CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report and other presentations made by Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (HEI) and Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (Hawaiian Electric) and their subsidiaries contain “forward-looking statements,” which include statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions and usually include words such as “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “predicts,” “estimates” or similar expressions. In addition, any statements concerning future financial performance, ongoing business strategies or prospects or possible future actions are also forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and the accuracy of assumptions concerning HEI and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company), the performance of the industries in which they do business and economic, political and market factors, among other things. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.
Risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements and from historical results include, but are not limited to, the following:
•international, national and local economic and political conditions—including the state of the Hawaii tourism, defense and construction industries; the strength or weakness of the Hawaii and continental U.S. real estate markets (including the fair value and/or the actual performance of collateral underlying loans held by ASB, which could result in higher loan loss provisions and write-offs); decisions concerning the extent of the presence of the federal government and military in Hawaii; the implications and potential impacts of future Federal government shutdowns, including the impact to our customers to pay their electric bills and/or bank loans and the impact on the state of Hawaii economy; the implications and potential impacts of U.S. and foreign capital and credit market conditions and federal, state and international responses to those conditions; the potential impacts of global and local developments (including global economic conditions and uncertainties, unrest, terrorist acts, wars, conflicts, political protests, deadly virus epidemic or other crisis); the effects of changes that have or may occur in U.S. policy, such as with respect to immigration and trade; and pandemics;
•the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the duration, spread, severity and any recurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic due to new variants or insufficient vaccinations, the duration and scope of related government orders and restrictions, the impact on our employees, customers and suppliers, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the overall demand for the Company’s goods and services, all of which could be affected by the pace of distribution, administration, and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines over the short- and long-term, as well as the proportion of the population vaccinated;
•ability to adequately address risks and capitalize on opportunities related to our environmental, social and governance (ESG) priority areas, which currently include decarbonization, economic health and affordability, reliability and resilience, secure digitalization, diversity, equity and inclusion, employee engagement, and climate-related risks and opportunities;
•citizen activism, including civil unrest, especially in times of severe economic depression and social divisiveness, which could negatively impact customers and employees, impair the ability of the Company and the Utilities to operate and maintain its facilities in an effective and safe manner, and citizen activism and stakeholder activism could delay the construction, increase project costs or preclude the completion, of third-party or Utility projects that are required to meet electricity demand, reliability objectives and renewable portfolio standards (RPS) goals;
•the effects of future actions or inaction of the U.S. government or related agencies, including those related to the U.S. debt ceiling or budget funding, monetary policy, trade policy and tariffs, energy and environmental policy, and other policy and regulatory changes advanced or proposed by President Biden and his administration;
•weather, natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, lightning strikes, lava flows and the increasing effects of climate change, such as more severe storms, flooding, droughts, heat waves, and rising sea levels) and wildfires, including their impact on the resilience and reliability of the Company’s and Utilities’ operations and the economy;
•the timing, speed and extent of changes in interest rates and the shape of the yield curve, which could result in lower portfolio yields and net interest margin;
•the ability of the Company and the Utilities to access the credit and capital markets (e.g., to obtain commercial paper and other short-term and long-term debt financing, including lines of credit, and, in the case of HEI, to issue common stock) under volatile and challenging market conditions, and the cost of such financings, if available;
•the risks inherent in changes in the value of the Company’s pension and other retirement plan assets and ASB’s securities available for sale, and the risks inherent in changes in the value of the Company’s pension liabilities, including changes driven by interest rates;
•changes in laws, regulations (including tax regulations), market conditions, interest rates and other factors that result in changes in assumptions used to calculate retirement benefits costs and funding requirements;
•the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act) and of the rules and regulations that the Dodd-Frank Act requires to be promulgated, as amended by the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act;
•increasing competition in the banking industry (e.g., increased price competition for deposits, or an outflow of deposits to alternative investments, which may have an adverse impact on ASB’s cost of funds);
•the potential delay by the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Hawaii (PUC) in considering (and potential disapproval of actual or proposed) renewable energy proposals and related costs; reliance by the Utilities on outside parties such as the state, independent power producers (IPPs) and developers; and uncertainties surrounding technologies, solar power, wind power, biofuels, environmental assessments required to meet RPS goals; the impacts of implementation of the renewable energy proposals on future costs of electricity and potential penalties imposed by the PUC for delays in the commercial operations of renewable energy projects;
•the ability of the Utilities to develop, implement and recover the costs of implementing the Utilities’ action plans included in their updated Power Supply Improvement Plans, Demand Response Portfolio Plan, Distributed Generation Interconnection Plan, Grid Modernization Plans, and business model changes, which have been and are continuing to be developed and updated in response to the orders issued by the PUC, the PUC’s April 2014 statement of its inclinations on the future of Hawaii’s electric utilities and the vision, business strategies and regulatory policy changes required to align the Utilities’ business model with customer interests and the state’s public policy goals, and subsequent orders of the PUC;
•the ability of the Utilities to recover undepreciated cost of fossil fuel generating units, if they are retired before the end of their expected useful life;
•capacity and supply constraints or difficulties, especially if generating units (utility-owned or IPP-owned) fail or measures such as demand-side management, distributed generation, combined heat and power or other firm capacity supply-side resources fall short of achieving their forecasted benefits or are otherwise insufficient to reduce or meet peak demand;
•fuel oil price changes, delivery of adequate fuel by suppliers and the continued availability to the electric utilities of their energy cost recovery clauses (ECRCs);
•the continued availability to the electric utilities or modifications of other cost recovery mechanisms, including the purchased power adjustment clauses (PPACs), rate adjustment mechanisms (RAMs) and pension and postretirement benefits other than pensions (OPEB) tracking mechanisms, and the continued decoupling of revenues from sales to mitigate the effects of declining kilowatthour sales;
•the ability of the Utilities to recover increasing costs and earn a reasonable return on capital investments not covered by the annual revenue adjustment (ARA);
•the ability of the Utilities to achieve performance incentive goals currently in place;
•the impact from the PUC’s implementation of performance-based ratemaking for the Utilities pursuant to Act 005, Session Laws 2018, including the potential addition of new performance incentive mechanisms (PIMs), third-party proposals adopted by the PUC in its implementation of performance-based regulation (PBR), and the implications of not achieving performance incentive goals;
•the impact of fuel price levels and volatility on customer satisfaction and political and regulatory support for the Utilities;
•the risks associated with increasing reliance on renewable energy, including the availability and cost of non-fossil fuel supplies for renewable energy generation and the operational impacts of adding intermittent sources of renewable energy to the electric grid;
