For purposes hereof:
(A) when the Borrower has Issuer Ratings from all three of S&P, Moody’s and
Fitch: (i) if two or three of the three Issuer Ratings are in the same Pricing
Level, such Pricing Level shall apply and (ii) if each of the three Issuer
Ratings are in different Pricing Levels, the Issuer Ratings corresponding to the
highest and the lowest Pricing Levels shall be disregarded and the Pricing Level
shall be determined by reference to the Pricing Level which corresponds to the
remaining Issuer Rating;
(B) when the Borrower has Issuer Ratings from only two of S&P, Moody’s and
Fitch: (i) if both of the two Issuer Ratings are in the same Pricing Level, such
Pricing Level shall apply and (ii) if the two Issuer Ratings are split-rated
(x) by one Pricing Level, the Pricing Level shall be determined by the higher of
the two (e.g., an Issuer Rating of BBB-/Baa2 results in Pricing Level III) or
(y) by more than one Pricing Level, the Pricing Level shall be determined by the
Pricing Level one below the Pricing Level which corresponds to the higher Issuer
Rating (e.g., an Issuer Rating of BBB-/Baa1 results in Pricing Level III and an
Issuer Rating of BBB+/Baa3 results in Pricing Level III);
(C) when the Borrower has an Issuer Rating from only one of S&P, Moody’s and
Fitch: the Pricing Level shall be determined by reference to the Pricing Level
immediately below the Pricing Level which corresponds to the one Issuer Rating

Fitch: Pricing Level V shall apply.
If the Issuer Ratings established or deemed to have been established by S&P,
Moody’s and Fitch shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the

the date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency,
irrespective of when notice of such change shall have been furnished by the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement
or otherwise. Each change in the Applicable Margin shall apply during the period
commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date
immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating
system of S&P, Moody’s or Fitch shall change, or if either such rating agency
shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Lenders) shall
negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating
system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the
effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Margin shall be determined
by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or
cessation.

determined based upon the Commitments most recently in effect, giving effect to
any assignments and to any Lender’s status as a Defaulting Lender at the time of
such determination.

under Sections 3.05 or 3.07 solely in respect of increased costs or taxes
resulting from such exercise and existing at the time of such exercise.

such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000. At the time that each ABR Borrowing

amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000,
provided that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to
the entire unused balance of the total Commitments. Each Swingline Loan shall be
in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than
$1,000,000. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the
same time, provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of

such request by telephone, which may be given by the President of the Borrower,
a Financial Officer or the Hawaiian Electric Cash Manager, (a) in the case of a
Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, three
Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, or (b) in the case of

irrevocable (except as otherwise provided in Section 3.04) and shall be
confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile transmission to the
Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the
Administrative Agent and signed by the President of the Borrower or a Financial
Officer. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the
following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i)    the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(ii)    the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii)    whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar
Borrowing;
(iv)    in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be
applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of
the term “Interest Period”; and
(v)    the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to
be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.04.
If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested
Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with
respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed
to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following
receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the
amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan to be made as part of the requested
Borrowing.
Section 2.04    Funding of Borrowings
(a)    Each Lender shall make each Revolving Loan to be made by it hereunder on
the proposed date thereof solely by wire transfer of immediately available funds
by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent
most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders.
Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.13. Subject to
Section 5.02, the Administrative Agent will make the proceeds of such Loans
available to the Borrower by promptly crediting or otherwise transferring the
amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by
the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request.
(b)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender
prior to the proposed date of any Revolving Loan that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available
on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding
amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the
applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent by 3:00 p.m., New
York City time, for a Eurodollar Borrowing or by 4:00 p.m., New York City time,
for an ABR Borrowing on the applicable day, then such Lender and the Borrower
severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the
date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower
to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the
case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate per annum
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules
on interbank compensation, or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest
rate that would be otherwise applicable to such Borrowing. If such Lender pays
such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such
Lender’s Revolving Loan included in such Borrowing. Such payment by the Borrower
shall be without prejudice to its rights against each Lender who fails to fund
its share of any Borrowing.

approval issued by the PUC, certified by a Financial Officer to be true and
complete, which is final and not subject to review or appeal, that approves the

integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000.
(c)    The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to
terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least

specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following
receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the
contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section

delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the
effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be
revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to
the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any
termination or reduction of the Commitments hereunder shall be permanent but
without prejudice to the rights of the Borrower under paragraph (d) below. Each
reduction of the Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders
in accordance with their respective Commitments.

extension thereof pursuant to Section 2.05(a)), request any one or more of the
Lenders to increase (such decision to be within the sole and absolute discretion
of such Lender) its Revolving Commitment and Letter of Credit Commitment, and/or
any other Eligible Assignee reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
and the Borrower, to provide a new Revolving Commitment and a new Letter of
Credit Commitment, by submitting an Increase Request in the form of Exhibit F
(an “Increase Request”), duly executed by the Borrower and each such Lender or

Increase Request, and (iii) the Borrower shall contemporaneously therewith
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Note or Notes for each such
Eligible Assignee providing a new Revolving Commitment and for such existing
Lender increasing its Revolving Commitment provided, however, that:
(i)    immediately after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments shall not have been increased pursuant to this subsection (d) to an

such amount plus an integral multiple of $1,000,000;
(iii)    the Revolving Commitments shall not be increased on more than three
occasions;
(iv)    the Administrative Agent shall have received documents (including,

Borrower to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase;
(v)    if Loans shall be outstanding immediately after giving effect to such
increase, the Lenders shall, upon the acceptance of the Increase Request by, and
at the direction of, the Administrative Agent, make appropriate adjustments
among themselves so that the amount of Revolving Credit Exposures from any of
the Lenders under this Agreement are allocated among the Lenders according to
their Commitment Percentages after giving effect to the increase in the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments (it being understood and agreed that any
reallocation made pursuant to this clause (v) shall require the Borrower to make
payment pursuant to Section 3.06 with respect to any affected Eurodollar Loans);
(vi)    each such Eligible Assignee shall have delivered to the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower an Administrative Questionnaire and all forms, if any,

and (2) a certificate of a Financial Officer attaching thereto resolutions of
the Board of Directors of the Borrower authorizing any increase of the
Commitments requested by the Borrower.
Section 2.06    Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt
(a)    The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal
amount of each Revolving Loan on the Commitment Termination Date and (ii) to the
Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the
earlier of the Commitment Termination Date and the date that is the 21st
Business Day after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that
a

27

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revolving Loan is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then
outstanding and the proceeds of any such Borrowing shall be applied by the
Administrative Agent to repay any Swingline Loans outstanding.
(b)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an
account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender
resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal
and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record
(i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type and Class thereof and, if
applicable, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any
principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any sum received by
the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each
Lender’s share thereof.
(d)    The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or
(c) of this Section shall, to the extent not inconsistent with any entries made
in any Note, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations recorded therein except for clearly demonstrated error; provided,
that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such
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.
(e)    The Loans of each Lender and interest thereon shall at all times
(including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be evidenced by one or
more Notes payable to such Lender (or its registered assigns).
Section 2.07    Prepayment of Loans
(a)    The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to
prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this
Section.
(b)    In the event of any partial reduction or termination of the Commitments,
then (i) at or prior to the date of such reduction or termination, the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the Aggregate
Credit Exposures after giving effect thereto, and (ii) if such sum would exceed
the Aggregate Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such reduction or
termination, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction or
termination, prepay Revolving Borrowings, and/or cash collateralize the Letter
of Credit Exposure, in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.
(c)    Mandatory Prepayments.
(i)    The Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans, by an amount equal to
the excess, if any, of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans
over the Aggregate Revolving Commitments.
(ii)    Simultaneously with each reduction or termination of the Revolving
Commitments, (1) in the event that the Aggregate Letter of Credit Commitments
shall exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments as so reduced or terminated,
the Aggregate Letter of Credit Commitments shall be automatically reduced,
and/or the Letter of Credit Exposure shall be cash collateralized, by an amount
equal to such excess,

28

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and (2) the Borrower shall prepay the Loans by an amount equal to the excess, if
any, of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans over the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments as so reduced or terminated.
(d)    Simultaneously with each prepayment of a Loan, the Borrower shall, if and
to the extent required by Section 3.01(d), prepay all accrued interest on the
amount prepaid through the date of prepayment.
(e)    The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of
prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone, which may be
given by the President of the Borrower, a Financial Officer or the Hawaiian
Electric Cash Manager (confirmed by facsimile transmission executed by the
President of the Borrower or a Financial Officer) of any prepayment under
Section 2.07(a) (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not
later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of
prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing (other than a
Swingline Loan), not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business
Day of the prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan,
not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day of prepayment.
Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and
the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid;
provided, that if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a
conditional notice of termination of the Commitments contemplated by
Section 2.05(c), then such notice of prepayment may also be conditional and may
be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with
Section 2.05(c). Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a
prepayment of a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of
the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing under
Section 2.07(a) shall, be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less
than $1,000,000. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the
Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by
accrued interest if and to the extent required by Section 3.01.
Section 2.08    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs
(a)    The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder
or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of
amounts payable under Section 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 or 10.03, or otherwise) prior to
3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available
funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on
any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have
been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating
interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at
its office at 10 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois, 60603, or such other
office as to which the Administrative Agent may notify the other parties hereto,
except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender
as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to
Sections 3.03(b) (with respect to the fronting fee and other amounts payable to
the Issuing Bank), 3.03(c), 3.05, 3.06, 3.07, 3.08, 10.03 and 10.04 shall be
made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall
distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person
to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. In the event
the Administrative Agent has not in fact made available to each Lender its share
of the applicable payment within one Business Day of the receipt thereof, then
the Administrative Agent agrees to pay to the applicable Lender forthwith on
demand its share of such payment with interest thereon for each day, from and
including the second Business Day after such payment was received by the
Administrative Agent but excluding the date of payment by the Administrative
Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate per annum

