 ARTICLE II 
 THE CREDITS 
 2.1 The Facility. 
 2.1.1 Description of Facility. The Lenders grant to the Borrowers a revolving
credit facility pursuant to which, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth: 
  

 19 

 (a) each Lender severally agrees to make Ratable Loans to each of the
Borrowers, and participate in Letters of Credit issued upon the request of the Borrowers, provided that after giving effect to the making of each such Ratable Loan and the issuance of each such Letter of Credit, such Lender’s Outstanding
Credits shall not exceed in the aggregate at any one time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment in accordance with Section 2.2; and 
 (b) each Lender may, in its sole discretion, make bids to make Competitive Bid Loans to each of the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.3. 
 2.1.2 Amount of Facility. In no event may the aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Credits (including the Ratable
Advances, the Competitive Bid Advances, the Swing Line Advances and the outstanding Letters of Credit and Reimbursement Obligations) (a) to all Borrowers exceed the Aggregate Commitment or (b) exceed $300,000,000 to Subsidiary Borrowers.
The Commitments may be terminated or reduced from time to time pursuant to Section 2.5(c) or Section 8.1, and may be increased from time to time pursuant to Section 2.5(d). 
 2.1.3 Availability of Facility. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the facility is available from the date hereof to the
Facility Termination Date, and the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow at any time prior to the Facility Termination Date. The Commitments to lend hereunder shall expire on the Facility Termination Date. 
 2.1.4 Repayment of Facility. Any outstanding Advances and all other unpaid Obligations shall be paid in full by the Borrowers on
the Facility Termination Date. 
 2.1.5 Several Obligations. Each Borrower will be severally obligated for all
Advances made to such Borrower and all interest accrued with respect thereto, and no Borrower will be obligated for any Advances made to any other Borrower; provided that each Borrower will be jointly and severally liable with each of its
respective Subsidiary Borrowers in respect of the Obligations of each such Subsidiary Borrower in accordance with the corresponding Guaranty. Except as provided in this Section 2.1.5 and as otherwise expressly provided
herein, the Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable for all other Obligations hereunder. 
 2.2 Ratable
Advances. 
 2.2.1 Ratable Advances. Each Ratable Advance hereunder shall consist of Loans made to a Borrower from
the several Lenders ratably in proportion to the ratio that their respective Commitments bear to the Aggregate Commitment. The aggregate outstanding amount of Competitive Bid Advances shall reduce each Lender’s Commitment ratably in the
proportion such Lender’s Commitment bears to the Aggregate Commitment regardless of which Lender or Lenders make such Competitive Bid Advances. 
 2.2.2 Types of Ratable Advances. The Ratable Advances may be ABR Advances or Eurodollar Ratable Advances, or a combination thereof, selected by the Borrower requesting such Advance in accordance with
Section 2.2.3. 
  

 20 

 2.2.3 Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for Ratable
Advances.  Each applicable Borrower shall select the Type of Ratable Advance and, in the case of each Eurodollar Ratable Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto from time to time. Such Borrower shall give the Agent irrevocable
notice (a “Ratable Borrowing Notice”) not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least one Business Day before the Borrowing Date of each ABR Advance and three Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Eurodollar Ratable Advance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Ratable Borrowing Notice for an ABR Advance may be given by a Borrower not later than 15 minutes after the time which such Borrower is required to reject one or more bids offered in connection with an Absolute Rate
Auction pursuant to Section 2.3.6 and a Ratable Borrowing Notice for a Eurodollar Ratable Advance may be given not later than 15 minutes after the time such Borrower is required to reject one or more bids offered in connection with a
Eurodollar Auction pursuant to Section 2.3.6. A Ratable Borrowing Notice shall specify: 
 (a) the
Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Ratable Advance, 
 (b) the aggregate amount of such
Ratable Advance, 
 (c) the Type of Ratable Advance selected, and 
 (d) in the case of each Eurodollar Ratable Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto (which may not end after the
Facility Termination Date). 
 2.2.4 Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Ratable Advances. ABR Advances shall
continue as ABR Advances unless and until such ABR Advances are converted into Eurodollar Advances pursuant to this Section 2.2.4 or are repaid in accordance with Section 2.7. Each Eurodollar Ratable Advance shall continue as
a Eurodollar Ratable Advance until the end of the then applicable Eurodollar Interest Period therefor, at which time such Eurodollar Ratable Advance shall be automatically converted into an ABR Advance unless (i) such Eurodollar Ratable Advance
is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.7 or (ii) the Borrower to which such Eurodollar Ratable Advance was made shall have given the Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice (as defined below) requesting that, at the end of
such Eurodollar Interest Period, such Eurodollar Ratable Advance continue as a Eurodollar Ratable Advance for the same or another Eurodollar Interest Period. Subject to the terms of Section 2.6, each Borrower may elect from time to time
to convert all or any part of an ABR Advance made to such Borrower into a Eurodollar Ratable Advance. Such Borrower shall give the Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of an ABR Advance into a
Eurodollar Ratable Advance or continuation of a Eurodollar Ratable Advance not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least three Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying: 
 (a) the requested date of such conversion or continuation, which shall be a Business Day, 
 (b) the aggregate amount and Type of the Ratable Advance which is to be converted or continued, and 
  

 21 

 (c) the amount of such Ratable Advance which is to be converted into or
continued as a Eurodollar Ratable Advance and the duration of the Eurodollar Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 2.3
Competitive Bid Advances. 
 2.3.1. Competitive Bid Option. In addition to Ratable Advances pursuant to
Section 2.2, but subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the limitation set forth in Section 2.1.2 as to the maximum aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Advances
hereunder), each Borrower may, as set forth in this Section 2.3, request the Lenders, prior to the Facility Termination Date, to make offers to make Competitive Bid Advances to such Borrower. Each Lender may, but shall have no obligation
to, make such offers and such Borrower may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in this Section 2.3. Each Competitive Bid Advance to a Borrower shall be repaid by such Borrower on the last day
of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 2.3.2. Competitive Bid Quote Request. When a Borrower (in such capacity,
a “Requesting Borrower”) wishes to request offers to make Competitive Bid Loans under this Section 2.3, it shall transmit to the Agent by telecopy a Competitive Bid Quote Request so as to be received no later than
(i) 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least five Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date proposed therein, in the case of a Eurodollar Auction, or (ii) 10:00 a.m. (New York time) at least one Business Day prior to the Borrowing Date proposed
therein, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, specifying: 
 (a) the proposed Borrowing Date, which shall
be a Business Day, for such Competitive Bid Advance, 
 (b) the aggregate principal amount of such Competitive
Bid Advance, 
 (c) whether the Competitive Bid Quotes requested are to set forth a Competitive Bid Margin or
an Absolute Rate, or both, 
 (d) whether the proposed Competitive Bid Advance will be subject to prepayment,
and 
 (e) the Interest Period applicable thereto (which may not end after the Facility Termination Date).

 The Requesting Borrower may request offers to make Competitive Bid Loans for more than one Interest Period and for a Eurodollar Auction and an Absolute
Rate Auction in a single Competitive Bid Quote Request. No Competitive Bid Quote Request shall be given within 5 Business Days (or such other number of days as the requesting Borrower and the Agent may agree) of any other Competitive Bid Quote
Request. A Competitive Bid Quote Request that does not conform substantially to the format of Exhibit E hereto shall be rejected, and the Agent shall promptly notify the Requesting Borrower of such rejection. 
  

 22 

 2.3.3. Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes. Promptly and in any event before the
close of business on the same Business Day of receipt of a Competitive Bid Quote Request that is not rejected pursuant to Section 2.3.2, the Agent shall send to each of the Lenders by telecopy an Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes
substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto, which shall constitute an invitation by the Requesting Borrower to each Lender to submit Competitive Bid Quotes offering to make the Competitive Bid Loans to which such Competitive Bid Quote
Request relates in accordance with this Section 2.3. 
 2.3.4. Submission and Contents of Competitive Bid
Quotes. (a) Each Lender may, in its sole discretion, submit a Competitive Bid Quote containing an offer or offers to make Competitive Bid Loans in response to any Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes. Each Competitive Bid Quote must comply with
the requirements of this Section 2.3.4 and must be submitted to the Agent by telecopy at its offices specified in or pursuant to Article XIII not later than (i) 10:00 a.m. (New York time) at least three Business Days
prior to the proposed Borrowing Date, in the case of a Eurodollar Auction or (ii) 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the proposed Borrowing Date, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in either case upon reasonable prior notice to the
Lenders, such other time and date as the Requesting Borrower and the Agent may agree); provided that Competitive Bid Quotes submitted by CUSA may only be submitted if the Agent or CUSA notifies the Requesting Borrower of the terms of the
offer or offers contained therein not later than 15 minutes prior to the latest time at which the relevant Competitive Bid Quotes must be submitted by the other Lenders. Subject to Articles IV and VIII, any Competitive Bid Quote
so made shall be irrevocable except with the written consent of the Agent given on the instructions of the Requesting Borrower. 
 (b) Each Competitive Bid Quote shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto and shall in any case specify: 
 (i) the proposed Borrowing Date, which shall be the same as that set forth in the applicable Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes, 
 (ii) the principal amount of the Competitive Bid Loan for which each such offer is being made, which principal amount
(A) may be greater than, less than or equal to the Commitment of the quoting Lender, (B) must be at least $25,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000, and (C) may not exceed the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans for
which offers were requested, 
 (iii) in the case of a Eurodollar Auction, the Competitive Bid Margin offered
for each such Competitive Bid Loan, 
 (iv) the minimum amount, if any, of the Competitive Bid Loan which may
be accepted by the Requesting Borrower, 
 (v) in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, the Absolute Rate
offered for each such Competitive Bid Loan, 
  

 23 

 (vi) the maximum aggregate amount, if any, of Competitive Bid Loans
offered by the quoting Lender which may be accepted by the Requesting Borrower, and 
 (vii) the identity of
the quoting Lender. 
 (c) The Agent shall reject any Competitive Bid Quote that: 
 (i) is not substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto or does not specify all of the information required
by this Section 2.3.4(c), 
 (ii) contains qualifying, conditional or similar language, other than
any such language contained in Exhibit D hereto, 
 (iii) proposes terms other than or in addition
to those set forth in the applicable Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes, or 
 (iv) arrives after the time
set forth in Section 2.3.4(a). 
 If any Competitive Bid Quote shall be rejected pursuant to this Section 2.3.4(c), then the Agent
shall notify the relevant Lender of such rejection as soon as practical. 
 2.3.5. Notice to Requesting Borrower. The
Agent shall promptly notify the Requesting Borrower of the terms (a) of any Competitive Bid Quote submitted by a Lender that is in accordance with Section 2.3.4 and (b) of any Competitive Bid Quote that amends, modifies or is
otherwise inconsistent with a previous Competitive Bid Quote submitted by such Lender with respect to the same Competitive Bid Quote Request. Any such subsequent Competitive Bid Quote shall be disregarded by the Agent unless such subsequent
Competitive Bid Quote specifically states that it is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Competitive Bid Quote. The Agent’s notice to the Requesting Borrower shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Competitive
Bid Loans for which offers have been received for each Interest Period specified in the related Competitive Bid Quote Request and the respective principal amounts and Eurodollar Bid Rates or Absolute Rates, as the case may be, so offered.

 2.3.6. Acceptance and Notice by Borrower. Not later than (a) 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least three
Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date, in the case of a Eurodollar Auction or (b) 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the proposed Borrowing Date, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in either case upon reasonable prior notice
to the Lenders, such other time and date as the Requesting Borrower and the Agent may agree), the Requesting Borrower shall notify the Agent of its acceptance or rejection of the offers so notified to it pursuant to Section 2.3.5;
provided, however, that the failure by the Requesting Borrower to give such notice to the Agent shall be deemed to be a rejection of all such offers. In the case of acceptance, such notice (a “Competitive Bid Borrowing
Notice”) shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. The Requesting Borrower may accept any Competitive Bid Quote in whole or in part (subject to the terms of
Section 2.3.4(b)(iv)); provided that: 
  

 24 

 (a) the aggregate principal amount of each Competitive Bid Advance may
not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Competitive Bid Quote Request, 
 (b) acceptance of
offers may only be made on the basis of ascending Eurodollar Bid Rates or Absolute Rates, as the case may be, and 
 (c) the Requesting Borrower may not accept any offer that is described in Section 2.3.4(c) or that otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement. 
 2.3.7. Allocation by Agent. If offers are made by two or more Lenders with the same Eurodollar Bid Rates or Absolute Rates, as the
case may be, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which offers are accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be
allocated by the Agent among such Lenders as nearly as possible (in such multiples, not greater than $1,000,000, as the Agent may deem appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of such offers; provided, however, that
no Lender shall be allocated a portion of any Competitive Bid Advance which is less than the minimum amount which such Lender has indicated that it is willing to accept. Allocations by the Agent of the amounts of Competitive Bid Loans shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Agent shall promptly, but in any event on the same Business Day, notify each Lender of its receipt of a Competitive Bid Borrowing Notice and the aggregate principal amount of such Competitive Bid
Advance allocated to each participating Lender. 
 2.3.8. Administration Fee. Each Requesting Borrower hereby agrees
to pay to the Agent an administration fee of $3,000 for each Competitive Bid Quote Request transmitted by such Requesting Borrower to the Agent pursuant to Section 2.3.2. Such administration fee shall be payable in arrears on each
Payment Date hereafter and on the Facility Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Aggregate Commitment shall terminate or be cancelled) for any period then ending for which such fee, if any, shall not have been theretofore paid.

