 CURRENT FORM OF STERIS CORPORATION 
 NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT FOR EMPLOYEES

 STERIS CORPORATION 
 NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT-                     , 20     
 This Agreement is between STERIS Corporation (“STERIS”) and Optionee, with respect to the grant of a Nonqualified Stock Option by STERIS to
Optionee pursuant to the STERIS Corporation 2006 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). 
 1. Grant of Option. STERIS
hereby grants to Optionee, as of the date (“Date of Grant”) set forth above and in the Acknowledgment and Acceptance Form accompanying this Agreement (“Acknowledgment”) an option (the “Option”) to purchase all or any
number of an aggregate of STERIS Common Shares as previously disclosed to Optionee and as reflected in the records of STERIS, at an exercise price of the closing sales price per share of STERIS’s Common Shares as of the Date of Grant and as
reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape (the “Option Price”), upon and subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan. 
 2. Documents Delivered with Agreement. STERIS has delivered or made available to the Optionee, along with this Agreement, the following documents: (a) STERIS’s Policy Prohibiting the Improper Use of
Material Non-Public Information (the “Policy”); (b) the Plan and its related Prospectus; (c) the Nondisclosure and Noncompetition Agreement to be entered into between STERIS and Optionee (the “Nondisclosure Agreement”);
(d) the Acknowledgment; and (e) STERIS’s most recent Annual Report to Shareholders and Form 10-K filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Acceptance and compliance with these documents is a condition to the
effectiveness of this grant of nonqualified stock options. By accepting this Agreement or executing the Acknowledgment, the Optionee acknowledges receipt, review and acceptance of these documents and compliance with their terms. 
 3. Terms and Conditions of Option. The Option is a Nonqualified Option and shall not be treated as an Incentive Stock Option. In addition to this
Agreement, the Option shall also be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Policy and Plan. The Option shall be effective upon the Optionee’s acceptance of this Agreement and the Nondisclosure Agreement, both of which shall be
conclusively deemed to have occurred either upon electronic acceptance or STERIS’s receipt of the signed Acknowledgment. If Optionee violates the terms of the Policy, the Plan, this Agreement, the Nondisclosure Agreement, or any agreement with
similar terms previously entered into by Optionee (collectively “Prior Agreements”), any and all options to purchase Common Shares that were granted by STERIS to Optionee (including the Option granted by this Agreement or any Prior
Agreements) shall be forfeited, void, and of no further force and effect. 
 4. Term of Option. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to
Section 11 of the Plan, the Option shall terminate at the close of business on, and shall not be exercisable at any time after
[                    ]. 
 5.
Vesting. So long as Optionee remains in the employ of STERIS, but subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan (including Section 11 thereof, the rules of which shall apply to this Agreement, including as described in
Section 16 of this Agreement), the Option shall vest [as follows:                     ]. 
 6. Exercise of Vested Option. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11 of the Plan, the rules of which shall apply to this Agreement,
including as described in Section 16 of this Agreement, the Option shall be exercisable only while Optionee is in the employ of STERIS. To the extent exercisable under the Agreement, the Option may be exercised from time to time in whole or in
part. 
 7. Method of Exercise. A request to exercise the Option requires delivery of (a) the Option Price payable in cash or by
check acceptable to the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or by such other methods as may be approved by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer or his delegatee or delegatees, as applicable and (b) a written notice
to STERIS identifying this Agreement and specifying the number of Common 

 
Shares as to which the Option is being exercised. Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, STERIS shall deliver to Optionee certificates
representing the Option promptly following such exercise. 
 8. Certain Determinations. Application, violation, or other
interpretation of the terms of this Agreement, the Nondisclosure Agreement, the Plan, the Policy, any Prior Agreement, or any STERIS policy shall be determined by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer or his delegatee or delegatees, if
applicable, in their sole discretion, and such determination shall be final and binding on Optionee. 
 9. Termination of the Plan; No
Right to Future Grants; No Right of Employment; Extraordinary Item of Compensation. By entering into this Agreement, Optionee acknowledges: (a) that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or terminated by STERIS at any
time; (b) that each grant of an Option is a one-time benefit which does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Options, or benefits in lieu of Options; (c) that all determinations with respect to any such
future grants, including, but not limited to, the times when the Option shall be granted, the number of shares subject to each Option, the Option Price, and the time or times when each Option shall be exercisable, will be at the sole discretion of
STERIS; (d) that Optionee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with Optionee’s employer and shall not interfere with the ability of Optionee’s employer to terminate Optionee’s employment
relationship at any time with or without cause; (e) that Optionee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; (f) that the value of the Options is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the scope of Optionee’s
employment contract, if any; (g) that the Option is not part of normal and expected compensation for purposes of any other employee benefit plan or program of STERIS, including for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy,
end of service, bonus, long-service, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; (h) that the right to purchase stock ceases upon termination of employment for any reason except as may otherwise be explicitly provided in the Plan or
this Agreement; (i) that the future value, if any, of the shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; (j) that, where Optionee’s employer is a Subsidiary or affiliate of STERIS, the Option has been granted to Optionee in
Optionee’s status as an employee of such Subsidiary or affiliate, and the terms of this Agreement can be modified by STERIS to facilitate the issuance and administration of the award, and can in no event be understood or interpreted to mean
that STERIS is Optionee’s employer or that Optionee has an employment relationship with STERIS; and (k) that unvested Options have no value and if the underlying shares do not increase in value above the Option Price, vested Options will
have no value. 
 10. Employee Data Privacy. By entering into the Agreement, and as a condition of the grant of the Option, Optionee
consents to the collection, use and transfer of personal data as described in this Section 10. Optionee understands that STERIS and its Subsidiaries hold certain personal information about Optionee, including, but not limited to,
Optionee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in STERIS, details of all Options or other evidence of shares of stock or
options awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Optionee’s favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). Optionee further understands that STERIS and/or its Subsidiaries will transfer
Data among themselves as necessary for the purposes of implementation, administration and management of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, and that STERIS and/or its Subsidiaries may each further transfer Data to any third parties
assisting STERIS in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan (“Data Recipients”). Optionee understands that these Data Recipients may be located in Optionee’s country of residence, the European Economic Area, and
in countries outside the European Economic Area, including the United States. Optionee authorizes the Data Recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer Data in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and
managing the Plan, including any transfer of such Data, as may be necessary or appropriate for the administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding of shares of stock on Optionee’s behalf, to a broker or third party with whom the shares
acquired on exercise may be deposited. Optionee understands that he or she may, at any time, review the Data, require any necessary amendments to it or withdraw the consent herein by notifying STERIS in writing. Optionee further understands that
withdrawing consent may affect Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan, at the sole discretion of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer or his delegatee or delegatees, if applicable. 
 11. Relation to Plan. This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. In the event of any inconsistency between the
provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern. All terms used 

