	I.
	Purpose

The Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (“Bank”) strives to attract, retain and motivate employees of the Bank, and to focus its employees’ efforts on fulfilling the Bank’s mission and vision within a safe and sound framework and in a manner consistent with the Bank’s shared values. This 2017 Incentive Plan (“Plan”) is designed to compensate Bank employees in a manner consistent with these goals by: 

		
	•
	Recognizing Bank employees for their individual and/or team contributions to the Bank’s achievement of the Strategic Imperatives listed in the 2017-2019 Strategic Business Plan (“SBP”); and

		
	•
	Providing incentive awards that when combined with base salaries provide competitive total cash compensation to Bank employees. 

The Plan is effective for the calendar year beginning January 1, 2017. Awards earned during the Performance Period under the Plan (“Plan Awards”) fall into two separate subcategories: “Annual Awards” and “Deferred Awards.” (See Section VI., Definitions, for a description of these terms).  

The Plan shall remain in effect until the Human Resources and Compensation Committee (“HRC”) of the Board of Directors (“Board”) terminates, replaces or amends the Plan. 

		
	II.
	Eligibility

All regular full-time and part-time (working at least 20 hours/week) employees are eligible to participate in the Plan, with the exception of the Internal Audit Department employees who may be eligible to participate in a separate incentive plan as approved by the Board’s Audit Committee. Temporary employees, interns or independent contractors are not eligible to participate in the Plan.  

III.    Plan Design

The Plan includes two components:

•    Bank-wide business performance goals aligned with the Bank’s SBP. These will be quantitative goals tied to the Bank’s business and mission activities, profitability, and risk management initiatives. There will be a diversity and inclusion goal for Management Committee team members only.. 

•    Individual and/or team goals for achievement of other objectives tied to the strategic imperatives in the Bank’s SBP of Member Focus, Financial Management, People and Culture, Public Mission and Operational Excellence.

The Plan is designed to emphasize overall Bank performance for officers and certain other professionals and more specific operationally-focused goals related to particular areas of responsibility for other employees that provide a “line of sight incentive.”  

Each calendar year the HRC shall establish one or more Bank-wide performance goals, consistent with the SBP in effect during the Performance Period. Each goal will be weighted, and shall have a threshold, target, and maximum level of performance, as appropriate.  

Each calendar year, employees and their managers will develop individual and/or team goals in alignment with the strategic imperatives and strategies included in the SBP.  

Recognizing that circumstances and priorities may change, management may submit to the HRC recommended revisions to Bank-wide performance goals. The HRC will evaluate the submission and determine whether the Bank-wide performance goals should be amended. 

Management may authorize changes to individual and/or team goals throughout the Performance Period as priorities and circumstances dictate.

Bank-wide performance goal achievement levels that discretely fall in between threshold, target and maximum performance levels will be interpolated, unless otherwise directed in the design of a particular performance goal.

The total incentive target is a weighted average of the Bank-wide performance goals and individual and/or team goals. 

The following chart provides the threshold, target and maximum Plan Award percentage payout opportunities for each level in the Bank, and associated weights for Bank-wide performance goals and individual and/or team goals. The chart also provides the portion of each Plan Award, if any, that is a Deferred Award.

The actual threshold, target, and maximum achievement levels for the Bank-wide performance goals in the Plan are presented in Exhibit 1 (attached). 

Bank-wide performance goals for the President and CEO, Executive Vice Presidents and Senior Vice Presidents are weighted at 100% based on the Bank-wide goals in Exhibit 1.

As noted above, for employees classified in Tiers 1-4, a portion of the Plan Award will be paid as an Annual Award in the year following the Performance Period and as a Deferred Award at the end of the Deferral Period. The Deferred Award is designed to ensure that Bank management does not take short-term measures in 2017 to secure incentive compensation that could be detrimental to the long-term value of the Bank. This will ensure that management continues to operate the Bank in a profitable and prudent manner for the long-term value of its members. 

 
For the 2017 Performance Period, the 2017 Deferred Award is to be paid in 2021. The Deferred Award earned during the Performance Period will be impacted by the achievement level of economic value of capital stock (EVCS) in future periods. See Exhibit 2 (attached) for more information on the final determination of the Deferred Award. 

Bank-wide Performance Goals

Bank-wide business performance goals are aligned with the Bank’s SBP. These will be quantitative goals tied to the Bank’s business and mission activities, profitability, and risk management initiatives. There will be a diversity and inclusion goal for Management Committee team members only.

As a cooperative, the Bank needs to satisfy the expectations of members as both shareholders and customers. Fulfilling that cooperative mission must be done in a prudent manner so as to preserve the par value of capital stock, which is the rationale for including risk management measures among the Bank’s performance goals.

All employees should have a portion of their incentive potential tied to Bank-wide performance so that everyone in the Bank, regardless of their role or level in the organization, thinks about delivering value to the members, managing the Bank effectively and efficiently, and doing so within an appropriate risk and mission framework.

Given the environment in which the Bank operates, the Board will periodically review achievement on the incentive goals and the HRC may consider changes to the goals as appropriate and subject to the review and non-objection of the FHFA. Structural changes in the financial services sector driven by factors largely outside the Bank’s control (such as legislative changes) may necessitate wholesale changes in how the Bank’s executives and other employees are rewarded.

Achievement Levels of Bank-wide Performance Goals in the 2017 Plan

The threshold, target, and maximum achievements levels for the Bank-wide performance goals listed in the attached Exhibit 1 are calibrated based on results from previous years and projections in the Bank’s 2017-2019 SBP. 

2017 Individual and/or Team Performance Goals
Individual and/or team goals in the Plan are generally linked to the strategic imperative in the Bank’s 2017-2019 SBP: Member Focus, Financial Management, People and Culture, Public Mission and Operational Excellence.

The nature of individual and/or team goals varies depending on the individual’s role and level in the organization. For example, an individual in the Enterprise Risk Management department might have individual and/or team goals focused on improving the Bank’s risk management infrastructure, while an employee in the Credit Sales department might be focused on developing new or enhanced products for the members. 

Payout Determination

Annual and Deferred Awards earned during the Performance Period are payable in 2018 and 2021, respectively, and are subject to HRC approval. Notwithstanding the formulaic computations of the Plan payouts based on incentive goal achievement levels, actual payouts under the Plan are subject to the HRC’s review and approval and are made at the HRC’s discretion subject to prior review and non-objection by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) for the Bank’s Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”). 

The HRC may consider a variety of objective and subjective factors to decide on the appropriate payouts including but not limited to: (i) operational errors or omissions that result in material revisions to the financial results, information submitted to the FHFA or data used to determine incentive payouts; (ii) untimely submission of information to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), Office of Finance (“OF”), or the FHFA, or; (iii) failure to make sufficient progress, as determined by the FHFA, in the timely remediation of examination, monitoring, and other supervisory findings and matters requiring attention.  

The HRC shall consider the relevant facts and circumstances and reduce incentive awards commensurate with the materiality of the exception relative to the Bank’s financial and operational performance and financial reporting responsibilities.

The HRC also may determine a participant is not eligible to receive part or all of any Plan Award payouts. Events that may justify such HRC action may include, but are not limited to, the following:  

		
	•
	a participant’s failure to achieve a “meets expectations” or higher evaluation of overall job performance during a Performance Period;

		
	•
	a participant becomes subject to disciplinary action or probationary status at the scheduled time of a Plan Award payout; or

		
	•
	a participant’s failure to comply with regulatory requirements or standards, internal control standards, the standards of his or her profession, any internal Bank standard, or failure to perform responsibilities assigned under the Bank’s SBP. 

As soon as feasible after the conclusion of each Performance Period, the HRC shall review the Bank’s performance against its Bank-wide performance goals, and if appropriate, shall approve the payout, if any.  

As soon as feasible after conclusion of each Performance Period, the responsible manager will determine the achievement and performance levels of individual and/or team goals for participants. Executive Management (President and CEO and Executive Vice Presidents) of the Bank will review, approve and submit to Human Resources the Plan Awards for their areas of responsibility. Executive Management and Human Resources will together calibrate the individual and/or team payouts across the Bank. Human Resources, after considering each participant’s performance against individual’s goals, shall recommend to the HRC the payout levels for approval. 

Plan Awards are determined based on the participant’s actual earned base salary or wages for hours worked, including overtime and hours paid under the Bank’s paid time off policies, as applicable, but in any case excludes any bonus, incentive compensation, severance payments, or long-term disability insurance payments paid for the current or a prior year. In the event a participant receives a raise during a calendar year, the participant’s compensation for the year will reflect the actual wages paid to the participant for the year. A participant who has a hire date prior to the beginning of the Performance Period is eligible to receive a full Plan Award. A participant who has a hire date after the beginning of the Performance Period is eligible to receive a prorated Plan Award based on the employee’s eligible earnings earned during the Plan Year. A participant hired on or after October 1 of the Performance Period is not eligible to receive a Plan Award for the Performance Period in which they were hired.

Unless otherwise directed by the HRC, Plan Award payouts shall be made in a lump sum through regular payroll distribution, typically within 75 days after the end of the Performance Period (in the case of an Annual Award) or Deferral Period (in the case of the Deferred Award), but  in any event by the end of the calendar year following the Performance Period or Deferral Period, as applicable, for which payout approval has been received. Appropriate provisions shall be made for any taxes that the Bank determines are required to be withheld from any payment under applicable laws or other regulations of any governmental authority, whether federal, state or local.  

Employees whose employment ends before any Plan Award payout will not be eligible for award payouts under the Plan unless otherwise provided for herein or in any Executive Employment Agreement. The HRC has the sole discretion to determine whether a payout is made to the participant, and the amount of any such payout.  

Employees whose termination occurs as the result of death or Disability shall be eligible to receive a prorated Plan Award for the Performance Period in which the termination occurs in an amount based upon the employee’s eligible earnings earned during the Plan Year. The prorated Plan Award for the Performance Period will be determined based upon actual achievement levels for Bank-wide performance goals and Target achievement levels for individual and/or team goals, and will not be subject to an EVCS modifier. Such employees will also be eligible to receive deferred awards earned but not yet approved for payout from periods occurring prior to the Performance Period. All payouts of deferred awards from prior periods will be based on actual achievement levels attained during such periods, and will not be subject to an EVCS modifier. All awards will be payable in a single lump sum typically within 75 days, but in any event by the end of the calendar year, following the end of the Performance Period that the death or Disability occurred.  

