You have informed us that, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the 

Plan, the Borrower intends to (a) enter into a new revolving credit facility in an aggregate committed 

amount of $3,500 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and (b) issue senior secured notes pursuant 

to a registered public offering or Rule 144A or other private placement (the “Notes”). In connection 

therewith, the Borrower desires to enter into a $27,350 million senior secured bridge loan facility (the 

“Facility”) having the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Annexes hereto, to be 

available in the event that the Notes are not issued on or prior to the Closing Date (as defined in Annex A) 

for any reason.

The transactions described in the preceding paragraphs are collectively referred to herein as the 

“Transactions.”

For purposes of this Commitment Letter, “Citi” shall mean Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Citibank N.A., 

Citicorp USA, Inc., Citicorp North America, Inc. and/or any of their affiliates as any of them shall 

determine to be appropriate to provide the services contemplated herein.

1. Commitments; Titles and Roles.

(a) Each of JPMorgan, BofA, Barclays, Citi and GS Bank is pleased to confirm its agreement to act, and 

you hereby appoint each of JPMorgan, BofA, Barclays, Citi and GS Bank to act, as a joint lead arranger 

and joint bookrunner (in such capacities, the “Arrangers”) and, except in the case of JPMorgan, cosyndication agent in connection with the Facility; (b) JPMorgan is pleased to confirm its agreement to act, 

and you hereby appoint JPMorgan to act, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the 

“Administrative Agent”) for the Facility; and (c) each of JPMorgan, BANA, Barclays, Citi, GSLP and 

GS Bank (in such capacity, the “Initial Lenders”) is pleased to commit, and hereby commits, on a 

several and not joint basis, to provide the Borrower 20%, 20%, 20%, 20%, 11.042047532% and 

8.957952468%, respectively, of the aggregate principal amount of the Facility on the terms contained in 

this Commitment Letter and subject to the conditions expressly set forth in Annex B hereto; provided that 

the amount of the Facility shall be automatically reduced as provided under “Mandatory Prepayments and 

Commitment Reductions” in Annex A hereto with any such reduction to be applied pro rata among the 

Initial Lenders. It is further agreed that JPMorgan will appear on the top left (and the Arrangers, other 

than JPMorgan, will appear in alphabetical order immediately to the right thereof) of the cover page of 

any marketing materials for the Facility and will hold the roles and responsibilities conventionally 

understood to be associated with such name placement. Our fees for our commitment and for services 

related to the Facility are set forth in a separate fee letter (the “Fee Letter”) entered into by you and the 

Commitment Parties on the date hereof. It is agreed that no other agents, co-agents, arrangers, coarrangers or bookrunners will be appointed and no other titles will be awarded in connection with the 

Facility, and no compensation will be paid in order to obtain such person’s commitment to participate in 

the Facility (other than the compensation expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee 

Letter) in connection with the Facility, unless the Arrangers and you shall so agree; provided, however, 

that you may award agent (other than administrative agent and co-syndication agent) and similar titles to 

any additional Commitment Party that becomes a Commitment Party hereunder in accordance with the 

second paragraph of Section 3 hereof; provided, further, for the avoidance of doubt, no additional 

Commitment Party shall receive a bookrunner title.

You agree that JPMorgan may perform its responsibilities hereunder through its affiliate, J.P. Morgan 

Securities LLC.

2. Conditions Precedent.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or any other 

agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions, (a) the Commitment 

Parties’ commitments and agreements hereunder with respect to the Facility are subject solely to the 

satisfaction or waiver of the conditions expressly set forth in Annex B hereto and (b) the terms of the 

Facility Documentation shall be in a form such that they do not impair the availability of the Facility on 

the Closing Date if the conditions described in the immediately preceding clause (a) are satisfied.

3. Syndication.

The Arrangers reserve the right, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3, prior to or after the 

Closing Date, to syndicate the Facility to the Lenders (as defined in Annex A). The syndication of the 

Facility, including determinations as to the timing of offers to prospective Lenders, the selection of 

Lenders, the acceptance and final allocation of commitments, the awarding of titles or roles to any 

Lenders and the amounts offered and the compensation provided to each Lender from the amounts to be 

paid to the Arrangers pursuant to the terms of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter, will be 

conducted by the Arrangers in consultation with the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the 

period commencing on the date hereof and ending November 20, 2019 (the “Initial Syndication 

Period”), the Facility will be syndicated only to those financial institutions approved by you in writing 

prior to the date hereof or other financial institutions as may be approved in your sole discretion (such 

financial institutions, collectively, the “Approved Lenders”). Following the Initial Syndication Period, if 

and for so long as a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) has not been achieved, the 

syndication of the Facility shall be conducted by the Arrangers in consultation with the Borrower. 

Following the achievement of a Successful Syndication of the Facility, further assignments and 

commitments shall be in accordance with the section captioned “Assignments and Participations” in the 

Term Sheet attached hereto as Annex A.

