 2.02    Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Committed Loans. 
 (a)       Each Borrowing, each conversion of Committed Loans or Term Loans, as the case may be, from
one Type to the other, and each continuation of Committed Loans or Term Loans, as the case may be, as the same Type shall be made upon the relevant Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent. Each such notice must be received by
the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York time, (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any such Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of any such Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion

month. 
 (b)       Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any

$500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of
each such notice, and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
specified therein. Any prepayment of Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be applied
to the Committed Loans or Term Loans, as the case may be, of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. 
 (b)      If for any reason the Outstanding Amount of all Loans at any time exceeds the Aggregate Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately prepay its Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such
excess. In addition, upon each increase in the Other Commitment pursuant to Section 2.16 of the Other Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall borrow an amount thereunder, not to exceed the amount of such increase, on or within three Business Days
(as such term is defined in the Other Credit Agreement) following the effective date of such increase (or such later date as the Administrative Agent (as such term is defined in the Other Agreement) shall agree) and shall apply the proceeds thereof
so that after giving effect to such borrowing and application of proceeds, the Aggregate Commitment Utilization Percentage and the Other Commitment Utilization Percentage shall be substantially the same, unless the Lenders have otherwise agreed.

date of termination or reduction, and (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of any such
notice of reduction or termination of the Aggregate Commitments. Once reduced in accordance with this Section, the Aggregate Commitments may not be increased. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each
Lender according to its Pro Rata Share. All undrawn fees and funding fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon each increase in the Other Commitment
pursuant to Section 2.16 of the Other Credit Agreement, the Aggregate Commitments automatically, without further act, shall permanently be reduced by the amount of each such increase, and shall not thereafter be reinstated. 
 2.08    Repayment of Loans. 
 The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding on such date which were made to it. 
 2.09    Interest. 
 (a)       Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (b)       In the event any amount due hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, any interest payment) is not paid when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise), the
Borrower shall pay interest on such unpaid amount (including, without limitation, interest on interest) at a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Accrued and unpaid interest
on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 
 (c)       Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and
payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. 
  

 28 

 2.10    Fees. 
 (a)      Revolving Period Fees. 
 (i)       Undrawn Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for
the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, an undrawn fee equal to the Undrawn Fee Rate multiplied by the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Commitments exceed the Outstanding Amount of the Loans. The undrawn fee shall
accrue at all times from the Closing Date until the earlier of the Maturity Date and the Revolving Termination Date and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Revolving Fee Payment Date. The undrawn fee shall be calculated quarterly
in arrears, and if there is any change in the Undrawn Fee Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Undrawn Fee Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Undrawn Fee Rate was in
effect. The undrawn fee shall accrue at all times during which it is applicable, including at any such time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, the
undrawn fee shall cease to accrue on and shall not be payable by Borrower with respect to the unfunded portion of the Commitment of any Lender if such Lender has failed to fund any portion of its Committed Loans within one Business Day following the
date required to be funded by it hereunder. 
 (ii)       Funding
Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, on each Revolving Fee Payment Date, a funding fee equal to 1.00% multiplied by the average aggregate Outstanding
Amount of the Loans during the period from the previous Revolving Fee Payment Date (or, in the case of the first Revolving Fee Payment Date, the Closing Date) through such Revolving Fee Payment Date; provided, that in the case of the first
and last Revolving Fee Payment Date, such amount shall be pro rated to the extent such period is less than a full calendar quarter. 
 (b)       Term-Out Period Fees. 
 (i)       Term-Out Fee. If the Borrower exercises its option to Term-Out pursuant to Section 2.17, then on the Revolving Termination Date, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent,
for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, an amount equal to 2.00% multiplied by the Outstanding Amount of Loans as of such date. 
 (ii)       Duration Fee. If the Borrower has exercised its option to Term-Out pursuant to Section 2.17, then Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share (i) on the 90th day after the Revolving Termination Date, a fee in an amount equal to 0.50% multiplied by the Outstanding Amount of the Loans (if any) as
of such date, (ii) on the 180th day after the Revolving Termination Date, a fee in an amount equal to 0.75% multiplied by the 

  

 29 

 
Outstanding Amount of the Loans (if any) as of such date, and (iii) on the 270th day after the Revolving Termination Date, a fee in an amount equal to
1.00% multiplied by the Outstanding Amount of the Loans (if any) as of such date. 
 (c)       Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to EUS, for its own account, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the letter agreement, dated April 9, 2009 (the “Fee
Letter”), among the Borrower and EUS. 
 2.11    Computation of Interest and
Fees. 
 Computation of interest on Base Rate Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or
366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed. Computation of all other types of interest and all fees shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed, which results in a higher
yield to the payee thereof than a method based on a year of 365 or 366 days. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such
portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. 
 2.12    Evidence of Debt. 
 The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be
evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each such Lender shall be conclusive absent
manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by such Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure so to record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the
Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any such Lender, as the case may be, and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in
respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall be presumed to be prima facie evidence of such matters absent manifest error. Upon the request of any such Lender, made through the Administrative Agent, such
Lender’s Loans may be evidenced by a Note, in addition to such accounts or records. Each such Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of the applicable Loans and payments
with respect thereto. 
 2.13    Payments Generally. 
 (a)       All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any
counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at
the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon, New York time, on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or
other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All 