29

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules
on interbank compensation. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that
is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment of accrued interest,
interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments
hereunder shall be made in Dollars.
(b)    If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the
Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal of Loans, interest,
fees and commissions then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first,
towards payment of interest, fees and commissions then due hereunder, ratably
among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest,
fees and commissions then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment
of principal of Loans then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled
thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal of Loans then due to such
parties.
(c)    If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of, or interest on, any of
its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of
the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the
proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater
proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans
of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such
payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate
amount of principal of, and accrued interest on, their respective Loans,
provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any
portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations
shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such
recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not
be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in
accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a
Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any
of its Loans to any assignee or participant. The Borrower consents to the
foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable
law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim
with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct
creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(d)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the applicable Credit Parties hereunder that the
Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that
the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may,
in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to such Credit Parties the amount
due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each
such Credit Party severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Credit Party 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 Administrative Agent, at the
greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate per annum determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation.
(e)    If any Credit Party shall fail to make any payment required to be made by
it pursuant to Section 2.04(b), then the Administrative Agent may, in its
discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts
thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Credit
Party to satisfy such Credit Party’s obligations under such Section until all
such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 2.09    Letter of Credit Sub-Facility
(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing Bank
agrees, in reliance on the agreement of the other Lenders set forth in
Section 2.10, to issue standby or documentary letters of credit (the “Letters of
Credit”; each, individually, a “Letter of Credit”) during the Availability
Period for the account of the Borrower, provided that immediately after the
issuance of each Letter of Credit (i) the Letter of Credit Exposure of each
Lender (whether or not the conditions for drawing under any Letter of Credit
have or may be satisfied) would not exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment,
(ii) the Aggregate Credit Exposure would not exceed the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments and (iii) each Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure would not exceed
such Lender’s Commitment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the letters of credit
identified on Schedule 2.09 (the “Existing Letters of Credit”) shall be deemed
to be “Letters of Credit” issued on the Effective Date for all purposes of the
Loan Documents. Each Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Section shall have
an expiration date which shall be not later than the earlier of (i) three
hundred sixty-four days after the date of issuance thereof and (ii) five
Business Days before the Commitment Termination Date referred to in clause (a)
of the definition thereof, including any extension thereof contemplated by
Section 2.05(a), provided that any Letter of Credit with a three hundred
sixty-four day tenor may provide for the periodic and/or successive renewals or
extensions thereof for additional periods expiring prior to the earlier to occur
of (x) three hundred sixty-four days after the date of such renewal or extension
and (y) date referred to in clause (ii) above. No Letter of Credit shall be
issued if the Administrative Agent, or the Required Lenders by notice to the
Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time one Business Day
prior to the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, shall have
determined that any condition set forth in Section 5.01 or 5.02 has not been
satisfied. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuing Bank
shall have no obligation hereunder to issue, and shall not issue, any Letter of
Credit the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person (i) to fund
any activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any country or
territory that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of any OFAC
Sanctions or (ii) in any manner that would result in a violation of any OFAC
Sanctions by any party to this Agreement.
(b)    Each Letter of Credit shall be issued for the account of the Borrower in
support of an obligation of the Borrower or a Subsidiary in favor of a
beneficiary who has requested the issuance of such Letter of Credit as a
condition to a transaction entered into in connection with the Borrower’s or
such Subsidiary’s ordinary course of business. The Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent a Letter of Credit Request for the issuance of each Letter
of Credit by 2:00 p.m. New York City time, two (2) Business Days prior to the
requested date of issuance. If requested by the Issuing Bank, each Letter of
Credit Request shall be accompanied by the Issuing Bank’s standard application
and agreement for standby or documentary letters of credit, as applicable (each,
a “Reimbursement Agreement”) executed by the President of the Borrower or a
Financial Officer, and shall specify (i) the beneficiary of such Letter of
Credit and the obligations of the Borrower or such Subsidiary in respect of
which such Letter of Credit is to be issued, (ii) the Borrower’s proposal as to
the conditions under which a drawing may be made under such Letter of Credit and
the documentation to be required in respect thereof, (iii) the maximum amount to
be available under such Letter of Credit, and (iv) the requested dates of
issuance and expiration. Upon receipt of such Letter of Credit Request from the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Issuing Bank and
each other Lender thereof. Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank, with such provisions with respect
to the conditions under which a drawing may be made thereunder and the
documentation required in respect of such drawing as the Issuing Bank shall
reasonably require. Each Letter of Credit shall be used solely for the purposes
described therein. The Issuing Bank

31

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

shall, on the proposed date of issuance and subject to the terms and conditions
of the Reimbursement Agreement, if any, and to the other terms and conditions of
this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit.
(c)    Each payment by the Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under a Letter of
Credit shall give rise to an obligation on the part of the Borrower to reimburse
the Issuing Bank by 3:00 P.M. New York City time two Business Days after the
date of such payment together with interest on the amount of such payment from
the date such payment was made by the Issuing Bank; provided that, if the amount
of the draft drawn under such Letter of Credit is not less than $1,000,000, the
Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request
in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.13 that such payment be financed with an
ABR Loan in an equivalent amount of such draft drawn under such Letter of Credit
and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment
shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Loan.
Section 2.10    Letter of Credit Participation and Funding Commitments
(a)    Each Lender hereby unconditionally, irrevocably and severally (and not
jointly) for itself only and without any notice to or the taking of any action
by such Lender, takes an undivided participating interest in the obligations of
the Issuing Bank under and in connection with each Letter of Credit in an amount
equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of
Credit. Each Lender shall be liable to the Issuing Bank for its Commitment
Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any draft drawn and honored under each
Letter of Credit. Each Lender shall also be liable for an amount equal to the
product of its Commitment Percentage and any amounts paid by the Borrower that
are subsequently rescinded or avoided, or must otherwise be restored or
returned. Such liabilities shall be unconditional and without regard to the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or the compliance by the Borrower
with any of its obligations under the Loan Documents.
(b)    The Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the
Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender (which
notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing) of the date and the amount of any
draft presented under any Letter of Credit with respect to which full
reimbursement of payment is not made by the Borrower as provided in
Section 2.09(c), and forthwith upon receipt of such notice, such Lender (other
than the Issuing Bank in its capacity as a Lender) shall make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank its Commitment
Percentage of the amount of such unreimbursed draft at the office of the
Administrative Agent specified in Section 10.01, in lawful money of the United
States and in immediately available funds, before 4:00 p.m., New York City time,
on the day such notice was given by the Administrative Agent, if the relevant
notice was given by the Administrative Agent at or prior to 1:00 p.m., New York
City time, on such day, and before 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the next
Business Day, if the relevant notice was given by the Administrative Agent after
1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day. The Administrative Agent shall
distribute the payments made by each Lender (other than the Issuing Bank in its
capacity as a Lender) pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence to the
Issuing Bank promptly upon receipt thereof in like funds as received. In the
event the Administrative Agent has not in fact made available to the Issuing
Bank such payment within one Business Day of the receipt thereof, then the
Administrative Agent agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank forthwith on demand such
payment with interest thereon for each day, from and including the second
Business Day after such payment was received by the Administrative Agent but
excluding the date of payment by the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the
Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Lender
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the

32

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Issuing Bank from and against any and all losses, liabilities (including
liabilities for penalties), actions, suits, judgments, demands, costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses
of counsel to the Issuing Bank as the issuer of the relevant Letter of Credit)
resulting from any failure on the part of such Lender to provide, or from any
delay in providing, the Administrative Agent with such Lender’s Commitment
Percentage of the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under a Letter
of Credit in accordance with this subsection (b) (except in respect of losses,
liabilities or other obligations suffered by the Issuing Bank resulting from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank). If a Lender does
not make available to the Administrative Agent when due such Lender’s Commitment
Percentage of any unreimbursed payment made by the Issuing Bank under a Letter
of Credit (other than payments made by the Issuing Bank by reason of its gross
negligence or willful misconduct), such Lender shall be required to pay interest
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank on such Lender’s
Commitment Percentage of such payment at a rate of interest per annum equal to
the Federal Funds Rate for the first three days after the due date of such
payment until the date such payment is received by the Administrative Agent and
the Federal Funds Rate plus 2% thereafter.
(c)    Whenever the Administrative Agent is reimbursed by the Borrower, for the
account of the Issuing Bank, for any payment under a Letter of Credit and such
payment relates to an amount previously paid by a Lender in respect of its
Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment under such Letter of Credit,
the Administrative Agent (or the Issuing Bank, to the extent that the
Administrative Agent has paid the same to the Issuing Bank) will pay over such
payment to such Lender before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day such
payment from the Borrower is received, if such payment is received at or prior
to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day, or before 12:00 noon, New York
City time, on the next succeeding Business Day, if such payment from the
Borrower is received after 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day.
Section 2.11    Absolute Obligation With Respect to Letter of Credit Payments;
Cash Collateral; Replacement of Issuing Bank
(a)    The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Issuing Bank in respect of a Letter of Credit for each payment
under or in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be absolute and unconditional
under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or
defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the
beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank, as issuer of such Letter of Credit, any Lender or any other Person,
including, without limitation, (i) any defense based on the failure of any
drawing to conform to the terms of such Letter of Credit, (ii) any drawing
document proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect, (iii) the
legality, validity, regularity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit or
this Agreement, (iv) any payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit
against presentment of a draft or other document that does not comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit or (v) any other event or circumstance that
might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable
discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations
hereunder; provided, that, with respect to any Letter of Credit, the foregoing
shall not relieve the Issuing Bank of any liability it may have to the Borrower
for any actual damages sustained by the Borrower arising from a wrongful payment
under such Letter of Credit made as a result of the Issuing Bank’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
(b)    If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Borrower shall
within one Business Day from the time it receives a demand therefor from the
Administrative Agent

