8.Confidentiality.  Neither Party will issue or make any public disclosure, press release, media release or other public announcements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the consent of the other Party, except (a) as required by law, regulation or court order, provided that, unless prohibited by law or court order, the disclosing Party shall give the other Party prompt written notice of the forthcoming disclosure and the basis for making the disclosure (including copies of the law or court order at issue), and shall give the other Party reasonable time and opportunity to object to or seek to limit or condition the disclosure before it occurs (and the disclosing Party shall cooperate as reasonably requested, at the expense of the requesting Party); (b) any SEC filings or other filings by Parent required by law; (c) to respective counsel and accountants of the Parties and their affiliates and employees, officers, and directors of the Parties and their affiliates who have a legitimate business reason for receiving the information and who agree to keep it confidential; and (d) in any action or proceeding to enforce the terms of this Agreement, provided that such Party shall seek to file this Agreement under seal. 
9.No Admission of Liability.  Neither the execution of this Agreement nor compliance with any of its terms is intended to constitute, nor shall it constitute, an admission of fault or liability by any Party with respect to any matter.
10.Successors and Assigns; Assignment.  This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  No Party may assign its respective rights under this Agreement except with the prior written consent of the other Parties, which consent may be given or withheld in such other Parties’ sole discretion.
11.Amendments.  Any provision of this Agreement may be amended if, but only if, such amendment is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment by each Party.
12.Waiver.  No waiver by either Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless set forth in a writing executed by the Party so waiving.  The failure of either Party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.  No failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
13.Choice of Law.  As part of the consideration and mutual promises being exchanged and given in connection with this Agreement, the Parties agree that all claims, controversies and disputes of any kind or nature arising under or relating in any way to the enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement or to the Parties’ dealings, rights or obligations in connection herewith, including disputes relating to the negotiations for, inducements to enter into, or execution of, this Agreement, and disputes concerning the interpretation, enforceability, performance, breach, termination or validity of all or any portion of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its choice or conflicts of laws principles.
14.Disputes.  The Parties agree that all claims, controversies and disputes of any kind or nature relating in any way to the enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement or to the Parties’ dealings, rights or obligations in connection herewith, shall be exclusively resolved by final and binding arbitration before JAMS.  The Parties further agree that any disagreement as to whether a particular type of claim, controversy or dispute is subject to arbitration shall, regardless of the nature of the dispute, be decided exclusively by the arbitrators, and not by a court, it being the Parties’ intention that no dispute or controversy relating in any manner whatsoever to this Agreement or their dealings in connection herewith shall be submitted to litigation in a state or federal court.  Each Party agrees that the award of the arbitrators shall be final, binding and non-appealable and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between and among the Parties regarding any matter presented to the arbitrator, regardless of the magnitude thereof.  All arbitration proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”).  Arbitration shall be conducted exclusively in Chicago, Illinois, before three (3) neutral arbitrators domiciled there, who shall be appointed by agreement of the Parties or, in the event the Parties are unable to agree on three (3) arbitrators within ten (10) calendar days following the commencement of the arbitration (or sooner if a Party submits a request for injunctive or interim relief before an agreement on arbitrators has been reached), in accordance with JAMS Rule 12.  The arbitrators shall award attorneys’ fees to the prevailing Party, and shall have the discretion to make a full or partial award of attorneys’ fees based upon their determination of the extent to which a Party achieved the relief sought in its pleadings or prevailed with respect to the issues in controversy.  The arbitration, including the arbitration award, shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.), and judgment upon the award may be confirmed and entered by any court having competent jurisdiction over the Parties or their assets.
15.Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the Parties with respect to the specific subject matter hereof, and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings relating to the specific subject matter of this Agreement.  No statement, promise or representation other than those expressly stated herein has been made by either Party as an inducement to enter into this Agreement, and each Party specifically disclaims reliance on any statement, promise or representation that is not stated herein or in the documents governing the transactions contemplated hereby.