  

 30 

 
payments received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon, New York time, shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any
applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. 
 (b)       Subject to the
definition of “Interest Period,” if any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in
computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 
 (c)       If at any time insufficient
funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all Obligations then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward Obligations in respect of any cost or expense reimbursements (including
Attorney Costs and amounts payable under Article III), fees and indemnities then due hereunder to the Administrative Agent, (ii) second, toward Obligations in respect of any cost or expense reimbursements (including Attorney Costs
and amounts payable under Article III), fees and indemnities then due hereunder to the Lenders, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with such amounts then due to such parties, (iii) third, toward repayment of
interest then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest then due to such parties, (iv) fourth, toward repayment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties and (v) fifth, to all other Obligations then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with such amounts then due to such
parties. 
 (d)       (i)       Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such
Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with
Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for
the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the
greater of (A) the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar
fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the applicable
Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay (subject to its recoupment rights
from and remedies against such defaulting Lender of any breakage costs paid by the Borrower when repaying such amount) such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to
the rate of interest applicable to the 

  

 31 

 
applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the
Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. 
 (ii)       Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders
the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available
funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 A notice of the Administrative
Agent to any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (d) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 (e)       If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and the conditions to the
applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without
interest. 
 (f)       The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Committed Loans
and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.05(b) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan or to make any payment under Section 10.05(b) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve
any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Committed Loan or to make its payment under Section 10.05(b). 
 (g)       Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in
any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 
 2.14    Sharing of Payments. 
 If,
other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Committed Loans or Term Loans, as the case may be, made by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or
otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such 

  

 32 

 
participations in the Committed Loans or Term Loans, as the case may be, made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the
excess payment in respect of such Committed Loan or Term Loans, as the case may be, or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is
thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s
ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right
of set-off, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall
be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to
this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the
purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. 
 2.15    Intentionally
Blank. 
 2.16    Intentionally Blank. 
 2.17    Term-Out Option. 
 (a)       Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent sent
not earlier than 60 days prior to, nor later than 10 days prior to, the Scheduled Maturity Date, elect to have the principal balance of the Loans outstanding on the Scheduled Maturity Date (the “Revolving Termination Date”)
continued to the Term Loan Maturity Date as non-revolving Term Loans (the “Term-Out”). As a condition precedent to the Term-Out, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower dated as of
the Revolving Termination Date signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such Term-Out, and (B) certifying that as of the Revolving
Termination Date, (1) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Revolving Termination Date, except to the extent that such
representations and warranties specifically refer to a different date, in which case they are true and correct as of such date, (2) since the date of the Audited Financial Statements to the Revolving Termination Date, there has been no event or
circumstance that has, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect, (3) except as specifically disclosed in Schedule 5.06, and matters covered by insurance or indemnification agreements, as of the Revolving Termination
Date, there are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims or disputes pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower after investigation, overtly threatened, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental 

  

 33 

 
Authority, by or against the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Unrestricted Subsidiaries or against any of their properties or revenues
of which there is a reasonable possibility of a determination adverse to such Person and which, if determined adversely, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (4) no Default or Event of Default exists. 

(b)       From and after the Revolving Termination Date, the Borrower may prepay hereunder, without
premium or penalty (subject to payment of amounts due, if any, pursuant to Section 3.05), but not reborrow, the outstanding Term Loans. 
 ARTICLE III. 
 TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
 3.01    Taxes. 
 (a)       Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and
clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes), by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized or maintains a lending office (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being
hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum
payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the Administrative Agent and such Lender each receives an amount equal to the sum
it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with
applicable Laws, and (iv) within 30 days after the date of such payment, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward the same to such Lender) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment
thereof. 
 (b)       In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or
future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies (but specifically excluding all other United States federal taxes, other than withholding taxes, unless such exclusion is not required as a
condition for an exemption from reporting requirements under Sections 6011, 6111, or 6112 of the Code) which arise from any payment made by it under any Loan Document or from its execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or
otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document to which it is a party (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 
 (c)       If the Borrower shall be required to deduct or pay any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to which it is a party to the

  

 34 

 
Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Borrower shall also pay to the Administrative Agent (for the account of such Lender) or to such Lender, at the time
interest is paid, such additional amount that such Lender specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in all taxes, including taxes imposed on or measured by net income) such Lender would have received if such Taxes or
Other Taxes had not been imposed. 
 (d)       In respect of related Obligations owed by
it, the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section)
paid by the Administrative Agent and such Lender, (ii) amounts payable under Section 3.01(c) and (iii) any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether
or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Payment under this subsection (d) shall be made within 30 days after the date the Lender or the Administrative Agent makes a
demand therefor which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amounts demanded, the basis therefor and the calculations in respect thereto. 
 3.02    Illegality. 
 If any Lender determines that any Law enacted, construed or announced after the Closing Date has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any
Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate Loans, or materially restricts the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the applicable offshore Dollar market,
or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Fixed Period Eurodollar
Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon
receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of
the Interest Period thereof, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any
such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. If any such Law, or change therein, shall only affect a portion of such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement which is, in the
opinion of such Lender and the Administrative Agent, severable from the remainder of this Agreement so that the remainder of this Agreement may be continued in full force and effect without otherwise affecting any of the obligations of the
Administrative Agent, the other Lenders or the Borrower, such Lender shall only declare its obligations under that portion so terminated. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such
notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. 
  