 2.4 Method of Borrowing. Not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make
available its Loan or Loans in funds immediately available in New York to the Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII. Promptly upon its receipt thereof, the Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to
the applicable Borrower at the Agent’s aforesaid address. 
 2.5 Fees; Reduction and Increase of Aggregate
Commitment. 
 (a) Facility Fee. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Agent for
the account of each Lender a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Facility Fee Rate on each Lender’s Commitment regardless of usage. Each Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the Agent for the
account of each Lender an undivided one-third portion of the Facility Fee, with such Borrower’s portion 

  

 25 

 
based on its Status (as defined in the Pricing Schedule). The Facility Fee is payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date hereafter and on the Facility
Termination Date. 
 (b) Utilization Fee. For each day on which the aggregate principal amount of all
outstanding Advances (including Ratable Advances, Competitive Bid Advances and Swing Line Advances) exceeds 50% of the Aggregate Commitment, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender based on each
Lender’s outstanding Advances a utilization fee (the “Utilization Fee”) at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Utilization Fee Rate on the average daily amount of all outstanding Advances. The Utilization Fee is payable quarterly
in arrears on each Payment Date hereafter and on the Facility Termination Date. 
 (c) Reductions in
Aggregate Commitment. The Borrowers may permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitment in whole, or in part ratably among the Lenders in integral multiples of $10,000,000, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Agent, which
notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction, provided, however, that the amount of the Aggregate Commitment may not be reduced below the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Credits. All accrued fees shall be payable
on the effective date of any termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, any reduction of the Commitments to an amount below the L/C Commitment Amount shall result in a reduction of the L/C
Commitment Amount to the extent of such deficit. Each such notice of termination or reduction shall be irrevocable; provided, further, that, if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitments, the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds
the amount of the Aggregate Commitment, the Swing Line Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. 
 (d) Increase in Aggregate Commitment. The Borrowers may, at their option, no more than one time in any calendar year, seek to increase the Aggregate Commitment, in minimum increments of $25,000,000, by up to an
aggregate amount of $300,000,000 (resulting in a maximum Aggregate Commitment of $1,300,000,000) upon at least three (3) Business Days’ written notice to the Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of such increase and shall be
delivered at a time when no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing. The Borrowers may, after giving such notice, offer the increase in the Aggregate Commitment on either a ratable basis to the Lenders or on a non-pro rata basis
to one or more Lenders and/or to other banks or entities reasonably acceptable to the Agent. Any Lender may, in its sole discretion, accept or reject any offer from the Borrowers to increase its Commitment. No increase in the Aggregate Commitment
shall become effective until the existing or new Lenders extending such incremental Commitment amount and the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Agent a document in form reasonably satisfactory to the Agent pursuant to which any such existing
Lender states the amount of its Commitment increase, any such new Lender states its Commitment amount and agrees to assume and accept the obligations and rights of a Lender hereunder and the Borrowers accept such incremental Commitments. The Lenders
(new or existing) shall accept an assignment from the existing Lenders, and the existing Lenders shall make an assignment to the new or existing Lender accepting a new or increased Commitment, of an interest in each then outstanding Ratable Advance
such 

  

 26 

 
that, after giving effect thereto, all Ratable Advances are held ratably by the Lenders in proportion to their respective Commitments. Assignments pursuant
to the preceding sentence shall be made in exchange for the principal amount assigned plus accrued and unpaid interest and Facility Fees. The Borrowers shall make any payments under Section 3.4 resulting from such assignments.

 (e) Letter of Credit Fee. Each Borrower shall severally pay to the Agent, for the account of the
Lenders, a fee in an amount equal to the then Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Advances multiplied by the Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, in each case for the number of days that such Letter of Credit
is issued but undrawn, payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date and on the Termination Date. 
 (f)
Fronting Fee. Each Borrower agrees to pay to each Fronting Bank, for its own account, certain fees in such amounts and payable on such terms as set forth in the Fronting Bank Fee Letter to which such Fronting Bank is a party. 
 2.6 Minimum Amount of Each Ratable Advance; Minimum Amount of Fixed Rate Advances. Each Eurodollar Ratable Advance shall be in the
minimum amount of $25,000,000 (and in multiples of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof), and each ABR Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $25,000,000 (and in multiples of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof); provided, however, that any
ABR Advance may be in the amount of the unused Aggregate Commitment. No Borrower shall request a Fixed Rate Advance if, after giving effect to the requested Fixed Rate Advance, more than six (6) separate Fixed Rate Advances would be outstanding
in respect of all Borrowers. 
 2.7 Principal Payments. 
 (a) Optional Principal Payments. Each Borrower may from time to time pay, without penalty or premium, all
outstanding ABR Advances (other than Swing Line Advances), or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $10,000,000, any portion of the outstanding ABR Advances (other than Swing Line Advances), upon one Business Day’s prior notice to the Agent. Each
Borrower may from time to time pay, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4 but without penalty or premium, all outstanding Eurodollar Ratable Advances, or, in a minimum aggregate amount of
$10,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, any portion of the outstanding Eurodollar Ratable Advances upon three Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent. Except as specifically agreed to by the applicable Borrower
and Lender, a Competitive Bid Loan may not be paid prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period. Any optional principal payment of a Competitive Bid Loan which is permitted by such Borrower and such Lender shall be made subject to the
payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4 and to any minimum amounts agreed upon by such Borrower and such Lender. Each partial prepayment of any Swing Line Borrowing shall be without penalty or premium and
in an aggregate principal amount not less than $1,000,000 with notice to the Agent and the Swing Line Lender by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date of repayment. 
  

 27 

 (b) Mandatory Principal Payments. 
 (i) If and to the extent that the Outstanding Credits on any date hereunder shall exceed the aggregate amount of the
Commitments hereunder on such date, each Borrower agrees to (A) prepay on such date a principal amount of Advances made to it and/or (B) pay to the Agent an amount in immediately available funds (which funds shall be held as collateral
pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Agent) equal to all or a portion of the amount available for drawing under the Letters of Credit outstanding at such time and issued for its account, which prepayments under clause (A) and payment
under clause (B) shall, when taken together result in the amount of Outstanding Credits (after giving effect to such prepayments) minus the amount paid to the Agent pursuant to clause (B) being less than or equal to the aggregate
amount of the Commitments hereunder on such date. 
 (ii) If at any time the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of the Swing Line Advances exceeds the Swing Line Sublimit, each Borrower agrees to prepay the Swing Line Advances made to it in a principal amount sufficient to cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Swing Line Advances to be
less than or equal to the Swing Line Sublimit. 
 (iii) Each Swing Line Advance shall be paid in full not
later than 7 business days after the date such Swing Line Advance is made. 
 2.8 Changes in Interest Rate, etc. Each
ABR Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is automatically converted from a Eurodollar Ratable Advance into an ABR Advance pursuant to
Section 2.2.4, to but excluding the date it is paid or is converted into a Eurodollar Ratable Advance pursuant to Section 2.2.4 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate for such day. Changes in the rate of
interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as an ABR Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and
including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Ratable Advance, at the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such
Eurodollar Ratable Advance and (ii) in the case of a Eurodollar Bid Rate Advance, at the Eurodollar Bid Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Eurodollar Bid Rate Advance. Each Absolute Rate Advance shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the Absolute Rate applicable to such Absolute Rate Advance. No Interest
Period may end after the Facility Termination Date. 
 2.9 Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in Section 2.2.3 or 2.2.4, during the continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default with respect to any Borrower, the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to such Borrower (which notice may be
revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest 

  

 28 

 
rates), declare that no Advance to such Borrower may be made as, converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Ratable Advance or Swing Line Advance. During
the continuance of a Default with respect to such Borrower, the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to such Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of
Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that (a) each Fixed Rate Advance made to such Borrower shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the rate
otherwise applicable to such Interest Period plus 2% per annum, (b) each ABR Advance made to such Borrower shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time plus 2% per
annum and (c) the Letter of Credit fee set forth in Section 2.5(e) shall be increased by 2% per annum, provided that, during the continuance of a Default with respect to any Borrower under Section 7.6 or
7.7, the interest rates set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above shall be applicable to all Extensions of Credit to all Borrowers without any election or action on the part of the Agent or any Lender. 
 2.10 Method of Payment. 
 (a) Obligations. All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Agent at the Agent’s
address specified pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Agent specified in writing by the Agent to the Borrowers, by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date when due and shall (except with respect to
repayments of Swing Line Advances and except in the case of Reimbursement Obligations (which shall be paid and applied as set forth in Section 2.18(l)) or as otherwise specifically required hereunder) be applied ratably by the Agent
among the Lenders. Each payment delivered to the Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Agent received at its address specified pursuant to
Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Agent from such Lender. The Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of each Borrower maintained with CUSA for each payment of principal, interest
and fees as it becomes due hereunder with respect to such Borrower. 
 (b) Returned Payments. To the
extent that any payment by or on behalf of a Borrower is made to the Agent, any Fronting Bank or any Lender, or the Agent, any Fronting Bank or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part
thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now
or hereafter in effect or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Agent, such Fronting Bank or such Lender in its discretion) (a “Returned Payment”), then (i) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation
or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (ii) each Lender and each Fronting Bank severally agrees to
pay to the Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to
the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in 

  

 29 

 
effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the Fronting Banks under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of any
amounts hereunder and the termination of this Agreement. 
 2.11 Noteless Agreement; Evidence of
Indebtedness.  (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender to such Borrower
from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 
 (b) The Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made to each Borrower hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount
of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder from each Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

 (c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above
shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any
manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms. 
 (d)
Any Lender may request that its Ratable Loans or its Competitive Bid Loans be evidenced by Ratable Notes or Competitive Bid Notes, respectively. In such event, each Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Ratable Note or a
Competitive Bid Note, as the case may be, payable to the order of such Lender. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 12.3) be represented
by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 12.3, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that
such Loans once again be evidenced as described in paragraphs (a) and (b) above. 
 2.12 Telephonic Notices.
Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances, submit Competitive Bid Quotes and transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the
Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of such Borrower, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Borrowing Notices, Conversion/Continuation Notices and Competitive Bid Quote
Requests to be given telephonically. Each Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent a written confirmation, if such confirmation is requested by the Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice signed by an Authorized Officer. If the
written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.

 2.13 Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each ABR
Advance (other than Swing Line Advances) shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, on any date on which the ABR Advance is prepaid, whether due to acceleration or otherwise, and at
maturity. Interest accrued on that portion of the outstanding principal amount of any ABR Advance converted into a Eurodollar Ratable Advance on a day other than a Payment Date shall be payable on the date of conversion. Interest accrued on each
Fixed Rate Advance shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Fixed Rate Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Fixed Rate Advance having
an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period. Interest on Fixed Rate Advances and fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a
360-day year, and interest on ABR Advances shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365 or 366 day year, as applicable. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount
paid if payment is received prior to noon (local time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment. 
 2.14 Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Commitment reduction
notice, Ratable Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, Competitive Bid Borrowing Notice, Notice of Swing Line Borrowing and repayment notice received by it hereunder. Promptly after notice from the Fronting Bank, the Agent will notify
each Lender of the contents of each Letter of Credit Request. The Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Fixed Rate Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of
each change in the Alternate Base Rate. 
 2.15 Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans and its
participation interests in outstanding Letters of Credit and Reimbursement Obligations at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender or such Fronting Bank, as the case may be, and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All
terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loans, participation interests in outstanding Letters of Credit and Reimbursement Obligations, and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender or such
Fronting Bank, as the case may be, for the benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender and each Fronting Bank may, by written notice to the Agent and the Borrowers in accordance with Article XIII, designate replacement or
additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it or Letters of Credit will be issued by it and for whose account Loan payments or payments with respect to Letters of Credit are to be made. 
 2.16 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Agent. Unless a Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Agent prior to the date on
which it is scheduled to make payment to the Agent of (a) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (b) in the case of a Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does
not intend to make such payment, the Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The 

  

