• Revolving Loan Facility On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to advance to the Borrower from time to time during the period beginning on the Effective Date up to, but not including the Termination Date, such loans in Dollars as the Borrower may request under this Section 2.01(b) (individually, a “Revolving Loan”); provided, however, that (i) the sum of (A) the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans made by such Lender at any time outstanding and (B) such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations and all Swing Line Loans at any time outstanding shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment at such time and (ii) the sum of (A) the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans made by all of the Revolving Lenders at any time outstanding and (B) the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans at any time outstanding shall not exceed the Revolving Loan Facility at such time. All Revolving Loans shall be made on a pro rata basis by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Proportionate Shares, with each Revolving Loan Borrowing to be comprised of a Revolving Loan by each Revolving Lender equal to such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of such Revolving Loan Borrowing. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans until the Termination Date in respect of the Revolving Loan Facility.

• Revolving Loan Commitment Each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment agrees to make loans on a revolving basis (“Revolving Loans”) from time to time until the Termination Date in such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such aggregate amounts as the Company may request from all Lenders; provided that the Revolving Outstandings will not at any time exceed Revolving Loan Availability.

• Revolving Loan Commitments (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender, severally and not jointly, shall (i) make Revolving Loans (other than Revolving LC Loans) to the Borrower during the Revolving Loan Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount not in excess of such Revolving Lender’s Available Revolving Loan Commitment and (ii) participate in the issuance of any Revolving LCs (and any drawings of the Revolving LC Available Amounts thereunder) from time to time during the Revolving Loan Availability Period in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not in excess of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment. (b) After giving effect to the making of any Revolving Loans (other than Revolving LC Loans), the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans shall not exceed the Available Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment at such time. (c) Each Revolving Loan Borrowing shall be in an amount specified in a Borrowing Notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.7. (d) Proceeds of the Revolving Loans (other than Revolving LC Loans which shall be used to repay the Revolving LC Issuing Bank for Revolving LC Disbursements) shall be used solely for (i) the payment of transaction fees and expenses, (ii) payment of gas purchase, hedging, transportation, balancing and storage costs and expenses (including to meet credit support requirements under gas purchase, hedging, transportation, balancing or storage agreements), (iii) to provide credit support as may be required from time to time under Project-related agreements on behalf of the Borrower or the RG Facility Entities, (iv) to fund in cash or to issue Revolving LCs to satisfy the DSRA Reserve Amount in respect of any Senior Secured Debt Instrument, and (v) other working capital and other general corporate purposes. (e) Revolving Loans repaid or prepaid may be re-borrowed at any time and from time to time until the expiration of the Revolving Loan Availability Period.

• Increase in Revolving Credit Commitments (i) Provided there exists no Default or Event of Default and subject to the conditions set forth under clause (v) below, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), Borrower may from time to time request an increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, that (A) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (1) the Aggregate Maximum Revolving Credit Amounts after adjustments resulting from reductions thereof pursuant to Section 2.03(d) and (2) the then effective Borrowing Base, and (B) such increase of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. At the time of sending such notice, Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders). (ii) Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Percentage Share of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment. (iii) The Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of the Lenders’ responses to the request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), Borrower may also invite additional Persons to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel. (iv) If the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and Borrower shall determine the effective date (such date, the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) notify Borrower of the final allocation of such increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Increase Effective Date, and (ii) notify each Lender of its Revolving Credit Commitment as of the Increase Effective Date. (v) As a condition precedent to such increase, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Obligor dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of such Obligor (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Obligor approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article VII and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.03(b), the representations and warranties contained in Section 7.02 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 8.01, (B) no Default or Event of Default exists, and (C) no Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred. To the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans ratable with any revised Percentage Shares of the Lenders arising from any nonratable increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment under this Section, Borrower shall prepay Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date and/or Lenders shall make assignments pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (provided, that in each case, Borrower shall pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 5.05). (vi) This Section shall supersede any provisions in Sections 4.05 or 12.04 to the contrary.

