MLP
Partnership Agreement; 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company LLC Agreement (as
defined below) provides indemnification of each director and officer of the Company, as well as persons serving in other capacities, to the maximum extent authorized by the LLC Statute (as defined below); and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to the
Company LLC Agreement; 
  
 WHEREAS, each of the Company LLC
Agreement, the MLP Partnership Agreement, the LLC Statute and the Partnership Statute contemplate that contracts and insurance policies may be entered into with respect to indemnification of directors, officers and certain other persons; and

  
 WHEREAS, there are questions concerning the adequacy and
reliability of the protection which might be afforded to directors and officers from the acquisition of policies of directors and officers liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) that cover certain liabilities which might be incurred by
directors in the performance of their services to the MLP and/or the Company; and 
  
 WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for each of the MLP and the Company to obligate itself contractually to indemnify Indemnitee so that he will serve or continue to serve the MLP and the Company free
from undue concern that he will not be adequately protected; 
  
 WHEREAS, Indemnitee is willing to serve for or on behalf of the MLP and/or the Company on condition that he be so indemnified; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that it is in the best interests of each of the Company and the MLP
that the parties hereto enter into this Agreement. 
  
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the MLP, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows: 
  
 1. Definitions. As used in this Agreement: 

 (a) The term “Proceeding” shall include any threatened, pending or completed action, suit,
inquiry or proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of the MLP or the Company or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative nature, in which Indemnitee is or will be involved as a party, as a
witness or otherwise, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or agent of the MLP or the Company, by reason of any action taken by him or of any inaction on his part while acting as a director or agent or by reason of the fact
that he is or was serving at the request of the MLP or the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability company or other enterprise; in each case whether or not he is
acting or serving in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification or reimbursement can be provided under this Agreement; provided that any such action, suit or proceeding that is brought by Indemnitee
against the MLP or the Company or directors or officers of the MLP or the Company, other than an action brought by Indemnitee to enforce his rights under this Agreement, shall not be deemed a Proceeding without prior approval by a majority of the
Board of Directors of the Company. 
  
 (b) The term
“Expenses” shall include, without limitation, any judgments, fines and penalties against Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding; amounts paid by Indemnitee in settlement of a Proceeding; and all attorneys’ fees and disbursements,
accountants’ fees, private investigation fees and disbursements, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, fees and expenses of witnesses, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges,
postage, delivery service fees, and all other disbursements, or expenses, reasonably incurred by or for Indemnitee in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, being or preparing to be a witness in a
Proceeding or establishing Indemnitee’s right of entitlement to indemnification for any of the foregoing. 
  
 (c) References to “other enterprise” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “Fines” shall include any excise tax assessed
with respect to any employee benefit plan; references to “serving at the request of the MLP or the Company” shall include any service as a director or agent of the MLP or the Company that imposes duties on, or involves services by, such
director or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries. 
  
 (d) The term “substantiating documentation” shall mean copies of bills or invoices for costs incurred by or for Indemnitee, or copies of court or agency orders or decrees or settlement agreements, as the
case may be, accompanied by a sworn statement from Indemnitee that such bills, invoices, court or agency orders or decrees or settlement agreements, represent costs or liabilities meeting the definition of “Expenses” herein. 
  
 (e) The term “MLP Partnership Agreement” means the Third Amended
and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the MLP, dated as of
                                , 2006, as amended or restated from time to time.

  
 (f) The term “Company LLC Agreement” means the
Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company, dated as of
                                    , 2006, as amended or
restated from time to time. 
  
 (g) The term “LLC
Statute” means the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act. 
  

 2 

 (h) The term “Partnership Statute” means the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act.

  
 (i) The term “Board of Directors” means the Board of
Directors of the Company. 
  
 (j) The terms “he” and
“his” have been used for convenience and mean “she” and “her” if Indemnitee is a female. 
  
 2. Indemnity of Indemnitee. Each of the MLP and the Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee against Expenses to the fullest
extent authorized or permitted by law (including the applicable provisions of the Partnership Statute and the LLC Statute). The phrase “to the fullest extent permitted by law” shall include, but not be limited to (i) to the fullest
extent permitted by any provision of the Partnership Statute and the LLC Statute that authorizes or permits additional indemnification by agreement, or the corresponding provision of any amendment to or replacement of the Partnership Statute and the
LLC Statute and (ii) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by any amendments to or replacements of the Partnership Statute and the LLC Statute adopted after the date of this Agreement that increase the extent to which a limited
liability company may indemnify its directors. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of the Partnership Statute and the LLC Statute that adversely affects any right of Indemnitee shall be prospective only and shall not limit or eliminate any such
right with respect to any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment or repeal. 
  
 3. Additional Indemnity. Each of the MLP and the Company hereby further agrees to hold harmless and indemnify
Indemnitee against Expenses incurred by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or agent of the MLP or the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the MLP or the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability company or other enterprise, including, without limitation, any predecessor, subsidiary or affiliated entity of the MLP or the Company, provided that the Indemnitee shall not
be indemnified and held harmless if there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for which the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification pursuant to this
Agreement, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding
by judgment, order of the court, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence,
or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. 
  
 4. Choice of Counsel. If Indemnitee is a director of the Company but not an officer of the Company, he, together with the other directors of the
Company who are not officers of the Company (the “Outside Directors”), shall be entitled to employ, and be reimbursed for the fees and disbursements of, counsel separate from that chosen by persons who are parties to similar
indemnification agreements with the MLP and the Company who are not Outside Directors (the “Inside Indemnitees”). The principal counsel for Outside Directors (“Principal Counsel”) shall be determined by majority vote of the
Outside Directors, and the principal counsel for the Inside 

  

 3 

 
Indemnitees (“Separate Counsel”) shall be determined by majority vote of such Inside Indemnitees. The obligation of the MLP and the Company to
reimburse Indemnitee for the fees and disbursements of counsel hereunder shall not extend to the fees and disbursements of any counsel employed by Indemnitee other than Principal Counsel or Separate Counsel, as the case may be, unless, in the
opinion of other counsel for Indemnitee, concurred in by Principal Counsel or Separate Counsel, as the case may be, Indemnitee may have defenses available to him that are in addition to or different from those of the other Indemnitees such that
there is a substantial possibility that Principal Counsel of Separate Counsel, as the case may be, will have a conflict of interest in representing Indemnitee. 
  