•the growing risk that energy production from renewable generating resources may be curtailed and the interconnection of additional resources will be constrained as more generating resources are added to the Utilities’ electric systems and as customers reduce their energy usage;
•the ability of IPPs to deliver the firm capacity anticipated in their power purchase agreements (PPAs);
•the potential that, as IPP contracts near the end of their terms, there may be less economic incentive for the IPPs to make investments in their units to ensure the availability of their units;
•the ability of the Utilities to negotiate, periodically, favorable agreements for significant resources such as fuel supply contracts and collective bargaining agreements and avoid or mitigate labor disputes and work stoppages;
•new technological developments that could affect the operations and prospects of the Utilities and ASB or their competitors such as the commercial development of energy storage and microgrids and banking through alternative channels, including use of digital currencies, which could include a central bank digital currency;
•cybersecurity risks and the potential for cyber incidents, including potential incidents at HEI, its third-party vendors, and its subsidiaries (including at ASB branches and electric utility plants) and incidents at data processing centers used, to the extent not prevented by intrusion detection and prevention systems, anti-virus software, firewalls and other general IT controls;
•failure to achieve remaining cost savings commitment related to the Enterprise Resource Planning/Enterprise Asset Management (ERP/EAM) project-related benefits and the management audit committed savings of $33 million over the 2021 to 2025 multi-year rate period (MRP);
•federal, state, county and international governmental and regulatory actions, such as existing, new and changes in laws, rules and regulations applicable to HEI, the Utilities and ASB (including changes in taxation and tax rates, increases in capital requirements, regulatory policy changes, environmental laws and regulations (including resulting compliance costs and risks of fines and penalties and/or liabilities), the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, governmental fees and assessments (such as Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation assessments), and potential carbon “cap and trade” legislation that may fundamentally alter costs to produce electricity and accelerate the move to renewable generation);
•developments in laws, regulations and policies governing protections for historic, archaeological and cultural sites, and plant and animal species and habitats, as well as developments in the implementation and enforcement of such laws, regulations and policies;
•discovery of conditions that may be attributable to historical chemical releases, including any necessary investigation and remediation, and any associated enforcement, litigation or regulatory oversight;
•decisions by the PUC in rate cases and other proceedings (including the risks of delays in the timing of decisions, adverse changes in final decisions from interim decisions and the disallowance of project costs as a result of adverse regulatory audit reports or otherwise);
•decisions by the PUC and by other agencies and courts on land use, environmental and other permitting issues (such as required corrective actions, restrictions and penalties that may arise, such as with respect to environmental conditions or RPS);
•potential enforcement actions by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Federal Reserve Board (FRB), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and/or other governmental authorities (such as consent orders, required corrective actions, restrictions and penalties that may arise, for example, with respect to compliance deficiencies under existing or new banking and consumer protection laws and regulations or with respect to capital adequacy);
•the risks associated with the geographic concentration of HEI’s businesses and ASB’s loans, ASB’s concentration in a single product type (i.e., first mortgages) and ASB’s significant credit relationships (i.e., concentrations of large loans and/or credit lines with certain customers);
•changes in accounting principles applicable to HEI and its subsidiaries, including the adoption of new U.S. accounting standards, the potential discontinuance of regulatory accounting related to PBR or other regulatory changes, the effects of potentially required consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs), or required finance lease or on-balance-sheet operating lease accounting for PPAs with IPPs;
•downgrades by securities rating agencies in their ratings of the securities of HEI and Hawaiian Electric and their impact on results of financing efforts;
•faster than expected loan prepayments that can cause an acceleration of the amortization of premiums on loans and investments and the impairment of mortgage-servicing assets of ASB;
•changes in ASB’s loan portfolio credit profile and asset quality and/or mix, which may increase or decrease the required level of provision for credit losses, allowance for credit losses (ACL) and charge-offs;
•changes in ASB’s deposit cost or mix which may have an adverse impact on ASB’s cost of funds;
•unanticipated changes from the expected discontinuance of LIBOR and the transition to an alternative reference rate, which may include adverse impacts to the Company’s cost of capital, loan portfolio and interest income on loans;
•the final outcome of tax positions taken by HEI and its subsidiaries;
•the risks of suffering losses and incurring liabilities that are uninsured (e.g., damages to the Utilities’ transmission and distribution system and losses from business interruption) or underinsured (e.g., losses not covered as a result of insurance deductibles or other exclusions or exceeding policy limits), and the risks associated with the operation of transmission and distribution assets and power generation facilities, including public and employee safety issues, and assets causing or contributing to wildfires;
•the ability of the Company’s non-regulated subsidiary, Pacific Current, LLC (Pacific Current), to achieve its performance and growth objectives, which in turn could affect its ability to service its non-recourse debt;
•the Company’s reliance on third parties and the risk of their non-performance, which has increased due to the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic; and
•other risks or uncertainties described elsewhere in this report and in other reports (e.g., “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K) previously and subsequently filed by HEI and/or Hawaiian Electric with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the report, presentation or filing in which they are made. Except to the extent required by the federal securities laws, HEI, Hawaiian Electric, ASB, Pacific Current and their subsidiaries undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral and whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

This report should be read in conjunction with the Notes herein and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in the 2020 Form 10-K.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Note 1 · Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information, the instructions to SEC Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the following notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
In the opinion of HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments required by GAAP to fairly state consolidated HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s financial positions as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and the results of their operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed below or in other referenced material. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
Recent accounting pronouncements.
Income Taxes. In December 2019, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which removes specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, improves financial statement preparers’ application of income tax-related guidance and simplifies GAAP under certain situations. ASU No. 2019-12 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the ASU as of January 1, 2021 with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Leases. On July 19, 2021 FASB issued ASU No. 2021-05, “Leases (Topic 842): Lessors–Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments.” The ASU allows lessors to treat sales-type leases with variable payments to be classified as operating leases if the sales-type lease treatment under Topic 842 would result in a selling loss at lease commencement (day-one loss). The Company plans to early adopt ASU No. 2021-05 as of September 30, 2021 retrospectively to leases that commenced on or after the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02. The impact of the adoption of ASU No. 2021-05 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements is not expected to be material.

Intercompany electricity sales of the Utilities to ASB and “other” segments are not eliminated because those segments would need to purchase electricity from another source if it were not provided by the Utilities and the profit on such sales is nominal.
