The Fronting Fee shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days (including the first day but excluding the last day), as pro-rated for any partial quarter, as applicable, and shall be due and payable on each January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance
of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. In addition, the Borrower shall, with respect to all Letters of Credit issued at its request, pay directly to each Issuing Bank for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and
other standard costs and charges, of such Issuing Bank relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Banks included in such Group of Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not have the right to prepay any Competitive Loan without the prior consent of the Bank thereof.

(New York City time) on the date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.01. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank Party its ratable share of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Bank Parties.

Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Term Benchmark Loans or Competitive Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day unless such Domestic Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Domestic Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.
(b)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Bank Parties hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may (but shall have no obligation to), in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be
51



termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations under this Agreement or the Notes.
Section 2.17. Increase of Commitments. (a) Upon at least five days’
prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Banks), the Borrower shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, to increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments in multiples of $5,000,000;
provided that (i) such increase may be effected by increasing either the 2027 Commitments (prior to the 2027 Commitment Termination Date) or the 2028 Commitments or both, so long as such increase satisfies all terms and conditions herein, including, but not limited to, this Section 2.17, (ii) the amount of such increase when added to the aggregate amount of all such prior increases in the Commitments hereunder (including by way of creating new Commitments), on or after the Amendment Effective Date, does not exceed the sum of $500,000,000750,000,000 and the amount of any Commitments terminated by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19(c) and (iii) the total aggregate amount of Commitments hereunder does not, at any time, exceed $2,200,000,0002,450,000,000.
(b)    Any such increase in the Commitments (the “Incremental Commitments”) hereunder shall apply, at the option of the Borrower, (x) to the Commitment of one or more Banks; provided that (i) the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Bank the Commitment of which is to be increased shall consent to such increase, (ii) the amount set forth on the Commitment Schedule opposite the name of each Bank the Commitment of which is being so increased shall be amended to reflect the increased Commitment of such Bank and (iii) if any Committed Loans are outstanding at the time of such an increase, the Borrower will, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on the date of such increase, incur and repay or prepay one or more Committed Loans from the Banks in such amounts so that after giving effect thereto the Committed Loans shall be outstanding on a pro rata basis (based on the Commitments of the Banks after giving effect to the changes made pursuant to this Section 2.17 on such date) from all the Banks or (y) to the creation of a new Commitment of one or more institutions not then a Bank hereunder; provided that (i) such institution becomes a party to this Agreement as a Bank by execution and delivery to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of counterparts of this Agreement, (ii) the Commitment Schedule shall be amended to reflect the Commitment of such new Bank, (iii) if requested by such new Bank, the Borrower shall issue a Note to such new Bank in conformity with the provisions of Section 2.05, (iv) if any Committed Loans are outstanding at the time of the creation of such Commitment of such Bank, the Borrower will, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on the date of the creation of such Commitment, incur and repay or prepay one or more Committed Loans from the Banks in such amounts so that after giving effect thereto the Committed Loans shall be outstanding on a pro rata basis (based on the Commitments of the Banks after giving effect to the changes made pursuant to this Section 2.17 on such date) from all the Banks and (v) if such institution is neither a banking
57



the Borrower shall be the sole party to any Letter of Credit Application notwithstanding that any Letter of Credit may be issued or amended, as the case may be, for the account of the Borrower, its Consolidated Entities, its Members or any member of its Consolidated Entities. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least one (1) Domestic Business Day (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the respective Issuing Bank: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Domestic Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof (which date shall be not later than the earlier of (1) the date which is twelve (12) months after the proposed issuance date and (2) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (or such later date as may be agreed by the Banks in accordance with Section 2.01(c)(i)); (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as such Issuing Bank may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the respective Issuing Bank (w) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (x) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Domestic Business Day); (y) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (z) such other matters as such Issuing Bank may require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require; provided that furnishing such documents shall not adversely affect the timing of such Letter of Credit issuance or amendment.
(ii)    Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the Issuing Bank will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Letter of Credit can be issued, and if the Administrative Agent has receivedrequests, such Issuing Bank shall provide a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, such Issuing Bank will provideto the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless such Issuing Bank has received written notice from any Bank, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at least one (1) Domestic Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article 3 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, make an L/C Credit Extension for the account of the Borrower, its Consolidated Entities, its Members or any member of its Consolidated Entities, or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case
63