 
herein with initial capital letters and not otherwise defined herein that are defined in the Plan shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan.

 12. Amendments. Any amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement to the extent that the amendment is
applicable hereto; provided, however, that no amendment shall have a material adverse effect on the rights of Optionee under this Agreement without Optionee’s consent. 
 13. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision hereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to any other person or circumstances shall not be affected, and the provisions so held to be invalid or unenforceable shall be reformed to the extent (and only to
the extent) necessary to make it enforceable and valid while accomplishing the most similar purpose. 
 14. Governing Law. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of Ohio, without giving effect to any principle of law that would result in the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. Any
unresolved dispute relating to this Agreement shall be submitted exclusively to the jurisdiction of the courts of Lake County Ohio. 
 15.
Miscellaneous. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be understood as conferring on Optionee any right to continue as an employee of STERIS or any Subsidiary or affiliate. STERIS reserves the right to correct any clerical, typographical,
or other error in this Agreement or otherwise with respect to this grant. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon its parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns, but the Option
shall not be transferable by Optionee other than as provided in Section 17 of the Plan. 
 16. Application of Section 11 of the
Plan. Pursuant to Section 11 of the Plan, the Board hereby consents to the Optionee’s Qualifying Retirement if, at the time that the Optionee terminates service with the Company, the Optionee satisfies the requirements of
Section 11(b)(iii) of the Plan other than the requirement of the Board having consented thereto (which consent is hereby given).
 STERIS has caused this Agreement to be executed on its behalf by its duly authorized officer, and Optionee has entered into this Agreement and accepted all terms and conditions thereof by electronic acceptance and/or by the signed
Acknowledgment, either of which has the same force and binding effect as if this Agreement were physically signed by Optionee, all as of the Date of Grant.

 ARTICLE II. 
 AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF

 THE LETTERS OF CREDIT 
 2.01 The Letters of Credit. The Issuing Bank agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, to issue standby letters of credit, substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 or
Exhibit B-2, or in such other form as the Issuing Bank may approve (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed so long as such form complies with the following provisions of this Section 2.01) (each an
“LOC” and collectively the “LOCs”), and extend or increase the amount of LOCs, for the account of ACE on any Business Day from time to time during the period from the Closing Date to the Termination Date;
provided that (a) the Issuing Bank shall not have any obligation to issue, extend or increase the amount of any LOC if (i) the aggregate Credit Exposure (after giving effect to such issuance, extension or increase) would exceed the
LOC Availability Amount (as defined in the Pricing Agreement) scheduled to be outstanding at any time during the period from the date of such issuance, extension or increase to the stated expiration date of such LOC; or (ii) such issuance,
extension or increase would conflict with or cause the Issuing Bank to exceed any limit imposed by applicable law or any applicable requirement thereof; (b) each LOC shall be denominated in U.S. dollars and shall be in a face amount not less
than $50,000 (or such lesser amount as the Issuing Bank may agree); (c) each LOC shall be payable only against sight drafts (and not time drafts); (d) no LOC shall have a scheduled expiration date (including all rights of ACE or the
beneficiary to require extension thereof) later than the fifth (5th) Business
Day prior to the date on which the aggregate Credit Exposure (including the subject LOC) would exceed the aggregate LOC Availability Amount scheduled to be outstanding at any time during such period if such subject LOC remained outstanding on such
date; (e) the Issuing Bank shall not have any obligation to issue any LOC that the Issuing Bank determines, in the exercise of its reasonable judgment consistent with its customary practice, is unsatisfactory in form or substance or is to be
issued in favor of a beneficiary that is a Sanctioned Person, is organized under the laws of a Sanctioned Country or is otherwise unsatisfactory to the Issuing Bank; (f) each LOC issued in the form of Exhibit B-1 shall provide that such
LOC shall expire on the thirtieth (30th) day following written notice by

  

