 Exhibit 10.14 
  

 
 COMMERCIAL PAPER 

ISSUING AND PAYING AGENT AGREEMENT 

(Book-Entry Obligations Using DTC) 

THIS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of August             , 2014
(the “Effective Date”) is entered into by and between             (the “Issuer”) with offices at
            and Bank of America, National Association (the “Bank”) with offices at 135 South LaSalle Street, IL4-135-05-07, Chicago, IL 60603. 

 

	Section 1.	Appointment 

 The Issuer requests and hereby appoints the Bank to act on a
non-exclusive basis as agent for the Issuer in connection with the issuance and payment of unsecured book-entry obligations (each, a “Book-entry Obligation”) as evidenced by Master Note (the
“Note Certificate(s)” and, together with the Book-entry Obligations, the “Obligations”) in the form appended hereto in Exhibit A. The Bank hereby agrees to act as agent for the Issuer, subject to the
provisions of this Agreement, beginning on the Effective Date. The Book-entry Obligations may be placed by dealers (the “Dealers”) pursuant to Section 5 hereof. The Issuer will promptly notify the Bank of the appointment
or resignation of any Dealer. 
  

	Section 2.	Certificate Agreement 

 The Issuer acknowledges that the Bank has entered into
with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) the commercial paper certificate agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Certificate Agreement”).1 The
Certificate Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof. The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that the continued effectiveness of the Certificate Agreement is a condition precedent to the Bank acting as agent hereunder
and providing services related to the Obligations. 
  

	Section 3.	Letter of Representations; Certificate of Authorized Persons 

 a. The Bank and the
Issuer agree to comply with the relevant portions of DTC’s Commercial Paper Issuing and Paying Agent Manual, and the DTC Same Day Settlement System Rules (collectively the “DTC Rules”). The Issuer understands that as one of the
conditions of its participation in the DTC, it shall be necessary for the Issuer and the Bank to enter into a Letter of Representations, attached hereto as Exhibit C, and for DTC to receive and accept such Letter of Representations. 

b. The Issuer has delivered to the Bank a certificate (as may be amended from time to time, the “Certificate of Authorized
Persons”), a copy of which is appended hereto as Exhibit D, containing the name, title, contact details, and true signature of each officer of the Issuer or other person duly authorized to take action on behalf of the Issuer with
respect to the Obligations (each an “Authorized Person” and, collectively, the “Authorized Persons”). The Issuer agrees to promptly provide a revised Certificate of Authorized Persons to the Bank in the event that
the Authorized Persons of the Issuer change. 
  

	1 	Print the PDF and attach to the execution version of this Agreement. 

 

 
  

 c. The Issuer agrees that the Bank shall not be liable for the Bank’s action or inaction
in reliance on the Certificate of Authorized Persons at any time, including any inaccurate Certificate of Authorized Persons for which a copy of an accurate replacement Certificate of Authorized Persons has not been provided by the Issuer to the
Bank. 
  

	Section 4.	Master Note  

 a. The Issuer will, prior to the Effective Date, deliver to the
Bank a Note Certificate registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of DTC, evidencing the Obligations. The Note Certificate shall bear the manual or facsimile signatures of one or more Authorized Persons and specify the date of
issuance (the “Issue Date”), the full legal name of the Issuer, and the name of the bank acting as paying agent for the Issuer. 

b. Any Obligation (as evidenced by the Note Certificate) shall, upon the Bank’s issuance of such Obligation in compliance with the terms
of this Agreement on behalf of the Issuer, bind the Issuer notwithstanding that one or both of such Authorized Persons providing the Instructions for issuance of the Obligation are no longer Authorized Persons on the date such Obligation is issued
by the Bank. Furthermore, the Issuer agrees that the Bank shall have no duty or responsibility to determine the genuineness of the facsimile and/or manual signatures appearing on any document, including but not limited to any Instructions or the
Note Certificate, if such facsimile or manual signature reasonably resembles the corresponding specimen signature of an Authorized Person listed on the most recent Certificate of Authorized Persons provided by the Issuer to the Bank. 

