To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), ODEC shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by such Issuing Lender) to such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (no less than three (3) Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) an Issuance Notice signed by ODEC.

A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit ODEC shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the aggregate LC Exposure of the Issuing Lenders (determined for these purposes without giving effect to the participations therein of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.04(e)) shall not exceed $150,000,000, (ii) the aggregate LC Exposure of each Issuing Lender shall not exceed its Issuing Lender Sublimit and (iii) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Competitive Loans shall not exceed the total Commitments.

(e)Participations.

drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of any Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments.

In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of such Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender promptly upon the request of such Issuing Lender at any time, plus interest thereon from the date of such request to the date such amount is funded by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by such Issuing Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Issuing Lender in connection with the foregoing. Such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each such payment shall be made in the same manner as provided in Section 2.05 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.05 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from ODEC pursuant to the next following paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to such Issuing Lender or, to the extent that the Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Lender for any LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve ODEC of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f)Reimbursement. If an Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, ODEC shall reimburse such Issuing Lender in respect of such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon on (i) the Business Day that ODEC receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m. or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that ODEC receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time, provided that ODEC may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or, if a Swingline Loan in the amount of such LC Disbursement will not cause the aggregate amount of outstanding Swingline Loans to exceed the amount that may be outstanding at any one time pursuant to Section 2.19(a), Section 2.19, that such payment shall be financed with a Syndicated Base Rate Borrowing or a Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, ODEC’s obligation to make such payment in reimbursement of the LC Disbursement shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Syndicated Base Rate Borrowing or Swingline Loan Borrowing.

If ODEC fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from ODEC in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.

(g)Obligations Absolute. ODEC’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.04(f) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, or any term or provision therein, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply strictly with the terms of such Letter of Credit, and (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of ODEC’s obligations hereunder.

Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Lender, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit by such Issuing Lender or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such Issuing Lender from liability to ODEC to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential or exemplary damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by ODEC to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by ODEC that are caused by such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that:

(i)such Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(ii)such Issuing Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

(iii)this Section 2.04(g) shall establish the standard of care to be exercised by the Issuing Lenders when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof (and the parties hereto hereby waive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any standard of care inconsistent with the foregoing).

(h)Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Lender shall promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a

Letter of Credit. The Issuing Lender shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and ODEC by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Lender has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve ODEC of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(i)Interim Interest. If any Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless ODEC shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that ODEC reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Syndicated Base Rate Loans; provided that, if ODEC fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.04(f), then Section 2.11(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for account of the applicable Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(f) to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender shall be for account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(j)Replacement of an Issuing Lender.

(i)An Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement between ODEC and the successor Issuing Lender and following notice to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of such Issuing Lender.

(ii)At the time any such replacement shall become effective, ODEC shall pay all unpaid fees and expenses accrued for account of the replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(b).

(k)Cash Collateralization. If any of (i) an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and ODEC receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing more than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph (provided that no notice or demand shall be required upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to ODEC described in clauses (h) and (i) of Article VII), (ii) any LC Exposure for any reason remains outstanding as of the Maturity Date or any earlier date of termination of all of the Commitments hereunder, (iii) ODEC shall be required to provide cover

for the LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.09(b), or (iv) at any time there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, then (A) in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, ODEC shall immediately Cash Collateralize in an amount equal to, in the case of clause (i) above, the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and, in the case of clause (iii) above, the amount required under Section 2.09(b), and (B) in the case of clause (iv) above, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) ODEC shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Sections 2.17 and 2.18 and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(i)Grant of Security Interest. ODEC, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral (including any associated deposit or security account and any financial assets (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York) or other property held therein) as security for the LC Exposure under this Agreement or the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Fronting Exposure, to be applied pursuant to clause (ii) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the amount required by this Section 2.04(k), ODEC will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(ii)Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.04(k) or Section 2.18 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the LC Exposure or the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Fronting Exposure (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(iii)Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral provided upon an Event of Default or pursuant to Section 2.09(b) shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.04(k) following the earlier of the satisfaction, waiver or cure of all Events of Default or the termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit, as applicable. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.04(k) following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable

Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.18 the Person providing Cash Collateral and each Issuing Lender may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

The Administrative Agent shall invest the Cash Collateral from time to time held by it in such overnight U.S. treasury or similar short-term instruments as are selected by ODEC and approved by the Administrative Agent, and shall maintain records adequate to determine the interest from time to time earned thereon. The Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for any loss on any investments made by it with respect to the Cash Collateral. Interest and profits on investments will be credited to and, except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.04, retained as Cash Collateral.

Section 2.05Funding of Borrowings.

(a)Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.19. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to ODEC by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of ODEC designated by ODEC in the applicable Borrowing Request or, in the case of Competitive Loans, designated in the applicable Competitive Loan Quote Request pursuant to Section 2.20(c); provided that Syndicated Base Rate Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.04(f) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Lender.

(b)Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing (other than a Competitive Loan) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to ODEC a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and ODEC severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to ODEC to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) in the case of ODEC, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If each of ODEC and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to ODEC the amount of such interest paid by ODEC for such period. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent has no obligation to make any Loan funds available to ODEC unless the Administrative Agent has received such funds from the Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof. Any payment by

ODEC shall be without prejudice to any claim ODEC may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(c)Payments by ODEC; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from ODEC prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders hereunder that ODEC will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that ODEC has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if ODEC has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

Section 2.06Interest Elections.