 31 

 
Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such
Lender or such Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Agent, repay to the Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of
each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Agent until the date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate
for such day for the first three days and, thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan or (ii) in the case of payment by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan
required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided, that the Commitments and the Competitive Bid Advances of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s
failure to make Loans as required hereunder. 
 2.17 Swing Line Advances. 
 (a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Swing Line Lender agrees to make
Swing Line Advances to any Borrower (including any Subsidiary Borrower following the satisfaction in full of the conditions set forth in Section 2.19(a)) in U.S. dollars only from time to time on any Business Day during the period from
the date hereof until the Facility Termination Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time the amount of such Swing Line Lender’s Swing Line Commitment; provided, however, no Swing Line Lender shall be required to make a
Swing Line Advance hereunder if (i) the amount of such Swing Line Advance, together with the aggregate principal amount of all other Swing Line Advances outstanding would exceed the Swing Line Sublimit, (ii) the making of such Swing Line
Advance, together with the making of the other Swing Line Advances constituting part of the same Swing Line Borrowing, would cause the total amount of all Outstanding Credits to exceed the Aggregate Commitment or (iii) the making of such Swing
Line Advance by a Swing Line Lender, together with such Swing Line Lender’s other Outstanding Credits, would cause the total amount of all Outstanding Credits of such Swing Line Lender to exceed the amount of the Commitment of such Swing Line
Lender. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, each Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.17, prepay under Section 2.7, and reborrow under this Section 2.17.
Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Advance, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Advance in an amount
equal to such Lender’s ratable portion (according to the Lenders’ respective Commitments) times the amount of such Swing Line Advance. No more than five Swing Line Advances may be outstanding hereunder at any time. 
 (b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon any Borrower’s irrevocable notice to
the applicable Swing Line Lender and the Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the applicable Swing Line Lender and the Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of the proposed Swing Line
Borrowing or at such later time as a Swingline Lender may agree, and shall specify (i) the date of such Swing Line Borrowing, (ii) the aggregate 

  

 32 

 
amount of such Swing Line Borrowing, which shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof and (iii) the identity of the Borrower requesting such Swing Line Borrowing. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the relevant Swing Line Lender and the Agent of a written Notice of Swing Line Borrowing,
appropriately completed and signed by such Borrower. Promptly after receipt by such Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Notice of Swing Line Borrowing, such Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Agent
has also received such Notice of Swing Line Borrowing and, if not, such Swing Line Lender will notify the Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless such Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from
the Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing such Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Advance as a result of the limitations set
forth in the first sentence of Section 2.17(a) or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Swing Line Lender will,
not later than 4:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Notice of Swing Line Borrowing, make the amount of its Swing Line Advance available to the applicable Borrower at its office by crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of
such Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds. 
 (c) Interest on Swing Line Advances. Each
Borrower agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Swing Line Advance made by each Swing Line Lender to such Borrower from the date of such Swing Line Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at a rate per annum
equal to the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus the Applicable Margin, payable on the date such Swing Line Advance is paid in full and as provided in Section 2.7; provided, however, that if and for so long as a
Default shall have occurred and be continuing the unpaid principal amount of each Swing Line Advance shall (to the fullest extent permitted by law) bear interest until paid in full at a rate per annum equal at all times to a rate equal to 2% above
the rate then applicable to such Swing Line Advance or, if higher, the Alternate Base Rate plus 2% per annum, payable upon demand. 
 (d) Refinancing of Swing Line Advances. 
 (i)
Each Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of any Borrower (each of which hereby irrevocably authorizes each Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make an ABR Advance in
an amount equal to the amount of Swing Line Advances made by such Swing Line Lender then outstanding to such Borrower. Such request shall be made in writing and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.2, without regard to the
minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of ABR Advances, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.2. Such Swing Line Lender shall furnish such Borrower
with a copy of the applicable written notice of borrowing promptly after delivering such notice to the Agent. Each Lender shall, before 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of such 

  

 33 

 
borrowing, make available for the account of its applicable Lending Installation to the Agent at its address referred to in Section 13.1, in same
day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion (according to the Lenders’ respective Commitments) of such ABR Advance. After the Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in
Article IV, the Agent will make such funds available to the applicable Swing Line Lender for the account of such Borrower at the Agent’s aforesaid address, whereupon, subject to Section 2.17(d)(ii), each Lender that so
makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an ABR Advance to such Borrower in such amount. The Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Swing Line Lender. 
 (ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Advance cannot be refinanced by an ABR Advance in accordance with
Section 2.17(d)(i), the request for ABR Advances submitted by a Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by such Swing Line Lender that each Lender fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line
Advances and each Lender’s payment to the Agent for the account of such Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.17(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. 
 (iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Agent for the account of any Swing Line Lender any amount required to
be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.17(d) by the time specified in Section 2.17(d)(i), such Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Agent),
on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds
Effective Rate and a rate determined by such Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of such Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Agent) with respect to any amounts owing
under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (iv) Each Lender’s obligation
to make ABR Advances or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Advances pursuant to this Section 2.17(d) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against any Swing Line Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of an Unmatured Default or Default, or
(C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make ABR Advances pursuant to this Section 2.17(d) is subject to
the conditions set forth in Section 4.2. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of any Borrower to repay Swing Line Advances, together with interest as provided herein. 
  

 34 

 (e) Repayment of Participations. 
 (i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Advance, if the applicable
Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Advance, such Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its ratable portion (according to the Lenders’ respective Commitments) of such payment (appropriately adjusted,
in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by such Swing Line Lender. 
 (ii) If any payment received by any Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Advance is
required to be returned by such Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 2.10(b) (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to such
Swing Line Lender its ratable portion (according to the Lenders’ respective Commitments) thereof on demand of the Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to
the Federal Funds Rate. The Agent will make such demand upon the request of such Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the obligations hereunder and the termination of this
Agreement. 
 (f) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lenders. Each Swing Line Lender shall be
responsible for invoicing the relevant Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Advances made to such Borrower. Until each Lender funds its ABR Advance or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.17 to refinance such Lender’s
ratable portion (according to the Lenders’ respective Commitments) of any Swing Line Advance, interest in respect of such ratable portion (according to the Lenders’ respective Commitments) shall be solely for the account of such Swing Line
Lender. 
 (g) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lenders. Each Borrower with outstanding Swing Line
Advances shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Advances directly to the Swing Line Lender that made such Advances. 
 2.18 Letters of Credit. 
 (a) Agreement of
Fronting Banks. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Fronting Bank agrees to issue and amend (including, without limitation, to extend or renew) for the account of any Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (each such Person,
an “Account Party”) one or more standby letters of credit (individually, a “Letter of Credit” and collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) from and including the date hereof to the Facility Termination Date, in an
aggregate Stated Amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the L/C Commitment Amount minus Reimbursement Obligations outstanding at such time. Each Letter of Credit shall be renewable (if so requested by the Borrower) and shall have an
Expiration Date of no later than the earlier of (x) the Facility 

  

 35 

 
Termination Date and (y) the date occurring one year after the Date of Issuance of such Letter of Credit; provided, however, that
no Fronting Bank will issue or amend a Letter of Credit if, immediately following such issuance or amendment, (i) the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, when aggregated with (1) the Stated Amounts of all other outstanding Letters
of Credit and (2) the outstanding Reimbursement Obligations, would exceed the L/C Commitment Amount or (ii) the total amount of all Outstanding Credits would exceed the Aggregate Commitment. Letters of Credit shall be denominated in U.S.
dollars only. 
 (b) Forms. Each Letter of Credit shall be in a form customarily used by the Fronting
Bank that is to issue such Letter of Credit or in such other form as has been approved by such Fronting Bank. At the time of issuance or amendment, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the amount and the terms and conditions of
each Letter of Credit shall be subject to approval by the applicable Fronting Bank and the applicable Borrower. 
 (c) Notice of Issuance; Application. The applicable Borrower shall give the applicable Fronting Bank and the Agent written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing) at least five Business Days (or such lesser number to which
the Fronting Bank may agree) prior to the requested Date of Issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice to be in substantially the form of Exhibit H hereto (a “Letter of Credit Request”). Such Borrower shall also execute and
deliver such customary letter of credit application forms as requested from time to time by such Fronting Bank. Such application forms shall indicate the identity of the Account Party and that such Borrower is the “Applicant” or shall
otherwise indicate that such Borrower is the obligor in respect of any Letter of Credit to be issued thereunder. If the terms or conditions of the application forms conflict with any provision of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall
govern. 
 (d) Issuance. Provided that the applicable Borrower has given the notice prescribed by
Section 2.18(c) and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV, the applicable Fronting Bank shall issue the
requested Letter of Credit on the requested Date of Issuance as set forth in the applicable Letter of Credit Request for the benefit of the stipulated Beneficiary and shall deliver the original of such Letter of Credit to the Beneficiary at the
address specified in the notice. At the request of the applicable Borrower, such Fronting Bank shall deliver a copy of each Letter of Credit to such Borrower within a reasonable time after the Date of Issuance thereof. Upon the request of such
Borrower, such Fronting Bank shall deliver to such Borrower a copy of any Letter of Credit proposed to be issued hereunder prior to the issuance thereof. 
 (e) Notice of Drawing. Each Fronting Bank shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower by telephone, facsimile or other telecommunication of any Drawing under a Letter of Credit issued
for the account of such Borrower by such Fronting Bank. 
 (f) Payments. Each Borrower hereby agrees to
pay to each Fronting Bank, in the manner provided in subsection (g) below: 
  

 36 

 (i) on each Drawing Date, an amount equal to the amount paid by such
Fronting Bank under any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower by such Fronting Bank; and 
 (ii) if any Drawing shall be reimbursed to any Fronting Bank after 12:00 noon (New York time) on the Drawing Date, interest on any and all amounts required to be paid pursuant to clause (i) of this subsection (f) from and
after the due date thereof until payment in full, payable on demand, at an annual rate of interest equal to 2.00% above Citibank, N.A.’s “base rate” as in effect from time to time. 
 (g) Method of Reimbursement. Each Borrower shall reimburse each Fronting Bank for each Drawing under any Letter of
Credit issued for the account of such Borrower by such Fronting Bank pursuant to subsection (f) above in the following manner: 
 (i) such Borrower shall immediately reimburse such Fronting Bank in the manner described in Section 2.18(l); or 
 (ii) if (A) such Borrower has not reimbursed such Fronting Bank pursuant to clause (i) above and (B) the applicable conditions to borrowing set forth in Articles II and IV
have been fulfilled, such Borrower may reimburse such Fronting Bank for such Drawing with the proceeds of an ABR Advance or, if the conditions specified in the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C) have been satisfied and a notice of
borrowing requesting a Eurodollar Ratable Advance has been given in accordance with Section 2.2.3, with the proceeds of a Eurodollar Ratable Advance. 
 (h) Nature of Fronting Banks’ Duties. In determining whether to honor any Drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by any Fronting Bank, such Fronting Bank shall be responsible only
to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under that Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of that Letter of Credit. Each Borrower otherwise assumes (as between
the Borrower and the Fronting Bank) all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any Letters of Credit issued by any Fronting Bank for the account of such Borrower by, the Beneficiary of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, but consistent with applicable law, no Fronting Bank shall be responsible, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct, (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any
document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any drawing honored under a Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or
forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit, or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may
prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, facsimile or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher;
(iv) for errors in 

  

 37 

 
interpretation of technical terms; (v) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under
any such Letter of Credit, or the proceeds thereof; (vi) for the misapplication by the Beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds of any drawing honored under such Letter of Credit; and (vii) for any consequences arising
from causes beyond the control of such Fronting Bank. None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of such Fronting Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. Not in limitation of the foregoing, any action taken or omitted to be
taken by any Fronting Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit shall not create against such Fronting Bank any liability to the Borrowers or any Lender, except for actions or omissions resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Fronting Bank or any of its agents or representatives, and the Fronting Bank shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Fronting Bank to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law.

 (i) Obligations of Borrowers Absolute. The obligation of each Borrower to reimburse each Fronting
Bank for Drawings honored under the Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower by such Fronting Bank shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all
circumstances including, without limitation, the following circumstances: 
 (i) any lack of validity or
enforceability of any Letter of Credit; 
 (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right
that any Borrower, any Account Party or any Affiliate of any Borrower or any Account Party may have at any time against a Beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons or entities for whom any such Beneficiary or transferee
may be acting), such Fronting Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction; 
 (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or any other documents presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged,
fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 
 (iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; 
 (v) any non-application or misapplication by the Beneficiary of the proceeds of any Drawing under a Letter of Credit; or

 (vi) the fact that a Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
 No payment made under this Section shall be deemed to be a waiver of any claim any Borrower may have against any Fronting Bank or any
other Person. 
  