Employees whose termination occurs as the result of a Retirement or Reduction in Force are eligible to receive a prorated Plan Award for the Performance Period in which the termination occurs in an amount based upon the employee’s eligible earnings earned during the Plan Year  unless otherwise provided for herein or in any Executive Employment Agreement. The prorated Plan Award will be determined based upon actual achievement levels for Bank-wide performance goals and Target achievement levels for individual and/or team goals, and will not be subject to an EVCS modifier. Such employees will also be eligible to receive deferred awards earned but not yet approved for payout from periods occurring prior to the Performance Period. The amount of payouts on deferred awards from prior periods, as well as any portion of the prorated Plan Award that constitutes Deferred Awards, will be determined in accordance with the terms of the Plan unless otherwise provided for herein or in any Executive Employment Agreement. All payments will  be made typically within 75 days, but in any event by the end of the the calendar year, following the Performance Period or Deferral Period, as applicable.

A participant who is transferred, promoted, or demoted during a Performance Period may receive a prorated Plan Award based on the actual time in each position during the Performance Period. All payments will be made typically within 75 days, but in any event by the end of the calendar year, following the Performance Period or Deferral Period, as applicable.

An employee who receives an Annual Award under the Plan may defer the payment of the Annual Award by executing a timely deferral election under the BEP. Any election to defer the payment of an Annual Award must be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Treasury regulations relating thereto (“Section 409A”), and the BEP. No election to defer the payment of an Annual Award shall become effective until twelve (12) months after the deferral election is made, and the payment of the Annual Award must be deferred for a period of at least five (5) years beyond the date such Annual Award would otherwise have been paid.

In the event an employee is considered a Specified Employee, payment of benefits under this Plan shall not commence until six months following the employee’s separation from service as defined under Section 409A.   

IV.    Administration of the Plan
The Bank’s Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for the Plan, including its amendment, replacement or termination. The HRC has the full power and authority of the Board to construe, interpret and administer the Plan. Any decision arising out of or in connection with the construction, interpretation or administration of the Plan lies within the HRC’s absolute discretion and is binding on all parties.  

The HRC shall:

		
	•
	Approve Bank-wide performance goals.

		
	•
	Approve the range of potential payout opportunities for Plan participants.

		
	•
	After the end of a Performance Period, approve any Annual Awards.

		
	•
	After the end of the Deferral Period, approve any Deferred Awards for qualifying eligible officers.

		
	•
	Render any decisions necessary with regard to the interpretation of the Plan.

Day-to-day administration of the Plan is delegated to those in the Bank responsible for Human Resources functions.  

V.     Miscellaneous Provisions

The Plan, in whole or in part, may at any time or from time to time be amended, suspended or reinstated and may at any time be terminated by the HRC.

No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the participants, affect the rights of the participants to any payout previously approved by the HRC.

No participant has the right to alienate, assign, encumber, or pledge his or her interest in any payout under the Plan, voluntarily or involuntarily, and any attempt to do so is void.

This document is a complete statement of the Plan and supersedes all prior plans, representations and proposals written or oral relating to its subject matter. The Bank is not bound by or liable to any participant for any representation, promise or inducement made by any person which is not expressed in this document. 

This Plan shall not be considered a contract of employment and nothing in the Plan shall be construed as providing participants any assurance of continued employment for any definite period of time, nor any assurance of current or future compensation. This Plan shall not, in any manner, limit the Bank’s right to terminate compensation and employment at its will, with or without cause.

Participation in the Plan and the right to receive awards under the Plan shall not give a participant any proprietary interest in the Bank or any of its assets. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed as a guarantee that the assets of the Bank shall be sufficient to pay any benefits to any person. A participant shall for all purposes be a general creditor of the Bank. Each payment shall be from the general assets of the Bank.

The Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the State of Iowa except to the extent superseded by federal law.

It is intended that the awarding, vesting and payment of any award will comply with Section 409A, so as not to subject any participant to the payment of any interest or tax penalty, provided, however, that neither the Bank, the HRC, the Board, or any directors, officers, employees, consultants or other agents shall be liable to a participant or otherwise responsible for any such interest and tax penalties. Neither the Bank nor the employee may accelerate a payment into a calendar year not specified in the Plan nor defer or postpone a payment into a year following the calendar year specified in the Plan, except as may be permitted by Section 409A.

	Core Product Utilization (15%)

A measure of the usage of the Bank’s core products (advances, LOCs and MPF/MPP/MPF Xtra) by its members. 

	Member Focus
	The Core Product Utilization (CPU) ratio is measured at each month-end and shows if a member is utilizing an advance, a letter of credit (LOC), or has an MPF/MPP loan outstanding on the Bank’s books or has delivered an MPF Xtra loan during the month. The CPU ratio is equal to the number of members with activity with the Bank (i.e., a member has an outstanding advance, LOC, MPF/MPP loan, and/or has delivered an MPF Xtra loan) divided by the total number of members. At year-end, the monthly figures will be averaged to arrive at a figure that will be used to determine the level of achievement on this goal.  
This goal captures the core products offered to FHLB Des Moines members. The measures were determined based upon the 3-year minimum and maximum to set threshold and maximum levels. This is the same criteria used to set the ranges for 2016.

	60.2%
	65.7%
	67.2%

	Advance Penetration (15%)

A measure of the average advance to assets ratio of the Bank’s depository members.
	Member Focus
	The Advance Penetration ratio is a simple average of monthly average total advances divided by 3rd Quarter 2016 member assets reported on the member regulatory report for all active member banks, thrifts, and credit unions as of 12/31/16. Member mergers are handled retrospectively, and new members during 2017 are not included.
This goal will capture all depository members and treat each equally regardless of size (i.e. not weighted by assets). Like the core product utilization goal, the threshold and maximum levels were based on the three year minimum and maximum levels. Target was set at the average level for 2016.

Exhibit 2

Deferred Award Payout Determination

The Deferred Award earned in 2017 will be paid in 2021.  The actual amount of the award paid in 2021 will depend principally on the Bank’s average EVCS in 2017, modified by a 90 percent-110 percent for the average EVCS in the year 2020. Modifying the amount of award paid using the level of the Bank’s EVCS over the final year ensures that over the interim period, management continues to operate the Bank in a profitable and prudent manner. It also ensures that management does not take short-term measures in 2017 to secure a long-term incentive award in 2021 that would be detrimental to the Bank over the long-term.

The EVCS modifier for the Deferred Award is as follows:

		
	◦
	If the average quarterly EVCS for 2020 is less than $90 per share, the modifier would be zero, resulting in no Deferred Award. 

		
	◦
	If the average quarterly EVCS for 2020 is $90 per share, the modifier would equal 90%, meaning that actual awards would equal 90% of the potential award.

		
	◦
	For every dollar that the average quarterly EVCS for 2020 exceeds $90 per share, one percentage point would be added to the multiplier of 90% up to a maximum multiplier of 110%.

For example, if the Bank were to achieve maximum on the 2017 Bank-wide business performance goals and individual/team goals and if EVCS were to average $110 per share or more in 2020, then the absolute maximum Deferred Award payouts under the Plan would be as follows:
 
	
					
	 
	Payout As a % of Base Salary at Excess/Maximum Achievement Level
	

	Maximum Payout with Multiplier at 110%
	

	 
	 
	 

	Tier 1
	50.00
	%
	55.00
	%

	Tier 2
	40.00
	%
	44.00
	%

	Tier 3
	30.00
	%
	33.00
	%

	Tier 4
	18.40
	%
	20.24
	%

In addition to the modifier described above, the HRC may consider other factors, including:

		
	1.
	Operational errors or omissions that result in material revisions to the financial results, information submitted to the FHFA, or data used to determine incentive payouts;

		
	2.
	Untimely submission of information to the SEC, OF and/or FHFA; or 

		
	3.
	The Bank fails to make sufficient progress, as determined by the FHFA, in the timely remediation of examination, monitoring and other supervisory findings and matters requiring attention.

on.

The HRC shall consider the relevant facts and circumstances and reduce incentive awards commensurate with the materiality of the exception relative to the Bank’s financial and operational performance and financial reporting responsibilities.EX-4.1

pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or the penalty or excise tax provisions of the Code relating to employee benefit plans (as defined in Section 3 of ERISA), and no event, transaction or condition has occurred or exists that could,

subject to Title IV of ERISA determined using information contained in the most recent valuation completed for each Plan on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in such Plan’s most recent actuarial valuation
report, did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities by more than $60,000,000 in the case of any single Plan and by more than $60,000,000 in the aggregate for all Plans. The term

SECTION 8. PAYMENT OF THE NOTES. 

Section 8.1 Required Prepayments. As provided therein, the entire unpaid principal balance of each Note shall be due and payable
on the Maturity Date thereof. 
 Section 8.2 Optional Prepayments. The Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided
below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes, in an amount not less than 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so
prepaid, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of such prepayment and the Make-Whole Amount, if any, determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The Company will give each holder of a Note written notice of
each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 10 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment, unless the Company and the Required Holders agree to another time period pursuant to Section 17.
Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with
Section 8.3), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer of the Company as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount,

Each purchase made pursuant to Section 8.5 or prepayment made pursuant to Section 8.6 or Section 8.7 shall be applied only to the Notes of the holders who are participating in such purchase or prepayment. 

  
 -20- 

 Section 8.4 Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In the case of each optional prepayment of
Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the
applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and the Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such
principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note. 

Section 8.5 Purchase of Notes. The Company will not, and will not permit any Affiliate to, purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise
acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with this Agreement and the Notes or (b) pursuant to an offer to purchase made by the Company or an
Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions. Any such offer shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and
shall remain open for at least 20 Business Days. If the holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the remaining holders of such fact and the expiration date
for the acceptance by holders of Notes of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining holder at least five Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer. The Company will promptly
cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes. 

