(b)Subject to Section 5.04 (Obligation to Mitigate), each Senior Lender may (without relieving the Borrower of its obligation to repay a Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) at its option fulfill its Commitments with respect to any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Senior Lender to make such Loan.

(c)Unless the Senior Facility Agent has been notified in writing by any Senior Lender prior to a proposed Borrowing Date that such Senior Lender will not make available to the Senior Facility Agent its portion of the Working Capital Loan Borrowing proposed to be made on such date, the Senior Facility Agent may assume that such Senior Lender has made such amounts available to the Senior Facility Agent on such date and the Senior Facility Agent in its sole and absolute discretion may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Senior Facility Agent by such Senior Lender and the Senior Facility Agent has made such amount available to the Borrower, the Senior Facility Agent shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Senior Lender such corresponding amount plus interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Senior Facility Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Senior Facility Agent at an interest rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

If such Senior Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Senior Facility Agent’s demand, the Senior Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall promptly repay such corresponding amount to the Senior Facility Agent plus interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Senior Facility Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Senior Facility Agent at an interest rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. If the Senior Facility Agent receives payment of the corresponding amount from each of the Borrower and such Senior Lender, the Senior Facility Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower such corresponding amount. If the Senior Facility Agent receives payment of interest on such corresponding amount from each of the Borrower and such Senior Lender for an overlapping period, the Senior Facility Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Senior Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder and any payment by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Senior Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Senior Facility Agent. The failure of any Senior Lender to make available to the Senior Facility Agent its portion of the Working Capital Loan Borrowing shall not relieve any other Senior Lender of its obligations, if any, hereunder to make available

to the Senior Facility Agent its portion of the Working Capital Loan Borrowing on the date of such Working Capital Loan Borrowing, but no Senior Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Senior Lender to make available to the Senior Facility Agent such other Senior Lender’s portion of the Working Capital Loan Borrowing on the date of any Working Capital Loan Borrowing. A notice of the Senior Facility Agent to any Senior Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d)Each of the Senior Lenders shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Senior Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Senior Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Senior Lender from time to time hereunder.

(e)The Senior Facility Agent shall maintain at the Senior Facility Agent’s office (i) a copy of any Lender Assignment Agreement delivered to it pursuant to Section 11.04 (Assignments), and (ii) a register for the recordation of (A) the names and addresses of the Senior Lenders, (B) all the Commitments of and principal amount of and interest on the Loans owing and paid to, each Senior Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time, (C) the amount, beneficiary and termination date of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including whether such Letters of Credit are DSR Letters of Credit or Working Capital Letters of Credit), and (eD) amounts received by the Senior Facility Agent from the Borrower and whether such amounts constitute principal, interest, fees or other amounts and each Senior Lender’s share thereof (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Swing Line Lender, any Senior Issuing Bank and any Senior Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(f)The entries made by the Senior Facility Agent in the Register or the accounts maintained by any Senior Lender shall be conclusive and binding evidence, absent manifest error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that, the failure of any Senior Lender or the Senior Facility Agent to maintain such Register or accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Senior Lender and the accounts and records of the Senior Facility Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Senior Facility Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 2.04. Swing Line Loans.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Senior Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, shall make loans to the Borrower (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to but excluding the Termination Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the outstanding principal amount of the Working Capital Loans and the Working Capital LC Exposure of the Senior Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Senior Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line

Loan, (i) the sum of (A) the outstanding principal amount of all Working Capital Loans and Swing Line Loans and (B) the Working Capital LC Exposure shall not exceed the Working Capital Sublimit and (ii) the sum of (A) the outstanding principal amount of all Working Capital Loans and Swing Line Loans and (B) without duplication, the LC Exposure shall not exceed the Total Commitment; provided, further, that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, repay under Section 4.03 (Repayment of Swing Line Loans) and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Senior Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to its Proportionate Share of the amount of such Swing Line Loan. Swing Line Loans may only be used for Working Capital Purposes.

(b)The Borrower may request a Swing Line Loan Borrowing by delivering a Borrowing Notice appropriately completed to the Swing Line Lender, the Common Security Trustee and the Senior Facility Agent, no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day of the proposed Borrowing Date.

(c)Each Borrowing Notice delivered pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify:

(i)the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day);

(ii)the amount of such requested Swing Line Loan Borrowing;

(iii)the purpose for which the proceeds of the Swing Line Loan will be used, which shall be only Gas Working Capital Purposes or General Working Capital Purposes; and

(iv)that each of the conditions precedent to such Swing Line Loan Borrowing has been satisfied or waived.

(d)The currency specified in a Borrowing Notice must be Dollars.

(e)The aggregate amount of the proposed Swing Line Loan Borrowing must be an amount that is (A) no more than the available Commitment, (B) no more than the available Swing Line Sublimit, (C) no more than the available Working Capital Sublimit, (D) not less than one hundred thousand Dollars ($100,000) and an integral multiple of fifty thousand Dollars ($50,000) and (E) if the available Commitment, the available Swing Line Sublimit or the available Working Capital Sublimit is less than one hundred thousand Dollars ($100,000), equal to the least of the available Commitment, the available Swing Line Sublimit and the available Working Capital Sublimit.

(f)Promptly after receipt of any Borrowing Notice under Section 2.04, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Senior Facility Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Senior Facility Agent has received a copy of such Borrowing Notice from the Borrower and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will provide the Senior Facility Agent with a copy thereof. Unless

the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Senior Facility Agent (including at the request of any Senior Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of

the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (i) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (ii) that one or more of the applicable conditions precedent to such Swing Line Loan is not then satisfied or waived, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date specified in such Borrowing Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower by depositing the amount into the Operating Account in immediately available funds.

(g)Reimbursement of Swing Line Loans.

(i)The Swing Line Lender shall give the Senior Facility Agent and the Common Security Trustee prompt notice of any Swing Line Loan made by the Swing Line Lender no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately succeeding the date of such payment by the Swing Line Lender. The Senior Facility Agent shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to each of the Senior Lenders.

(ii)The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Senior Lender make a Working Capital Loan that is a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Senior Lender’s Proportionate Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”). Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Borrowing Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02 (Notice of Working Capital Loan Borrowings), without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans but subject to the unutilized portion of the Commitments and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.02 (Conditions Precedent to Certain Extension of Credit). The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable deemed Borrowing Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Senior Facility Agent. Each Senior Lender shall make an amount equal to its Proportionate Share of the Refunded Swing Line Loans specified in such deemed Borrowing Notice available to Senior Facility Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day specified in such deemed Borrowing Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(g)(iii), each Senior Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Working Capital Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to Borrower in such amount. The Senior Facility Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(iii)If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Working Capital Loan in accordance with Section 2.04(g)(ii), the request for a Working Capital Loan that is a Base Rate Loan by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Senior Lenders fund its participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Senior Lender’s payment to

the Senior Facility Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(g)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iv)If any Senior Lender fails to make available to the Senior Facility Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Senior Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(g) by the time specified in Section 2.04(g)(ii), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Senior Lender (acting through the Senior Facility Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (A) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (B) an overnight rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Senior Lender pays such Refunded Swing Line Loan (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Working Capital Loan included in the Commitment or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Senior Lender (through the Senior Facility Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iv) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(v)Each Senior Lender’s obligation to make Working Capital Loans or to purchase and fund participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(g) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Senior Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Senior Lender’s obligation to make Working Capital Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(g) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.02 (Conditions to Certain Extensions of Credit). No such funding of participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(h)Repayment of Participations.

(i)At any time after any Senior Lender has purchased and funded a participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Senior Lender its Proportionate Share thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii)If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.13 (Payments Set Aside), each Senior Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Proportionate Share thereof on demand of the Senior Facility Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand

to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (A) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (B) an overnight rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. The Senior Facility Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Senior Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(i)Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Senior Lender funds its Refunded Swing Line Loan or participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Proportionate Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Proportionate Share shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

(j)Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

(k)Resignation as Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender may upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Senior Lenders a successor Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the Swing Line Lender as Swing Line Lender. If the Swing Line Lender resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Senior Lenders to make Working Capital Loans that are Base Rate Loans or fund participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(g). Upon the appointment of a successor Swing Line Lender, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swing Line Lender.