 

	Section 5.	Instructions 

 a. The term “Instructions” shall mean a
communication, purporting to be from an Authorized Person, in the form of: 
  

	 	(i)	a transmission through an instruction and reporting communication service (“IPASS”) offered by the Bank pursuant to Section 10 hereof; 

 

	 	(ii)	any direction from the Issuer or their Dealers delivered electronically in accordance with standard practices in the financial services industry, including Instructions delivered via Depository Trust & Clearing
Corporation Pre-Issuance Messaging (DTC PIM) system; or 

  

	 	(iii)	a written notice, including a written notice transmitted by facsimile or e-mail, which bears or purports to bear the signature of an Authorized Person 

b. Instructions transmitted over IPASS or DTC PIM system, including Instructions from Dealers, shall be deemed conclusive evidence that such
Instructions are correct and complete and that the issuance specified in such Instructions has been duly authorized by an Authorized Person. The Bank shall not be liable for rejecting Instructions as a result of inaccurate IDs or Passwords indicated
thereon. 

 

 
  

 c. Instructions may be given at any time prior to 1:00 PM New York Time on the day on which
the Instructions are to be operative; provided that any Instructions received on a day on which the Bank is not open for business, will be operative, as appropriate, on the next succeeding day on which the Bank is open for business. If the Bank, in
its sole discretion, acts upon Instructions transmitted after 1:00 PM New York Time on the day on which the Instructions are to be operative, the Issuer understands and agrees that (i) such Instructions shall be acted upon, on a reasonable
efforts basis, by the Bank pursuant to the custom and practice of the commercial paper market, and (ii) the Bank makes no representations or warranties that the issuance and delivery of any Note or Obligation pursuant to Section 6
shall be completed prior to the close of business on the Issue Date specified in the applicable Instructions. 
  

	Section 6.	Issuance 

 a. The Bank’s sole duties in connection with the issuance of the
Book-entry Obligations represented by the Note Certificate shall be as follows: 
 (i) to maintain a record of the outstanding Note
Certificate on IPASS; 
 (ii) following receipt of applicable Instructions, to assign a CUSIP number to each Obligation to be issued; 

(iii) following receipt of applicable Instructions that set forth the face or principal amount, net dollar amount, Issue Date, maturity date,
interest rate (if any), and amount of interest due at maturity date, and the applicable discount amount (if any), for an Obligation, to cause delivery of such Obligation on behalf of the Issuer by way of data entry or data transfer to the DTC Same
Day Funds Settlement System (“SDFS”), and to receive from SDFS a confirmation receipt that delivery of such Obligation was effected; and 

(iv) [prior to the close of business on each Issue Date, to credit in immediately available funds the net proceeds of all delivered Obligations
to the Issuer’s account with the Bank (Account No.             ).] 

[prior to the close of business on each Issue Date, to credit in immediately available funds the net proceeds of all delivered
Obligations according to the Issuer’s standing instruction signed by an Authorized Person, attached hereto as Exhibit F.]2 [Need to select one of these two options] 

 

	 	b.	(i) The Issuer acknowledges that (A) the delivery of an Obligation against payment (i.e., the principal amount of the Obligation less the discount specified in the Instructions or the principal amount of an
interest bearing Obligation) and the 

 

 
  

 
actual receipt of payment thereof are not simultaneous transactions and (B) the purchaser of an Obligation is obligated to settle its purchase of such Obligation in immediately available
funds on the Issue Date for such Obligation. The Issuer, and not the Bank, shall bear the risk of such purchaser’s failure to remit the net amount of the Obligation. 

(ii) The Bank shall have no duty or responsibility to transfer to the Issuer any amounts from the sale of an Obligation, or to advance to the
Issuer any monies or otherwise provide any credit to the Issuer with respect to such proceeds or transfers, unless and until (A) the Bank actually receives the proceeds of the sale of such Obligation and (B) the Bank’s receipt of such
proceeds is not subject to reversal or cancellation. 
  

	Section 7.	Payment [Need to select options in b and d below] 

 a. The Issuer shall provide or
cause to be provided Instructions to the Bank regarding payment of Obligations at maturity. The Bank’s sole duty in connection with payment of the Obligations at maturity shall be to pay the principal amount of the Obligation or principal plus
interest of an interest-at-maturity Obligation, in each case as specified in the applicable Instructions. 
 b. [The Bank shall debit the
Issuer’s account with the Bank (Account No.             ) for any maturing Obligation of the amount referred to in this Section 7. No liability shall attach to the Bank if
there are insufficient funds to make a payment in whole or in part.] 
 [The Bank shall not make a payment with respect to any maturing
Obligation of the amount referred to in this Section 7 unless immediately available funds in the amount to be paid in respect of such Obligation have been received by the Bank prior to 2:00 PM New York Time on the applicable maturity
date, unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Bank, in accordance with the following instructions: ABA routing number:
            -            -            . GL Account Number:
            , FFC and Beneficiary Customer information as separately notified to the Issuer at a later date, and such funds are not subject to reversal or cancellation. No liability shall
attach to the Bank if there are insufficient funds to make a payment in whole or in part.]3 
  

	Section 8.	United States Dollars 

 The Issuer agrees that the Obligations issued or presented
hereunder shall be denominated solely in United States Dollars. The Issuer further agrees that payment of any and all amounts due pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be made solely in United States Dollars. 