The aggregate commitments of the Commitment Parties with respect to the Facility shall be reduced 

dollar-for-dollar (and on a pro rata basis) by the amount of each commitment for the Facility received

from additional Lenders selected in accordance with the preceding paragraph to the extent such Lender 

becomes (a) party to this Commitment Letter as an additional “Commitment Party” pursuant to a 

customary joinder agreement or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Arrangers and you 

(each, a “Joinder Agreement”) or (b) party to the Facility Documentation as a Lender; provided that any 

reduction of Goldman Sachs’s commitments under the Facility in accordance with the previous sentence 

or as a result of a reduction of the overall commitments of GSLP and GS Bank, each in its capacity as an 

Initial Lender, pursuant to the terms of this Commitment Letter shall be allocated between GSLP’s and 

GS Bank’s respective commitments as determined by GSLP and GS Bank in their sole discretion. 

Notwithstanding the Arrangers’ right to syndicate the Facility and receive commitments with respect

thereto, and except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, (i) no Commitment Party shall be 

relieved, released or novated from its obligations hereunder (including its obligation to fund the Facility 

on the Closing Date) in connection with any syndication, assignment or participation of the Facility, 

including its commitment in respect thereof, until after the initial funding of the Facility on the Closing 

Date has occurred, (ii) no assignment or novation shall become effective with respect to all or any portion 

of the Commitment Parties’ commitments in respect of the Facility until the initial funding of the Facility 

on the Closing Date and (iii) unless you otherwise agree in writing, each Commitment Party shall retain 

exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to its commitments in respect of the Facility, 

including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, supplements, waivers and amendments, until 

the initial funding of the Facility on the Closing Date has occurred.

#92440077v49

To facilitate an orderly and successful syndication of the Facility, you agree that, until the earlier of 

(a) the achievement of a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) and (b) 60 days following 

the Closing Date (such earlier date, the “Syndication Date”), PG&E and the Borrower will not syndicate 

or issue, attempt to syndicate or issue or announce the syndication or issuance of any competing debt 

facility or any debt or equity security (other than common equity) of PG&E, the Borrower or any of their 

respective subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to materially impair the primary syndication of 

the Facility, in each case without the prior written consent of the Arrangers (such consent not to be 

unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), other than (i) the Facility, (ii) the Notes, (iii) the 

Revolving Credit Facility, (iv) incremental facilities under the Borrower’s current debtor-in-possession 

credit agreement or any new debtor-in-possession facilities, in either case that are to be paid in full in cash 

at emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, (v) securitization securities or facilities contemplated by the 

Plan, (vi) ordinary-course purchase money indebtedness, facility and equipment financings, other debt 

incurred in the ordinary course of business for capital expenditures and working capital purposes, 

financial leases or capital lease obligations, overdraft protection, ordinary course letter of credit facilities, 

hedging and cash management, and similar obligations, (vii) roll-over, “take-back” or reinstated debt that 

may be contemplated by the Plan and (viii) common and preferred equity issued in accordance with the 

Plan in satisfaction of claims.

Without limiting your obligations to assist with the syndication efforts as set forth herein, it is understood 

that the Initial Lender’s commitment hereunder is not conditioned upon the syndication of, or receipt of 

commitments in respect of, the Facility and in no event shall the commencement or successful completion 

of syndication of the Facility constitute a condition to the availability of the Facility on the Closing Date.

Until the Syndication Date, you agree to actively assist the Arrangers in achieving a syndication 

satisfactory to you and us. Such assistance shall include (a) your use of commercially reasonable efforts 

to ensure that the Arrangers’ syndication efforts benefit from your and your affiliates’ existing lending 

relationships, (b) your using commercially reasonable efforts to assist in the preparation of one or more 

information packages for the Facility in form and substance customary for transactions of this type 

regarding the business, operations, financial projections and prospects of the Borrower (after giving effect 

to the Transactions) (collectively, the “Confidential Information Memorandum”), (c) your using 

commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, as promptly as practicable prior to the launch of the 

syndication of the Facility, a Public Debt Rating for the Borrower from each of Moody’s Investor 

Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”), in each case giving 

effect to the Transactions, (d) your executing and delivering one or more Joinder Agreements delivered to 

you in respect of prospective Lenders which are selected in accordance with the provisions of this Section 

3, as soon as reasonably practicable following commencement of syndication of the Facility, (e) the 

presentation of one or more customary information packages for the Facility in format and content 

reasonably satisfactory to the Arrangers (collectively, the “Lender Presentation”) in a reasonable 

number of meetings at reasonable times and locations mutually agreed upon and (f) arranging for direct 

contact between senior management and representatives, with appropriate seniority and expertise, of the 

Borrower with prospective Lenders and participation of such persons in a reasonable number of meetings 

at reasonable times and locations mutually agreed upon. In connection with the Arrangers’ syndication 

efforts, you shall not be required to provide information the disclosure of which would violate any (i) 

attorney-client privilege (and you shall not be required to waive any such privilege), (ii) law, rule or 

regulation applicable to the Borrower or its affiliates or (iii) obligation of confidentiality from a third 

party binding on you or your affiliates (so long as (x) such confidentiality obligation was not entered into 

in contemplation of the Transactions, (y) you use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver of 

such confidentiality obligation (but not attorney-client privilege) and to otherwise provide such 

information that does not violate such confidentiality obligations and (z) you provide the Commitment 