may be, in each case in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the making of each L/C Credit Extension, each Bank shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such Issuing Bank a risk participation in such L/C Credit Extension in an amount equal to the product of such Bank’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such L/C Credit Extension (calculated after the Maturity Date with respect to the 2027 Commitments, only by reference to the 2028 Facility).
(iii)    If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, (i) upon the expiration of the initial term of each
Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit shall terminate or (ii) upon the expiration of the initial and each successive term of each Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit shall then be automatically extended for successive one-year terms (each such automatically extending Letter of Credit, an “
Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”), except that the last term in each
case shall in any event expire not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (or such later date as may be agreed by the Banks in accordance with Section 2.01(c)(i));
provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) or upon notice to such Issuing Bank by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(i), by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a Domestic Business Day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”)
in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by such Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Banks shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (or such later date as may be agreed by the Banks in accordance with Section 2.01(c)(i));
provided, however, that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if such Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.01(c)(i), or otherwise), or it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Domestic Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent that the Required Banks have elected not to permit such extension or from the Administrative Agent or any Bank that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.03 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such Issuing Bank not to permit such extension.
64



on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.
(l)    Replacement or Addition of Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced or added at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (unless, in the case of the replacement of an Issuing Bank, the successor Issuing Bank is a Bank and, if applicable, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and the successor or additional Issuing Bank, as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Banks of any such replacement or addition, as applicable, of an Issuing Bank. Where an Issuing Bank is replaced, at the time such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for account of the replaced Issuing Bank. Furthermore, from and after the effective date of such replacement, the successor Issuing Bank, shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter. References herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer
to any successor or additional Issuing Bank, as applicable, or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to any successor or additional Issuing Banks, as applicable, and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
(m)    Reallocation of Risk Participations. On the 2027 Commitment Termination Date, all risk participations with respect to Letters of Credit
issued on or prior to the 2027 Commitment Termination Date, and all
obligations to make Loans or reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank for any
amount drawn under such Letters of Credit, shall be reallocated to the 2028 Banks in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the 2028 Facility;
provided
that (i) no such reallocation shall occur if any Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing (and each 2027 Bank shall continue to
be entitled to its Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Fees) and (ii) such reallocation shall only be effected to the extent that it would not result in the 2028 Credit Exposure of any 2028 Bank exceeding such Bank’s 2028 Commitments (and any portion of the risk participation or other obligation
not reallocated as a result of this clause (ii) shall terminate on the 2027 Commitment Termination Date).
Section 2.21. 2027 Conversions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and pursuant to an offer (a “2027 Conversion Offer”) made by the Borrower after the Amendment Effective Date to any 2027 Bank, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual 2027 Banks that accept such 2027 Conversion Offer to convert all (but not less than all) of such accepting 2027 Bank’s 2027
71