(a)Commitment Increase. The Borrower may, by written notice to the Senior Facility Agent (a “Commitment Increase Notice”), request increases in the Commitments as follows:

(i)The Borrower may request from time to time increases in the Commitments of up to seven hundred sixty million Dollars ($760,000,000) in the aggregate (a “Train 5 Commitment Increase”).

(ii)On or after the earlier of the Train 6 Debt Effective Date or the Train 6 FID Date, theThe Borrower may request from time to time additional increases (in addition to the increases pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(i)) in the Commitments of up to three hundred ninety million Dollars ($390,000,000) in the aggregate (a “Train 6 Commitment Increase”). Subject to Section 2.05(c), the Working Capital Sublimit and the DSR Sublimit will be increased by the amount of the Train 6 Commitment Increase

(b)Commitment Increase Notice. The Commitment Increase Notice shall specify (i) the date on which the Borrower proposes that the Train 5 Commitment Increase or Train 6 Commitment Increase, as applicable, shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Senior Facility Agent and (ii) the identity of each Senior Lender or other Person that is an Eligible Assignee (each, an “Incremental Lender”) to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of the Train 5 Commitment Increase or Train 6 Commitment Increase, as applicable, be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that, any Senior Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the Train 5 Commitment Increase or Train 6 Commitment Increase, as applicable, may elect or decline, in its sole and absolute discretion, to participate.

(c)Incremental Amendments. The Train 5 Commitment Increase or Train 6 Commitment Increase, as applicable, shall become Commitments (or, in the case of an increase in the commitment of an existing Senior Lender, an increase in such Senior Lender’s applicable Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (such amendment, an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement executed by the Borrower, the Senior Facility Agent and each Incremental Lender (with the consent of no other Senior Lender or Senior Secured Party being required) which provides solely for (i) the increase in the applicable Commitments, (ii) amendments required to reflect the relative unfunded Commitments of the Incremental Lenders and (iii) the joinder of each Incremental Lender that is not already an existing Senior Lender to this Agreement. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject solely to (A) the satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 7.01(m) (No Material Adverse Effect), (B) the condition that no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such date of effectiveness before or after giving effect to such Train 5 Commitment Increase or Train 6 Commitment Increase, as applicable, and (C) the condition that each Incremental Lender that is not already a Senior Lender shall be entitled to receipt of any required reliance letters in respect of the legal opinions provided to the Senior Facility Agent pursuant to Section 7.01(f) (Opinions from Counsel), (D) the condition that the Senior Facility Agent has received an updated Base Case Forecast in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Senior Facility Agent and (E) such other conditions to which the Borrower and the Incremental Lenders agree.

In no event shall the Senior Lenders have any obligation to pay any amount to (or for the account of) any Senior Issuing Bank or any other Person, in respect of a drawing under a Letter of Credit that occurs after the Maturity Date.

(e)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Senior Issuing Bank will have any obligation to issue or renew, or extend the expiry date of, any Letter of Credit if any judgment, order, or decree of any Government Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Senior Issuing Bank from issuing or renewing or extending the expiry date of such Letter of Credit, or any Government Rule or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Government Authority with jurisdiction over such Senior Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or direct that such Senior Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of new letters of credit or the renewal or extension of the expiry date of issued letters of credit generally or the issuance, renewal or extension of the expiry date of a Letter of Credit specifically or shall impose upon such Senior Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve, or capital requirement, or shall impose upon such Senior Issuing Bank any loss, cost, or expense.

SECTION 3.03. Reimbursement to Senior Issuing Banks.

(a)A Senior Issuing Bank shall give the Senior Facility Agent, the Common Security Trustee, the Borrower and each of the Senior Lenders prompt notice of any payment made by such Senior Issuing Bank in accordance with the terms of any Letter of Credit issued by such Senior Issuing Bank (an “LC Payment Notice”) no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately succeeding the date of such payment by such Senior Issuing Bank.

(b)Upon delivery to the Borrower of an LC Payment Notice on or before 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately succeeding the date of such payment by a Senior Issuing Bank, unless the Borrower provides written notice to such Senior Issuing Bank and the Senior Facility Agent electing to have the reimbursement obligation converted into an LC Loan in accordance with Section 3.03(c) and (f), the Borrower shall, on or before 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such Business Day, reimburse such Senior Issuing Bank for such payment (an “LC Reimbursement Payment”) by paying to the Senior Facility Agent, for the account of such Senior Issuing Bank, an amount equal to the payment made by such Senior Issuing Bank plus interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 2.00%; provided that, if a Senior Issuing Bank delivers an LC Payment Notice to the Borrower after 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately succeeding the date of payment by such Senior Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall make the LC Reimbursement Payment on or before 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day. A Senior Issuing Bank’s failure to provide an LC Payment Notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Senior Issuing Bank for any payment it makes under any Letter of Credit.

(c)If the Borrower fails to make the LC Reimbursement Payment as required under Section 3.03(b) or provides written notice to such Senior Issuing Bank and the Senior Facility Agent electing to have the reimbursement obligation converted into an LC Loan in accordance with this Section 3.03(c) and Section 3.03(f), the Senior Facility Agent shall promptly notify each of the Senior Lenders of the amount of its share of the payment made under the Letter of Credit, which shall be such Senior Lender’s Proportionate Share of such amount paid by such Senior Issuing Bank (the “Senior Lender Payment Notice”). Each Senior Lender hereby severally agrees to pay such amount in immediately available funds to the Senior Facility Agent for the account of such Senior Issuing Bank plus interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from the date of such payment by such Senior Issuing Bank to the date of payment to such Senior Issuing Bank by such Senior Lender. Each Senior

Lender shall make such payment by not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date it received the Senior Lender Payment Notice (if such notice is received at or prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time) and before 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day following such receipt (if such notice is received after 1:00 p.m., New York City time). Each Senior Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless such Senior Issuing Bank from and against any and all losses, liabilities (including liabilities for penalties), actions, suits, judgments, demands, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) resulting from any failure on the part of such Senior Lender to provide, or from any delay in providing, the Senior Facility Agent for the account of such Senior Issuing Bank with its Proportionate Share of the amount paid under the Letter of Credit but no such Senior Lender shall be so liable for any such failure on the part of or caused by any other Senior Lender or the willful misconduct or gross negligence, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non- appealable order, of the Senior Facility Agent. Each Senior Lender’s obligation to make each such payment to the Senior Facility Agent for the account of the applicable Senior Issuing Bank shall be several and not joint and shall not be affected by (A) the occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default, (B) the failure of any other Senior Lender to make any payment under this Section 3.03, or (C) the date of the drawing under the applicable Letter of Credit issued by the applicable Senior Issuing Bank; provided that, such drawing occurs prior to the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date or (ii) the termination date of the applicable Letter of Credit. Each Senior Lender further agrees that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(d)The Senior Facility Agent shall pay to such Senior Issuing Bank in immediately available funds the amounts paid pursuant to Sections 3.03(b) and 3.03(c) before the close of business on the day such payment is received; provided that, any amount received by the Senior Facility Agent that is due and owing to such Senior Issuing Bank and remains unpaid to such Senior Issuing Bank on the date of receipt shall be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with interest payable at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

(e)For so long as any Senior Lender is a Defaulting Lender under clause (a) of the definition thereof, each Senior Issuing Bank shall be deemed, for purposes of Section 4.15 (Sharing of Payments, Etc.) and Article IX (Defaults), to be a Senior Lender hereunder in substitution of such Defaulting Lender, owed a loan in an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount due and payable by such Senior Lender to the Senior Facility Agent for the account of each Senior Issuing Bank pursuant to subsection (c) above. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the failure of any Senior Lender to make any required payment in response to any LC Payment Notice shall not increase the total aggregate amount payable by the Borrower with respect to the payment described in such LC Payment Notice above the total aggregate amount that would have been payable by the Borrower at the applicable rate for Loans if such Defaulting Lender would have funded its payments to such Senior Facility Agent in a timely manner in response to such LC Payment Notice.