Section 8.6 Change of Control. 

(a) Promptly and in any event within five Business Days after any Responsible Officer of the Parent has knowledge of the
occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall give written notice thereof to each holder of a Note, which notice shall (1) refer specifically to this Section 8.6 and describe the Change of Control in reasonable detail (including the
Persons party thereto), (2) specify a Business Day not less than 30 days and not more than 45 days after the date of such notice (the “Control Prepayment Date”) and specify the Control Response Date (as defined below) and
(3) offer to prepay on the Control Prepayment Date the Notes of such holder, at 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with interest accrued thereon to the Control Prepayment Date, but without any Make-Whole Amount or premium. Each
holder of a Note shall notify the Company of such holder’s acceptance or rejection of such offer by giving written notice of such acceptance or rejection to the Company on a date at least 10 days prior to the Control Prepayment Date (such date
10 days prior to the Control Prepayment Date being the “Control Response Date”), and the Company shall prepay on the Control Prepayment Date all Notes held by each holder that has accepted such offer in accordance with this
Section 8.6(a) at a price in respect of each such Note held by such holder equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with interest accrued thereon to the Control Prepayment Date, but without any Make-Whole Amount or premium. 

  
 -21- 

 (b) A “Change of Control” will be deemed to have occurred for
purposes of Section 8.6(a) upon (a) the acquisition of ownership, directly or indirectly, beneficially (within the meaning of Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act) or of record by any Person or group (within the meaning of Sections
13d and 14d of the Exchange Act), other than the Current Holder Group, of shares representing more than 30% of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Parent; or (b) if, at any time
during any period of 24 consecutive months, a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Parent cease to be composed of individuals (1) who were members of that board of directors on the first day of such period, (2) whose
election or nomination to that board of directors was approved by individuals referred to in clause (1) above that constituted, at the time of such election or nomination, at least a majority of that board of directors, or (3) whose
election or nomination to that board of directors was approved by individuals referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above that constituted, at the time of such election or nomination, at least a majority of that board of directors. For the
avoidance of doubt, the consummation of the G&K Acquisition shall not be considered a “Change of Control” hereunder. 

Section 8.7 Offer to Prepay Upon Sale of Assets. 

(a) Notice and Offer. In the event of a sale, lease or other disposition of a “substantial part” (as defined
in Section 10.6) of the assets of the Parent and/or its Subsidiaries where the Company has elected to apply all or any portion of the net proceeds of such sale, lease or other disposition pursuant to Section 10.6(b), the Company shall, no
later than the 305th day following the date of such sale, lease or other disposition, give written notice of such event (a “Sale of Assets Prepayment Event”) to each holder of a Note. Such notice shall contain, and shall constitute,
an irrevocable offer to prepay a Ratable Portion of the Notes held by such holder on the date specified in such notice (the “Sale of Assets Prepayment Date”) which date shall be a Business Day not less than 30 days and not more than
60 days after such notice. 
 (b) Acceptance and Payment. A holder of Notes may accept or reject the offer to prepay
pursuant to this Section 8.7 by causing a notice of such acceptance or rejection to be delivered to the Company at least 10 days prior to the Sale of Assets Prepayment Date. A failure by a holder of the Notes to respond to an offer to prepay
made pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such offer by such holder. If so accepted, such offered prepayment in respect of the Ratable Portion of the Notes of each holder that has accepted such offer shall
be due and payable on the Sale of Assets Prepayment Date. Such offered prepayment shall be made at 100% of the aggregate Ratable Portion of the Notes of each holder that has accepted such offer, together with accrued and unpaid interest on that
portion of the Notes then being prepaid accrued to the Sale of Assets Prepayment Date but without any Make-Whole Amount or premium. 

  
 -22- 

 (c) Officer’s Certificate. Each offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to
this Section 8.7 shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed by a Senior Financial Officer of the Company and dated the date of such offer, specifying: (1) the Sale of Assets Prepayment Date; (2) that such offer is being made
pursuant to this Section 8.7 and that the failure by a holder to respond to such offer by the deadline established in Section 8.7(b) shall result in such offer to such holder being deemed rejected; (3) the Ratable Portion of each such
Note offered to be prepaid; (4) the interest that would be due on the Ratable Portion of each such Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Sale of Assets Prepayment Date; (5) that no Make-Whole Amount or premium is payable in connection
with any such prepayment; (6) that the conditions of this Section 8.7 have been satisfied and (7) in reasonable detail, a description of the nature and date of the Sale of Assets Prepayment Event giving rise to such offer of
prepayment. 
 Section 8.8 Make-Whole Amount. 

“Make-Whole Amount” shall mean, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the
Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of
determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings: 
 “Called Principal”
shall mean, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires. 

“Discounted Value” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by
discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a
discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal. 

“Reinvestment Yield” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to
maturity implied by the “ask-side” yield(s) reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1”
(or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of
such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (a) converting U.S.
Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between the “ask-side” yields Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run
U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places
as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note. 

  
 -23- 

 If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not
ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for
the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for
the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such
implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant
maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note. 

“Remaining Average Life” shall mean, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by
dividing (a) such Called Principal into (b) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (1) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (2) the number of years,
computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled
Payment. 
 “Remaining Scheduled Payments” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all
payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such
Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to
be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.4 or Section 12.1. 
 “Settlement Date”
shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the
context requires. 
 Section 8.9 Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary
notwithstanding, (a) subject to clause (b), any payment of interest on any Note that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation
of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; and (b) any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount on any Note (including principal due on the Maturity Date of such Note) that is due on a date that is not a Business Day
shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

full force and effect the legal existence of each Subsidiary (unless, except in the case of the Company, merged into the Company, the Parent or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of the Company, the Parent and each Subsidiary
unless, in the good faith judgment of the Parent, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such corporate existence, right or franchise would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 9.6 Notes and Guaranties to Rank Pari Passu. 

(a) The Notes and all other obligations of the Company under this Agreement are and at all times shall remain direct and senior

 Section 9.9 Additional Subsidiary Guarantors. 

(a) The Company will cause any Subsidiary which (x) becomes a co-obligor or guarantor or direct or indirect keepwell

Exchange of Notes. Upon surrender of any Note to the Company at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 18(3)), for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a surrender for
registration of transfer accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered holder of such Note or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the relevant name, address and other
information for notices of each transferee of such Note or part thereof), within 10 Business Days thereafter, the Company shall execute and deliver, at the Company’s expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes of the same series
(as requested by the holder thereof) in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit 1(a) or 1(b), as applicable. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no
interest shall have been paid thereon. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than
$100,000, provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes of a series, one Note of such series may be in a denomination of less than $100,000. Any transferee, by its acceptance of a
Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representation set forth in Section 6.3. 

Section 13.3 Replacement of Notes. Upon receipt by the Company at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all
as specified in Section 18(3)) of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note (which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional Investor, notice from such
Institutional Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and 

  
 -39- 

 (a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it (provided that if the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an original Holder or another holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least $50,000,000 or a Qualified Institutional Buyer, such Person’s own
unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or 
 (b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation thereof, 
 the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver not more than five Business Days following satisfaction of such
conditions, in lieu thereof, a new Note of the same series, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or
mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. 
 SECTION 14. PAYMENTS ON
NOTES. 
 Section 14.1 Place of Payment. Subject to Section 14.2, payments of principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest becoming due and payable on the Notes shall be made in New York, New York at the principal office of Bank of America, N.A. in such jurisdiction. The Company may at
any time, by notice to each holder of a Note, change the place of payment of the Notes so long as such place of payment shall be either the principal office of the Company in such jurisdiction or the principal office of a bank or trust company in
such jurisdiction. 
 Section 14.2 Home Office Payment. So long as any Holder or its nominee shall be the holder of any Note,
and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 14.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Company will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, interest and all
other amounts becoming due hereunder by the method and at the address specified for such purpose for such Holder on Schedule A, or by such other method or at such other address as such Holder shall have from time to time specified to the
Company in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment
in full of any Note, such Holder shall surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently designated by the Company pursuant to
Section 14.1. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by any Holder or its nominee, such Holder will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid
thereon or surrender such Note to the Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee
of any Note purchased by a Holder under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Holders have made in this Section 14.2. 

  
 -40- 

 SECTION 15. EXPENSES, ETC. 

Section 15.1 Transaction Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Company will pay all
costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees of a special counsel and, if reasonably required by the Required Holders, local or other counsel) incurred by each Holder and each other holder of a Note in connection with
such transactions and in connection with any amendments, waivers or consents under or in respect of this Agreement, any Guaranty or the Notes (whether or not such amendment, waiver or consent becomes effective), including, without limitation:
(a) the costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or defending (or determining whether or how to enforce or defend) any rights under this Agreement, any Guaranty or the Notes or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or informal
investigative demand issued in connection with this Agreement, any Guaranty or the Notes, or by reason of being a holder of any Note and (b) the costs and expenses, including financial advisors’ fees, incurred in connection with the
insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, the Parent or any Subsidiary or in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby, by any Guaranty and by the Notes. The Company will pay, and will save each Holder and
each other holder of a Note harmless from, (1) all claims in respect of any fees, costs or expenses, if any, of brokers and finders (other than those, if any, retained by a Holder or other holder in connection with its purchase of the Notes)
and (2) any and all wire transfer fees that any bank deducts from any payment under such Note to such holder or otherwise charges to a holder of a Note with respect to a payment under such Note. 

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

SECTION 16. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES;
ENTIRE AGREEMENT. 
 All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the amendment and restatement of the Existing Notes, the transfer by any Holder of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note and may be relied upon by any subsequent holder of a Note,
regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of such Holder or any other holder of a Note. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall
be deemed representations and warranties of the Company under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement and the Notes embody the entire agreement and understanding between the Holders and the Company and supersede all prior
agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. 
 SECTION 17. AMENDMENT AND
WAIVER. 
 Section 17.1 Requirements. This Agreement and the Notes may be amended, and the observance of any term
hereof or of the Notes may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders, except that (a) no amendment or waiver of any of Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 21, or any
defined term (as it is used in any such Section), will be effective as to any holder of Notes unless consented to by 

  
 -41- 

 
such holder of Notes in writing and (b) no amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of all of the holders of Notes at the time outstanding (1) subject to Section 12
relating to acceleration or rescission, change the amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate or change the time of payment or method of computation (i) of interest on the Notes or (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, (2) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment or waiver or (3) amend any of Sections 8, 11(a), 11(b),
12, 17 or 20. 
 Section 17.2 Solicitation of Holders of Notes. 