 35 

 3.03    Inability to Determine Rates. 
 If the Administrative Agent determines in connection with any request for a Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or
continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore Dollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for determining the Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate for such Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) the Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate for such Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost
to the Lenders of funding such Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and all Lenders. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be
suspended until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may, without liability for any attendant breakage costs, revoke any pending request for a Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Fixed Period
Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. 
 3.04    Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy Reserves on Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate Loans. 
 (a)      If any Lender determines that as a result of the introduction of, or any change in, or in the
interpretation of, any Law, in each case on or after the Closing Date, or such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Fixed Period Eurodollar
Rate Loans, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this subsection (a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes
or Other Taxes (as to which Section 3.01 shall govern), (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or any foreign jurisdiction or any political subdivision of either
thereof under the Laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Lending Office, and (iii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c)), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to
the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. 
 (b)      If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, or compliance by
such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into
consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such
Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction. 
 (c)      The
Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required under regulations of the Board to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional costs on the
unpaid principal amount of each Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to 

  

 36 

 
such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date
on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least 15 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice
15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 15 days from receipt of such notice. 
 (d)      Each Lender agrees that it will not claim, and that it shall not be entitled to claim, from the Borrower the payment of any of the amounts referred to in this Section 3.04
(i) if it is not generally claiming similar compensation from its other similar customers in similar circumstances and (ii) unless the relevant introduction or change affects all banks and other financial institutions substantially
similar to such Lender having regard to the size, business activities and regulatory capital of such banks and other financial institutions, but excluding differences based solely on the residency of Persons controlling such banks or other financial
institutions. In addition, each Lender shall use its reasonable efforts to reduce the amount it requests pursuant to Section 3.04, including using its reasonable efforts to not assign or transfer any Loan to any Person if such assignment
or transfer would or would be likely to increase the amount of such amounts payable; provided, however, such Lender shall have no obligation to take or omit to take any action that such Lender in its good faith judgment believes would
be disadvantageous to it. Each amount required to be paid to any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall be accompanied by a certificate of the requisite Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount owed, the basis therefor
and the calculations in respect thereto. 
 (e)      Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to
demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any
increased costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation
therefor; provided further that, if the introduction of Law or change in (or change in interpretation of ) Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 3.05    Funding Losses. 
 Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time (which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate
of such demanding Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount demanded, the bases therefor and the calculations in respect thereto), the Borrower to whom the subject Loan was made shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such
Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 
 (a)      any
continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan made to such Borrower other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration,
or otherwise); 
  

 37 

 (b)      any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than
the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan made to the Borrower other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or 
 (c)      any assignment of a Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest
Period as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.16; 
 including any loss of anticipated profits and any
loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative
fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. 
 For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders
under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the applicable offshore
Dollar interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Fixed Period Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded. 
 3.06    Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation. 
 (a)      A certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III and setting forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder
and such other information as otherwise specified in this Article III shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and
attribution methods customarily used by it in comparable circumstances. 
 (b)      Upon any
Lender’s making a claim for compensation under Section 3.01 or 3.04, the Borrower may remove or replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.16. 
 3.07    Survival. 
 All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all the other Obligations.

Qualifying Subordinated Indebtedness) from an Affiliate to the Borrower; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not purchase or prepay any Qualifying Subordinated Indebtedness unless after giving effect to such
purchase or payment, the Borrower is in compliance with Section 7.13 and such purchase or payment will not result in a Default or an Event of Default. For purposes of clarification of the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that the
limitations contained in this Section 7.10 shall not limit the Delegate’s authority to act or take actions on behalf of the General Partner.

agreements of the type permitted by Section 7.03(a)(i)(B)(c)) restricting the ability of any Subsidiary to make any payments, directly or indirectly, to the Borrower or a Material Subsidiary by way of distributions, loans, advances,

such purpose. 
 7.13    Consolidated Leverage Ratio. 
 As of the end of each applicable four-quarter period, the Borrower shall maintain a ratio of (a) (i) Consolidated Funded Debt
plus, without duplication, (ii) the principal amount of Funded Debt owed by the Borrower to Subsidiaries which does not constitute Qualifying Subordinated Indebtedness to (b) Pro Forma EBITDA of no greater than (1) during an
Acquisition Period 5.50 to 1.00, and (2) during any period other than an Acquisition Period as follows: (A) for periods ending on or before March 31, 2009, 5.50 to 1.00, (B) for periods ending June 30, 2009 and thereafter
through March 31, 2010, 5.25 to 1.00, and (C) for periods ending June 30, 2010 and thereafter, 5.00 to 1.00; provided, that if at the end of any such applicable four-quarter period the Borrower shall not have maintained such
ratio, the Borrower will have a period of 30 days following the later of the date a Responsible Officer of the Borrower has knowledge that such ratio has not been satisfied at the end of such period and 30 days following the end of such period, to
cure such failure on a pro forma basis by satisfying the following clauses (i) or (ii), or any combination of such clauses, by (i) obtaining an equity contribution which qualifies as equity under GAAP or (ii) incurring Qualifying
Subordinated Indebtedness in a sufficient amount that had the Borrower had such additional equity or Qualifying Subordinated Indebtedness proceeds, or a combination of both, at or prior to the end date of such applicable four-quarter period, the
Borrower would have been in compliance with this Section 7.13 for such four-quarter period and, if the Borrower obtains such equity or such Qualifying Subordinated Indebtedness proceeds, or any combination thereof, during such cure
period, but in no event shall such period end later than 60 days following the end of the corresponding ending four-quarter period, then it will be deemed to be in compliance with this Section 7.13 as of the end of such four quarter
period.

