THE CREDITS

2.1 Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lender agrees to make a single Advance to the Borrower on or after the Closing Date in the full amount of the Aggregate Commitment. The obligation of Borrower to repay such Advance under this section, together with interest accruing in connection therewith, shall be evidenced by the Note made by Borrower payable to the order of Lender. Borrower may not re-borrow money repaid under the Note.

2.2 Interest. The principal balance of the Loans (exclusive of any past due principal or interest) from time to time outstanding shall bear interest on each day outstanding, at a rate per annum, selected at the option of the Borrower, equal to (A) the Eurodollar Rate or (B) the Floating Rate.

2.3 Optional Principal Prepayments. The Borrower may from time to time prepay, without penalty or premium, the then outstanding amount of the Loan, or, any portion thereof in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the then remaining outstanding principal balance thereof), on any Business Day upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Lender.

2.4 Rate Elections. Borrower may from time to time designate, within the dollar limits set forth below, a portion of the Loans as Eurodollar Loans. Each election (a “Rate Election”) by Borrower shall:

(i) Be made by email notice to Lender and confirmed by telephonic notice from Lender.

(ii) Specify the aggregate amount of the Loans which Borrower desires to designate as a Eurodollar Rate Portion and the applicable Interest Period which is to apply thereto; and

(iii) Be received by the Lender not later than 11:00 a.m., Oklahoma City, Oklahoma time, on the first Business Day preceding the first day of the applicable Interest Period.

(iv) Each Rate Election shall be irrevocable. Borrower may make no Rate Election which does not specify an Interest Period complying with the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.1, and the aggregate amount of the election must be at least $1,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $500,000. Upon the termination of each Interest Period, the portion of the Loans theretofore constituting the related Eurodollar Rate Portion shall, unless the subject of a new Rate Election then taking effect, automatically be continued as a Eurodollar Rate Portion with an Interest Period equal to one month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any automatic continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Portion pursuant to the preceding sentence results in an Interest Period not complying with the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.1, such Eurodollar Rate Portion shall automatically be continued with an Interest Period of one week, unless such reduced Interest Period will also not comply with such definition, in which event such Eurodollar Rate Portion will become a part of the Floating Rate Portion of the Loans and become subject to all provisions of the Loan Documents governing such Floating Rate Portion. Borrower shall have no more than three Eurodollar Rate Portions for the Loans in effect at any time.

2.5 Changes in Interest Rate, etc. Each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is automatically converted from a Eurodollar Advance into a Floating Rate Advance to but excluding the date it is paid or is converted into a Eurodollar Advance, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined by the Lender as applicable to such Eurodollar Advance based upon the Borrower’s selections under this Agreement and otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof. No Interest Period may end after the scheduled Termination Date. The Borrower shall select Interest Periods so that it is not necessary to repay any portion of a Eurodollar Advance prior to the last day of

the applicable Interest Period in order to make a mandatory prepayment required pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.2.

2.6 Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.6 or 2.7, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default, the Lender may, at its option, by notice to the Borrower, declare that no portion of the Loan may be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Advance.

Interest shall continue to accrue as provided in this Section 2.6 on the overdue Obligations after the filing by or against the Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any Debtor Relief Law.

The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Lender a written confirmation, if such confirmation is requested by the Lender, of each telephonic notice, signed by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Lender, the records of the Lender shall govern absent manifest error.

2.9 Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Advance shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, on any date on which the Floating Rate Advance is prepaid, whether due to acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on that portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Floating Rate Advance converted into a Eurodollar Advance on a day other than a Payment Date shall be payable on the date of conversion. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Eurodollar Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest on Floating Rate Advances when the Alternate Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365, or when appropriate 366, day year. All other computations of interest and all other fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon at the place of payment. Except as set forth in the second proviso to the definition of “Interest Period,” if any payment of principal of or interest

on an Advance, any fees or any other amounts payable to the Lender hereunder shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees in connection with such payment.

At any time subsequent to the Closing Date and prior to the Termination Date, the Borrower shall have the right to request, in consultation with the Lender, and effectuate increases in the Aggregate Commitment (each such increase, an “Incremental Loan”); provided that (A) each such Incremental Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and in increments of $500,000 if greater than $5,000,000, (B) in no event shall the aggregate amount of all such Incremental Loans result in the Aggregate Commitment exceeding $100,000,000, (C) as of the date of such proposed Incremental Loan, no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the proposed Incremental Loan, (D) the Borrower shall have obtained all necessary corporate authorizations and governmental approvals in order to effect such Incremental Loan, and (E) the Lender shall have received a commitment fee equal to 0.05% of each Incremental Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lender shall not be obligated to commit to any Incremental Loan.

2.11 Facility Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender a Facility Fee (the “Facility Fee”) at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Fee Rate on the Aggregate Commitment (whether used or unused) from the date hereof to the Termination Date, payable on each Payment Date and the Termination Date; provided that, if the Lender continues to have Loans outstanding hereunder after the Termination Date, then the Facility Fee shall continue to accrue on the aggregate principal amount of the Loans owed to the Lender until the date on which such Loans are repaid in full.