Hamakua Energy, LLC’s (Hamakua Energy’s) sales to Hawaii Electric Light (a regulated affiliate) are eliminated in consolidation.

Note 3 · Electric utility segment
Unconsolidated variable interest entities.
Power purchase agreements. As of June 30, 2021, the Utilities had five PPAs for firm capacity (including the Puna Geothermal Venture (PGV) PPA that went offline in May 2018 due to lava flow on Hawaii Island, but returned to service with firm capacity of 13 MW in the first quarter of 2021 and ramped up to 23.9 MW in the second quarter of 2021) and other PPAs with independent power producers (IPPs) and Schedule Q providers (i.e., customers with cogeneration and/or power production facilities who buy power from or sell power to the Utilities), none of which are currently required to be consolidated as VIEs.
Pursuant to the current accounting standards for VIEs, the Utilities are deemed to have a variable interest in Kalaeloa Partners, L.P. (Kalaeloa), AES Hawaii, Inc. (AES Hawaii) and Hamakua Energy by reason of the provisions of the PPA that the Utilities have with the three IPPs. However, management has concluded that the Utilities are not the primary beneficiary of Kalaeloa, AES Hawaii and Hamakua Energy because the Utilities do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the three IPPs’ economic performance nor the obligation to absorb their expected losses, if any, that could potentially be significant to the IPPs. Thus, the Utilities have not consolidated Kalaeloa, AES Hawaii and Hamakua Energy in its condensed consolidated financial statements. Hamakua Energy is an indirect subsidiary of Pacific Current and is consolidated in HEI’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
For the other PPAs with IPPs, the Utilities have concluded that the consolidation of the IPPs was not required because either the Utilities do not have variable interests in the IPPs due to the absence of an obligation in the PPAs for the Utilities to absorb any variability of the IPPs, or the IPP was considered a “governmental organization,” and thus excluded from the scope of accounting standards for VIEs. The consolidation of any significant IPP could have a material effect on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the recognition of a significant amount of assets and liabilities and, if such a consolidated IPP were operating at a loss and had insufficient equity, the potential recognition of such losses. If the Utilities determine they are required to consolidate the financial statements of such an IPP and the consolidation has a material effect, the Utilities would retrospectively apply accounting standards for VIEs to the IPP.
Commitments and contingencies.
Contingencies. The Utilities are subject in the normal course of business to pending and threatened legal proceedings. Management does not anticipate that the aggregate ultimate liability arising out of these pending or threatened legal proceedings will be material to its financial position. However, the Utilities cannot rule out the possibility that such outcomes could have a material effect on the results of operations or liquidity for a particular reporting period in the future.
Power purchase agreements. Purchases from all IPPs were as follows:

1Includes hydro power and other PPAs
Kalaeloa Partners, L.P. Under a 1988 PPA, as amended, Hawaiian Electric is committed to purchase 208 MW of firm capacity from Kalaeloa. Hawaiian Electric and Kalaeloa continue negotiations to address the PPA term that ended on May 23, 2016. The PPA automatically extends on a month-to-month basis as long as the parties are still negotiating in good faith. Hawaiian Electric and Kalaeloa have agreed that neither party will give notice of termination of negotiation prior to October 31, 2021, to allow for a negotiated resolution. As a result, since the PPA provides for a 60-day notice of termination of the PPA, the PPA will remain in full force and effect through October 31, 2021, and from month to month thereafter, subject to termination on not less than 60 days notice.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued (Unaudited)
AES Hawaii, Inc. Under a PPA entered into in March 1988, as amended (through Amendment No. 2) for a period of 30 years ending September 2022, Hawaiian Electric agreed to purchase 180 MW of firm capacity from AES Hawaii. Hawaiian Electric and AES Hawaii have been in dispute over an additional 9 MW of capacity. In February 2018, Hawaiian Electric reached agreement with AES Hawaii on an amendment to the PPA. However, in June 2018, the PUC issued an order suspending review of the amendment pending a Department of Health of the State of Hawaii (DOH) decision on AES Hawaii’s request for approval of its Emission Reduction Plan and partnership with Hawaiian Electric. If approved by the PUC, the amendment will resolve AES Hawaii’s claims related to the additional capacity. Hawaiian Electric does not intend to extend the term of the PPA which will expire on September 1, 2022.
Hu Honua Bioenergy, LLC (Hu Honua). In May 2012, Hawaii Electric Light signed a PPA, which the PUC approved in December 2013, with Hu Honua for 21.5 MW of renewable, dispatchable firm capacity fueled by locally grown biomass from a facility on the island of Hawaii. Under the terms of the PPA, the Hu Honua plant was scheduled to be in service in 2016. However, Hu Honua encountered construction and litigation delays, which resulted in an amended and restated PPA between Hawaii Electric Light and Hu Honua dated May 9, 2017. In July 2017, the PUC approved the amended and restated PPA, which becomes effective once the PUC’s order is final and non-appealable. In August 2017, the PUC’s approval was appealed by a third party. On May 10, 2019, the Hawaii Supreme Court issued a decision remanding the matter to the PUC for further proceedings consistent with the court’s decision which must include express consideration of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that would result from approving the PPA, whether the cost of energy under the PPA is reasonable in light of the potential for GHG emissions, and whether the terms of the PPA are prudent and in the public interest, in light of its potential hidden and long-term consequences. As a result, the PUC reopened the docket for further proceedings, including re-examining all of the issues in the proceedings. On July 9, 2020, the PUC issued an order denying Hawaii Electric Light’s request to waive the amended and restated PPA from the PUC’s competitive bidding requirements and therefore, dismissed the request for approval of the amended and restated PPA without prejudice to possible participation in any future competitive bidding process. On September 9, 2020, the PUC denied Hu Honua’s motion for reconsideration of the PUC’s order. Hu Honua filed its notice of appeal to the Hawaii Supreme Court of the PUC’s order denying Hu Honua’s motion for reconsideration. On May 24, 2021, the Hawaii Supreme Court vacated the PUC’s decision and remanded the matter back to the PUC for further proceedings. On June 30, 2021, the PUC issued an order reopening the docket consistent with the Hawaii Supreme Court’s order.