 7.14    Intentionally Blank. 
 7.15    Indebtedness of Non-OLP Subsidiaries. 
 As of the end of each fiscal quarter, the aggregate amount of Indebtedness of the Non-OLP Subsidiaries (other than Non-OLP
Inter-Company Indebtedness) shall not exceed an amount (the “Non-OLP Indebtedness Limitation”) equal to .5 times Non-OLP Pro Forma EBITDA for the four quarters then ended; provided, that to
the extent that such Indebtedness of the Non-OLP Subsidiaries does exceed the Non-OLP Indebtedness Limitation (the amount of such excess being referred to this Section 7.15 as “excess Indebtedness”) at quarter-end, the Non-OLP
Subsidiaries may cure such excess Indebtedness by satisfying the following clause (i) or clause (ii), or any combination of such clauses, within 30 days following the later of the date a Responsible Officer has knowledge of such non-compliance
and 30 days following the end of such quarter (but in no event shall the cure period extend beyond the date that is 60 days after the end of such quarter) (i) by receiving an infusion of cash or cash equivalents in an amount that (when added to
all other cash and cash equivalents then being held by Non-OLP Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 7.15) equals such excess Indebtedness (or portion thereof cured pursuant to this clause (i)), which cash or cash equivalents shall be
held by Non-OLP Subsidiaries until the calculation is done pursuant to this Section 7.15 at the end of the next quarter, or (ii) by reducing the aggregate outstanding amount of Indebtedness of the Non-OLP Subsidiaries by an amount
equal to such excess Indebtedness less the amount of cash or cash equivalents infused for such quarter-end pursuant to the preceding clause (i), if any. If the Non-OLP Subsidiaries so timely cure such excess Indebtedness by making such infusion or
reduction, or both as applicable, the Non-OLP Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Section 7.15 as of such quarter-end date. 
 7.16    Indebtedness of the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership Subsidiaries. 
 As of the end of each fiscal quarter, the aggregate amount of Indebtedness of the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership
Subsidiaries (other than OLP Inter-Company Indebtedness) shall not exceed an amount (the “OLP Indebtedness Limitation”) equal to 60% of the outstanding consolidated capitalization (calculated without regard to noncash
adjustments to equity) of the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership Subsidiaries as of such quarter-end date; provided, that to the extent that outstanding Indebtedness of the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership
Subsidiaries (other than OLP Inter-Company Indebtedness) does exceed the OLP Indebtedness Limitation (the amount of such excess being referred to this Section 7.16 as “excess Indebtedness”) at quarter-end, the
Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership Subsidiaries may cure such excess Indebtedness by satisfying the following clause (i) or clause (ii), or any combination of such clauses, within 30 days following the later of the date a
Responsible Officer has knowledge of such non-compliance and 30 days following the end of such quarter (but in no event shall the cure period extend beyond the date that is 60 days after the end of such quarter): (i) by receiving an infusion of
cash or cash equivalents in an amount that (when added to all other cash and cash equivalents then being held by the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 7.16) equals such excess
Indebtedness (or portion thereof cured pursuant to this clause (i)), which cash or cash equivalents shall be held by the Operating 

  

 56 

 
Partnership and the Operating Partnership Subsidiaries until the calculation is done pursuant to this Section 7.16 at the end of the next
quarter, or (ii) by reducing the aggregate outstanding amount of Indebtedness of the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership Subsidiaries by an amount equal to such excess Indebtedness less the amount of cash or cash equivalents
infused for such quarter-end pursuant to the preceding proviso, if any. If the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership Subsidiaries so timely cure such excess Indebtedness by making such infusion or reduction, or both as applicable, the
Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Section 7.16 as of such quarter-end date.

Indebtedness or contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing, securing or relating thereto, or any other event occurs, for a period beyond the applicable grace, cure, extension, forbearance or other similar period the effect of which default

beneficiaries) to cause, with the giving of notice if required, such Indebtedness to be demanded or to become due or to be repurchased or redeemed (automatically or otherwise) prior to its stated maturity, or such Guarantee Obligation to become
payable or cash collateral in respect thereof to be demanded; or (ii) there occurs under any Swap Contract an Early Termination Date (as defined in such Swap Contract) resulting from (A) any event of default under such Swap Contract as to