(a) Solicitation. The Company will provide each holder of a Note with sufficient information, sufficiently far in
advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof, of any Guaranty or of the Notes. The
Company will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to this Section 17 or any Guaranty to each holder of a Note promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or
receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes. 
 (b) Payment. The Company will not, directly or
indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any holder of a Note as consideration for or as an inducement to
the entering into by such holder of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or of any Guaranty or any Note unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support is
concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each holder of a Note then outstanding even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment. 

(c) Consent in Contemplation of Transfer. Any consent given pursuant to this Section 17 or any Guaranty by a holder
of a Note that has transferred or has agreed to transfer its Note to the Company or any Affiliate in connection with such consent shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted
or to be effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other holders of Notes that were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force
or effect except solely as to such holder. 
 Section 17.3 Binding Effect, Etc. Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided
in this Section 17 or any Guaranty applies equally to all holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Company or the relevant Guarantor, as applicable, without regard to whether such Note has
been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course
of dealing between the Company and any holder of a Note and no delay in exercising any rights hereunder, under any Guaranty or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note. 

  
 -42- 

 Section 17.4 Notes Held by the Company, Etc. Solely for the purpose of determining
whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement, any Guaranty or the Notes, or have directed the
taking of any action provided herein, in any Guaranty or in the Notes to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by the
Company, the Parent or any Affiliate shall be deemed not to be outstanding. 
 SECTION 18. NOTICES. 

Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 7.4, all notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and
sent (a) by telecopy if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by an internationally recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid) or (b) by an internationally recognized overnight delivery service
(charges prepaid). Any such notice must be sent: 
 (1) if to any Holder or its nominee, to such Holder or such nominee at
the address specified for such communications in Schedule A, or at such other address as such Holder or its nominee shall have specified to the Company in writing pursuant to this Section 18; 

(2) if to any other holder of any Note, to such holder at such address as such other holder shall have specified to the Company
in writing pursuant to this Section 18; or 
 (3) if to the Company, to the Company at its address set forth at the
beginning hereof to the attention of Treasurer or at such other address as the Company shall have specified to the holder of each Note in writing. 

Notices under this Section 18 will be deemed given only when actually received. 

Each holder of a Note undertakes to promptly (x) give the Company notice of any change in its address and (y) respond to any
auditor’s request for confirmation of amounts outstanding in respect of its Notes. 
 SECTION 19. REPRODUCTION
OF DOCUMENTS. 
 This Agreement and all documents relating hereto, including, without limitation,
(a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any Holder on the Original Closing Date (except the Notes themselves) or on the Effective Date and (c) financial statements,
certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to any holder of a Note, may be reproduced by such holder by any photographic, photostatic, electronic, digital or other similar process and such holder may destroy any original
document so reproduced. The Company agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the
original is in existence and whether or 

  
 -43- 

 
not such reproduction was made by such holder of a Note in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible
in evidence. This Section 19 shall not prohibit the Company or any other holder of a Note from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of
any such reproduction. 
 SECTION 20. Confidential Information. 

For the purposes of this Section 20, “Confidential Information” shall mean information delivered to any Holder by or on
behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received
by such Holder as being confidential information of the Company or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Holder prior to the time of such disclosure,
(b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Holder or any Person acting on such Holder’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Holder other than through disclosure by the Company or any Subsidiary
or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Holder under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Each Holder will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted
by such Holder in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Holder, provided that such Holder may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (1) such Holder’s directors, trustees,
officers, employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by such Holder’s Notes), (2) such Holder’s auditors, financial advisors and
other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 20, (3) any other holder of any Note, (4) any Institutional Investor to which such Holder sells or
offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 20), (5) any Person from which such Holder
offers to purchase any Security of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 20), (6) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction
over such Holder, (7) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Holder’s investment portfolio or (8) any other Person to
which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (i) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Holder, (ii) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (iii) in connection
with any litigation to which such Holder is a party or (iv) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Holder may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement
or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Holder’s Notes, any Guaranty and this Agreement. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of
this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested
by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying this Section 20. 

  
 -44- 

 In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Parent or its
Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Holder or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a
secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 20, this Section 20 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Holder or such holder and the Company and/or the Parent, this Section 20 shall supersede
any such other confidentiality undertaking. 
 SECTION 21. MISCELLANEOUS. 

Section 21.1 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the
parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not. 

Section 21.2 Accounting Terms; GAAP. All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the
meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (a) all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP and (b) all financial statements
shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP. If the Company notifies the holders of the Notes that the Company requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the Effective Date in GAAP or in the
application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Required Holders notify the Company that the Required Holders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or
after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective (“Static GAAP”) until such
notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith. During any period that compliance with the covenants shall be determined pursuant to Static GAAP, the Company shall include relevant reconciliations in reasonable
detail between GAAP and Static GAAP with respect to the applicable covenant compliance calculations contained in each certificate of a Senior Financial Officer of the Company and the Parent delivered pursuant to Section 7.2(a) during such
period. For purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 9, Section 10 and the definition of “Indebtedness”), any election by the Parent or any Subsidiary to measure any financial
liability using fair value (as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 825-10-25 – Fair Value Option, International Accounting Standard 39 – Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not been made. 

Section 21.3 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by
law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

  
 -45- 

 Section 21.4 Construction, Etc. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed
(absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other
covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person. 

Section 21.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but
all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto. 

Section 21.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall
be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State. 

Section 21.7 Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. 

(a) The Company irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by
way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such
court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 

(b) The Company consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Notes in any suit, action or proceeding of
the nature referred to in Section 21.7(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to it at its address specified in Section 18 or at
such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. The Company agrees that such service upon receipt (1) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action
or proceeding and (2) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a
delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service. 

  
 -46- 

 (c) Nothing in this Section 21.7 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve
process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against the Company in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in
one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction. 
 (d) The parties hereto hereby waive trial by jury in any action brought on or with respect to
this Agreement, the Notes or any other document executed in connection herewith or therewith.

THEREFORE, as required by Section 4.6 of the Note Purchase Agreement and in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency whereof are hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor does

 DEFINITIONS. 

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement unless defined herein or the context shall
otherwise require.

full and prompt payment of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on the Notes from time to time outstanding, fees, expenses, indemnifications and all other amounts due under the Note Purchase Agreement, as and when such payments

 GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE. 

This is an irrevocable, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance (and not merely of collection) and the Guarantor hereby
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to require that any action on or in respect of any Note or the Note Purchase Agreement be brought against the Company or any other Person or that resort be had to any direct or indirect
security for the Notes or for this Guaranty or any other remedy. Any Holder may, at its option, proceed hereunder against the Guarantor in the first instance to collect monies when due, the payment of which is guaranteed hereby, without first
proceeding against the 

  
 E-PGA-5 

 
Company or any other Person and without first resorting to any direct or indirect security for the Notes or for this Guaranty or any other remedy. The liability of the Guarantor hereunder shall
in no way be affected or impaired by any acceptance by any Holder of any direct or indirect security for, or other guaranties of, any indebtedness, liability or obligation of the Company or any other Person to any Holder or by any failure, delay,
neglect or omission by any Holder to realize upon or protect any such guarantees, indebtedness, liability or obligation or any notes or other instruments evidencing the same or any direct or indirect security therefor or by any approval, consent,
waiver, or other action taken, or omitted to be taken by any such Holder. 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING
TO THE GUARANTY. 
 (a) The Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that any Holder or Holders from
time to time, with or without any further notice to or assent from the Guarantor may, without in any manner affecting the liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty, and upon such terms and conditions as any such Holder or Holders may deem
advisable: 
 (1) extend in whole or in part (by renewal or otherwise), modify, change, compromise, release or extend the
duration of the time for the performance or payment of any indebtedness, liability or obligation of the Company or of any other Person (including, without limitation, any other guarantor) secondarily or otherwise liable for any indebtedness,
liability or obligation of the Company on the Notes, or waive any Default or Event of Default with respect thereto, or waive, modify, amend or change any provision of the Note Purchase Agreement, any other agreement or waive this Guaranty; or 

(2) sell, release, surrender, modify, impair, exchange or substitute any and all property, of any nature and from whomsoever
received, held by, or for the benefit of, any such Holder as direct or indirect security for the payment or performance of any indebtedness, liability or obligation of the Company or of any other Person (including, without limitation, any other
guarantor) secondarily or otherwise liable for any indebtedness, liability or obligation of the Company on the Notes; or 

(3) settle, adjust or compromise any claim of the Company against any other Person (including, without limitation, any other
guarantor) secondarily or otherwise liable for any indebtedness, liability or obligation of the Company on the Notes. 
 The Guarantor
hereby ratifies and confirms any such extension, renewal, change, sale, release, waiver, surrender, exchange, modification, amendment, impairment, substitution, settlement, adjustment or compromise and that the same shall be binding upon it, and
hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all defenses, counterclaims or offsets which it might or could have by reason thereof, it being understood that the Guarantor shall at all times be bound by this Guaranty and remain
liable hereunder. 
 (b) The Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law: 

(1) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by the Holders or of the creation, renewal or accrual of any liability of the
Company, present or future, or of the reliance of such Holders upon this Guaranty (it being understood that every indebtedness, liability and obligation described in Section 2 hereof shall conclusively be presumed to have been created,
contracted or incurred in reliance upon the execution of this Guaranty); 

  
 E-PGA-6 

 (2) demand of payment by any Holder from the Company or any other Person
(including, without limitation, any other guarantor) indebted in any manner on or for any of the indebtedness, liabilities or obligations hereby guaranteed; and 

(3) presentment for the payment by any Holder or any other Person of the Notes or any other instrument, protest thereof and
notice of its dishonor to any party thereto and to the Guarantor. 
 The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty and the rights of
any Holder to enforce such obligations by any proceedings, whether by action at law, suit in equity or otherwise, shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination, whether by reason of any claim of any character
whatsoever or otherwise and shall not be subject to any defense, set-off, counterclaim (other than any compulsory counterclaim), recoupment or termination whatsoever (other than the payment in full of the obligations of the Company). 