(a)Elections by ODEC for Syndicated Borrowings. The Loans constituting each Syndicated Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a LIBOR Rate Borrowing, shall have the Interest Period specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, ODEC may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of the same Type and, in the case of a LIBOR Rate Borrowing, may elect the Interest Period therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.06. ODEC may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans constituting such Borrowing, and the Loans constituting each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section 2.06 shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings or Competitive Loans, which may not be converted or continued.

(b)Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.06, ODEC shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election in writing by hand delivery, by telecopy or by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if ODEC were requesting a Syndicated Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by ODEC.

(c)Content of Interest Election Requests. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i)the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) of this paragraph shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii)the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii)whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a LIBOR Rate Borrowing; and

(iv)if the resulting Borrowing is a LIBOR Rate Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period’” and permitted under Section 2.02(d).

(d)Notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e)Failure to Elect: Events of Default. If ODEC fails to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election Request with respect to a LIBOR Rate Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Syndicated Base Rate Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies ODEC, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Syndicated Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a LIBOR Rate Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each LIBOR Rate Borrowing shall be converted to a Syndicated Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period therefor.

Section 2.07Termination and Reduction of the Commitments.

(a)Scheduled Termination. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b)Voluntary Termination or Reduction. ODEC may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be in an amount that is $25,000,000 or a larger multiple of $5,000,000 and (ii) ODEC shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Syndicated Loans and Swingline Loans in accordance with Section 2.09, the sum of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures and the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Competitive Loans would exceed the total Commitments.

(c)Notice of Voluntary Termination or Reduction. ODEC shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under Section 2.07(b) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by ODEC pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by ODEC may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by

ODEC (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(d)Mandatory Reduction. The Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced in the manner, and under the circumstances contemplated by, Section 2.09(b).

(e)Effect of Termination or Reduction. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

Section 2.08Repayment of Loans: Evidence of Debt.

(a)Repayment. ODEC hereby unconditionally promises to pay the Loans as follows:

(i)to the Administrative Agent (x) for account of the Lenders, the outstanding principal amount of the Syndicated Loans on the Maturity Date and (y) for the account of the applicable Lender, the outstanding principal amount of each Competitive Loan made by such Lender on the maturity date of such Competitive Loan, and

(ii)to the Swingline Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the date that is the tenth Business Day after the date such Swingline Loan is made.

Unless otherwise specified herein or in any other Loan Document, all Obligations shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

(b)Manner of Payment. Prior to any repayment or prepayment of any Borrowings hereunder, ODEC shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be paid and shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing (i) not later than 11:00 a.m. at least one (1) Business Day before the scheduled date of the prepayment of any Base Rate Borrowing or repayment of any Borrowing, or (ii) not later than 11:00 a.m. at least three (3) Business Days’ before the scheduled date of the prepayment of any LIBOR Rate Borrowing. If ODEC fails to make a timely selection of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid or prepaid, such payment shall be applied, first, to pay any outstanding Base Rate Borrowings, second, to the LIBOR Rate Borrowings (other than Competitive Loan Borrowings) in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the LIBOR Rate Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first), and third, to Competitive Loan Borrowings in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Competitive Loan Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first). Each payment of a Syndicated Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such Borrowing.

(c)Maintenance of Records by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice records evidencing the indebtedness of ODEC to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(d)Maintenance of Records by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and each Interest Period therefor, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from ODEC to each Lender hereunder, (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof, and (iv) the Competitive Loan Rate for each Competitive Loan, if applicable.

(e)Effect of Entries. The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to Section 2.08(c) or 2.08(d) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of ODEC to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(f)Promissory Notes. Any Lender may request that Syndicated Loans made by it be evidenced by a Note. In such event, ODEC shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns). Thereafter, the Syndicated Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more Notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such Note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). The Swingline Lender may similarly request that Swingline Loans made by it be evidenced by a Note, but conformed to evidence Swingline Loans rather than Syndicated Loans, in which case the preceding sentence shall, mutatis mutandis, be applicable to Swingline Loans. The Lender of a Competitive Loan may request that the Competitive Loan made by it be evidenced by a promissory note that shall be in the form of Exhibit I.

Section 2.09Prepayment of Loans.

(a)Optional Prepayments. ODEC may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Syndicated Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Syndicated LIBOR Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Syndicated Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Syndicated Loans to be prepaid and, if Syndicated LIBOR Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by ODEC, ODEC shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Syndicated LIBOR Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.14. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Syndicated Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

(b)Mandatory Prepayments. ODEC shall prepay the Loans (and, in the case of clause (i) below, the Commitments shall be subject to automatic termination) as follows:

(i)Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of ODEC, unless the Required Lenders shall (through the Administrative Agent) elect otherwise, ODEC shall prepay the entire principal of and interest on the Loans (and procure the termination of any outstanding Letters of Credit and, pending such termination, provide cover for the entire amount of LC Exposure as specified in Section 2.04(k)), and the entire amount of the Commitments shall be automatically terminated.