 6 

 
the Issuing Lender to the beneficiary of the occurrence of a “Credit Event” with respect to ACE consisting of a “Failure to Pay” or a
“Bankruptcy” (as each such term is defined in the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.); and (g) prior to issuing any LOC in the form of
Exhibit B-2, the Issuing Bank or Administrative Agent shall have entered into a reinsurance trust agreement with a reinsurance trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuing Bank and Administrative Agent and containing terms
substantially similar to those set forth on Exhibit C, and, upon issuance of such LOC, such LOC shall be immediately deposited into the reinsurance trust account governed by the terms of such reinsurance trust agreement, and shall at all
times thereafter be held in such reinsurance trust account. An LOC may by its terms be automatically extendible annually; provided, that the Issuing Bank shall not permit any such automatic extension if it has determined that such extension
would not be permitted, or the Issuing Bank would have no obligation, at such time to issue such LOC as extended under the terms hereof, in which case the Issuing Bank shall notify the beneficiary thereof of its election not to extend such LOC
(which the Issuing Bank agrees to do on and subject to the terms of Section 2.02(c)). LOCs may be issued for the benefit of any wholly-owned Subsidiary of ACE; provided that ACE shall be the account party with respect to any such
LOC. 
 2.02 Issuance and Extensions and Drawings, Participations and Reimbursement with Respect to Letters of Credit. 
 (a) Request for Issuance. ACE may from time to time request, upon at least three Business Days’ notice (given not later than
11:00 A.M.), that the Issuing Bank issue an LOC by delivering to the Issuing Bank (i) a written request substantially in the form of Exhibit D (an “LOC Application”) specifying the date on which such LOC is to
be issued (which shall be a Business Day), the expiration date thereof, the Available Amount thereof and the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; and (ii) such other documents as may be required pursuant to the Issuing Bank’s
customary practices for the issuance of letters of credit. 
 If the requirements set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.01
and in Article III are satisfied, the Issuing Bank shall issue the applicable LOC on the date requested in such LOC Application. Upon the issuance of an LOC, the Issuing Bank shall (A) deliver the original of such LOC to the
beneficiary thereof or as ACE shall otherwise direct and (B) promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and furnish a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent. The Issuing Bank may issue LOCs through any of its branches or Affiliates
(whether domestic or foreign) that issue letters of credit. 
 (b) Request for Extension or Increase. ACE may from time to time
request, upon at least three Business Days’ notice (given not later than 11:00 A.M.), that the Issuing Bank extend the expiration date of an outstanding LOC or increase (or, with the consent of the beneficiary, decrease) the Available
Amount of an outstanding LOC by delivering to the Issuing Bank a written request therefor. Any such request for an extension or increase shall for all purposes hereof (including for purposes of Section 2.02(a)) be treated as though ACE
had requested issuance of a replacement LOC (except that the Issuing Bank may, if it elects, issue a notice of extension or increase in lieu of issuing a new LOC in substitution for the outstanding LOC). 
  

 7 

 (c) Automatic Extensions. If any LOC shall provide for the automatic extension of the expiry date
thereof unless the Issuing Bank gives notice that such expiry date shall not be extended, then the Issuing Bank shall allow such LOC to be extended unless it shall have received, at least five days prior to the date on which such notice of
non-extension must be delivered under such LOC (or such shorter period acceptable to the Issuing Bank), (i) notice from the Required Banks (or the Administrative Agent on their behalf) stating that the conditions precedent to the extension of
such LOC have not been satisfied or (ii) notice from ACE directing the Issuing Bank not to permit the extension of such LOC (and the Issuing Bank shall not permit any LOC to be automatically extended if it has received a timely notice of the
type described in the foregoing clause (i) or (ii)). 
 (d) Limitations on Issuance, Extension and Increase of LOCs. As between
the Issuing Bank, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the other Banks, on the other hand, the Issuing Bank shall be justified and fully protected in issuing a proposed LOC, extending the expiration date or increasing the Available
Amount of an outstanding LOC or permitting an outstanding LOC to be automatically extended if the Issuing Bank has not received notice that it is not authorized to issue, increase the Available Amount of or extend such LOC as described in the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.02, in each case notwithstanding any subsequent notice to the Issuing Bank, any knowledge the Issuing Bank may have of a Default or of the failure of any condition specified the proviso to the first
sentence of Section 2.01 or in Article III to be satisfied, or any other event, condition or circumstance whatsoever. The Issuing Bank may amend, modify or supplement LOCs or LOC Applications, or waive compliance with any
condition of issuance, extension or payment, without the consent of, and without liability to, the Administrative Agent or any Bank, provided that any such amendment, modification or supplement that extends the expiration date or increases
the Available Amount of or the amount available to be drawn on an outstanding LOC shall be subject to Section 2.01. 
 (e)
Letter of Credit Participating Interests. Concurrently with the issuance of each LOC, the Issuing Bank automatically shall be deemed, irrevocably and unconditionally, to have sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to each other Bank, and
each other Bank automatically shall be deemed, irrevocably and unconditionally, severally to have purchased, acquired, accepted and assumed from the Issuing Bank, without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Issuing Bank, an undivided
interest, in a proportion equal to such Bank’s Pro Rata Share, in all of the Issuing Bank’s rights and obligations in, to or under such LOC, the related LOC Application, all reimbursement obligations with respect to such LOC, and all
collateral, guarantees and other rights from time to time directly or indirectly securing or supporting the foregoing (such interest of each Bank being referred to herein as an “LOC Participating Interest”, it being understood that
the LOC Participating Interest of the Issuing Bank is the interest not otherwise attributable to the LOC Participating Interests of the other Banks). On the date that any assignee becomes a party to this Agreement in accordance with
Section 8.07, LOC Participating Interests in all outstanding LOCs held by the Bank from which such assignee acquired its interest hereunder shall be proportionately reallocated between such assignee and such assignor Bank.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, each Bank hereby agrees that its obligation to participate in each LOC, its obligation to make the payments specified in Section 2.02(f) and the right of the Issuing Bank to receive such
payments in the manner specified therein are each absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected by any event, condition or circumstance whatever. The failure of any Bank to make any such 

  