Parties notice that information is being withheld due to the existence of such confidentiality obligation or 

attorney-client privilege); provided that none of the foregoing shall be construed to limit any of your 

Case: 19-30088 Doc# 4446-6 Filed: 10/23/19 Entered: 10/23/19 20:23:33 Page 5

#92440077v49

representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 of this Commitment Letter (and any corresponding 

representation in the Confidential Information Memorandum or the Facility Documentation, as 

applicable). The Borrower will be solely responsible for the contents of any such Confidential 

Information Memorandum and Lender Presentation (other than, in each case, any information contained 

therein that has been provided for inclusion by the Commitment Parties about the Commitment Parties) 

and all other written information, documentation or materials delivered to the Commitment Parties by or 

on behalf of the Borrower in connection therewith (collectively, the “Information”) and the Borrower 

acknowledges that the Commitment Parties will be using and relying upon the Information without 

independent verification thereof. The Borrower agrees that Information (including, without limitation, 

draft and execution versions of the Facility Documentation, the Confidential Information Memorandum, 

the Lender Presentation and publicly filed financial statements) may be disseminated to potential Lenders 

through one or more internet sites (including an IntraLinks, SyndTrak or other similar electronic 

workspace (the “Platform”)) created for purposes of syndicating the Facility or otherwise, in accordance 

with each Arranger’s standard syndication practices, and you acknowledge that no Commitment Party nor 

any of their respective affiliates will be responsible or liable to you or any other person or entity for 

damages arising from the use by others of any Information or other materials obtained on the Platform, 

except to the extent such damages have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross 

negligence of such Commitment Party or its affiliates (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction 

in a final and non-appealable judgment). You hereby authorize the Commitment Parties to download 

copies of the Borrower’s trademark logos from its website and post copies thereof and any Information to 

any Platform established by the Arrangers to syndicate the Facility, and to use the Borrower’s trademark 

logos on any confidential information memoranda, presentations and other marketing materials prepared 

in connection with the syndication of the Facility or in any advertisements (to which you consent, such 

consent not to be unreasonably withheld) that we may place after the closing of the Facility in financial 

and other newspapers, journals, the World Wide Web, home page or otherwise, at our own expense 

describing our services to the Borrower hereunder; provided that such consent shall not be required with 

respect to tombstone, case study or similar advertisement incorporated into promotional material and not 

otherwise publicly disseminated.

The Borrower acknowledges that certain of the Lenders may be “public side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that 

do not wish to receive Private-Side Information (as defined below)) (each, a “Public Lender”; and 

Lenders who are not Public Lenders being referred to herein as “Private Lenders”). At the request of the 

Arrangers, the Borrower agrees to prepare an additional version of the Confidential Information 

Memorandum and the Lender Presentation to be used by Public Lenders containing a representation that 

such Confidential Information Memorandum does not contain Private-Side Information. “Private-Side 

Information” means material non-public information (for purposes of United States federal, state or other 

applicable securities laws) concerning the Borrower and its affiliates or any of their respective securities; 

and “Public-Side Information” means any information that is not Private-Side Information. It is 

understood that in connection with your assistance described above, you will provide a customary 

authorization letter to the Arrangers (a) authorizing the distribution of the Information to prospective 

Private Lenders and the distribution of the Public Side Information to prospective Public Lenders and (b) 

containing a customary “10b-5” representation and a representation to the Commitment Parties, in the 

case of the public-side version, that such Information does not include material non-public information 

about the Borrower, its affiliates or their respective securities. The Public-Side Information will contain 

customary language exculpating the Arrangers, you and the respective affiliates of each of the foregoing 

with respect to any liability related to the use of the contents of the Public-Side Information. In addition, 

the Borrower will clearly designate as such all Information provided to any Commitment Party by or on 

behalf of it which contains exclusively Public-Side Information. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees 

that the following documents may be distributed to all Lenders (including Public Lenders) (unless the 

Borrower promptly notifies the Arrangers in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior 

to their intended distribution (after you have been given a reasonable opportunity to review such 

Case: 19-30088 Doc# 4446-6 Filed: 10/23/19 Entered: 10/23/19 20:23:33 Page 6

#92440077v49

documents) that any such document should only be distributed to prospective Private Lenders): (a) drafts 

and final versions of the Facility Documentation; (b) term sheets and notification of changes in the terms 

of the Facility and (c) administrative materials prepared by the Arrangers for prospective Lenders (such as 

a lender meeting invitation, allocations and funding and closing memoranda). If you advise us that any of 

the foregoing items should be distributed only to Private Lenders, then we will not distribute such 

materials to Public Lenders without further discussions with you.