(ii)If the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures and the total outstanding Competitive Loans exceed the total Commitments, ODEC shall prepay the Loans in an amount sufficient to result in the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures and the total outstanding Competitive Loans being equal to the total Commitments.

(c)Notices, Etc. ODEC shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Syndicated Base Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m. one (1) Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon on the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.07, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.07. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Syndicated Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Syndicated Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Syndicated Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.11 and shall be made in the manner specified in Section 2.08(b).

Section 2.10Fees.

(a)Commitment Fee. Except as otherwise provided herein, ODEC agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Lender, based upon their respective Commitments, a Commitment Fee, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on the average daily amount of the unused Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the date hereof to but excluding the earlier of the date such Commitment terminates and the Maturity Date. Swingline Loans and Competitive Loans (other than with respect to the Lender making the Competitive Loan) shall not be deemed to be used for

purposes of calculating the Commitment Fee. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable on each Quarterly Date and on the earlier of the date the Commitments terminate and the Maturity Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b)Letter of Credit Fees. ODEC agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender a participation fee (such fee, the “LC Fee”) with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on LIBOR Rate Loans on the average daily amount of all outstanding Letter of Credit (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, provided, however, any LC Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.18 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.18, with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account, and (ii) to each Issuing Lender a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate per annum separately agreed to between such Issuing Lender and ODEC on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as each such Issuing Lenders’ standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including each Quarterly Date shall be payable on such Quarterly Date, commencing on the first such Quarterly Date to occur after the Effective Date, with exclusions for Defaulting Lenders; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Lenders pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c)Administrative Agent Fees. ODEC agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between ODEC and the Administrative Agent.

(d)Lead Arranger Fees. ODEC agrees to pay to each Lead Arranger, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between ODEC and such Lead Arranger.

(e)Payment of Fees. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Lenders, in

the case of fees payable to them) for distribution, in the case of Commitment Fees and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.11Interest.

(a)Base Rate Loans. The Loans constituting each Base Rate Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b)LIBOR Rate Loans. The Loans constituting each LIBOR Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c)Competitive Loans. Each Competitive Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to either (i) in the case of a Competitive Fixed Rate Loan, the Fixed Rate specified in the applicable Competitive Loan Quote, or (ii) in the case of a Competitive LIBOR Rate Loan, the sum of the Competitive LIBOR Margin specified in the applicable Competitive Loan Quote, plus the applicable LIBOR Rate determined for the applicable Interest Period.

(d)Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by ODEC hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, the principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, due and unpaid interest on the Loans and any other amounts outstanding hereunder and under any other Loan Document shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided above or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans as provided in Section 2.11(a).

(e)Payment of Interest. ODEC hereby unconditionally promises to pay accrued interest on each Loan in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Syndicated Loans, upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.11(d) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a Syndicated Base Rate Loan prior to the Maturity Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any LIBOR Rate Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(f)Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Base Rate or LIBOR Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Competitive Loan Rate shall be as specified in the applicable Competitive Loan Quote.

(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to ODEC. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

Section 2.12Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of the Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Borrowing:

(a)the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b)the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their respective Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to ODEC and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies ODEC and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Syndicated Borrowing to, or the continuation of any Syndicated Borrowing as, a LIBOR Rate Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Syndicated Borrowing (unless prepaid) shall be continued as, or converted to, a Syndicated Base Rate Borrowing and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a LIBOR Rate Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Syndicated Base Rate Borrowing.

Section 2.13Increased Costs.

(a)Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate) or any Issuing Lender; or

(ii)subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes or Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Rate Loans or Competitive Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan or Competitive Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such LIBOR Rate Loan or Competitive Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, Issuing Lender or other recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, Issuing Lender or such other Recipient, ODEC will pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)Capital Requirements. If any Lender or Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time ODEC will pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to ODEC, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. ODEC shall pay such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.13, a Lender shall not be entitled to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13 if the Change in Law that would otherwise entitle it to such compensation shall have been publicly announced prior to submission of the Competitive Loan Quote pursuant to which the applicable Competitive Loan was made.

(d)Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that ODEC shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased

costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies ODEC of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 2.14Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan or Competitive Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.09(c) and is revoked in accordance herewith) or the failure to borrow or repay any Competitive Loan on the applicable date, or (d) the assignment as a result of a request by ODEC pursuant to Section 2.17(b) of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, then, in any such event, ODEC shall compensate each applicable Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event.

In the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan or Competitive LIBOR Rate Loan , the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be received by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for Dollar deposits from other banks in the eurodollar market at the commencement of such period.

A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to ODEC and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. ODEC shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.15Taxes.

(a)For purposes of this Section 2.15, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of ODEC under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding

Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by ODEC shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c)Payment of Other Taxes by ODEC. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, ODEC shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or at the option of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d)Indemnification by ODEC. ODEC shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to ODEC by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that ODEC has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of ODEC to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by ODEC to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.15, ODEC shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Lender for which such Lender has been indemnified in full by ODEC prior to making payment thereof pursuant to Section 2.15(d), such Lender shall

deliver to ODEC the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the applicable Governmental Authority evidencing such payment.

(g)Status of Lenders.