Material Subsidiary (i) a final judgment or order for the payment of money in an aggregate amount exceeding the Threshold Amount (to the extent not covered by independent third-party insurance as to which the insurer does not dispute coverage
and third-party indemnity or similar agreements), and either the Borrower or such Material Subsidiary fails (A) to have discharged, within 60 days after its commencement, any related attachment, sequestration or similar proceeding against its
material assets or (B) to pay any money judgment against it within 10 days before the date on which any of its assets may be lawfully sold to satisfy that judgment; or

the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article, other than the provisions of Section 9.06 which provide for the consent of the Borrower, are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the
Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 
 9.02    Rights as a Lender. 
 The Person serving as the Administrative Agent
hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial
advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account
therefor to the Lenders. 
 9.03    Exculpatory Provisions. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 
 (a)       shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (b)       shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary
powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of
the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the
Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and 
 (c)       shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the
Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 
  

 60 

 The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the
consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in
Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice
describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender. 
 The Administrative Agent
shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report
or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of
any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV
or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
 9.04    Reliance by Administrative Agent. 
 The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely
upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution)
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the
proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may
presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may
be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

 9.06    Resignation of Administrative Agent.

 The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt
of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States, subject to the
consent of the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted
such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications
set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such
notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of
the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and
determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this
Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative
Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the
Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 9.07    Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. 
 Each Lender
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it
shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 9.09    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. 
 In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the
Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower)
shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise 
 (a)       to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent
and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10, 10.04 and 10.05) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b)       to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in
any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10, 10.04
and 10.05. 
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of
any Lender in any such proceeding.

Indemnitee of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from any such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; and provided, further, that no action taken by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the directions
of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. 
 (ii)    Without limitation of the foregoing, to the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 10.04 or subsection (a) of
this Section 10.05 to be paid by it to an Agent, Issuer-Related Indemnitee, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent, Issuer-Related Indemnitee such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable

hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 (i)     Minimum Amounts. 
 (A)       in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to an Eligible Assignee
that is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Borrower otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 
 (ii)    Proportionate Amounts.    Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement
with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned. 
 (iii)   Required
Consents.    No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition: 
 (A)       the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld

 The Administrative
Agent shall not have any responsibility to ensure compliance with, or to inquire as to whether an assignee is in compliance with, the requirement set forth in Section 10.07(b)(iii)(A) as to financial capacity or the requirement set forth
in Section 10.07(b)(iii)(A) that the assignee agree to be bound by the Assignee Conditions, and responsibility for compliance with such requirements shall be the responsibility of the assigning Lender. 
  

 71 

 (iv)      Assignment and
Assumption.    The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500, which amount shall not
be for the account of, or reimburseable from, directly or indirectly, the Borrower except as otherwise provided in Section 10.16; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive
such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 
 (v)      No Assignment to Borrower.    No such assignment shall
be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective
date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver new or replacement Notes to the assigning Lender and the assignee Lender, and if the assigning Lender holds a Note, it shall, contemporaneous with the
Borrower’s delivery of a new or replacement Note, deliver such Note to the Borrower, marked “Cancelled”. Any assignment or transfer (other than any assignment as security to a Federal Reserve Bank) by a Lender of rights or obligations
under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

 (c)     Register.    The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this
purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments
of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the
Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
  

 72 

 (d)     Participations.    Any Lender
may, without the consent of, or prior notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other
modification described in clause (b) or (c) of Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender. 
 (e)     Limitations upon Participant Rights.    A Participant shall not be entitled
to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation
to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 10.15 as though it were a Lender. 
 (f)     Certain Pledges.    Any Lender may at any time assign, pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under
this Agreement (including under its Notes, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any
such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto; and provided, further, all costs, fees and expenses related to, or in connection with, any such pledge or grant shall be for the sole account of such Lender. 
 (g)     Electronic Execution of Assignments.    The words “execution,”
“signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect,
validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
  

 73 

 10.08  Confidentiality. 
 Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates or its other Related Parties, and each
of its and their directors, officers, agents, attorneys, employees and representatives) agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’
and other Related Parties’, directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of
such Information and instructed to (and will agree to) keep such Information confidential on the terms provided in this Section); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority; (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (and each such case, such Person shall endeavor to notify the Borrower of such occurrence as soon as reasonably possible following the service of any such process on such Person); (d) to
any other party to this Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing
provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any
direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Borrower,
in each case, provided that each such Person first agrees to hold, and cause to be held, such Information in confidence on the terms provided in this Section; (g) with the consent of the Borrower; (h) to the extent such Information
(i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower; or (i) to the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s or its Affiliates’ investment portfolio in connection with
ratings issued with respect to such Lender or its Affiliates. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such
information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such
information is clearly identified in writing at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if
such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
 Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may
be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state
securities Laws. 
  

 74 

 10.09   Set-off. 
 In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all Obligations then due and owing to such Lender. Each
Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
set-off and application. 
 10.10  Interest Rate Limitation. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents
shall not exceed the maximum amount, or be computed at a rate that exceeds the maximum rate, of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall contract
for, charge, receive, reserve or take interest in an amount or at a rate that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower, and in no
event shall the Borrower or any other Person ever be liable for unearned interest or ever be required to pay interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, received, reserved or taken by the
Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude
voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations. If the Laws of the State of Texas are
applicable for purposes of determining the “Maximum Rate”, then that term means the “indicated rate ceiling” from time to time in effect under Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code. The Borrower agrees that Chapter 346
of the Texas Finance Code does not apply to any Borrowing. 
 10.11  Counterparts. 
 This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
 10.12  Integration. 
 This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the
complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those
of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor 