(f)Each payment made by a Senior Lender under subsection (c) above shall constitute an LC Loan deemed made by such Senior Lender to the Borrower on the date of such payment by a Senior Issuing Bank under the Letter of Credit issued by such Senior Issuing Bank. All such payments by the Senior Lenders in respect of any one such payment by such Senior

Issuing Bank shall constitute a single LC Loan hereunder. Each LC Loan initially shall be a Base Rate Loan.

SECTION 3.04. Obligations Absolute. The payment obligations of each Senior Lender under Section 3.03(c) (Reimbursement to Senior Issuing Banks) and of the Borrower under this Agreement in respect of any payment under any Letter of Credit and any Loan shall be unconditional and irrevocable (subject only to the Borrower’s and each Senior Lender’s right to bring suit against a Senior Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.05 (Liability of Senior Issuing Banks and Senior Lenders) following the reimbursement of such Senior Issuing Bank for any such payment), and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(a)any lack of validity or enforceability of any Financing Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto or to such Letter of Credit;

(b)any amendment or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, all or any of the Financing Documents;

(c)the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary, or any transferee, of such Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any Senior Issuing Bank, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or by such Letter of Credit, or any unrelated transaction;

(d)any statement or any other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(e)payment in good faith by a Senior Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit issued by such Senior Issuing Bank against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or

(f)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

SECTION 3.05. Liability of Senior Issuing Banks and the Senior Lenders. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit, and none of the Senior Facility Agent, the Senior Issuing Banks, the Senior Lenders nor any of their respective Related Parties shall be liable or responsible for (a) the use that may be made of such Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee thereof in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by the applicable Senior Issuing Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under such Letter of Credit, provided that, in each case, payment by the applicable Senior Issuing Bank shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct as

determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable order. The Borrower and each Senior Lender shall have the right to bring suit against a Senior Issuing Bank, and such Senior Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrower and any Senior Lender, to the extent of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower or such Senior Lender caused by such Senior Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable order, including such Senior Issuing Bank’s willful failure to make timely payment under such Letter of Credit following the presentation to it by the beneficiary thereof of a draft and accompanying certificate(s) which strictly comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.

SECTION 3.06. Resignation as Senior Issuing Bank. Any Senior Issuing Bank may, upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Borrower resign as Senior Issuing Bank. In the event of any such resignation as Senior Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint a successor Senior Issuing Bank hereunder from among the Senior Lenders who meet the requirements hereunder to be a Senior Issuing Bank; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of any Senior Issuing Bank. If ABN AMRO Capital USA LLC, HSBC Bank USA, National Association, ING Capital LLC, The Bank of Nova Scotia, or another Senior Lender resigns as Senior Issuing Bank, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of Senior Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit that it issued, including Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Senior Issuing Bank and all LC Exposure with respect thereto (including the right to require the Senior Lenders to make LC Loans or fund participations in Letters of Credit).

shall so notify the Borrower and the Senior Lenders). After such Default or Event of Default has ceased, the Borrower may convert each such Base Rate Loan into a LIBO Loan in accordance with this Agreement by delivering an Interest Period Notice in accordance with Section 4.07 (Conversion Options).

Upon receipt of any such notice the Senior Facility Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Senior Lender thereof.

SECTION 4.08. Post-Maturity Interest Rates; Default Interest Rates. If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan is not paid when due (whether on the Termination Date or, in the case of Swing Line Loans, the Swing Line Loan Termination Date, or in the case of LC Loans, the LC Loan Termination Date, or otherwise) or any Obligation (other than principal on the Loans) is not paid or deposited when due (whether on the Termination Date, by acceleration or otherwise), all Obligations not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Loans plus 2.00% (the “Default Rate”), from the date of such non-payment until the amount then due is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

All computations of interest for LIBO Loans, and for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Federal Funds Effective Rate, shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed.

(b)Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that, any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one (1) day.

(c)Each determination by the Senior Facility Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

SECTION 4.11. Time and Place of Payments.

(a)Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.03(b) (Reimbursement to Senior Issuing Banks), the Borrower shall make each payment (including any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other Obligations) hereunder without setoff, deduction or counterclaim not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due in Dollars and, in immediately available funds, to the Senior Facility Agent at the following account: The Bank of Nova Scotia, New York Agency, ABA No. 026 002 532, Account No. 0000000, Attn: GWS Loan Operations, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Ref: Xxxxxx Pass Liquefaction, or at such other office or account as may from time to time be specified by the Senior Facility Agent to the Borrower, except payments to be made directly to a Senior Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender as expressly provided herein. Funds received after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, shall be deemed to have been received by the Senior Facility Agent on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b)The Senior Facility Agent shall promptly remit in immediately available funds to each Senior Secured Party its share, if any, of any payments received by the Senior Facility Agent for the account of such Senior Secured Party.

(c)Whenever any payment (including any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other Obligations) hereunder shall become due, or otherwise would occur on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall (except as otherwise required by the proviso to the definition of “Interest Period” with respect to LIBO Loans) be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day, and such increase of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

SECTION 4.12. Borrowings and Payments Generally.

(a)Unless the Senior Facility Agent has received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Senior Facility Agent for the account of the Senior Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Senior Facility Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance with this Agreement and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Senior Lenders the amount due. If the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Senior Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Senior Facility Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Senior Lender in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from (and including) the date such amount is distributed to it to (but excluding) the date of payment to the Senior Facility Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. A notice of the Senior Facility Agent to any Senior Lender with respect to any amount owing under this Section 4.12 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Senior Lender to obtain funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Senior Lender that it has obtained or will obtain funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(c)The Borrower hereby authorizes each Senior Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Senior Issuing Bank, if and to the extent payment owed to such Senior Lender, Swing Line Lender or Senior Issuing Bank is not made when due under this Agreement, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such Senior Lender, Swing Line Lender or Senior Issuing Bank any amount so due.

SECTION 4.13. Fees.

(a)From and including the date hereof until the Termination Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Senior Facility Agent for the account of each Senior Lender a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) on the average daily amount of such Senior Lender’s Commitment (calculated as its Proportionate Share of the excess of the Total Commitment over the Principal Amount Outstanding without giving effect to any outstanding Swing Line Loans as of the applicable date of determination), at a rate per annum equal to 40% of the Applicable Margin for LIBO Loans, from the date hereof until the Termination Date, payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter, commencing on the first such date to occur following the date hereof, and on the Termination Date.

(b)The Borrower agrees to pay to the Senior Facility Agent for the account of each Senior Lender a letter of credit fee (the “LC Fee”) on the average daily aggregate amount of such Senior Lender’s Proportionate Share of the LC Available Amount, if any, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBO Loans, payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter, commencing on the first such date to occur following the date of issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder, and on the Maturity Date; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit which are not cash collateralized pursuant to Section 9.06(d) (Application of Proceeds), such LC Fee shall be increased by 2.0% per annum.

(c)The Borrower agrees to pay to the Senior Facility Agent, for its own account, and to each Senior Lender the fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in the Fee Letters.

(d)The Borrower shall not be liable to pay any Senior Issuing Bank any fronting fees, nor shall it be liable to pay any other fees, costs, expenses, or charges with respect to opening, drawings under, renewals of, amendments to, transfers of or otherwise with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by such Senior Issuing Bank, other than as may be specifically stated in the Fee Letter to which such Senior Issuing Bank is a party.

(e)Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

(f)All Commitment Fees and LC Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 days, as prorated for any partial quarter, as applicable.

SECTION 4.14. Pro Rata Treatment.

(a)Each Loan and each reduction of commitments pursuant to Section 2.06 (Termination or Reduction of Commitments) or otherwise, shall be allocated by the Senior Facility Agent pro rata among the Senior Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares.

(b)Except as otherwise required under Article V (LIBOR and Tax Provisions), each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loans shall be allocated by the Senior Facility Agent pro rata among the Senior Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans, and each payment of interest on the Loans shall be allocated by the Senior Facility Agent pro rata among the Senior Lenders in accordance with the respective interest amounts outstanding on their Loans. Each payment of the Commitment Fee shall be allocated by the Senior Facility Agent pro rata among the Senior Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment.

SECTION 4.15. Sharing of Payments.