ARTICLE III

YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES

3.1 Yield Protection.

3.1.1 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 by the Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate);

(ii) subject the Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes (other than Taxes measured by the overall capital or net worth of the Lender) and (C) Other Connection 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 the Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes or any reserve requirement then reflected in the LIBOR Rate) affecting this Agreement;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of the Lender, the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such amounts to the Lender under and pursuant to this Section which are owing as a result of any Specified Change if and to the extent the Lender is not at such time generally assessing such costs in a similar manner to other similarly situated borrowers with similar credit facilities.

3.1.2 Capital Requirements. If the Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting the Lender regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement or the Aggregate Commitment of the Lender or the Loans made by the Lender, to a level below that which the Lender could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for any such reduction suffered; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such amounts to the Lender under and pursuant to this Section which are owing as a result of any Specified Change if and to the extent the Lender is not at such time generally assessing such costs in a similar manner to other similarly situated borrowers with similar credit facilities.

3.1.3 Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than ninety (90) days prior to the date that the Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of the 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 ninety-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.2 Interest Rate; Eurodollar Base Rate Notifications. The Eurodollar Base Rate is determined by reference to LIBOR, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no

longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration for purposes of the ICE Benchmark Administration setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the One Month LIBOR Rate. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. In the event that the London interbank offered rate is no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) of the third paragraph in the definition of "Eurodollar Base Rate", the Lender will notify the Borrower in advance of any change to the reference rate upon which the Eurodollar Base Rate is based inclusive of any corresponding change to the Applicable Margin. However, the Lender does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of "Eurodollar Base Rate" or with respect to any Replacement Rate, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such Replacement Rate, as it may or may not be adjusted, will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the Eurodollar Base Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

3.3 Reserved.

3.4 Funding Indemnification. If (i) any payment of a Eurodollar Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, (ii) a Eurodollar Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower in a Borrowing Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice for any reason other than default by the Lender, or (iii) a Eurodollar Advance is not prepaid on the date specified by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.3 for any reason, then, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement for any such amounts that would be owing to the Lender, the Borrower will indemnify the Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Eurodollar Advance but excluding the Applicable Margin expected to be received by the Lender during the remainder of such Interest Period.

3.5 Taxes.

3.5.1 Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower 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 the Borrower 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 Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

3.5.2 Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Lender timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

3.5.3 Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender, within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by the Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified 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 the Borrower by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

3.5.4 Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.5, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender 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 Lender.

3.5.5 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 this Section 3.5 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.5), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 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 Section 3.5.5 (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 Section 3.5.5, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.5.5 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 indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph 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.

3.5.6 Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.5 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

8.1 Acceleration/Remedies.

8.1.1 If any Default occurs, the Lender may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lender to make further Advances hereunder, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives.

8.1.2 In the event that the Obligations have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1.1, all payments received by the Lender upon the Obligations and all net proceeds from the enforcement of the Obligations shall be applied:

FIRST, to the payment of all fees, reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Lender described in this clause “FIRST” owing to them;

SECOND, to the payment of all accrued interest on the Loans described in this clause “SECOND” owing to them;

8.2 Preservation of Rights. The enumeration of the rights and remedies of the Lender set forth in this Agreement is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise by the Lender of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies, all of which shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or that may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity or by suit or otherwise. No delay or failure to take action on the part of the Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Default. No course of dealing between the Borrower, the Lender or their respective agents or employees shall be effective to change, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to constitute a waiver of any Default. No waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lender required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth.

The Lender does not take any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or operations. The Borrower agrees that the Lender shall not have liability to the Borrower (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless such losses resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement by the party from which recovery is sought. Each party hereto agrees that no other party hereto shall have any liability with respect to, and each party hereto hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx for, any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages suffered by such Person in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby; provided

that this waiver shall in no way limit the Borrower’s indemnification obligations in Section 9.6.2 to the extent of any third-party claim for any of the foregoing.

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lender and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (a) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of Lender, (b) any assignment by the Lender must be made in compliance with Section 11.3, and (c) any transfer by participation must be made in compliance with Section 11.2.

The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that Section 11.1(b) relates only to absolute assignments and this Section 11.1 does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including any pledge or assignment by Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and the Note to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 11.3.

Any request, authority or consent of Lender or any holder or assignee of the rights of Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights of Lender.

11.2 Participations.

Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, (x) any competitor of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or (y) any other company engaged in the business of selling or distributing energy products) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Aggregate Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, if any, shall remain unchanged, (ii) Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Lender shall remain the owner of and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents and all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if Lender had not sold such participating interest and (iv) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with this Agreement.

11.2.2 Voting Rights. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which Lender sells such a participation shall provide that Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement.

11.2.3 Benefit of Certain Provisions. The Borrower further agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.3; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1 or 3.5, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.2 as though it were Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 11.2 as though it were Lender

11.2.4 Participant Register. If Lender sells a participation, Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, 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 Lender has no 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 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.