Commitment and 2027 Credit Exposure to an equal principal amount of a 2028 Commitment and 2028 Credit Exposure (a 2027 Conversion). Upon the effectiveness of any such 2027 Conversion, (i) such accepting 2027 Bank shall become a 2028 Bank, (ii) such accepting 2027 Bank’s 2027 Commitments shall become 2028 Commitments in an aggregate principal amount equal to such accepting 2027 Bank’s 2027 Commitments and (iii) such accepting 2027 Bank’s 2027 Credit Exposure shall become a 2028 Credit Exposure in an aggregate principal amount equal to such accepting 2027 Bank’s 2027 Credit Exposure. In connection with any 2027 Conversion, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank at least five Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including, without limitation, regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such conversion), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purpose of this Section.
Section 2.22. Section 2.21. Extension of Commitment Termination Date. (a) The Borrower may, at any one time in any calendar year, by notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Banks) not later than 30 days prior to the proposed Extension Date (as defined below), and on not more than two occasions following the SecondThird Amendment Effective Date, request that each 20272028 Bank extend such 20272028 Bank’s 20272028 Commitment Termination Date for an additional one year after the 20272028 Commitment Termination Date then in effect for such 20272028 Bank hereunder (the “Existing Commitment Termination Date”); provided, however, that the Extended Commitment Termination Date shall not be more than three (3) years later than the applicable Extension Date.
(b)    (a) In the event it receives a notice from the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.212.22(a), each 20272028 Bank, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not earlier than 30 days prior to the applicable Extension Date and not later than the date (the “Bank Extension Notice Date”) that is 20 days prior to the applicable Extension Date, advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such 20272028 Bank agrees to such extension (and each Bank that determines not to so extend its Existing Commitment Termination Date (a “Non-Extending Bank”) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Bank Extension Notice Date)), and any 20272028 Bank that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Bank Extension Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Bank. The election of any Bank to agree to any such extension shall not obligate any other Bank to so agree.
(c)     (b) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of each Bank’s determination (or deemed determination) under this Section no later than
72



the date that is 15 days prior to the applicable Extension Date, or, if such date is not a Domestic Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day (the
Specified Date”).
(d)    (c) The Borrower shall have the right on or before the fifth Domestic Business Day after the Specified Date (the “Extension Date”) to
replace each Non-Extending Bank (i) with an existing
20272028 Bank, and/or (ii) by adding as “Banks” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more Persons (each Bank in clauses (i) and (ii), an “Additional Commitment Bank”), each of which Additional Commitment Banks shall be an Assignee and shall have entered into an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Bank shall, effective as of the Extension Date, undertake a Commitment (and, if any such Additional Commitment Bank is already a Bank, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Bank’s Commitment hereunder on such date); provided that the aggregate amount of the Commitments for all Additional Commitment Banks shall be no more than the aggregate amount of the Commitments of all
Non-Extending Banks; provided, further, that the existing
20272028 Banks shall have the right to increase their Commitments up to the amount of the
Non-Extending Banks’ Commitments before the Borrower shall have the right to substitute any other Person for any Non-Extending Bank.
(e)    (d) If (and only if) the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Banks that have agreed to extend their Existing Commitment Termination Dates plus the aggregate additional Commitments of the Additional Commitment Banks shall be more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect immediately prior to the Specified Date, then, effective as of the Extension Date, the Existing Commitment Termination Date of each 20272028 Bank agreeing to an extension and of each Additional Commitment Bank shall be extended to the date that is one year after the Existing Commitment Termination Date, and each Additional Commitment Bank shall thereupon become a “Bank”
for all purposes of this Agreement.
(f)    (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the extension of any 20272028 Bank’s Existing Commitment Termination Date (and the accession of each Additional Commitment Bank) pursuant to this Section shall be effective on the Extension Date only if (i) the following statements shall be true: (A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would result from the extension of the Existing Commitment Termination Date and (B) all the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of materiality qualifications otherwise set forth in such representations and warranties, before and after giving effect to such extension), and (ii) on or prior to the Extension Date the Administrative Agent shall have received the following, each dated the Extension Date and in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (1) a certificate signed by any one of the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Accounting Officer, an Assistant
73