(a)If any Senior Lender obtains any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of any Loan (other than pursuant to the terms of Article V (LIBOR and Tax Provisions)) in excess of its pro rata share of payments then or therewith obtained by all the Senior Lenders holding such Loans, such Senior Lender shall purchase from the other Senior Lenders (for cash at face value) such participations in Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Senior Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Senior Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and each Senior Lender that has sold a participation to the purchasing Senior Lender shall repay to the purchasing Senior Lender the purchase price to the ratable extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such selling Senior Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (x) the amount of such selling Senior Lender’s required repayment to the purchasing Senior Lender to (y) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Senior Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Senior Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The

Borrower agrees that any Senior Lender so purchasing a participation from another Senior Lender

pursuant to this Section 4.15(a) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including pursuant to Section 11.14 (Right of Setoff)) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Senior Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The provisions of this Section 4.14 shall not be construed to apply to any payment by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by any Senior Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Loans.

(b)If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Senior Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 4.15 applies, such Senior Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Senior Lenders entitled under this Section 4.15 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

ARTICLE V

LIBOR AND TAX PROVISIONS

SECTION 5.01. LIBOR Lending Unlawful. In the event that it becomes unlawful or, by reason of a Change in Law, any Senior Lender is unable to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBO Loans, then such Senior Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of such event (with a copy to the Senior Facility Agent) and such Senior Lender’s obligation to make or to continue LIBO Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans into LIBO Loans, as the case may be, shall be suspended until such time as such Senior Lender may again make and maintain LIBO Loans. During such period of suspension, the Loans that would otherwise be made by such Senior Lender as LIBO Loans shall be made instead by such Senior Lender as Base Rate Loans and each LIBO Loan made by such Senior Lender and outstanding will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor if such Loan may lawfully remain outstanding until the end of such Interest Period, and otherwise immediately, convert into a Base Rate Loan. At the Borrower’s request, each Senior Lender shall use reasonable efforts, including using reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans or to assign its rights and obligations under the Financing Documents to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Senior Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or avoid such illegality and (b) would not subject such Senior Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Senior Lender. The Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Senior Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

SECTION 5.02. Inability to Determine LIBOR. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBO Loan:

(a)the Senior Facility Agent reasonably determines that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period; or

(b)the Senior Facility Agent is advised by the Required Senior Lenders that such Required Senior Lenders have reasonably determined that LIBOR for such Interest Period will

not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Senior Lenders of making or maintaining their LIBO Loans for such Interest Period; then the Senior Facility Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Senior Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Senior Facility Agent notifies the Borrower and the Senior Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which notice of subsequent change in circumstances shall be given as promptly as practical), (i) any Interest Period Notice that requests the conversion of any Loan to, or continuation of any Loan as, a LIBO Loan shall be ineffective and such Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (ii) if any Borrowing Notice requests a LIBO Loan, such Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan, or, at the election of the Borrower (upon receipt of the determination to be made by the Required Senior Lenders and only if they are able to agree on such a determination), made as a Loan bearing interest at such rate as the Required Senior Lenders shall determine adequately reflects the costs to the Senior Lenders of making such Loans.

SECTION 5.03. Increased Costs.

(a)If (1) any Change in Law shall (A) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Senior Lender, the Swing Line Lender or any Senior Issuing Bank;

(A)subject the Senior Facility Agent, the Swing Line Lender, any Senior Issuing Bank or any Senior Lender, or its group, to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, and (ii) Taxes described in clauses (a) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (C) impose on any Senior Lender any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Senior Lender; and (2) the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Person of making or maintaining any Loan to the Borrower or participating in the issuance, maintenance or funding of any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or participate in the issuance, maintenance or funding of any such Letter of Credit) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Person hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Person for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered (except to the extent the Borrower is excused from payment pursuant to Section 5.04 (Obligation to Mitigate)).

(b)If any Senior Lender, the Swing Line Lender or any Senior Issuing Bank reasonably determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Senior Lender’s, Swing Line Lender’s or the Senior Issuing Bank’s capital or (without duplication) on the capital of such Senior Lender’s, Swing Line Lender’s or Senior Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or any of the Loans made by such Senior Lender, Swing Line Lender or Senior Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Senior Lender, Swing Line Lender or Senior Issuing Bank, or such Senior Lender’s, Swing Line Lender’s or Senior Issuing Bank’s holding company, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Senior Lender’s, Swing Line Lender’s or Senior Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Senior Lender’s, Swing Line Lender’s or Senior Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon notice by

such Senior Lender, Swing Line Lender or Senior Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall pay within thirty (30) days following the receipt of such notice to such Senior Lender, Swing Line Lender or the Senior Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Senior Lender, Swing Line Lender or Senior Issuing Bank or (without duplication) such Senior Lender’s, Swing Line Lender’s or Senior Issuing Bank’s holding company in full for any such reduction suffered (except to the extent the Borrower is excused from payment pursuant to Section 5.04 (Obligation to Mitigate)). In determining such amount, such Senior Lender, Swing Line Lender or such Senior Issuing Bank may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall deem appropriate.

(c)To claim any amount under this Section 5.03, the Senior Facility Agent, the Swing Line Lender, a Senior Issuing Bank or a Senior Lender, as applicable, shall promptly deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Senior Facility Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Senior Facility Agent, Swing Line Lender, Senior Issuing Bank or Senior Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, under Section 5.03(a) or (b), which certification will be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Senior Facility Agent, Swing Line Lender, Senior Issuing Bank or Senior Lender, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

(d)Promptly after the Senior Facility Agent, the Swing Line Lender, a Senior Issuing Bank or a Senior Lender, as applicable, has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 5.03, such Person shall notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy to the Senior Facility Agent). Failure or delay on the part of the Senior Facility Agent, Swing Line Lender, Senior Issuing Bank or Senior Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall not constitute a waiver of such Person’s right to demand such compensation; provided that, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Person pursuant to this Section 5.03 for any increased costs or reductions attributable to the failure of such Person to notify Borrower within two hundred twenty-five (225) days after the Change in Law giving rise to those increased costs or reductions of such Person’s intention to claim compensation for those circumstances; provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to those increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the two hundred twenty-five (225) day- period referred to above shall be extended to include that period of retroactive effect.

SECTION 5.04. Obligation to Mitigate.

(a)If any Senior Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender or any Senior Lender requests compensation under Section 5.03 (Increased Costs), or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Senior Lender, any Senior Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender or any Government Authority for the account of any Senior Lender, the Swing Line Lender or any Senior Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 5.06 (Taxes), then such Senior Lender, Swing Line Lender or Senior Issuing Bank, as the case may be, if requested by the Borrower in writing, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans or issuing or maintaining its Letters of Credit hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations under the Financing Documents to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Senior Lender, the Swing Line Lender or such Senior Issuing Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable

pursuant to Section 5.03 (Increased Costs) or Section 5.06 (Taxes), as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Senior Lender, Swing Line Lender or such Senior Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Senior Lender, Swing Line Lender or the Senior Issuing Bank in any material respect, contrary to such Senior Lender’s, Swing Line Lender’s or such Senior Issuing Bank’s normal banking practices or violate any applicable Government Rule. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Senior Lender, the Swing Line Lender or such Senior Issuing Bank, as the case may be, in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)If any Senior Lender requests compensation under Section 5.03 (Increased Costs), or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Senior Lender or any Government Authority for the account of any Senior Lender pursuant to Section 5.06 (Taxes) and, in each case, such Senior Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office or to make an assignment in accordance with Section 5.04(a), or if any Senior Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice in writing to such Senior Lender and the Senior Facility Agent, request such Senior Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.04 (Assignments)), all (but not less than all) its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all of its Commitment, if any, its participations in Letters or Credit and the Loans at the time owing to it) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be a Senior Lender, if such Senior Lender accepts such assignment); provided that, (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Senior Facility Agent, (ii) such Senior Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Senior Lender from such assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other Obligations) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.03 (Increased Costs), or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.06 (Taxes), such assignment will result in the elimination or reduction of such compensation or payments. A Senior Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, as a result of a waiver by such Senior Lender of its rights under Section 5.03 (Increased Costs) or Section 5.06 (Taxes), as applicable, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply. If, notwithstanding the satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.03 (Increased Costs) or Section 5.06 (Taxes), a Senior Lender refuses to be replaced pursuant to this Section 5.04, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such Senior Lender any of the compensation referred to in this Section 5.04 or any additional amounts incurred or accrued under Section 5.03 (Increased Costs) or Section 5.06 (Taxes) from and after the date that such replacement would have occurred but for such Senior Lender’s refusal. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Borrower, the Senior Facility Agent, the Swing Line Lender, any Senior Issuing Bank or any Senior Lender may have against any Senior Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.