 

	3 	Select one of the two options for Section 7b. 

 

 
  

	Section 9.	No Agency or Trust and No Implied Duties 

 a. The Bank shall have no obligations
under this Agreement towards, or any relationship of agency or trust with, any Purchaser and shall only be obligated to perform the duties of the Bank set out specifically in this Agreement. The Bank shall have no implied duties or obligations under
this Agreement. 
 b. The Bank shall not be under any obligation to take any action hereunder through which the Bank may incur any expense or
liability, the prompt payment of or indemnification for which is not, in its opinion, assured. 
  

	Section 10.	Issuing and Paying Agent Servicing System (IPASS) 

 a. Upon receipt of a completed
IPASS Enrollment Form in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto, the Bank hereby grants the Issuer and each Authorized Person access to IPASS for the limited purposes set forth herein until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with
Section 14. The Issuer and each Authorized Person will be permitted to access IPASS for the purposes of transmitting Instructions to the Bank or obtaining a record of the Note Certificate with respect to the Obligations. 

b. The Issuer acknowledges that under IPASS, each Obligation (and the Note Certificate, if any, related thereto) shall remain subject to
applicable laws, regulations, rules and the provisions hereof. The Bank shall be entitled to limit or restrict the Issuer’s or any Authorized Person’s use of IPASS as the Bank deems necessary or desirable in its sole discretion. The Issuer
acknowledges and agrees that it and each Authorized Person shall be permitted to access information through IPASS only for those Obligations that it is authorized to access and no other Obligation. Each Authorized Person shall be limited in its
access rights to IPASS to the same extent of the Issuer, and no Authorized Person shall be permitted to access a broader scope of information about an Obligation than the Issuer may access at such time. 

c. Except as set forth in this Section 10, with respect to any agreement between the Issuer and its Authorized Persons, the Issuer
shall acquire no title, ownership or sublicensing rights whatsoever in IPASS or in any trade secret, trademark, copyright or patent of the Bank now or to become applicable to IPASS. The Issuer may not transfer, sublicense, assign, rent, lease,
convey, modify, translate, convert to a programming language, decompile, disassemble, recirculate, republish or redistribute IPASS for any purpose. 

d. The Issuer shall ensure the security and confidentiality of all identification numbers (“IDs”) and passwords
(“Passwords”) to access IPASS, whether issued to the Issuer or any Authorized Person by the Bank, and whether chosen by the Issuer, any Authorized Person or the Bank. The Issuer agrees not to share, transfer, disclose, make
available or otherwise provide access to the Issuer’s IDs and Passwords to any person who is not an Authorized Person. The Issuer is responsible for all access and activity conducted, including the sending of Instructions, using all IDs and
Passwords permitting access to IPASS. The Issuer shall immediately notify the Bank in writing, (i) if the Issuer 

 

 
  

 
discovers or has received notice that an ID or Password has been compromised by actual or suspected unauthorized use, loss, disclosure, access or acquisition, (ii) if the Issuer suspects or
discovers unauthorized access to or use of IPASS for any reason, or (iii) when an Authorized Person, with a unique ID and Password, is no longer permitted access to IPASS. The Issuer shall take all necessary and advisable corrective actions,
and shall cooperate fully with the Bank to prevent, mitigate or rectify any unauthorized activity involving an ID or Password or IPASS. 