5. Advances of Expenses. The MLP and the Company shall be obligated to pay Expenses (other than judgments, penalties, fines and settlements)
incurred by Indemnitee, in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding, within 10 days after receipt of Indemnitee’s written request accompanied by substantiating documentation and Indemnitee’s written affirmation that he has met
the standard of conduct for indemnification and a written undertaking to repay such amount to the extent it is ultimately determined that indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification. No objections based on or involving the question whether such
charges meet the definition of “Expenses,” including any question regarding the reasonableness of such Expenses, shall be grounds for failure to advance to such Indemnitee, or to reimburse such Indemnitee for, the amount claimed within
such 10-day period, and the undertaking of Indemnitee set forth in Section 7 hereof to repay any such amount to the extent it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification shall be deemed to include an undertaking
to repay any such amounts determined not to have met such definition. 
  
 6. Right of Indemnitee to Indemnification Upon Application; Procedure Upon Application. Any indemnification payment under this Agreement, other than pursuant to Section 5 hereof, shall be made no later than 45 days after receipt
by the MLP and the Company of the written request of Indemnitee, accompanied by substantiating documentation, unless a determination is made within said 45-day period by (1) the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of
directors who are not or were not parties to such Proceeding, (2) by a committee of the Board of Directors designated by majority vote of the Board of Directors, even though less than a quorum, (3) if there are no such directors, or if
such directors so direct, independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (4) by the stockholders, that Indemnitee has not met the relevant standards for indemnification set forth in Section 3 hereof. 
  
 The right to indemnification or advances as provided by this Agreement shall
be enforceable by Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction. The burden of proving that indemnification is not appropriate shall be on the MLP and the Company. Neither the failure of the MLP or the Company (including the Board of Directors,
any committee thereof, any independent legal counsel or any equity owner thereof) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable
standards of conduct, nor an actual determination by the MLP or the Company (including the Board of Directors, any committee thereof, any independent legal counsel or any equity owner thereof) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of
conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. 
  

 4 

 7. Undertaking by Indemnitee. Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay to the MLP and the Company any
advances of Expenses pursuant to Section 5 hereof to the extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification. 
  
 8. Joint and Several Liability; No Duplicative Payments. The obligations of the MLP and the Company to make payments pursuant to this Agreement
shall be joint and several; provided, however that in no event shall Indemnitee be entitled to receive duplicative payment from the MLP and the Company for any amount payable hereunder and, in the event that Indemnitee receives any duplicative
payment, Indemnitee shall promptly notify each of the MLP and the Company of any such duplicative payment and shall return any such duplicative payment to the MLP or the Company as directed in writing by the MLP and the Company. 
  
 9. Indemnification Hereunder Not Exclusive. The indemnification and
advancement of expenses provided by this Agreement shall not deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the MLP Partnership Agreement, the Company LLC Agreement, the Partnership Statute, the LLC Statute, any
D&O Insurance, any other agreement, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. However, Indemnitee shall reimburse the MLP and the Company for amounts paid to him
pursuant to such other rights to the extent such payments duplicate any payments received pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 10. Continuation of Indemnity. All agreements and obligations of the MLP and the Company contained herein shall continue during the period
Indemnitee is a director or officer of the MLP or the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the MLP or the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability
company or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible Proceeding. 
  
 11. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the MLP or the Company for some
or a portion of Expenses, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the MLP and the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses to which Indemnitee is entitled. 
  
 12. Settlement of Claims. None of the MLP or the Company shall be
liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without the written consent of the MLP and the Company. None of the MLP or the Company shall settle any Proceeding in any manner which
would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent. None of the MLP or the Company nor Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold their consent to any proposed settlement. None of the MLP or the Company shall
be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement with regard to any judicial award if the MLP and the Company were not given a reasonable and timely opportunity, at their expense, to participate in the defense of such action. 
  
 13. Enforcement. 
  
 (a) Each of the MLP and the Company expressly confirms and agrees that it
has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce 

  

 5 

 
Indemnitee to serve as a director or officer of the MLP or the Company or in some other representative capacity on behalf of the MLP or the Company, and
acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in continuing to serve in such capacity. 
  
 (b) In the event Indemnitee is required to bring any action or other proceeding to enforce rights or to collect money due under this Agreement and is
successful in such action, the MLP and the Company shall reimburse Indemnitee for all of Indemnitee’s Expenses in bringing and pursuing such action. 
  
 14. Governing Law; Binding Effect; Amendment and Termination. (a) This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of
the State of Delaware. 
  
 (b) This Agreement shall be binding
upon the MLP and the Company, their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee, his heirs, personal representatives and assigns and to the benefit of the MLP and the Company, their respective successors and
assigns. 
  
 (c) No amendment, modification, termination or
cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by the MLP, the Company and Indemnitee. 
  
 15. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable (a) the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be in any way affected or impaired thereby, and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this 
 Agreement shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable. Each section of this Agreement is a separate and independent portion of this
Agreement. If the indemnification to which Indemnitee is entitled as respects any aspect of any claim varies between two or more sections of this Agreement, that section providing the most comprehensive indemnification shall apply. 
  
 16. Notice. Notice to any of the MLP or the Company shall be directed
to Energy Transfer Equity, L.P., 2828 Woodside Street, Dallas, Texas 75204, Attention: President. Notice to Indemnitee shall be directed to the address set forth under his signature hereto. The foregoing addresses may be changed from time to time by
the addressee upon notice to the other parties. 
  
 Notice shall
be deemed received three days after the date postmarked if sent by prepaid mail, properly addressed.

 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 ARTICLE II. 
 THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS 
  
 2.01 Revolving Credit Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans (“Revolving Credit Loans”) to the Borrower upon the Borrower’s
request from time to time during the Commitment Period, provided that (a) subject to Sections 3.03, 3.04 and 3.06, all Lenders are requested to make Revolving Credit Loans of the same Type in accordance with their respective
Applicable Percentages and as part of the same Borrowing, and (b) after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Loans, the Facility Usage does not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and the Loans of any Lender plus such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of all LC Obligations does not exceed such Lender’s Commitment. The aggregate amount of all Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans in any Borrowing must be equal to $3,000,000 or any higher integral multiple of $1,000,000.
The aggregate amount of all Eurodollar Loans in any Borrowing must be equal to $3,000,000 or any higher integral multiple of $1,000,000. The Borrower may have no more than eight (8) Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans outstanding at any time.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay, and reborrow under this Section 2.01. 
  
 2.02 Swingline Loans. 
  
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time during
the Commitment Period; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans (after giving effect to any amount requested), shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Aggregate Commitments less the sum of
all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and the LC Obligations and (ii) the Swingline Commitment; provided further that the Swingline Lender will not make a Swingline Loan from and after the date which is one (1) day after it has
received written notice from the Borrower or any Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions to Credit Extensions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied until such conditions are satisfied or waived in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement (and the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such notice and shall have no obligation to independently investigate the accuracy of such notice and shall have no liability to the Borrower in
respect thereof if such notice proves to be inaccurate). The aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in any Borrowing shall not be subject to a minimum amount or increment. 
  