(c)If (i) any Senior Lender (such Senior Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 11.01 (Amendments, Etc.) requires the consent of all of the Senior Lenders and with respect to which the Supermajority Senior Lenders shall have granted their consent and

(ii) no Event of Default then exists, then the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace all such Non-Consenting Lenders by requiring such Non-Consenting Lenders to assign all their Loans, participations in Letters of Credit and Commitments to one or more Eligible Assignees that are Eligible Transferees; provided that, (A) all Non-Consenting Lenders must be replaced with one or more Senior Lenders that grant the applicable consent, (B) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lenders being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lenders concurrently with such assignment and (C) the replacement Senior Lenders shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lenders a price equal to the amount of such Obligations. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, the Senior Facility Agent, such Non-Consenting Lenders and the replacement Senior Lenders shall otherwise comply with Section 11.04 (Assignments). With the consent of the Required Senior Lenders, the Borrower shall have the right to use new shareholder funding or amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account that are permitted to be distributed pursuant to Section 5.10(d) (Distribution Account) of the Accounts Agreement and in the Equity Proceeds Account that are permitted to be distributed pursuant to Section 5.01(c) (Equity Proceeds Account) to prepay all (and not part of) the Non-Consenting Lenders’ Loans and terminate all the Non-Consenting Lenders’ Commitments subject, in each case, to payment of all accrued interest, fees, costs or expenses due under the Financing Documents to the relevant Senior Lender.

SECTION 5.05. Funding Losses. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any LIBO Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any LIBO Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBO Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any LIBO Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.04 (Obligation to Mitigate), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Senior Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Senior Lender shall be deemed to be the amount determined by the Senior Facility Agent (based upon the information delivered to it by such Senior Lender) to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at LIBOR that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue a LIBO Loan, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Senior Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in Dollars of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the LIBOR market. To claim any amount under this Section 5.05, the Senior Facility Agent shall promptly deliver to the Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that the applicable Senior Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 5.05 (including calculations, in reasonable detail, showing how the Senior Facility Agent computed such amount or amounts), which certificate shall be based upon the information delivered to the Senior Facility Agent by such Senior Lender. The Borrower shall pay to the Senior Facility Agent for the benefit of the applicable Senior Lender the amount due and payable and set forth on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 5.06. Taxes. For purposes of this Section 5.06, the term “applicable Governmental Rule” includes FATCA.

(a)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments on account of any Obligations shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes, except as required by applicable Government Rule; provided that, if the Withholding Agent is required to deduct or withhold any Taxes from those payments, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Government Authority in accordance with applicable Government Rule and (iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.06) each Person entitled thereto receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. In addition, but without duplication of the provisions of Section 5.06(a), the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Government Authority in accordance with any applicable Government Rule.

(c)Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Senior Lender, each Senior Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender and the Senior Facility Agent, within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by such Person on or with respect to any payment on account of any Obligation or required to be deducted or withheld from such payment and any Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.06), and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising from, or with respect to, those Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, whether or not those Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Government Authority. To claim any amount under this Section 5.06(c), the Senior Facility Agent, Swing Line Lender, Senior Issuing Bank or Senior Lenders (as applicable) must deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Senior Facility Agent) a certificate in reasonable detail as to the amount of such payment or liability, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable but in no event later than thirty (30) days after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Government Authority pursuant to this Section 5.06, the Borrower shall deliver to the Senior Facility Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Government Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Senior Facility Agent.

(e)Status of Senior Lenders.

(i)Each Senior Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made hereunder shall deliver to the Borrower and the Senior Facility Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Senior Facility Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Senior Facility Agent as will permit such

payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Senior Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Senior Facility Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Senior Facility Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Senior Facility Agent to determine whether or not such Senior Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.06(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(C) and Section 5.06(f) below) shall not be required if in the Senior Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Senior Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Senior Lender.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A)

each Senior Lender that is a United States Person shall deliver to the Senior Facility Agent for transmission to the Borrower, on or prior to the date on which such Senior Lender becomes a Senior Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Senior Facility Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Senior Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)

each Senior Lender that is not a United States Person (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Senior Facility Agent for transmission to the Borrower (but in the case of a Participant, only to the extent transmission to the Borrower is required under Section 11.04(d) (Assignments)), on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Senior Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the assignment and acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Senior Lender (in the case of each other Senior Lender) and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Senior Facility Agent, whichever of the following is applicable: (i) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Financing Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Financing Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; (ii) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; (iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for

portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or (iv) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable, provided that, if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)

Each Senior Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 5.06(e) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Senior Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Senior Lender shall, upon reasonable request by the Borrower or the Senior Facility Agent, (i) promptly deliver to the Senior Facility Agent for transmission to the Borrower (but in the case of a Participant, only to the extent transmission to the Borrower is required under Section 11.04(d) (Assignments)) new copies of the applicable forms, certificates or other evidence, properly completed and duly executed by such Senior Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code and reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or the Senior Facility Agent to confirm or establish that such Senior Lender is not subject to (or is subject to reduced) deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Senior Lender under this Agreement, or (ii) notify the Senior Facility Agent and the Borrower (but in the case of a Participant, only to the extent direct communication with the Borrower is required under Section 11.04(d) (Assignments)) of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. This Section 5.06(e) applies without duplication of the provisions of Section 5.06(f).

(f)FATCA. If a payment made to a Senior Lender under any Financing Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Senior Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Senior Lender shall deliver to the Senior Facility Agent at the time or times prescribed by Government Rule and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Senior Facility Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Government Rule (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Senior Facility Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Senior Facility Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Senior Lender has complied with such Senior Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 5.06(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g)FATCA Treatment. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Closing Date, the Borrower and the Senior Facility Agent shall treat (and the Senior Lenders hereby authorize the Senior Facility Agent to treat) this Agreement and the Loans as not qualifying as “grandfathered obligations” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

(h)Refunds. If the Senior Facility Agent, Swing Line Lender, any Senior Issuing Bank or any Senior Lender determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.06, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund, net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by the Senior Facility Agent, Swing Line Lender, such Senior Issuing Bank or such Senior Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Government Authority with respect to such refund), provided that, (i) the Borrower, upon the request of the Senior Facility Agent, Swing Line Lender, such Senior Issuing Bank or such Senior Lender (as the case may be), shall repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Government Authority) to the Senior Facility Agent, Swing Line Lender, such Senior Issuing Bank or such Senior Lender in the event the Senior Facility Agent, the Swing Line Lender, such Senior Issuing Bank or such Senior Lender is required to repay such refund to such Government Authority, and (ii) in no event will such Senior Facility Agent, Swing Line Lender, Senior Issuing Bank or Senior Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.06(h), the payment of which would place such Senior Facility Agent, Swing Line Lender, Senior Issuing Bank or Senior Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Senior Facility Agent, Swing Line Lender, Senior Issuing Bank or Senior Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Senior Facility Agent, Swing Line Lender, any Senior Issuing Bank or any Senior Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in any Financing Document, the Senior Facility Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Senior Facility Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Senior Lender, the Swing Line Lender, any Senior Issuing Bank or other Senior Secured Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into any Financing Document or otherwise exist against the Senior Facility Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Senior Facility Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Government Rule. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b)The provisions of this Article X are solely for the benefit of the Senior Facility Agent, the Senior Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Senior Issuing Banks, and neither the Borrower nor any other Person shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions other than the Borrower’s rights under Section 10.06(a) and (b) (Resignation or Removal of Senior Facility Agent).