  

 75 

 
of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with
the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof. 
 10.13  Survival of Representations and Warranties. 
 All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto
or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation
made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Credit Extension. 
 10.14  Severability. 
 Any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents 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 thereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 10.15  Foreign Lenders. 
 Each Lender that is a “foreign corporation, partnership or trust” within the meaning of the Code (a “Foreign Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, prior to becoming a
Lender herein, two duly signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Person and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Person by the
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Person by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent that such Person is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Person shall (a) promptly submit to the Administrative Agent such additional duly
completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to
avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Person by the Borrower pursuant to
this Agreement, (b) promptly notify the Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (c) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the
reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that the Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts
payable to such Person. If such Person fails to deliver the above forms or other documentation, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such 

  

 76 

 
Person an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code, without reduction. If any Governmental Authority
asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold any tax or other amount from payments made in respect of such Person, such Person shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes
imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the payment of all
Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent. 
 10.16  Removal and Replacement of
Lenders. 
 (a)       If (1) (A) a Lender or the Person that controls such
Lender has become insolvent or has become the subject of a bankruptcy, receivership or insolvency proceeding, and (B) such Lender has failed to fund any portion of its Committed Loans within one Business Day following the date required to be
funded by it hereunder, unless cured; or (2) under any other circumstances set forth herein providing that the Borrower shall have the right to remove or replace a Lender as a party to this Agreement, the Borrower may, upon notice to such
Lender and the Administrative Agent, (i) remove such Lender by terminating such Lender’s Commitment or (ii) replace such Lender by causing such Lender to assign its Commitment (without payment by such Lender of any assignment fee)
pursuant to Section 10.07(b) to one or more other Lenders or Eligible Assignees procured by the Borrower; provided, however, that if the Borrower elects to exercise such right with respect to any Lender pursuant to
Section 3.06(b), they shall be obligated to remove or replace, as the case may be, all Lenders that have made similar requests for compensation pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04. The Borrower shall (w) pay in full
the assignment fee specified in Section 10.07(b)(iv) unless otherwise paid by the replacement Lender, (x) pay in full all principal, interest, fees and other amounts owing to such Lender through the date of termination or assignment
(including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.05), and (y) release such Lender from its obligations under the Loan Documents. Any Lender being replaced shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to
such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Credit Extensions. The Administrative Agent shall distribute an amended Schedule 2.01, which shall be deemed incorporated into this Agreement, to reflect changes in the identities of the Lenders
and adjustments of their respective Commitments and/or Pro Rata Shares resulting from any such removal or replacement. 
 (b)       In order to make all the Lenders’ interests in any outstanding Credit Extensions ratable in accordance with any revised Pro Rata Shares after giving effect to the removal or replacement of a
Lender, the Borrower shall pay or prepay, if necessary, on the effective date thereof, all outstanding Loans of all Lenders, together with any amounts due under Section 3.05. The Borrower may then request Loans from the Lenders in
accordance with their revised Pro Rata Shares. The Borrower may net any payments required hereunder against any funds being provided by any Lender or Eligible Assignee replacing a terminating Lender. The effect for purposes of this Agreement shall
be the same as if separate transfers of funds had been made with respect thereto. 
 (c)       This section shall supersede any provision in Section 10.01 to the contrary. 
  

 77 

 10.17  Governing Law. 
 (a)       THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE

Reinsurer under this Reinsurance Agreement, whether collectible or not. 
 Solely for the purposes of calculating the Ultimate Net Loss,

 (a) All loss settlements made by the Ceding Insurer, provided they are within the terms of the original policies (or within the terms of

Reinsurance Agreement shall be applied as if recovered or received prior to the aforesaid settlement, and all necessary adjustments shall be made by the parties hereto. Subject always to the provisions of Article VI hereof, nothing in this clause

Ultimate Net Loss as defined in Article XIV. 
 15.3 Settlement. If the Loss Event Net Payment paid to the Ceding Insurer with
respect to a Loss Event exceeds the Ultimate Net Loss, the Ceding Insurer shall refund the difference to the Reinsurer, with interest from the Final Settlement Date computed at LIBOR, within 60 days from the date of the Proof of Loss Claim. If the
Loss Event Net Payment paid to the Ceding Insurer with respect to a Loss Event is less than the Ultimate Net Loss, the Reinsurer shall under no circumstances be obligated to make any further payments to the Ceding Insurer with respect to such Loss
Event.

any provision of the Indenture that requires the consent of Ceding Insurer, without the prior written consent of the Ceding Insurer or any other provision of the Indenture in any way that could have a material adverse effect on the Ceding Insurer in
connection with its rights or obligations hereunder. 
 20.2 Covenant by the Reinsurer. The Reinsurer shall comply with all
covenants in the Basic Documents as in effect on the date hereof, and as may be amended from time to time.

Rights. The Reinsurer shall, in consultation with the Ceding Insurer and at its own expense, promptly take all such lawful action as will be necessary to (a) protect and enforce its rights against any third party under or in connection with
the Basic Documents, and (b) compel or secure the performance and observance by the other parties to the Basic Documents of each of their obligations to the Reinsurer under or in connection with any of the Basic Documents and (c) exercise
any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Reinsurer under or in connection with any Basic Documents.

