THIRD AMENDMENT AGREEMENT

 

THIRD AMENDMENT AGREEMENT dated as of May 7, 2018 (this “Third Amendment”) to
the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 30, 2016 (as
amended by the First Amendment, dated as of January 24, 2017, the Second
Amendment, dated as of March 21, 2018, and as further amended, restated, amended
and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time and
immediately prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date (as defined below) (the
“Credit Agreement” and as amended by this Third Amendment, the “Amended Credit
Agreement”), among, inter alia, NRG Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Borrower”), the Lenders from time to time parties thereto and Citicorp North
America, Inc., as administrative agent (in such capacity and together with its
successors, the “Administrative Agent”) and as collateral agent (in such
capacity and together with its successors, the “Collateral Agent”).

 

A.            Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meanings assigned to such terms in the Amended Credit Agreement.

 

B.            The Borrower has requested that the Tranche A Revolving Lenders
consent to (i) extend the final maturity date of the Tranche A Revolving Loans
and Tranche A Revolving Commitments to June 30, 2021 and (ii) make certain other
changes to the Loan Documents as are necessary or appropriate in connection with
such extension, as more fully set forth herein, in each case, pursuant to a
Permitted Amendment in accordance with Section 9.19(a) of the Credit Agreement.

 

C.            Each Tranche A Revolving Lender that executes and delivers a
signature page to this Amendment on or prior to the Third Amendment Effective
Date (as defined below) (the “Accepting Lenders”) will be deemed to have
irrevocably agreed to the terms of this Third Amendment and the Amended Credit
Agreement, subject to the conditions to effectiveness set forth herein.

 

D.            The amendments to the Credit Agreement set forth below are subject
to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to effectiveness referred to
herein and shall become effective as provided herein.

 

Accordingly, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and
other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1.  Amendments to Credit Agreement.

 

(i) Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended or, as the case may
be, amended and restated by:

 

(A)  adding thereto the following new defined terms in proper alphabetical
order:

 

“Earlier Tranche A Revolving Lenders” shall mean, collectively, The Royal Bank
of Scotland plc and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.

 

“Third Amendment” shall mean the Third Amendment Agreement, dated as of May 7,
2018, among the Borrower, each Subsidiary Guarantor, the Administrative Agent,
the Collateral Agent and the Tranche A Revolving Lenders party thereto.

 

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

 

“Third Amendment Effective Date” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in
the Third Amendment.

 

“Tranche A Accepting Lender” shall mean Bank of America, N.A.

 

(B)  amending and restating the following defined terms therein in their
entirety as follows:

 

“Class”, when used in reference to any Loan or Borrowing, shall refer to whether
such Loan, or the Loans comprising such Borrowing, are Tranche A Revolving
Loans, Tranche B Revolving Loans, New Revolving Loans, Refinancing Revolving
Loans, Term Loans, New Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans or Swingline Loans,
and, when used in reference to any Commitment, shall refer to whether such
Commitment is a Tranche A Revolving Commitment, Tranche B Revolving Commitment,
New Revolving Commitment, Refinancing Revolving Commitment, Term Commitment, New
Term Commitment, Refinancing Term Commitment or Swingline Commitment.  For the
avoidance of doubt, any Loans or Commitments created pursuant to a Permitted
Amendment shall constitute a separate Class; provided, however, that until the
Earlier Tranche A Revolving Facility Maturity Date, all of the Tranche A
Revolving Loans and Tranche A Revolving Commitments will constitute the same
Class and will be treated as a single Class for all purposes hereunder (except
with respect to any reduction in the Revolving Commitments made pursuant to
Section 2.09(c)(ii), which reduction may be made giving effect to the earlier
maturity date of the Tranche A Revolving Commitments of the Earlier Tranche A
Revolving Lenders as though such Tranche A Revolving Commitments were a separate
Class from the Tranche A Revolving Commitments of the Tranche A Accepting
Lender).

 

“Tranche A Revolving Facility Maturity Date” means (i) with respect to each
Earlier Tranche A Revolving Lender, July 1, 2018 (the “Earlier Tranche A
Revolving Facility Maturity Date”) and (ii) with respect to the Tranche A
Accepting Lender, June 30, 2021.  As used herein, the term “Tranche A Revolving
Facility Maturity Date” shall mean, from and after the Third Amendment Effective
Date, the applicable Tranche A Revolving Facility Maturity Date of any
applicable Tranche A Revolving Lender.