Molokai New Energy Partners (MNEP). In July 2018, the PUC approved Maui Electric’s PPA with MNEP to purchase solar energy from a photovoltaic (PV) plus battery storage project. The 4.88 MW PV and 3 MW Battery Energy Storage System project was to deliver no more than 2.64 MW at any time to the Molokai system. On March 25, 2020, MNEP filed a complaint in the United Stated District Court for the District of Hawaii against Maui Electric claiming breach of contract. On June 3, 2020, Maui Electric provided Notice of Default and Termination of the PPA to MNEP terminating the PPA with an effective date of July 10, 2020. Thereafter, MNEP filed an amended Complaint to include claims relating to the termination and Hawaiian Electric filed its Answer to the Amended Complaint on September 11, 2020, disputing the facts presented by MNEP and all claims within the original and amended complaint.
Utility projects. Many public utility projects require PUC approval and various permits from other governmental agencies. Difficulties in obtaining, or the inability to obtain, the necessary approvals or permits or community support can result in significantly increased project costs or even cancellation of projects. In the event a project does not proceed, or if it becomes probable the PUC will disallow cost recovery for all or part of a project, or if PUC-imposed caps on project costs are expected to be exceeded, project costs may need to be written off in amounts that could result in significant reductions in Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated net income.
Enterprise Resource Planning/Enterprise Asset Management (ERP/EAM) implementation project. The ERP/EAM Implementation Project went live in October 2018. Hawaii Electric Light and Hawaiian Electric began to incorporate their portion of the deferred project costs in rate base and started the amortization over a 12-year period in January 2020 and November 2020, respectively. The PUC required the benefit savings of the project to be passed on to customers.
In February 2019, the PUC approved a methodology for passing the future cost saving benefits of the new ERP/EAM system to customers developed by the Utilities in collaboration with the Consumer Advocate. The Utilities filed a benefits clarification document on June 10, 2019, reflecting $150 million in future net O&M expense reductions and cost avoidance, and $96 million in capital cost reductions and tax savings over the 12-year service life. To the extent the reduction in O&M expense relates to amounts reflected in electric rates, the Utilities would reduce future rates for such amounts. In October 2019, the PUC approved the Utilities and the Consumer Advocate’s Stipulated Performance Metrics and Tracking Mechanism. As of June 30, 2021, the Utilities’ regulatory liability was $11.1 million ($6.1 million for Hawaiian Electric, $2.0 million for Hawaii Electric Light and $3.0 million for Maui Electric) for the O&M expense savings that are being amortized or to be included in future rates. As part of the settlement agreement approved in the Hawaiian Electric 2020 test year rate case, the regulatory liability for Hawaiian Electric will be amortized over five years, beginning in November 2020, and the O&M benefits for Hawaiian Electric
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued (Unaudited)
was considered flowed through to customers. As part of the PBR proceeding, the regulatory liability as of December 31, 2020 of approximately $1.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively, for Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric was flowed to customers as part of the customer dividend in the annual revenue adjustment in 2021.
At the PUC’s direction, the Utilities have been filing Semi-Annual Enterprise System Benefits (SAESB) reports on the achieved benefits savings. The most recent SAESB report was filed on February 26, 2021 for the period July 1 through December 31, 2020.
Environmental regulation. The Utilities are subject to environmental laws and regulations that regulate the operation of existing facilities, the construction and operation of new facilities and the proper cleanup and disposal of hazardous waste and toxic substances.
Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, like other utilities, periodically encounter petroleum or other chemical releases associated with current or previous operations. The Utilities report and take action on these releases when and as required by applicable law and regulations. The Utilities believe the costs of responding to such releases identified to date will not have a material effect, individually or in the aggregate, on Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
Former Molokai Electric Company generation site. In 1989, Maui Electric acquired Molokai Electric Company. Molokai Electric Company had sold its former generation site (Site) in 1983, but continued to operate at the Site under a lease until 1985. The federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has since identified environmental impacts in the subsurface soil at the Site. In cooperation with the DOH and EPA, Maui Electric further investigated the Site and the Adjacent Parcel to determine the extent of impacts of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), residual fuel oils and other subsurface contaminants. Maui Electric has a reserve balance of $2.7 million as of June 30, 2021, representing the probable and reasonably estimable undiscounted cost for remediation of the Site and the Adjacent Parcel; however, final costs of remediation will depend on the cleanup approach implemented.
Pearl Harbor sediment study. In July 2014, the U.S. Navy notified Hawaiian Electric of the Navy’s determination that Hawaiian Electric is a Potentially Responsible Party responsible for the costs of investigation and cleanup of PCBs contamination in sediment in the area offshore of the Waiau Power Plant as part of the Pearl Harbor Superfund Site. Hawaiian Electric was also required by the EPA to assess potential sources and extent of PCB contamination onshore at Waiau Power Plant.
As of June 30, 2021, the reserve account balance recorded by Hawaiian Electric to address the PCB contamination was $10.5 million. The reserve balance represents the probable and reasonably estimable undiscounted cost for the onshore and offshore investigation and remediation. The final remediation costs will depend on the actual onshore and offshore cleanup costs.
Regulatory proceedings
Decoupling. Decoupling is a regulatory model that is intended to provide the Utilities with financial stability and facilitate meeting the State of Hawaii’s goals to transition to a clean energy economy and achieve an aggressive renewable portfolio standard. Prior to the implementation of the performance-based regulation framework (PBR Framework), the decoupling mechanism had the following major components: (1) monthly revenue balancing account (RBA) revenues or refunds for the difference between PUC-approved target revenues and recorded adjusted revenues, which delinks revenues from kWh sales, (2) rate adjustment mechanism (RAM) revenues for escalation in certain O&M expenses and rate base changes, (3) major project interim recovery (MPIR) adjustment mechanism, (4) performance incentive mechanisms (PIMs), and (5) an earnings sharing mechanism (ESM), which would provide for a reduction of revenues between rate cases in the event the utility exceeds the return on average common equity (ROACE) allowed in its most recent rate case.