33

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

pursuant to Article 8, deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, for
the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to one hundred percent
(100%) of the Aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure as of such date. Such deposit
shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and
performance of the Reimbursement Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall
have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of
withdrawal, over such account. The Administrative Agent shall invest such
deposits in Permitted Investments and interest or profits on such investments
shall accumulate in such account. The moneys in such account shall
(i) automatically be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the
Issuing Bank for Reimbursement Obligations, and (ii) be held for the
satisfaction of the Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower.
(c)    (A) The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement
among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the
successor Issuing Bank, it being understood and agreed that such parties shall
not unreasonably delay or withhold their consent to any such agreement. The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the
Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the
Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced
Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.03(b). From and after the effective date of
any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights
and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters
of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term
“Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous
Issuing Bank, or to such successor 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.
(B) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, the
Issuing Bank may resign as the Issuing Bank at any time upon thirty days’ prior
written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in
which case, the Issuing Bank shall be replaced in accordance with Section
2.11(c)(A) above.
Section 2.12    Defaulting Lenders
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so
long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a)    fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of
such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.03(a);
(b)    the Commitments and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not
be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have
taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment,
modification or waiver pursuant to Section 10.02); provided that, except as
otherwise provided in Section 10.02, (i) any waiver, amendment or modification
requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such
Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the
consent of such Defaulting Lender and (ii) any amendment or modification that
increases, or extends the maturity of, such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment or
reduces the principal amount of, or rate of interest on, any Loan made by such
Defaulting Lender, shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

34

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c)    if any Swingline Exposure or Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time
a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i)    all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and such Letter of Credit
Exposure (other than the portion of such Swingline Exposure referred to in
clause (b) in the definition of such term) shall be reallocated among the
non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable
Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’
Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and Letter of
Credit Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’
Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 are satisfied at
such time;
(ii)    if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only
partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within two (2) Business Days
following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Defaulting
Lender’s Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting
Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial
reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set
forth in Section 2.11(b) for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is
outstanding;
(iii)    if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting
Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.12(c), the
Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender
pursuant to Section 3.03(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of
Credit Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit
Exposure is cash collateralized;
(iv)    if the Letter of Credit Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is
reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.12(c), then the fees payable to the
Lenders pursuant to Sections 3.03(a) and 3.03(b) shall be adjusted in accordance
with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; or
(v)    if any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither cash
collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.12(c), then, without
prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder,
all letter of credit fees payable under Section 3.03(b) with respect to such
Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing
Bank until such Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized and/or
reallocated; and
(d)    if and so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender
shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not
be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is
satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of
the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the
Borrower in accordance with Section 2.12(c), and participating interests in any
such newly made Swingline Loan or newly issued or increased Letter of Credit
shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with
Section 2.12(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).
In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Swingline Lender
and the Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately
remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the
Swingline Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure of the Lenders shall be
readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitments and on

35

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the
other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in
order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its
Applicable Percentage, and all cash collateral and accrued interest thereon held
by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank shall be returned to the
Borrower forthwith.
Section 2.13    Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein, the Swingline Lender may in its sole discretion make Swingline
Loans in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability
Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not
result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans
exceeding $20,000,000, (ii) the Swingline Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure
exceeding its Commitment or (iii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit
Exposures exceeding the Aggregate Revolving Commitments; provided that the
Swingline Lender shall not 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)    To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative
Agent of such request by telephone, which notification may be given by the
President of the Borrower, a Financial Officer or the Hawaiian Electric Cash
Manager, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed
Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the
requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested
Swingline Loan and shall be confirmed promptly by facsimile transmission to the
Administrative Agent signed by the President of the Borrower or a Financial
Officer. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of
any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each
Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to an account of
the Borrower with the Administrative Agent designated for such purpose (or, in
the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of a Letter of
Credit Disbursement as provided in Section 2.09(c), by remittance to the Issuing
Bank) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline
Loan.
(c)    The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative
Agent require the Lenders to acquire participations in all or a portion of the
Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of
Swingline Loans in which Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such
notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender,
specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline
Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees,
promptly upon receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent (and in any
event, if such notice is received by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a
Business Day, no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Business Day
and if received after 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a Business Day, no
later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately succeeding
Business Day), to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or
Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and
unconditional 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. Each Lender shall
comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately
available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04 with respect to
Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.04 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to
the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall
promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the

36

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any
participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and
thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the
Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by
the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the
Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the 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 Lenders that
shall have made their payments pursuant to this 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 be replaced at any time by written agreement
among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Swingline Lender and
the successor Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the
Lenders of any such replacement of the Swingline Lender. At the time any such
replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid interest
accrued for the account of the replaced Swingline Lender pursuant to
Section 3.01(a). From and after the effective date of any such replacement,
(i) the successor Swingline Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of
the replaced Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline
Loans made thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Swingline Lender”
shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swingline Lender,
or to such successor and all previous Swingline Lenders, as the context shall
require. After the replacement of a Swingline Lender hereunder, the replaced
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 its replacement, but shall not be
required to make additional Swingline Loans.
(e)    Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Swingline
Lender, the Swingline Lender may resign as a Swingline Lender at any time upon
thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower
and the Lenders, in which case, such Swingline Lender shall be replaced in
accordance with Section 2.13(d) above.
Section 2.14. Extension of Commitment Termination Date.
(a)    Requests for Extension. The Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative
Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) not earlier than 90 days and not
later than 30 days prior to each anniversary of the date of this Agreement (each
such anniversary date, an “Extension Date”), request that each Lender extend
such Lender’s Commitment Termination Date to the date that is one year after the
Commitment Termination Date then in effect for such Lender (the “Existing
Commitment Termination Date”).
(b)    Lender Elections to Extend. Each Lender, acting in its sole and
individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not
later than the date that is 15 days after the date on which the Administrative
Agent received the Borrower’s extension request (the “Lender Notice Date”),
advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such
extension (each Lender that determines to so extend its Commitment Termination
Date, an “Extending Lender”). Each Lender that determines not to so extend its
Commitment Termination Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any
event no later than the Lender Notice Date), and

37

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the
Lender Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of
any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so
agree, and it is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation
whatsoever to agree to any request made by the Borrower for extension of the
Commitment Termination Date.
(c)    Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrower of each Lender’s determination under this Section no later
than the date that is 15 days prior to the applicable Extension Date (or, if
such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day).
(d)    Additional Commitment Lenders. The Borrower shall have the right, but
shall not be obligated, on or before the applicable Commitment Termination Date
for any Non-Extending Lender to replace such Non-Extending Lender with, and add
as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more financial
institutions that each qualify as an Eligible Assignee (each, an “Additional
Commitment Lender”) approved by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the
procedures provided in Section 3.08(b), each of which Additional Commitment
Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Acceptance (in accordance with
and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04, with the Borrower or
replacement Lender obligated to pay any applicable processing or recordation
fee) with such Non-Extending Lender, pursuant to which such Additional
Commitment Lenders shall, effective on or before the applicable Commitment
Termination Date for such Non-Extending Lender, assume a Commitment (and, if any
such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment shall be
in addition to such Lender’s Commitment hereunder on such date). The
Administrative Agent may effect such amendments to this Agreement as are
reasonably necessary to provide for any such extensions with the consent of the
Borrower but without the consent of any other Lenders.
(e)    Minimum Extension Requirement. If (and only if) the total of the
Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed to extend their Commitment
Termination Date and the new or increased Commitments of any Additional
Commitment Lenders is more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments
in effect immediately prior to the applicable Extension Date, then, effective as
of the applicable Extension Date, the Commitment Termination Date of each
Extending Lender and of each Additional Commitment Lender shall be extended to
the date that is one year after the Existing Commitment Termination Date (except
that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Commitment Termination Date as so
extended shall be the next preceding Business Day) and each Additional
Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this
Agreement and shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Lender
hereunder and shall have the obligations of a Lender hereunder.
(f)    Conditions to Effectiveness of Extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(x) no more than two (2) extensions of the Commitment Termination Date shall be
permitted hereunder and (y) any extension of any Commitment Termination Date
pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not be effective with respect to any
Extending Lender unless:
(i)    no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the applicable
Extension Date and immediately after giving effect thereto;
(ii)    the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in Article
4 of this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of
the applicable Extension Date and after giving effect thereto, except to the
extent such representations

38

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and warranties relate to any earlier date, in which case such representations
and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and
as of such earlier date; and
(iii)    the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate from the
Borrower signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower (A) certifying the
accuracy of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), (B) certifying and attaching the
resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such extension
and (C) attaching a copy of an order or approval issued by the PUC, certified to
be true and complete, which is final and not subject to review or appeal, that
approves the extension.
(g)    Commitment Termination Date for Non-Extending Lenders. On the Commitment
Termination Date of each Non-Extending Lender, (i) the Commitment of each
Non-Extending Lender shall automatically terminate and (ii) the Borrower shall
repay such Non-Extending Lender in accordance with Section 2.06 (and shall pay
to such Non-Extending Lender all of the other obligations owing to it under this
Agreement) and after giving effect thereto shall prepay any Revolving Loans
outstanding on such date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to
Section 3.06) to the extent necessary to keep outstanding Revolving Loans
ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages of the respective Lenders
effective as of such date, and the Administrative Agent shall administer any
necessary reallocation of the Revolving Credit Exposures (without regard to any
minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and/or pro rata payment requirements
contained elsewhere in this Agreement).
(h)    Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in
Section 2.08 or Section 10.02 to the contrary.
ARTICLE 3.
INTEREST, FEES, YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

