WHEREAS, each financial institution identified on Schedule 1 hereto as an “Extending Bank” (each, an “Extending Bank”) has agreed, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, to provide Commitments terminating on the Extended Commitment Termination Date in the amounts set forth on Schedule 1 hereto opposite such Extending Bank’s name under the heading “Commitment” (the “Extended Commitments”); and
WHEREAS, on the First Amendment Effective Date (as defined in Section 7 below), the existing Commitment of each Extending Bank will be converted into an Extended Commitment;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(c)    At the Borrower’s option, the Borrower may elect to terminate the Commitment of any Defaulting Bank upon notice to such Defaulting Bank and the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether such Defaulting Bank holds any outstanding Loans) and such notice shall be effective upon receipt by both the Defaulting Bank and the Administrative Agent; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, if such Defaulting Bank holds any Loans, and such Loans are not assigned pursuant to Section 2.18 or otherwise, then such Defaulting Bank shall continue to hold such Loans until such time as such Loans are repaid by the Borrower or assigned pursuant to this Agreement.  Upon termination of a Bank’s Commitment under this Section 2.19, the Borrower shall (x) to the extent applicable after giving effect to Section 2.19(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Bank, Cash Collateralize such Defaulting Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, (y) subject to Section 2.19(a), pay or cause to be paid all accrued facility fees or Letter of Credit Fees payable to such Bank and all other amounts due and payable to such Bank hereunder and (z) if such Bank is an Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for deposit an amount equal to the available amount of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, and upon such payments, the obligations of such Bank hereunder with respect to such unused Commitment which have been terminated shall, by the provisions hereof, be released and discharged.
Section 2.20.  Issuance of Letters of Credit; Drawings and Reimbursements; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit; Funding of Participations.
(a)    Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.  (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, from time to time upon the request of the Borrower delivered to an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and may, at the request of the Borrower, include the issuance of a Back-Up Letter of Credit confirming a letter of credit issued by the Borrower.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall be the sole party to any Letter of Credit Application notwithstanding that any Letter of Credit may be issued or amended, as the case may be, for the account of the Borrower, its Consolidated Entities, its Members or any member of its

agrees to, purchase from such Issuing Bank a risk participation in such L/C Credit Extension in an amount equal to the product of such Bank’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such L/C Credit Extension.
(iii)    If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, (i) upon the expiration of the initial term of each Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit shall terminate or (ii) upon the expiration of the initial and each successive term of each Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit shall then be automatically extended for successive one-year terms (each such automatically extending Letter of Credit, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”), except that the last term in each case shall in any event expire not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (or such later date as may be agreed by the Banks in accordance with Section 2.01(c)(i)); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelvemonth period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) or upon notice to such Issuing Bank by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(i), by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a Domestic Business Day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless otherwise directed by such Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Bank for any such extension.  Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Banks shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (or such later date as may be agreed by the Banks in accordance with Section 2.01(c)(i)); provided, however, that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if such Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.01(c)(i), or otherwise), or it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Domestic Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent that the Required Banks have elected not to permit such extension or from the Administrative Agent or any Bank that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.03 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such Issuing Bank not to permit such extension.  
(iv)    Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, such Issuing Bank will also deliver to the

Issuing Bank, as applicable.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Banks of any such replacement or addition, as applicable, of an Issuing Bank.  Where an Issuing Bank is replaced, at the time such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for account of the replaced Issuing Bank.  Furthermore, from and after the effective date of such replacement, the successor Issuing Bank, shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter.  References herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to any successor or additional Issuing Bank, as applicable, or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to any successor or additional Issuing Banks, as applicable, and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require.  After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
Section 2.21.  2017 Conversions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and pursuant to an offer (a “2017 Conversion Offer”) made by the Borrower after the Amendment Effective Date to any 2017 Bank, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with any individual 2017 Bank that in its sole and absolute discretion elects to consent to and accept such 2017 Conversion Offer to convert all (but not less than all) of such accepting 2017 Bank’s 2017 Commitment and 2017 Credit Exposure to an equal principal amount of a 20182019 Commitment and 20182019 Credit Exposure (a “2017 Conversion”).  Upon the effectiveness of any such 2017 Conversion, (i) such accepting 2017 Bank shall become a 20182019 Bank, (ii) such accepting 2017 Bank’s 2017 Commitments shall become 20182019 Commitments in an aggregate principal amount equal to such accepting 2017 Bank’s 2017 Commitments and (iii) such accepting 2017 Bank’s 2017 Credit Exposure shall become a 20182019 Credit Exposure in an aggregate principal amount equal to such accepting 2017 Bank’s 2017 Credit Exposure.  In connection with any 2017 Conversion, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank at least five Domestic Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof.