11.3 Assignments.

11.3.1 Permitted Assignments. Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such assignment shall be in such form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto. Each such assignment with respect to an Eligible Assignee which is not an Affiliate of Lender or an Approved Fund shall either be in an amount equal to the entire Aggregate Commitment or Loans (unless Borrower otherwise consents) or be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000. The amount of the assignment shall be based on the Aggregate Commitment or subject to the assignment, determined as of the date of such assignment or as of the “Trade Date,” if the “Trade Date” is specified in the assignment. Each partial assignment made by Lender shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all of Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans and Aggregate Commitment assigned.

11.3.2 Consents. The consent of the Borrower shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective unless (i) such assignment is to an Affiliate of Lender or an Approved Fund or (ii) a Default has occurred and is continuing; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Lender within fifteen (15) days after having received notice thereof. Any consent required under this Section 11.3.2 shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

11.3.3 Effect; Effective Date. Upon obtaining any consents required by Section 11.3.2, an assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such assignment. In the case of an assignment covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights, benefits and obligations under this Agreement, Lender shall cease to be the Lender hereunder but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to, those provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which survive payment of the Obligations and termination of the Loan Documents with respect to facts and

circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.3 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by the Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.2. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this Section 11.3.3, Borrower shall, if the transferor Lender or the assignee desires that its Loans be evidenced by a replacement Note, make appropriate arrangements so that, upon cancellation and surrender to the Borrower of the Note (if any) held by the transferor Lender, a new Note or, as appropriate, replacement Note is issued to Lender, if applicable, and new Note or, as appropriate, replacement Note, are issued to such assignee, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective part of the Aggregate Commitments (or if the Aggregate Commitment has been terminated or fully advance, their respective portions of the Loans), as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.

11.3.4 Register. Lender, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (and the Borrower hereby designates Lender to act in such capacity), shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each assignment of the Aggregate Commitments or Loans and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of any assignees of Lender, and their portion of the Aggregate Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each such assignee pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as an assignee of Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

11.3.5 No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, (x) any competitor of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or (y) any other company engaged in the business of selling or distributing energy products; provided that this clause (y) shall not apply to any financial institution solely as a result of such Person trading in commodity products.

11.3.6 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).

OGE Credit Agreement

PRICING SCHEDULE


PRICING LEVEL	DEBT RATINGS FITCH/XXXXX’X/S&P	APPLICABLE MARGIN-EURODOLLAR RATE PORTION	APPLICABLE MARGIN-FLOATING RATE PORTION	APPLICABLE FEE RATE
I	≥AA-/Aa3/AA-	0.690%	0.000%	0.060%
II	A+/A1/A+	0.800%	0.000%	0.075%
III	A/A2/A	0.900%	0.000%	0.100%
IV	A-/A3/A-	1.000%	0.000%	0.125%
V	BBB+/Baa1/BBB+	1.075%	0.075%	0.175%
VI	≤BBB/Baa2/BBB	1.275%	0.275%	0.225%

The Applicable Margin for the Eurodollar Rate Portion and Floating Rate Portion and the Applicable Fee Rate shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing table based on the Borrower’s Status as determined from its then-current Xxxxx’x Rating, Fitch Rating and S&P Rating. The credit rating in effect on any date for the purposes of this Schedule is that in effect at the close of business on such date.

“Fitch Rating” means, at any time, the rating issued by Fitch and then in effect with respect to the Borrower’s senior unsecured long-term debt securities without third-party credit enhancement.

“Xxxxx’x Rating” means, at any time, the rating issued by Xxxxx’x and then in effect with respect to the Borrower’s senior unsecured long-term debt securities without third-party credit enhancement.

“S&P Rating” means, at any time, the rating issued by S&P, and then in effect with respect to the Borrower’s senior unsecured long-term debt securities without third-party credit enhancement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower is split-rated and (i) two ratings are equal and higher than the third, the higher rating will apply, (ii) two ratings are equal and lower than the third, the lower rating will apply, (iii) no ratings are equal, the intermediate rating will apply. In the event that the Borrower shall maintain ratings from only two of Xxxxx’x, Fitch and S&P and the Borrower is split-rated and (x) the ratings differential is one level, the higher rating will apply (and both ratings will be deemed to be at the higher level) and (y) the ratings differential is two levels or more, then the rating which is one level lower than the higher rating will apply (and both ratings will be deemed to be at the higher level).

If at any time the Borrower does not have a rating from at least two of Xxxxx’x, Fitch and S&P, but has at least one rating from any of Xxxxx’x, Fitch or S&P, the credit rating shall

be determined as if there are two ratings, the first of which shall be the applicable rating assigned by the rating agency maintaining such rating and the second of which shall be deemed to be Level VI (solely as it relates to such rating agency), and the Applicable Margin and Applicable Fee Rate rate shall be determined in accordance with this Pricing Schedule based on the two applicable levels.