Section 3.01    Interest
(a)    ABR Loans (including each Swingline Loan) and unpaid Reimbursement
Obligations shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable
Margin.
(b)    Eurodollar Borrowings shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for
the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of and interest on any
Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any fee or other amount payable by the
Borrower hereunder is not paid when due and after the expiration of any
applicable grace period, then all such amounts shall bear interest, after as
well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of
principal of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, 2% plus the rate otherwise
applicable to such Loan or Reimbursement Obligation as provided in the preceding
paragraphs of this Section, or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the
Alternate Base Rate.
(d)    Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date for such Loan, provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant
to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event
of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal
amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or
prepayment (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan before the end of the
Availability Period), and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar
Loan prior to the

39

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall
be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(e)    All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of
360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate
at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in
each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the
first day but excluding the last day) in the period in question. The applicable
Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and
such determination shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable error.
Section 3.02    Interest Elections
(a)    Any Borrowing on the Effective Date shall be of ABR Loans. Thereafter,
each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable
Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an
initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the
Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue
such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest
Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect
different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing,
in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably (subject to the
provisions of Section 2.12) among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such
Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a
separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which
may not be converted or continued.
(b)    To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify
the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone, which may be made by the
President of the Borrower, a Financial Officer or by the Hawaiian Electric Cash
Manager, by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under
Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting
from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such
telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable, except as otherwise
provided in Section 3.04, and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or
facsimile transmission to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest
Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by
the President of the Borrower or a Financial Officer.
(c)    Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the
following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i)    the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if
different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof,
the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case
the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) of this
paragraph shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(ii)    the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest
Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii)    whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a
Eurodollar Borrowing; and

40

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iv)    if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest
Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which
shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does
not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(d)    Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such
Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e)    If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request prior
to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such
Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, such
Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the
Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding
Borrowing may be converted to or continued beyond the current Interest Period as
a Eurodollar Borrowing, and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall
be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable
thereto.
Section 3.03    Fees
(a)    The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
each Lender, a commitment fee, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to
the Applicable Margin on the average daily amount of the unused Revolving
Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the date on which
this Agreement shall have become effective in accordance with Section 10.06 to
but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates. For
purposes of calculating the commitment fee, Swingline Exposure shall not be
considered usage of the Revolving Commitment of any Lender. Accrued commitment
fees shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of January, April,
July and October of each year and on the Commitment Termination Date, commencing
on the first such date to occur after the date hereof.
(b)    The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
each Lender a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) with respect to each Letter of
Credit, payable quarterly in arrears during the period from and including the
date of issuance thereof to and including the expiration or cancellation date
thereof (a) on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October
of each year, (b) upon such expiration or cancellation date and (c) on the
Commitment Termination Date, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin
on Eurodollar Borrowings on the average daily amount of the Letter of Credit
Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed
Reimbursement Obligations). The Borrower also agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank
for its own account a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per
annum on the average daily amount of the Letter of Credit Exposure (excluding
any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed Reimbursement Obligations)
attributable to Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank during the period
from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of
termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any
Letter of Credit Exposure, payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business
Day of January, April, July and October of each year, as well as the Issuing
Bank’s standard fees and commissions with respect to the issuance, amendment,
cancellation, negotiation, transfer, presentment, renewal or extension of any
Letter of Credit or processing of

41

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

drawings thereunder. The Letter of Credit Fee and the fronting fees described
above shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed (including the
first day but excluding the last day) during the period in question on the basis
of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable.
(c)    The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own
account, fees and other amounts payable in the amounts and at the times
separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
(d)    All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or
366 days, as applicable, and shall be payable for the actual number of days
elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) during the period
in question.
(e)    All fees and other amounts payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates
due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for
distribution, in the case of commitment fees, to the Lenders. Fees and other
amounts paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances other than clearly
demonstrable error.
Section 3.04    Alternate Rate of Interest
If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:
(a)    the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
conclusive and binding absent clearly demonstrable error) that adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the
LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or
(b)    the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the
Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period
will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or
maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the
Lenders by telephone or facsimile transmission as promptly as practicable
thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the
Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist,
(i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing
to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be
ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing,
such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if the Borrower shall have submitted a Borrowing Request with respect to a
Eurodollar Borrowing and the Administrative Agent shall have notified the
Borrower in accordance with the preceding sentence that such Borrowing will be
made as an ABR Borrowing, the Borrower shall have the right, prior to the time
by which it would have had to submit a Borrowing Request for an ABR Borrowing to
be made on the same date, to withdraw such Borrowing Request.
Section 3.05    Increased Costs; Illegality
(a)    If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity
or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance
charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account
of, or credit extended

42

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

by, any Credit Party (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the
Adjusted LIBO Rate);
(ii)    impose on any Credit Party or the London interbank market any other
condition affecting this Agreement, any Eurodollar Loans made by such Credit
Party or any participation therein; or
(iii)    subject the Administrative Agent or any Credit Party to any Taxes
(other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan
principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its
deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the
Administrative Agent or such Credit Party of making, continuing, converting into
or maintaining any Loan hereunder (or of maintaining its obligation to make any
such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the
Administrative Agent or such Credit Party hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will, upon request by the
Administrative Agent or such Credit Party, pay to the Administrative Agent or
such Credit Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the
Administrative Agent or such Credit Party for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered.
(b)    If any Credit Party 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 Credit Party’s capital or on the capital of such Credit Party’s
holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by
such Credit Party to a level below that which such Credit Party or such Credit
Party’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking
into consideration such Credit Party’s policies and the policies of such Credit
Party’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then
from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Credit Party such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Credit Party or such Credit Party’s
holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)    A certificate of a Credit Party setting forth the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Credit Party or its holding company, as applicable,
as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section including reasonably
detailed supporting information shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be
binding on the Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error, it being understood
that the Borrower’s obligations payable to any Credit Party pursuant to this
clause (c) will be reasonably determined by such Credit Party (which
determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious
basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of such Credit Party
under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 3.05 after
consideration of such factors as such Credit Party then reasonably determines to
be relevant). The Borrower shall pay such Credit Party the amount shown as due
on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof unless the Borrower
is asserting in good faith that there is clearly demonstrable error in such
certificate.
(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Credit Party to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Credit Party’s
right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be
required to compensate a Credit Party pursuant to this Section for any increased
costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such
Credit Party notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Credit Party’s intention to claim
compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise
to such increased costs or reductions is

43

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

retroactive, then the 90 day period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof but not to exceed a period of
365 days.
(e)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the date
of this Agreement, any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to
make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as
contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice
to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:
(i)    such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for
the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be
continued for additional Interest Periods and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for
such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans), whereupon any request for a
Eurodollar Borrowing or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or
to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing, as applicable, for an additional Interest
Period shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a
request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to
convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as applicable), unless such
declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and
(ii)    such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it
be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be
automatically converted to ABR Loans, as of the effective date of such notice as
provided in the last sentence of this paragraph.
In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) of this
paragraph, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have
been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such
Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied
to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the
conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans, as applicable. For purposes of this
paragraph, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each
Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest
Period currently applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such
notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.
Section 3.06    Break Funding Payments
In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment (voluntary or otherwise) of any
principal of any Eurodollar 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 Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure to borrow, convert,
continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice
delivered pursuant hereto then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate
each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the
case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be
deemed to include an amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be the
excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the
principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO
Rate 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, for the period that
would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of
interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the
interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of
such period, for Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other
banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any
amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this
Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be binding on the Borrower
absent clearly demonstrable error. The Borrower shall pay such

44

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after
receipt thereof unless there is clearly demonstrable error in any such
certificate.
Section 3.07    Taxes
(a)    Except as required by applicable law, any and all payments by or on
account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder and under any other Loan
Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes,
provided that, if the Withholding Agent is required by applicable law (as
determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable Withholding Agent) to
deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then the applicable Withholding
Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely
pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then
the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after
such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and
withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the
applicable Credit Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)    In addition (but without duplication) the Borrower shall pay any Other
Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c)    The Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party, within 30 days after
written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by
such Credit Party on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any
obligation of the Borrower under the Loan Documents (including Indemnified Taxes
imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section)
and, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Credit
Party, any penalties, interest and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the
Borrower by a Credit Party, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or
on behalf of a Credit Party, including, if available, reasonably detailed
supporting information, shall be delivered to and be binding on the Borrower
absent clearly demonstrable error. If any Credit Party receives a refund in
respect of any Indemnified Taxes for which such Credit Party has received
payment from the Borrower hereunder, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of
such refund and shall promptly upon receipt repay such refund to the Borrower,
net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Credit Party and without interest
(other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority, if
applicable); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Credit Party,
agrees to return such refund (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such
Credit Party in the event such Credit Party is required to repay such refund.
Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit the Borrower from contesting or
seeking a refund of any Indemnified Taxes after payment thereof has been made in
accordance with this Section and each Credit Party shall take such steps as the
Borrower shall reasonably request to assist the Borrower in contesting or
seeking a refund of any Indemnified Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this paragraph (c), in no event will any Credit Party be required to
pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (c) the payment of
which would place such Credit Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position
than such Credit Party 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 Section shall not be construed to require any
Credit Party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information
relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to either the Borrower or any
other Person.