(c) The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be binding upon the Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and shall remain in full
force and effect irrespective of: 
 (1) the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, the Note
Purchase Agreement or any other agreement or any of the terms of any thereof, the continuance of any obligation on the part of the Company or any other Person on or in respect of the Notes or under the Note Purchase Agreement or any other agreement
or the power or authority or the lack of power or authority of the Company to issue the Notes or the Company to execute and deliver the Note Purchase Agreement or any other agreement or of the Guarantor to execute and deliver this Guaranty or to

(13) any act or failure to act with regard to the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty or any other agreement or
anything which might vary the risk of the Guarantor or any other Person; or 
 (14) any other circumstance which might
otherwise constitute a defense available to (other than the payment in full of the obligations of the Company), or a discharge of, the Guarantor or any other Person in respect of the obligations of the Guarantor or other Person under this Guaranty
or any other agreement; 
 provided that the specific enumeration of the above-mentioned acts, failures or omissions shall not be deemed to exclude
any other acts, failures or omissions, though not specifically mentioned above, it being the purpose and intent of this Guaranty and the parties hereto that the obligations of the Guarantor shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be
discharged, impaired or varied except by the payment of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on the Notes in accordance with their respective terms whenever the same shall become due and
payable as in the Notes provided, at the place specified in and all in the manner and with the effect provided in the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement, as each may be amended or modified from time to time. Without limiting the foregoing, it is
understood that repeated and successive demands may be made and recoveries may be had hereunder as and when, from time to time, the Company shall default under or in respect of the terms of the Notes or the Note Purchase Agreement and that
notwithstanding recovery hereunder for or in respect of any given default or defaults by the Company under the Notes or the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to each and every subsequent
default. 
 (d) All rights of any Holder under this Guaranty shall be considered to be transferred or assigned at any time or from time to
time upon the transfer of any Note held by such Holder whether with or without the consent of or notice to the Guarantor under this Guaranty or to the Company. 

  
 E-PGA-9 

 (e) To the extent of any payments made under this Guaranty, the Guarantor shall be subrogated to
the rights of the Holder or Holders upon whose Notes such payment was made, but the Guarantor covenants and agrees that such right of subrogation and any and all claims of the Guarantor against the Company, any endorser or other guarantor or against
any of their respective properties shall be junior and subordinate in right of payment to the prior final payment in cash in full of all of the Notes and satisfaction by the Company of its obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement and by the
Guarantor of its obligations under this Guaranty (in each case, other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim shall have then been asserted), and the Guarantor shall not take any action to enforce such right of subrogation,
and the Guarantor shall not accept any payment in respect of such right of subrogation, until all of the Notes and all amounts payable by the Guarantor hereunder have been finally paid in cash in full and all of the obligations of the Company under
the Note Purchase Agreement and of the Guarantor under this Guaranty (in each case, other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim shall have then been asserted) have been satisfied. Notwithstanding any right of the Guarantor
to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from the Company, all rights, Liens and security interests of the Guarantor, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of the Company shall be and hereby are
subordinated to the rights, if any, of the Holders in those assets. The Guarantor shall not have any right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of the
Notes and the obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim shall have then been asserted) of the Company under the Note Purchase Agreement shall have been paid in cash in full and satisfied. 

(f) The Guarantor agrees that to the extent the Company or any other Person makes any payment on any Note, which payment or any part thereof
is subsequently invalidated, voided, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered, rescinded or is required to be retained by or repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other Person under any bankruptcy code, common law, or
equitable cause, then and to the extent of such payment, the obligation or the part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect with respect to the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, as if said
payment had not been made. The liability of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be reduced or discharged, in whole or in part, by any payment to any Holder from any source that is thereafter paid, returned or refunded in whole or in part by reason of
the assertion of a claim of any kind relating thereto, including, but not limited to, any claim for breach of contract, breach of warranty, preference, illegality, invalidity or fraud asserted by any account debtor or by any other Person. 

(g) No Holder shall be under any obligation: (1) to marshal any assets in favor of the Guarantor or in payment of any or all of the
liabilities of the Company under or in respect of the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement or the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder or (2) to pursue any other remedy that the Guarantor may or may not be able to pursue itself and that may
lighten the Guarantor’s burden, any right to which the Guarantor hereby expressly waives. 

  
 E-PGA-10 

 (h) If an event permitting the acceleration of the maturity of the principal amount of the Notes
shall at any time have occurred and be continuing and such acceleration shall at such time be prevented or the right of any Holder to receive any payment under any Note shall at such time be delayed or otherwise affected by reason of the pendency
against the Company of a case or proceeding under a bankruptcy or insolvency law, the Guarantor agrees that, for purposes of this Guaranty and its obligations hereunder, the maturity of such principal amount shall be deemed to have been accelerated
with the same effect as if the Holders had accelerated the same in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, and the Guarantor shall forthwith pay such accelerated principal of, Make-Whole
Amount, if any, and interest on the Notes and any other amounts guaranteed hereunder. 
 NOTE PURCHASE
AGREEMENT PROVISIONS 
 (a) The Guarantor hereby makes to the Note Holders all of the representations and
warranties made by the Company with respect to or in any way relating to such Guarantor or its Subsidiaries in the Note Purchase Agreement as if the same were set forth herein in full. 

(b) The Guarantor hereby covenants that it will comply with all covenants which the Company is to cause the Guarantor or its Subsidiaries to
comply with under the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes. 
 AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS AND
CONSENTS. 
 (a) This Guaranty may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof may be waived (either retroactively or
prospectively), only with the written consent of the Guarantor and the Required Holders, except that (1) no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Sections 3 or 4, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as
to any Holder unless consented to by such Holder in writing and (2) no amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of each Holder, (i) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the Holders of which are required to
consent to any such amendment or waiver or (ii) amend Section 2, Section 5 or this Section 6. 
 (b) The Guarantor will
provide each Holder with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such Holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect
of any of the provisions hereof. The Guarantor will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6 to each Holder promptly following the date on which it is
executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite Holders. 
 (c) Any consent given pursuant to this
Section 6 by a Holder that has transferred or has agreed to transfer its Note to the Company, the Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Company in connection with such consent shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such Holder,
and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other Holders that were acquired under the same or similar
conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such Holder. 
 (d) The Guarantor will not directly or indirectly
pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any Holder as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by such Holder of any waiver or
amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support is concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each Holder even if such Holder
did not consent to such waiver or amendment. 

  
 E-PGA-11 

 (e) Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 6 applies equally to
all Holders of Notes affected thereby and is binding upon them and upon each future holder and upon the Guarantor. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant or agreement not expressly amended or waived or impair
any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Guarantor and any Holder nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any Holder. As used herein, the term “this Guaranty” and
references thereto shall mean this Guaranty as it may from time to time be amended or otherwise modified. 
 (f) Solely for the purpose of
determining whether the Holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Guaranty, Notes directly or indirectly owned by
the Guarantor, the Company or any of their Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding. 
 NOTICES. 

All notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and sent (a) by copy if the sender on the same day sends a
confirming copy of such notice by an internationally recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid) or (b) by an internationally recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid). Any such notice must be sent:

 E-PGA-12 

 MISCELLANEOUS. 

(a) No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to any Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each
and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Guaranty now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default, omission
or failure of performance hereunder shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof but any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle any
Holder to exercise any remedy reserved to it under this Guaranty, it shall not be necessary for such Holder to physically produce its Note in any proceedings instituted by it or to give any notice, other than such notice as may be herein expressly
required. 
 (b) The Guarantor will pay all sums becoming due under this Guaranty by the method and at the address specified for such
purpose for such Holder, in the case of a Holder that is a Note Holder, on Schedule A to the Note Purchase Agreement or by such other method or at such other address as any Holder shall have from time to time specified to the Guarantor or the
Company on behalf of the Guarantor in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of this Guaranty or any Note. 
 (c)
Any provision of this Guaranty that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

(d) This Guaranty shall be binding upon the Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder and its
successors and assigns so long as its Notes remain outstanding and unpaid. If the Guarantor enters into any consolidation or merger, pursuant to which the Guarantor is not the surviving entity (the “Successor Corporation”), the
Successor Corporation shall execute and deliver to each Holder its assumption of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition of this Guaranty (pursuant to such agreements and instruments as shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Required Holders). 
 (e) This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an
original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto. 

(f) This Guaranty shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State
of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State. 

(g) The Guarantor irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a
defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim
that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 

  
 E-PGA-13 

 (h) The Guarantor consents to process being served by or on behalf of any Holder in any suit,
action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 8(g) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to it at its address specified in
Section 7 or at such other address of which such Holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. The Guarantor agrees that such service upon receipt (1) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it
in any such suit, action or proceeding and (2) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received
as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service. 
 (i)
Nothing in Section 8(g) or 8(h) shall affect the right of any Holder to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the Holders may have to bring proceedings against the Guarantor in the courts of any appropriate
jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction. 
 (j) THE
GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR
WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN
CONNECTION HEREWITH. 
 TERMINATION. 

The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be immediately and automatically discharged and released, subject to Section 4(f),
without any further action by any Holder or any other Person upon the indefeasible payment in cash in full of the Notes and all other obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim shall have then been asserted)
hereunder and under the Note Purchase Agreement.