16.Further Assurances.  Each of the Parties covenants that it will execute and deliver such documents and  take such actions after the date hereof, as may be necessary or otherwise reasonably requested by any Party (and at the requesting Party’s expense) to make more fully effective the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
17.Severability.  Every provision of this Agreement is intended to be severable, and, if any term or provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement, and the provision in question shall be modified as required to comply with the law while effectuating, to the greatest extent possible, the intent of the Parties as reflected in the original language.
18.Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, and all such executed counterparts shall constitute the same Agreement.  It shall be necessary to account for only one such counterpart in proving the existence of terms of this Agreement.
19.Electronic Execution and Delivery.  A facsimile, PDF or other reproduction of this Agreement may be executed by one or more Parties, and an executed copy of this Agreement may be delivered by one or more Parties by facsimile, e-mail or other electronic transmission device pursuant to which the signature of or on behalf of such Party can be seen, and such execution and delivery shall be considered valid, binding and effective for all purposes.  At the request of either Party, each Party agrees to execute an original of this Agreement as well as any facsimile or reproduction thereof.  The Parties hereby agree that neither shall raise the execution of facsimile, PDF or other reproduction of this Agreement, or the fact that any signature or document was transmitted or communicated by facsimile, e-mail or other electronic transmission device, as a defense to the formation of this Agreement.

This FOURTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Fourth Amendment”) is entered into as of January 10, 2017, among Dynegy Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Guarantors party hereto, each RL Lender listed as an “Extending RL Lender”, “Upsizing Extending RL Lender”, “Incremental RL Lender”, “RL Lender” and/or “Issuing Lender” on the signature pages hereto and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).  Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings provided such terms in the Credit Agreement referred to below.

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders from time to time party thereto and the Administrative Agent are parties to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of April 23, 2013 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the effectiveness of this Fourth Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower is hereby notifying the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders that, pursuant to Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement, it is making an Extension Offer, on a pro rata basis, to each RL Lender holding Initial Revolving Loan Commitments, which Extension Offer provides for an extension of the Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date from April 23, 2018 to April 23, 2021 (the “Extended Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date”);

 

WHEREAS, each RL Lender party hereto has agreed to extend the Maturity Date applicable to the Initial Revolving Loan Commitments (and related outstandings) held by it to the Extended Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date (such consenting RL Lenders, collectively, the “Extending RL Lenders” and such extended commitments, the “Extended Initial Revolving Loan Commitments”), in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein;

 

WHEREAS, certain RL Lenders holding Initial Revolving Loan Commitments have declined to participate in the Extension Offer (each such declining RL Lender, a “Non-Extending RL Lender”) and have elected to maintain the currently-existing Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date with respect to their respective Initial Revolving Loan Commitments (and related outstandings) (the commitments of such Non-Extending RL Lenders, collectively, the “Non-Extended Initial Revolving Loan Commitments”);

 

WHEREAS, each Extending RL Lender that holds an Initial Letter of Credit Commitment has further agreed to extend, concurrently with the effectiveness of the Initial Revolving Loan Extension (as defined below), its Initial Letter of Credit Commitment through the date that is five Business Days prior to Extended Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date (such extended commitments, the “Extended Initial Letter of Credit Commitments”), in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein;

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower is hereby notifying the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders that it is requesting a Revolving Commitment Increase in an aggregate principal amount of $45,000,000 (collectively, the “Extended Initial Revolver Increase”) pursuant to Section 2.15 of the Credit Agreement and otherwise on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, which Revolving Commitment Increases shall (a) be established by entering into an Incremental Amendment pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement (it being agreed that this Fourth Amendment constitutes an Incremental Amendment which meets such requirements) with (i) each Extending RL Lender agreeing to provide such Revolving Commitment Increases (such Extending RL Lenders, the “Upsizing Extending RL Lenders”), (ii) each other RL Lender agreeing to provide such Revolving Commitment Increases (such other RL Lenders, the “Incremental RL Lenders”) and (iii) the 