 38 

 (j) Participations by Lenders. By the issuance of a Letter of
Credit and without any further action on the part of any Fronting Bank or any Lender in respect thereof, each Fronting Bank shall hereby be deemed to have granted to each Lender, and each Lender shall hereby be deemed to have acquired from such
Fronting Bank, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit (including any letter of credit issued by such Fronting Bank in substitution or exchange for such Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms thereof) equal to such
Lender’s Percentage of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to
such Fronting Bank, in accordance with this subsection (j), such Lender’s Percentage of each payment made by such Fronting Bank in respect of an unreimbursed Drawing under a Letter of Credit. Such Fronting Bank shall notify the Agent of the
amount of such unreimbursed Drawing honored by it not later than (x) 12:00 noon (New York time) on the date of payment of a draft under a Letter of Credit, if such payment is made at or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on such day, and
(y) the close of business (New York time) on the date of payment of a draft under a Letter of Credit, if such payment is made after 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on such day, and the Agent shall notify each Lender of the date and amount of such
unreimbursed Drawing under such Letter of Credit honored by such Fronting Bank and the amount of such Lender’s Percentage therein no later than (1) 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on such day, if such payment is made at or prior to 11:00 a.m.
(New York time) on such day, and (2) 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the next following Business Day, if such payment is made after 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on such day. Not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of receipt of a
notice of an unreimbursed Drawing by a Lender, such Lender agrees to pay to such Fronting Bank an amount equal to the product of (A) such Lender’s Percentage and (B) the amount of the payment made by such Fronting Bank in respect of
such unreimbursed Drawing. 
 If payment of the amount due pursuant to the preceding sentence from a Lender is received by
such Fronting Bank after the close of business on the date it is due, such Lender agrees to pay to such Fronting Bank, in addition to (and along with) its payment of the amount due pursuant to the preceding sentence, interest on such amount at a
rate per annum equal to (i) for the period from and including the date such payment is due to but excluding the second succeeding Business Day, the Federal Effective Funds Rate, and (ii) for the period from and including the second
Business Day succeeding the date such payment is due to but excluding the date on which such amount is paid in full, the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 2.00%. 
 (k) Obligations of Lenders Absolute. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that (i) its obligation to acquire a
participation in any Fronting Bank’s liability in respect of the Letters of Credit and (ii) its obligation to make the payments specified herein, and the right of each Fronting Bank to receive the same, in the manner specified herein, are
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, (A) the occurrence and continuance of any Default or Unmatured Default; (B) any other breach or default by any Borrower,
the Agent or any Lender hereunder; (C) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document; (D) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that the 

  

 39 

 
Lender may have at any time against any Borrower, any other Account Party, any Beneficiary, any Fronting Bank or any other Lender; (E) the existence of
any claim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower may have at any time against any Beneficiary, any Fronting Bank, the Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement or any other documents contemplated
hereby or any unrelated transactions; (F) any amendment or waiver of, or consent to any departure from, all or any of the Letters of Credit or this Agreement; (G) any statement or any document presented under any Letter of Credit proving
to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (H) payment by any Fronting Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that
does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, so long as such payment is not the consequence of such Fronting Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in determining whether documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply
with the terms thereof; (I) the occurrence of the Facility Termination Date; or (J) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Nothing herein shall prevent the assertion by any Lender of
a claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim, nor shall any payment made by a Lender under Section 2.18 hereof be deemed to be a waiver of any claim that a Lender may have against any Fronting Bank or any other Person. 

(l) Proceeds of Reimbursements. Upon receipt of a payment from a Borrower pursuant to subsection
(f) hereof, the applicable Fronting Bank shall promptly transfer to each Lender such Lender’s pro rata share (determined in accordance with such Lender’s Percentage) of such payment based on such Lender’s pro rata share
(determined as aforesaid) of amounts previously paid pursuant to subsection (j), above, and not previously transferred by such Fronting Bank pursuant to this subsection (l); provided, however, that if a Lender shall fail to pay to such Fronting Bank
any amount required by subsection (j) above by the close of business on the Business Day following the date on which such payment was due from such Lender, and such Borrower shall not have reimbursed such Fronting Bank for such amount pursuant
to subsection (f) hereof (such unreimbursed amount being hereinafter referred to as a “Transferred Amount”), such Fronting Bank shall be deemed to have purchased, on such following Business Day (a “Participation Transfer
Date”) from such Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”), a participation in such Transferred Amount and shall be entitled, for the period from and including the Participation Transfer Date to the earlier of (i) the date on which such
Borrower shall have reimbursed such Fronting Bank for such Transferred Amount and (ii) the date on which such Lender shall have reimbursed such Fronting Bank for such Transferred Amount (the “Participation Transfer Period”), to the
rights, privileges and obligations of a “Lender” under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred Amount, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a Lender hereunder, and shall not have any rights or interests of a Lender
hereunder, with respect to such Transferred Amount, and its Percentage shall be reduced accordingly with the amount by which such Percentage is reduced deemed held by such Fronting Bank during the Participation Transfer Period; and provided further,
however, that if, at any time after the occurrence of a Participation Transfer Date with respect to any Lender and prior to the reimbursement by such Lender of such Fronting Bank with respect to the related Transferred Amount pursuant to subsection
(j) above, such Fronting Bank shall receive any payment from such Borrower 

  

 40 

 
pursuant to subsection (f) hereof, such Fronting Bank shall not be obligated to pay any amounts to such Lender, and such Fronting Bank shall retain such
amounts (including, without limitation, interest payments due from such Borrower pursuant to subsection (f) hereof) for its own account as a Lender, provided that all such amounts shall be applied in satisfaction of the unpaid amounts
(including, without limitation, interest payments due from such Lender pursuant to subsection (j), above) due from such Lender with respect to such Transferred Amount. 
 If at any time after the occurrence of a Participation Transfer Date with respect to any Lender, the Agent shall receive any payment from any Borrower for the account of such Lender pursuant to
this Agreement, if at the time of receipt of such amounts by the Agent such Lender shall not have reimbursed the applicable Fronting Bank with respect to the related Transferred Amount pursuant to subsection (j) above, the Agent shall not pay
any such amounts to such Lender but shall pay all such amounts to such Fronting Bank, and such Fronting Bank shall retain such amounts for its own account as a Lender and apply such amounts in satisfaction of the unpaid amounts (including, without
limitation, interest payments due from such Lender pursuant to subsection (j) above) due from such Lender with respect to such Transferred Amount. 
 All payments due to the Lenders from any Fronting Bank pursuant to this subsection (l) shall be made to the Lenders if, as, and, to the extent possible, when such Fronting Bank receives payments in respect of
Drawings under the Letters of Credit pursuant to subsection (f) hereof, and in the same funds in which such amounts are received; provided that if any Lender to which such Fronting Bank is required to transfer any such payment (or any
portion thereof) pursuant to this subsection (l) does not receive such payment (or portion thereof) prior to (i) the close of business on the Business Day on which such Fronting Bank received such payment from such Borrower, if such
Fronting Bank received such payment prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on such day, or (ii) 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day next succeeding the Business Day on which such Fronting Bank received such payment from the Borrower, if
such Fronting Bank received such payment after 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on such day, such Fronting Bank agrees to pay to such Lender, along with its payment of the portion of such payment due to such Lender, interest on such amount at a rate per
annum equal to (A) for the period from and including the Business Day when such payment was required to be made to the Lenders to but excluding the second succeeding Business Day, the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (B) for the period
from and including the second Business Day succeeding the Business Day when such payment was required to be made to the Lenders to but excluding the date on which such amount is paid in full, the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 2.00%. The
provisions of this subsection (l) shall not affect or impair any of the obligations under this Agreement of any Defaulting Lender to any Fronting Bank, all of which shall remain unaffected by any default in payment by any Fronting Bank to such
Defaulting Lender. 
 (m) Concerning the Fronting Banks. Each Fronting Bank will exercise and give the
same care and attention to the Letters of Credit issued by it as it gives to its other letters of credit and similar obligations, and each Lender agrees that each Fronting Bank’s sole liability to each Lender shall be (i) to distribute
promptly, as and when received by such Fronting Bank, and in accordance with the provisions of subsection (l) above, such 

  

 41 

 
Lender’s pro rata share (determined in accordance with such Lender’s Percentage) of any payments to such Fronting Bank by the Borrowers pursuant to
subsection (f) above in respect of Drawings under the Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank, (ii) to exercise or refrain from exercising any right or to take or to refrain from taking any action under this Agreement or any Letter
of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank as may be directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or, when expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, all of the Lenders) or the Agent acting at the direction and on behalf of the Required Lenders
(or, when expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, all of the Lenders), except to the extent required by the terms hereof or thereof or by applicable law, and (iii) as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 2.18. No
Fronting Bank shall be liable for any action taken or omitted at the request or with approval of the Required Lenders (or, when expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, all of the Lenders) or of the Agent acting on behalf of the Required
Lenders (or, when expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, all of the Lenders) or for the nonperformance of the obligations of any other party under this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby.
Without in any way limiting any of the foregoing, each Fronting Bank may rely upon the advice of counsel concerning legal matters and upon any written communication or any telephone conversation that it believes to be genuine or to have been signed,
sent or made by the proper Person and shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning the performance by any Borrower, any Beneficiary or any other Person of any of their respective obligations and liabilities under or in respect of this
Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any other documents contemplated hereby or thereby. No Fronting Bank shall have any obligation to make any claim, or assert any Lien, upon any property held by such Fronting Bank or assert any offset thereagainst
in satisfaction of all or any part of the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder; provided that each Fronting Bank shall, if so directed by the Required Lenders or the Agent acting on behalf of and with the consent of the Required Lenders,
have an obligation to make a claim, or assert a Lien, upon property held by such Fronting Bank in connection with this Agreement, or assert an offset thereagainst. 
 Each Fronting Bank may accept deposits from, make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of banking or trust business with the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates,
or any other Person, and receive payment on such loans or extensions of credit and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability in the same manner as if it were not a Fronting Bank hereunder. 
 Each Fronting Bank makes no representation or warranty and shall have no responsibility with respect to: (i) the genuineness,
legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement or any other documents contemplated hereby; (ii) the truthfulness, accuracy or performance of any of the representations, warranties or agreements contained in this
Agreement or any other documents contemplated hereby; (iii) the collectibility of any amounts due under this Agreement; (iv) the financial condition of the Borrowers or any other Person; or (v) any act or omission of any Beneficiary
with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds of any Drawing under any Letter of Credit. 
 (n) Indemnification of Fronting Banks by Lenders. To the extent that any Fronting Bank is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrowers under Section 10.8  

  

 42 

 
hereof, each Lender agrees to reimburse and indemnify such Fronting Bank on demand, pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s Percentage, for and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Fronting Bank, in any
way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby, or any action taken or omitted by such Fronting Bank under or in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any
other document contemplated hereby or thereby; provided, however, that such Lender shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting from such Fronting Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; and provided further, however, that such Lender shall not be liable to such Fronting Bank or any other Lender for the failure of any
Borrower to reimburse such Fronting Bank for any drawing made under a Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower with respect to which such Lender has paid such Fronting Bank such Lender’s pro rata share (determined in accordance
with such Lender’s Percentage), or for such Borrower’s failure to pay interest thereon. Each Lender’s obligations under this subsection (n) shall survive the payment in full of all amounts payable by such Lender under subsection
(j) above, and the termination of this Agreement and the Letters of Credit. Nothing in this subsection (n) is intended to limit any Lender’s reimbursement obligation contained in subsection (j) above. 
 (o) Representations of Lenders. As between any Fronting Bank and the Lenders, by its execution and delivery of this
Agreement each Lender hereby represents and warrants solely to such Fronting Bank that (i) it is duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, and has full corporate power, authority
and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations to such Fronting Bank under this Agreement; and (ii) this Agreement constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof,
except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bank organization, moratorium, conservatorship or other laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors rights in general and the rights of creditors of banks, and
except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). 
 (p) Successor Fronting Bank. Any Fronting Bank may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Fronting Banks and the Borrowers, as long as such Fronting Bank has no Letters of
Credit outstanding under this Agreement. Upon such resignation, the Borrowers may designate one or more Lenders as Fronting Banks to replace the retiring Fronting Bank. 
 2.19 Subsidiary Borrowers.  
 (a)
Designation. Each Borrower (other than a Subsidiary Borrower) may, at any time or from time to time, designate one or more of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries which is a Domestic Subsidiary as a “Subsidiary Borrower” hereunder by
furnishing to the Agent (i) a Designation Letter in duplicate, duly completed and executed by such 

  

 43 

 
designating Borrower and such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, (ii) a Guaranty for any Subsidiary Borrower being designated, duly executed by such designating
Borrower, (iii) the items described in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (e) of Section 4.1 relating to such Subsidiary Borrower and Guaranty in such form and scope as the Agent shall reasonably request and (iv) such other
documents as the Agent shall reasonably request. Upon any such designation of a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall be a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder (with the related rights and obligations) and shall, for so long as it remains a
Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the respective Borrower be entitled to request Loans and Letters of Credit on and subject to the terms and conditions of, and to the extent provided in, this Agreement. 
 (b) Termination of Subsidiary Borrower Status. So long as all Loans made to any Subsidiary Borrower and any related
obligations have been paid in full, all Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Subsidiary Borrower have been cancelled or expired and all Reimbursement Obligations with respect thereto paid in full, the designating Borrower may terminate
the status of its Subsidiary Borrower as a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder by furnishing to the Agent a Termination Letter in duplicate, duly completed and executed by such Borrower and such Subsidiary. Any Termination Letter furnished hereunder shall
be effective upon receipt by the Agent, which shall promptly notify the Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of a Termination Letter with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower shall not terminate (i) any actual or contingent
Obligation of such Subsidiary Borrower that remains unpaid at the time of such delivery or (ii) the obligations of any Borrower under the corresponding Guaranty with respect to any such Obligations. 
 ARTICLE III 
 YIELD PROTECTION;
TAXES 
 3.1 Yield Protection. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any law or any
governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or applicable Lending Installation or any Fronting Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any
such authority, central bank or comparable agency: 
 (a) subjects any Lender, any applicable Lending
Installation or any Fronting Bank to any Taxes, or changes the basis of taxation of payments (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes) to any Lender or any Fronting Bank in respect of its Fixed Rate Loans, Letters of Credit or participations
therein, or 
 (b) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special
deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate
applicable to Fixed Rate Advances), or 
  