 (b) Swingline Loans shall be refunded by the Lenders on demand by the Swingline Lender. Such refundings shall be made by
each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage and shall thereafter be reflected as Loans of the Lenders on the books and records of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall fund its Applicable Percentage of Revolving Credit Loans as
required to repay Swingline Loans outstanding to the Swingline Lender upon demand by the Swingline Lender but in no event later than 1:00 p.m. on the next succeeding Business Day after such demand is made. No Lender’s obligation to fund its
Applicable Percentage of a Swingline Loan shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to fund its Applicable Percentage of a Swingline Loan, nor shall any Lender’s Applicable Percentage be increased as a result of any such failure of
any other Lender to fund its Applicable Percentage of a Swingline Loan. 
  
 (c) The Borrower shall pay to the Swingline Lender the amount of each Swingline Loan (unless such Swingline Loan is fully refunded by the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.02(b)): on demand and in no event later than the Maturity
Date. In addition, the Borrower hereby 

  

 26 

 
authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge any account maintained by the Borrower with the Swingline Lender (up to the amount available therein) in order
to immediately pay the Swingline Lender the amount of such Swingline Loans. If any portion of any such amount paid to the Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy or otherwise, the
loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (unless the amounts so recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower pertain to a Swingline Loan extended after the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default of which the Administrative Agent has received notice in the manner required pursuant to Section 10.02 and which such Event of Default has not been waived by the Majority Lenders or the
Lenders, as applicable). 
  
 (d) Each Lender acknowledges and
agrees that its obligation to refund Swingline Loans in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.02 is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation,
non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article IV. Further, each Lender agrees and acknowledges that if prior to the refunding of any outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.02, one of the events described
in subsections (j)(i), (j)(ii) or (j)(iii) of Section 8.01 shall have occurred, each Lender will, on the date the applicable Revolving Credit Loan would have been made, purchase an undivided, irrevocable and unconditional
participating interest in the Swingline Loans to be refunded in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount of such Swingline Loans. Each Lender will immediately transfer to the Swingline Lender, in immediately available
funds, the amount of its participation, and upon receipt thereof, the Swingline Lender will deliver to such Lender a certificate evidencing such participation dated the date of receipt of such funds and for such amount. Whenever, at any time after
the Swingline Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s participating interest in a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its participating
interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.02(d), a Lender shall have no obligation to refund a Swingline Loan pursuant to Section 2.02(b) if (i) a Default shall exist at the time such refunding is requested by the Swingline Lender, (ii) such
Default had occurred and was continuing at the time such Swingline Loan was made by the Swingline Lender and (ii) such Lender notified the Swingline Lender in writing, not less than one Business Day prior to the making by the Swingline Lender
of such Swingline Loan, that such Default has occurred and is continuing and that such Lender will not refund Swingline Loans made while such Default is continuing. 
  
 2.03 Requests for New Loans. The Borrower must give to the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice
promptly confirmed in writing) of any requested Borrowing of Loans to be funded by Lenders, except in the case of Swingline Loans under a cash management arrangement as provided below. Each such notice constitutes a “Loan Notice” hereunder
and must: 
  
 (a) specify (i) the aggregate amount of any
such Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and the date on which such Base Rate Loans are to be advanced, (ii) the aggregate amount of any such Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the date on which such Eurodollar Loans are to be 

  

 27 

 
advanced (which shall be the first day of the Interest Period which is to apply thereto), and the length of the applicable Interest Period, or (iii) the
aggregate amount of any such Borrowing of Swingline Loans and the date on which such Swingline Loans are to be advanced; and 
  
 (b) be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on (i) the day on which any such Base Rate Loans or Swingline Loans are to be
made, or (ii) the third Business Day preceding the day on which any such Eurodollar Loans are to be made. 
  
 Each such written request or confirmation must be made in the form and substance of the Loan Notice, duly completed. Each such telephonic request shall be
deemed a representation, warranty, acknowledgment and agreement by the Borrower as to the matters which are required to be set out in such written confirmation. Upon receipt of any such Loan Notice requesting Revolving Credit Loans, the
Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of the terms thereof. Upon receipt of any such Loan Notice requesting Swingline Loans, the Administrative Agent shall give the Swingline Lender prompt notice of the terms thereof. In the case
of Revolving Credit Loans, if all conditions precedent to such new Loans have been met, each Lender will on the date requested promptly remit to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office the amount of such Lender’s Loan
in immediately available funds, and upon receipt of such funds, unless to its actual knowledge any conditions precedent to such Loans have been neither met nor waived as provided herein, the Administrative Agent shall promptly make such Loans
available to the Borrower. In the case of Swingline Loans, if all conditions precedent to such new Loans have been met, the Swingline Lender will on the date requested promptly remit to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s
Office the amount of such Swingline Loan in immediately available funds, and upon receipt of such funds, unless to its actual knowledge any conditions precedent to such Swingline Loan have been neither met nor waived as provided herein, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly make such Loans available to the Borrower. Revolving Credit Loans to be made for the purpose of refunding Swingline Loans shall be made by the Lenders as provided in Section 2.02(b). The Borrower may
maintain with the Swingline Lender operating accounts with a cash management arrangement for the automatic funding and repayment of Swingline Loans according to cash needs or excess cash existing in the operating accounts at the end of each Business
Day. No request to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower is required for the funding or repayment of Swingline Loans in connection with such arrangement; provided, however, the Borrower must notify the Swingline Lender and the Administrative
Agent immediately on any Business Day if one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied and instruct the Swingline Lender not to fund Swingline Loans under such arrangement until the Borrower has
notified the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent that all applicable conditions specified in Article IV are satisfied. 
  
 2.04 Continuations and Conversions of Existing Loans. The Borrower may make the following elections with respect to Revolving Credit Loans already
outstanding: to Convert, in whole or in part, Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans, to Convert, in whole or in part, Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and to Continue, in whole or in part,
Eurodollar Loans beyond the expiration of such Interest Period by designating a new Interest Period to take effect at the time of such expiration. In making such elections, the Borrower may combine existing Revolving Credit Loans made 

  

 28 

 
pursuant to separate Borrowings into one new Borrowing or divide existing Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to one Borrowing into separate new Borrowings,
provided, that (i) the Borrower may have no more than eight (8) Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans outstanding at any time, (ii) the aggregate amount of all Base Rate Loans in any Borrowing must be equal to $1,000,000 or any
higher integral multiple of $500,000, and (iii) the aggregate amount of all Eurodollar Loans in any Borrowing must be equal to $3,000,000 or any higher integral multiple of $1,000,000. To make any such election, the Borrower must give to the
Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of any such Conversion or Continuation of existing Loans, with a separate notice given for each new Borrowing. Each such notice must: 
  
 (a) specify the existing Loans which are to be Continued or Converted;

  
 (b) specify (i) the aggregate amount of any Borrowing of
Base Rate Loans into which such existing Loans are to be Continued or Converted and the date on which such Continuation or Conversion is to occur, or (ii) the aggregate amount of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans into which such existing Loans
are to be Continued or Converted, the date on which such Continuation or Conversion is to occur (which shall be the first day of the Interest Period which is to apply to such Eurodollar Loans), and the length of the applicable Interest Period; and

  
 (c) be received by the Administrative Agent not later than
11:00 a.m. on (i) the day on which any such Conversion to Base Rate Loans is to occur, or (ii) the third Business Day preceding the day on which any such Continuation or Conversion to Eurodollar Loans is to occur. 
  