 

 

Administrative Agent, to become effective immediately after the effectiveness of the Initial Revolving Loan Extension contemplated hereby and (b) take the form of an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Initial Revolving Loan Commitments;

 

WHEREAS, each Upsizing Extending RL Lender and each Incremental RL Lender has indicated its willingness to provide the Extended Initial Revolver Increase set forth opposite its name on Schedule I hereto, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein; and

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested and the Revolving Lenders have agreed to certain amendments to Section 10.07 of the Credit Agreement with respect to the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio levels set forth therein;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1.                                                 Extension of Initial Revolving Loan Commitments and Initial Letter of Credit Commitments; Revolving Commitment Increase.

 

(a)                           Each Extending RL Lender hereby severally agrees to the extension (the “Initial Revolving Loan Extension”) of the Maturity Date with respect to the entire principal amount of Initial Revolving Loan Commitments (and related outstandings) held by such Extending RL Lender immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Fourth Amendment, in each case, to the Extended Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date, with each such Initial Revolving Loan Extension to become effective on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date (as defined below).

 

(b)                           In connection with the effectiveness of the Initial Revolving Loan Extension, each Extending RL Lender hereby severally agrees to the extension (the “Initial Letter of Credit Commitment Extension”) of the availability with respect to the entire principal amount (if any) of Initial Letter of Credit Commitments held by such Extending RL Lender immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Fourth Amendment (which, Initial Letter of Credit Commitment Extensions, in the aggregate, represent an extension of all outstanding Initial Letter of Credit Commitments in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Fourth Amendment) to the date that is five Business Days prior to Extended Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date, with each such Initial Letter of Credit Commitment Extension to become effective on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date.

 

(c)                            Each Upsizing Extending RL Lender and each Incremental RL Lender hereby severally commits to provide the Extended Initial Revolver Increase to the Extended Initial Revolving Loan Commitments in the amount set forth opposite its name under the column entitled “Extended Initial Revolver Increase Amount” on Schedule I attached hereto, with each such commitment and increase to be effective as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, immediately after the effectiveness of the Initial Revolving Loan Extension.

 

(d)                           Upon the occurrence of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, the following shall automatically occur (in the order set forth below):

 

(i)                                     the Initial Revolving Loan Extension shall be effected through (x) the establishment of the Extended Initial Revolving Loan Commitments as a new Class of Revolving Loan Commitments on the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement (as amended by this Fourth Amendment) and (y) the automatic conversion, pursuant to Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement, of the entire principal amount of Initial Revolving Loan Commitments (and related outstandings)

 

2

 

of each Extending RL Lender into such new Extended Initial Revolving Loan Commitments immediately upon the creation thereof;

 

(ii)                                  immediately following the consummation of the Initial Revolving Loan Extension, the Initial Letter of Credit Commitment Extension shall be effected through the automatic conversion of the Initial Letter of Credit Commitments (if any) of each Extending RL Lender into Extended Initial Letter of Credit Commitments in respect of the Extended Initial Revolving Loan Commitments; and

 

(iii)                               the Extended Initial Revolver Increase shall become effective and the amount of the Extended Initial Revolving Loan Commitments shall be increased by the aggregate amount of the Extended Initial Revolver Increase (with such amount, to be allocated between the Upsizing Extending RL Lenders and the Incremental RL Lenders as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto).