45

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by the
Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by
such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return
reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent.
(e)    Each Credit Party shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent,
within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable
to such Credit Party (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already
indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without
limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable
to such Credit Party’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(g)
relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded
Taxes attributable to such Credit Party, in each case, that are payable or paid
by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to any Credit Party by the Administrative Agent shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. Each Credit Party hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing
to such Credit Party under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the
Administrative Agent to the Credit Party from any other source against any
amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
(f)    (i) Any Credit Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction
of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly
completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding
or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Credit Party, if
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver
such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Credit Party 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 3.07(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be
required if in the Credit Party’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution
or submission would subject such Credit Party to any material unreimbursed cost
or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of
such Credit Party.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A) any Credit Party that is a “United States” Person under the Code shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on
which such Credit Party becomes a Credit Party under this Agreement (and from
time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), an executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Credit
Party is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies
as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such
Foreign Lender becomes a Credit Party under this

46

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1) in the case of a Foreign 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 Loan Document, an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or 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 Loan Document, IRS
Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction

income” article of such tax treaty;
(2) an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate
substantially to the effect that such Foreign 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) an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS
Form W-8BEN-E; or
(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an executed IRS
Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form
W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other
certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that
if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect
partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption,
such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of
each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies
as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such
Foreign Lender becomes a Credit Party under this Agreement (and from time to
time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis
for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax, duly
completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed
by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to
determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if a payment made to a Credit Party under any Loan Document would be subject
to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Credit Party 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
Credit Party shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the
time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by
applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code)
and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such
Credit Party has complied with such Credit Party’s obligations under FATCA or to
determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such

47

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any
amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Credit Party agrees that if any form or certification it previously
delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall
update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g)    For purposes of this Section 3.07, the terms “Lender” and “Credit Party”
both include the Issuing Bank.
Section 3.08    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders
(a)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.05, or if the
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.07,
then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending
office for funding or booking its Loans (or any participation therein) hereunder
or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices,
branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to
Section 3.05 or 3.07, as applicable, in the future, and (ii) would not subject
such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment.
(b)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.05, or if the
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.07,
or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender has failed to
consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that under
Section 10.02 requires the consent of all the Lenders and with respect to which
the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then the Borrower may, at
its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender, the Issuing Bank, the
Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign,
and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement and each other Loan Document to an Eligible
Assignee that shall assume such obligations; provided that (i) the Borrower
shall have received the prior written consents of the Issuing Bank, the
Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent, which consents shall not
unreasonably be delayed or withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued
interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder,
from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 3.05 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.07, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and
(iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from the failure to provide a
consent, the assignee shall have given such consent and, as a result of such
assignment and any contemporaneous assignments and consents, the applicable
amendment, waiver, discharge or termination can be effected. A Lender shall not
be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a
result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the
Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

comply, in all material respects, with all applicable laws, rules, regulations

ARTICLE 9.
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 9.01    Appointment
Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its
agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf
and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the
terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The provisions of this Article 9 are solely for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including the Swingline Lender and the
Issuing Bank), and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party
beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use
of the term “agent” as used herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any
similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to
connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under
agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of
market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative
relationship between independent contracting parties.

63

rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such
Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally
engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other
Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
Section 9.03    Exculpatory Provisions
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those
expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other
implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing,
(b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary
action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and
powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative
Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of the Credit Parties as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section 10.02), and (c) except as expressly set
forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and
shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the
Borrower, or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the
Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken
by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of the Credit Parties as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) or in the absence of its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final nonappealable judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed
not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is
given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Credit Party (and,
promptly after its receipt of any such notice, it shall give each Credit Party
and the Borrower notice thereof), and the Administrative 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 any Loan 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, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness hereof or thereof or any other agreement,
instrument or other document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth
in Article 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items
expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent, or its counsel.
Section 9.04    Reliance by Administrative Agent
The Administrative 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 believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent
also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed
by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for
relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who
may be internal or external 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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 9.05    Performance of Duties
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its
rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the
Administrative Agent, provided that no such delegation shall serve as a release
of the Administrative Agent or waiver by the Borrower of any rights hereunder.
The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its
duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related
Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to
any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and
any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection
with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as
activities as Administrative Agent.
Section 9.06    Resignation; Successors
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as
provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by
notifying the Credit Parties and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the
Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to
appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after
the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the
retiring Administrative Agent shall, in consultation with the Borrower, on
behalf of the Credit Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which
shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any
such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with
all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative
Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor
Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor
unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and
Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring
Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in
respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was
acting as Administrative Agent.
Section 9.07    Non-Reliance by Credit Parties
Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made
hereunder are commercial loans and letters of credit and not investments in a
business enterprise or securities. Each Credit Party further represents that it
is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary
course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent, any arranger of the credit facilities evidenced by this
Agreement or any other Credit Party or their respective 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 as a Credit Party,
and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Credit Party shall,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any arranger
of the credit facilities evidenced by this Agreement or any amendment thereof or
any other Credit Party and their respective Related Parties and based on such
documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information
within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower
and its Affiliates) 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 related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or
thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as
a lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations
hereunder.

limited to particular notices or communications.

67

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (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), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an
Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by

identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i)
and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during

be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day
for the recipient.
(c)    Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices
and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.
(d)    Electronic Systems.
(i)    The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be
obligated to, make Communications (as defined below) available to the Issuing
Bank and the other Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain,
Intralinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or a substantially similar Electronic System.
(ii)    Any Electronic System used by the Administrative Agent is provided
“as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant
the adequacy of such Electronic Systems and expressly disclaim liability for
errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express,
implied or statutory, including, without limitation, 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 any
Agent Party in connection with the Communications or any Electronic System. In
no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties
(collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any
Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind,
including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or
consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or
otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s
transmission of Communications through an Electronic System. “Communications”
means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or
other material provided by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to any Loan
Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank by means of electronic
communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Electronic System.
Section 10.02    Waivers; Amendments
(a)    No failure or delay by any Credit Party in exercising any right or power
under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights
and remedies of the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents are cumulative and
are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No
waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by the
Borrower therefrom shall in

68

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of
this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a
waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Credit Party may have had
notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b)    Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or
modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into
by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders, provided that no
such agreement shall:
(i)    increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such
Lender,
(ii)    reduce the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligations, or
reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than the imposition of additional
interest under Section 3.01(c)), or reduce any fees or other amounts payable
under the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender directly
affected thereby,
(iii)    postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any
Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees or other amounts payable under the
Loan Documents, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or
postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written
consent of each Credit Party directly affected thereby,
(iv)    change any provision hereof in a manner that would alter the pro rata
sharing of payments required by any Loan Document, without the written consent
of each Credit Party, or
(v)    change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of
“Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or
percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or
make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written
consent of each Lender,
and provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise
affect the rights or duties of (A) the Administrative Agent hereunder without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, (B) the Issuing Bank
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Issuing Bank and (C) the
Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Swingline
Lender (it being understood that any change to Section 2.12 shall require the
consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver
or other modification of this Agreement shall be required of any Defaulting
Lender, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification
referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first proviso of this paragraph
and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be directly affected by
such amendment, waiver or other modification.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and any other Loan Document
may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the
Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (x) to add one or
more credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit extensions of credit from
time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect
thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other

69

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Loan Documents with the Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect
thereof and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit
facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and Lenders.
(d)    If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent
requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender directly affected
thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of
other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is
necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting
Lender”), then the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a
Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such
replacement, (i) an Eligible Assignee shall agree, as of such date, to purchase
for cash the Loans and other obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender
pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance and to become a Lender for all purposes
under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender
to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of
clause (b) of Section 10.04, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such
Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all
interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting
Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination,
including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under
Sections 3.05 and 3.07, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which
would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under
Section 3.06 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such
date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein the Administrative Agent
may, with the consent of the Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission,
mistake, defect or inconsistency.
Section 10.03    Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver
(a)    The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers, including the reasonable and
duly documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the
Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication and distribution
(including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as
Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and
administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of
the provisions of any Loan Document (whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Credit Party, including the reasonable
fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the Administrative Agent
and a single counsel for the other Credit Parties, in connection with the
enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents,
including its rights under this Section, or in connection with and during any
workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Loans and the Letters
of Credit.
(b)    The Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party and each Related Party
thereof (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 the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of
any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or
delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby
or thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their
respective obligations hereunder and thereunder or the consummation of the
Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any
Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof,

70

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or
from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries,
or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of the
Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation
or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not such claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower or its equity
holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other third Person and whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a
party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be
available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
related expenses (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by
final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of (or a breach in bad faith by such Indemnitee of its
express obligations under any Loan Document) such Indemnitee, (B) arise out of a
claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnitee for a breach which is
finally determined by a final and nonappealable judgment to have constituted a
bad faith breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations under this Agreement or
(C) relate to Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or
damages arising from any non-Tax claim.
(c)    To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be
paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender
under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay
to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the
case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (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 applicable, was incurred by or
asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline
Lender in its capacity as such.
(d)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto agrees that
it will not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee or the
Borrower, as the case may be, (i) for any damages arising from the use by others
of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications,
electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet)
(except, in the case of a claim against an Indemnitee, to the extent of direct
or actual damages as are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by
final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnitee) or (ii) 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, any Loan
Document or any agreement, instrument or other document contemplated hereby or
thereby, the Transactions or any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof;
provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Borrower’s
indemnification obligations to Indemnitees in respect of claims made by third
parties as set forth in Section 10.03(b).
(e)    All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly, but in any
event no later than 30 days, after written demand therefor, accompanied by
proper supporting documentation, and without prejudice to the Borrower’s right
to contest the amount or the validity of any claim for payment.
Section 10.04    Successors and Assigns
(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 Credit Party (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower
without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or

71

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties
hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the
extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each Credit Party)
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of any Loan
Document.
(b)    Each Lender may, and, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, if demanded by the Borrower pursuant to 3.08(b) upon at least five
Business Days’ notice to such Lender, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and
the Administrative Agent will, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a
portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its
Commitments, the Loans (including, for the purposes of this Section 10.04(b),
participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans) owing to it and the
Note held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a
uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and
in respect of any or all facilities (determined as of the date the Assignment
and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and
Acceptance, as of the Trade Date), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a
Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of
any Lender or an Approved Fund of any Lender or an assignment of all of a
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of
the Commitments being assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such
assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with
respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 (or such
lesser amount as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and, unless a
Default has occurred and is continuing under Section 8(a), Section 8(h) or
Section 8(i) or unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Borrower (provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any
such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the
Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice
thereof)), (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
proportionate part of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement with respect to the Class of Loans or the Commitments assigned,
(iv) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to
such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or an Approved Fund of
any Lender, such assignment shall be approved, so long as no Default has
occurred and is continuing under Section 8(a), Section 8(h) or Section 8(i) and
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of effectiveness
of such assignment, by the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), (v) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee,
(vi) each assignment must be approved (such approvals not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) by the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the
Issuing Bank unless the Person that is proposed is itself a Lender (whether or
not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee),
(vii) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant
to this Section 10.04(b) shall be arranged by the Borrower after consultation
with the Administrative Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the
rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or an
assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with
another such assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the
rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement, (viii) no
Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by
the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.04(b) unless and until such Lender
shall have received one or more payments from the Borrower or one or more
Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Borrowing owing to such Lender, together
with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount
and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, and (ix) the
parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent, for its acceptance and