• Increase in Revolving Commitments (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request that the total Revolving Commitment be increased by an aggregate amount not to exceed the Incremental Revolving Facility Amount at such time. Upon the receipt of such request by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy thereof to each Revolving Lender. Such notice shall set forth the amount of the requested increase (which shall be in minimum increments of $500,000 and a minimum amount of $2,500,000 or equal to the remaining Incremental Revolving Facility Amount) and the date on which such increase is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice and which, in any event, must be prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date), and shall offer each Revolving Lender the opportunity to increase its Revolving Commitment by its Pro Rata Percentage of the proposed increased amount. Each Revolving Lender shall, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent given not more than 10 days after the date of the Administrative Agent’s notice, either agree to increase its Revolving Commitment by all or a portion of the offered amount (each Revolving Lender so agreeing being an “Increasing Revolving Lender”) or decline to increase its Revolving Commitment (and any Revolving Lender that does not deliver such a notice within such period of 10 days shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Commitment) (each Revolving Lender so declining or being deemed to have declined being a Non-Increasing Revolving Lender”). In the event that, on the 10th day after the Administrative Agent shall have delivered a notice pursuant to the second sentence of this paragraph, the Increasing Revolving Lenders shall have agreed pursuant to the preceding sentence to increase their Revolving Commitments by an aggregate amount less than the increase requested by the Borrower, such Borrower may arrange for one or more banks or other entities (any such bank or other entity being called an “Augmenting Revolving Lender”), which may include any Lender, to extend Revolving Commitments or increase their existing Revolving Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to the unsubscribed amount; provided, however, that each Augmenting Revolving Lender shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Borrower and each Augmenting Revolving Lender shall execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence its Revolving Commitment and/or its status as a Revolving Lender hereunder, Any such increase may be made in an amount that is less than the increase requested by the Borrower if such Borrower is unable to arrange for, or chooses not to arrange for, Augmenting Revolving Lenders. (b) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower, take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that after giving effect to any increase pursuant to this Section 2.25, the outstanding Revolving Loans (if any) are held by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their new Pro Rata Percentages. This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, following consultation with the Borrower, (i) by requiring the outstanding Revolving Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of a new Revolving Borrowing, (ii) by causing Non-Increasing Revolving Lenders to assign portions of their outstanding Revolving Loans to Increasing Revolving Lenders and/or Augmenting Revolving Lenders, or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing. Any prepayment or assignment described in this paragraph (b) shall be subject to Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Revolving Commitments shall become effective under this Section 2.25 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of Section 4.01 shall be satisfied (treating the effectiveness of the increase in the Revolving Commitments as a “Credit Event” for such purposes) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower, and (ii) if requested, the Administrative Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.02.

• Term Loan Commitment As to each Term Loan Lender, the amount equal to such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans from time to time outstanding to the Borrower.

• The Revolving Credit Facility On the terms and conditions set forth in the MLA and this Supplement, CoBank agrees to make loans to the Company during the period set forth below in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed, at any one time outstanding, the lesser of $25,000,000.00 (the “Commitment”), or the “Borrowing Base” (as calculated pursuant to the Borrowing Base Report attached hereto as Exhibit A). Within the limits of the Commitment, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow.

• Term Loan Commitments Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (the “Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in such principal amount as the Borrower shall request up to, but not exceeding such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment.