 

(e)                            The terms of the Extended Initial Revolving Loan Commitments, the loans made pursuant thereto and the Extended Initial Letter of Credit Commitments shall, other than with respect to the aggregate principal amount thereof and/or the Maturity Date relating thereto, be identical to the terms of the Initial Revolving Loan Commitments, Initial Revolving Loans and the Initial Letter of Credit Commitment, respectively.  For the avoidance of doubt, the terms of the Non-Extended Initial Revolving Loan Commitments of each Non-Extending RL Lender shall not be modified a result of the foregoing, and such Non-Extended Initial Revolving Loan Commitments shall continue as “Initial Revolving Loan Commitments” pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

 

(f)                             The parties hereby agree that (x) on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date (after giving effect to this Fourth Amendment and each of the actions set forth in clause (d) above), (i) the total Extended Initial Revolving Loan Commitments shall be $450,000,000.00, (ii) the total Extended Initial Letter of Credit Commitments of each applicable Issuing Lender shall be as set forth on Schedule II hereto, (iii) the total remaining Initial Revolving Loan Commitments shall be $70,000,000.00 and (iv) the total remaining Initial Letter of Credit Commitments shall be $0 and (y) there shall be an automatic adjustment, as set forth in Section 5 of this Fourth Amendment, to the RL Percentage of each RL Lender in the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure and the aggregate Swingline Loan Exposure to reflect the new RL Percentage of each RL Lender in the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure and the aggregate Swingline Loan Exposure after giving effect to this Fourth Amendment.

(i)                                     The definition of “Applicable Margin” contained in Section 1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

““Applicable Margin” shall mean a percentage per annum equal to (i) in the case of Initial Tranche B-1 Term Loans maintained as (A) Base Rate Loans, 2.00% and (B) LIBOR Loans, 3.00%; (ii) in the case of Initial Tranche B-2 Term Loans maintained as (A) Base Rate Loans, 2.00% and (B) LIBOR Loans, 3.00%; (iii) in the case of Incremental Tranche C Term Loans maintained as (A) Base Rate Loans, 3.00% and (B) LIBOR Loans, 4.00%; (iv) initially, in the case of Initial Revolving Loans, Incremental Tranche A Revolving Loans, Incremental Tranche B Revolving Loans and Extended Initial Revolving Loans, in each case, maintained as (A) Base Rate Loans, 1.75% and (B) LIBOR Loans, 2.75%; (v) initially, in the case of Unutilized Revolving

The Senior Secured Leverage Ratio used in a determination of Adjustable Applicable Margins shall be determined based on the delivery of a certificate of the Borrower (each, a “Quarterly Pricing Certificate”) by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to be sent by the Administrative Agent to each Lender), within 50 days of the last day of any Fiscal Quarter of the Borrower, which certificate shall set forth the calculation of the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio as at the last day of the Test Period ended immediately prior to the relevant Start Date (but determined on a Pro Forma Basis) and the Adjustable Applicable Margins which shall be thereafter applicable (until same are changed or cease to apply in accordance with the following sentences).  The Adjustable Applicable Margins so determined shall apply, except as set forth in the succeeding sentence, from the relevant Start Date to the earlier of (x) the date on which the next certificate is delivered to the Administrative Agent, and (y) the date which is 51 days (or 106 days in the case of the fourth Fiscal Quarter of the Borrower) following the last day of the Test Period in which the previous Start Date occurred (such earliest date, the “End Date”), at which time, if no certificate has been delivered to the Administrative Agent indicating an entitlement to new Adjustable Applicable Margins (and thus commencing a new Start Date), the Adjustable Applicable Margins shall be those set forth in the first sentence of this definition (such Adjustable Applicable Margins as so determined, the “Highest Adjustable Applicable Margins”).

 