Performance-based regulation framework. On December 23, 2020, the PUC issued a D&O (PBR D&O) approving the new PBR Framework. Under the PBR Framework, the Utilities’ decoupling will continue to be used with modifications, as described below. The existing cost recovery mechanisms will continue as currently implemented (e.g., the Energy Cost Recovery Clause (ECRC), Purchased Power Adjustment Clause (PPAC), Demand Side Management surcharge (DSM), Renewable Energy Infrastructure Program (REIP), Demand Response Adjustment Clause (DRAC), Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) tracking mechanisms). In addition to annual revenues provided by the annual revenue adjustment (ARA), the Utilities may seek relief for extraordinary projects or programs through the Exceptional Project Recovery Mechanism (EPRM) (formerly known as the MPIR adjustment mechanism) and earn financial rewards for exemplary performance as provided through a portfolio of PIMs and Shared Savings Mechanisms (SSMs). The PBR Framework will incorporate a variety of other performance mechanisms, including Scorecards, Reported Metrics, and an expedited Pilot Process. The PBR Framework also contains a number of safeguards, including a symmetric ESM which protects the Utilities
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued (Unaudited)
and customers from excessive earnings or losses, as measured by the Utilities’ Return on Equity (ROE) and a Re-Opener mechanism, under which the PUC will open an examination, at its discretion, to determine if adjustments or modifications to specific PBR mechanisms are appropriate.
Rate adjustment mechanism. The RAM is based on the lesser of: a) an inflationary adjustment for certain O&M expenses and return on investment for certain rate base changes, or b) cumulative annual compounded increase in Gross Domestic Product Price Index applied to annualized target revenues (the RAM Cap). All Utilities were limited to the RAM Cap in 2020. Under the PBR Framework, the ARA mechanism replaced the RAM, and became effective on June 1, 2021. The transition to the ARA includes the continuation of the 2020 RAM revenue adjustment.
Annual revenue adjustment mechanism. The PBR Framework established a five-year multi-year rate period during which there will be no general rate cases. Target revenues will be adjusted according to an index-driven ARA based on (i) an inflation factor, (ii) a predetermined X-factor to encompass productivity, which is set at zero, (iii) a Z-factor to account for exceptional circumstances not in the Utilities’ control and (iv) a customer dividend consisting of a negative adjustment of 0.22% compounded annually and a flow through of the “pre-PBR” savings commitment from the management audit recommendations developed in a prior docket.
As a result of an Order issued by the PUC pursuant to a motion for partial reconsideration the customer dividend for “pre-PBR” savings commitment portion to be delivered to customers will be at a rate of $6.6 million per year from 2021 to 2025, and the Enterprise Resource Planning system benefits savings of $3.9 million, to be delivered to customers in 2021. The implementation of the ARA occurred on June 1, 2021.
Earnings sharing mechanism. A symmetrical ESM for actual return on equity outside of a 300 basis points dead band above and below a target ROE of 9.5%, which is the current authorized ROE for the Utilities. There is a 50/50 sharing between customers and Utilities for the actual earnings falling within 150 basis points outside of the dead band in either direction, and a 90/10 sharing for any further difference. A reopening or review of the PBR terms will be triggered if the Utilities credit rating outlook indicates a potential credit downgrade below investment grade status, or if its earned ROE enters the outer most tier of the ESM.
Major project interim recovery. On April 27, 2017, the PUC issued an order that provided guidelines for interim recovery of revenues to support major projects placed in service between general rate cases.
Projects eligible for recovery through the MPIR adjustment mechanism are major projects (i.e., projects with capital expenditures net of customer contributions in excess of $2.5 million), including, but not restricted to, renewable energy, energy efficiency, utility scale generation, grid modernization and smaller qualifying projects grouped into programs for review. The MPIR adjustment mechanism provides the opportunity to recover revenues for approved costs of eligible projects placed in service between general rate cases wherein cost recovery is limited by a revenue cap and is not provided by other effective recovery mechanisms. The request for PUC approval must include a business case, and all costs that are allowed to be recovered through the MPIR adjustment mechanism must be offset by any related benefits. The guidelines provide for accrual of revenues approved for recovery upon in-service date to be collected from customers through the annual RBA tariff. Capital projects that are not recovered through the MPIR would be included in the RAM and be subject to the RAM Cap, until the next rate case when the Utilities would request recovery in base rates.
On May 26, 2021, the PUC approved 2021 MPIR amounts totaling $21.8 million, including revenue taxes, for the Schofield Generating Station ($17.6 million), West Loch PV Project ($3.3 million), and Grid Modernization Strategy Phase 1 project ($0.9 million for all three utilities) for the accrual of revenues effective January 1, 2021, that included the 2021 return on project amount (based on approved amounts) in rate base, depreciation and incremental O&M expenses. Under the PBR framework, the Utilities began recovery of the annualized 2021 MPIR amounts effective June 1, 2021 through the RBA rate adjustment.
Exceptional project recovery mechanism. Under the PBR framework, the existing MPIR adjustment mechanism was renamed EPRM to include deferred and O&M expense projects and to permit the Utilities to include the full amount of approved costs in the EPRM for recovery in the first year the project goes into service, pro-rated for the portion of the year the project is in service. Any pending application for MPIR relief submitted by the Utilities prior to the PBR D&O, will be grandfathered under the MPIR Guidelines. The Utilities may alternatively request that pending MPIR applications be reviewed under EPRM Guidelines. EPRM recovery will be in accordance with the EPRM Guidelines limited to the lesser of actual incurred project costs or PUC-approved amounts, net of savings. Currently, the Utilities are seeking EPRM recovery of seven projects with total project costs of $245 million, subject to PUC approval.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued (Unaudited)
Pilot process. The PBR D&O approved a Pilot Process to foster innovation by establishing an expedited implementation process for pilots that test new technologies, programs, business models, and other arrangements. This is intended to support initiatives by the Utilities to test new programs and ideas quickly and elevate any successful pilots for consideration of full-scale implementation. The proposed pilots would be subject to PUC approval with a total annual cap of $10 million. The Pilot Process will feature the two primary activities: an initial “Workplan Development” phase, during which the Utilities identify and scope areas of interests, so as to inform the subsequent “Implementation” phase, during which the Utilities submit specific pilot proposals for expedited review by the PUC and implement the pilot upon approval. The PUC will issue an order, approving, denying, or modifying a proposed Pilot within 45 days of receiving notice of a specific pilot project.
On July 9, 2021, the PUC issued an order approving the Utilities’ proposed Pilot Process submitted in April 2021, including a cost recovery process that generally allows the Utilities to defer and recover total annual expenditures of approved pilot projects in full over twelve months beginning June 1 of the year following implementation through the RBA rate adjustment, although the Utilities may determine on a case-by-case basis that a particular project’s deferred costs should be amortized over a period greater than twelve months.