4. Information.

The Borrower represents and covenants that (i) all written Information (other than projections, estimates 

and other forward-looking materials and information of a general economic or industry specific nature) 

provided by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Commitment Parties or the Lenders in connection with 

the Transactions is and will be when furnished, when taken as a whole, complete and correct in all 

material respects and does not and will not contain when furnished, when taken as a whole, any untrue 

statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained 

therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made 

(giving effect to all supplements and updates provided thereto); and (ii) the written financial projections 

and other written forward-looking information (the “Projections”) that have been or will be made 

available to the Commitment Parties or the Lenders by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with 

the Transactions have been and will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that are believed 

by the Borrower to be reasonable at the time such Projections are furnished to the Commitment Parties or 

the Lenders, it being understood and agreed that Projections are as to future events and are not to be 

viewed as facts, are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are out of the 

Borrower’s control, that no assurance can be given that any particular Projections will be realized and that 

actual results during the period or periods covered by such Projections may differ significantly from the 

projected results and such differences may be material.

You agree that if at any time prior to the later of (i) the Closing Date and (ii) the Syndication Date you 

become aware that any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material 

respect if the Information and Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being 

made, at such time, then you will promptly supplement, or cause to be supplemented, the Information and 

Projections so that such representations will be correct in all material respects in light of the 

circumstances under which such statements are made. We have no obligation to conduct any independent 

evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities of you or any other party.

5. Indemnification and Related Matters.

Subject to the approval of this Commitment Letter by the Bankruptcy Court, you agree, jointly and 

severally, (a) to indemnify and hold harmless the Commitment Parties and their respective affiliates and 

their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, and agents (each, an “indemnified person”) 

from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses to which any such 

indemnified person may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Commitment Letter, the 

Facility, the use of the proceeds thereof or any related transaction or any actual or prospective claim, 

litigation, investigation, arbitration or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (including in relation to 

enforcing the terms of this paragraph) (each, a “Proceeding”), regardless of whether any indemnified 

person is a party thereto, whether or not such Proceedings are brought by you, your equity holders, 

affiliates, creditors or any other person, and to reimburse each indemnified person upon demand for 

reasonable, documented and invoiced out-of-pocket legal expenses of one firm of counsel for all such 

indemnified persons, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, of a single firm of local counsel in each 

appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple 

jurisdictions) for all such indemnified persons, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived

#92440077v49

conflict of interest where the indemnified person affected by such conflict informs you of such conflict 

and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such affected indemnified person 

and, if necessary, of a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a 

single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for such affected indemnified person) (the 

foregoing, the “Counsel Limitation”) or other reasonable, documented and invoiced out-of-pocket 

expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing; provided that the 

foregoing indemnity will not, as to any indemnified person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or 

related expenses to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent 

jurisdiction to (i) have arisen or resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of 

such indemnified person, (ii) have resulted from a claim brought by you or any of your subsidiaries 

against such indemnified person for material breach of such indemnified person’s obligations hereunder 

or (iii) have not resulted from an act or omission by you or any of your affiliates and have been brought 

by an indemnified person against any other indemnified person (other than any claims against any 

Commitment Party in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an arranger or agent or any similar role 

hereunder, except to the extent such acts or omissions are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction 

by a final and non-appealable judgment to have constituted the gross negligence, bad faith or willful 

misconduct of such indemnified party in such capacity), and (b) to reimburse the Commitment Parties and 

their respective affiliates on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including due diligence expenses, 

syndication expenses, travel expenses, and reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) 

incurred in connection with the Facility and any related documentation (including this Commitment 

Letter, the Fee Letter and the definitive documentation relating to the Facility) or the administration, 

amendment, modification or waiver thereof. You acknowledge that we may receive a benefit, including 

without limitation, a discount, credit or other accommodation, from any of such counsel based on the fees 

such counsel may receive on account of their relationship with us including, without limitation, fees paid 

pursuant hereto. None of the indemnified persons or you shall have any liability for any special, indirect, 

consequential or punitive damages in connection with activities related to the Facility or the Transactions; 

provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit your indemnity and reimbursement obligations 

to the extent set forth in this paragraph.

No indemnified person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of Information or 

other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission 

systems, including an Platform or otherwise via the internet, and you agree, to the extent permitted by 

applicable law, to not assert any claims against any indemnified person with respect to the foregoing.

You shall not, without the prior written consent of an indemnified person (which consent shall not be 

unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened 

Proceedings in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified person 

unless (a) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified person in form and 

substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person from all liability on claims that are the 

subject matter of such Proceedings and (b) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, 

culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified person or any injunctive relief or other 

non-monetary remedy. You acknowledge that any failure to comply with your obligations under the 

preceding sentence may cause irreparable harm to the Commitment Parties and the other indemnified 

persons. You shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding if the amount of such settlement 

was effected without your consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or 

delayed), but if settled with your written consent or if there is a judgment by a court of competent 

jurisdiction in any such Proceeding, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless each indemnified person 

from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and expenses by reason of such 

settlement or judgment in accordance with the other provisions of this paragraph.