SECTION 10.02. Rights as a Lender or Secured Hedging Party. Each Person serving as the Senior Facility Agent hereunder or under any other Financing Document shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Commercial Bank Lender, Swing Line Lender, Senior Issuing Bank, Senior Lender, KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, KSURE Covered Facility Lender, Secured Hedging Party or Gas Hedge Provider, as the case may be, as any other Commercial Bank Lender, Swing Line Lender, Senior Issuing Bank, Senior Lender, KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, KSURE Covered Facility Lender, Secured Hedging Party or Gas Hedge Provider, as the case may be, and may exercise the same as though it were not the Senior Facility Agent. Each such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or Affiliates of the Borrower as if such Person were not the Senior Facility Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Senior Lenders.

SECTION 10.03. Exculpatory Provisions.

(a)The Senior Facility Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Financing Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Senior Facility Agent shall not:

(i)be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii)have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Financing Documents that the Senior Facility Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Senior Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Senior Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Financing Documents); provided that, the Senior Facility Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Senior Facility Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Financing Document or applicable Government Rule; or

(iii)except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Financing Documents, have any duty to disclose, nor shall the Senior Facility Agent be liable for any failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Senior Facility Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b)The Senior Facility Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the prior written consent or at the request of the Required Senior Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Senior Lenders as may be necessary, or as the Senior Facility Agent may believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.01 (Amendments, Etc.)) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable order. The Senior Facility Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Senior Facility Agent in writing by the Borrower, the Common Security Trustee, a Senior Lender, the Swing Line Lender or a Senior Issuing Bank. The Senior Facility Agent shall provide copies of such notice to the Senior Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Senior Issuing Banks.

(c)The Senior Facility Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Financing Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created by any Security Document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article VII (Conditions Precedent) or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of any items expressly required to be delivered to the Senior Facility Agent.

SECTION 10.04. Reliance by Senior Facility Agent. The Senior Facility Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Senior

Facility Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Senior Facility Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to an Extension of Credit that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of the Required Senior Lenders, the Swing Line Lender, each Senior Issuing Bank and the Senior Facility Agent, as applicable, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to the Required Senior Lenders unless the Swing Line Lender, such Senior Issuing Bank or the Senior Facility Agent, as applicable, has received notice to the contrary from such Senior Lenders or the Intercreditor Agent prior to such Extension of Credit.

SECTION 10.05. Delegation of Duties. The Senior Facility Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise any and all its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Financing Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Senior Facility Agent. The Senior Facility Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article X shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Senior Facility Agent, and shall apply to all of their respective activities in connection with their acting as or for the Senior Facility Agent.

SECTION 10.06. Resignation or Removal of Senior Facility Agent.

(a)The Senior Facility Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Financing Documents at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Borrower, the Common Security Trustee, the Senior Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Senior Issuing Banks. The Senior Facility Agent may be removed at any time (i) by the Required Senior Lenders for such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or (ii) by the Borrower, with the consent of the Required Senior Lenders, for such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the event The Bank of Nova Scotia is no longer the Senior Facility Agent, any successor Senior Facility Agent may be removed at any time with cause by the Required Senior Lenders. Any such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Senior Facility Agent, in accordance with this Section 10.06.

(b)Upon any notice of resignation by the Senior Facility Agent or upon the removal of the Senior Facility Agent by the Required Senior Lenders, or by the Borrower with the approval of the Required Senior Lenders pursuant to Section 10.06(a), the Required Senior Lenders shall appoint a successor Senior Facility Agent, hereunder and under each other Financing Document to which the Senior Facility Agent is a party, such successor Senior Facility Agent to be a commercial bank having a combined capital and surplus of at least one billion Dollars ($1,000,000,000); provided that, in no event shall any successor Senior Facility Agent be a Defaulting Lender; provided, further that, if no Default or Event of Default shall then be continuing, appointment of a successor Senior Facility Agent shall also be acceptable to the Borrower (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The fees

payable by the Borrower to a successor Senior Facility Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.

(c)If no successor Senior Facility Agent has been appointed by the Required Senior Lenders within thirty (30) days after the date such notice of resignation was given by such resigning Senior Facility Agent, or the Required Senior Lenders elected to remove such Person, any Senior Secured Party may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Senior Facility Agent. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper, appoint a successor Senior Facility Agent, who shall serve as Senior Facility Agent hereunder and under each other Financing Document to which it is a party until such time, if any, as the Required Senior Lenders appoint a successor Senior Facility Agent, as provided above.

(d)Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Senior Facility Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Senior Facility Agent, and the retiring (or removed) Senior Facility Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Financing Documents. After the retirement or removal of the Senior Facility Agent hereunder and under the other Financing Documents, the provisions of this Article X and Section 11.08 (Indemnification by the Borrower) shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring (or removed) Person, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Person was acting in its capacity as Senior Facility Agent.

SECTION 10.07. No Amendment to Duties of Senior Facility Agent Without Consent. The Senior Facility Agent shall not be bound by any waiver, amendment, supplement or modification of this Agreement or any other Financing Document that affects its rights or duties hereunder or thereunder unless such Senior Facility Agent shall have given its prior written consent, in its capacity as Senior Facility Agent thereto.

SECTION 10.08. Non-Reliance on Senior Facility Agent. Each of the Senior Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Senior Issuing Banks acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Senior Facility Agent, the Swing Line Lender, the Senior Issuing Banks (in the case of the Senior Lenders), any other Senior Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and make its Extensions of Credit. Each of the Senior Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Senior Issuing Banks also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Senior Facility Agent, the Swing Line Lender, the Senior Issuing Banks (in the case of the Senior Lenders), any other Senior Lenders or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 10.09. No Joint Lead Arranger, No Joint Lead Bookrunner, No Co-Documentation Agent, No Co-Syndication Agent Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Joint Lead Arranger, Joint Lead Bookrunner, Co-Documentation Agent or

Co-Syndication Agent shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Senior Facility Agent, the Swing Line Lender, a Senior Issuing Bank or a Senior Lender.

SECTION 10.10. Certain Obligations. The Senior Facility Agent shall:

(a)give prompt notice to each Senior Lender, the Common Security Trustee, the Swing Line Lender and the Senior Issuing Banks of receipt of each notice or request required or permitted to be given to the Senior Facility Agent by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Financing Document (unless concurrently delivered to the Senior Lenders, the Common Security Trustee, the Swing Line Lender and the Senior Issuing Banks by the Borrower). The Senior Facility Agent will distribute to each Senior Lender, the Common Security Trustee, Swing Line Lender and the Senior Issuing Banks each document or instrument (including each document or instrument delivered by the Borrower to the Senior Facility Agent pursuant to Article VI (Representations and Warranties), Article VII (Conditions Precedent) and Article VIII (Covenants of the Borrower)) received for the account of the Senior Facility Agent and copies of all other communications received by the Senior Facility Agent from the Borrower for distribution to the Senior Lenders, the Common Security Trustee, Swing Line Lender and the Senior Issuing Banks by the Senior Facility Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Financing Document;

(b)except as otherwise expressly provided in any other Financing Document, perform its duties in accordance with any instructions given to it by (i) the Senior Issuing Banks, (ii) the Swing Line Lender or (iii) the Senior Lenders, the Required Senior Lenders or the Supermajority Senior Lenders, as the case may be, which instructions shall be binding on the Senior Facility Agent;

(c)if so instructed by (i) the Senior Issuing Banks, (ii) the Swing Line Lender or (iii) the Senior Lenders, the Required Senior Lenders or the Supermajority Senior Lenders, as the case may be, refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion vested in it; and

(d)without additional charge or compensation, perform such calculations and furnish to the Senior Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Senior Issuing Banks information relating to the principal amount outstanding, interest due, and such other matters as the Senior Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Senior Issuing Banks may reasonably request.

SECTION 11.04. Assignments.

(a)The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each of the Senior Lenders, the Swing Line Lender, the Senior

Issuing Banks and the Senior Facility Agent (and any attempted assignment or other transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), and no Senior Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with Section 11.04(b) and Section 11.04(g), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with Section 11.04(d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 11.04(e) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).