 Each such written request or confirmation must be made in the form and
substance of the Loan Notice, duly completed. Each such telephonic request shall be deemed a representation, warranty, acknowledgment and agreement by the Borrower as to the matters which are required to be set out in such written confirmation. Upon
receipt of any such Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of the terms thereof. Each Loan Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. During the continuance of any Default, the Borrower may not make
any election to Convert existing Loans into Eurodollar Loans or Continue existing Loans as Eurodollar Loans beyond the expiration of their respective and corresponding Interest Period then in effect. If (due to the existence of a Default or for any
other reason) the Borrower fails to timely and properly give any Loan Notice with respect to a Borrowing of existing Eurodollar Loans at least three days prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, such Eurodollar Loans, to the
extent not prepaid at the end of such Interest Period, shall automatically be Converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of such Interest Period. No new funds shall be repaid by the Borrower or advanced by any Lender in connection with any
Continuation or Conversion of existing Loans pursuant to this Section, and no such Continuation or Conversion shall be deemed to be a new advance of funds for any purpose; such Continuations and Conversions merely constitute a change in the interest
rate, Interest Period or Type applicable to already outstanding Loans. 
  
 2.05 Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of all Loans (a) to refinance indebtedness of the Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement, (b) for general 

  

 29 

 
business purposes of the Borrower including, without limitation, working capital, purchases of equity securities, including ETP partnership units, and other
permitted purchases and acquisitions and (c) to pay fees and expenses in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Letters of Credit shall be used for general business purposes of the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation of, or is inconsistent with, any of the Regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,
including Regulations T, U and X. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) the Borrower represents and warrants that the Borrower is not engaged principally, or as one of the Borrower’s important activities, in the business of extending credit
to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock, and (ii) no proceeds of any Credit Extension shall be used to purchase or carry margin stock (as those terms are used in such Regulations T, U and X), including ETP partnership
units, unless the Borrower and the Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the approval of the Lenders) shall have executed an appropriate Form U-1 and otherwise have determined that such Credit Extension is not in violation of such regulations.

  
 2.06 Prepayments of Loans. 
  
 (a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower may, upon three Business
Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable, and the Administrative Agent will promptly give notice to the other Lenders), from time to time and without premium or penalty (other than Eurodollar Loan breakage
costs, if any, pursuant to Section 3.05) prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, so long as the aggregate amounts of all partial prepayments of principal on the Loans equals $3,000,000 or any higher integral multiple of $1,000,000. Each
prepayment of principal under this Section shall be accompanied by all interest then accrued and unpaid on the principal so prepaid. Any principal or interest prepaid pursuant to this Section shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all payments
otherwise required to be paid under the Loan Documents at the time of such prepayment 
  
 (b) Prepayment upon Asset Sales. In the event that the Leverage Ratio exceeds 4.00 to 1.00, no later than the third Business Day following the date of receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any
Net Asset Sale Proceeds (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Net Asset Sale Proceeds received by the Borrower from any Asset Sale of Equity Interests of its Subsidiaries or in Equity Interests of ETP), the Borrower shall prepay, without premium
or penalty, the Loans with 50% of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds until such time as the Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00. 
  
 (c) Prepayment Certificate. Concurrently with any prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(b), the Borrower shall deliver to
Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the applicable Net Asset Sale Proceeds. In the event that the Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual amount received exceeded
the amount set forth in such certificate, the Borrower shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to such excess, and the Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate of an
Responsible Officer demonstrating the derivation of such excess. 
  

 30 

 (d) Application of Prepayments. Any prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.05 shall be applied to reduce the principal on the Loan and shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount
of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.05. 
  
 2.07 Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, during the Commitment Period the Borrower may request LC Issuer to issue, amend, or extend the expiration date of, one or more Letters of
Credit for the account of the Borrower or any or its Restricted Subsidiaries, provided that: 
  
 (a) after taking such Letter of Credit into account (i) the aggregate amount of all outstanding LC Obligations does not exceed $100,000,000 and
(ii) the Facility Usage does not exceed the Aggregate Commitments at such time; 
  
 (b) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit is prior to the earlier of (i) 365 days after the issuance thereof, provided that such Letter of Credit may provide for automatic extensions of such
expiration date (such Letter of Credit an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”) for additional periods of 365 days thereafter, and (ii) five Business Days prior to the end of the Commitment Period; 
  
 (c) the issuance of such Letter of Credit will be in compliance with all
applicable governmental restrictions, policies, and guidelines and will not subject LC Issuer to any cost which is not reimbursable under Article III; 
  
 (d) such Letter of Credit is in form and upon terms as shall be acceptable to LC Issuer in its sole and absolute discretion; and 
  
 (e) all other conditions in this Agreement to the issuance of such Letter of
Credit have been satisfied. 
  
 LC Issuer will honor any such request if the
foregoing conditions (a) through (e) (in the following Section 2.08 called the “LC Conditions”) have been met as of the date of issuance, amendment, or extension of such Letter of Credit. 
  
 2.08 Requesting Letters of Credit. The Borrower must make written
application for any Letter of Credit at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed upon by the LC Issuer) before the date on which the Borrower desires for LC Issuer to issue such Letter of Credit. By making any such written
application, unless otherwise expressly stated therein, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that the LC Conditions described in Section 2.07 will be met as of the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each
such written application for a Letter of Credit must be made in the form of the Letter of Credit Application. If all LC Conditions for a Letter of Credit have been met as described in Section 2.07 on any Business Day before 11:00 a.m.,
LC Issuer will issue such Letter of Credit on the same Business Day at LC Issuer’s Lending Office. If the LC Conditions are met as described in Section 2.07 on any Business Day on or after 11:00 a.m., LC Issuer will issue such

  

 31 

 
Letter of Credit on the next succeeding Business Day at LC Issuer’s Lending Office. If any provisions of any LC Application conflict with any provisions
of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any extension of an Auto-Extension Letter
of Credit. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than
five Business Days prior to the end of the Commitment Period; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of
Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof, or (B) it has received notice from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days
before the last day in which notice of non-extension for such Letter of Credit may be given that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such
extension. 
  