#92440077v49

You agree that the fees, expenses and indemnities payable hereunder and incurred pursuant hereto, and as 

set forth in, this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter (a) are reasonable, (b) are actual and necessary 

costs and expenses of preserving the Debtors’ estates and (c) subject to the approval of this Commitment 

Letter by the Bankruptcy Court, constitute allowed Administrative Claims against the Debtors on a joint 

and several basis under the Plan.

6. Assignments.

This Commitment Letter may not be assigned by you without the prior written consent of the 

Commitment Parties, nor, except as expressly contemplated by Section 3 above, by any Commitment 

Party without your prior written consent (and any purported assignment without such consent will be null 

and void), is intended to be solely for the benefit of the Commitment Parties and the other parties hereto 

and, except as set forth in Section 5 above, is not intended to confer any benefits upon, or create any 

rights in favor of, any person other than the parties hereto. Any Commitment Party may, in consultation 

with the Borrower, assign its commitments and agreements hereunder, in whole or in part, to any of its 

affiliates; for the avoidance of doubt, GS Bank may assign its commitments and agreements hereunder, in 

whole or in part, to GSLP and vice versa, and any such assignment will relieve such assignor of its 

obligations hereunder dollar-for-dollar by the amount of such assigned commitments (and the applicable 

assignee’s commitments will be increased dollar-for-dollar by the amount of such assigned 

commitments).

7. Confidentiality.

This Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and the contents hereof and thereof are confidential and may not 

be disclosed by you to any other person (other than any Commitment Party) without our prior written 

consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except pursuant to a 

subpoena or order issued by a court or administrative agency or by a judicial, administrative or legislative 

body or committee (in which case you agree to inform us promptly thereof to the extent practicable and 

not prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation); provided that we hereby consent to your disclosure 

of (i) this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter to your affiliates and your and your affiliates’ respective 

officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (including legal counsel, independent auditors and 

other experts, professional advisors or agents) who are involved in the consideration of the Transactions 

(including in connection with providing accounting and tax advice to the Borrower and its affiliates) on a 

confidential basis, (ii) this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter as required by applicable law or 

compulsory legal process or, to the extent requested or required by governmental and/or regulatory 

authorities (in which case you agree (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank

contractual counterparties to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or its obligations

under this provision shall remain in effect until the earlier of (i) two years from the date hereof and (ii) the 

execution and delivery of the Facility Documentation by the parties thereto, at which time any 

confidentiality undertaking in the Facility Documentation shall supersede the provisions in this paragraph.

8. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship; Affiliates; Etc.

As you know, each Commitment Party (together with its affiliates, the “Commitment Entities”) is a full 

service financial institution engaged, either directly or through its affiliates, in a broad array of activities, 

including commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, market making and trading, investment 

management (both public and private investing), investment research, principal investment, financial 

planning, benefits counseling, risk management, hedging, financing, brokerage and other financial and 

non-financial activities and services globally. In the ordinary course of their various business activities, 

the Commitment Entities and funds or other entities in which the Commitment Entities invest or with 

which they co-invest, may at any time purchase, sell, hold or vote long or short positions and investments 

in securities, derivatives, loans, commodities, currencies, credit default swaps and other financial 

instruments for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. In addition, the Commitment 

Entities may at any time communicate independent recommendations and/or publish or express 

independent research views in respect of such assets, securities or instruments. Any of the 

aforementioned activities may involve or relate to assets, securities and/or instruments of the Borrower 

and/or other entities and persons which may (i) be involved in transactions arising from or relating to the 

arrangement contemplated by this Commitment Letter or (ii) have other relationships with the Borrower 

or its affiliates. In addition, the Commitment Entities may provide investment banking, commercial 

banking, underwriting and financial advisory services to such other entities and persons. Although the 

Commitment Entities in the course of such other activities and relationships may acquire information 

about the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter or other entities and persons which may 

be the subject of the financing contemplated by this Commitment Letter, the Commitment Entities shall 

have no obligation to disclose such information, or the fact that the Commitment Entities are in 

possession of such information, to the Borrower or to use such information on the Borrower’s behalf.

Consistent with the Commitment Entities’ policies to hold in confidence the affairs of their customers, the 

Commitment Entities will not furnish confidential information obtained from you by virtue of the 

transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter to any of their other customers and will treat 

confidential information relating to the Borrower and its affiliates with the same degree of care as they 

treat their own confidential information and in accordance with Section 7 hereof. Furthermore, you 

Case: 19-30088 Doc# 4446-6 Filed: 10/23/19 Entered: 10/23/19 20:23:33 Page 11

of 41

#92440077v49

acknowledge that neither the Commitment Entities nor any of their respective affiliates has an obligation 

to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter, or to furnish to you, 

confidential information obtained or that may be obtained by them from any other person.

Each of the Commitment Entities may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower, 

its equity holders and/or its affiliates. You agree that each Commitment Entity will act under this 

Commitment Letter as an independent contractor and that nothing in this Commitment Letter or the Fee 

Letter or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or 

other implied duty between the Commitment Entities and the Borrower, its equity holders or its affiliates. 