 44 

 (c) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the
cost to any Lender, any applicable Lending Installation or any Fronting Bank of making, funding or maintaining its Fixed Rate Loans, or of issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender, any applicable
Lending Installation or any Fronting Bank in connection with its Fixed Rate Loans, or requires any Lender, any applicable Lending Installation or any Fronting Bank to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Fixed Rate Loans,
Letters of Credit or participations therein held or interest or Letter of Credit fees received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender or such Fronting Bank, as the case may be, 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, the applicable Lending Installation, or such Fronting Bank, as the case may be, of making or maintaining its Fixed
Rate Loans or Commitment or of issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or to reduce the return received by such Lender, the applicable Lending Installation, or such Fronting Bank, as the case may be, in connection with such Fixed Rate Loans,
Commitment, Letters of Credit or participations therein, then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender or such Fronting Bank, as the case may be, the Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Fronting Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Fronting Bank, as the case may be, for such increased cost or reduction in amount received. 
 3.2 Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender or a Fronting Bank determines the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or such Fronting Bank, any Lending Installation
of such Lender or such Fronting Bank or any corporation controlling such Lender or Fronting Bank is increased as a result of a Change, then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender or such Fronting Bank, the Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such
Fronting Bank the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender or such Fronting Bank determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Outstanding Credits, Loans or
its Commitment to make Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit, as the case may be, hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s or such Fronting Bank’s policies as to capital adequacy). “Change” means
(a) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines or (b) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any or any Lender, any Fronting Bank or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling
any Lender or any Fronting Bank. “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding
capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled “International Convergence of Capital
Measurements and Capital Standards,” including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement. 
 3.3 Availability of Types of Advances. If (a) any Lender determines that maintenance of its Eurodollar Ratable Loans or Eurodollar Bid Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any
applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive, whether or not having 

  

 45 

 
the force of law, or (b) if the Required Lenders determine that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurodollar Ratable
Advances are not available or (ii) the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Ratable Advances does not accurately reflect the cost of making or maintaining Eurodollar Ratable Advances, then the Agent shall, in the case of clause
(a) above, suspend the availability of Eurodollar Ratable Advances and Eurodollar Bid Rate Advances and, pursuant to a notice given to the applicable Borrowers from the Agent, require any affected Eurodollar Rate Advances and Eurodollar Bid
Rate Advances to be repaid or converted to ABR Advances, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4, and, in the case of clause (b) above, suspend the availability of Eurodollar Ratable
Advances and, pursuant to a notice given to the applicable Borrowers from the Agent, require any affected Eurodollar Ratable Advances to be repaid or converted to ABR Rate Advances, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts
required by Section 3.4. 
 3.4 Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a Fixed Rate Advance occurs on
a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a Fixed Rate Advance is not made on the date specified by the requesting Borrower for any reason other than default by
the Lenders, such Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Fixed Rate Advance.

 3.5 Taxes. (a) All payments by the Borrowers to or for the account of any Lender, any Fronting Bank or the
Agent hereunder or under any Note or Letter of Credit application shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
hereunder to any Lender, any Fronting Bank or the Agent, (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 3.5) such Lender, such Fronting Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions,
(iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) such Borrower shall furnish to the Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days
after such payment is made. 
 (b) In addition, the Borrowers hereby agree to pay any present or future stamp
or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note
(“Other Taxes”). 
 (c) The Borrowers hereby agree to indemnify the Agent, each Lender and each
Fronting Bank for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.5) paid by the Agent, such Lender or such Fronting Bank and any liability
(including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Agent, such Lender or such Fronting Bank makes demand therefor pursuant to
Section 3.6. 
  

 46 

 (d) Each Lender and each Fronting Bank that is not incorporated under the
laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will, not more than ten Business Days after the date of this Agreement, (i) deliver to each of the Borrowers and the Agent two duly
completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal
income taxes, and (ii) deliver to each of the Borrowers and the Agent a United States Internal Revenue Form W-8 or W-9, as the case may be, and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Non-U.S.
Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrowers and the Agent (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (y) after the
occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Agent. All forms or amendments described in the preceding
sentence shall certify that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in
treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Non-U.S. Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form
or amendment with respect to it and such Non-U.S. Lender advises the Borrowers and the Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax. 
 (e) For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide any Borrower with an appropriate form pursuant to
clause (d), above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was
required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that, should a Non-U.S. Lender which is otherwise exempt
from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required under clause (d), above, such Borrower shall take such steps as such Non-U.S. Lender shall reasonably request to assist
such Non-U.S. Lender to recover such Taxes. 
 (f) Any Lender or Fronting Bank that is entitled to an
exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times
prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. 
 (g) If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or any other country or
any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the 

  

 47 

 
account of any Lender or any Fronting Bank (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender or such Fronting Bank
failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender or such Fronting Bank, as applicable, shall indemnify the Agent fully for all amounts paid,
directly or indirectly, by the Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Agent under this subsection, together with all costs and
expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees and time charges of attorneys for the Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Agent). The obligations of the Lenders and the Fronting Banks under this Section 3.5(g) shall survive
the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement. 
 (h) If any Lender or any Fronting Bank
receives a refund which it determines in its sole discretion to be in respect of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which such Borrower (or any Person acting on behalf of such Borrower) has paid
additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.5, then such Lender or such Fronting Bank, as applicable, shall promptly repay such refund to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by
such Borrower (or such Person acting on behalf of such Borrower) under this Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all amounts paid pursuant to Section 3.5(c) and all out-of-pocket expenses of
such Lender, such Fronting Bank or the Agent, as the case may be; provided, that such Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, such Fronting Bank or the Agent, agrees to return such refund (together with any penalties, interest or other
charges due in connection therewith to the appropriate taxing authority or other Governmental Authority) to such Lender, such Fronting Bank or the Agent in the event such Lender, such Fronting Bank or the Agent is required to pay or to return such
refund to the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority. 
 3.6 Lender Statements; Survival of
Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Eurodollar Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrowers to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2
and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of Eurodollar Ratable Advances under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written
statement of such Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon
which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrowers in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Eurodollar Loan shall be calculated as
though each Lender funded its Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurodollar Rate or Eurodollar Bid Rate, as the case may be, applicable to
such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender (which statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error) shall be payable within ten (10) days
after receipt by the Borrowers of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrowers under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

company duly and properly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is

approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, or other action in respect of any Governmental Authority, or any subdivision thereof, or any other Person (including without limitation
the shareholders or policyholders, as applicable, of any Person) which has not been obtained by such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, is required to be obtained by such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection 

  

 51 

 
with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the borrowings under this Agreement, the payment and performance by such Borrower of the Obligations
or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents. 
 5.4 Financial Statements.

 (a) In the case of Nationwide Mutual, the December 31, 2006 Annual Statement of Nationwide Mutual
heretofore delivered to the Lenders and the Fronting Banks was prepared in accordance with SAP, and such Annual Statement was prepared and fairly presents the financial condition and operations of Nationwide Mutual as at such date and the results of
its operations for the period then ended. 
 (b) In the case of Nationwide Life, the December 31, 2006
Annual Statement of Nationwide Life heretofore delivered to the Lenders and the Fronting Banks was prepared in accordance with SAP, and such Annual Statement was prepared and fairly presents the financial condition and operations of Nationwide Life
as at such date and the results of its operations for the period then ended. 
 (c) In the case of NFS, the
December 31, 2006 consolidated financial statements of NFS and its Subsidiaries heretofore delivered to the Lenders and the Fronting Banks were prepared in accordance with Agreement Accounting Principles, and such statements were prepared and

 5.5 Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2006, there has been no change in the business, Property, prospects,
condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.6 Taxes. Such Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States federal tax returns and all other material tax returns which are required to be filed and have paid all taxes due
pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with
Agreement Accounting Principles or SAP, as applicable, and as to which no Lien exists. The United States income tax returns of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries have been audited by the Internal Revenue Service through the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2002. No tax Liens have been filed and no material claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of such Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries in respect of any taxes or
other governmental charges are adequate. For the purpose of this Section 5.6, each reference to a Borrower shall be deemed to include a reference to all predecessor entities thereto. 
 5.7 Litigation and Contingent Obligations. There is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry
pending or, to the knowledge of any of their officers, threatened against or affecting such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on such Borrower or which seeks to 

  

 52 

 
prevent, enjoin or delay the making of any Extension of Credit. Other than any liability incident to any litigation, arbitration or proceeding which could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, neither such Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any material contingent obligations not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 5.4.

 5.8 Subsidiaries. Schedule 5.8 contains an accurate list of all Subsidiaries of such Borrower as of
December 17, 2007, setting forth the percentage of their respective capital stock or other ownership interests owned by such Borrower or other Subsidiaries of such Borrower. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or other
ownership interests of such Subsidiaries have been (to the extent such concepts are relevant with respect to such ownership interests) duly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. 
 5.9 ERISA. No Single Employer Plan has an Unfunded Liability. Neither such Borrower nor any other member of the Controlled Group
has incurred, or is reasonably expected to incur, any withdrawal liability to Multiemployer Plans. Each Plan complies in all material respects with all applicable requirements of law and regulations, no Reportable Event has occurred with respect to
any Plan. Neither such Borrower nor any other member of the Controlled Group has (i) withdrawn from any Plan or initiated steps to do so, or (ii) taken any steps to reorganize or terminate any Plan; provided, that if any such action
has been taken, it could not reasonably be expected to result in liability to the Borrower or any Subsidiary which would have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.10 Accuracy of Information. No information, exhibit or report furnished by such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Agent or to any Lender or any Fronting Bank in connection with the negotiation of, or
compliance with, the Loan Documents contained any material misstatement of fact or omitted to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading. 
 5.11 Regulation U. Margin stock (as defined in Regulation U) constitutes less than 25% of the value of those assets of such
Borrower and its Subsidiaries which are subject to any limitation on sale, pledge, or other restriction hereunder. 
 5.12
Material Agreements. Neither such Borrower nor any Material Subsidiary of such Borrower is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any charter or other corporate restriction which could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Neither such Borrower nor any Material Subsidiary of such Borrower is in default (beyond any applicable grace or notice period with respect thereto, if any) in the performance, observance or fulfillment of (a) any of the
obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement to which it is a party, which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (b) any monetary obligation under any agreement or instrument evidencing or
governing Indebtedness. 
 5.13 Compliance With Laws. Such Borrower and its Subsidiaries have complied with all
applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of their respective
Property except for any failure to 

  

 53 

 
comply with any of the foregoing which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.14 Plan Assets; Prohibited Transactions. With respect to Nationwide Mutual and NFS, such Borrower is not an entity deemed to
hold “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101 of an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) which is subject to Title I of ERISA or any plan within the meaning of Section 4975 of the
Code. With respect to Nationwide Life, such Borrower is not, as a result of the significant participation test found in 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101(a)(2)(ii) and (f), an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” of any employee benefit plan (as
defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) which is subject to Title I of ERISA or any plan within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code, because less than 25% of the value of any class or type of its equity interests is, or could be deemed to
be, held by benefit plan investors, as defined in 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101(f)(2). To the knowledge of the Borrower, neither the execution of this Agreement nor the making of Extensions of Credit hereunder gives rise to a prohibited transaction,
within the meaning of Section 406(a) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, that is not the subject of a prohibited transaction class exemption, all of the conditions of which are satisfied by the Borrower. 
 5.15 Environmental Matters. In the ordinary course of its business, the officers of such Borrower consider the effect of
Environmental Laws on the business of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which they identify and evaluate potential risks and liabilities accruing to such Borrower due to Environmental Laws. On the basis of this consideration, such
Borrower has concluded that Environmental Laws cannot reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither such Borrower nor any Subsidiary of such Borrower has received any notice to the effect that its operations are not in material
compliance with any of the requirements of applicable Environmental Laws or are the subject of any federal or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance
into the environment, which non-compliance or remedial action could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on such Borrower. 
 5.16 Investment Company Act. Such Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. 
 5.17 Defaults. No Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 5.18 Insurance Licenses. No License of such Borrower (in the case of Nationwide Mutual and Nationwide Life) or any Material
Insurance Subsidiary of such Borrower, the loss of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, is the subject of a proceeding for suspension or revocation. To such Borrower’s knowledge, there is no sustainable basis
for such suspension or revocation, and no such suspension or revocation has been threatened by any Governmental Authority.

 ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES 
 8.1 Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 occurs, (a) the obligation of each Lender
to make Loans, and the obligation of the Fronting Banks to issue 

  

 65 

 
Letters of Credit, shall automatically be terminated and (b) all Advances, an amount equal to the aggregate Stated Amount of all issued but undrawn
Letters of Credit (such amount being the “Letter of Credit Cash Cover”) and all other amounts payable under this Agreement shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers. 
 If any other Default occurs, the Required Lenders (or the Agent
with the consent of the Required Lenders) may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and the obligations of the Fronting Banks to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, or declare all Advances, the Letter of Credit Cash Cover
and all other amounts payable under this Agreement to be due and payable, or both, whereupon all such amounts shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which each Borrower hereby
expressly waives. 
 In the event that any Borrower is required to pay the Letter of Credit Cash Cover pursuant to this
Section, such payment shall be made in immediately available funds to the Agent, which shall hold such funds as collateral pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Agent and the Fronting Banks to secure Reimbursement Obligations in respect of
Letters of Credit then outstanding. 
 If, within 30 days after acceleration of the maturity of any or all of the Obligations
or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and the Fronting Banks to issue Letters of Credit to one or more of the Borrowers hereunder as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 7.6 or
7.7 with respect to any Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) may direct, and the Agent shall, by notice to the
affected Borrower or Borrowers, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination. 
 8.2 Amendments. Subject to
the provisions of this Article VIII, the Required Lenders (or the Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrowers may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions
to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrowers hereunder or waiving any Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of all of the
Lenders: 
 (a) Extend the final maturity of any Loan or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount
thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon; 
 (b) Reduce the
percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders; 
 (c) Extend the Facility Termination Date, or
reduce the amount or extend the payment date for, the mandatory payments required under Section 2.1.4, or increase the amount of the Commitment of any Lender hereunder, or permit the Borrowers to assign their rights under this Agreement;
and 
 (d) Amend this Section 8.2. 
  

 66 

 No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Agent shall be effective without the written consent of
the Agent. The Agent may waive payment of the fee required under Section 12.3.2 without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement. 
 8.3 Fronting Banks and Swing Line Lenders; Guaranty. No amendment, waiver or consent that would adversely affect the rights of, or increase the obligations of, any Fronting Bank, or that
would alter any provision hereof relating to or affecting Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank, shall be effective unless agreed to in writing by such Fronting Bank. No amendment, waiver or consent that would adversely affect the rights
of, or increase the obligations of, any Swing Line Lender, or that would alter provisions hereof relating to or affecting Swing Line Advances made by such Swing Line Lender, shall be effective unless agreed to in writing by such Swing Line Lender.
No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall release any guarantor from its obligations under any Guaranty, without the written consent of each Lender. 
 8.4 Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders, the Fronting Banks or the Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to
be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of an Extension of Credit to any Borrower notwithstanding the existence of a Default with respect to such Borrower or the inability of such Borrower to satisfy the conditions
precedent to such Extension of Credit shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment
or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders, the Fronting Banks or the Swing Line Banks, as applicable, required pursuant to
Section 8.2 or 8.3, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Agent, the Lenders and
the Fronting Banks until the Obligations have been paid in full.

other than the fee letter described in Section 10.13. 
 9.5 Several Obligations; Benefits of this
Agreement. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender or Fronting Bank shall be the partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the Agent is authorized to act as such). The
failure of any Lender or Fronting Bank to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender or Fronting Bank from any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit
upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns, provided, however, that the parties hereto expressly agree that each Arranger shall enjoy the benefits of the provisions of
Sections 9.6, 9.10 and 10.11 to the extent specifically set forth therein and shall have the right to enforce such provisions on its own behalf and in its own name to the same extent as if it were a party to this Agreement.

 9.6 Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Agent and the
Arrangers for any reasonable costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and time charges of attorneys for the Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Agent) paid or incurred by the Agent or
the Arrangers in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, syndication, review, amendment, modification, and administration of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower also jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Agent, the
Arrangers, the Fronting Banks and the Lenders for any costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees and time charges of attorneys for the Agent, the Arrangers, the Fronting Banks and the Lenders, which attorneys
may be employees of the Agent, the Arrangers, the Fronting Banks or the Lenders) paid or incurred by the Agent, the Arrangers or any Lender in connection with the collection and enforcement of the Loan Documents. Expenses being reimbursed by the
Borrowers under this Section include, without limitation, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Reports described in the following sentence. Each Borrower acknowledges that from time to time CUSA may prepare and may distribute to the
Lenders (but shall have no obligation or duty to prepare or to distribute to the Lenders) certain audit reports (the “Reports”) pertaining to such Borrower’s assets for internal use by CUSA from information furnished to it by
or on behalf of such Borrower, after CUSA has exercised its rights of inspection pursuant to this Agreement. 
 (b) Each Borrower hereby further jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Agent, each Arranger, each Lender, each Fronting Bank, their respective affiliates, and each of their directors, officers and employees against all losses,
claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor whether or not the Agent, any Arranger, any Fronting Bank, any Lender or any affiliate is a party
thereto) which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Extension
of Credit hereunder except to the extent that they are determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking 

  

 68 

 
indemnification and except as provided in Section 3.5. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 9.6 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement. 
 9.7 Numbers of Documents. All statements, notices, closing documents, and requests
hereunder shall be furnished to the Agent with sufficient counterparts so that the Agent may furnish one to each of the Lenders. 
 9.8 Accounting. Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made in accordance with Agreement Accounting Principles.

 9.9 Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable,
or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other
jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable. 
 9.10 Nonliability of
Lenders. The relationship between the Borrowers on the one hand and the Lenders, the Fronting Banks and the Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Agent, any Arranger, any Lender nor any Fronting Bank
shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Borrower. Neither the Agent, any Arranger, any Lender nor any Fronting Bank undertakes any responsibility to any Borrower to review or inform such Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase
of such Borrower’s business or operations. Each Borrower agrees that neither the Agent, any Arranger, any Lender nor any Fronting Bank shall have liability to such Borrower (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered
by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is
determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought. Neither the Agent, any Arranger, any Lender nor
any Fronting Bank shall have any liability with respect to, and each Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue for, any special, indirect or consequential damages suffered by such Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any
way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby. 
 9.11 Confidentiality. Each Lender and
each Fronting Bank agrees to hold any confidential information which it may receive from the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure (a) to its Affiliates and to other Lenders and their respective Affiliates,
provided that such Persons agree to keep such information confidential to the same extent required by the Lenders hereunder, (b) to legal counsel, accountants, and other professional advisors to such Lender or to a Transferee, (c) to

disclose such information, (f) of public information such Lender receives from any Borrower to its direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap agreements or to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to such
counterparties, and (g) permitted by 

  

 69 

 
Section 12.4. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, confidential information shall not include, and each Lender (and each employee,
representative or other agent of any Lender) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the “tax treatment” and “tax structure” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are or have been provided to such Lender relating to such tax treatment or tax structure; provided
that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning such tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby as well as other information, this sentence shall only apply to such
portions of the document or similar item that relate to such tax treatment or tax structure. 
 9.12 Nonreliance. Each
Lender and each Fronting Bank hereby represents that it is not relying on or looking to any margin stock (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) for the repayment of the Extensions of Credit provided for
herein. 
 9.13 Disclosure. Each Borrower and each Lender and each Fronting Bank hereby acknowledge and agree that
CUSA and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with any Borrower and its Affiliates.

 IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money
laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or entity that opens an account, including any deposit account, treasury management account, loan, other
extension of credit, or other financial services product. What this means for the Borrowers: When a Borrower opens an account, if such Borrower is an individual, the Agent and the Lenders will ask for such Borrower’s name, residential address,
tax identification number, date of birth, and other information that will allow the Agent and the Lenders to identify such Borrower, and, if such Borrower is not an individual, the Agent and the Lenders will ask for such Borrower’s name, tax
identification number, business address, and other information that will allow the Agent and the Lenders to identify such Borrower. The Agent and the Lenders may also ask, if such Borrower is an individual, to see such Borrower’s driver’s
license or other identifying documents, and, if such Borrower is not an individual, to see such Borrower’s legal organizational documents or other identifying documents. 
 ARTICLE X 
 THE AGENT 
 10.1 Appointment; Nature of Relationship. CUSA is hereby appointed by each of the Lenders as its contractual representative
(herein referred to as the “Agent”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders and each of the Fronting Banks irrevocably authorizes the Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Lender and such
Fronting Bank with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The 

  

 70 

 
Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article X. Notwithstanding the use of the
defined term “Agent,” it is expressly understood and agreed that the Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender or any Fronting Bank by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that the Agent is merely
acting as the contractual representative of the Lenders and the Fronting Banks with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders’ and the Fronting Banks’
contractual representative, the Agent (a) does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders or any of the Fronting Banks, (b) is a “representative” of the Lenders and the Fronting Banks within the meaning of
Section 9-105 of the Uniform Commercial Code and (c) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders and
each of the Fronting Banks hereby agrees to assert no claim against the Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender and each Fronting Bank hereby waives. 
 10.2 Powers. The Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent
by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent shall have no implied duties to the Lenders or the Fronting Banks, or any obligation to the Lenders or the Fronting Banks to take any action
thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Agent. 
 10.3 General
Immunity. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrowers, any Borrower, the Lenders, any Lender, the Fronting Banks, or any Fronting Bank for any action taken or omitted to be taken by
it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or inaction is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person. 
 10.4 No Responsibility for Loans, Letters of Credit, Recitals,
etc. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan
Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to
each Lender and each Fronting Bank; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the Agent; (d) the existence or possible existence of any Default or
Unmatured Default; (e) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (f) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection or
priority of any Lien in any collateral security; or (g) the financial condition of any Borrower or any guarantor of any of the Obligations or of any Borrower’s or any such guarantor’s respective Subsidiaries. The Agent shall have no
duty to disclose to the Lenders or to the Fronting Banks information that is not required to be furnished by any Borrower to the Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished by any Borrower to the Agent (either in its capacity as Agent or in its
individual capacity). 
  

 71 

 10.5 Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto
shall be binding on all of the Lenders and the Fronting Banks. The Lenders and the Fronting Banks hereby acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it
shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders and the Fronting Banks pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. 
 10.6 Employment of Agents and Counsel. The Agent may execute any of its duties as Agent hereunder and under any other Loan
Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders or to the Fronting Banks, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such
agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning the contractual arrangement between the Agent, the Lenders and the Fronting Banks and all matters pertaining to the
Agent’s duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document. 
 10.7 Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Agent
shall be entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in
respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Agent. 
 10.8 Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders and the Fronting Banks agree to reimburse and indemnify the Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments have been terminated, in
proportion to their Commitments immediately prior to such termination) (a) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrowers for which the Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents, (b) for any other
expenses incurred by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders and the Fronting Banks, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for any expenses incurred
by the Agent in connection with any dispute between the Agent, any Lender, any Fronting Bank or between two or more of the Lenders and/or the Fronting Banks) and (c) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in
connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the Agent in connection with any dispute between the Agent, any Lender, any Fronting Bank or between
two or more of the Lenders and/or the Fronting Banks), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other documents, provided that (i) no Lender or Fronting Bank shall be liable for any of the foregoing to
the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross 

  

 72 

 
negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent and (ii) any indemnification required pursuant to Section 3.5(g) shall, notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 10.8, be paid by the relevant Lender or Fronting Bank in accordance with the provisions thereof. The obligations of the Lenders and the Fronting Banks under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment
of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement. 
 10.9 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder unless the Agent has received written notice from a Lender, a Fronting Bank or a Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Unmatured Default
and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders and the Fronting Banks. 
 10.10 Rights as a Lender or a Fronting Bank. In the event the Agent is a Lender or a Fronting Bank, the Agent shall have the same
rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document with respect to its Commitment and its Extensions of Credit as any Lender or Fronting Bank, as applicable, and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term
“Lender, “Lenders”, “Fronting Bank” or “Fronting Banks” shall, at any time when the Agent is a Lender or a Fronting Bank, as applicable, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual
capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with any
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which such Borrower or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person. The Agent, in its individual capacity, is not obligated to remain a Lender or a Fronting Bank. 
 10.11 Lender and Fronting Bank Credit Decision. Each Lender and each Fronting Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Agent, any Arranger, any other Lender or any other Fronting Bank and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrowers and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender and each Fronting Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Arranger, any other Lender or any other
Fronting Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 10.12 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Fronting Banks and
the Borrowers, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Agent or, if no successor Agent has been appointed, forty-five days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. The Agent may be removed at any
time with or without cause by written notice received by the Agent from the Required Lenders, such removal to be effective on the date specified by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right
to appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Fronting Banks, a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within thirty days after the resigning Agent’s giving notice of its
intention to resign, then the resigning Agent may appoint, 

  

 73 

 
on behalf of the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Fronting Banks, a successor Agent. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Agent may at any time without
the consent of any Borrower, any Lender or any Fronting Bank, appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank as a successor Agent hereunder. If the Agent has resigned or been removed and no successor Agent has been appointed, the Lenders
and the Fronting Banks may perform all the duties of the Agent hereunder and the Borrowers shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lender and Fronting Bank and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the
Lenders and the Fronting Banks. No successor Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Agent has accepted the appointment. Any such successor Agent shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at
least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or removed
Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of the Agent, the resigning or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation or
removal of an Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents. In the event that there is a successor to the Agent by merger, or the Agent assigns its duties and obligations to an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 10.12, then the term “Prime Rate” as used in this Agreement
shall mean the prime rate, base rate or other analogous rate of the new Agent. 
 10.13 Agent and Arranger Fees. The
Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent and the Arrangers, for their respective accounts, the fees agreed to by (a) the Borrowers and CGMI pursuant to that certain letter agreement dated April 7, 2005 and (b) the Borrowers and WCM
pursuant to the certain letter agreement dated April 5, 2005. 
 10.14 Delegation to Affiliates. The Borrower,
the Lenders and the Fronting Banks agree that the Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties in
connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Agent is entitled under Articles IX and X. 
 10.15 Co-Agents, Documentation Agent, Syndication Agent, Managing Agent, etc. Neither any of the Lenders identified in this
Agreement as a “co-agent” nor any Documentation Agent, Syndication Agent or Senior Managing Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders
and Fronting Banks as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender or any Fronting Bank. Each Lender and each Fronting Bank hereby makes the same acknowledgments
with respect to such Lenders as it makes with respect to the Agent in Section 10.11. 
  