 

(ii) Section 2.22(e) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated as
follows:

 

“Participations.  The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the
Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any
Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such
Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding.  Such
notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving
Lenders will participate.  The Administrative Agent will, promptly upon receipt
of such notice, give notice to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice
such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans.  In
furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and
unconditionally

 

2

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

 

agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata
Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans; provided that, from the Closing Date
until the Tranche A Revolving Facility Maturity Date, participations in
Swingline Loans shall be allocated in accordance with the aggregate Revolving
Commitments (including both the Tranche A Revolving Commitments and the Tranche
B Revolving Commitments); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing,
participations in any Swingline Loans that are made on or after the date that is
15 days prior to the Earlier Tranche A Revolving Facility Maturity Date shall be
allocated to the Tranche A Accepting Lender and the Tranche B Revolving Lenders
ratably in accordance with their respective Tranche A Revolving Commitments and
Tranche B Revolving Commitments.  On the Earlier Tranche A Revolving Facility
Maturity Date, the obligations of the Earlier Tranche A Revolving Lenders in
respect any outstanding Swingline Loans shall be terminated and reallocated to
the Tranche A Accepting Lender and the Tranche B Revolving Lenders ratably in
accordance with their respective Tranche A Revolving Commitments and Tranche B
Revolving Commitments; provided that after giving effect to such reallocation
the Aggregate Revolving Exposures of the Tranche A Revolving Lenders and the
Tranche B Revolving Lenders at such time does not exceed the sum of the
remaining Tranche A Revolving Commitments and Tranche B Revolving Commitments
and the Tranche A Accepting Lender’s Revolving Exposure does not exceed its
Tranche A Revolving Commitments and each Tranche B Revolving Lender’s Revolving
Exposure does not exceed its Tranche B Revolving Commitment.  If the
reallocation described in the preceding sentence cannot, or can only partially,
be effected as a result of the limitations herein, the Borrower shall within one
Business Day of notice thereof from the Swingline Lender or the Administrative
Agent repay Swingline Loans the participation interests in which cannot be
reallocated to the Tranche A Accepting Lender and the Tranche B Revolving
Lenders pursuant to the prior sentence.  Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and
agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant
to this Section 2.22(e) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected
by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a
Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without
any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.  Each Revolving
Lender shall comply with its obligation under this Section 2.22(e) by wire
transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in
Section 2.02(c) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and
Section 2.02(c) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the
Lenders under this Section) and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to
the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders.  The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any
Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this Section 2.22(e) 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

 

3

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

 

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 Section 2.22(e) and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests
may appear.  The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this
Section 2.22(e) shall not relieve the Borrower (or other party liable for
obligations of the Borrower) of any default in the payment thereof.”

 

(iii) Section 2.23(d)(ii) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated
as follows:

 

“On the Closing Date, the participations in any issued and outstanding Letters
of Credit shall be reallocated so that after giving effect thereto, the Tranche
A Revolving Lenders and the Tranche B Revolving Lenders shall share ratably in
such participations in accordance with the aggregate Revolving Commitments.
Thereafter, until the Earlier Tranche A Revolving Facility Maturity Date,
participations in any newly issued Letters of Credit shall be allocated in
accordance with the aggregate Revolving Commitments; provided that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, participations in any newly issued Letters of
Credit that have an expiry date after the date that is five Business Days prior
to the Earlier Tranche A Revolving Facility Maturity Date shall be allocated to
the Tranche A Accepting Lender and the Tranche B Revolving Lenders ratably in
accordance with their Tranche A Revolving Commitments and Tranche B Revolving
Commitments but only to the extent that such allocation would not cause (x) the
Aggregate Revolving Exposures of the Tranche A Accepting Lender and the Tranche
B Revolving Lenders at such time to exceed the sum of the remaining Tranche A
Revolving Commitments and Tranche B Revolving Commitments, respectively, (y) the
Tranche A Accepting Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed its Tranche A
Revolving Commitment or (z) each Tranche B Revolving Lender’s Revolving Exposure
to exceed its Tranche B Revolving Commitment; provided, further, that no Issuing
Bank shall be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit that would have an expiry
date after the date that is five Business Days prior to the Earlier Tranche A
Revolving Facility Maturity Date unless such Letter of Credit would be 100%
covered by the Tranche A Revolving Commitments of the Tranche A Accepting Lender
and Tranche B Revolving Commitments of the Tranche B Revolving Lenders.”

 

(iv) Each Tranche A Revolving Lender that does not execute and deliver a
signature page to this Amendment shall continue to be Revolving Lenders under
the Amended Credit Agreement but shall be referred to as “Earlier Tranche A
Revolving Lenders”.

 

(v) As used in the Credit Agreement, the terms “Agreement,” “this Agreement,”
“herein,” “hereinafter,” “hereto,” “hereof,” and words of similar import shall,
unless the context otherwise requires, mean, from and after the Third Amendment
Effective Date, the Credit Agreement as amended by this Third Amendment.

to enter into this Third Amendment, the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor

specific performance) subject to general principles of equity, regardless of