You acknowledge and agree that the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee 

Letter (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length 

commercial transactions between the Commitment Entities, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the 

other, and in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (i) the Commitment Entities have 

not assumed (A) an advisory responsibility in favor of the Borrower, its equity holders or its affiliates 

with respect to the financing transactions contemplated hereby or (B) a fiduciary responsibility in favor of 

the Borrower, its equity holders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, or in 

each case, the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto or the process leading thereto 

(irrespective of whether the Commitment Entities have advised, are currently advising or will advise the 

Borrower, its equity holders or its affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower 

except the obligations expressly set forth in this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter and (ii) the 

Commitment Entities are acting solely as principals and not as the agents or fiduciaries of the Borrower, 

its management, equity holders, affiliates, creditors or any other person. The Borrower acknowledges and 

agrees that it has consulted its own legal, tax, investment, accounting and financial advisors to the extent 

it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to 

such transactions and the process leading thereto. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower 

agrees that it will not bring any claim that the Commitment Entities have breached any fiduciary or 

similar duty to the Borrower with respect to the financing transactions contemplated hereby or owe a 

fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such financing transactions or the process 

leading thereto. In addition, each Commitment Party may employ the services of its affiliates in 

providing services and/or performing its or their obligations hereunder and may, subject to Section 7, 

exchange with such affiliates information concerning the Borrower and other companies that may be the 

subject of this arrangement, and such affiliates will be entitled to the benefits afforded to such 

Commitment Party hereunder (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). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall affect the Borrower’s rights in respect 

of any separate engagement of any Commitment Party, including as financial advisor, in connection with 

the Transactions or any other matter.

You further acknowledge that certain of the Commitment Parties and/or their affiliates currently are 

acting as lenders and as the administrative agent under certain of the Borrower’s credit agreements, and 

your and your affiliates’ rights and obligations under any other agreement with any Commitment Party or 

any of its affiliates (including the Funded Debt Documents and the DIP Facility Credit Agreement (each 

as defined in the Plan)) that currently exist or hereafter may exist are, and shall be, separate and distinct 

from the rights and obligations of the parties pursuant to this Commitment Letter, and none of such rights 

and obligations under such other agreements shall be affected by any Commitment Party’s performance 

or lack of performance of services hereunder. You hereby agree that each Commitment Party may render 

its services under this Commitment Letter notwithstanding any actual or potential conflict of interest 

presented by the foregoing, and you agree that you will not claim any conflict of interest relating to the 

relationship among such Commitment Party and you and your affiliates in connection with the 

commitments and services contemplated hereby, on the one hand, and the exercise by any Commitment 

Party or any of its affiliates of any of their rights and duties under any credit agreement or other

agreement (including the Funded Debt Documents and the DIP Facility Credit Agreement) on the other 

hand.

In addition, please note that the Commitment Entities do not provide accounting, tax or legal advice.

Sections 3 and 4 shall terminate on the Syndication Date.

Each of the parties hereto (for itself and its affiliates) agrees that any suit or proceeding arising in 

respect of this Commitment Letter or the Commitment Parties’ commitments or agreements 

hereunder or the Fee Letter will be tried exclusively in (i) subject to clause (ii)(B), until the Effective

arising in connection with or as a result of either the Commitment Parties’ commitments or 

agreements or any matter referred to in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter is hereby waived 

by the parties hereto (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law). Each of the parties hereto

conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other 

manner provided by law. Service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail 

or overnight courier addressed to any of the parties hereto at the addresses above shall be effective 

service of process against such party for any suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court.

This Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter and any claim, controversy or dispute arising 

hereunder or thereunder will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the 

State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

10. PATRIOT Act Notification.

combination thereof) to exceed $18.9 billion (the “Wildfire Claims Cap”); provided, however, that for

any Qualifying Bank Financing of PG&E; 

provided, however, that until such time as the Backstop 

Commitments (as defined in those certain Chapter 11 Plan Backstop 

Commitment Letters (the “BCLs”), as in effect on the date hereof) 

have been reduced to $0, except as contemplated by the proviso to 

the Excluded Debt definition below, the commitments in respect of 

the Facility shall not be reduced by any cash proceeds from any 

Additional Capital Source (as defined in the BCLs, as in effect on 

the date hereof) to the extent that such cash proceeds also reduce the 

Backstop Commitments.