• Swing Loan Commitment (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Swing Loan Lender agrees to lend to the Borrower (the “Swing Loans”), and the Borrower may borrow (and repay and reborrow) in Dollars only, from time to time between the Closing Date and the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date upon notice by the Borrower to the Swing Loan Lender given in accordance with this §2.5, such sums as are requested by the Borrower for the purposes set forth in §2.9 in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not exceeding the Swing Loan Commitment; provided that in all events (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the Outstanding U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loans, Outstanding Swing Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested), Outstanding Bid Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not at any time exceed the Total U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment; and (iii) the Dollar Equivalent of the Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (including the Alternative Currency/Dollar Revolving Credit Loans), Outstanding Term Loans, Outstanding Swing Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested), Outstanding Bid Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities, shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (A) the Total Commitment, or (B) the Unencumbered Asset Pool Availability. Swing Loans shall constitute “Revolving Credit Loans” for all purposes hereunder and whenever any calculation under this Agreement requires adding Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Outstanding Swing Loans, such calculation shall be made without duplication. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this §2.5, the Swing Loan Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Loan at a time when any other U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Swing Loan Lender is satisfied that the participation therein will otherwise be fully allocated to the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders consistent with §2.14(c) and the Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein, except to the extent the Swing Loan Lender has entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender that are satisfactory to the Swing Loan Lender in its good faith determination to eliminate the Swing Loan Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any such Defaulting Lender, including the delivery of cash collateral. The funding of a Swing Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the conditions set forth in §10 and §11 have been satisfied on the date of such funding. The Swing Loan Lender may assume that the conditions in §10 and §11 have been satisfied unless Swing Loan Lender has received written notice from a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. Each Swing Loan shall be due and payable within five (5) Business Days of the date such Swing Loan was provided and the Borrower hereby agrees (to the extent not repaid as contemplated by §2.5(d) below) to repay each Swing Loan on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days from the date such Swing Loan was provided. (b) The Swing Loans shall be evidenced by a separate promissory note of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto (the “Swing Loan Note”), dated the date of this Agreement and completed with appropriate insertions (except as provided in §2.11). The Swing Loan Note shall be payable to the order of the Swing Loan Lender in the principal face amount equal to the Swing Loan Commitment and shall be payable as set forth below. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swing Loan Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Swing Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal thereof, an appropriate notation on the Swing Loan Lender’s Record reflecting the making of such Swing Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Swing Loans set forth on the Swing Loan Lender’s Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to the Swing Loan Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on the Swing Loan Lender’s Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Swing Loan Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Swing Loan Note when due. (c) The Borrower shall request a Swing Loan by delivering to the Swing Loan Lender a Loan Request executed by an Authorized Officer no later than 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) on the requested Drawdown Date specifying the amount of the requested Swing Loan (which shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000.00) and providing the wire instructions for the delivery of the Swing Loan proceeds. The Loan Request shall also contain the statements and certifications required by §2.7(i) and (ii). Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept such Swing Loan on the Drawdown Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and shall bear interest at the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate, or (ii) the Base Rate plus, in each case, the Revolving Credit Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans. The proceeds of the Swing Loan will be disbursed by wire by the Swing Loan Lender to the Borrower no later than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time). (d) The Swing Loan Lender shall, within two (2) Business Days after the Drawdown Date with respect to such Swing Loan, request each U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender, including the Swing Loan Lender, to make a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.1 in an amount equal to such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of the Swing Loan outstanding on the date such notice is given. In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent in writing otherwise on or before noon (Cleveland Time) of the second (2nd) Business Day after the Drawdown Date with respect to such Swing Loan, Agent shall notify the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders that such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan shall be a Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month, provided that the making of such Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan will not be in contravention of any other provision of this Agreement, or if the making of a Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan would be in contravention of this Agreement, then such notice shall indicate that such loan shall be a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Swing Loan Lender to so act on its behalf, and agrees that any amount advanced to the Agent for the benefit of the Swing Loan Lender pursuant to this §2.5(d) shall be considered a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.1. Unless any of the events described in paragraph (h), (i) or (j) of §12.1 shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of §2.5(e) shall apply), each U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall make the proceeds of its U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan available to the Swing Loan Lender for the account of the Swing Loan Lender at the Agent’s Head Office prior to 12:00 noon (Cleveland time) in funds immediately available no later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the date such notice is given just as if the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders were funding directly to the Borrower, so that thereafter such Obligations shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes (U.S. Dollar). The proceeds of such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan shall be immediately applied to repay the Swing Loans. (e) If for any reason a Swing Loan cannot be refinanced by a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.5(d), each U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender will, on the date such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.5(d) was to have been made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the Swing Loan in an amount equal to its U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Swing Loan. Each U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender will immediately transfer to the Swing Loan Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swing Loan Lender will deliver to such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender a Swing Loan participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount. (f) Whenever at any time after the Swing Loan Lender has received from any U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s participation interest in a Swing Loan, the Swing Loan Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swing Loan Lender will distribute to such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender its participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Loan Lender is required to be returned, such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Swing Loan Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Loan Lender to it. (g) Each U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to fund a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan as provided in §2.5(d) or to purchase participation interests pursuant to §2.5(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender or the Borrower or Guarantors may have against the Swing Loan Lender, the Borrower or Guarantors or anyone else for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by the Borrower, Guarantors or any Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Any portions of a Swing Loan not so purchased or converted may be treated by the Agent and Swing Loan Lender as against such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender as a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan which was not funded by the non-purchasing U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender as contemplated by §2.8 and §12.5, and shall have such rights and remedies against such U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender as are set forth in this Agreement. Each Swing Loan, once so sold or converted, shall cease to be a Swing Loan for the purposes of this Agreement, but shall be a U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Loan made by each U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Lender under its U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment.

• Revolving Credit Facility (a) The Revolving Credit Lenders grant to the Borrower a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) pursuant to which, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth: (i) each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Credit Ratable Loans to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.2; (ii) each Revolving Credit Lender may, in its sole discretion, make bids to make Competitive Bid Loans to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.3; and (iii) the Swing Line Lender agrees to make Swing Line Advances to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.19. (b) The Revolving Credit Facility shall be subject to the following limitations: (i) In no event shall the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Credit Advances (including Revolving Credit Ratable Advances, Competitive Bid Advances and Swing Line Advances) plus (ii) the Facility Letter of Credit Obligations exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment. (ii) In no event shall the outstanding principal amount of all outstanding Competitive Bid Advances exceed the Competitive Bid Sublimit. (iii) In no event shall the outstanding principal amount of all outstanding Swing Line Advances exceed the Swing Line Commitment. (c) Subject to the terms hereof, the Revolving Credit Facility is available from the date hereof to the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date and, upon the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date, the Revolving Credit Commitments to lend hereunder shall expire. The Revolving Credit Commitment of a Revolving Credit Declining Lender shall expire on its Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s Termination Date unless prior thereto such Revolving Credit Declining Lender elects, with the approval of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to extend its Revolving Credit Commitment to the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date, which election and approval shall be evidenced by a written instrument in a form reasonably acceptable to and executed by such Revolving Credit Declining Lender, the Borrower, the Company and the Administrative Agent. Upon the execution and delivery of such written instrument, such Revolving Credit Lender shall cease to be a Revolving Credit Declining Lender. (d) Any outstanding Revolving Credit Advances and all other unpaid Revolving Credit Obligations shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date (except to the extent that, pursuant to Article IV, Facility Letters of Credit are permitted to have an expiration date later than the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date). All outstanding Revolving Credit Loans held by, and all other unpaid Revolving Credit Obligations payable to, a Revolving Credit Declining Lender shall be paid in full by the Borrower on its Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s Termination Date.