 2.09 Reimbursement and Participations.

  
 (a) Reimbursement. Each Matured LC Obligation shall
constitute a loan by LC Issuer to the Borrower. The Borrower promises to pay to LC Issuer, or to LC Issuer’s order, on demand, the full amount of each Matured LC Obligation together with interest thereon (i) at the Base Rate plus the
Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans to and including the second Business Day after the Matured LC Obligation is incurred, subject to Section 2.09(b), and (ii) at the Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Loans on each day
thereafter. 
  
 (b) Letter of Credit Advances. If the
beneficiary of any Letter of Credit makes a draft or other demand for payment thereunder, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested the Lenders make Loans to the Borrower in the amount of such draft or demand, which Loans shall be made
concurrently with LC Issuer’s payment of such draft or demand and shall be immediately used by LC Issuer to repay the amount of the resulting Matured LC Obligation. Such deemed request by the Borrower shall be made in compliance with all of the
provisions hereof, provided that for the purposes of the first sentence of Section 2.01, the amount of such Loans shall be considered, but the amount of the Matured LC Obligation to be concurrently paid by such Loans shall not be
considered. 
  
 (c) Participation by Lenders. LC Issuer
irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each Lender, and – to induce LC Issuer to issue Letters of Credit hereunder – each Lender irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from LC Issuer, on the
terms and conditions hereinafter stated and for such Lender’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of LC Issuer’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued hereunder
and the amount of each Matured LC Obligation paid by LC Issuer thereunder. Each Lender unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with LC Issuer that, if a Matured LC Obligation is paid under any Letter of Credit for which LC Issuer is not reimbursed in
full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the related LC Application (including any reimbursement by means of concurrent Loans or by the application of LC Collateral), such Lender shall (in all circumstances and without
set-off 

  

 32 

 
or counterclaim) pay to LC Issuer on demand, in immediately available funds at LC Issuer’s Lending Office, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of
such Matured LC Obligation (or any portion thereof which has not been reimbursed by the Borrower). Each Lender’s obligation to pay LC Issuer pursuant to the terms of this subsection is irrevocable and unconditional. If any amount required to be
paid by any Lender to LC Issuer pursuant to this subsection is paid by such Lender to LC Issuer within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, LC Issuer shall in addition to such amount be entitled to recover from such Lender, on
demand, interest thereon calculated from such due date at the Federal Funds Rate. If any amount required to be paid by any Lender to LC Issuer pursuant to this subsection is not paid by such Lender to LC Issuer within three Business Days after the
date such payment is due, LC Issuer shall in addition to such amount be entitled to recover from such Lender, on demand, interest thereon calculated from such due date at the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin. 
  
 (d) Distributions to Participants. Whenever LC Issuer has in
accordance with this Section received from any Lender payment of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Matured LC Obligation, if LC Issuer thereafter receives any payment of such Matured LC Obligation or any payment of interest thereon
(whether directly from the Borrower or by application of LC Collateral or otherwise, and excluding only interest for any period prior to LC Issuer’s demand that such Lender make such payment of its Applicable Percentage), LC Issuer will
distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage of the amounts so received by LC Issuer; provided, however, that if any such payment received by LC Issuer must thereafter be returned by LC Issuer, such Lender shall return to LC
Issuer the portion thereof which LC Issuer has previously distributed to it. 
  
 (e) Calculations. A written advice setting forth in reasonable detail the amounts owing under this Section, submitted by LC Issuer to the Borrower or any Lender from time to time, shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error, as to the amounts thereof. 
  
 (f) Obligations
Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse Matured LC Obligations shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances
whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be
forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or
provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the LC Issuer, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection
with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in
transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence 

  

 33 

 
arising from causes beyond the control of the LC Issuer; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the LC Issuer from liability to
the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the LC
Issuer’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of the LC Issuer (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the LC Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the
generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the LC Issuer may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make
payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the
terms of such Letter of Credit. 
  
 2.10 No Duty to
Inquire. 
  
 (a) Drafts and Demands. LC Issuer is
authorized and instructed to accept and pay drafts and demands for payment under any Letter of Credit without requiring, and without responsibility for, any determination as to the existence of any event giving rise to said draft, either at the time
of acceptance or payment or thereafter. LC Issuer is under no duty to determine the proper identity of anyone presenting such a draft or making such a demand (whether by tested telex or otherwise) as the officer, representative or agent of any
beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, and payment by LC Issuer to any such beneficiary when requested by any such purported officer, representative or agent is hereby authorized and approved. The Borrower releases LC Issuer and each Lender from,
and agrees to hold LC Issuer and each Lender harmless and indemnified against, any liability or claim in connection with or arising out of the subject matter of this Section, which indemnity shall apply whether or not any such liability or claim is
in any way or to any extent caused, in whole or in part, by any negligent act or omission of any kind by LC Issuer or any Lender, provided only that neither LC Issuer nor any Lender shall be entitled to indemnification for that portion, if any, of
any liability or claim which is proximately caused by its own individual gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a final judgment. 
  
 (b) Extension of Maturity. If the maturity of any Letter of Credit is extended by its terms or by Law or governmental action, if any extension of
the maturity or time for presentation of drafts or any other modification of the terms of any Letter of Credit is made at the request of the Borrower, or if the amount of any Letter of Credit is increased or decreased at the request of the Borrower,
this Agreement shall be binding upon all Restricted Persons with respect to such Letter of Credit as so extended, increased, decreased or otherwise modified, with respect to drafts and property covered thereby, and with respect to any action taken
by LC Issuer, LC Issuer’s correspondents, or any Lender in accordance with such extension, increase, decrease or other modification. 
  

 34 

 (c) Transferees of Letters of Credit. If any Letter of Credit provides that it is transferable, LC
Issuer shall have no duty to determine the proper identity of anyone appearing as transferee of such Letter of Credit, nor shall LC Issuer be charged with responsibility of any nature or character for the validity or correctness of any transfer or
successive transfers, and payment by LC Issuer to any purported transferee or transferees as determined by LC Issuer is hereby authorized and approved, and the Borrower releases LC Issuer and each Lender from, and agrees to hold LC Issuer and each
Lender harmless and indemnified against, any liability or claim in connection with or arising out of the foregoing, which indemnity shall apply whether or not any such liability or claim is in any way or to any extent caused, in whole or in part, by
any negligent act or omission of any kind by LC Issuer or any Lender, provided only that neither LC Issuer nor any Lender shall be entitled to indemnification for that portion, if any, of any liability or claim which is proximately caused by its own
individual gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a final judgment. 
  