Secretary-Treasurer, the Controller or the Vice President, Capital Markets Relations of the Borrower to the effect that the conditions set forth in clauses (c) through (g), inclusive, of Section 3.03 have been satisfied as of the Extension Date and, in the case of clauses (c), (d) and (g), setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations required to establish such compliance, (2) a certificate of an officer of the Borrower acceptable to the Administrative Agent stating that all consents, authorizations, notices and filings required or advisable in connection with the extension of the Existing Commitment Termination Date are in full force and effect, and the Administrative Agent shall have received evidence thereof reasonably satisfactory to it, (3) an opinion of the General Counsel of the Borrower, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereof, provided that an enforceability opinion under New York law, that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, shall be furnished by the Borrower’s New York counsel, Foley & Lardner LLP, subject to customary assumptions, qualifications and limitations and (4) such other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.
(g)     (f) Subject to subsection (e) above, the Commitment of any
Non-Extending Bank that has not been replaced pursuant to subsection (d) above shall (i) automatically terminate on its Existing Commitment Termination Date or (ii) at the option of the Borrower, with respect to the Commitments of all
Non-Extending Banks that have advised the Borrower of their unwillingness to agree to an extension in response to a notice delivered pursuant to Section
2.212.22(a), terminate on any anniversary of November 28, 2022 (each, an “Anniversary Date”) occurring prior thereto (in each case without regard to any extension by any other Bank); it being understood and agreed that such
Non-Extending Bank’s participations in Letters of Credit outstanding on such Existing Commitment Termination Date or such Anniversary Date, as the case may be, shall terminate thereon and any and all fees and expenses owed to each Non-Extending Bank as of that date shall be paid by the Borrower to such
Non-Extending Bank.
Section 2.23. Section 2.22. Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the 20272028 Banks set forth in this Section, will make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time on any Domestic Business Day, in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) the Credit Exposure of any 20272028 Bank exceeding its Commitment, (ii) the total 20272028 Credit Exposures exceeding the total 20272028 Commitments or (iii) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding the Swingline Sublimit; provided, further, that no Swingline Lender shall be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.
(b)    Each Swingline Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s notice to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent. Each such notice
74



shall be in the form of a written Swingline Borrowing Request, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, or may be given by telephone (if promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of such a written Swingline Borrowing Request consistent with such telephonic notice) and must be received by the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of the requested Swingline Borrowing, and such notice shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be in a minimum of $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000, and (ii) the date of such Swingline Borrowing (which shall be a Domestic Business Day). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, such Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by credit to the Borrower’s account with such Swingline Lender or by wire transfer in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Credit Extension as provided in Section 2.01(c), by remittance to the respective Issuing Bank), not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.
(c)    (i) Immediately upon the making of a Swingline Loan by the Swingline Lender, and without any further action on the part of the Swingline Lender or the 20272028 Banks, the Swingline Lender hereby grants to each Lender, and each 20272028 Bank hereby acquires from the Swingline Lender, a participation in such Swingline Loan equal to such 20272028 Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such Swingline Loan. The Swingline Lender may, by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), on any Domestic Business Day, require the 20272028 Banks to fund participations on the Domestic Business Day in all or a portion of its Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which 20272028 Banks will fund such participations. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each 20272028 Bank, specifying in such notice such 20272028 Bank’s Pro Rata Share of each such Swingline Loan. Each 20272028 Bank hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above in this paragraph, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such 20272028 Bank’s Pro Rata Share of each such Swingline Loan. Each 20272028 Bank acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire and fund participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(ii)    The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan funded pursuant to the preceding paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any
75



amounts received by a Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan made by the Swingline Lender after receipt by such Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent. Any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the 20272028 Banks that shall have made their payments pursuant to the preceding paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear, provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.
(d)    The Swingline Lender may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, the 20272028 Banks and the Borrower. After the resignation of a Swingline Lender hereunder, the retiring Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to
Swingline Loans made by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to make any additional Swingline Loans.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is hereby made to (i) that certain Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of October 20, 2022 (as amended by the Amendments (defined below), the “Extended Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, the Banks listed on the signature pages thereof, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as Administrative Agent and Initial Issuing Bank, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and PNC Bank, National Association, Royal Bank of Canada, Truist Bank and U.S. Bank National Association, as Co-Documentation Agents, (ii) that certain Amendment No. 1 dated as of November 20, 2023 (“Amendment No.