 8 

 
payment shall not relieve any other Bank of its funding obligation hereunder on the date due, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other
Bank to meet its funding obligations hereunder. 
 (f) Payment by Banks on Account of Unreimbursed Draws. If the Issuing Bank makes a
payment under an LOC and is not reimbursed in full therefor in accordance with Section 2.03, the Issuing Bank may notify the Administrative Agent thereof (which notice may be by telephone), and the Administrative Agent shall
forthwith notify each Bank thereof (which notice may be by telephone promptly confirmed in writing). No later than the Administrative Agent’s close of business on the date such notice is given (if notice is given by 2:00 P.M. on a Business
Day) or 10:00 A.M. on the following Business Day (if notice is given after 2:00 P.M. on a Business Day), each Bank will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds, an amount equal
to such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the unreimbursed portion of such payment by the Issuing Bank. Amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank shall be forthwith transferred, in immediately available funds, to
the Issuing Bank. To the extent that any Bank fails to make such payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank on such date, such Bank shall pay such amount on demand, together with interest, for the Issuing Bank’s own
account, from the date such payment is due from such Bank to the Issuing Bank to the date of payment to the Issuing Bank (before and after judgment) at a rate per annum for each day (i) from the date such payment is due from such Bank to the
Issuing Bank to the third Business Day thereafter equal to the Federal Funds Rate and (ii) thereafter equal to the Base Rate. 
 (g)
Advances. The term “Advance” is used in this Agreement in accordance with the meanings set forth in this Section 2.02(g). The making of any payment by the Issuing Bank under an LOC is sometimes referred to herein
as the making of an Advance by the Issuing Bank in the amount of such payment. The making of any payment by a Bank for the account of the Issuing Bank under Section 2.02(f) on account of an unreimbursed drawing on an LOC is sometimes
referred to as the making of an Advance by such Bank. The making of an Advance by a Bank with respect to an unreimbursed drawing on an LOC shall reduce, by a like amount, the outstanding Advance of the Issuing Bank with respect to such unreimbursed
drawing. 
 (h) LOC Reports. The Issuing Bank will furnish to the Administrative Agent prompt written notice of each issuance or
extension, or increase in the amount, of an LOC (including the Available Amount and expiration date thereof), amendment to an LOC, cancellation of an LOC and payment on an LOC. The Administrative Agent will furnish to each Bank prior to the
fifteenth Business Day of each calendar quarter a written report summarizing issuance, extension and expiration dates of LOCs issued or extended during the preceding calendar quarter and payments and reductions in Available Amounts during such
calendar quarter on all LOCs. 
 2.03 Reimbursement Obligations. 
 (a) ACE agrees to reimburse the Issuing Bank (by making payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank in accordance with
Section 2.07) in the amount of each Advance made by the Issuing Bank, such reimbursement to be made on the date such Advance is made by the Issuing Bank (but not earlier than one Business Day after notice of the drawing giving
rise to such Advance is given to ACE). Such reimbursement obligation shall 

  

 9 

 
be payable without further notice, protest or demand, all of which are hereby waived, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue. To the extent such
payment by ACE is not timely made, ACE agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the respective accounts of the Issuing Bank and the Banks that have funded their respective shares of such amount remaining unpaid by ACE, on demand, default
interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2% for each day from the date on which ACE is to reimburse the Issuing Bank to the date such obligation is paid in full. For the avoidance of doubt, the payment by ACE of default interest
pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) shall not affect the calculation of fees under the Loan Documents. 
 (b) The obligation of ACE
to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any Advance made by the Issuing Bank, and the obligation of each Bank under Section 2.02(f) with respect thereto, shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, the applicable LOC Application and any other applicable agreement or instrument under all circumstances, including the following circumstances: 
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, any LOC Application, any LOC or any other agreement or instrument
relating thereto (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “LOC Related Documents”); 
 (ii) any change in the
time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any obligation of ACE or any other Person in respect of any LOC Related Document or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any LOC Related Document; 

(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that ACE or any other Person may have at any time against any
beneficiary or any transferee of an LOC (or any Person for which any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated by the LOC Related Documents
or any unrelated transaction; 
 (iv) any statement or any other document presented under an LOC proving to be forged,
fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 
 (v)
payment by the Issuing Bank under an LOC against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such LOC; 
 (vi) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral granted to secure any obligation of ACE or any other Person in connection with any Loan Document; or 
 (vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, ACE. 
 (c) If any amount received by the Issuing
Bank on account of any Advance shall be avoided, rescinded or otherwise returned or paid over by the Issuing Bank for any reason at any time, whether before or after the termination of this Agreement (or the Issuing Bank believes in good faith that
such avoidance, rescission, return or payment is required, whether or not such 

  

 10 

 
matter has been adjudicated), each Bank will (except to the extent a corresponding amount received by such Bank on account of its Advance relating to the
same payment on an LOC has been avoided, rescinded or otherwise returned or paid over by such Bank), promptly upon notice from the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, pay over to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank its
Pro Rata Share of such amount, together with its Pro Rata Share of any interest or penalties payable with respect thereto. 
 2.04
Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. Subject to the Pricing Agreement, ACE may at any time, upon at least five Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Commitments in whole or reduce in part the unused
portion of the Commitment Amounts; provided that each partial reduction (i) shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000 and (ii) shall be made ratably among the Banks in accordance with
their Commitment Amounts. Concurrently with any termination of the Commitments in whole pursuant to this Section 2.04, ACE shall (a) surrender to the Issuing Bank, or provide cash collateral or backup letters of credit (in each case
pursuant to documentation reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of backup letters of credit, from a financial institution acceptable to the Issuing Bank) in an amount equal to 102% of the Available Amount of, all
outstanding LOCs and (b) pay the principal amount of all outstanding Advances, all accrued and unpaid default interest thereon, all accrued and unpaid fees payable pursuant to Section 2.05 and all other obligations then payable
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. If any LOCs remain outstanding at the time of termination of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.04, the Issuing Bank shall use reasonable commercial efforts to assist ACE in replacing
such LOCs with letters of credit issued by other institutions. 
 2.05 Fees. ACE agrees to pay the fees set forth in the Pricing
Agreement. 
 2.06 Increased Costs, Etc. 
 (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of, in each case after the date hereof, any law or regulation or (ii) compliance with any guideline or request issued
after the date hereof from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Bank of agreeing to issue or of issuing or maintaining or participating in LOCs or
the making of Advances (excluding, for purposes of this Section 2.06, any such increased costs resulting from (x) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.08 shall govern) and (y) changes in the basis of taxation
of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Bank is organized or has its Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof), then ACE agrees to pay, from
time to time, within five days after demand by such Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), which demand shall include a statement of the basis for such demand and a calculation in reasonable detail of the amount demanded, to
the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to ACE by such Bank, shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (b) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the
interpretation of any law or regulation, in each case after the date hereof, or (ii) compliance with any guideline or 

  