Mandatory prepayments or reductions under clause (a) and (b)

above, or the proviso to the Excluded Debt definition below, may be

applied, at the option of the Borrower, either to prepay loans or 

reduce commitments under the Facility and that certain senior

unsecured bridge facility of PG&E described in the commitment 

letter dated as of the date hereof among PG&E, the Borrower, 

JPMorgan and the other “Commitment Parties” party thereto (such

not prepay loans or reduce commitments under the Facility without 

prepaying or reducing the PG&E Facility on a pro rata basis and (ii) 

Net Cash Proceeds of any Notes issued by the Borrower shall be 

applied to prepay loans or reduce commitments under the Facility 

before being applied to prepay or reduce the PG&E Facility. The 

application of Net Cash Proceeds received by the Utility to prepay 

or reduce the PG&E Facility shall be subject to requisite regulatory 

approvals (and such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied to prepay or 

reduce the Facility to the extent not permitted to be applied to 

prepay or reduce the PG&E Facility). For the avoidance of doubt, 

each dollar from a mandatory prepayment or reduction event 

described under this heading shall be applied to reduce either (but 

not both) of the commitments under the Facility or the commitments 

under the PG&E Facility, or to prepay either (but not both) the loans 

under the Facility or the loans under the PG&E Facility, in each case 

in accordance with the terms described under this heading.

Furthermore, the obligations of the Commitment Parties to fund on 

the Closing Date in respect of the Facility under the Commitment 

Letter or under the Facility Documentation (as applicable) shall be 

automatically and permanently reduced, without penalty or premium

the clauses above) the aggregate principal amount of any roll-over, 

“take-back” or reinstated debt (the “Surviving Debt”) of the 

Borrower or its subsidiaries.

Borrower, PG&E or any of their respective subsidiaries in good 

faith and pursuant to commercially reasonable practices for 

adjustment in respect of the sale price of such asset or assets in

amounts charged against such reserve, then such excess, upon 

determination thereof, shall then constitute Net Cash Proceeds;

(b) with respect to the incurrence, issuance, offering or placement 

of debt securities or other debt for borrowed money, the excess, if 

any, of (i) cash actually received by the Borrower, PG&E and their 

respective subsidiaries in connection with such incurrence, issuance, 

offering or placement over (ii) the underwriting discounts and 

commissions and other fees and expenses incurred by the Borrower, 

PG&E and their respective subsidiaries in connection with such 

incurrence, issuance, offering or placement; and

(c) with respect to the issuances of equity interests, the excess of (i) 

the cash actually received by the Borrower, PG&E and their 

respective subsidiaries in connection with such issuance over (ii) the 

underwriting discounts and commissions and other fees and 

expenses incurred by the Borrower, PG&E or any of their respective 

subsidiaries in connection with such issuance.

“Excluded Debt” shall mean (i) intercompany indebtedness of the 

Borrower, PG&E or any of their respective subsidiaries, (ii)

and debt or unfunded commitments under a revolving credit facility

notwithstanding the foregoing, if (A) the aggregate principal amount 

of Specified Debt issued or incurred by the Borrower or its 

subsidiaries plus the aggregate principal amount of Excluded Debt 

issued or incurred by the Borrower or its subsidiaries pursuant to 

clause (iv), (v) or (vi) plus the principal amount of Surviving Debt 

of the Borrower or its subsidiaries exceeds $30,000 million, or (B)

by PG&E plus the aggregate principal amount of Excluded Debt 

issued or incurred by PG&E pursuant to clause (vi) or (vii) plus the

million, then in either case the commitments with respect to the 

Facility shall be reduced, or the loans under the Facility shall be 

prepaid, by an equivalent amount (for the avoidance of doubt, until 

such commitments or the aggregate principal amount of such loans, 

in either case, equal zero).

“Excluded Equity Offerings” shall mean (i) issuances pursuant to 

employee compensation plans, employee benefit plans, employee

effective for the purposes of financing the Transactions (excluding,

Applicable Adjusted LIBO Rate Margin minus 1.00% 

(but in any event not less than 0.00%).

The Borrower may elect interest periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 

months for Adjusted LIBO Rate borrowings. Calculation 

of interest shall be on the basis of the actual number of 

days elapsed in a year of 360 days (or 365 or 366 days, as 

the case may be, in the case of ABR loans based on the 

prime rate) and interest shall be paid in arrears (i) at the 

end of each interest period and no less frequently than 

quarterly, in the case of Adjusted LIBO Rate advances, 

and (ii) quarterly, in the case of ABR advances.

“ABR” is the Alternate Base Rate, which is the greatest 

of (i) the Prime Rate, (ii) the NYFRB Rate from time to 

time plus 0.5% and (iii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a 

one month interest period on the applicable date plus 1%.

“Adjusted LIBO Rate” means the LIBO Rate, as 

adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for 

eurocurrency liabilities.

“Interpolated Rate” means, at any time, for any interest 

period, the rate per annum (rounded to the same number 

of decimal places as the LIBO Screen Rate) determined 

by the Administrative Agent (which determination shall 

be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) to be 

equal to the rate that results from interpolating on a linear 

basis between: (a) the LIBO Screen Rate for the longest 

period (for which the LIBO Screen Rate is available for 

the applicable currency) that is shorter than the Impacted 

Interest Period; and (b) the LIBO Screen Rate for the 

shortest period (for which that LIBO Screen Rate is 

available for the applicable currency) that exceeds the 

Impacted Interest Period, in each case, at such time; 

provided that if any Interpolated Rate as so determined 

would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be 

zero for the purposes of the Facility Documentation.