ARTICLE 3

ARTICLE 4 
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
The Borrower makes the following representations, warranties and agreements, which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes and the making of the Loans or L/C Credit Extensions:
Section 4.01.  Corporate Existence, Power and Authority.  The Borrower is a cooperative association duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the District of Columbia and has the corporate power and authority and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged.  The Borrower is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business in which it is engaged makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except in those jurisdictions in which the failure to be so qualified or licensed would not (after qualification, assuming that the Borrower could so qualify without the payment of any fee or penalty and retain the rights as they existed prior to such qualification all to an extent so that any fees or penalties required to be so 

good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and only if such additional amount or amounts are passed on in a similar manner by such Bank Party to similarly situated borrowers (which are parties to credit or loan documentation containing a provision similar to this Section 8.03(a), as determined by such Bank Party in its reasonable discretion, or (ii) convert such Bank Party’s Loans so affected by such Change in Law to Base Rate Loans and pay any related breakage costs pursuant to Section 2.14 and any accrued increased costs pursuant to this Section 8.03).
(b)    If a Bank Party, other than a Defaulting Bank, determines that any Change in Law, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Bank Party based on the existence of such Bank Party’s Commitment hereunder or its obligations hereunder, it will notify the Borrower.  This determination will be made on a Bank Party-by-Bank Party basis.  The Borrower shall (i) within 15 days following the Borrower’s receipt of the certificate referenced in clause (c) pay to each Bank Party on demand such additional amounts as are necessary to compensate for the increased cost to such Bank Party as a result of any Change in Law or (ii) convert such Bank Party’s Loans so affected by such Change in Law to a Base Rate Loan and pay any related breakage costs pursuant to Section 2.14 and any accrued increased costs pursuant to this Section 8.03.  In determining such amount, such Bank Party will act reasonably and in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, and such Bank Party will pass such costs on to the Borrower only if such costs are passed on in a similar manner by such Bank Party to similarly situated borrowers (which are parties to credit or loan documentation containing a provision similar to this Section 8.03(b)), as determined by such Bank Party in its reasonable discretion.  Each Bank Party’s determination of compensation shall be conclusive if made in accordance with this provision.  Each Bank Party, upon determining that any increased costs will be payable pursuant to this Section 8.03(b), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall show the basis for calculation of such increased costs, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the Borrower’s obligations to pay increased costs pursuant to this Section 8.03(b).
(c)    Each Bank Party will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank Party to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Bank Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank Party.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Bank Party in connection with any such designation.  A Bank Party claiming compensation under this Section shall furnish a certificate to the Borrower setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  In 

such notices shall be deemed to have been duly and timely given in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documentation.

Section 9.16.  Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under this Agreement may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution;
(b)    the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability, (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

“Write-Down and Conversion Powers” means, with respect to any EEA Resolution Authority, the write-down and conversion powers of such EEA Resolution Authority from time to time under the Bail-In Legislation for the applicable EEA Member Country, which write-down and conversion powers are described in the EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule.
Section 1.02.  Accounting Terms and Determinations.  Unless otherwise specified herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted, all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made and all financial statements required to be delivered hereunder shall be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP as in effect from time to time, applied on a basis consistent (except for changes concurred in by the Borrower’s independent public accountants) with the most recent audited financial statements of the Borrower and its Consolidated Entities delivered to the Bank Parties.
Section 1.03.  Types of Borrowings.  The term “Borrowing” denotes the aggregation of Loans of one or more Banks to be made to the Borrower pursuant to Article 2 on a single date and for a single Interest Period.  Borrowings are classified for purposes of this Agreement either by reference to the pricing of Loans comprising such Borrowing (e.g., a “Euro-Dollar Borrowing” is a Borrowing comprised of Euro-Dollar Loans) or by reference to the provisions of Article 2 under which participation therein is determined (i.e., a “Revolving Borrowing” is a Borrowing under Section 2.01(a) in which all Banks participate in proportion to their Commitments, while a “Money Market Borrowing” is a Borrowing under Section 2.03 in which the Bank participants are determined on the basis of their bids in accordance therewith).  All Loans and all Borrowings, including with respect to their respective Interest Periods, under the Existing Credit Agreement, if any, are listed on the Existing Commitment Schedule, that are outstanding on the Amendment Effective Date shall become Loans and Borrowings with the same Interest Period under this Agreement.
Section 1.04.  Letter of Credit.  Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to mean the stated face amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases 