I, Nathan Howard, General Counsel of the National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation (the “Borrower”), am delivering this opinion at the request of the Borrower pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Amendment No. 23. Terms defined in the Extended Agreement are used herein as therein defined.
I have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials
C-1


and other instruments and have conducted such other investigations of fact and law as I have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion. This opinion is limited to the laws of the District of Columbia.
Upon the basis of the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:
1.    The Borrower is a cooperative association duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the District of Columbia and has the corporate power and authority and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged. The Borrower is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business in which it is engaged makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except in those jurisdictions in which the failure to be so qualified or licensed would not (after qualification, assuming that the Borrower could so qualify without the payment of any fee or penalty and retain its rights as they existed prior to such qualification all to an extent so that any fees or
penalties required to be so paid or any rights not so retained would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business or financial position of the Borrower), individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect upon the business or financial position of the Borrower.
2.    The Borrower has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Amendment No. 23 and each of the Notes dated the date hereof (the “Subject Notes”) and carry out the terms and provisions of the Amendment No.2 3, the Extended Agreement and the Subject Notes. The Amendment No. 23 and the Subject Notes have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower.1
3.    There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or, to my knowledge, threatened against or affecting the Borrower by or before any court or any governmental authority, body or agency or any arbitration board which are reasonably likely to materially adversely affect the business, financial position or results of operations of the Borrower or the authority or ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations under the Extended Agreement or the Subject Notes.
4.    No authorization, consent, approval or license of, or declaration, filing or registration with or exemption by, any governmental authority, body or agency is required in connection with the execution or delivery by the Borrower of the Amendment No.2 3 or the Subject Notes or performance by the Borrower of the Amendment No. 23, the Extended Agreement or the Subject Notes.

1 The opinion with respect to the enforceability of the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement under New York law shall be provided by Borrower’s New York counsel,
Foley & Lardner LLP, subject to customary assumptions, qualifications and limitations.
C-2


5.    The holders of the Borrower’s Members’ Subordinated Certificates are not and will not be entitled to receive any payments with respect to the principal thereof or interest thereon solely because of withdrawing or being expelled from membership in the Borrower.
6.    Neither the Borrower nor any Consolidated Entity is in default in any material respect under any material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it or its property or assets is bound. No event or condition exists which constitutes, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would constitute, such a default under any such agreement or other instrument. Neither the execution and delivery of the Amendment No. 23 or the Subject Notes, nor the consummation of any of the transactions therein contemplated or in the Extended Agreement, nor compliance with the terms and provisions thereof, will contravene any provision of law, statute, rule or regulation to which the Borrower is subject or any judgment, decree, award, franchise, order or permit applicable to the Borrower, or will conflict or be inconsistent with, or will result in any material breach of, any of the material terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute (or with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute) a default under (or condition or event entitling any Person to require, whether by purchase, redemption, acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower to perform any obligations prior to the scheduled maturity thereof), or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the property or assets of the Borrower pursuant to the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or other instrument to which it may be subject, or violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower is not a party to, or otherwise subject to any provision contained in, any instrument evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrower, any agreement or indenture relating thereto or any other contract or agreement (including its certificate of incorporation and by-laws), which would be violated by the incurring of the Indebtedness to be evidenced by the Subject Notes.
7.    The Borrower has complied fully with all of the material provisions of each Indenture. No Event of Default (within the meaning of such term as defined in any Indenture) and no event, act or condition (except for possible non-compliance by the Borrower with any immaterial provisions of such Indenture which in itself is not such an Event of Default under such Indenture) which with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute such an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under such Indenture. The borrowings by the Borrower contemplated by the Extended Agreement will not cause such an Event of Default under, or the violation of any covenant contained in, any Indenture.