Restated Series A Senior Notes due April 30, 2023 
 and 

$50,000,000 3.88% Amended and Restated Series B Senior Notes due April 15, 2025 

of

This SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY AGREEMENT dated as of March 21, 2017 (this
“Guaranty”) is entered into on a joint and several basis by the undersigned, together with any entity which may become a party hereto by execution and delivery of a Guaranty Supplement in substantially the form set forth as
Exhibit A hereto (a “Guaranty Supplement”) (which parties are hereinafter referred to individually as a “Guarantor” and collectively as the “Guarantors”). 

RECITALS 

A. G&K Services, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Minnesota (the “Company”), heretofore
entered into that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated as of April 15, 2013 (the “Original Note Purchase Agreement”) with each of the purchasers listed on Schedule A thereto pursuant to which the Company issued $50,000,000
aggregate principal amount of its 3.73% Series A Senior Notes due April 15, 2023 (the “Original Series A Notes”) and $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.88% Series B Senior Notes due April 15, 2025 (the
“Original Series B Notes”; said Original Series B Notes together with the Original Series A Notes being collectively referred to herein as the “Original Notes”). 

B. Pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 15, 2016, a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Cintas Corporation, a
Washington corporation (the “Parent”), agreed to acquire the Company (the “G&K Acquisition”), and upon the consummation of the G&K Acquisition, the Company has become a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Parent.

 C. Each Guarantor is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Parent. 

D. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company requested that the current holders of the Original Notes (the “Note
Holders” said Note Holders together with their respective successors and assigns being collectively referred to herein as the “Holders”) enter into that certain Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement dated as of
March 21, 2017 (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Note Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Original Note Purchase Agreement will be
amended and restated to provide for the covenants and events of default therein to apply to the Parent and its Subsidiaries, the Original Series A Notes will be deemed amended and restated in the form of the 3.73% Amended and Restated Series A
Senior Note due April 15, 2023 attached as Exhibit 1(a) thereto and the Original Series B Notes will be deemed amended and restated in the form of the 3.88% Amended and Restated Series B Senior Note due April 15, 2025 attached thereto as
Exhibit 1(b) (the Original Notes as so amended and restated being collectively referred to herein as the “Notes”). 

  
 E-SGA-4 

 E. The Note Holders have required as a condition to the amendment and restatement of the Original
Note Purchase Agreement and the Original Notes that the undersigned execute and deliver this Guaranty and, as set forth in Section 9.9 of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Parent cause certain other Subsidiaries that from time to
time are Subsidiaries of the Parent to execute and deliver a Guaranty Supplement, and the undersigned have each agreed to execute this Guaranty and the Company and the Parent have agreed to cause certain other from time to time Subsidiaries of the
Parent to execute a Guaranty Supplement, in each case in order to induce the Note Holders to amend and restate the Original Note Purchase Agreement and the Original Notes and enter into the Note Purchase Agreement in connection therewith and thereby
benefit the Parent and its Subsidiaries. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, as required by Section 4.6 of the Note
Purchase Agreement and in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency whereof are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor does hereby covenant and agree, jointly and severally, as follows: 

DEFINITIONS. 
 Capitalized terms
used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement unless defined herein or the context shall otherwise require. 

GUARANTY OF NOTES AND NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT. 

(a) Each Guarantor jointly and severally does hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantee unto the Holders: (1) the full
and prompt payment of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on the Notes from time to time outstanding, fees, expenses, indemnifications and all other amounts due under the Note Purchase Agreement, as and when such payments shall
become due and payable whether by lapse of time, upon redemption or prepayment, by extension or by acceleration or declaration or otherwise (including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest due on overdue payments of principal,
Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest at the rate set forth in the Notes and interest accruing or becoming owing both prior to and subsequent to the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium or similar
proceeding involving the Company, whether or not allowed in such proceeding) in federal or other immediately available funds of the United States of America which at the time of payment or demand therefor shall be legal tender for the payment of
public and private debts, (2) the full and prompt performance and observance by the Company of each and all of the obligations, covenants and agreements required to be performed or owed by the Company under the terms of the Notes and the Note
Purchase Agreement and (3) the full and prompt payment, upon demand by any Holder of all costs and expenses, legal or otherwise (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees), if any, as shall have been expended or incurred in the
protection or enforcement of any rights, privileges or liabilities in favor of the Holders under or in respect of the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement or under this Guaranty or in any consultation or action in connection therewith or herewith.

  
 E-SGA-5 

 (b) To the extent that any Guarantor shall make a payment hereunder (a
“Payment”) which, taking into account all other Payments previously or concurrently made by any of the other Guarantors, exceeds the amount which such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if each Guarantor had paid the aggregate
obligations satisfied by such Payment in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s Allocable Amount (as hereinafter defined) in effect immediately prior to such Payment bore to the Aggregate Allocable Amount (as hereinafter defined) of all of the
Guarantors in effect immediately prior to the making of such Payment, then such Guarantor shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata
based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Payment; provided that each Guarantor covenants and agrees that such right of contribution and indemnification and any and all claims of such Guarantor against
any other Guarantor, any endorser or against any of their property shall be junior and subordinate in right of payment to the prior final payment in cash in full of all of the Notes and satisfaction by the Company of its obligations under the Note
Purchase Agreement and by the Guarantors of their obligations under this Guaranty and the Guarantors shall not take any action to enforce such right of contribution and indemnification, and the Guarantors shall not accept any payment in respect of
such right of contribution and indemnification, until all of the Notes and all amounts payable by the Guarantors hereunder have indefeasibly been finally paid in cash in full and all of the obligations of the Company under the Note Purchase
Agreement and of the Guarantors under this Guaranty have been satisfied 
 As of any date of determination, (1) the “Allocable
Amount” of any Guarantor shall be equal to the maximum amount which could then be claimed by the Holders under this Guaranty without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code (11 U.S.C. Sec. 101 et. seq.) or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law; and (2) the “Aggregate Allocable Amount” shall be equal to
the sum of each Guarantor’s Allocable Amount. 
 This clause (b) is intended only to define the relative rights of the Guarantors,
and nothing set forth in this clause (b) is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts to the Holders as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance herewith. 

Each Guarantor acknowledges that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of any Guarantor
to which such contribution and indemnification is owing. 
 GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND
PERFORMANCE. 
 This is an irrevocable, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance (and not merely of
collection) and each Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to require that any action on or in respect of any Note or the Note Purchase Agreement be brought against the Company or any other Person or that resort
be had to any 

  
 E-SGA-6 

 
direct or indirect security for the Notes or for this Guaranty or any other remedy. Any Holder may, at its option, proceed hereunder against any Guarantor in the first instance to collect monies
when due, the payment of which is guaranteed hereby, without first proceeding against the Company or any other Person and without first resorting to any direct or indirect security for the Notes or for this Guaranty or any other remedy. The
liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be affected or impaired by any acceptance by any Holder of any direct or indirect security for, or other guaranties of, any indebtedness, liability or obligation of the Company or any other
Person to any Holder or by any failure, delay, neglect or omission by any Holder to realize upon or protect any such guarantees, indebtedness, liability or obligation or any notes or other instruments evidencing the same or any direct or indirect
security therefor or by any approval, consent, waiver, or other action taken, or omitted to be taken by any such Holder. 
 The covenants
and agreements on the part of the Guarantors herein contained shall take effect as joint and several covenants and agreements, and references to the Guarantors shall take effect as references to each of them and none of them shall be released from
liability hereunder by reason of the guarantee ceasing to be binding as a continuing security on any other of them. 
 GENERAL
PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE GUARANTY. 
 (a) Each Guarantor hereby
consents and agrees that any Holder or Holders from time to time, with or without any further notice to or assent from any other Guarantor may, without in any manner affecting the liability of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, and upon such terms
and conditions as any such Holder or Holders may deem advisable: 
 (1) extend in whole or in part (by renewal or otherwise),
modify, change, compromise, release or extend the duration of the time for the performance or payment of any indebtedness, liability or obligation of the Company or of any other Person (including, without limitation, any other Guarantor or any other
guarantor) secondarily or otherwise liable for any indebtedness, liability or obligation of the Company on the Notes, or waive any Default or Event of Default with respect thereto, or waive, modify, amend or change any provision of the Note Purchase
Agreement, any other agreement or waive this Guaranty; or 
 (2) sell, release, surrender, modify, impair, exchange or
substitute any and all property, of any nature and from whomsoever received, held by, or for the benefit of, any such Holder as direct or indirect security for the payment or performance of any indebtedness, liability or obligation of the Company or
of any other Person (including, without limitation, any other Guarantor or any other guarantor) secondarily or otherwise liable for any indebtedness, liability or obligation of the Company on the Notes; or 

(3) settle, adjust or compromise any claim of the Company against any other Person (including, without limitation, any other
Guarantor or any other guarantor) secondarily or otherwise liable for any indebtedness, liability or obligation of the Company on the Notes. 

  
 E-SGA-7 

 Each Guarantor hereby ratifies and confirms any such extension, renewal, change, sale, release,
waiver, surrender, exchange, modification, amendment, impairment, substitution, settlement, adjustment or compromise and that the same shall be binding upon it, and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all defenses,
counterclaims or offsets which it might or could have by reason thereof, it being understood that such Guarantor shall at all times be bound by this Guaranty and remain liable hereunder. 

(b) Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law: 

(1) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by the Holders or of the creation, renewal or accrual of any liability of the
Company, present or future, or of the reliance of such Holders upon this Guaranty (it being understood that every indebtedness, liability and obligation described in Section 2 hereof shall conclusively be presumed to have been created,
contracted or incurred in reliance upon the execution of this Guaranty); 
 (2) demand of payment by any Holder from the
Company or any other Person (including, without limitation, any other Guarantor or any other guarantor) indebted in any manner on or for any of the indebtedness, liabilities or obligations hereby guaranteed; and 

(3) presentment for the payment by any Holder or any other Person of the Notes or any other instrument, protest thereof and
notice of its dishonor to any party thereto and to such Guarantor. 
 The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty and the rights
of any Holder to enforce such obligations by any proceedings, whether by action at law, suit in equity or otherwise, shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination, whether by reason of any claim of any character
whatsoever or otherwise and shall not be subject to any defense, set-off, counterclaim (other than any compulsory counterclaim), recoupment or termination whatsoever (other than the payment in full of the obligations of the Company). 