 11 

 
request issued after the date hereof from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any
increase in the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank as a result of or based upon the existence of such Bank’s commitment to extend credit hereunder and other commitments
of such type, then, within ten days after demand by such Bank or such corporation (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), which demand shall include a statement of the basis for such demand and a calculation in reasonable detail of
the amount demanded, ACE agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank, from time to time as specified by such Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank in the light of such circumstances, to the extent
that such Bank reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Bank’s commitment to issue or participate in LOCs hereunder or to the issuance or maintenance of or participation in any LOC. A certificate
as to such amounts submitted to ACE by such Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (c) Each Bank
shall promptly notify ACE and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has actual knowledge that will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and not, in such Bank’s good faith judgment, otherwise
disadvantageous to such Bank) to mitigate or avoid, any obligation of ACE to pay any amount pursuant to Section 2.06(a) or 2.06(b) above or pursuant to Section 2.08 (and, if any Bank has given notice of any such event
and thereafter such event ceases to exist, such Bank shall promptly so notify ACE and the Administrative Agent). Without limiting the foregoing, each Bank will designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid (or reduce the cost
to ACE of) any event described in the preceding sentence and such designation will not, in such Bank’s good faith judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.06(a), 2.06(b) or 2.08 (and without limiting Section 2.06(c)
above), if any Bank fails to notify ACE of any event or circumstance that will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to Section 2.06(a), 2.06(b) or 2.08 within 120 days after such Bank obtains actual knowledge of
such event or circumstance, then such Bank shall not be entitled to compensation from ACE for any amount arising prior to the date that is 120 days before the date on which such Bank notifies ACE of such event or circumstance. 
 2.07 Payments and Computations. 
 (a)
ACE shall make each payment hereunder irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off not later than 11:00 A.M. on the day when due, in U.S. dollars, to the Administrative Agent at such account as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably
direct in immediately available funds, with payments being received by the Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter distribute to
each Bank its portion of such payment in accordance with the terms hereof. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments
hereunder in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Bank assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly
between themselves. 
  

 12 

 (b) All computations of default interest on Advances when the Base Rate is determined by reference to
DB’s prime rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or, if applicable, 366 days; all other computations of default interest shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of
360 days. All such computations shall be made for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such default interest is payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent
of a default interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (c) Whenever any payment
hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of any payment of default interest or fees.

 2.08 Taxes. 
 (a) All
payments by ACE hereunder shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.07, free and clear of and without deduction for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect
thereto, excluding, in the case of each Bank and the Administrative Agent, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income by the United States and taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by
the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Bank, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income
(and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction of such Bank’s Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and
liabilities in respect of payments hereunder, “Taxes”). If ACE shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Bank or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable by ACE
shall be increased as may be necessary so that after ACE and the Administrative Agent have made all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.08) such Bank or the Administrative
Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) ACE shall make all such deductions and (iii) ACE shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) In addition, ACE shall pay any present or future stamp, documentary,
excise, property or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (any of
the foregoing, “Other Taxes”). 
 (c) ACE shall indemnify each Bank and the Administrative Agent for and hold each of them
harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.08, imposed on or paid by such Bank or the Administrative Agent
(as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Any such indemnification payment shall be made within 30 days from the date such Bank or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. 
  

 13 

 (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, ACE shall furnish to the Administrative
Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment. In the case of any payment hereunder by or on behalf of ACE through an account or branch outside the United
States or by or on behalf of ACE by a payor that is not a United States person, if ACE determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, ACE shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Administrative Agent, at such address, an
opinion of counsel acceptable to the Administrative Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of this Section 2.08(d) and Section 2.08(e), the terms “United States” and “United States
person” shall have the meanings specified in Sections 7701(a)(9) and 7701(a)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code, respectively. 
 (e)
Each Bank organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each initial Bank, and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant
to which it becomes a Bank in the case of each other Bank, and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by ACE (but only so long as such Bank remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of the Administrative Agent and ACE with two
original Internal Revenue Service forms W-8BEN or W-8ECI or (in the case of a Bank that has certified in writing to the Administrative Agent that it is not a “bank” as defined in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code)
form W-8 (and, if such Bank delivers a form W-8, a certificate representing that such Bank is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of
Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) of ACE and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to ACE (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code)), as appropriate, or any successor or other form
prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Bank is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or, in the case of a Bank providing a form W-8, certifying
that such Bank is a foreign corporation, partnership, estate or trust. If the forms provided by a Bank at the time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement indicate a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero,
withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Bank provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered excluded from
Taxes only for periods governed by such forms; provided that if, at the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Bank becomes a party to this Agreement, the Bank assignor was entitled to payments under
Section 2.08(a) in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to default interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or
other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Bank assignee on such date. If any form or document referred to in this Section 2.08(e) requires the disclosure of
information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8 (and the related certificate described above), that the Bank reasonably
considers to be confidential, the Bank shall give notice thereof to ACE and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information. 
 (f) For any period with respect to which a Bank which may lawfully do so has failed to provide ACE with the appropriate form described in Section 2.08(e) above (other than if such 

  

 14 

 
failure is due to a change in law occurring after the date on which a form originally was required to be provided or if such form otherwise is not required
under Section 2.08(e) above), such Bank shall not be entitled to indemnification under Sections 2.08(a) or 2.08(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided that should a
Bank become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, ACE shall take such steps as such Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such Taxes. 
 (g) Each Bank represents and warrants to ACE that, as of the date such Bank becomes a party to this Agreement, such Bank is entitled to receive payments
hereunder from ACE without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes. 
 2.09 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Bank
shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise, other than as a result of an assignment pursuant to Section 8.07) (a) on account of obligations
due and payable to such Bank hereunder at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such obligations due and payable to such Bank at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the obligations
due and payable to all Banks hereunder at such time) of payments on account of the obligations due and payable to all Banks hereunder at such time obtained by all the Banks at such time or (b) on account of obligations owing (but not due and
payable) to such Bank hereunder at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such obligations owing to such Bank at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the obligations owing (but not
due and payable) to all Banks hereunder at such time) of payments on account of the obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Banks hereunder at such time obtained by all of the Banks at such time, such Bank shall forthwith purchase from
the other Banks such interests or participating interests in the obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment ratably with each of them;
provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank, such purchase from each other Bank shall be rescinded and such other Bank shall repay to the purchasing Bank the purchase price to
the extent of such Bank’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Bank to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Banks) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such
Bank’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the amount of such other Bank’s required repayment to (B) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered. ACE agrees that any Bank so purchasing an interest or participating interest from another Bank pursuant to this Section 2.09 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest or participating interest, as the case may be, as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of ACE in the amount of such interest or participating
interest, as the case may be. 
 2.10 Use of Letters of Credit. The LOCs shall be used for general corporate purposes of ACE and its
Subsidiaries. 
 2.11 Replacement of Affected Bank or Nonconsenting Bank. At any time any Bank (other than the Issuing Bank) is an
Affected Bank or a Nonconsenting Bank, ACE may, at its sole expense (including the assignment fee specified in Section 8.07(a)) and effort, replace such 