Performance incentive mechanisms. The PUC has established the following PIMs: (1) Service Quality performance incentives, (2) Phase 1 Request for proposal (RFP) PIM for procurement of low-cost renewable energy, (3) Phase 2 RFP PIMs for generation and generation plus storage project, and Grid Services and standalone storage.
•Service Quality performance incentives (ongoing). Service Quality performance incentives are measured on a calendar-year basis. The PIM tariff requires the performance targets, deadbands and the amount of maximum financial incentives used to determine the PIM financial incentive levels for each of the PIMs to be re-determined upon issuance of an interim or final order in a general rate case for each utility.
•Service Reliability Performance measured by System Average Interruption Duration and Frequency Indexes (penalties only). Target performance is based on each utility’s historical 10-year average performance with a deadband of one standard deviation. The maximum penalty for each performance index is 20 basis points applied to the common equity share of each respective utility’s approved rate base (or maximum penalties of approximately $6.8 million - for both indices in total for the three utilities).
•Call Center Performance measured by the percentage of calls answered within 30 seconds. Target performance is based on the annual average performance for each utility for the most recent 8 quarters with a deadband of 3% above and below the target. The maximum penalty or reward is 8 basis points applied to the common equity share of each respective utility’s approved rate base (or maximum penalties or rewards of approximately $1.4 million - in total for the three utilities).
In December 2020, the Utilities accrued $0.9 million in estimated rewards for call center performance, net of service reliability penalties, for 2020. The net service quality performance rewards related to 2020 was reflected in the 2021 annual decoupling filing which was approved by the PUC on May 26, 2021, resulting in an increase to customer rates effective June 1, 2021.
•Phase 1 RFP PIM. Procurement of low-cost variable renewable resources through the RFP process in 2018 is measured by comparison of the procurement price to target prices. Half of the incentive was earned upon PUC approval of the PPAs. Based on the seven PPAs approved in 2019, the Utilities recognized $1.7 million in 2019 with the remaining award to be recognized in the year following the in-service date of the projects, which is estimated to occur from 2023 to 2024.
•Phase 2 RFP PIMs. The PUC order issued on October 9, 2019 establishes pricing thresholds, timelines to complete contracting, and other performance criteria for the performance incentive eligibility. The PIMs provide incentives only without penalties. The order requires contracts under the Grid Service RFP be filed for approval by May 2020 (subsequently extended to July 9, 2020), and by September 2020 under the Renewable RFPs, with a declining PIM for projects that are not filed by these deadlines. On July 9, 2020, the Utilities filed two Grid Service Purchase Agreements for the Grid Service RFP that potentially qualify for a demand response PIM, however, details of the incentive metrics will be determined by the PUC. On September 15, 2020, the Utilities filed eight power purchase agreements for the Phase 2 RFP. Of those eight, only one project qualified for a potential PIM incentive. On February 16, 2021, the Utilities filed one additional power purchase agreement that qualifies for the declining PIM. On December 31, 2020, the PUC approved the two Grid Services Purchase Agreements without further clarification regarding the demand response PIM. The Utility filed a letter in January 2021 with the PUC seeking guidance on the next steps to define the demand response incentive metric details.
•The PUC established the following two new PIMs in its PBR D&O, which were approved in an order issued on March 23, 2021 and became effective on June 1, 2021.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued (Unaudited)
•Renewable portfolio standard (RPS)-A PIM that provides a financial reward for accelerating the achievement of RPS goals. The Utilities may earn a reward for the amount of system generation above the interpolated statutory RPS goal at $20/MWh in 2021 and 2022, $15/MWh in 2023, and $10/MWh for the remainder of the multi-year rate period (MRP). Penalties are already prescribed in the RPS as $20/MWh for failing to meet RPS targets in 2030, 2040 and 2045. The evaluation period commenced on January 1, 2021.
•Grid Services Procurement PIM that provides financial rewards for grid services acquired in 2021 and 2022. The Utilities can earn a total maximum reward of $1.5 million over 2021 and 2022. The evaluation period commenced on January 1, 2021.

Most recent rate proceedings.
Hawaiian Electric 2020 test year rate case. On October 22, 2020, the PUC issued a final D&O approving the stipulated settlement agreement filed in the proceeding. As a result, there will be no increase in base electric rates established in the 2017 test year rate case. In the final D&O, the PUC approved the capital structure that consists of a 58% total equity ratio, and a ROACE of 9.5% for the 2020 test year. The resulting return on rate base (RORB) is 7.37%. The D&O approved the agreement to implement the overall lower depreciation rates approved in the last depreciation study proceeding, effective January 1, 2020. See “Annual revenue adjustment mechanism” under “Performance-based regulation framework” above, regarding the PUC’s decision on the treatment of Hawaiian Electric’s Management Audit savings commitment. Hawaiian Electric’s proposed RBA provision tariff and ECRC tariff submitted on November 6, 2020 were approved by the PUC on December 11, 2020 and took effect on January 1, 2021.
Hawaii Electric Light 2019 test year rate case. On July 28, 2020, the PUC issued a final D&O, approving the Stipulated Partial Settlement Letter in part and ordering final rates for the 2019 test year to remain at current effective rates such that there is a zero increase in rates. The PUC determined that an appropriate ROACE for the 2019 test year is 9.5%, approved a capital structure of 58% total equity and approved as fair a 7.52% RORB. In addition, the order, among others, (1) approved a 10-year amortization period for the state investment tax credit; and (2) approved a modification to Hawaii Electric Light’s ECRC to incorporate a 98%/2% risk-sharing split between customers and Hawaii Electric Light with an annual maximum exposure cap of +/- $600,000. The proposed final tariffs and PIM tariffs took effect on November 1, 2020, and the ECRC tariff took effect on January 1, 2021.