(i)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to ODEC and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law or reasonably requested by ODEC or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by ODEC or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by ODEC or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by ODEC or the Administrative Agent as will enable ODEC or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.15(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to ODEC and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of ODEC or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent that it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to ODEC and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of ODEC or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other

applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption, or reduction of, from U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(ii)executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iii)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code or Other Applicable U.S. Tax Law, a “10 percent shareholder” of ODEC within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or Other Applicable U.S. Tax Law, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code or Other Applicable U.S. Tax Law (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable); or

(iv)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) (or, in each case, applicable successor forms), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-2 or Exhibit L-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable, in each case, evidencing an exemption from or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-4 together with executed original copies of the forms referenced therein, on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to ODEC and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of ODEC or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming an exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit ODEC or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D)if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA

(including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to ODEC and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by ODEC or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code or Other Applicable U.S. Tax Law) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by ODEC or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for ODEC and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify ODEC and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so

(h)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund, of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to Section 2.13 or this Section 2.15 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.21(b)), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under Section 2.13 or this Section 2.15 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph (h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 2.16Payments Generally: Pro Rata Treatment: Sharing of Set-Offs.

(a)Payments by ODEC. ODEC shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15, or otherwise) or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) prior to 12:00 noon on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent in such manner and place as shall from time to time be specified by the Administrative Agent, except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Loan Document and except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and payments pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03, which shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) shall be made in Dollars.

(b)Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay all fees, expense reimbursements, indemnities and all other sums due and payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent and not as a Lender hereunder, (ii) second, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (iii) third, to pay principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c)Pro Rata Treatment of Syndicated Borrowings; Treatment of Competitive Loans. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Syndicated Borrowing shall be made from the Lenders, each payment of Commitment Fees under Section 2.10 shall be made for account of the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments under Section 2.07 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (ii) each Syndicated Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (in the case of the making of Syndicated Loans) or their respective Loans that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Syndicated Loans by ODEC shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Syndicated Loans held by them; and (iv) each payment of interest on Syndicated Loans by ODEC shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders. Each payment or prepayment of principal and interest of each Competitive Loan shall be made for the account of the applicable Lender.

(d)Sharing of Payments by Lenders. Except as provided in Section 5.10 with respect to CoBank Equities, if any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Syndicated Loans, participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans or Competitive Loans or in respect of any Commitment Fee or Letter of Credit participation fee (as contemplated by Section 2.10(b)(i) (collectively, the “Fees”) resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Syndicated Loans, participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans, Competitive Loans and accrued interest thereon or Fees then due than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (ii) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Syndicated Loans, participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans and Competitive Loans or Fees of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Syndicated Loans, participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans and Competitive Loans or Fees; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by ODEC pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to ODEC or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). ODEC consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against ODEC rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of ODEC in the amount of such participation.

(e)Presumptions of Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from ODEC prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders hereunder that ODEC will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that ODEC has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall have no obligation to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if ODEC has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

(f)Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(e), 2.05 or 2.16(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.17Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or requires ODEC to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall (at the request of ODEC) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. ODEC hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if ODEC is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.17(a) so as to eliminate the amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.15, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then ODEC may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i)ODEC shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 9.04;

(ii)such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.14 except in the case of a Defaulting Lender) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or ODEC (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv)such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and

(v)in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

(c)A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling ODEC to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.18Defaulting Lenders.

(a)Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i)Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.

(ii)Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.04; fourth, as ODEC may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and ODEC, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.04; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Lenders or Swingline Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to ODEC as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by ODEC against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise

directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Exposure and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.18(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)Certain Fees.

(A)No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and ODEC shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B)Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive LC Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.04.

(C)With respect to any Commitment Fee or LC Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, ODEC shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Fronting Exposure that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Lender’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv)Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Exposure and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Subject to

SectionSection 9.15, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v)Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, ODEC shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04.

(b)Defaulting Lender Cure. If ODEC, the Administrative Agent and each Swingline Lender and Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility (without giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of ODEC while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c)New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

Section 2.19Swingline Loans.

(a)Agreement to Make Swingline Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to ODEC from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lesser of (i) $50,000,000 and (ii) the unutilized Commitment of the Swingline Lender; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, ODEC may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b)Notice of Swingline Loans by ODEC. To request a Swingline Loan (other than borrowings pursuant to a Xxxxx Fargo financial management account or similar cash management product offered by Xxxxx Fargo, which shall be effected as provided thereunder), ODEC shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by hand delivery, by telecopy or by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of a Borrowing Request, not later than 11:00 a.m. on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to ODEC by means of a credit to the account of ODEC specified by ODEC to the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.04(f), by remittance to the Issuing Lender having made such LC Disbursement) by 3:00 p.m. on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(c)Refinancing of Swingline Loans.

(i)The Swingline Lender at any time in its sole discretion may request, on behalf of ODEC (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Syndicated Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Borrowing Request for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.03, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swingline Lender shall furnish ODEC with a copy of the applicable Borrowing Request promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Borrowing Request available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swingline Loan) for the account of the Swingline Lender at the Administrative Agent’s payment office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Borrowing Request, whereupon, subject to Section 2.19(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Syndicated Base Rate Loan to ODEC in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swingline Lender.