  

 15 

 
Affected Bank or Nonconsenting Bank as a party to this Agreement with one or more other Banks and/or Eligible Assignees, and upon notice from ACE such
Affected Bank or Nonconsenting Bank shall assign pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, and without recourse or warranty, its Commitment Amount, its LOC Participating Interests, its Advances and all of its other rights and obligations hereunder
to such other Banks and/or Eligible Assignees for a purchase price equal to the sum of the principal amount of the Advances so assigned, all accrued and unpaid default interest thereon, such Affected Bank’s or Nonconsenting Bank’s ratable
share of all accrued and unpaid fees payable pursuant to Section 2.05 and all other obligations owed to such Affected Bank or Nonconsenting Bank hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no
Affected Bank or Nonconsenting Bank shall be required to make any such assignment if, prior to its receipt of the notice from ACE referred to in the foregoing sentence, as a result of a waiver or otherwise, the circumstances entitling ACE to require
such assignment cease to apply, and (ii) no Nonconsenting Bank shall be required to make any such assignment if at the time of any such proposed assignment, any Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing. 
 2.12 Certain Provisions Relating to the Issuing Bank and LOCs. 
 (a) LOC Applications. The representations, warranties and covenants by ACE under, and the rights and remedies of the Issuing Bank under, any LOC Application relating to any LOC are in addition to, and not in
limitation or derogation of, representations, warranties and covenants by ACE under, and rights and remedies of the Issuing Bank and the other Banks under, this Agreement and applicable law. ACE acknowledges and agrees that all rights of the Issuing
Bank under any LOC Application shall inure to the benefit of each Bank to the extent of its LOC Participating Interest in and Advances in connection with the applicable LOC as fully as if such Bank were a party to such LOC Application. In the event
of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and any LOC Application, this Agreement shall prevail. 
 (b) Certain
Provisions. The Issuing Bank shall have no duties or responsibilities to the Administrative Agent or any Bank except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and no implied duties or responsibilities on the part of the Issuing Bank shall be
read into this Agreement or shall otherwise exist. The duties and responsibilities of the Issuing Bank to the Banks and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be mechanical and administrative in nature, and
the Issuing Bank shall not have a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any other Person. The Issuing Bank shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this
Agreement or any Loan Document or LOC, except to the extent resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to ascertain,
inquire or give any notice to the Administrative Agent or any Bank relating to (i) the performance or observance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document on the part of ACE, (ii) the business,
operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of ACE or any other Person, or (iii) the existence of any Default. The Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide the
Administrative Agent or any Bank with any notices, reports or information of any nature, whether in its possession presently or hereafter, except for such notices, reports and other information expressly required by this Agreement to be so
furnished. The Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the execution, delivery, effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness, validity or adequacy of this Agreement or any Loan Document. 
  

 16 

 (c) Administration. The Issuing Bank may rely upon any notice or other communication of any nature
(written, electronic or oral, including telephone conversations and transmissions through the Issuing Bank’s remote access system, whether or not such notice or other communication is made in a manner permitted or required by this Agreement or
any other Loan Document) purportedly made by or on behalf of the proper party or parties, and the Issuing Bank shall not have any duty to verify the identity or authority of any Person giving such notice or other communication. The Issuing Bank may
consult with legal counsel (including its in-house counsel or in-house or other counsel for ACE), independent public accountants and any other experts selected by it from time to time, and the Issuing Bank shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Whenever the Issuing Bank shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established with respect to ACE, the Administrative
Agent or any Bank, such matter may be established by a certificate of ACE, the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, and the Issuing Bank may conclusively rely upon such certificate. The Issuing Bank shall not be deemed to have any
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default unless the Issuing Bank has received notice from a Bank, the Administrative Agent or ACE referring to this Agreement, describing such Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of
default”. 
 (d) Indemnification of Issuing Bank by Banks. Each Bank hereby agrees to reimburse and indemnify the Issuing Bank
and each of its directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by ACE and without limitation of the obligations of ACE to do so), in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all amounts, losses,
liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or disbursements of any kind or nature (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (other than in-house counsel) for the Issuing Bank or
such other Person in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not the Issuing Bank or such other Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against the Issuing Bank, in its capacity as such, or such other Person, as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any LOC, any transaction from
time to time contemplated hereby or thereby, or any transaction financed in whole or in part or directly or indirectly with the proceeds of any LOC, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such amounts, losses, liabilities,
claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or disbursements to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank or such other Person, as finally determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction. 
 (e) Issuing Bank in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its commitments and the obligations owing
to it, the Issuing Bank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and each other Loan Document as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Issuing Bank, and the term “Banks” and like terms shall
include the Issuing Bank in its individual capacity as such. The Issuing Bank and its Affiliates may, without liability to account to any Person, make loans to, accept deposits from, acquire debt or equity 

  