72

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

recording in the Register, (x) an Assignment and Acceptance or (y) to the extent
applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference
pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to
the Assignment and Acceptance are participants, together with any Note subject
to such assignment and (except in the case of any such assignment by a Lender to
an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such Lender) a processing and recordation fee
of $3,500; provided, however, that for each such assignment made as a result of
a demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.08, the Borrower or such assignee
shall pay to the Administrative Agent the applicable processing and recordation
fee.
(c)    Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after
the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, hereunder and (ii) the Lender or the Issuing Bank assignor
thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been
assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights
(other than its rights under Sections 3.05, 3.07 and 10.03 to the extent any
claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be
released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning
Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Lender or the Issuing Bank shall cease to be a party hereto).
(d)    By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Credit
Party assignor thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with
each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as follows: (i) other than
as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Credit Party makes
no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any
statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan
Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security
interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any
Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto;
(ii) such assigning Credit Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes
no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the
performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under any
Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto;
(iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement,
together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.04 and
such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance;
(iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent, any arranger of the credit facilities evidenced by this
Agreement, such assigning Credit Party or any other Credit Party and their
respective Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms
that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes each
Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise
such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to
Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers
and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee
agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the
obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by
it as a Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be.

73

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(e)    The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary
agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in
Section 10.01 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted
by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Credit Parties and their Commitments under each facility of, and principal
amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing under each facility to, each
Credit Party from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent clearly demonstrable
error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties
may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Credit Party
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available
for inspection by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or any other Credit
Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(f)    Upon its receipt of (x) an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an
assigning Credit Party and an assignee or (y) to the extent applicable, an
agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to a
Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment
and Acceptance are participants, together with any Note or Notes subject to such
assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance
has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto,
(i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained
therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. In
the case of any assignment by a Lender, within five Business Days after its
receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note a new
Note to such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by
it under each facility pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if any
assigning Lender has retained a Commitment hereunder under such facility, a new
Note to such assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by
it hereunder. Such new Note shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to
the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note, shall be dated the
effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in
substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto.
(g)    Each Credit Party may sell participations to one or more Persons (other
than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in or to all
or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Loans (including
such Lender’s participations in Reimbursement Obligations and Swingline Loans)
owing to it and the Note (if any) held by it); provided, however, that (i) such
Credit Party’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation,
its Commitments) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Credit Party shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations, (iii) such Credit Party shall remain the holder of any such Note
for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
and the other Credit Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with
such Credit Party in connection with such Credit Party’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement and (v) no participant under any such participation shall
have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan
Document, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, except to
the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of,
or interest on, the Borrowings or Notes or any fees or other amounts payable
hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, postpone
any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Borrowings
or Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the
extent subject to such participation. The Borrower agrees that each participant
shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 and 10.03 to the
same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. Each Lender that sells a
participation agrees, at the

74

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Borrower's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the
Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.08(b) with respect to any
Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided
such participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.08(c) and Section 10.12 as
though it were a Lender. A participant shall not be entitled to receive any
greater payment under Section 3.05 or 3.07 than the applicable Lender would have
been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such
participant. Each Credit Party 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 Loans or
other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”);
provided that no Credit Party 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 Loan 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 Credit Party 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 Administrative Agent (in its
capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a
Participant Register.
(h)    Any Credit Party may, in connection with any assignment or participation
or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.04, disclose
to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any
information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Credit Party by or on
behalf of the Borrower; provided, however, that, prior to any such disclosure,
the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree in
writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential Information received
by it from such Credit Party in accordance with Section 10.12 to the same extent
as if it were a Credit Party.
(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may
at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its
rights under the Loan Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, including
any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and
this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security
interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest
shall release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
Section 10.05    Survival
All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower
herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in
connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall
be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall
survive the execution and delivery of any Loan Document and the making of any
Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its
behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or
knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any
credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as
long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any
other amount payable under the Loan Documents is outstanding and unpaid and so
long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of
Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 and 10.03 and Article 9 shall survive and remain in
full force

75

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and effect regardless of the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the
Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
Section 10.06    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto
on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all
of which, when taken together, shall constitute a single contract. This
Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the
Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank constitute the entire contract among the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter
hereof. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date, and
thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart
of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission, e-mailed.pdf or
any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed
signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart
of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and
words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection
with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to
include Electronic Signatures, deliveries 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, physical delivery thereof or
the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent
and as provided for in any applicable law, 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.
Section 10.07    Severability
In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in
and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction).
The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of
which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions.
Section 10.08    Right of Setoff
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each of the
Lenders and their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and
from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to setoff
and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by it to or
for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the
obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held
by it, irrespective of whether or not it shall have made any demand under this
Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each of
the Lenders and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition
to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that it may
have.
Section 10.09    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process
(a)    This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflict of
laws.

76

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)    The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself
and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the
State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and of the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of
Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be
heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a
final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the
Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party may otherwise have to bring any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
against the Borrower, or any of its property, in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c)    The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the
fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may
now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any
court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court.
(d)    Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process
in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement
will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any
other manner permitted by law.
Section 10.10    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY
OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT,
TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY
OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK
TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER
PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
Section 10.11    Headings
Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for
convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not
affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this
Agreement.

77

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 10.12    Confidentiality
Each of the Credit Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the
Information (as defined below) and not to use Information in violation of law,
except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’
directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel
and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure
is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and
instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required by
any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party
to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder
or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement
of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or
Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement, provided that each such Person
agrees to maintain the confidentiality of such information on the terms set
forth in this Section, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent
such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a
breach of this Section or, (ii) becomes available to such Credit Party on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower and without breach
of this Agreement; provided, however, that, unless prohibited by applicable law,
a Credit Party will provide prior notice to the Borrower of such Credit Party’s
intention to disclose Information pursuant to clause (c) above or to disclose
Information pursuant to clause (e) above in connection with any suit, action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder.
For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received
from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, including, without
limitation, information received from the Borrower or any of its Related Parties
pursuant to Section 6.01(f), 6.02 and 6.06 of this Agreement, other than any
such information that is available to any Credit Party on a nonconfidential
basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower and other than information pertaining
to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers,
including league table providers, that serve the lending industry. Any Person
required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this
Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if
such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own
confidential information.
EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN THE IMMEDIATELY
PRECEDING PARAGRAPH FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE
MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES
OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE
PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL
HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES
AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE
BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF
ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY
CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED
PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO
THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS
ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT
MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE
PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

78

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 10.13    Interest Rate Limitation
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest
rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts
that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the
“charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “maximum rate”) that may
be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding
such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in
respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all of the charges payable in
respect thereof, shall be limited to the maximum rate and, to the extent lawful,
the interest and the charges that would have been payable in respect of such
Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be
cumulated, and the interest and the charges payable to such Lender in respect of
other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the maximum rate
therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the
Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such
Lender.
Section 10.14    No Third Parties Benefited
This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal
benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall
be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect
cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Bank nor any
Lender shall have any obligation to any Person not a party to this Agreement or
other Loan Documents.
Section 10.15    USA PATRIOT Act Notice
Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower
that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L.
107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (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 the Administrative Agent and such Lender to identify the
Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.
Section 10.16    No Fiduciary Duty
The Administrative Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely
for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lender Parties”), may have economic
interests that conflict with those of the Borrower, its stockholders and/or its
affiliates. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise
will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or
fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender Party, on the one hand, and
the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and
thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lender Parties,
on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, and (ii) in connection
therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender Party has assumed
an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower, its
stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the
process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender Party has advised,
is currently advising or will advise the Borrower, its stockholders or its
Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the
obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender Party
is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower,
its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. The Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower has consulted its own legal and
financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and

79

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to
such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees that it
will not claim that any Lender Party has rendered advisory services of any
nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in
connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto and, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, hereby waives and releases any claims that it
may have against any Lender Party with respect to any breach or alleged breach
of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction
contemplated hereby.
Section 10.17    Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In Action.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other
agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party
hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising
under any Loan Document may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers
of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and
agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA
Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be
payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if
applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or
other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent
entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred
on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted
by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the
exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution
Authority.

SCHEDULE 7.03

HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY, INC.
EXISTING RESTRICTIONS

Pursuant to Section 7.03 of the Credit Agreement, the following restrictions and
conditions exist on June 30, 2017:

1.
Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (“Hawaiian Electric”), Maui Electric Company,
Ltd. (“Maui Electric”) and Hawaii Electric Light Company, Inc. (“Hawaii Electric
Light”) are subject to restrictive covenants in connection with the offer and
sale in March 2004 of Cumulative Quarterly Income Preferred Securities, as
disclosed in the Registration Statements on Form S-3, Regis. Nos. 333-111073,
333-111073-01, 333-111073-02 and 333-111073-03 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which descriptions are incorporated herein by
reference.