in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all increases or decreases, as applicable, thereof, whether or not such maximum face amount is in effect at such time.  All Existing Letters of Credit issued and outstanding on the Amendment Effective Date shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit under this Agreement and from and after the Amendment Effective Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.
ARTICLE 2
THE CREDITS
Section 2.01.  Commitments to Lend and Issue Letters of Credit.  (a)Revolving Loans.  During the Revolving Credit Period each Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make loans to  
the Borrower pursuant to this Section from time to time in amounts such that the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans by such Bank at any one time outstanding plus (y) such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations shall not exceed the amount of its Commitment.  Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000 (except that any such Borrowing may be in the maximum aggregate amount available in accordance with Section 3.03(d)) and  
shall be made from the several Banks ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments.  Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow under this Section, repay or, to the extent permitted by Section 2.12, prepay Loans and reborrow at any time during the Revolving Credit Period under this Section.  All Loans will be made by all Banks (pro rata between the 2019 Banks and 20202021 Banks) in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Commitments until the 2019 Commitment Termination Date; thereafter, all Loans will be made  
by the 20202021 Banks in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the 20202021 Aggregate Commitments until the 20202021 Commitment Termination Date, in each case subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.03(d).
(b)    Letters of Credit.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each Issuing Bank agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Banks set forth in Section 2.20, (A) from time to time on any Domestic Business Day during the period from the Amendment Effective Date until the Letter of  
Credit Expiration Date, to make L/C Credit Extensions either (i) for the account of the Borrower, its Consolidated Entities, its Members or members of its Consolidated Entities or (ii) in support of a letter of credit issued by the Borrower  
as a back-up confirmation or backup credit support of such letter of credit (“Back-Up Letter of Credit”), and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.20(a)(i) and (ii), and (B) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit issued by it; and (ii) the Banks severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower, its Consolidated Entities, its Members or members of its Consolidated Entities and

any L/C Borrowings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C  
Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (1) the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans of any Bank, plus (y) such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations shall not exceed such Bank’s Commitment, (2) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit and (3) the Outstanding Amount of all  
L/C Obligations of each Initial Issuing Bank shall not exceed the Initial Issuing Bank Sublimit of such Initial Issuing Bank unless otherwise agreed by such Initial Issuing Bank; provided, further that the 2019 Banks agreement to purchase participations in Letters of Credit shall be limited to their Pro Rata Share of any Letters of Credit with an expiration date that is no later than five Domestic  
Business Days prior to the 2019 Commitment Termination Date and is otherwise subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.03(d).  Each request by the  
Borrower for the issuance of, or an amendment to increase the amount of, any Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the  
L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the condition set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.
(c)    Letters of Credit Generally.  (i) No Issuing Bank shall issue any Letter of Credit if the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Banks have approved such expiry date; provided that in no event shall the expiry date of any requested Letter of Credit occur on or after the Domestic Business Day immediately preceding the Commitment Termination Date.
(ii)    No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to make any L/C Credit Extension if:
(A)    any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or  
restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Applicable Law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law, but if not having the force of law, being a request or directive which is generally complied with by comparable financial institutions) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from the issuance of Letters of Credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the First Amendment Effective Date, or

shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the First Amendment Effective Date and which such Issuing Bank in good faith reasonably deems material to it; provided, however, that in the event a Bank Party participating in the Letters of Credit is not affected by any such restriction, requirement or imposition, and is able to issue such Letter of Credit and expressly agrees in its sole discretion to issue such Letter of Credit, such Bank Party, subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, shall issue such Letter of Credit and shall be deemed the Issuing Bank with regard to such Letter of Credit for all purposes of this Agreement;
(B)    the making of such L/C Credit Extension would violate any Applicable Laws;
(C)    except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, such Letter of Credit is in an initial face amount less than $25,000;
(D)    such L/C Credit Extension is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars;
(E)    such L/C Credit Extension contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any L/C Borrowing thereunder; or
(F)    a default of any Bank’s obligations to fund under Section 2.20 exists, or any Bank is then a Defaulting Bank, unless, after giving effect to Section 2.19(a)(iv)) with respect to such  
Bank, such Issuing Bank has entered into satisfactory  
arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral satisfactory to the Issuing Bank (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or  
such Bank to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s risk.
(iii)    No Issuing Bank shall be under the obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
Section 2.02.  Notice of Committed Borrowings.  The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice (a “Notice of Committed Borrowing”) not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on (x) the date of such Borrowing, in the case of each Base Rate Borrowing, and (y) the third Euro-Dollar Business Day before such Borrowing, in the case of each Euro-Dollar Borrowing, specifying:

attach to and make a part of its Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.
(d)    Any Note evidencing a Loan (as such term is defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) made prior to the Amendment Effective Date may be  
exchanged upon request of the relevant Bank, made through the Administrative Agent, and simultaneous surrender of such Note to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent in exchange for one or more new Notes evidencing the 2019 Loans and the 20202021 Loans, respectively, outstanding hereunder, if any, as of the Amendment Effective Date.
Section 2.06.  Maturity of Loans.  Each Loan hereunder shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date with respect to such Loan.
Section 2.07.  Interest Rates.  (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest  
on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the applicable Base Rate Margin for such day.  Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, with respect to the principal amount of any Base Rate Loan that is prepaid or converted to a Euro-Dollar Loan, on the  
date of such prepayment or conversion.  Any overdue principal of or interest on  
any Base Rate Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day.
(b)    Each Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Euro-Dollar Margin plus the applicable Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate.  Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, three months after the first day thereof and, with respect to the principal amount of any Euro-Dollar Loan that is prepaid or converted to a Base Rate Loan, on the date of such prepayment or conversion.
The “Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate” applicable to any Interest Period means a rate per annum equal to the quotient obtained (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) by dividing (i) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate by (ii) 1.00 minus the Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage.
The “London Interbank Offered Rate” applicable to any Interest Period means the rate appearing on pages LIBOR01 or LIBOR02 of the Reuters screen that displays such rate (or on any successor or substitute page of such Reuters Service, or if the Reuters Service ceases to be available, any successor to or substitute for such Reuters Service, providing rate quotations comparable to those currently provided on such page of such Reuters Service, as determined by the

(d)    Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable  
to Issuing Banks, Etc.  The Borrower shall pay directly to the relevant Issuing  
Bank for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit  
issued hereunder on the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit in an amount to be agreed between the Borrower and  
the applicable Issuing Bank of the L/C Obligations (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit) (the “Fronting Fee”).  The Fronting Fee shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days (including the first day but excluding the last day), as pro-rated for any partial quarter, as applicable, and shall be due and payable on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand.  In addition, the Borrower shall, with respect to all Letters of Credit issued at its request, pay directly to each Issuing Bank for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such Issuing Bank relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect.  Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable  on demand and are nonrefundable.
(e)    Amendment Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each 20202021 Bank on the First Amendment Effective Date the upfront fees required to be paid on such date, as set forth in the 20152016 Fee Letters.
Section 2.10.  Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments.   
During the Revolving Credit Period, the Borrower may, upon at least three Domestic Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent will promptly deliver to the Banks), (i) terminate all 2019 Commitments at any time, if no 2019 Loans are outstanding at such time, (ii) terminate all Commitments at any time, if no Loans are outstanding at such time or (iii) ratably reduce from time to time by an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000, the aggregate amount of the 2019 Commitments, the 20202021 Commitments or the Commitments in excess of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans.
Section 2.11.  Mandatory Termination of Commitments.  The Commitments shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date.
Section 2.12.  Optional Prepayments.  (a) Subject in the case of Euro- Dollar Loans to Section 2.14, the Borrower may (i) on any Domestic Business Day, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay any Group of Base Rate Loans (or any Money Market Borrowing bearing interest at the Base Rate  
pursuant to Section 8.01(a)) or (ii) upon at least three Euro-Dollar Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay any Group of Euro-Dollar Loans, in each case in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating $10,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000, by paying the principal amount 