 INSOLVENCY 
 (a) In the event of the insolvency of the Ceding Insurer, any payments due to the Ceding
Insurer shall be payable directly to the Ceding Insurer or to its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor on the basis of the liability of the Ceding Insurer without diminution because of the insolvency of the Ceding Insurer or
because the liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor of the Ceding Insurer has failed to pay all or a portion of any claim. It is agreed, however, that the liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor of the Ceding
Insurer shall give written notice to the Reinsurer of the pendency of a claim against the Ceding Insurer indicating the policy reinsured which claim would involve a possible liability on the part of the Reinsurer within a reasonable time after such
claim is filed in the conservation or liquidation proceeding or in the receivership, and that during the pendency of such claim, the Reinsurer may investigate such claim and interpose, at its own expense, in the proceeding where such claim is to be
adjudicated, any defense or defenses that it may deem available to the company or its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by the Reinsurer shall be chargeable, subject to the approval of the Court,
against the Ceding Insurer as part of the expense of conservation or liquidation to the extent of a pro rata share of the benefit which may accrue to the company solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.

of such reinsurance in the event of the insolvency of the Ceding Insurer or (2) where the Reinsurer with the consent of the direct insured or insureds has assumed such policy obligations of the Ceding Insurer as direct obligations of the
Reinsurer to the payees under such policies and in substitution for the obligations of the Ceding Insurer to such payees.

 Annex I 
 Nuclear Incident Exclusion Clause - Physical Damage - Reinsurance (U.S.A.) 
  

	1.	This Reinsurance Agreement does not cover any loss or liability accruing to the Ceding Insurer, directly or indirectly and whether as insurer or reinsurer, from any Pool of Insurers
or Reinsurers formed for the purpose of covering Atomic or Nuclear Energy risks. 

  

	2.	Without in any way restricting the operation of paragraph (1) of this Clause, this Reinsurance Agreement does not cover any loss or liability accruing to the Ceding Insurer,
directly or indirectly and whether as insurer or reinsurer, from any insurance against Physical Damage (including business interruption or consequential loss arising out of such Physical Damage) to: 

  

	 	I.	Nuclear reactor power plants including all auxiliary property on the site, or 

  

	 	II.	Any other nuclear reactor installation, including laboratories handling radioactive materials in connection with reactor installations, and “critical facilities” as such,
or 

  

	 	III.	Installations for fabricating complete fuel elements or for processing substantial quantities of “special nuclear material,” and for reprocessing, salvaging, chemically
separating, storing or disposing of “spent” nuclear fuel or waste materials, or 

  

	 	IV.	Installations other than those listed in paragraph (2) III above using substantial quantities of radioactive isotopes or other products of nuclear fission.

  

	3.	Without in any way restricting the operations of paragraphs (1) and (2) hereof, this Reinsurance Agreement does not cover any loss or liability by radioactive
contamination accruing to the Ceding Insurer, directly or indirectly, and whether as insurer or reinsurer, from any insurance on property which is on the same site as a nuclear reactor power plant or other nuclear installation and which normally
would be insured therewith except that this paragraph (3) shall not operate 

  

	 	(a)	where Ceding Insurer does not have knowledge of such nuclear reactor power plant or nuclear installation, or 

  

	 	(b)	where said insurance contains a provision excluding coverage for damage to property caused by or resulting from radioactive contamination, however caused. However on and after
1st January 1960 this sub-paragraph (b) shall only apply provided the said radioactive contamination exclusion provision has been approved by the Governmental Authority having jurisdiction thereof. 

	4.	Without in any way restricting the operations of paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) hereof, this Reinsurance Agreement does not cover any loss or liability by radioactive
contamination accruing to the Ceding Insurer, directly or indirectly, and whether as insurer or reinsurer, when such radioactive contamination is a named hazard specifically insured against. 

  

	5.	It is understood and agreed that this Clause shall not extend to risks using radioactive isotopes in any form where the nuclear exposure is not considered by the Ceding Insurer to
be the primary hazard. 

  

	6.	The term “special nuclear material” shall have the meaning given it in the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 or by any law amendatory thereof. 

  

	7.	Ceding Insurer to be sole judge of what constitutes: 

  

	 	(a)	substantial quantities, and 

  

	 	(b)	the extent of installation, plant or site. 

 Note.-Without in any
way restricting the operation of paragraph (1) hereof, it is understood and agreed that 
  

	 	(a)	all policies issued by the Ceding Insurer on or before 31st December 1957 shall be free from the application of the other provisions of this Clause until expiry date or
31st December 1960 whichever first occurs whereupon all the provisions of this Clause shall apply. 

  

	 	(b)	with respect to any risk located in Canada policies issued by the Ceding Insurer on or before 31st December 1958 shall be free from the application of the other provisions of
this Clause until expiry date or 31st December 1960 whichever first occurs whereupon all the provisions of this Clause shall apply. 