2.
Hawaiian Electric, Maui Electric and Hawaii Electric Light are subject to
restrictive covenants in connection with their cumulative preferred stock
financings to the effect that, until dividends have been paid or declared or set
apart for payment on all shares of the respective company’s cumulative preferred
stock, (a) no distributions on the respective company’s common stock or any
future class of stock except cumulative preferred stock shall be made and
(b) the respective company shall not purchase or otherwise acquire any of the
respective company’s common stock or any future class of stock except cumulative
preferred stock. In the event of liquidation, dissolution, receivership,
bankruptcy, disincorporation or winding up of the affairs of the respective
company, cumulative preferred stockholders are entitled to the par value of
their shares and accrued and unpaid dividends, before any distribution is made
to holders of the respective company’s common stock or any future class of stock
except cumulative preferred stock.

3.
Hawaiian Electric is subject to restrictive covenants in connection with its
cumulative preferred stock financings to the effect that, as long as any shares
of the respective series of cumulative preferred stock are outstanding, Hawaiian
Electric shall not affect the merger or consolidation of Hawaiian Electric, or
sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all of the property and assets of
Hawaiian Electric without first obtaining the consent in writing of the holders
of at least 75% of each of the respective outstanding series of cumulative
preferred stock, provided that said consent shall not be required to make a
mortgage, pledge, assignment or transfer of all or any part of its assets as
security for any obligation or liability of any kind or nature.

4. Hawaiian Electric, Maui Electric and Hawaii Electric Light are subject to
restrictive covenants in connection with their special purpose revenue bonds
which contain provisions to the effect that Hawaiian Electric, Maui Electric and
Hawaii Electric Light shall not dissolve or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all its assets, and will not

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

consolidate with or merge into another entity or permit other entities to
consolidate with or merge into it, unless certain specific requirements are met.

5.
Hawaiian Electric, Maui Electric and Hawaii Electric Light are subject to
restrictive covenants in connection with their note purchase agreements dated as
of April 19, 2012, October 3, 2013 and October 15, 2015 and Hawaiian Electric’s
note purchase agreements dated as of September 13, 2012 and December 15, 2016
(together the “Note Agreements”), pursuant to which several series of unsecured
notes were issued in private placements. The Note Agreements contain affirmative
and negative restrictions, including a negative covenant that Hawaiian Electric
will not permit the ratio of any Significant Subsidiaries’ Consolidated
Subsidiary Funded Debt to its Capitalization exceed a specified level, and this
restriction could operate indirectly to restrict the ability of Significant
Subsidiaries to make Restricted Payments (as defined in Section 1.01 of the
Credit Agreement) to Hawaiian Electric. Hawaiian Electric also entered into
three similar note purchase agreements of the same April 19, 2012, October 3,
2013 and October 15, 2015 dates under which it is a “Guarantor” of Maui Electric
(in three such agreements) and a Guarantor of Hawaii Electric Light (in three
other such agreements). Each of these agreements contains similar negative
covenants relating to Maui Electric and Hawaii Electric Light (as well as
Hawaiian Electric) relating to their respective Consolidated Subsidiary Funded
Debt to Capitalization ratios and those of their respective Significant
Subsidiaries. The affirmative and negative restrictions are disclosed in the
Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 23, 2012, September 14,
2012, October 7, 2013, October 16, 2015 and December 19, 2016, which
descriptions are incorporated herein by reference.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent,
and the Lenders referred to in the
Credit Agreement (as defined below)
10 South Dearborn Street
Chicago, IL 60603

Re:
Legal opinion letter regarding Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. Second Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 30, 2017

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc., a Hawaii
corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the negotiation, execution and
delivery of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June
30, 2017 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto
(collectively, the “Lenders” and each, a “Lender”), the agents party thereto,
and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., a national banking association, as Administrative
Agent (the “Administrative Agent”). Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings given such terms in the
Credit Agreement. This opinion is rendered to you pursuant to Section 5.01(c)(i)
of the Credit Agreement.
In preparing this letter, we have reviewed the following documents:
1.the Credit Agreement; and
2.the Notes dated the date hereof.
The documents described in (1) - (2) above are individually referred to as a
“Document” and collectively as the “Documents.”
Subject to the assumptions, qualifications and other limitations set forth
below, it is our opinion that:
1.    The Credit Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement of
the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. Each
Note issued on the date hereof by the Borrower will, upon disbursement of the
loan evidenced by such Note, constitute a valid and legally binding obligation
of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.The execution and delivery by the Company of the Documents, and the
performance by the Company of its obligations under the Documents, do not and
will not (a) violate any order, decision, judgment or decree listed on Annex 1
hereto that is applicable to the Company or any of its properties (and which are
those orders, decisions, judgments and decrees that the Company has asked us to
review in connection with this letter), or (b) violate the Covered Law (as
defined below).
3.Under the Covered Law, no Governmental Approval or Governmental Registration
is required to have been obtained or made by the Company for the valid execution
and delivery by it of the Documents, to borrow money under the Credit Agreement,
and to perform its obligations under the Documents, except, in each case, for
actions or filings required in connection with the ordinary course conduct by
the Borrower of its business and ownership or operation by the Borrower of its
assets.
4.The Company is not required to be registered as an “investment company” within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
In rendering our opinions, we have (a) without independent verification, relied,
with respect to factual matters, statements and conclusions, on certificates,
notifications and statements, whether written or oral, of governmental officials
and individuals identified to us as officers and representatives of the Company
and on the representations made by the Company in the Documents and (b) reviewed
originals, or copies of such agreements, documents and records as we have
considered relevant and necessary as a basis for our opinions. We note that, as
counsel to the Company, we do not represent it generally and there may be facts
relating to the Company of which we have no knowledge.
We have assumed (a) as to factual matters, the accuracy and completeness of all
certificates, agreements, documents, records and other materials submitted to
us; (b) the authenticity of original certificates, agreements, documents,
records and other materials submitted to us; (c) the conformity with the
originals of any copies submitted to us; (d) the genuineness of all signatures;
(e) the legal capacity of all natural persons; (f) that each Document
constitutes the valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement of the parties
thereto under all applicable law (other than, in the case of the Company, the
Covered Law of the State); (g) that the Company (i) is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the law of its jurisdiction of organization,
(ii) has the power to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under,
the Documents (iii) has duly taken or caused to be taken all necessary action to
authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of such Documents and
(iv) has duly executed and delivered such Documents; (h) that the execution and
delivery by the Company of, and the performance by the Company of its
obligations under, the Documents to which it is a party do not and will not (i)
breach or violate (A) its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, (B) any agreement
or instrument to which the Company or any of its affiliates is a party or by
which the Company or any of its affiliates or any of their respective properties
may be bound, (C) any authorization, consent, approval or license (or the like)
of, or exemption (or the like) from, any governmental unit, agency, commission,
department or other authority granted to or otherwise applicable to the Company
or any of its affiliates or any of their respective properties (each a
“Governmental Approval”), (D) any registration or filing (or the like) with, or
report or notice (or the like) to, any governmental

-2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

unit, agency, commission, department or other authority made by or otherwise
applicable to the Company or any of its affiliates or any of their respective
properties (each a “Governmental Registration”), (E) any order, decision,
judgment or decree that may be applicable to the Company or any of its
affiliates or any of their respective properties (other than the orders,
decisions, judgments and decrees that are the subject of our opinion expressed
in clause (c) or our opinion in paragraph 2(a)), (F) any law (other than the
Covered Law), or (ii) require any Governmental Approval or any Governmental
Registration (other than the Governmental Approvals and Governmental
Registrations that are the subject of our opinion expressed in paragraph 3; (j)
that there are no agreements, understandings or negotiations between the parties
not set forth in the Documents that would modify the terms thereof or the rights
and obligations of the parties thereunder; and (k) for purposes of our opinion
in paragraph 1 as it relates to the choice-of-law provisions in the Documents,
that the choice of law of the State as the governing law of the Documents would
not result in a violation of an important public policy of another state or
country having greater contacts with the transactions contemplated by the
agreement than the State (as defined below).
Our opinions are subject to and limited by the effect of (a) applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer,
receivership, conservatorship, arrangement, moratorium and other similar laws
affecting and relating to the rights of creditors generally; (b) general
equitable principles; (c) requirements of reasonableness, good faith, fair
dealing and materiality; (d) Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code regarding
restrictions on assignment or transfer of rights or the creation, attachment,
perfection or enforcement of security interests; and (e) additionally in the
case of (i) indemnities, a requirement that facts, known to the indemnitee but
not the indemnitor, in existence at the time the indemnity becomes effective

FORM OF OPINION LETTER OF SUSAN A. LI, ESQ., SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, GENERAL
COUNSEL, CHIEF COMPLIANCE & ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER & CORPORATE SECRETARY OF THE
BORROWER
[ATTACHED]

B-2-1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

slheader.jpg [slheader.jpg]June 30, 2017
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent,
and the Lenders referred to in the
Credit Agreement (as defined below)
10 South Dearborn Street
Chicago, IL 60603