(c) The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be binding upon the Guarantors and their successors and assigns, and shall remain in
full force and effect irrespective of: 
 (1) the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, the Note
Purchase Agreement or any other agreement or any of the terms of any thereof, the continuance of any obligation on the part of the Company or any other Person on or in respect of the Notes or under the Note Purchase Agreement or any other agreement
or the power or authority or the lack of power or authority of the Company to issue the Notes or the Company to execute and deliver the Note Purchase Agreement or any other agreement or of any Guarantor to execute and deliver this Guaranty or to
perform any of its obligations hereunder or the existence or continuance of the Company or any other Person as a legal entity; or 

(2) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance by the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person
of any obligations of any kind or character whatsoever under the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty or any other agreement; or 

  
 E-SGA-8 

 (3) any creditors’ rights, bankruptcy, receivership or other insolvency
proceeding of the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person or in respect of the property of the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person or any merger, consolidation, reorganization, dissolution, liquidation, sale of all or substantially all of
the assets of or winding up of the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person; or 
 (4) impossibility or illegality of
performance on the part of the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person of its obligations under the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty or any other agreement; or 

(5) in respect of the Company or any other Person, any change of circumstances, whether or not foreseen or foreseeable, whether
or not imputable to the Company or any other Person, or other impossibility of performance through fire, explosion, accident, labor disturbance, floods, droughts, embargoes, wars (whether or not declared), civil commotion, acts of God or the public
enemy, delays or failure of suppliers or carriers, inability to obtain materials, action of any federal or state regulatory body or agency, change of law or any other causes affecting performance, or any other force majeure, whether or not
beyond the control of the Company or any other Person and whether or not of the kind hereinbefore specified; or 
 (6) any
attachment, claim, demand, charge, Lien, order, process, encumbrance or any other happening or event or reason, similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, or any withholding or diminution at the source, by reason of any taxes, assessments, expenses,
Debt, obligations or liabilities of any character, foreseen or unforeseen, and whether or not valid, incurred by or against the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person or any claims, demands, charges or Liens of any nature, foreseen or
unforeseen, incurred by the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person, or against any sums payable in respect of the Notes or under the Note Purchase Agreement or this Guaranty, so that such sums would be rendered inadequate or would be unavailable
to make the payments herein provided; or 
 (7) any order, judgment, decree, ruling or regulation (whether or not valid) of
any court of any nation or of any political subdivision thereof or any body, agency, department, official or administrative or regulatory agency of any thereof or any other action, happening, event or reason whatsoever which shall delay, interfere
with, hinder or prevent, or in any way adversely affect, the performance by the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person of its respective obligations under or in respect of the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty or any other
agreement; or 
 (8) the failure of any Guarantor to receive any benefit from or as a result of its execution, delivery and
performance of this Guaranty; or 
 (9) any failure or lack of diligence in collection or protection, failure in presentment
or demand for payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of default and of nonpayment, any failure to give notice to any Guarantor of failure of the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person to keep and perform any obligation, covenant or
agreement under the terms of the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty or any other agreement or failure to resort for payment to the Company, any Guarantor or to any other Person or to any other guaranty or to any property, security,
Liens or other rights or remedies; or 

  
 E-SGA-9 

 (10) the acceptance of any additional security or other guaranty, the advance of
additional money to the Company or any other Person, the renewal or extension of the Notes or amendments, modifications, consents or waivers with respect to the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement or any other agreement, or the sale, release,
substitution or exchange of any security for the Notes; or 
 (11) any merger or consolidation of the Company, any Guarantor
or any other Person into or with any other Person or any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any of the assets of the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person to any other Person, or any change in the ownership of any shares or other
equity interests of the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person; or 
 (12) any defense whatsoever that: (i) the
Company or any other Person might have to the payment of the Notes (including, principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest), other than payment thereof in federal or other immediately available funds or
(ii) the Company or any other Person might have to the performance or observance of any of the provisions of the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement or any other agreement, whether through the satisfaction or purported satisfaction by the
Company or any other Person of its debts due to any cause such as bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, merger, consolidation, reorganization, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up or otherwise; or 

(13) any act or failure to act with regard to the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty or any other agreement or
anything which might vary the risk of any Guarantor or any other Person; or 
 (14) any other circumstance which might
otherwise constitute a defense available to (other than the payment in full of the obligations of the Company), or a discharge of, any Guarantor or any other Person in respect of the obligations of any Guarantor or other Person under this Guaranty
or any other agreement; 
 provided that the specific enumeration of the above-mentioned acts, failures or omissions shall not be deemed to exclude
any other acts, failures or omissions, though not specifically mentioned above, it being the purpose and intent of this Guaranty and the parties hereto that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be
discharged, impaired or varied except by the payment of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on the Notes in accordance with their respective terms whenever the same shall become due and
payable as in the Notes provided, at the place specified in and all in the manner and with the effect provided in the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement, as each may be amended or modified from time to time. Without limiting the foregoing, it is
understood that repeated and successive demands may be made and recoveries may be had hereunder as and when, from time to time, the Company shall default under or in respect of the terms of the Notes or the Note Purchase Agreement and that
notwithstanding recovery hereunder for or in respect of any given default or defaults by the Company under the Notes or the Note Purchase Agreement, this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to each and every subsequent
default. 

  
 E-SGA-10 

 (d) All rights of any Holder under this Guaranty shall be considered to be transferred or
assigned at any time or from time to time upon the transfer of any Note held by such Holder whether with or without the consent of or notice to the Guarantors under this Guaranty or to the Company. 

(e) To the extent of any payments made under this Guaranty, the Guarantors shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holder or Holders upon
whose Notes such payment was made, but each Guarantor covenants and agrees that such right of subrogation and any and all claims of such Guarantor against the Company, any endorser or other Guarantor or against any of their respective properties
shall be junior and subordinate in right of payment to the prior final payment in cash in full of all of the Notes and satisfaction by the Company of its obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement and by the Guarantors of their obligations under
this Guaranty (in each case, other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim shall have then been asserted), and the Guarantors shall not take any action to enforce such right of subrogation, and the Guarantors shall not accept
any payment in respect of such right of subrogation, until all of the Notes and all amounts payable by the Guarantors hereunder have been finally paid in cash in full and all of the obligations of the Company under the Note Purchase Agreement and of
the Guarantors under this Guaranty (in each case, other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim shall have then been asserted) have been satisfied. Notwithstanding any right of any Guarantor to ask, demand, sue for, take or
receive any payment from the Company, all rights, Liens and security interests of each Guarantor, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of the Company shall be and hereby are subordinated to the rights, if any, of
the Holders in those assets. No Guarantor shall have any right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of the Notes and the obligations (other than contingent
indemnification obligations for which no claim shall have then been asserted) of the Company under the Note Purchase Agreement shall have been paid in cash in full and satisfied. 

(f) Each Guarantor agrees that to the extent the Company or any other Person makes any payment on any Note, which payment or any part thereof
is subsequently invalidated, voided, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered, rescinded or is required to be retained by or repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other Person under any bankruptcy code, common law, or
equitable cause, then and to the extent of such payment, the obligation or the part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect with respect to the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder, as if said
payment had not been made. The liability of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced or discharged, in whole or in part, by any payment to any Holder from any source that is thereafter paid, returned or refunded in whole or in part by reason of
the assertion of a claim of any kind relating thereto, including, but not limited to, any claim for breach of contract, breach of warranty, preference, illegality, invalidity or fraud asserted by any account debtor or by any other Person. 

  
 E-SGA-11 

 (g) No Holder shall be under any obligation: (1) to marshal any assets in favor of the
Guarantors or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of the Company under or in respect of the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement or the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder or (2) to pursue any other remedy that the Guarantors may
or may not be able to pursue themselves and that may lighten the Guarantors’ burden, any right to which each Guarantor hereby expressly waives. 

(h) If an event permitting the acceleration of the maturity of the principal amount of the Notes shall at any time have occurred and be
continuing and such acceleration shall at such time be prevented or the right of any Holder to receive any payment under any Note shall at such time be delayed or otherwise affected by reason of the pendency against the Company of a case or
proceeding under a bankruptcy or insolvency law, each Guarantor agrees that, for purposes of this Guaranty and its obligations hereunder, the maturity of such principal amount shall be deemed to have been accelerated with the same effect as if the
Holders had accelerated the same in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, and such Guarantor shall forthwith pay such accelerated principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on
the Notes and any other amounts guaranteed hereunder. 
 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF
THE GUARANTORS. 
 Each Guarantor represents and warrants to each Holder that: 

(a) Such Guarantor is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to
be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (1) the business, operations, affairs, financial condition, assets or properties of the Parent and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (2) the ability of such Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Guaranty or (3) the validity or enforceability of this Guaranty (herein in this Section 5, a “Material Adverse
Effect”). Such Guarantor has the corporate or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and deliver
this Guaranty and to perform the provisions hereof. 
 (b) Each subsidiary of such Guarantor is a corporation or other legal entity duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is
required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each subsidiary of such Guarantor
has the corporate or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact. 

  
 E-SGA-12 

 (c) This Guaranty has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Guarantor,
and this Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (1) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (2) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 (d) The execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty will not (1) contravene, result in any breach of, or
constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, organizational
document, shareholders agreement or any other material agreement or instrument to which such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries is bound or by which such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties may be bound or
affected, (2) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries
or (3) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries. 

(e) No consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection
with the execution, delivery or performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty. 
 (f) (1) There are no actions, investigations, suits or
proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge of such Guarantor, threatened against or affecting such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries or any property of such Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind
or before or by any Governmental Authority that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(2) Neither such Guarantor nor any of its subsidiaries is (i) in default under any agreement or instrument to which it is
a party or by which it is bound, (ii) in violation of any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority or (iii) in violation of any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation of any Governmental
Authority (including, without limitation, Environmental Laws, the USA PATRIOT Act or any of the other laws and regulations that are referred to in Section 5.14 of the Note Purchase Agreement), which default or violation, individually or in the
aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (g) Neither such Guarantor nor any of its subsidiaries is
subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005, as amended, the ICC Termination Act of 1995, as amended, or the Federal Power Act, as amended. 