to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment; provided that prior to the 2019 Commitment Termination Date, to the extent an applicable Group of Loans contains both 2019 Loans and 20202021 Loans, any such optional prepayment shall be applied to the 2019 Loans and 20202021 Loans in such Group of Loans on a pro rata basis; and provided further if the Borrower desires to terminate all 2019 Commitments in accordance with Section 2.10(i), the Borrower may prepay all 2019 Loans outstanding at such time and upon such prepayment, terminate the 2019 Commitments in accordance with 2.10(i).  Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Banks included in such Group of Loans (or such Money Market Borrowing).
(b)    Except as provided in Section 2.12(a), the Borrower may not prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of any Money Market Loan prior to the maturity thereof.
(c)    Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s ratable share (if any) of such prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.
Section 2.13.  General Provisions as to Payments.  (a)  The Borrower  
shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans or L/C Obligations and of fees hereunder, not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.01.  The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank Party its ratable share of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Bank Parties.  Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day.  Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Dollar Loans or Money Market Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day unless such Euro-Dollar Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Dollar Business Day.  If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.
(b)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Bank Parties hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may (but shall have no obligation to), in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank Party on such due date an amount equal to the amount

Section 2.17.  Increase of Commitments.  (a) Upon at least five days’  
prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Banks), the Borrower shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, to increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments in multiples of $5,000,000; provided that (i) such increase may be effected by increasing the 2019 Commitment, the 20202021 Commitment or any combination of the foregoing, so long as such increase satisfies all terms and conditions herein, including, but not limited to, this Section 2.17, (ii) the amount of such increase when added to the aggregate amount of all such prior increases in the Commitments hereunder (including by way of creating new Commitments), on or after the Amendment Effective Date, does not exceed the sum of $500,000,000 and the amount of any Commitments terminated by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19(c) and (iii) the total aggregate amount of Commitments hereunder does not, at any time, exceed $2,200,000,000.
(b)    Any such increase in the Commitments (the “Incremental Commitments”) hereunder shall apply, at the option of the Borrower, (x) to the Commitment of one or more Banks; provided that (i) the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Bank the Commitment of which is to be increased shall consent to such increase, (ii) the amount set forth on the Commitment Schedule opposite the name of each Bank the Commitment of which is being so increased shall be amended to reflect the increased Commitment of such Bank and (iii) if any Committed Loans are outstanding at the time of such an increase, the Borrower will, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on the date of such increase, incur and repay or prepay one or more Committed Loans from the Banks in such amounts so that after giving effect thereto the Committed Loans shall be outstanding on a pro rata basis (based on  
the Commitments of the Banks after giving effect to the changes made pursuant to this Section 2.17 on such date) from all the Banks or (y) to the creation of a new Commitment of one or more institutions not then a Bank hereunder; provided that (i) such institution becomes a party to this Agreement as a Bank by execution and delivery to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of counterparts of this Agreement, (ii) the Commitment Schedule shall be amended to reflect the Commitment of such new Bank, (iii) if requested by such new Bank, the Borrower shall issue a Note to such new Bank in conformity with the provisions of Section 2.05, (iv) if any Committed Loans are outstanding at the time of the creation of such Commitment of such Bank, the Borrower will, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on the date of the creation of such Commitment, incur and repay or prepay one or more Committed Loans from the Banks in such amounts so that after giving effect thereto the Committed Loans shall be outstanding on a pro rata basis (based on the Commitments of the Banks after giving effect to the changes made pursuant to this Section 2.17 on such date) from all the Banks and (v) if such institution is neither a banking institution nor an affiliate of a Bank, such institution must be consented to by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank.  The date on which the conditions set forth in this 