“LIBO Rate” means, with respect to any Eurocurrency 

borrowing for any applicable currency and for any 

interest period, the LIBO Screen Rate at approximately 

11:00 a.m., London time, two business days prior to the 

commencement of such interest period; provided that if

the LIBO Screen Rate shall not be available at such time 

for such interest period (an “Impacted Interest Period”) 

with respect to the applicable currency then the LIBO

Rate shall be the Interpolated Rate.

“LIBO Screen Rate” means, for any day and time, with 

respect to any Eurocurrency borrowing for any applicable 

currency and for any interest period, the London 

interbank offered rate as administered by ICE Benchmark 

Administration (or any other Person that takes over the 

administration of such rate) for the relevant currency for 

a period equal in length to such interest period as 

displayed on such day and time on pages LIBOR01 or 

LIBOR02 of the Reuters screen that displays such rate 

(or, in the event such rate does not appear on a Reuters 

page or screen, on any successor or substitute page on 

such screen that displays such rate, or on the appropriate 

page of such other information service that publishes 

such rate from time to time as selected by the 

Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion); 

provided that if the LIBO Screen Rate as so determined 

would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to zero 

for the purposes of calculating such rate.

“NYFRB” means the Federal Reserve Bank of New 

York.

“NYFRB Rate” means, for any day, the greater of (i) 

the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day 

and (ii) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate in effect on 

such day (or for any day that is not a business day, for 

the immediately preceding business day); provided that 

if none of such rates are published for any day that is a 

business day, the term “NYFRB Rate” means the rate 

quoted for such day for a federal funds transaction at 

11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such day received 

by the Administrative Agent from a federal funds broker 

of recognized standing selected by it; provided, further, 

that if any of the aforesaid rates as so determined would 

be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero 

for purposes of the Facility Documentation.

“Overnight Bank Funding Rate” means, for any day, 

the rate comprised of both overnight federal funds and 

overnight eurodollar borrowings by U.S.-managed

published on the next succeeding business day by the 

NYFRB as an overnight bank funding rate.

“Prime Rate” means the rate of interest last quoted by 

The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” in the U.S. 

or, if The Wall Street Journal ceases to quote such rate,

the highest per annum interest rate published by the 

Federal Reserve Board in Federal Reserve Statistical 

Release H.15 (519) (Selected Interest Rates) as the 

“bank prime loan” rate or, if such rate is no longer 

quoted therein, any similar rate quoted therein (as 

determined reasonably and in good faith by the 

Administrative Agent) or in any similar release by the 

Federal Reserve Board (as determined reasonably and in 

good faith by the Administrative Agent). Each change 

in the Prime Rate shall be effective from and including 

the date such change is publicly announced or quoted as

covenant set forth in the Plan) that, individually or in the aggregate with any such other results,

Adverse Effect shall include the occurrence of one or more wildfires on or after January 1, 2020 

destroying or damaging at least 500 Structures within PG&E’s service area at a time when the portion of

be expected to negatively impact cash distributions to PG&E or distributions that will be available to 

service debt at PG&E.

15. The Utility has both (i) elected, and received Bankruptcy Court approval, to participate in 

the Go-Forward Wildfire Fund (as defined in the Plan) and (ii) satisfied the other conditions to

Form of Solvency Certificate

[DATE]

This Solvency Certificate (“Certificate”) of [_________] (“the Borrower”), and its Subsidiaries 

is delivered pursuant to Section [__] of the $[_________] Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement, 

dated as of [_________] (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, the Lenders from time 

to time party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. Unless otherwise defined 

herein, capitalized terms used in this Certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit 

Agreement.

I, [_____], the duly elected, qualified and acting [Chief Financial Officer] of the Borrower and its 

Subsidiaries, DO HEREBY CERTIFY that I have reviewed the Credit Agreement and the other Loan 

Documents referred to therein and have made such investigation as I have deemed necessary to enable me 

to express a reasonably informed opinion as to the matters referred to herein.

I HEREBY FURTHER CERTIFY, in my capacity as [Chief Financial Officer] and not in my 

individual capacity, that as of the date hereof, immediately after giving effect to the Transactions:

1. The fair value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, 

at a fair valuation on a going concern basis, exceeds, on a consolidated basis, their debts and liabilities, 

subordinated, contingent or otherwise.

2. The present fair saleable value of the property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a 

consolidated and going concern basis, is greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable 

liability, on a consolidated basis, of their debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, 

as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured in the ordinary course of business.

3. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are able to pay their debts and 

liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such liabilities become absolute and matured in the 

ordinary course of business.

4. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries are not engaged in businesses, and are not about to 

engage in businesses for which they have unreasonably small capital.

For purposes of this Certificate, the amount of any contingent liability at any time shall be 

computed as the amount that, in light of all the facts and circumstances existing as of the date hereof, 

would reasonably be expected to become an actual and matured liability.

For the purpose of the foregoing, I have assumed there is no default under the Credit Agreement 

on the date hereof and will be no default under the Credit Agreement after giving effect to the funding 

under the Credit Agreement.