(ii)If for any reason any Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Syndicated Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.19(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swingline Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swingline Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swingline Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.19(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii)If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such

Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.19(c) by the time specified in Section 2.19(c)(i), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Swingline Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swingline Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Syndicated Base Rate Loan included in the relevant Borrowing Request or funded participation in the relevant Swingline Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv)Each Lender’s obligation to make Syndicated Base Rate Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.19(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swingline Lender, ODEC or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Syndicated Base Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 2.19(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of ODEC to repay Swingline Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d)Repayment of Participations.

(i)At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swingline Loan, if the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of such Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swingline Lender.

(ii)If any payment received by the Swingline Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swingline Loan is required to be returned by the Swingline Lender for any reason, each Lender shall pay to the Swingline Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swingline Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e)Interest for Account of Swingline Lender. The Swingline Lender shall be responsible for invoicing ODEC for interest on the Swingline Loans. Until each Lender funds its Syndicated Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.19 to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swingline Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swingline Lender.

(f)Payments Directly to Swingline Lender. ODEC shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swingline Loans directly to the Swingline Lender.

(g)Notice of Borrower Acceptance. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each quoting Lender by telecopy whether or not one or more of its Competitive Loan Quotes has been accepted (and, if so, the amount and Competitive Loan so accepted), and each successful bidder will thereupon become bound, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to make the Competitive Loan offered in the accepted Competitive Loan Quote.

(h)Quotes by the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent shall elect to submit a Competitive Loan Quote in its capacity as a Lender, it shall submit such Competitive Loan Quote directly to ODEC at least one quarter of an hour earlier than the time by which the other Lenders are required to submit their Competitive Loan Quotes to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.20(d).

Section 2.21Increase of Commitments; Additional Lenders.

(a)Increase of the Commitment.

(i)So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, ODEC may request the right to increase the Commitment (any such increase, a “Commitment Increase”), in an aggregate amount of up to $150,000,000 for all such Commitment Increases (the “Commitment Increase Cap”), during the term of this Agreement by delivering a Notice of Requested Commitment Increase to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit J (a “Notice of Requested Commitment Increase”). Each Notice of Requested Commitment Increase shall specify: (1) the amount of the proposed Commitment Increase and (2) the requested date of the proposed Commitment Increase (which shall be at least thirty (30) days from the date of delivery of the Notice of Requested Commitment Increase). Each Notice of Requested Commitment Increase shall be binding on ODEC. If the Administrative Agent approves a proposed Commitment Increase, the Administrative Agent shall

deliver a copy of the Notice of Requested Commitment Increase relating thereto to each Lender. Each Lender shall have the right for a period of fifteen (15) days following receipt of such Notice of Requested Commitment Increase, to elect by written notice to ODEC and the Administrative Agent to increase its Commitment by a principal amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount of the Commitment Increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment. No Lender (or any successor thereto) shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment or its other obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any decision by a Lender to increase its Commitment may be made in its sole discretion independently from any other Lender.

(ii)If any Lender shall not elect to increase its Commitment pursuant to clause (i) above, ODEC may designate another bank or other financial institution (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the existing Lenders) which at the time agrees to, in the case of any such Person that is an existing Lender, increase its Commitment and in the case of any other such Person (an “Additional Lender”), become a party to this Agreement; provided, however, that any new bank or financial institution must be acceptable to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender, which acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The sum of the increases in the Commitment of the existing Lenders plus the Commitment of the Additional Lenders shall not in the aggregate exceed the unsubscribed amount of the Commitment Increase.

(iii)Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) each Commitment Increase shall be in minimum increments of $25,000,000; (B) the proposed Commitment Increase shall have been consented to in writing by the Administrative Agent, each Lender (if any) who is increasing its Commitment and each Additional Lender; (C) the pricing and other terms applicable to the Commitment Increase shall be the same as those applicable to the existing Commitments; and (D) the proposed Commitment Increase, together with any prior Commitment Increase, shall not exceed the Commitment Increase Cap. Upon the effective date of any Commitment Increase, ODEC shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the chief financial officer of ODEC certifying that (i) no Default or Event of Default then exists or would be caused thereby; (ii) at the time of and after giving effect to any such Commitment Increase, all of the representations and warranties set forth in Article III are true and correct in all material respects (or if any such representation or warranty is qualified by materiality, true and correct in all respects), except to the extent that any such representation or warranty relates to a specified date, in which case any such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such specified date (or if any such representation or warranty relates to a specified date and is qualified by materiality, true in correct in all respects as of such specified date); and (iii) that the conditions set forth in clause (C) and (D) are satisfied. No Commitment Increase shall be effective until the Administrative Agent shall have received amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, commitments of Lenders or Additional Lenders in an aggregate amount equal to

such Commitment Increase, agreements for each Lender or Additional Lender committing to such Commitment Increase (each a “Lender Agreement”), any upfront fees to be paid to the Lenders committing to such Commitment Increase, and such opinion letters, Notes and such other agreements, documents and instruments requested by and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion evidencing and setting forth the conditions of such Commitment Increase.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Commitment Increase meeting the conditions set forth in Section 2.21(a) shall not require the consent of any Lender other than those Lenders, if any, which have agreed to increase their Commitment in connection with such Commitment Increase, shall not constitute an amendment, modification or waiver that is subject to Section 9.02 and shall be effective as of the later of (i) the date specified in the applicable Notice of Requested Commitment Increase and (ii) the date upon which the foregoing conditions shall have been satisfied.