 17 

 
interests in, act as trustee under indentures of, act as agent under other credit facilities for, and engage in any other business with, ACE and any
stockholder, Subsidiary or Affiliate of ACE, as though the Issuing Bank were not the Issuing Bank hereunder. 
 2.13 Failure of Issuing
Bank to be an Eligible Issuer. If at any time the Issuing Bank ceases to be a Qualifying Issuing Bank, then (a) at the request of ACE, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch shall cause Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, if it then is a
Qualifying Issuing Bank, to be substituted as the Issuing Bank as promptly as practicable thereafter with respect to all subsequent LOCs issued pursuant to this Agreement and (b) if Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is not, or subsequently
ceases to be, a Qualifying Issuing Bank, the Issuing Bank shall use reasonable commercial efforts in cooperation with ACE to find a substitute Qualifying Issuing Bank as promptly as practicable thereafter which is reasonably satisfactory to ACE to
replace the Issuing Bank with respect to all subsequent LOCs issued pursuant to this Agreement. With respect to any LOC outstanding at the time a substitute Qualifying Issuing Bank becomes the Issuing Bank hereunder, the existing Issuing Bank shall
use reasonable commercial efforts to assist ACE in replacing such existing LOC with a letter of credit issued by the new Issuing Bank.

representations and warranties contained in each Loan Document are correct in all material respects on and as of such date, before and after giving effect to such issuance, extension or increase, as though made on and as of such date, other than any
such representation or warranty that, by its terms, refers to a specific date other than the date of such issuance, extension or increase, in which case as of such specific date (provided that the representation and warranty contained in the
last sentence of Section 4.06 shall be excluded from this clause (i) at all times after (but shall be included on and as of) the Closing Date); and

the Banks, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent against it under the Loan Documents will rank at least pari passu with the claims of all its other unsecured and unsubordinated creditors, except for claims that are preferred by any

 EVENTS OF DEFAULT

(each an “Event of Default”) shall occur and be continuing: 
 (a) ACE shall fail to pay any reimbursement obligation in
respect of any Advance made by the Issuing Bank pursuant to an LOC when and as the same shall become due and payable; or ACE shall fail to pay any other amount payable by ACE under any Loan Document within five Business Days after the same becomes
due and payable; 
 (b) Any representation or warranty made by ACE (or any of its officers) under or in connection with any Loan Document
shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made; 
 (c) (i) ACE shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or
agreement contained in Section 2.10, or in Section 5.01(d) (solely with respect to ACE), 5.02, 5.03(a) or 5.04 of the Reimbursement Agreement as incorporated herein by reference; (ii) ACE shall fail to perform or observe any
term, covenant or agreement contained in Section 5.01(e) of the Reimbursement Agreement if such failure shall remain unremedied for five Business Days after written notice thereof shall have been given to ACE by the Administrative Agent or any
Bank; or (iii) ACE shall fail to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement contained or incorporated by reference herein or contained in any Loan Document on its part to be performed or observed if such failure shall remain
unremedied for 30 days after the earlier of the date on which (A) a Responsible Officer becomes aware of such failure or (B) written notice thereof shall have been given to ACE by the Administrative Agent or any Bank; 
 (d) Any “Event of Default” (under and as defined in the Reimbursement Agreement) shall occur and be continuing under Section 6.01(f), (g),
(h), (j), (k) or (l) of the Reimbursement Agreement; or 
 (e) Any event of the type described in Section 6.01(f) of the
Reimbursement Agreement shall occur with respect to the Reimbursement Agreement; provided, that for purposes of this Section 6.01(e) only, the references to “Reimbursement Agreement” herein shall include any
modifications or amendments to the Reimbursement Agreement as in effect on any determination date; 
 then, and in any such event, the Administrative Agent
(i) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Banks, by notice to ACE, declare the obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue, extend or increase the amount of any LOC to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith
terminate, and/or (ii) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Banks, by notice to ACE, declare all amounts payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon all such
amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by ACE, and/or (iii) may require the beneficiary of any LOC to draw the entire
amount available to be drawn under such LOC in accordance with (and 

  

 22 

 
to the extent permitted by) such LOC; provided that in the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to ACE under the
federal Bankruptcy Law, (x) the obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue, extend or increase the amount of any LOC shall automatically terminate, (y) all such amounts shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand,
protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by ACE and (z) the obligation of ACE to provide cash collateral under Section 6.02 shall automatically become effective. 
 6.02 Actions in Respect of the Letters of Credit upon Default. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative
Agent may, or shall at the request of the Required Banks, whether before or after taking any of the actions described in Section 6.01, demand that ACE, and forthwith upon such demand ACE will, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of
the Banks in immediately available funds an amount equal to the aggregate Available Amount of all LOCs then outstanding as cash collateral. If at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default the Administrative Agent determines that such
funds are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Banks or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Available Amount of all LOCs, ACE will, forthwith upon demand by the
Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional cash collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate Available Amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, that the Administrative Agent determines
to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any LOC, such funds shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Bank, to the extent permitted by applicable law. 
 ARTICLE VII. 
 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 7.01 Authorization and Action. Each Bank (in its capacity as a Bank) hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action
as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are
reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting
(and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Banks (or all Banks where unanimity is required), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Banks; provided that the Administrative
Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The Administrative Agent agrees to give each Bank prompt notice of each notice given
to it by ACE pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
 7.02 Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative
Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (a) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for ACE), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable
for any 

  

 23 

 
action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (b) makes no warranty or
representation to any Bank and shall not be responsible to any Bank for any statement, warranty or representation (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with the Loan Documents (except for statements, warranties and representations made
to ACE in the Pricing Agreement); (c) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Loan Document on the part of ACE or to inspect the property
(including the books and records) of ACE; (d) shall not be responsible to any Bank for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any Lien created or purported
to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and (e) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent,
certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties. 
 7.03 The Administrative Agent and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment, its Participating Interests and the Advances, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan
Documents as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include the Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, ACE, any of its
Subsidiaries and any Person that may do business with or own securities of ACE or any such Subsidiary, all as if the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks. 
 7.04 Bank Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank
and based on the financial statements and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other 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. 