 74 

 ARTICLE XI 
 SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS 
 11.1 Setoff. In addition to, and without
limitation of, any rights of the Lenders and the Fronting Banks under applicable law, if any Borrower becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Default occurs, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and
whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender, any Fronting Bank or any Affiliate of any Lender or any Fronting Bank to or for the credit or account of such Borrower may be offset and
applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender or such Fronting Bank, whether or not the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall then be due. 
 11.2 Ratable Payments. If any Lender or any Fronting Bank, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Extensions of Credit (other than payments received pursuant to
Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5 or payments of principal or interest on Competitive Bid Loans by any Borrower at a time when no Default is continuing with respect to such Borrower) in a greater proportion than that
received by any other Lender, such Lender or Fronting Bank, as applicable, agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Extensions of Credit held by the other Lenders and Fronting Banks so that after such purchase each Lender and
Fronting Bank will hold its ratable proportion of Extensions of Credit. If any Lender or Fronting Bank, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its
Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender or Fronting Bank, as applicable, agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders and Fronting Banks share in the benefits of such collateral
ratably in proportion to their Extensions of Credit. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made. 
 ARTICLE XII 
 BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS 
 12.1 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Borrowers, the Lenders, the Fronting Banks and their respective successors and assigns, except that (a) no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents and (b) any assignment by any Lender must
be made in compliance with Section 12.3. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (b) of this Section 12.1 relates only to absolute assignments and does not prohibit assignments creating security interests,
including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by any Lender or any Fronting Bank of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, any Letter of Credit application and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided,
however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender or Fronting Bank, as applicable, from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions
of Section 12.3. The Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan, issued any Letter of Credit or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 12.3;
provided, however, that the Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the 

  

 75 

 
Person which made any Loan, issued any Letter of Credit or which holds any Note to direct payments relating to such Loan, Letter of Credit or Note to another
Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Loan, Letter of Credit or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time
of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Letter of Credit or Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee
of the rights to such Letter of Credit or Loan. 
 12.2 Participations. 
 12.2.1. Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance
with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Outstanding Credits owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other
interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of its Outstanding Credits and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all
amounts payable by the Borrowers under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrowers and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. 
 12.2.2. Voting Rights. Each
Lender, each Fronting Bank and each Swing Line Lender, as applicable, shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than any
amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Extension of Credit or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which would require consent of all of the Lenders, the Fronting Banks or the Swing Line Lenders, as applicable,
pursuant to the terms of Section 8.2 and 8.3 or of any other Loan Document. 
 12.2.3.
Benefit of Setoff. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same
extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents, provided that each Lender and each Fronting Bank shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 with
respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders and the Fronting Banks agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1, agrees
to share with each Lender and each Fronting Bank, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2 as if each Participant were a Lender. 
  

 76 

 12.3 Assignments. 
 12.3.1. Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with
applicable law, at any time assign to one or more banks or other entities (“Purchasers”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C or
in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto. The consent of the Borrowers and the Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof;
provided, however, that if a Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrowers shall not be required. Such consent of the Agent and, if applicable, the Borrowers shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The
consent of each Fronting Bank (in its sole discretion) and each Swing Line Lender (in its sole discretion) shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective. Each such assignment with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an
Affiliate thereof shall (unless each of the Borrowers and the Agent otherwise consents) be in an amount not less than the lesser of (a) $10,000,000 or (b) the remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment (calculated as at the
date of such assignment) or outstanding Loans (if the applicable Commitment has been terminated). 
 12.3.2.
Effect; Effective Date. Upon (a) delivery to the Agent of an assignment, together with any consents required by Section 12.3.1, and (b) payment to the Agent by the Purchaser or the Lender of a $3,500 fee in respect of
any assignment under this Section 12.3 for processing such assignment (unless such fee is waived by the Agent), such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such assignment. The assignment shall contain a
representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment and Loans under the applicable assignment agreement constitutes “plan assets” as defined under ERISA and that the
rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and
any other Loan Document executed by or on behalf of the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by the
Borrowers, the Lenders or the Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender with respect to the percentage of the Aggregate Commitment and Outstanding Credits assigned to such Purchaser. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a
Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.3.2, the transferor Lender, the Agent and the Borrowers shall, if the transferor Lender or the Purchaser desires that its Loans be evidenced by Notes, make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes
or, as appropriate, replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Commitments, as adjusted
pursuant to such assignment. 
 12.4 Dissemination of Information. Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to
any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all 

  

 77 

 
information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including without limitation any
information contained in any Reports; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by Section 9.11 of this Agreement. 
 12.5 Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State
thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5(d). 
 12.6 Designation. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Designating Lender”) may grant to one or more special purpose funding vehicles
(each, an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Designating Lender to the Agent and the Borrowers, the option to provide to the Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that such Designating Lender would otherwise be
obligated to make to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan, (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all
or any part of such Loan, the Designating Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) the Designating Lender shall remain liable for any indemnity or other payment obligation with respect to its Commitment
hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Designating Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Designating Lender. 
 (b) As to any Loans or portion thereof made by it, each SPV shall have all the rights that a Lender making such Loans or
portion thereof would have had under this Agreement; provided, however, that each SPV shall have granted to its Designating Lender an irrevocable power of attorney, to deliver and receive all communications and notices under this
Agreement (and any Loan Documents) and to exercise on such SPV’s behalf, all of such SPV’s voting rights under this Agreement. In the event that any Notes have been issued to the Designated Lender hereunder, no additional Notes shall be
required to evidence the Loans or portion thereof made by an SPV; and the related Designating Lender shall be deemed to hold its Notes as agent for such SPV to the extent of the Loans or portion thereof funded by such SPV. In addition, any payments
for the account of any SPV shall be paid to its Designating Lender as agent for such SPV. 
 (c) Each party
hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or payment under this Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreements shall survive the
termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it will not institute against, or join any other person in
instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. 
 (d) In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.6 or otherwise in this
Agreement, any SPV may (i) at any time and without 

  

 78 

 
paying any processing fee therefor, assign or participate all or a portion of its interest in any Loans to the Designating Lender or, with the prior consent
of the Borrowers and the Agent (provided, that if a Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrowers shall not be required) to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV
to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loan to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity
enhancements to such SPV, provided that such Persons agree to keep such information confidential to the same extent required by the Lenders hereunder. This Section 12.6 may not be amended without the written consent of any Designating
Lender affected thereby. 
 ARTICLE XIII 
 NOTICES 
 13.1 Notices. Except as otherwise permitted by
Section 2.12 with respect to borrowing notices and except as provided in Section 2.17, 2.18 and 13.2, all notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including
electronic transmission, facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party: (a) in the case of any Borrower or the Agent, at its address or facsimile number set forth on the signature pages hereof, (b) in the case
of any Lender or any Fronting Bank, at its address or facsimile number set forth below its signature hereto or (c) in the case of any party, at such other address or facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice
to the Agent and the Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.1. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the facsimile
number specified in this Section and confirmation of receipt is received, (ii) if given by mail, 72 hours after such communication is deposited in the mails with first class postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid, or (iii) if given by any
other means, when delivered (or, in the case of electronic transmission, received) at the address specified in this Section; provided that notices to the Agent under Article II shall not be effective until received. 
 13.2 Electronic Communications. 
 (a) Each Borrower hereby agrees that, unless otherwise requested by the Agent, it will provide to the Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the
Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) relates
to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or interest period relating thereto), (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due
under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Default or Unmatured Default under this Agreement, (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this
Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder or (v) initiates or responds to legal process (all such non-excluded information being referred to herein collectively as the “Communications”) by 

  

 79 

 
either (A) transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium (provided such Communications contain any required signatures) in a format
acceptable to the Agent to oploanswebadmin@citigroup.com (or such other e-mail address designated by the Agent from time to time) or (B) delivering to the Agent a CD-ROM, DVD or similar digital media containing the Communications.

 (b) Each party hereto agrees that the Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders and the
Fronting Banks by posting the Communications on IntraLinks or another relevant website, if any, to which each Lender, each Fronting Bank and the Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Agent) (the
“Platform”). Nothing in this Section 13.2 shall prejudice the right of the Agent to make the Communications available to the Lenders and the Fronting Banks in any other manner specified in the Loan Documents. 
 (c) Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that certain of the Lenders and the Fronting Banks may be “public-side”
Lenders or Fronting Banks (i.e., Lenders or Fronting Banks that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrowers or their securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). Each Borrower hereby agrees that
(i) Communications that are to be made available on the Platform to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the
first page thereof, (ii) by marking Communications “PUBLIC,” each Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Agent, the Lenders and the Fronting Banks to treat such Communications as either publicly available information or not
material information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to such Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws, (iii) all Communications marked “PUBLIC” are
permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor,” and (iv) the Agent shall be entitled to treat any Communications that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting
on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.” 
 (d)Each Lender and each Fronting
Bank agrees that e-mail notice to it (at the address provided pursuant to the next sentence and deemed delivered as provided in the next paragraph) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery
of such Communications to such Lender and such Fronting Bank for purposes of this Agreement. Each Lender and each Fronting Bank agrees (i) to notify the Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time to ensure that
the Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender or such Fronting Bank to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address. 
 (e) Each party hereto agrees that any electronic communication referred to in this Section 13.2 shall be
deemed delivered upon the posting of a record of such communication (properly addressed to such party at the e-mail address provided to the Agent) as “sent” in the e-mail system of the sending party or, in the case of any such
communication to the Agent, upon the posting of a record of such communication as “received” in the e-mail system of the Agent; provided that if such communication is not 

  

 80 

 
so received by the Agent during the normal business hours of the Agent, such communication shall be deemed delivered at the opening of business on the next
Business Day for the Agent. 
 (f) Each party hereto acknowledges that (i) the distribution of material
through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Communications and the Platform are provided “as is” and “as available,”
(iii) none of the Agent, its affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (collectively, the “Citigroup Parties”) warrants the adequacy of the Platform or the accuracy or
completeness of any Communications, and each Citigroup Party expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in any Communications or the Platform, and (iv) no warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without
limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Citigroup Party in connection with any Communications or the
Platform. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ADVISORS OR REPRESENTATIVES (COLLECTIVELY, “AGENT PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE BORROWER, ANY LENDER,
ANY FRONTING BANK OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THE
BORROWER’S OR THE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY AGENT PARTY IS FOUND IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED
PRIMARILY FROM SUCH AGENT PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. 
 13.3 Change of Address. Any
Borrower, the Agent, any Lender and any Fronting Bank may each change the address for service of notice upon it by a notice in writing to the other parties hereto. 
 ARTICLE XIV 
 COUNTERPARTS 
 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and any of the
parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. This Agreement shall be effective when it has been executed by the Borrowers, the Agent, the Lenders the Fronting Banks and each party has notified the Agent by facsimile
transmission or telephone that it has taken such action. 
  

 81 

 ARTICLE XV 
 CHOICE OF LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL 
 15.1
CHOICE OF LAW. THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINING A CONTRARY EXPRESS CHOICE OF LAW PROVISION) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO
NATIONAL BANKS. 
 15.2 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE
NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS AND EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN
RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS
AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY FRONTING BANK TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY ANY BORROWER AGAINST THE AGENT,
ANY LENDER, ANY FRONTING BANK OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY FRONTING BANK INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN
NEW YORK, NEW YORK. 
 15.3 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH BORROWER, THE AGENT, EACH LENDER AND EACH
FRONTING BANK HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE
RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER. 
 ARTICLE XVI 
 AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT 
 16.1. Subject to Section 16.2, on the
Closing Date the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended, restated and superseded in its entirety hereby. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) this Agreement, any Notes delivered pursuant to Section 2.3.5 and the
other Loan Documents executed and delivered in connection herewith do not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing, or termination of the “Obligations” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement
as in effect prior to the Closing Date and (b)

  

 82 

 
such “Obligations” are in all respects continuing hereunder with only the terms thereof being modified as provided in this Agreement. 