(c)After giving effect to any Commitment Increase, the outstanding Loans may not be held pro rata in accordance with the Commitment. In order to remedy the foregoing, on the effective date of each Commitment Increase, ODEC shall prepay and the Lenders (including any Additional Lenders) shall make Loans to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, the Loans will be held by the Lenders (including any Additional Lenders) on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (after giving effect to such Commitment Increase). The LC Exposure and Swingline Exposure of each Lender shall automatically be revised to reflect the revised Applicable Percentages giving each to such Commitment Increase. Each Lender agrees to wire immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement as may be required by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and to execute any documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to effectuate such changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 9.04(a) and (b), the reallocations so made by each Lender whose Applicable Percentage has increased shall be deemed to be a purchase of a corresponding amount of the Revolving Loans of the Lender or Lenders whose Applicable Percentage have decreased and shall not be considered an assignment for purposes of Sections 9.04(a) and (b).

Section 2.22Termination of Commitments.

(a)Termination of Commitment. In addition to the rights of ODEC under Section 2.17(b), if any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13 or if ODEC is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 (and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.17(a) so as to eliminate the amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.15), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then ODEC may, at its sole expense, terminate in whole the Commitment (any such termination, a “Commitment Termination”) of such Lender (a “Noticed Lender”) by delivering a Notice of Commitment Termination to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit K (a “Notice of Commitment Termination”) but only to the extent, if a reallocation of the Loans and Fronting Exposure is required under Section 2.22(c), that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such termination (and, unless ODEC shall have otherwise

notified the Administrative Agent at such time, ODEC shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any other Lender to exceed such other Lender’s Commitment. Each Notice of Commitment Termination shall specify: (1) the Noticed Lender and the amount of the proposed Commitment Termination (which shall be the entire Commitment of such Noticed Lender), and (2) the requested date of the proposed Commitment Termination (which shall be at least ten (10) days from the date of delivery of the Notice of Commitment Termination). Each Notice of Commitment Termination shall be irrevocable and binding on ODEC. No Commitment Termination shall be effective until the Administrative Agent shall have received any opinion letters, and other agreements, documents and instruments requested by and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion evidencing and setting forth the conditions of such Commitment Termination.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Commitment Termination meeting the conditions set forth in Section 2.22(a) shall not require the consent of any Lender, shall not constitute an amendment, modification or waiver that is subject to Section 9.02 and shall be effective as of the later of (i) the date specified in the applicable Notice of Commitment Termination and (ii) the date upon which the foregoing conditions shall have been satisfied.

(c)After giving effect to any Commitment Termination, the outstanding Loans may not be held pro rata in accordance with the Commitment. In order to remedy the foregoing, on the effective date of each Commitment Termination, ODEC shall prepay and the Lenders (including any Additional Lenders) shall make Loans to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, the Loans will be held by the Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (after giving effect to such Commitment Termination). The LC Exposure and Swingline Exposure of each Lender shall automatically be revised to reflect the revised Applicable Percentages giving each to such Commitment Increase. Each Lender agrees to wire immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement as may be required by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing (such that the Noticed Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.14 except in the case of a Defaulting Lender) from the other Lenders (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or ODEC (in the case of all other amounts)), and to execute any documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to effectuate such changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 9.04(a) and (b), the reallocations so made by each Lender whose Applicable Percentage has increased or decreased shall not be considered an assignment for purposes of Sections 9.04(a) and (b). The termination of a Defaulting Lender’s Commitment shall not relieve such Defaulting Lender of any liability to ODEC for any default hereunder.

Section 2.23Extension of Maturity Date.

(a)Requests for Extension. ODEC may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) not earlier than 60 days and not later than 45 days prior to any anniversary of the Effective Date (an “Anniversary Date”), request that each Lender

extend such Lender’s Maturity Date for an additional one-year period from the Maturity Date then in effect hereunder (the “Existing Maturity Date”); provided that (i) no more than two (2) of such one-year extensions shall be permitted hereunder and (ii) after giving effect to any such extension, the extended Maturity Date shall not be a date later than the fifth anniversary of the effective date of such extension.

(b)Lender Elections to Extend. Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not earlier than 30 days prior to the applicable Anniversary Date and not later than the date (the “Notice Date”) that is 20 days prior to the applicable Anniversary Date, advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension (and each Lender that determines not to so extend its Maturity Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Notice Date) and any Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree.

(c)Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify ODEC of each Lender’s determination under this Section no later than the date 15 days prior to the applicable Anniversary Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day).

(d)Additional Commitment Lenders. ODEC shall have the right on or before the applicable Anniversary Date to replace each Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more banks or other financial institutions (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) with the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), each of which Additional Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to ODEC and the Administrative Agent pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lender shall, effective as of the applicable Anniversary Date, undertake a Commitment (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s Commitment hereunder on such date).