(b)Subject to Section 11.04(g) and this Section 11.04(b), any Senior Lender may, at any time after the date hereof, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments, its participations in Letters of Credit or the Loans at the time owing to it) (provided that, on the date of such assignment, such assignment would not result in an increase in amounts payable by the Borrower under Section 5.03 (Increased Costs), unless such increase in amounts payable measured on such date of assignment is waived by the assigning and assuming Senior Lenders). Except in the case of (x) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Senior Lender’s Commitment, its participations in Letters of Credit and the Loans at the time owing to it or (y) an assignment to a Senior Lender, or an Affiliate of a Senior Lender, or an Approved Fund with respect to a Senior Lender, the sum of (1) the unused Commitments, if any, (2) participations in Letters of Credit, if any, and (3) the outstanding Loans subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Lender Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Senior Facility Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Lender Assignment Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than five million Dollars ($5,000,000), unless the Senior Facility Agent otherwise consents in writing. Subject to Section 11.04(g), each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of the same percentage of the unused Commitments, participations in Letters of Credit and outstanding Loans and a proportionate part of all the assigning Senior Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Commitment, participations in Letters of Credit and outstanding Loans. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Senior Facility Agent a Lender Assignment Agreement in the form of Exhibit E, together with a processing and recordation fee of three thousand five hundred Dollars ($3,500); provided that, (A) no such fee shall be payable in the case of an assignment to a Senior Lender, an Affiliate thereof or an Approved Fund with respect to a Senior Lender and (B) in the case of contemporaneous assignments by a Senior Lender to one or more Approved Funds managed by the same investment advisor (which Approved Funds are not then Senior Lenders hereunder), only a single such three thousand five hundred Dollars ($3,500) fee shall be payable for all such contemporaneous assignments. If the Eligible Assignee is not a Senior Lender prior to such assignment, it shall deliver to the Senior Facility Agent an administrative questionnaire and all documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” requirements. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Senior Facility Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Senior Facility Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans required to be made but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which

the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Senior Facility Agent and each other Senior Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Proportionate Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Senior Facility Agent pursuant to Section 11.04(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Lender Assignment Agreement, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Lender Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Senior Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Senior Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Lender Assignment Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of a Lender Assignment Agreement covering all of the assigning Senior Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Senior Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.03 (Increased Costs), Section 5.06 (Taxes), Section 11.06 (Costs and Expenses) and Section 11.08 (Indemnification by the Borrower) with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Senior Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Senior Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.04(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Senior Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.04(d). Upon any such assignment, the Senior Facility Agent will deliver a notice thereof to the Borrower (provided that, failure to deliver such notice shall not result in any liability for the Senior Facility Agent).

(c)The Senior Facility Agent shall maintain the Register in accordance with Section 2.03(e) (Borrowing of Working Capital Loans) above.

(d)Any Senior Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Senior Facility Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person) or any Loan Party, any Sponsor, any Material Project Party, any Person that is party to any Additional Material Project Document or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Senior Lender’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, participations in Letters of Credit or the Loans owing to it); provided that, (i) such Senior Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Senior Lender remains solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Senior Facility Agent and the other Senior Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Senior Lender in connection with such Senior Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Senior Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 11.08 (Indemnification by the Borrower) with respect to any payments made by such Senior Lender to its Participant(s). Any agreement or

instrument pursuant to which a Senior Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Senior Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that, such agreement or instrument may provide that such Senior Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the proviso to Section 11.01 (Amendments, Etc.) that directly affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.03 (Increased Costs) and Section 5.06 (Taxes) (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 5.06(e) (Taxes - Status of Lenders) (it being understood that any documentation required under Section 5.06 (Taxes) shall be delivered to the participating Senior Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Senior Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that, such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 5.04 (Obligation to Mitigate) as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 11.04; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.03 (Increased Costs) or Section 5.06 (Taxes), with respect to any participation, than its participating Senior Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Senior Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 5.04 (Obligation to Mitigate) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.14 (Right of Setoff) as though it were a Senior Lender; provided that, such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.15 (Sharing of Payments) as though it were a Senior Lender. Each Senior Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Letters of Credit, Loans or other obligations under the Financing Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that, no Senior Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Financing Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Senior Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Senior Facility Agent (in its capacity as Senior Facility Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e)Any Senior Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Senior Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction; provided that, no such pledge or assignment shall release such Senior Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Senior Lender as a party hereto.

(f)The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Lender Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Government Rule, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(g)All assignments by a Senior Lender of all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder shall be made only as an assignment of the same percentage of the outstanding Commitment, participations in Letters of Credit and outstanding Loans held by such Senior Lender.

SECTION 11.05. Benefits of Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Financing Document, express or implied, shall be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, each of their successors and permitted assigns under this Agreement or any other Financing Document, Participants, to the extent provided in Section 11.04 (Assignments), and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Senior Facility Agent, the Common Security Trustee, the Swing Line Lender, the Senior Issuing Banks and the Senior Lenders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right or remedy under this Agreement.

SECTION 11.06. Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (a) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each of the Senior Facility Agent, the Common Security Trustee, the Swing Line Lender, the Senior Issuing Banks and the Senior Lenders and their Affiliates (including all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of one counsel plus one local counsel for the Senior Lenders and their Affiliates in each relevant jurisdiction (provided that, in the case of the continuation of an Event of Default, any Senior Lender may retain separate counsel in the event of an actual conflict of interest (which may be multiple counsel, but only the least number necessary to resolve such conflict of interest) and the Borrower shall pay all reasonable fees, cost and expenses of such additional counsel)) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents; (b) all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses incurred by the Senior Facility Agent, the Common Security Trustee, the Swing Line Lender, the Senior Issuing Banks and the Senior Lenders (including all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of one counsel plus one local counsel for the Senior Lenders and their Affiliates in each relevant jurisdiction (provided that, in the case of the continuation of an Event of Default, any Senior Lender may retain separate counsel in the event of an actual conflict of interest (which may be multiple counsel, but only the least number necessary to resolve such conflict of interest) and the Borrower shall pay all reasonable fees, cost and expenses of such additional counsel)) in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated); (c) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Senior Facility Agent and the Common Security Trustee (including all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of one counsel plus one local counsel for the Senior Lenders and their Affiliates in each relevant jurisdiction (provided that, in the case of the continuation of an Event of Default, any Senior Lender may retain separate counsel in the event of an actual conflict of

interest (which may be multiple counsel, but only the least number necessary to resolve such conflict of interest) and the Borrower shall pay all reasonable fees, cost and expenses of such additional counsel)) in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated); and (d) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Senior Secured Parties (including all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of one counsel plus one local counsel for the Senior Lenders and their Affiliates in each relevant jurisdiction (provided that, in the case of the continuation of an Event of Default, any Senior Lender may retain separate counsel in the event of an actual conflict of interest (which may be multiple counsel, but only the least number necessary to resolve such conflict of interest) and the Borrower shall pay all reasonable fees, cost and expenses of such additional counsel)) in connection with the enforcement or protection (other than in connection with assignment of Loans, participations in Letters of Credit or Commitments) of their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, including their rights under this Section 11.06, including in connection with any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Obligations. The provisions of this Section 11.06 shall not supersede Sections 5.03 (Increased Costs) and 5.06 (Taxes). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Common Security Trustee reasonably believes that a conflict exists in using one counsel, it may engage its own counsel.

SECTION 11.07. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement shall become effective when it has been executed by the Senior Facility Agent and when the Senior Facility Agent has received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or portable document format (“pdf”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.08. Indemnification by the Borrower.

(a)The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Senior Secured Party and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of counsel or consultants for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of:

(i)the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the administration (other than expenses that do not constitute out-of-pocket expenses) or enforcement thereof;

(ii)any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials in violation of Environmental Laws or that could reasonably result in an Environmental Claim on or from the Project or any property owned or operated by

the Borrower, or any Environmental Affiliate or any liability pursuant to an Environmental Law related in any way to the Project or the Borrower;

(iii)any actual or prospective claim (including Environmental Claims), litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on common law, contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s members, managers or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Financing Documents is consummated, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee; or

(iv)any claim, demand or liability for broker’s or finder’s or placement fees or similar commissions, whether or not payable by the Borrower, alleged to have been incurred in connection with such transactions, other than any broker’s or finder’s fees payable to Persons engaged by any Senior Secured Party or Affiliates or Related Parties thereof;

provided that, such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) shall have arisen from a dispute between or among the Indemnitees or from a claim of an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee, which in either case is not the result of an act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates.