  
 E-SGA-13 

 (h) Such Guarantor is solvent, has capital not unreasonably small in relation to its business or
any contemplated or undertaken transaction and has assets having a value both at fair valuation and at present fair salable value greater than the amount required to pay its debts as they become due and greater than the amount that will be required
to pay its probable liability on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured. Such Guarantor does not intend to incur, or believe or should have believed that it will incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they become due.
Such Guarantor will not be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of, and performance of its obligations under, this Guaranty. Such Guarantor does not intend to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors by or through the execution and
delivery of, or performance of its obligations under, this Guaranty. 
 (i) The obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty rank at
least pari passu in right of payment with all other unsecured Senior Indebtedness (actual or contingent) of such Guarantor including, without limitation, all obligations of such Guarantor under any guaranty of indebtedness of any other
Person. 
 AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS AND CONSENTS. 

(a) This Guaranty may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), only with the
written consent of each Guarantor and the Required Holders, except that (1) no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Sections 3, 4 or 5, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to any Holder unless
consented to by such Holder in writing and (2) no amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of each Holder, (i) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the Holders of which are required to consent to any such
amendment or waiver or (ii) amend Section 2 or this Section 6. No consent of the Holders or the Guarantors shall be required in connection with the execution and delivery of a Guaranty Supplement or other addition of any additional
Guarantor, and each Guarantor, by its execution and delivery of this Guaranty (or Guaranty Supplement) consents to the addition of each additional Guarantor. 

(b) The Guarantors will provide each Holder with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to
enable such Holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof. The Guarantors will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment,
waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6 to each Holder promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite Holders. The Guarantors will
deliver executed copies of each executed Guaranty Supplement to each Holder promptly following the date on which it is executed. 
 (c) Any
consent given pursuant to this Section 6 by a Holder that has transferred or has agreed to transfer its Note to the Company, any Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Company in connection with such consent shall be void and of no force or effect
except solely as to such Holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other Holders that were
acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such Holder. 

  
 E-SGA-14 

 (d) No Guarantor will directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by
way of fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any Holder as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by such Holder of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof unless
such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support is concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each Holder even if such Holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment. 

(e) Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 6 applies equally to all Holders affected thereby and is binding upon
them and upon each future holder and upon the Guarantors. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant or agreement not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between
the Guarantors and any Holder nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any Holder. As used herein, the term “this Guaranty” and references thereto shall mean this Guaranty as it may from
time to time be amended or supplemented. 
 (f) Solely for the purpose of determining whether the Holders of the requisite percentage of the
aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Guaranty, Notes directly or indirectly owned by any Guarantor, the Company or any of their Affiliates shall be
deemed not to be outstanding.

 E-SGA-15 

 MISCELLANEOUS. 

(a) No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to any Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each
and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Guaranty now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default, omission
or failure of performance hereunder shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof but any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle any
Holder to exercise any remedy reserved to it under this Guaranty, it shall not be necessary for such Holder to physically produce its Note in any proceedings instituted by it or to give any notice, other than such notice as may be herein expressly
required. 
 (b) The Guarantors will pay all sums becoming due under this Guaranty by the method and at the address specified for such
purpose for such Holder, in the case of a Holder that is a Note Holder, on Schedule A to the Note Purchase Agreement or by such other method or at such other address as any Holder shall have from time to time specified to the Guarantors or the
Company on behalf of the Guarantors in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of this Guaranty or any Note. 
 (c)
Any provision of this Guaranty that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

(d) If the whole or any part of this Guaranty shall be now or hereafter become unenforceable against any one or more of the Guarantors for any
reason whatsoever or if it is not executed by any one or more of the Guarantors, this Guaranty shall nevertheless be and remain fully binding upon and enforceable against each other Guarantor as if it had been made and delivered only by such other
Guarantors. 
 (e) This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each
Holder and its successors and assigns so long as its Notes remain outstanding and unpaid. If any Guarantor enters into any consolidation or merger, pursuant to which such Guarantor is not the surviving entity (the “Successor
Corporation”), the Successor Corporation shall execute and deliver to each Holder its assumption of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition of this Guaranty (pursuant to such agreements and instruments
as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders). 
 (f) This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto. 

  
 E-SGA-16 

 (g) Each payment by any Guarantor shall be made, under all circumstances, without setoff,
counterclaim or reduction for, and free from and clear of, and without deduction for or because of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, charges, deductions, withholding, restrictions or conditions of any nature
whatsoever (hereinafter called (“Relevant Taxes”) imposed, levied, collected, assessed, deducted or withheld by the government of any country or jurisdiction (or any authority therein or thereof) other than the United States of
America from or through which payments hereunder or on or in respect of the Notes are actually made (each a “Non-U.S. Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless such imposition, levy, collection, assessment, deduction, withholding or other
restriction or condition is required by law. If a Guarantor is required by law to make any payment under this Guaranty subject to such deduction, withholding or other restriction or condition imposed by a Non-U.S. Taxing Jurisdiction, then such
Guarantor shall forthwith (1) pay over to the government or taxing authority imposing such tax the full amount required to be deducted, withheld from or otherwise paid by such Guarantor (including the full amount required to be deducted or
withheld from or otherwise paid by such Guarantor in respect of the Tax Indemnity Amounts (as defined below)); (ii) pay each Holder such additional amounts (“Tax Indemnity Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net
amount of every payment made to each Holder, after provision for payment of such Relevant Taxes (including any required deduction, withholding or other payment of tax on or with respect to such Tax Indemnity Amounts), shall be equal to the amount
which such holder would have received had there been no imposition, levy, collection, assessment, deduction, withholding or other restriction or condition. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(g), (1) no such Tax Indemnity
Amounts shall be payable for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of the failure of the Holder to timely complete, execute and deliver to such Guarantor any form or document to the
extent applicable to such Holder that may be required by law or by reason of administration of such law and which is reasonably requested in writing to be delivered by such Guarantor in order to enable such Guarantor to make payments pursuant to
this Section 8(g) without deduction or withholding for taxes, assessments or governmental charges, or with deduction or withholding of such lesser amount, which form or document shall be delivered within 90 days of a written request therefor by
such Guarantor and (2) in no event shall any Guarantor be obligated to pay any Tax Indemnity Amounts with respect to any payment to any Holder not resident in the United States of America in excess of the amount (including, if applicable, zero)
which such Guarantor would have been obligated to pay if (i) authorization could have been obtained under any income tax treaty between the United States of America and the Non-U.S. Taxing Jurisdiction in force at the relevant time for such
Guarantor to make such payment either without deduction or withholding of Relevant Taxes or with deduction or withholding of a lesser amount in respect of Relevant Taxes had the Notes held by such Holder been beneficially owned at all relevant times
by Persons who were deemed to be resident in the United States of America and were deemed eligible in full for any benefits and exemptions available under such treaty with respect to interest received from such Guarantor, assuming that such
Guarantor and such Persons had made and obtained all relevant claims and authorizations required under such treaty and (ii) such Guarantor had made the minimum deduction or withholding of Relevant Taxes, if any, which it would have been
lawfully entitled to do pursuant to such authorization. If in connection with the payment of any such Tax Indemnity Amounts, any Holder that is a United States person within the meaning of the Code or a foreign person engaged in a trade or business
within the United States of America, incurs taxes imposed by the United States of America or any political subdivision or taxing authority therein (“United States Taxes”) on such Tax Indemnity Amounts, such Guarantor shall pay to
such Holder such further amount as will insure that the net amount actually received by that Holder (taking into account any withholding or deduction in respect of any such further amount) is equal to the amount which such Holder would have received
after all United States Taxes on such Tax Indemnity Amounts and on any further amount had such withholding or deduction not been made. 

  
 E-SGA-17 

 (h) Any payment made by a Guarantor to any Holder for the account of any such holder in respect
of any amount payable by such Guarantor shall be made in the lawful currency of the United States of America (“U.S. Dollars”). Any amount received or recovered by such holder other than in U.S. Dollars (whether as a result of, or of
the enforcement of, a judgment or order of any court, or in the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor or otherwise) in respect of any such sum expressed to be due hereunder or under the Notes shall constitute a discharge of such Guarantor
only to the extent of the amount of U.S. Dollars which such Holder is able, in accordance with normal banking procedures, to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in that other currency on the date of the receipt or recovery (or, if it
is not practicable to make that purchase on such date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so). If the amount of U.S. Dollars so purchased is less than the amount of U.S. Dollars expressed to be due hereunder or under the Notes, such
Guarantor shall indemnify such Holder against any loss sustained by such holder as a result, and in any event, such Guarantor shall indemnify such holder against the cost of making any such purchase. These indemnities shall constitute a separate and
independent obligation from the other obligations herein, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any such Holder, shall continue in full force and effect despite any
judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any such sum due hereunder or any judgment or order and shall survive the payment of the Notes and the termination of this Guaranty. 

(i) This Guaranty shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State
of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State. 

(j) Each Guarantor irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a
defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim
that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
 (k) Each Guarantor consents
to process being served by or on behalf of any Holder in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 8(j) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage
prepaid, return receipt requested, to it at its address specified in Section 7 or at such other address of which such Holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. Each Guarantor agrees that such service upon receipt
(1) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (2) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and
personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service. 

  
 E-SGA-18 

 (l) Nothing in Section 8(j) or 8(k) shall affect the right of any Holder to serve process in
any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the Holders may have to bring proceedings against any Guarantor in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any
other jurisdiction. 
 (m) EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS
GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH. 

TERMINATION. 
 The obligations of
a Guarantor hereunder shall be immediately and automatically discharged and released, subject to, in the case of clause (a) below, Section 4(f), without any further action by any Holder or any other Person upon the sooner to occur of:
(a) the indefeasible payment in cash in full of the Notes and all other obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim shall have then been asserted) hereunder and under the Note Purchase Agreement or
(b) compliance with the requirements of Section 2.2(b) of the Note Purchase Agreement.