Regulatory assets for COVID-19 related costs. On May 4, 2020, the PUC issued an order, authorizing all utilities, including the Utilities, to establish regulatory assets to record costs resulting from the suspension of disconnections of service during the pendency of the Governor’s Emergency Proclamation and until otherwise ordered by the PUC. In future proceedings, the PUC will consider the reasonableness of the costs, the appropriate period of recovery, any amount of carrying costs thereon, and any savings directly attributable to suspension of disconnects, and other related matters. As part of the order, the PUC prohibits the Utilities from charging late payment fees on past due payments. On June 30, 2020, the PUC issued an order approving the Utilities’ request made in April 2020 for deferral treatment of COVID-19 related costs through December 31, 2020. On March 8, 2021, the PUC approved the Utilities’ request to extend the deferral period to June 30, 2021. The Utilities’ request to extend the deferral period to December 31, 2021 is pending PUC approval. The Utilities are required to file quarterly reports to update the Utilities’ financial condition, report measures in place to assist their customers during the COVID-19 emergency situation, identify the planned deferred costs and details for the deferred costs, and identify funds received or benefits received that have resulted from the COVID-19 emergency period. The recovery of the regulatory assets would be determined in a subsequent proceeding and management believes the deferred costs are probable of recovery. In addition, starting in December 2020 and monthly moving forward until otherwise ordered by the PUC, the Utilities are required to file information on, among other things, number of customers, arrears balances, payment arrangements entered into, and available assistance used to assists customer bill payment. The monthly report is intended to assist the PUC in determining next steps regarding appropriate regulatory measures. As of June 30, 2021, the Utilities recorded a total of $25.6 million in regulatory assets pursuant to the orders.
Collective bargaining agreement. As of June 30, 2021, approximately 47% of the Utilities’ employees are members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, AFL-CIO, Local 1260. The current collective bargaining agreement with the union is set to expire on October 31, 2021. The Utilities are currently renegotiating the contract with the union.
Condensed consolidating financial information. Condensed consolidating financial information for Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries are presented for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

* Issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies or sponsored agencies
ASB does not believe that the investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, represent a credit loss. Total gross unrealized losses were primarily attributable to change in market conditions. On a quarterly basis the investment securities are evaluated for changes in financial condition of the issuer. Based upon ASB’s evaluation, all securities held within the investment portfolio continue to be investment grade by one or more agencies. The contractual cash flows of the U.S. Treasury, federal agency obligations and agency mortgage-backed securities are backed by the full faith and credit guaranty of the United States government or an agency of the government. ASB does not intend to sell the securities before the recovery of its amortized cost basis and there have been no adverse changes in the timing of the contractual cash flows for the securities. ASB’s investment securities portfolio did not require an allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
U.S. Treasury, federal agency obligations, corporate bonds, and mortgage revenue bonds have contractual terms to maturity. Mortgage-backed securities have contractual terms to maturity, but require periodic payments to reduce principal. In addition, expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers have the right to prepay the underlying mortgages.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued (Unaudited)
The contractual maturities of investment securities were as follows:

Credit quality. ASB performs an internal loan review and grading on an ongoing basis. The review provides management with periodic information as to the quality of the loan portfolio and effectiveness of its lending policies and procedures. The objectives of the loan review and grading procedures are to identify, in a timely manner, existing or emerging credit trends so that appropriate steps can be initiated to manage risk and avoid or minimize future losses. Loans subject to grading include commercial, commercial real estate and commercial construction loans.
Each commercial and commercial real estate loan is assigned an Asset Quality Rating (AQR) reflecting the likelihood of repayment or orderly liquidation of that loan transaction pursuant to regulatory credit classifications: Pass, Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful, and Loss. The AQR is a function of the probability of default model rating, the loss given default, and possible non-model factors which impact the ultimate collectability of the loan such as character of the business owner/guarantor, interim period performance, litigation, tax liens and major changes in business and economic conditions. Pass exposures generally are well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the asset or underlying collateral. Special Mention loans have potential weaknesses that, if left uncorrected, could jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Substandard loans have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt and are characterized by the distinct possibility that ASB may sustain some loss. An asset classified Doubtful has the weaknesses of those classified Substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. An asset classified Loss is considered uncollectible and has such little value that its continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted.

ASB did not recognize interest on nonaccrual loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Troubled debt restructurings. A loan modification is deemed to be a TDR when the borrower is determined to be experiencing financial difficulties and ASB grants a concession it would not otherwise consider.
The allowance for credit losses on TDR loans that do not share risk characteristics are individually evaluated based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective original contractual rate or based on the fair value of collateral less cost to sell. The financial impact of the estimated loss is an increase to the allowance associated with the modified loan. When available information confirms that specific loans or portions thereof are uncollectible (confirmed losses), these amounts are charged off against the allowance for credit losses.
Loan modifications that occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

1 The period end balances reflect all paydowns and charge-offs since the modification period. TDRs fully paid off, charged-off, or foreclosed upon by period end are not included.
There were no loans modified in TDRs that experienced a payment default of 90 days or more during the second quarter and first six months of 2021 and 2020.
If a loan modified in a TDR subsequently defaults, ASB evaluates the loan for further impairment. Based on its evaluation, adjustments may be made in the allocation of the allowance or partial charge-offs may be taken to further write-down the carrying value of the loan. Commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loan terms have been modified in a TDR totaled nil at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) provides that a financial institution may elect to suspend the requirements under GAAP for certain loan modifications that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR and any related impairment for accounting purposes.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of Governors of the FRB, the FDIC, the National Credit Union Administration, the OCC, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, in consultation with the state financial regulators (collectively, the “agencies”) issued a joint interagency statement (issued March 22, 2020; revised statement issued April 7, 2020). Some of the provisions applicable to the Company include, but are not limited to accounting for loan modifications, past due reporting and nonaccrual status and charge-offs.
Loan modifications that do not meet the conditions of the CARES Act may still qualify as a modification that does not need to be accounted for as a TDR. The agencies confirmed with the FASB staff that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief are not TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or insignificant delays in payment. Financial institutions are not expected to designate loans with deferrals granted due to COVID-19 as past due because of the deferral. A loan’s payment date is governed by the due date stipulated in the legal agreement. If a financial institution agrees to a payment deferral, these loans would not be considered past due during the period of the deferral. Lastly, during short-term COVID-19 modifications, these loans generally should not be reported as nonaccrual or as classified.
Collateral-dependent loans. A loan is considered collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment of the loan is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral.

ASB had $3.8 million of mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that were in the process of foreclosure at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs). In its mortgage banking business, ASB sells residential mortgage loans to government-sponsored entities and other parties, who may issue securities backed by pools of such loans. ASB retains no beneficial interests in these loans other than the servicing rights of certain loans sold.
ASB received proceeds from the sale of residential mortgages of $95.6 million and $186.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, $266.5 million and $259.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and recognized gains on such sales of $1.9 million and $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, $6.2 million and $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
There were no repurchased mortgage loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The repurchase reserve, which represents ASB’s loss estimate related to mortgage loan repurchases, was $0.1 million as of June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Mortgage servicing fees, a component of other income, net, were $1.0 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and were $1.9 million and $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

ASB capitalizes MSRs acquired upon the sale of mortgage loans with servicing rights retained. On a monthly basis, ASB compares the net carrying value of the MSRs to its fair value to determine if there are any changes to the valuation allowance and/or other-than-temporary impairment for the MSRs.