(e)Minimum Extension Requirement. If (and only if) the total of the Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed so to extend their Maturity Date and the additional Commitments of the Additional Commitment Lenders shall be more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect immediately prior to the applicable Anniversary Date, then, effective as of the applicable Anniversary Date, the Maturity Date of each Extending Lender and of each Additional Commitment Lender shall be extended to the date falling one year after the Existing Maturity Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Maturity Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business Day) and each Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement.

(f)Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this Section shall not be effective with respect to any Lender unless:

(i)no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto;

(ii)the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto, as though made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date); and

(iii)on or before the Maturity Date of each Non-Extending Lender, (1) ODEC shall have paid in full the principal of and interest on all of the Loans made by such Non-Extending Lender hereunder and (2) ODEC shall have paid in full all other amounts owing to such Lender hereunder.

ODEC will keep proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries are made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities. ODEC will permit any representatives designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect its properties, to examine and make extracts from its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers and independent accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested.

Extensions of credit hereunder (whether Loans or Letters of Credit) will be used only for general corporate purposes not in contravention of any applicable law or of any Loan Document; provided, that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any responsibility as to the use of any such proceeds. No part of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit will be used by ODEC, whether directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. ODEC will not request any credit extension hereunder, and ODEC shall not use, and shall ensure that its Subsidiaries and its or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall not use, the proceeds of any credit extension hereunder (i) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (ii) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country in violation of any applicable law, or (iii) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto.

Section 5.10Certain Equity and Security.

(a)So long as CoBank is a Lender hereunder, ODEC will acquire equity in CoBank in such amounts and at such times as CoBank may require in accordance with CoBank’s Bylaws and Capital Plan (as each may be amended from time to time), except that the maximum amount of equity that ODEC may be required to purchase in CoBank in connection with the Loans made by CoBank may not exceed the maximum amount permitted by the Bylaws and the Capital Plan at the time this Agreement is entered into. ODEC acknowledges receipt of a copy of (i) CoBank’s most recent annual report, and if more recent, CoBank’s latest quarterly report, (ii) CoBank’s Notice to Prospective Stockholders and (iii) CoBank’s Bylaws and Capital Plan, which describe the nature of all of ODEC’s stock and other equities in CoBank acquired in

connection with its patronage loan from CoBank (the “CoBank Equities”) as well as capitalization requirements, and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof.

(b)Each party hereto acknowledges that CoBank’s Bylaws and Capital Plan (as each may be amended from time to time) shall govern (i) the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the CoBank Equities and any patronage refunds or other distributions made on account thereof or on account of ODEC’s patronage with CoBank, (ii) ODEC’s eligibility for patronage distributions from CoBank (in the form of CoBank Equities and cash) and (iii) patronage distributions, if any, in the event of a sale of a participation interest. CoBank reserves the right to assign or sell participations in all or any part of its Commitments or outstanding Loans hereunder on a non-patronage basis.

(c)Each party hereto acknowledges that CoBank has a statutory first lien pursuant to the Farm Credit Act of 1971 (as amended from time to time) on all CoBank Equities that ODEC may now own or hereafter acquire, which statutory lien shall be for CoBank’s sole and exclusive benefit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.16(d), the CoBank Equities shall not constitute security for the Obligations due to any other Lender. To the extent that any of the Loan Documents create a Lien on the CoBank Equities or on patronage accrued by CoBank for the account of ODEC (including, in each case, proceeds thereof), such Lien shall be for CoBank’s sole and exclusive benefit and shall not be subject to pro rata sharing hereunder notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.16(d). Neither the CoBank Equities nor any accrued patronage shall be offset against the Obligations except that, in the event of an Event of Default, CoBank may elect, solely at its discretion and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.16(d), to apply the cash portion of any patronage distribution or retirement of equity to amounts due to CoBank under this Agreement. ODEC acknowledges that any corresponding tax liability associated with such application is the sole responsibility of ODEC. CoBank shall have no obligation to retire the CoBank Equities upon any Event of Default, Default or any other default by ODEC, or at any other time, either for application to the Obligations or otherwise.

ARTICLE VIII

AGENCY

Section 8.01Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and ODEC shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of

such provisions (provided that ODEC may rely on actions taken by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms this Article as being actions taken by an agent of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders and retains its rights under clause Section 8.06 of this Article VIII). It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

Section 8.02Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, ODEC or any Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 8.03Exculpatory Provisions.

(a)The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(i)shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii)shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(iii)shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to ODEC or any of its Affiliates that is

communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b)The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02 and Article VII, or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by ODEC, a Lender or an Issuing Lender.

(c)The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.04Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for ODEC), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 8.05Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory

provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facilities as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any subagents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Section 8.06Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a)The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent at any time upon written notice to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and ODEC. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the approval of ODEC, to appoint a successor; provided, that ODEC shall have no such right of approval if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and (2) the Required Lenders shall perform the duties of the Administrative Agent (and all payments and communications provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by, to or through each Lender directly) until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by ODEC to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between ODEC and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

(b)If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to ODEC and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with ODEC, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Issuing Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue

to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and Issuing Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by ODEC to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between ODEC and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Section 8.07Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and Issuing Lender expressly acknowledges that (a) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement, and (b) the Administrative Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of ODEC, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender and Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own credit analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of ODEC which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.08No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Lead Arrangers, Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Lender hereunder.