16.2. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that this Agreement is executed by the Required Lenders but not by
all the Lenders, then this Agreement shall not restate and supersede the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety but shall instead be deemed an amendment of the Existing Credit Agreement effecting the modifications to the Existing Credit Agreement
included herein and in the Schedules hereto. 
 16.3. Notwithstanding the modifications effected by this Agreement of the
representations, warranties and covenants of the Borrowers contained in the Existing Credit Agreement, the Borrowers acknowledge and agree that any causes of action or other rights created in favor of any Lender and its successors arising out of the
representations and warranties of the Borrowers contained in or delivered (including representations and warranties delivered in connection with the making of the loans or other extensions of credit thereunder) in connection with the Existing Credit
Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement; provided, however, that it is understood and agreed that the Borrowers’ monetary obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement in respect of the loans thereunder are
continued and evidenced by this Agreement and that all indemnification obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement are continued hereunder.

 For the purposes of this Schedule, the following terms have the following

to Nationwide Mutual or Nationwide Life, at any date if, on such date, such Person’s Moody’s Rating is Aa2 or better or such Person’s S&P Rating is AA or better and (b) with respect to NFS, at any date if, on such date,
NFS’s Moody’s Rating is A1 or better or NFS’s S&P Rating is A+ or better. 
 “Level II

Moody’s Rating is Aa3 or better or such Person’s S&P Rating is AA- or better and (ii) with respect to NFS, NFS’s Moody’s Rating is A2 or better or NFS’s S&P Rating is A or better.

qualified for Level I Status or Level II Status and (b) (i) with respect to Nationwide Mutual or Nationwide Life, such Person’s Moody’s Rating is A1 or better or such Person’s S&P Rating is A+ or better and
(ii) with respect to NFS, NFS’s Moody’s Rating is A3 or better or NFS’s S&P Rating is A- or better.

better or such Person’s S&P Rating is A- or better and (ii) with respect to NFS, NFS’s Moody’s Rating is Baa2 or better or NFS’s S&P Rating is BBB or better. 
 “Level VI Status” exists with respect to any Borrower at any date if, on such date, such Borrower has not qualified for
Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status, Level IV Status, or Level V Status. 

 “Moody’s Rating” means, at any time, (a) with respect to
Nationwide Mutual and Nationwide Life, the financial strength rating issued by Moody’s and then in effect with respect to such Person, and (b) with respect to NFS, the rating issued by Moody’s and then in effect with respect to

 “Status” means either Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status, Level IV Status, Level V Status or Level VI Status. 
 The Applicable Margin and the Applicable Facility Fee Rate with respect to each Borrower shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing table based on such Borrower’s Status as
determined from its then-current Moody’s and S&P Ratings. The Applicable Utilization Fee Rate shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing table based on the Status of the Borrower which has the lowest Status (with Level I Status
being the highest Status and Level VI Status being the lowest Status) of all Borrowers to which Advances are then outstanding. 
 The credit rating in effect on any date for the purposes of this Schedule is that in effect at the close of business on such date. If at any time a Borrower has no Moody’s Rating or no S&P Rating, Level VI Status shall exist.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Moody’s Rating and the S&P Rating are more than one level apart, then Status shall be based on the level which is one level above the lower of the two levels.

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Credit Agreement. 
 2. ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION. The Assignor hereby sells and assigns to the Assignee, and the Assignee hereby purchases and assumes from the Assignor, an interest in and to the Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Credit

 FORM OF GUARANTY 
 (Section 2.19(a)) 
 GUARANTY, dated as of             ,
200    , made by the undersigned (the “Guarantor”), in favor of the Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below), Citibank USA, Inc. (“Citibank”), as Agent for the Lenders (the
“Agent”), the fronting banks party to the Credit Agreement referred to below from time to time (the “Fronting Banks”) and the swing line lenders party to the Credit Agreement referred to below from time to time (the “Swing
Line Lenders”, and together with the Lenders, the Agent and the Fronting Banks, the “Beneficiaries”). 
 PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

 The Guarantor, [Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company], [Nationwide Life Insurance Company] and [Nationwide
Financial Services, Inc.] (together, the “Borrowers”), are parties to a Second Amended and Restated Five Year Credit Agreement, dated as of December 31, 2007 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; the capitalized terms defined therein and not otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined), with the Beneficiaries. The Guarantor may receive, directly or indirectly, a portion
of the proceeds of the Extensions of Credit under the Credit Agreement and will derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement. It is a condition precedent to the Guarantor’s
designation of                      (the “Guaranteed Borrower”) as a “Subsidiary Borrower” under the Credit Agreement that
the Guarantor deliver this Guaranty. The Guarantor desires to deliver this Guaranty in fulfillment of such condition. 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Beneficiaries to make Advances to, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Guaranteed Borrower and to otherwise satisfy their obligations under the Credit Agreement,
the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows: 
 SECTION 1. Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. 
 The Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity
or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all payment, performance and other obligations of the Guaranteed Borrower now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including, without
limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, reimbursement obligations,
premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise, including, without limitation, (i) the obligation of the Guaranteed Borrower to pay principal, interest, Letter of Credit fees, charges, expenses, fees,
attorneys’ fees and disbursements, indemnities and other amounts payable by the Guaranteed Borrower under any Loan Document, (ii) the obligation of the Guaranteed Borrower to reimburse any amount in respect of any drawing under any Letter
of Credit issued for the account of the Guaranteed Borrower and (iii) any liability of the Guaranteed 

 
Borrower on any claim, whether or not the right of any creditor to payment in respect of such claim is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed,
contingent, matured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured, and whether or not such claim is discharged, stayed or otherwise affected by any proceeding (such obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and
agrees to pay any and all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by any Beneficiary in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document. 
 The Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, each Beneficiary hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that
this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations of the Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law (as hereinafter defined), the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent
Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Beneficiaries and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the
Guaranteed Obligations at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Guaranteed Obligations not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. For purposes hereof, “Bankruptcy Law” means any proceeding of the
type referred to in Section 7.6 or 7.7 of the Credit Agreement or Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar foreign, federal or state law for the relief of debtors. 
 SECTION 2. Guaranty Absolute. 
 The Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any
jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Beneficiary with respect thereto. The obligations of the Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations the
Guaranteed Borrower under or in respect of the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Guaranteed
Borrower or whether the Guaranteed Borrower is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any
defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following: 
 (a) any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto; 
 (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of any other Borrower under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or
waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to the Guaranteed Borrower or any other Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or otherwise; 

 (c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or
any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; 
 (d) any manner of application of any collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any of
the Guaranteed Obligations or any other assets of the Guaranteed Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; 
 (e)
any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Guaranteed Borrower or any other Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; 
 (f) any failure of any Beneficiary to disclose to the Guarantor any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of
the Guaranteed Borrower now or hereafter known to such Beneficiary (the Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of Beneficiaries to disclose such information); 
 (g) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Guaranty or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of the Guarantor or other guarantor or surety
with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or 
 (h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation,
any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Beneficiary that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Guarantor or any other guarantor or surety. 
 This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must
otherwise be returned by any Beneficiary or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Guarantor, the Guaranteed Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 
 SECTION 3. Waivers and Acknowledgments. 
 (a) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration,
protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or
take any action against the Guaranteed Borrower or any other Person or any collateral. 

 (b) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right
to revoke this Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future. 
 (c) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or
defense based upon an election of remedies by any Beneficiary that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of the Guarantor or other
rights of the Guarantor to proceed against the Guaranteed Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person or any collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations. 
 (d) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any
Beneficiary to disclose to the Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of the Guaranteed Borrower or any other Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Beneficiary. 
 (e) The Guarantor acknowledges that it will
receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 2 and this Section 3 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

 SECTION 4. Subrogation. 
 The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Guaranteed Borrower that arise from the existence, payment, performance or
enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy
of any Beneficiary against the Guaranteed Borrower, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Guaranteed Borrower,
directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this
Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, all Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Guaranteed Borrower shall have expired or been terminated and the Commitments relating to the Guaranteed Borrower shall have expired or been
terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the latest of (a) the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under
this Guaranty, (b) the Facility Termination Date, and (c) the latest date of expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Guaranteed Borrower, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the
benefit of the Beneficiaries, shall be segregated from other property and funds of the Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be 

 
credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the
terms of the Loan Documents, or to be held as collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If (i) the Guarantor shall make payment to any Beneficiary of all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, (iii) the Facility Termination Date shall have occurred and (iv) all Letters of
Credit shall have expired or been terminated, the Beneficiaries will, at the Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to the Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to
evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment made by the Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty. 
 SECTION 5. Payments Free and Clear of Taxes, Etc. 
 (a)
Any and all payments made by the Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 3.5 of the Credit Agreement, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or
future taxes. If the Guarantor shall be required by law to deduct any taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to any Beneficiary, (i) the sum payable by the Guarantor shall be
increased as may be necessary so that after the Guarantor and the Agent have made all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5), such Beneficiary receives an amount equal to the
sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Guarantor shall make all such deductions and (iii) the Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance
with applicable law. 
 (b) In addition, the Guarantor agrees to pay any present or future Other Taxes that
arise from any payment made by or on behalf of the Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Guaranty and the
other Loan Documents. 
 (c) The Guarantor agrees to indemnify each Beneficiary for and hold it harmless
against the full amount of taxes and Other Taxes, (including, without limitation, any taxes or Other Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 5) imposed on or paid by such Beneficiary and any
liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Beneficiary makes written demand therefor. 
 (d) From time to time thereafter if requested by the Guarantor or the Agent, each Beneficiary organized under the laws of
a jurisdiction outside the United States shall provide the Agent, each Fronting Bank, each Swing Line Lender and the Guarantor with the forms prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States certifying that such Beneficiary is exempt
from United States withholding taxes with respect to all payments to be made to such Beneficiary hereunder. If for any reason during the term of 

 
this Guaranty, any Beneficiary becomes unable to submit the forms referred to above or the information or representations contained therein are no longer
accurate in any material respect, such Beneficiary shall promptly notify the Agent, each Fronting Bank, each Swing Line Lender and the Guarantor in writing to that effect. Unless the Guarantor, the Fronting Banks, the Swing Line Lenders and the
Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments hereunder are not subject to United States withholding tax, the Guarantor, each Fronting Bank, each Swing Line Lender or the Agent shall withhold taxes from
such payments at the applicable statutory rate in the case of payments to or for any Beneficiary organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States. 
 (e) Any Beneficiary claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 5 shall use its best
efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Installation if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts
that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Beneficiary, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Beneficiary. 
 (f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Guarantor hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Guarantor contained in this Section 5 shall survive the payment in full or
termination of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 SECTION 6. Representations and Warranties. 
 The Guarantor hereby makes each representation and warranty made in the Loan Documents by the Borrowers with respect to the Guarantor and
the Guarantor hereby further represents and warrants as follows: 
 (a) There are no conditions precedent to
the effectiveness of this Guaranty that have not been satisfied or waived. 
 (b) The Guarantor has,
independently and without reliance upon any Beneficiary and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Guaranty and each other Loan Document to which it is or is
to be a party, and the Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from the Guaranteed Borrower on a continuing basis information pertaining to, and is now and on a continuing basis will be completely familiar with, the business, condition
(financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties and prospects of the Guaranteed Borrower. 
 SECTION 7.
Covenants. 
 The Guarantor covenants and agrees that, so long as any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall remain unpaid,
any Letter of Credit issued for the account of the Guaranteed Borrower shall be outstanding or any Lender shall have any Commitment relating to the Guaranteed Borrower, the Guarantor will perform and observe, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to

 Exhibit 10.33 
 Summary of Non-Employee Director Compensation 
 Members of the Board of Directors (the
“Board”) who are employees of Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company”) or its affiliates are not separately compensated for service on the Board of Directors or any of its committees. 
 Effective January 1, 2008, directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company or its affiliates will receive an annual cash retainer of
$55,000 paid in monthly installments and a deferred cash retainer of $90,000 payable to the Director when his or her service on the Board ends. The retainers are awarded to directors on the date of the annual shareholders’ meeting. 

The Chairman of the Board receives a supplemental annual retainer of $40,000 for his additional duties. This supplemental retainer of cash is also
paid in monthly installments. The Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board receives a supplemental annual retainer of $15,000, and the Chairman of each other committee of the Board receives a supplemental annual retainer of $6,000. These
supplemental retainers are paid in monthly installments. 
 Non-employee directors also receive a cash meeting fee of $2,250 for each Audit
Committee meeting attended, and a meeting fee of $2,000 for each other Board or committee meeting attended. 
 An additional retainer of
$15,000 is payable in cash to the members of special committees, if and when such committees are established by the Board.