The Issuer agrees to indemnify the Bank in accordance with Section 13 against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorney’s fees, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it in any way relating to or
arising out of resulting from the failure of the Issuer or any of its Authorized Persons to maintain security and confidentiality of the applicable IDs and Passwords. 

e. The Issuer agrees that use of IPASS is subject to the terms of this Agreement (the “Terms”), as they may be amended, and
applicable laws and regulations. The Terms are binding on the Issuer (including the Issuer’s employees, agents and successors) and each Authorized Person. The Bank may add, remove or modify the information available on IPASS at any time without
prior notice. The Issuer acknowledges that IPASS may be unavailable to the Issuer from time to time, as necessary. 
 f. IPASS may be used to
access copies of the Note Certificate. The Issuer acknowledges that any printed version of the Note Certificate is merely a copy and is not, and shall not be considered by the Issuer or any Authorized Person to be, the official Note Certificate. The
Bank shall not be liable for the completeness, correctness, accuracy, adequacy, usefulness, timeliness, reliability or otherwise of the Note Certificate or any information accessed through IPASS regarding an Obligation. 

g. IPASS AND ALL INFORMATION, SERVICES, SOFTWARE AND OTHER MATERIALS PROVIDED THROUGH IPASS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS
AVAILABLE” WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. THE BANK AND ITS SUPPLIERS SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,
NONINFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, QUALITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ISSUER’S USE OF IPASS AND ALL INFORMATION, SERVICES, SOFTWARE AND OTHER MATERIALS PROVIDED THROUGH IPASS IS AT ITS OWN DISCRETION AND RISK. 

THE BANK DOES NOT GUARANTEE SECURITY OF IPASS OR PREVENTION FROM LOSS OF, ALTERATION OF, OR IMPROPER ACCESS TO THE ACCOUNT INFORMATION OR DATA.

	Section 11.	Representations and Warranties 

 The Issuer and/or the Bank, as indicated below,
(each a “Party” and together the “Parties”) represent and warrant as to itself only and not as to the other Party as follows: 

a. This Agreement and the Obligations have been duly authorized and this Agreement when executed and the Obligations when issued in accordance
with Instructions, will be valid, legal and binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of
general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. This Agreement has been duly authorized and when executed will be a valid, legal and binding obligation of the Bank, enforceable against the Bank
in accordance with its terms; 
 b. The Issuer represents and warrants that this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions herein
contemplated will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument for money borrowed to
which the Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Issuer is subject, except for a breach or default which would not have a material adverse affect on the condition (financial or otherwise)
or operations of the Issuer or the ability of the Issuer to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Obligations and the Certificate Agreement, or (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the articles of incorporation or the
by-laws of the Issuer (or equivalent corporate formation and governance documentation). 

 

 
  

 c. Each of the Issuer and the Bank, respectively, represents and warrants that this Agreement
and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated will not result in any violation of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or government agency, regulatory authority or body of any country having jurisdiction over the
Issuer or the Bank, as applicable, or any of their respective properties; 
 d. The Issuer represents and warrants that no consent, approval,
authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court, or governmental agency, regulatory authority or body of any country having jurisdiction over the Issuer or any of its properties is required for the issuance or sale of the
Obligations, except such as have been, or will have been obtained prior to the issuance or sale of the Obligations, and such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required under “blue sky” or state
securities laws, or insurance laws or by any regulatory authority in connection with the issuance and/or sale of the Obligations by the Issuer; and 

e. The Issuer represents and warrants that each Obligation will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Each
Instruction provided by the Issuer or related Authorized Persons to issue Obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Issuer as of the date thereof that the representations and warranties herein are true and
correct as if made on and as of such date. 
  

	Section 12.	Compensation

negligence or willful misconduct by the Bank, the Bank shall not be liable for any losses, damages, liabilities or costs suffered or incurred by the Issuer in relation to this Agreement. The Issuer agrees that in any case in which the Bank may be
liable as a result of the Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Bank will only be liable up to an amount equal to the aggregate of the fees paid by the Issuer to the Bank in respect hereof plus any amount of indemnification
previously received by the Bank from the Issuer in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Issuer, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Bank, agrees to indemnify the Bank and hold it harmless from and against
(x) any and all actions, claims (groundless or otherwise), suits, losses, fines and penalties arising out of the Bank’s having executed this Agreement or otherwise having

claims, suits, losses, fines or penalties or to any breach of this Agreement by the Issuer. 
 b. Notwithstanding any contrary provision
herein, neither the Bank nor its affiliates, suppliers, contractors, service providers, directors, officers, employees and agents will be liable for any damages, including without limitation, direct or indirect, incidental, special, consequential,

corruption, network or system outage, or loss, use or modification of content or data, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. No third party, including but not limited to any Authorized Person, shall have any right to or claim for
indemnification from the Bank under this Agreement.

 f. This Agreement, together with the exhibits attached hereto, contains the entire
understanding and agreement between the Bank and the Issuer with respect to the Obligations. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, statements, promises, inducements, negotiations, and undertakings and all existing contracts