the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Banks and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.19(a)(iv), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Banks in a manner consistent with Section 2.19(a)(iv)(A) (and such Defaulting Bank shall not participate therein).
In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, and the Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Bank has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Bank to be a Defaulting Bank, then the L/C Obligations of the Banks shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Bank’s Commitment and on such date such Bank shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Banks as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Bank to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.
(c)    At the Borrower’s option, the Borrower may elect to terminate the Commitment of any Defaulting Bank upon notice to such Defaulting Bank and the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether such Defaulting Bank holds any outstanding Loans) and such notice shall be effective upon receipt by both the Defaulting Bank and the Administrative Agent; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, if such Defaulting Bank holds any Loans, and such Loans are not assigned pursuant to Section 2.18 or otherwise, then such Defaulting Bank shall continue to hold such Loans until such time as such Loans are repaid by the Borrower or assigned pursuant to this Agreement.  Upon termination of a Bank’s Commitment under this Section 2.19, the Borrower shall (x) to the extent applicable after giving effect to Section 2.19(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Bank, Cash Collateralize such Defaulting Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, (y) subject to Section 2.19(a), pay or cause to be paid all accrued facility fees or Letter of Credit Fees payable to such Bank and all other amounts due and payable to such Bank hereunder and (z) if such Bank is an Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for deposit an amount equal to the available amount of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, and upon such payments, the obligations of such Bank hereunder with respect to such unused Commitment  
which have been terminated shall, by the provisions hereof, be released and discharged.
Section 2.20.  Issuance of Letters of Credit; Drawings and Reimbursements; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit; Funding of Participations.
(a)    Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit;  
Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.  (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, from time to time upon the request of the Borrower delivered to an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and may, at the request of the Borrower, include the issuance of a Back-Up Letter of Credit confirming a letter of credit issued by the Borrower.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall be the 

accordance with such Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices.  Immediately upon the making of each L/C Credit Extension, each Bank shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such Issuing Bank a risk participation in such L/C Credit Extension in an amount equal to the product of such Bank’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such L/C Credit Extension.
(iii)    If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of  
Credit Application, (i) upon the expiration of the initial term of each Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit shall terminate or (ii) upon the expiration of the initial and each successive term of each Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit shall then be automatically extended for successive one-year terms (each such automatically extending Letter of Credit, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”), except that the last term in each case shall in any event expire not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (or such later  
date as may be agreed by the Banks in accordance with Section 2.01(c)(i)); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) or upon notice to such Issuing Bank by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(i), by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a Domestic Business Day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month  
period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless otherwise directed by such Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall not be  
required to make a specific request to such Issuing Bank for any such extension.  Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Banks shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (or such later date as may be agreed by the Banks in accordance with Section 2.01(c)(i)); provided, however, that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if such Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter  
of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by  
reason of the provisions of Section 2.01(c)(i), or otherwise), or it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Domestic Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent that the Required Banks have elected not to permit such extension or from the Administrative Agent or any Bank that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.03 is  not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such Issuing Bank not to permit such extension.
(iv)    Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto 

(l)    Replacement or Addition of Issuing Bank.  An Issuing Bank may be replaced or added at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (unless, in the case of the replacement of an Issuing Bank,  
the successor Issuing Bank is a Bank and, if applicable, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and the successor or additional Issuing Bank, as applicable.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Banks of any such replacement or addition, as applicable, of an Issuing Bank.  Where an Issuing Bank is replaced, at the time such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for account of the replaced Issuing Bank.  Furthermore, from and after the effective date of such replacement, the successor Issuing Bank, shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter.  References herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer  
to any successor or additional Issuing Bank, as applicable, or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to any successor or additional Issuing Banks, as applicable, and  
all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require.  After the replacement of  
an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
Section 2.21.  2019 Conversions.  Notwithstanding anything to the  
contrary in this Agreement, subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and pursuant to an offer (a “2019 Conversion Offer”) made by the Borrower after the Amendment Effective Date to any 2019 Bank, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with any  
individual 2019 Bank that in its sole and absolute discretion elects to consent to  
and accept such 2019 Conversion Offer to convert all (but not less than all) of such accepting 2019 Bank’s 2019 Commitment and 2019 Credit Exposure to an equal principal amount of a 20202021 Commitment and 20202021 Credit Exposure (a “2019 Conversion”).  Upon the effectiveness of any such 2019 Conversion, (i) such accepting 2019 Bank shall become a 20202021 Bank, (ii) such accepting  2019 Bank’s 2019 Commitments shall become 20202021 Commitments in an aggregate principal amount equal to such accepting 2019 Bank’s 2019 Commitments and (iii) such accepting 2019 Bank’s 2019 Credit Exposure shall become a 20202021 Credit Exposure in an aggregate principal amount equal to such accepting 2019 Bank’s 2019 Credit Exposure.  In connection with any 2019 Conversion, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent and Issuing  Bank at least five Domestic Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof.

This determination will be made on a Bank Party-by-Bank Party basis.