 2.11 LC Collateral. 
  
 (a)
Acceleration of LC Obligations. If the Obligations or any part thereof become immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 8.02 then, unless the Administrative Agent, acting on the instruction of Majority Lenders, shall
otherwise specifically elect to the contrary (which election may thereafter be retracted by the Administrative Agent, acting on the instruction of Majority Lenders, at any time), the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to LC Issuer immediately an
amount equal to the aggregate LC Obligations which are then outstanding to be held as LC Collateral. Nothing in this subsection shall, however, limit or impair any rights which LC Issuer may have under any other document or agreement relating to any
Letter of Credit, LC Collateral or LC Obligation, including any LC Application, or any rights which LC Issuer or any Lender may have to otherwise apply any payments by the Borrower and any LC Collateral under Section 2.14. 
  
 (b) Investment of LC Collateral. Pending application thereof, all LC
Collateral shall be invested by LC Issuer in such Cash Equivalents as LC Issuer may choose in its sole discretion. All interest on (and other proceeds of) such Investments shall be reinvested or applied to Matured LC Obligations or other Obligations
which are due and payable. When all Obligations have been satisfied in full, including all LC Obligations, all Letters of Credit have expired or been terminated, and all of the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations in connection therewith have
been satisfied in full, LC Issuer shall release to the Borrower any remaining LC Collateral. The Borrower hereby assigns and grants to LC Issuer for the benefit of Lenders a continuing security interest in all LC Collateral paid by it to LC Issuer,
all Investments purchased with such LC Collateral, and all proceeds thereof to secure its Matured LC Obligations and its Obligations under this Agreement, each Note, and the other Loan Documents. The Borrower further agrees that LC Issuer shall have
all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC with respect to such security interest and that an Event of Default under this Agreement shall constitute a default for purposes of such security interest. 
  
 (c) Payment of LC Collateral. If the Borrower is required to provide
LC Collateral for any reason but fails to do so as required, LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent may without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Restricted Person provide such LC Collateral (whether 

  

 35 

 
by transfers from other accounts maintained with LC Issuer, or otherwise) using any available funds of the Borrower or any other Person also liable to make
such payments, and LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to the Borrower promptly after such application or transfer. Any such amounts which are required to be provided as LC Collateral and which are not provided on the date
required shall be considered past due Obligations owing hereunder. 
  
 2.12 Interest Rates and Fees. 
  
 (a) Interest
Rates. Unless the Default Rate shall apply, (i) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on each day outstanding at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans in effect on such day, (ii) each Eurodollar Loan shall bear
interest on each day during the related Interest Period at the related Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Loans in effect on such day, and (iii) each Swingline Loan shall bear interest on each day outstanding at the LIBOR
Reference Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Loans in effect on such day. During a Default Rate Period, all Loans and other Obligations shall bear interest on each day outstanding at the applicable Default Rate. The interest rate shall
change whenever the applicable Base Rate, the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans, the Eurodollar Rate, the LIBOR Reference Rate or the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Loans changes. In no event shall the interest rate on any Loan exceed the Maximum
Rate. 
  
 (b) Commitment Fees. In consideration of each
Lender’s commitment to make Loans, the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee determined on a daily basis equal to the Applicable Rate for commitment fees in effect on such day times such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the unused portion of the Aggregate Commitments on each day during the Commitment Period, determined for each such day by deducting from the amount of the Aggregate Commitments at the end of such day the
Facility Usage. For the purposes of calculating the commitment fee pursuant to this subsection (b), the aggregate amount of outstanding Swingline Loans shall not be included in the term Facility Usage. This commitment fee shall be due and payable in
arrears on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter and at the end of the Commitment Period. 
  
 (c) Letter of Credit Fees. In consideration of LC Issuer’s issuance of any Letter of Credit, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of all Lenders in accordance with their
respective Applicable Percentages, a letter of credit fee equal to the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Loans then in effect (or the Default Rate during the Default Rate Period) applicable each day times the face amount of such Letter of Credit. Such
fee will be calculated on the face amount of each Letter of Credit outstanding on each day at the above applicable rates and will be payable in arrears on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter. In addition, the Borrower will pay a minimum
administrative issuance fee equal to the greater of $150 or one-eighth percent (0.125%) per annum of the face amount of each Letter of Credit and such other fees and charges customarily charged by the LC Issuer in respect of any issuance, amendment
or negotiation of any Letter of Credit in accordance with the LC Issuer’s published schedule of such charges effective as of the date of such amendment or negotiation; such fees will be payable in arrears on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter.

  

 36 

 (d) Administrative Agent’s Fees. In addition to all other amounts due to the Administrative
Agent under the Loan Documents, the Borrower will pay fees to the Administrative Agent as described in the Fee Letter. 
  
 (e) Calculations and Determinations. All calculations of interest chargeable with respect to the Eurodollar Rate and of fees shall be made on the
basis of actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last) and a year of 360 days. All calculations under the Loan Documents of interest chargeable with respect to the Base Rate shall be made on the basis of actual days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last) and a year of 365 or 366 days, as appropriate. 
  
 (f) Past Due Obligations. The Borrower hereby promises to each Lender to pay interest at the Default Rate on all Obligations (including Obligations
to pay fees or to reimburse or indemnify any Lender) which the Borrower has in this Agreement promised to pay to such Lender and which are not paid when due. Such interest shall accrue from the date such Obligations become due until they are paid.

  
 2.13 Evidence of Debt.
  
 (a) Credit Extensions. The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall
be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent
manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the
Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters,
the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans
and payments with respect thereto. 
  
 (b) Letters of
Credit. In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of
participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. 
  

 37 

 2.14 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. 
  
 (a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be
made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made (i) with respect to Revolving Credit Loans, to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, and (ii) with respect to Swingline Loans, to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender. Each such payment shall be made at
the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other
applicable share as provided herein) of each such payment with respect to Revolving Credit Loans in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. shall
be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next
following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 
  
 (b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender
prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such
date in accordance with Section 2.03 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including
the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by
the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay
such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the
applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender
that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the LC Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such 

  

 38 

 
date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In
such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the
LC Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and
a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
  
 A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive,
absent manifest error. 
  
 (c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions
Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by
the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as
received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 
  
 (d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The
failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date,
and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c). 
  
 (e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in
any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 
  
 2.15 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, or the participations in LC Obligations held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such
Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and
(b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in LC Obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by
the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that: 
  
 (a) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto
is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and 
  

 39 

 (b) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by the
Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in LC
Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). 
  
 Each Restricted Person consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a
participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Restricted Person rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Restricted Person in the
amount of such participation. 
  