(b)To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to pay any amount required under Section 11.06 (Costs and Expenses) or Section 11.08(a) above to be paid by it to any of the Senior Facility Agent, the Common Security Trustee, the Swing Line Lender, any Senior Issuing Bank, any sub-agent thereof, or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Senior Lender severally agrees to pay in accordance with its Proportionate Share to the Senior Facility Agent, the Swing Line Lender, such Senior Issuing Bank, the Common Security Trustee, any such sub-agent, or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Senior Lender’s ratable share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that, the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Senior Facility Agent, the Common Security Trustee, the Swing Line Lender, such Senior Issuing Bank, or any sub-agent thereof in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Senior Facility Agent, the Common Security Trustee, the Swing Line Lender, any Senior Issuing Bank, or any sub-agent thereof in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Senior Lenders to make payments pursuant to this Section 11.08(b) are several and not joint and shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. The failure of any Senior Lender to make payments on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Senior Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Senior Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Senior Lender to do so.

(c)All amounts due under this Section 11.08 shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor.

(d)The provisions of this Section 11.08 shall not supersede Sections 5.03 (Increased Costs) and 5.06 (Taxes).

(e)The Senior Facility Agent shall be fully justified in taking, refusing to take or continuing to take any action hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Senior Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking, refusing to take or continuing to take any such action.

SECTION 11.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Financing Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Financing Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Government Rule (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Senior Facility Agent, the Swing Line Lender, any Senior Issuing Bank or any Senior Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Senior Facility Agent, any Senior Lender, the Swing Line Lender or any Senior Issuing Bank exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Government Rule, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest and (b) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

SECTION 11.10. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Senior Secured Party to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Financing Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Financing Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

SECTION 11.11. Notices and Other Communications.

(a)Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone, all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by facsimile or, except with respect to any notice of Default or Event of Default, sent by email to the address(es), facsimile number or email address specified for the Borrower, the Senior Facility Agent, the Common Security Trustee, the Swing Line Lender, the Senior Issuing Banks or the Senior Lenders, as applicable, on Schedule 11.11.

(b)Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; and notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business

(c)Unless otherwise prescribed, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that, if such notice or other communication is not received during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been received at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient and (ii) notices or communications posted to an internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in Schedule 11.11 of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor. Notwithstanding the above, all notices delivered by the Borrower to the Senior Facility Agent through electronic communications shall be followed by the delivery of a hard copy.

(d)Each of the Borrower, the Senior Facility Agent and the Common Security Trustee may change its address, facsimile telephone number or email address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Any Senior Lender, the Swing Line Lender and any Senior Issuing Bank may change its address, facsimile, telephone number or email address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower, the Senior Facility Agent and the Common Security Trustee.

(e)The Senior Facility Agent, the Common Security Trustee, the Swing Line Lender, the Senior Issuing Banks and the Senior Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any written notices purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Senior Facility Agent, the Common Security Trustee, the Swing Line Lender, the Senior Issuing Banks, the Senior Lenders and the Related Parties of each of them for all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Senior Facility Agent, the Common Security Trustee, the Swing Line Lender, the Senior Issuing Banks and the Senior Lenders by the Borrower may be recorded by the Senior Facility Agent, the Common Security Trustee, the Swing Line Lender, the Senior Issuing Banks and the Senior Lenders, as applicable, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

(f)The Senior Facility Agent agrees that the receipt of the communications by the Senior Facility Agent at its e-mail addresses set forth in Schedule 11.11 shall constitute effective delivery to the Senior Facility Agent for purposes of the Financing Documents. The Swing Line Lender, each Senior Issuing Bank and each Senior Lender agrees to notify the Senior Facility Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Senior Lender’s e-mail address(es) to which the notices may be sent by electronic transmission and that such notices may be sent to such e-mail address(es).

(g)Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Senior Facility Agent, the Common Security Trustee, the Swing Line Lender, any Senior Issuing Bank and any of the Senior Lenders to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Financing Document in any other manner specified in such Financing Document.

(h)So long as The Bank of Nova Scotia is the Senior Facility Agent, the Borrower hereby agrees that it will provide to the Senior Facility Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Senior Facility Agent pursuant to the Financing Documents, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) relates to any Loan borrowing, (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default or (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to any Extension of Credit (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format acceptable to the Senior Facility Agent at the email addresses specified in Schedule 11.11. In addition, the Borrower agrees to continue to provide the Communications to the Senior Facility Agent in the manner specified in the Financing Documents but only to the extent requested by the Senior Facility Agent.

(i)So long as The Bank of Nova Scotia is the Senior Facility Agent, the Borrower further agrees that the Senior Facility Agent may make the Communications available to the Senior Lenders by posting the Communications on an internet website that may, from time to time, be notified to the Senior Lenders (or any replacement or successor thereto) or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). The costs and expenses incurred by the Senior Facility Agent in creating and maintaining the Platform shall be paid by the Borrower in accordance with Section 11.06 (Costs and Expenses).

(j) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE SENIOR FACILITY AGENT DOES NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE SENIOR FACILITY AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE SENIOR FACILITY AGENT OR ANY AFFILIATE THEREOF OR ANY OF ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ADVISORS OR REPRESENTATIVES (COLLECTIVELY, “AGENT PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE BORROWER, ANY SENIOR LENDER, THE SWING LINE LENDER, ANY SENIOR ISSUING BANK OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THE BORROWER’S OR ANY AGENT PARTY’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY AGENT PARTY IS

FOUND IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH AGENT PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

SECTION 11.12. Patriot Act Notice. Each of the Senior Lenders, the Swing Line Lender, the Senior Issuing Banks, the Senior Facility Agent and the Common Security Trustee hereby notifies the Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Senior Lenders, the Swing Line Lender, the Senior Issuing Banks, the Senior Facility Agent or the Common Security Trustee, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

SECTION 11.13. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Senior Facility Agent, the Common Security Trustee, the Swing Line Lender, any Senior Issuing Bank or any Senior Lender, or the Senior Facility Agent, the Common Security Trustee, the Swing Line Lender, any Senior Issuing Bank or any Senior Lender (as the case may be) exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Senior Facility Agent, the Common Security Trustee, the Swing Line Lender, such Senior Issuing Bank or such Senior Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the Obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied by such payment shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) the Swing Line Lender, each Senior Issuing Bank and each Senior Lender severally agrees to pay to the Senior Facility Agent or the Common Security Trustee upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Senior Facility Agent or the Common Security Trustee, as the case may be, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.

SECTION 11.14. Right of Setoff. Each of the Swing Line Lender, the Senior Issuing Banks, the Senior Lenders and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Government Rule, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Swing Line Lender, Senior Issuing Bank, Senior Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Financing Document to such Swing Line Lender, Senior Issuing Bank or Senior Lender, as applicable, irrespective of whether or not such Swing Line Lender, Senior Issuing Bank or Senior Lender, as applicable, shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Financing Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Swing Line Lender, Senior

Issuing Bank or Senior Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of the Swing Line Lender, the Senior Issuing Banks, the Senior Lenders and their respective Affiliates under this Section 11.14 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Swing Line Lender, Senior Issuing Bank, Senior Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each of the Swing Line Lender, the Senior Issuing Banks and the Senior Lenders agrees to notify the Borrower and the Senior Facility Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

SECTION 11.15. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 11.16. Survival. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Section 5.03 (Increased Costs), Section 5.06 (Taxes), Section 11.06 (Costs and Expenses), Section 11.08 (Indemnification by the Borrower) and Section 11.13 (Payments Set Aside) shall survive any termination of this Agreement. In addition, each representation and warranty made hereunder and in any other Financing Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Senior Secured Parties regardless of any investigation made by any Senior Secured Party or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Senior Secured Parties may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of the Extension of Credit, and shall continue in full force and effect as of the date made or any date referred to herein as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder or under any other Financing Document shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

SECTION 11.18. Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Government Rule, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto or their Related Parties, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No party hereto or its Related Parties shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Financing Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