4

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this definition, the Adjustable Applicable Margins shall be the Highest Adjustable Applicable Margins (x) at all times during which there shall exist any Event of Default and (y) at all times prior to the date of delivery of the financial statements pursuant to Section 9.01(a) for the first full Fiscal Quarter of the Borrower following the Closing Date.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this definition or elsewhere in this Agreement, if it is subsequently determined that the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio set forth in any Quarterly Pricing Certificate delivered for any period is inaccurate for any reason and the result thereof is that the Lenders received interest for any period based on an Applicable Margin that is less than that which would have been applicable had the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio been accurately determined, then, for all purposes of this Agreement, the “Applicable Margin” for any day occurring within the period covered by such Quarterly Pricing Certificate shall retroactively be deemed to be the relevant percentage as based upon the accurately determined Senior Secured Leverage Ratio for such period, and any shortfall in the interest theretofore paid by the Borrower for the relevant period pursuant to Section 2.08(a) and (b) as a result of the miscalculation of the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to be (and shall be) due and payable under the relevant provisions of Section 2.08(a) or (b), as applicable, at the time the interest for such period was required to be paid pursuant to said Section on the same basis as if the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio had been accurately set forth in such Quarterly Pricing Certificate (and shall remain due and payable until paid in full, together with all amounts owing under Section 2.08(d), in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).  Such Applicable Margin shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 and (ii) promptly upon written demand to the Borrower (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after such written demand); provided that in the case of preceding clause (ii), nonpayment of such Applicable Margin as a result of any inaccuracy shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default (whether retroactively or otherwise), and no such amounts shall be deemed overdue (and no amounts shall accrue interest at the applicable default rate), at any time prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after such written demand to the Borrower.

 

The Applicable Margins with respect to any Term Loans other than Initial Term Loans, Revolving Loans other than Initial Revolving Loans, Incremental Tranche A Revolving Loans, Incremental Tranche B Revolving Loans and Extended Initial Revolving Loans and Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitments attributable to Revolving Loan Commitments other than the Initial Revolving Loan Commitments, Incremental Tranche A Revolving Loan Commitments, Incremental Tranche B Revolving Loan Commitments and Extended Initial Revolving Loan Commitments, shall in each case be determined in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Agreement, and shall utilize the rules provided above to the extent specified in the respective Incremental Amendment, Extension or Refinancing Amendment, as applicable.”

 

(ii)                                  The definition of “Class” contained in Section 1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the text “Extended Initial Revolving Loans,” immediately after the text “Incremental Tranche B Revolving Loans,” appearing therein.

 

(iii)                               The definition of “Commitment” contained in Section 1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the text “an Extended Initial Revolving Loan Commitment,”

(v)                                 The definition of “Maturity Date” contained in Section 1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (A) deleting the text “or” immediately prior to the text “the Incremental Tranche B Revolving Loan Maturity Date” appearing therein and (B) inserting the text “, or the Extended Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date” immediately after the text “the Incremental Tranche B Revolving Loan Maturity Date” appearing therein.

 

(vi)                              The definition of “Revolving Loan Commitments” contained in Section 1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the text “, Extended Initial Revolving Loan Commitment” immediately after the text “Incremental Tranche B Revolving Loan Commitment” appearing therein.

 

(vii)                           Section 1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby further amended by inserting the following definitions in the appropriate alphabetical order:

 

“Extended Initial Letter of Credit Commitment” shall mean the Initial Letter of Credit Commitment of each Issuing Lender that is extended on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date pursuant to the terms of the Fourth Amendment (as the same may be reduced pursuant to Section 3.02(b) hereof).

 

“Extended Initial Revolving Loan Commitment” shall mean, for each Lender party to Fourth Amendment, the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name on Schedule 1.01(b) directly below the column entitled “Extended Initial Revolving Loan Commitment,” as the same may from time to time be (x) reduced or terminated pursuant hereto, (y) increased (but only with the consent of the respective Lender) in accordance with the terms hereof or (z) adjusted as a result of assignments to or from such Lender pursuant hereto.

 

“Extended Initial Revolving Loan Maturity Date” shall mean April 23, 2021.

 

“Extended Initial Revolving Loans” shall mean all Revolving Loans made from time to time pursuant to the Extended Initial Revolving Loan Commitments.

(ix)                              Section 3.02(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (A) replacing each reference in clause (i) thereof to “Initial Revolving Loan Commitments” with a reference to “Extended Initial Revolving Loan Commitments” and (B) replacing each reference in clause (i) thereof to “Initial Letter of Credit Commitments” with a reference to “Extended Initial Letter of Credit Commitments”.