(a) Indemnification. Each Bank severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors
and Affiliates (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by ACE) from and against such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of 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 the Administrative Agent or any such other Person in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under
the Loan Documents; provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s
or such other Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs and expenses (including fees and
expenses of counsel) payable by ACE under Section 8.04, to the extent that 

  

 24 

 
the Administrative Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by ACE. The failure of any Bank to reimburse the Administrative Agent
promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any amount required to be paid by the Banks to the Administrative Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its Pro
Rata Share of such amount, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to reimburse the Administrative Agent for such other Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of
any Bank hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Bank contained in this Section 7.04(a) shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

 7.05 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Banks and ACE. Upon any such resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject (so long as no Event of Default exists) to the consent of
ACE (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative
Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Banks’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a
commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor
Administrative Agent such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. If within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal under this Section 7.05 no successor
Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (i) the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the
Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Banks shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Banks appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided
above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent shall have become effective, the provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE VIII. 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 8.01 Amendments,
Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by ACE therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Banks (and,
in the case of an amendment, ACE), and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that no amendment, waiver or consent shall: 
 (a) unless in writing and signed by all of the Banks, do any of the following at any time: (i) waive any of the conditions specified in
Section 2.01, 3.01 or 3.02, (ii) change the number of Banks or the percentage of (x) the Commitment Amounts, (y) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Advances or (z) the aggregate Available

Agent and the Banks, (iv) amend this Section 8.01 or any of the definitions herein that would have such effect, (v) extend the Termination Date, (vi) limit the liability of ACE under any of the Loan Documents or
(vii) change or waive any provision of Section 2.07(a) or any other provision of this Agreement requiring the ratable treatment of the Banks;

the Issuing Bank against presentation of documents that do not strictly comply with the terms of an LOC, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the LOC; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in
making or failing to make payment under any LOC, except that ACE shall have a claim against the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank shall be liable to ACE, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by ACE that ACE proves

                                         (the
“Assignee”), and [consented to and] accepted by Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”)[, and ACE Limited (“ACE”)]. 
 W I T N E S S E T H 
 WHEREAS, this Assignment and Acceptance (the “Agreement”) relates to the Credit Agreement dated as of June 16, 2009 among ACE, the
Assignor and the other Banks party thereto, and the Administrative Agent, providing for an unsecured letter of credit facility for the benefit of ACE (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”);

 WHEREAS, as provided under the Credit Agreement, the Assignor has a commitment to participate in LOCs and make Advances to ACE in an
aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $                    ; 
 WHEREAS, LOCs with a total amount available for drawing thereunder of
$                     are outstanding at the date hereof; 
 WHEREAS, Advances made to ACE by the Assignor under the Credit Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of
$                     are outstanding at the date hereof; and 
 WHEREAS, the Assignor proposes to assign to the Assignee all of the rights of the Assignor under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents in respect of a portion of its Commitment thereunder in an amount
equal to $                     (the “Assigned Amount”), together with a corresponding portion of its outstanding LOC Participating
Interests, and Advances, if any, and the Assignee proposes to accept assignment of such rights and assume the corresponding obligations from the Assignor on such terms. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Definitions. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement. 
 2. Assignment. The Assignor hereby assigns and sells to the Assignee all of the rights of the Assignor under the Credit Agreement and the other
Loan Documents to the extent of the Assigned Amount, and the Assignee hereby accepts such assignment from the Assignor and assumes all of the obligations of the Assignor under the Credit Agreement to the extent of the Assigned Amount, including the
outstanding LOC Participating Interests and the amount of the Advances, if any, outstanding at the date hereof. Upon the execution and delivery hereof by the Assignor, the Assignee[, the Administrative Agent and ACE] and the payment of the amounts
specified in Section 3 required to be paid on the date hereof (i) the Assignee shall, as of the date 

 
hereof, succeed to the rights and be obligated to perform the obligations of a Bank under the Credit Agreement with an Commitment Amount (in addition to any
Commitment Amount theretofore held by it) equal to the Assigned Amount, and (ii) the Commitment Amount of the Assignor shall, as of the date hereof, be reduced by a like amount and the Assignor shall be released from its obligations under the
Credit Agreement to the extent such obligations have been assumed by the Assignee. The assignment provided for herein shall be without recourse to the Assignor. 
 3. Payments. As consideration for the assignment and sale contemplated in Section 2 hereof, the Assignee shall pay to the Assignor on the date hereof the amount heretofore agreed between them.1 The parties hereto agree that fees accrued to the date hereof in respect of the Assigned Amount
are for the account of the Assignor and fees accruing from the date hereof are for the account of the Assignee. Each of the Assignor and the Assignee hereby agrees that if it receives any amount under the Credit Agreement which is for the account of
the other party hereto, it shall receive the same for the account of such other party to the extent of such other party’s interest therein and shall promptly pay the same to such other party. 
 4. Consent of the Administrative Agent and ACE. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, this Agreement is conditioned upon the consent of the
Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, ACE. The execution of this Agreement by the Administrative Agent and, if applicable, ACE is evidence of this consent. 
 5. Non-Reliance on Assignor. The Assignor makes no representation or warranty in connection with, and shall have no responsibility with respect
to, the solvency, financial condition or statements of ACE or any of its Subsidiaries, or the validity and enforceability of the obligations of ACE or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of any Loan Document. The Assignee acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance on the Assignor, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and will continue to be responsible for making its
own independent appraisal of the business, affairs and financial condition of ACE and its Subsidiaries. 
 6. Governing Law. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 
 7. Counterparts. This Agreement
may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. 
 [Remainder of page intentionally left blank.] 
  

	1
	Amount should combine the principal amount of any Advances made by the Assignor together with accrued interest and breakage compensation, if any, to be paid by the Assignee, net of
any portion of any upfront fee to be paid by the Assignor to the Assignee. It may be preferable in an appropriate case to specify these amounts generically or by formula rather than as a fixed sum. 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed and delivered by their duly
authorized officers as of the date first above written.