 2.16 Reductions in
Commitment. The Borrower shall have the right from time to time to permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments, provided that (i) notice of such reduction is given not less than two Business Days prior to such reduction,
(ii) the resulting Aggregate Commitments are not less than the Facility Usage, and (iii) each partial reduction shall be in an amount at least equal to $3,000,000 and in multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. 
  
 2.17 Increase in Aggregate Commitments. 
  
 (a) The Borrower shall have the option, without the consent of the Lenders,
from time to time to cause one or more increases in the Aggregate Commitments by adding, subject to the prior approval of the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), to this Agreement one or more financial institutions
as Lenders (collectively, the “New Lenders”) or by allowing one or more Lenders to increase their respective Commitments; provided however that: (i) prior to and after giving effect to the increase, no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing, (ii) no such increase shall cause the Aggregate Commitments to exceed $600,000,000, (iii) no Lender’s Commitment shall be increased without such
Lender’s consent, and (iv) such increase shall be evidenced by a commitment increase agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent and executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, New Lenders, if any, and
Lenders increasing their Commitments, if any, and which shall indicate the amount and allocation of such increase in the Aggregate Commitments and the effective date of such increase (the “Increase Effective Date”). Each financial
institution that becomes a New Lender pursuant to this Section by the execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of the applicable commitment increase agreement shall be a “Lender” for all purposes under this Agreement on the
applicable Increase Effective Date. The Borrower shall borrow and prepay Loans on each Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.06) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans of
each Lender ratable with such Lender’s revised 

  

 40 

 
Applicable Percentage after giving effect to any nonratable increase in the Aggregate Commitments under this Section. 
  
 (b) As a condition precedent to each increase pursuant to subsection
(a) above, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent, the following in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: 
  
 (i) a certificate dated as of the Increase Effective Date,
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that each of the conditions to such increase set forth in this Section shall have occurred and been complied with and that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date after giving effect to such increase, except to the extent that such
representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and (B) no Default or Event of Default exists; 
  
 (ii) such certificates of resolutions or other action,
incumbency certificates and/or other certificates of Responsible Officers of the Borrower and each Guarantor as the Administrative Agent may require evidencing the identity, authority and capacity of each Responsible Officer thereof authorized to
act as a Responsible Officer in connection with such increase agreement and any Guarantors’ Consent to such increase agreement, and such documents and certifications as the Administrative Agent may require to evidence that the Borrower and each
Guarantor is validly existing and in good standing in its jurisdiction of organization; and 
  
 (iii) a favorable opinion of independent legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, relating to such increase agreement and any Guarantors’ Consent to such increase agreement, addressed to the Administrative Agent and each Lender. 
  
 ARTICLE III. 
 TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
  
 3.01 Taxes. 
  
 (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document
shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from
such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or LC Issuer,
as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had 

  

 41 

 
no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
  
 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

  
 (c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower
shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the LC Issuer, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (provided
that the Borrower shall not indemnify the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the LC Issuer for any such penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising solely from such party’s failure to notify the Borrower of such Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes within a reasonable period of time after such party has actual knowledge of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the LC Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a
Lender or the LC Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
  
 (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a
certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an
exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed
documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or
information reporting requirements. 
  
 Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under
this 

  

 42 

 
Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled
to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: 
  
 (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, 
  
 (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, 
  
 (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits
of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10
percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or 
  
 (iv) any
other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the
Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 
  
 (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the LC Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the
Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the
Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any
interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the LC Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower
(plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the LC Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the LC Issuer is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the LC Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems
confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 
  
 3.02
Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Loans, or to
determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market,
then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the 

  

 43 

 
Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans or to Convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended
until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, Convert all Eurodollar Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such
day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. 
  
 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Majority Lenders determine
that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Loan or a Conversion to or Continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and
Interest Period of such Eurodollar Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any
requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the
obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending
request for a Borrowing of, Conversion to or Continuation of Eurodollar Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. 
  
 3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Loans. 
  
 (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: 

 
 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve,
special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by
Section 3.04(e)) or the LC Issuer; 
  
 (ii) subject any Lender or the LC Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of
payments to such Lender or the LC Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the LC
Issuer); or 
  
 (iii) impose on any Lender or the
LC Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
  

 44 

 
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its
obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the LC Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to
reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the LC Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the LC Issuer, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the LC
Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
  
 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the LC Issuer
determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the LC Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the
Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the LC Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the LC Issuer or such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s holding company
could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from
time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the LC Issuer or such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s holding company for any such
reduction suffered. 
  
 (c) Certificates for
Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the LC Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the LC Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or
(b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt
thereof. 
  
 (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay
on the part of any Lender or the LC Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided
that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the LC Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or
the LC Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in
Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 
  
 (e) Reserves on Eurodollar Loans. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be
required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), 

  

 45 

 
additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender
(as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior
notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from
receipt of such notice. 
  
 3.05 Compensation for
Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result
of: 
  
 (a) any Continuation, Conversion, payment or prepayment of
any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); 
  
 (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such
Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, Continue or Convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or 
  
 (c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant
to Section 10.13; 
  
 including any loss or expense arising from the
liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained (but excluding any loss of anticipated profits). The Borrower shall also pay any customary
administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. 
  
 For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching
deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Loan was in fact so funded. 
  
 3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 
  
 (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to
Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for
the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to 

  

 46 

 
such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or
assignment. 
  
 (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any
Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower may
replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13. 
  
 3.07 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

hereunder, the Borrower represents and warrants to each Lender that: 
  
 5.01 No Default. No Restricted Person is in default in the performance of any of the covenants and agreements contained in any Loan Document. No event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes a Default. 
  
 5.02 Organization and Good Standing. Each of the Restricted
Persons and the General Partner is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization, having all powers required to carry on its business and enter into and carry out the transactions
contemplated hereby. Each of the Restricted Persons and the General Partner is duly qualified, in good standing, and authorized to do business in all other jurisdictions wherein the character of the properties owned or held by it or the nature of
the business transacted by it makes such qualification necessary except where the failure to so qualify has not had, and could not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 5.03 Authorization. Each Restricted Person has duly taken all action
necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by it of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to 

  

 50 

 
authorize the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and the performance of its obligations thereunder. The Borrower is duly authorized to
borrow funds hereunder and obtain Letters of Credit hereunder. 
  