Re: Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am the Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance &
Administrative Officer & Corporate Secretary of Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc.,
a Hawaii corporation (the “Borrower”), and, as such, I have acted as in-house
counsel to the Borrower in connection with the Second Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement dated as of June 30, 2017 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the
Borrower, the lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders” and each, a
“Lender”), the agents party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., a national
banking association, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”).
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
respective meanings given such terms in the Credit Agreement. This opinion is
rendered to you pursuant to Section 5.01(c)(ii) of the Credit Agreement.
In connection with this opinion, I have examined originals or copies of the
following documents:
(i) the Credit Agreement;
(ii) the Notes;
(iii) the Amended Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Borrower’s
Charter”) of the Borrower, as filed with the Director of Commerce and Consumer
Affairs for the State of Hawaii;
(iv) the Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Borrower (the “Borrower’s By-Laws”;
and, together with the Borrower’s Charter, the “Governing Documents”);
(v) the Certificate of the Secretary of the Borrower, as of the date hereof (the
“Secretary’s Certificate”), as to certain actions taken by the Board of
Directors of the Borrower on November 2, 2011 as to the titles, incumbency, and
specimen signatures of certain officers of the Borrower; and
(vi) a Certificate of Good Standing issued by the Director of the Department of
Commerce and Consumer Affairs of the State of Hawaii.slfootera02.jpg
[slfootera02.jpg]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The documents specified in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above are referred to
herein, collectively, as the “Loan Documents”. In rendering this opinion, I have
obtained such certificates and other information from public and government
officials and from officers and employees of the Borrower, and have also
examined such documents and corporate and other records as I have considered
necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.
Based on the foregoing and subject to the other qualifications, assumptions and
limitations stated herein and as limited thereby, and after examination of such
matters of law as I have deemed relevant, I am of the opinion that:
1.    The Borrower has been duly incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of
Hawaii and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws
of the State of Hawaii. To my knowledge, the Borrower does not itself conduct
any business or own or lease any property in any jurisdiction outside the State
of Hawaii that would require it to qualify to do business as a foreign
corporation and where the failure to be so qualified would reasonably be
expected to result in a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
position of the Borrower.
2.    The Borrower has the corporate power and authority to carry on its
business as now conducted.
3.    The execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Loan Documents, and the
performance by the Borrower of its obligations under the Loan Documents, are
within the Borrower’s corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all
requisite corporate action on the part of the Borrower. The Borrower has duly
executed and delivered each of the Loan Documents.
4.    Each of the Loan Documents constitutes a valid and binding agreement of
the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its respective
terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights, by general equitable principles (regardless of whether
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and by an implied covenant of
reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.
5.    The execution and delivery by the Borrower of each of the Loan Documents
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and compliance by
the Borrower with the provisions thereof (i) will not conflict with or result in
a breach or default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or
acceleration) under any of the provisions of the Borrower’s Governing Documents
or any indenture or other material agreement or other material instrument
binding upon the Borrower, except for such conflict, breach or default as to
which requisite waivers or consents have been obtained, (ii) will not violate
any law, statute, rule or regulation, or any judgment, order, writ, injunction
or decree of any court or other tribunal, applicable to the Borrower or any of
its properties or assets which in my experience, without having made any special
investigations as to the applicability of any specific law, rule or regulation,
are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Loan
Documents, and (iii) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien
on any asset of the Borrower. No consent or approval by, or any notification of
or filing with, any court, public body or authority is required to be obtained
or effected by the Borrower in connection with the execution, delivery and
performance by the Borrower of its obligations under each of the Loan Documents
or the consummation by the Borrower of the transactions contemplated thereby,
except for the requisite approval of the Public

slfootera03.jpg [slfootera03.jpg]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Utilities Commission of the State of Hawaii referred to in Section 2.05 of the
Credit Agreement in order to extend the term of the Credit Agreement to more
than 364 days.
6.    To my knowledge, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending against,
the Borrower or any of its assets before any court or arbitrator or any
governmental body, agency or official which would reasonably be expected to have
a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the
Borrower, except for any actions, suits or proceedings referred to in the
Current SEC Reports, or which in any manner draws into question the validity of
the Loan Documents.
7.    The Company is not required to be registered as an “investment company”
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
The foregoing opinions are subject to the following qualifications:
(a)     I am a member of the Bar of the State of Hawaii and I do not hold myself
out as an expert on the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Hawaii
and the federal laws of the United States. This opinion is limited in all
respects to matters governed by the laws of the State of Hawaii and the federal
laws of the United States of America. I express no opinion concerning compliance
with the laws or regulations of any other jurisdiction or jurisdictions, or as
to the validity, meaning or effect of any act or document under the laws of any
other jurisdiction or jurisdictions. My opinion with regard to the validity,
binding nature and enforceability of each of the Loan Documents is based upon
the assumptions that the laws of the State of New York govern the Loan Documents
and that the laws of the State of Hawaii are the same in all relevant respects
as the laws of the State of New York, and I give no opinion with respect to the
enforceability of the Loan Documents to the extent that the laws of the State of
New York differ from the laws of the State of Hawaii.
(b)     I have relied as to matters of fact upon representations and warranties
of the Borrower in the Loan Documents and upon certificates and representations
of officers and employees of the Borrower and upon certificates of public and
government officials as to matters set forth therein. My opinion in paragraph 1
as to the good standing of the Borrower is based solely on the Certificate of
Good Standing of the Borrower attached to the Secretary’s Certificate.
(c)     I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than the
signatures of the officers of the Borrower), the authenticity of all documents
submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of all
documents submitted to me as certified or photostatic copies (and the
authenticity of the originals of such documents), the accuracy and completeness
of all corporate records (which includes stock ownership records) made available
to me by Borrower and the capacity of each party executing a document (other
than Borrower) to so execute such document.
(d)     My opinion is subject to the qualification that enforcement of any
waiver and release or limitation of liability provisions in any of the Loan
Documents may be limited to the extent such provisions are contrary to public
policy or principles of equity under Hawaii jurisprudence, but such policy and
equitable limitations do not, in my opinion, render the Loan Documents invalid
as a whole or preclude the judicial enforcement of the obligation of the
Borrower to repay the principal, together with interest thereon (to the extent
not deemed a penalty) as provided in the Loan Documents.

slfootera04.jpg [slfootera04.jpg]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(e)     The remedies of specific performance, injunction and other forms of
equitable relief may not be available as to the provisions contained in any of
the Loan Documents to the extent they are subject to equitable defenses and the
discretion of the court before which the proceedings therefor may be brought.
(f)     I express no opinion as to the validity, binding effect or
enforceability of any provision of any of the Loan Documents (i) which requires
further agreement by the parties or expressly or impliedly permits any party to
take discretionary action which is arbitrary, unreasonable or capricious, or
would violate any implied covenant of good faith or would be commercially
unreasonable, whether or not such action is permitted according to the specific
terms of any of the Loan Documents, or (ii) regarding remedies available to any
party for violations or breaches which are determined by a court to be
nonmaterial or without substantial adverse effect upon the ability of the
obligor to perform its material obligations thereunder.
(g)     My opinion is subject to the qualification that any requirement in any
of the Loan Documents specifying that provisions thereof may only be waived in
writing may not be binding or enforceable to the extent that a non-executory
oral agreement has been created modifying any provision in the Loan Documents or
an implied agreement by trade practice or course of conduct has been created
allowing a waiver.
(h)     I express no opinion as to the validity, binding effect or
enforceability of provisions specifying certain remedies or that rights or
remedies are not exclusive, that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be
exercised in addition to any other right or remedy, and/or that the election of
a particular remedy does not preclude recourse to one or more others.
(i)     My opinion is subject to (i) limitations on the legality, validity,
binding effect or enforceability of provisions which a court may find
unconscionable, and (ii) limitations on the legality, validity, binding effect
or enforceability of agreements to indemnify, defend or hold harmless when the
event giving rise to the obligations thereunder are caused, in whole or in part,
by the actions, omissions, or negligence of the indemnitee thereunder or when
the enforcement of any such agreements is against public policy.
(j)     Whenever an opinion expressed herein is qualified by the phrase “to my
knowledge,” “known to me,” or “nothing has come to my attention” or other phrase
of similar import, such phrase is intended to mean the actual knowledge of
information by the lawyers in my law department who have been principally
involved in drafting the Loan Documents, but does not include other information
that might be revealed if there were to be undertaken a canvass of all lawyers
in the Borrower’s law department, a general search of all files or any other
type of independent investigation.
This opinion is based on the laws and regulations as in effect on the date
hereof and facts as I understand them as of the date hereof. I am not assuming
any obligation, and do not undertake, to revise, update or supplement this
opinion after the date hereof notwithstanding any change in applicable law or
regulation or interpretation thereof, any amendment, supplement, modification or
rescission of any document examined or relied on in connection herewith, or any
change in the facts, after the date hereof.
You may rely upon this opinion only for the purpose served by the provision in
the Credit Agreement cited in the initial paragraph of this opinion letter in
response to which it has been delivered. Without my written consent: (i) no
Person other than you may rely on this opinion letter for any purpose; (ii) this

slfootera05.jpg [slfootera05.jpg]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

opinion letter may not be cited or quoted in any financial statement,
prospectus, private placement memorandum or other similar document; (iii) this
opinion letter may not be cited or quoted in any other document or communication
which might encourage reliance upon this opinion letter by any Person or for any
purpose excluded by the restrictions in this paragraph; and (iv) copies of this
opinion letter may not be furnished to anyone for purposes of encouraging such
reliance. At your request, I hereby consent to reliance hereon by any future
assignee of your interest in the loans under the Credit Agreement pursuant to an
assignment that is made and consented to in accordance with the express
provisions of Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement, on the condition and the
understanding that (i) any such reliance by a future assignee must be actual and
reasonable under the circumstances, (ii) I have no responsibility or obligation
to consider the applicability or correctness of this letter to any person or
entity other than its named addressee or addressees or at any time other than as
of the date hereof, and (iii) any such assignee may rely on this letter to no
greater extent than you may as of the date hereof but any such assignee also is
subject to any changes or developments up to the time it acquires its interest,
that may adversely affect the opinions and matters referred to in this letter.
Very truly yours,

Chief Compliance & Administrative Officer

The date and amount of each type of Loan made by the Lender to the Borrower
under the Credit Agreement, and each payment of principal thereof, shall be
recorded by the Lender on its books and endorsed by the Lender on Schedule I
attached hereto or any continuation thereof; and in the absence of clearly
demonstrated error, such Schedule shall constitute prima facie evidence thereof.
No failure on the part of the Lender to make, or mistake by the Lender in

Loan or the rights or obligations of the Lender or the Borrower with respect
thereto.
This Note evidences the Loan(s) made by the Lender and referred to in the Second
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June [__], 2017 (as amended,

an Assignment and Acceptance effecting the assignment or transfer of the
obligations evidenced hereby shall have been accepted by the Administrative
Agent and recorded in the Register as provided in the Credit Agreement, the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to deem and treat the