Section 8.09Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding

relative to ODEC, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or LC Exposure shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on ODEC) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Exposure and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(ii)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

(iii)and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and Issuing Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10 and 9.03.

Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in Section 9.01(b) shall be effective as provided in Section 9.01(b).

(b)Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or any Issuing Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or ODEC may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided, that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address as permitted hereby shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided, that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website as permitted hereby shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(c)Changes to Notice Information. Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto (or, in the case of any such change by a Lender, by notice to ODEC and the Administrative Agent).

(d)Platform.

(ii)The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to ODEC, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of ODEC’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform, except to the extent that such losses, damages, liabilities or related expenses result from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Agent Parties. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material that ODEC provides to the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform.

Section 9.02Waivers; Amendments.

(a)No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by ODEC therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)Amendments. No provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by ODEC and the Required Lenders or by ODEC and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall

(i)increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender,

(ii)reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reimbursement obligation relating to any LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby,

(iii)postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or reimbursement obligation relating to an LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby,

(iv)change Section 2.16(d) or any other provision of this Agreement in any manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments or the pro rata reduction of Commitments without the consent of each Lender affected thereby, or

(v)change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; and

provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be.

For purposes of this Section, the “scheduled date of payment” of any amount shall refer to the date of payment of such amount specified in this Agreement, and shall not refer to a date or other event specified for the mandatory or optional prepayment of such amount. In addition, whenever a waiver, amendment or modification requires the consent of a Lender “adversely affected” thereby, such waiver, amendment or modification shall, upon consent of such Lender, become effective as to such Lender whether or not it becomes effective as to any other Lender, so long as the Required Lenders consent to such waiver, amendment or modification as provided above.

If the Required Lenders shall have approved any amendment which requires the consent of all of the Lenders or all of the Lenders adversely affected, ODEC shall be permitted to replace any Non-Consenting Lender with a replacement financial institution, provided that, (i) the replacement financial institution shall purchase at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (ii) ODEC shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.14 if any LIBOR Rate Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto (as if such

purchase constituted a prepayment of such Loans), (iii) such replacement institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and, with respect to any replacement financial institution that is not an Eligible Assignee, each Issuing Lender, (iv) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.04 (provided that, ODEC shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) and (v) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights ODEC, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

Section 9.03Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a)Costs and Expenses. ODEC shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendment, modifications or waiver of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Lender in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including in connection with any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof.

(b)Indemnification by ODEC. ODEC shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each of the Lenders, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, disbursements, settlement costs and other charges of any counsel for such Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by ODEC or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Claims related in any way to ODEC or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (whether brought by any third party or by ODEC or any of its Subsidiaries), whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such

losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (x) such Indemnitee’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct or (y) a claim brought by ODEC against such Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if ODEC has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This indemnification shall survive and continue for the benefit of all such persons or entities. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c)Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that ODEC fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender under Section 9.03(a) or 9.03(b), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided, that with respect to such unpaid amounts owed to any Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender solely in its capacity as such, only the Lenders shall be required to pay such unpaid amounts, such payment to be made severally among them based on such Lenders’ Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.02(a).

(d)Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. Except with respect to the obligations of ODEC set forth in paragraph (b) above, to the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(e)Payments. All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor, accompanied by copies of the applicable invoices.

Section 9.04Successors and Assigns.

(a)Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that ODEC may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and

each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans and LC Exposure at the time owing to it); provided, that (in each case with respect to any Facility) any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i)Minimum Amounts.

(A)in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it (in each case with respect to any Facility) or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds (determined after giving effect to such assignments) that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B)in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $10,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, ODEC otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii)Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.

(iii)Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A)the consent of ODEC (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided, that ODEC shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof and provided, further, that ODEC’s consent shall not be required during the primary syndication of this credit facility;

(B)the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of this credit facility if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of such Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

(C)the consent of each Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of this credit facility.

(iv)Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v)No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) ODEC or any of ODEC’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

(vi)No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).

(vii)Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of ODEC and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably

consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender, each Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.

(c)Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of ODEC, shall maintain at its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and ODEC, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by ODEC, any Issuing Lender and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, ODEC or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or ODEC or any of ODEC’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to it); provided, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under

this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) ODEC, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity of the Administrative Agent under Section 9.03(c) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. ODEC agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.15(g) (Status of Lenders) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.15(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender))) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided, that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.17 and 2.18 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided, that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to Section 2.16(d) as though it were a Lender hereunder, and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.13 or 2.15, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of ODEC, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(e)Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.13 or 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with ODEC’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless ODEC is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of ODEC, to comply with Section 2.15(f) as though it were a Lender and

in the case of a Participant claiming exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, the applicable Lender shall provide ODEC with satisfactory evidence that the participation is in registered form and shall permit ODEC to review such register as reasonably needed for ODEC to comply with its obligations under applicable laws and regulations.

(f)Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 9.05Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by ODEC herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf, and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or any incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 9.06Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopy or in electronic format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided

for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Section 9.07Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.08Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Lender, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender, such Issuing Lender or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of ODEC against any and all of the obligations of ODEC now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such Issuing Lender or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, Issuing Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of ODEC may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or such Issuing Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.17 and 2.18 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees to notify ODEC and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