 Annex II 
 Total Insured Value Exclusion Clause 
 It is the mutual intention of the parties to exclude risks, other than
Offices, Hotels, Apartments, Hospitals, Educational Establishments and Public Utilities (except Railroad Schedules), and Builders Risks on the above classes, where at the time of cession, the Total Insured Value over all interests exceeds
$250,000,000. However, the Ceding Insurer shall be protected hereunder, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Reinsurance Agreement, if subsequent to cession being made, the Ceding Insurer becomes acquainted with the true facts of the
case and discovers that the mutual intention has been inadvertently breached; on condition that the Ceding Insurer shall at the first opportunity, and certainly by next anniversary of the original policy, exclude the risk in question. 
 It is agreed that this mutual intention does not apply to Contingent Business Interruption or to interests traditionally underwritten as Inland Marine or to Stock and/or
Contents written on a blanket basis except where the Ceding Insurer is aware that the Total Insured Value of $250,000,000 is already exceeded for buildings, machinery, equipment and direct use and occupancy at the key location. 
 It is understood and agreed that this Clause shall not apply hereunder where the Ceding Insurer writes 100% of the risk. 

 Annex III 
 Pools, Associations and Syndicates Exclusion Clause 
 Section A: 
 Excluding: 
  

	 	(a)	All business derived directly or indirectly from any Pool, Association or Syndicate which maintains its own reinsurance facilities. 

  

	 	(b)	Any Pool or Scheme (whether voluntary or mandatory) formed after March 1, 1968 for the purpose of insuring property whether on a country-wide basis or in respect of designated
areas. This exclusion shall not apply to so-called Automobile Insurance Plans or other Pools formed to provide coverage for Automobile Physical Damage. 

 Section B: 
 It is agreed that business written by the Ceding Insurer for the same perils, which is known at the time
to be insured by, or in excess of underlying amounts placed in the following Pools, Associations or Syndicates, whether by way of insurance or reinsurance, is excluded hereunder: 
 Industrial Risk Insurers, 
 Associated Factory
Mutuals, 
 Improved Risk Mutuals, 
 Any Pool, Association or Syndicate formed for the purpose 
 of writing Oil, Gas or Petro-Chemical Plants and/or Oil or 

Gas Drilling Rigs, 
 United States Aircraft
Insurance Group, 
 Canadian Aircraft Insurance Group, 
 Associated Aviation Underwriters, 
 American Aviation Underwriters. 
 Section B does not apply: 
  

	 	(a)	Where the Total Insured Value over all interests of the risk in question is less than $250,000,000. 

  

	 	(b)	To interests traditionally underwritten as Inland Marine or stock and/or contents written on a blanket basis. 

  

	 	(c)	To Contingent Business Interruption, except when the Ceding Insurer is aware that the key location is known at the time to be insured in any Pool, Association or Syndicate named
above, other than as provided for under Section B(a). 

	 	(d)	To risks as follows: 

 Offices, Hotels, Apartments,
Hospitals, Educational Establishments, Public Utilities (other than railroad schedules) and builder’s risks on the classes of risks specified in this subsection (d) only. 
 Where this clause attaches to Catastrophe Excesses, the following Section C is added: 
 Section C: 
 Nevertheless the Reinsurer specifically agrees that liability accruing to the Ceding Insurer from its participation in residual market mechanisms including but not
limited to (but excluding Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, the Florida corporation): 
  

	 	(1)	The following so-called “Coastal Pools”: 

 Alabama Insurance Underwriting Association 
 Louisiana Citizens Property Insurance Corporation 
 Mississippi Windstorm Underwriting Association 
 North Carolina Insurance Underwriting Association 
 South Carolina Windstorm and Hail Underwriting Association 
 Texas Windstorm Insurance Association 
 AND 
  

	 	(2)	All “Fair Plan” and “Rural Risk Plan” business 

 AND

  

	 	(3)	The California Earthquake Authority (“CEA”) 

 for all perils
otherwise protected hereunder shall not be excluded, except, however, that this reinsurance does not include any increase in such liability resulting from: 
  

	 	(i)	The inability of any other participant in such “Coastal Pool” and/or “Fair Plan” and/or “Rural Risk Plan” and/or Residual Market Mechanisms to meet its
liability. 

  

	 	(ii)	Any claim against such “Coastal Pool” and/or “Fair Plan” and/or “Rural Risk Plan” and/or Residual Market Mechanisms, or any participant therein,
including the Ceding Insurer, whether by way of subrogation or otherwise, brought by or on behalf of any insolvency fund (as defined in the Insolvency Fund Exclusion Clause incorporated in this Reinsurance Agreement). 

 Section D: 
 Notwithstanding Section C above, in respect of the CEA,
where an assessment is made against the Ceding Insurer by the CEA, the Ceding Insurer may include in its Ultimate 

 
Net Loss only that assessment directly attributable to each separate Loss Occurrence covered hereunder. The Ceding Insurer’s initial capital
contribution to the CEA shall not be included in the Ultimate Net Loss. 
 Any assessments for accounting years subsequent to that in which the Loss Event
commenced may not be included in the Ultimate Net Loss hereunder. 
 Notwithstanding Section C above, where an assessment is made against the Ceding Insurer
by any such “Coastal Pool” and/or “Fair Plan” and/or “Rural Risk Plan” and/or “Residual Marker Mechanism,” the Ceding Insurer may include in its Ultimate Net Loss only that assessment directly attributable to
each separate loss occurrence covered hereunder which is not otherwise recoverable or recoupable through a premium tax credit by the Ceding Insurer.