 5.04 No Conflicts or Consents. The execution and delivery by the various Restricted Persons of the Loan Documents to which each is a party, the performance by each of its obligations under such Loan Documents, and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by the various Loan Documents, do not and will not (i) conflict with any provision of (1) any Law, (2) the organizational documents of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or the General Partner, or
(3) any material agreement, judgment, license, order or permit applicable to or binding upon the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or the General Partner, (ii) result in the acceleration of any Indebtedness owed by the Borrower, any of its
Subsidiaries or the General Partner, or (iii) result in or require the creation of any Lien upon any assets or properties of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or the General Partner. Except as expressly contemplated in the Loan Documents or
disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule, no permit, consent, approval, authorization or order of, and no notice to or filing, registration or qualification with, any Tribunal or third party is required in connection with the execution, delivery or
performance by any Restricted Person of any Loan Document or to consummate any transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. Neither the Borrower, nor any of its Subsidiaries nor the General Partner is in breach of or in default under any
instrument, license or other agreement applicable to or binding upon it, which breach or default has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 5.05 Enforceable Obligations. This Agreement is, and the other Loan Documents when duly executed and delivered will

cash flows for the period thereof. 
  
 (b) Since the date of the
Initial Borrower Financial Statements, no event or circumstance has occurred that has had a Material Adverse Effect. Since the date of the Initial ETP Financial Statements, based upon the ETP Reporting, no event or circumstance has occurred that has
had or would reasonably be expected to have an ETP Material Adverse Effect.

The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is solvent (as such term is used in applicable bankruptcy, liquidation, receivership, insolvency or similar Laws), and the sum of the Borrower’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ absolute and
contingent liabilities, including the Obligations or guarantees thereof, shall not exceed the fair market value of such Person’s assets, and the Borrower’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ capital should be adequate for the businesses in
which such Person is engaged and intends to be engaged. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred (whether under the Loan Documents or otherwise), nor does any such Person intend to incur or believe that it will incur, debts
which will be beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature. 
  
 5.17 Use of Proceeds. The statements and representations made in Section 2.05 are true and correct.

the Administrative Agent, and in the case of the other Collateral described in the Pledge and Security Agreement, when financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified in the Perfection Certificate, the Administrative
Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) shall have a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title

 First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts
(including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such; 
  
 Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting

to Cash Collateralize that portion of LC Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit; and 
  
 Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

  
 Amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of
Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as LC Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such
remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or
obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 
  

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 
  
 (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may
expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and 
  
 (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to
disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 
  
 The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until
notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the LC Issuer. 
  
 The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation
made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document
or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

  
 9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or
intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone
and believed by it to have 

  

 77 

 
been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making
of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the LC Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the LC Issuer unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the LC Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be
counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
  
 9.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform
any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any
and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such
sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
  
 9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its
resignation to the Lenders, the LC Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in
the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring
Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the LC Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if
the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Cash Collateral held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the LC Issuer under
any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Cash Collateral until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be
made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the LC Issuer directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the
acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a
successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such 

  

 78 

 
successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and
Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring
Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 
  
 Any
resignation by Wachovia Bank, National Association as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as LC Issuer. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder,
(a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring LC Issuer, (b) the retiring LC Issuer shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor LC Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to
the retiring LC Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring LC Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit. 
  
 9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the LC Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender
and the LC Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem
appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
  
 9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers, Syndication Agents, Documentation Agents, Managing Agents, or other Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the LC Issuer hereunder. 
  
 9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Restricted Person, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or LC Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise 
  
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and
interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the LC Issuer and the
Administrative Agent allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
  

 79 

 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to
distribute the same; 
  
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the LC Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent
to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the LC Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel,
and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.12 and 10.04. 
  
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the LC Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment
or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. 
  
 9.10 Guaranty Matters. The Lenders and the LC Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to release
any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Majority Lenders will confirm in writing the
Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10.

litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Restricted Person, and regardless of whether any
Indemnitee is a party thereto, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be
available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Restricted Person against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if
the Borrower or such Restricted Person has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. 
  
 (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any
amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the LC Issuer, the Swingline Lender, or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the LC Issuer, the Swingline Lender, or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed
expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative
Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Swingline Lender, or the LC Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Swingline Lender, or LC Issuer in

as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to
in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in

resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 
  
 10.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on
behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued
in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the LC Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of
any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations
of the Lenders and the LC Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
  
 10.06 Successors and Assigns. 
  
 (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section,
(ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the 

  

 85 

 
restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in
this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section
and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
  
 (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to
one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in LC Obligations) at the
time owing to it); provided that, except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate
of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the
Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the
Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to
be unreasonably withheld or delayed); 
  
 (i)
each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned; 
  
 (ii) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the
Administrative Agent and the LC Issuer unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and 
  
 (iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative
Questionnaire. 
  
 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released
from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall 

  

 86 

 
cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04
with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights
or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this
Section. 
  
 (c) Register. The Administrative Agent,
acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and LC Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The
Register shall be available for inspection by each of the Borrower and the LC Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantive
change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender wishing to consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register. 
  
 (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the
consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in
all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in LC Obligations) owing to it); provided that
(i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the LC Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 
  
 Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide
that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this
Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.15 as though it were a Lender. 
  

 87 

 (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any
greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made
with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such
Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender. 
  
 (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
(including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
  
 (g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import
in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use
of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records
Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
  
 (h) Resignation as LC Issuer after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Wachovia Bank, National Association assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to
subsection (b) above, Wachovia Bank, National Association may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as LC Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as LC Issuer, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from
among the Lenders a successor LC Issuer hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Wachovia Bank, National Association as LC Issuer. If Wachovia Bank,
National Association resigns as LC Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the LC Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as LC Issuer and all LC Obligations
with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Matured LC Obligations pursuant to Section 2.09). 
  
 10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the
LC Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees,
agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent
requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates or to any such regulatory authority in accordance with such 

  

 88 

 
Lender’s regulatory compliance policy, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process,
(d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights
hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the
extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the LC Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. 
  
 For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such
information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the LC Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or
any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied
with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
  
 10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, each Lender, the LC Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the LC Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the
Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the LC Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the LC Issuer shall have made
any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the LC Issuer different from the branch or office holding
such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, the LC Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the LC
Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the LC Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not
affect the validity of such setoff and application. 
  
 10.09
Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by
applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that 

  

 89 

 
exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the
Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that
is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest
throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 
  
 10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken
together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or
written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received
counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement. 
  
 10.11 Survival of
Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and
delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and
notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall
remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding. 
  
 10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining
provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions
the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction. 
  
 10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If any
Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, if any Lender is
a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without 

  

 90 

 
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights
and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that: 
  
 (a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment
fee specified in Section 10.06(b); 
  
 (b) such Lender
shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and Letter of Credit participations, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
(including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 
  
 (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and 
  
 (d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws. 
  
 A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if,
prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
  
 10.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. 
  
 (a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK.

UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO
AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT
SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE LC ISSUER 

  

 91 

 
MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE
COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. 
  
 (c) WAIVER OF
VENUE. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM
TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT. 
  
 (d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE
PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. 
  
 10.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF

OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 
  
 10.16 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not
on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and
record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance
with the Act. The Borrower will comply with reasonable requests of any Lender for such information.
