This Twelfth Amendment to Credit and Security Agreement (herein, the “Amendment”) is entered into as of September 23, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), among Martin Marietta Funding LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., a North Carolina corporation, as initial Servicer (the “Servicer”), each commercial paper conduit and financial institution from time to time a party to the Credit and Security Agreement (as defined below) as lenders (the “Lenders”), and Truist Bank, successor by merger to SunTrust Bank (“Truist”), a North Carolina banking corporation, in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the “Administrative Agent”).

Whereas, the Borrower, the Servicer, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent entered into a certain Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of April 19, 2013 (the Credit and Security Agreement, as the same has been amended prior to the date hereof, being referred to herein as the “Credit and Security Agreement”).  All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings herein as such terms have in the Credit and Security Agreement;

Whereas, the Borrower and the Servicer have requested that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to amend the Credit and Security Agreement and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are willing to do so under the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment;

Now, Therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2 below, the Credit and Security Agreement shall be amended as follows:

1.1.         Section 1.7 of the Credit and Security Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety and as so amended and restated shall read as follows:

Section 1.7.          Suspension of the Eurodollar Rate.  (a) If any Lender hereunder determines that (i) funding any of its Loans at the Eurodollar Rate would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive of any governmental or regulatory authority, whether or not having the force of law, (ii) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund its Loan at such Eurodollar Rate are not available or (iii) such Eurodollar Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of acquiring or maintaining such Loan, then, with prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, such Lender may suspend the availability of the Eurodollar Rate, and such Lender’s Principal shall thereafter accrue Interest at the rate that is one‑half of one percent (0.50%) above the Federal Funds Rate.  Any conversion of any outstanding Loan bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate which is required under this Section 1.7(a) shall be effected immediately.

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the Eurodollar Rate with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such proposed amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of the Eurodollar Rate with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to these provisions will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(c)          In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(d)          The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 1.7(b)-(e), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 1.7(b)-(e).

(e)          Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Loan that bears interest at a rate determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, conversion to or continuation of Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Loan of, or conversion to a Loan, that accrues Interest at the rate that is one‑half of one percent (0.50%) above the Federal Funds Rate. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component of Alternate Base Rate based upon the Eurodollar Rate will not be used in any determination of Alternate Base Rate.

“Benchmark Replacement” means the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate (which may include Term SOFR) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest as a replacement to the Eurodollar Rate for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; provided that, if the Benchmark Replacement as so determined would be less than 0.0%, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be 0.0% for the purposes of this Agreement.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Alternate Base Rate,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters) that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines, in consultation with the Borrower, may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent determines is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement).

(b)          (i) the election by the Administrative Agent or (ii) the election by the Required Lenders to declare that an Early Opt-in Election has occurred and the provision, as applicable, by the Administrative Agent of written notice of such election to the Borrower and the Lenders or by the Required Lenders of written notice of such election to the Administrative Agent.