ASB uses a present value cash flow model to estimate the fair value of MSRs. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for each stratum when the carrying amount exceeds fair value, with any associated provision recorded as a component of loan servicing fees included in “Revenues - bank” in the condensed consolidated statements of income. A direct write-down is recorded when the recoverability of the valuation allowance is deemed to be unrecoverable.
Key assumptions used in estimating the fair value of ASB’s MSRs used in the impairment analysis were as follows:

The effect of a variation in certain assumptions on fair value is calculated without changing any other assumptions. This analysis typically cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of a change in one key assumption to the changes in the fair value of MSRs typically is not linear.
Other borrowings. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, ASB had no FHLB advances outstanding or federal funds purchased with the Federal Reserve Bank. ASB was in compliance with all Advances, Pledge and Security Agreement requirements as of June 30, 2021.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are accounted for as financing transactions and the obligations to repurchase these securities are recorded as liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. ASB pledges investment securities as collateral for securities sold under agreements to repurchase. All such agreements are subject to master netting arrangements, which provide for a conditional right of set-off in case of default by either party; however, ASB presents

The securities underlying the agreements to repurchase are book-entry securities and were delivered by appropriate entry into the counterparties’ accounts or into segregated tri-party custodial accounts at the FHLB. The securities underlying the agreements to repurchase continue to be reflected in ASB’s asset accounts.
Derivative financial instruments. ASB enters into interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) with borrowers, and forward commitments to sell loans or to-be-announced mortgage-backed securities to investors to hedge against the inherent interest rate and pricing risks associated with selling loans.
ASB enters into IRLCs for residential mortgage loans, which commit ASB to lend funds to a potential borrower at a specific interest rate and within a specified period of time. IRLCs that relate to the origination of mortgage loans that will be held for sale are considered derivative financial instruments under applicable accounting guidance. Outstanding IRLCs expose ASB to the risk that the price of the mortgage loans underlying the commitments may decline due to increases in mortgage interest rates from inception of the rate lock to the funding of the loan. The IRLCs are free-standing derivatives which are carried at fair value with changes recorded in mortgage banking income.
ASB enters into forward commitments to hedge the interest rate risk for rate locked mortgage applications in process and closed mortgage loans held for sale. These commitments are primarily forward sales of to-be-announced mortgage backed securities. Generally, when mortgage loans are closed, the forward commitment is liquidated and replaced with a mandatory delivery forward sale of the mortgage to a secondary market investor. In some cases, a best-efforts forward sale agreement is utilized as the forward commitment. These commitments are free-standing derivatives which are carried at fair value with changes recorded in mortgage banking income.
Changes in the fair value of IRLCs and forward commitments subsequent to inception are based on changes in the fair value of the underlying loan resulting from the fulfillment of the commitment and changes in the probability that the loan will fund within the terms of the commitment, which is affected primarily by changes in interest rates and the passage of time.
The notional amount and fair value of ASB’s derivative financial instruments were as follows:

Note 5 · Credit agreements
On May 14, 2021, HEI and Hawaiian Electric (each a Company, and collectively the Companies) each entered into a separate agreement with a syndicate of nine financial institutions (the HEI Facility and Hawaiian Electric Facility, respectively, and together, the Amended Facilities) to amend and restate their respective previously existing revolving unsecured credit agreements. The HEI Facility was increased to $175 million from $150 million and its term was extended to May 14, 2026. The $200 million Hawaiian Electric Facility has an initial term that expires on May 13, 2022, but its term will extend to May 14, 2026 upon approval by the PUC during the initial term, which approval has been requested. In addition to extending the term, Hawaiian Electric also requested PUC approval to exercise its options of two one-year extensions of the commitment termination date and to increase its aggregate revolving commitment amount from $200 million to $275 million, should there be a need.
None of the facilities are collateralized. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facilities.
The Credit Facilities will be maintained to support each company’s respective short-term commercial paper program, but may be drawn on to meet each company’s respective working capital needs and general corporate purposes.
Under the Amended Facilities, draws would generally bear interest, based on each Company’s respective current long-term credit ratings, at the “Adjusted LIBO Rate,” as defined in the Amended Facilities, plus 137.5 and 125.0 basis points for HEI and Hawaiian Electric, respectively, and incur annual fees on undrawn commitments, excluding swingline borrowings, of 20.0 and 17.5 basis points for HEI and Hawaiian Electric, respectively. The Amended Facilities also include provisions to accommodate a transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to an alternative reference rate, based on the secured overnight financing rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, upon the phase out of LIBOR as a reference rate.
Additionally, the Amended Facilities contain provisions for pricing adjustments in the event of a long-term ratings change based on the respective Facility’s ratings-based pricing grid, which includes the ratings by Fitch Ratings, Inc. (Fitch), Moody’s Investor Service’s (Moody’s) and Standard & Poor’s (S&P). The Amended Facilities do not contain clauses that would affect access to the Amended Facilities by reason of a ratings downgrade, nor do they have broad “material adverse change” clauses. In addition, the Amended Facilities contain provisions for potential annual pricing adjustments to the Eurodollar or Alternate Base Rate margin on draws and fees on undrawn commitments of up to +/-5 basis points and +/-1 basis point, respectively, based on performance against certain sustainability-linked metrics. The sustainability-linked metrics include achievement of renewable portfolio standards in excess of statutory requirements and increasing cumulative penetration of installed MWs of photovoltaic systems on residential rooftops.
The Amended Facilities also include updated terms and conditions customary for facilities of this type and contain customary conditions that must be met in order to draw on them, including compliance with covenants (such as covenants preventing HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s respective subsidiaries from entering into agreements that restrict the ability of such subsidiaries to pay dividends to, or to repay borrowings from, HEI or Hawaiian Electric, as applicable; and a covenant in Hawaiian Electric’s facility restricting Hawaiian Electric’s ability, as well as the ability of any of its subsidiaries, to guarantee additional indebtedness of the subsidiaries if such additional debt would cause the subsidiary’s “Consolidated Subsidiary Funded Debt to Capitalization Ratio” (as defined in the Hawaiian Electric Facility) to exceed 65%).
Under the HEI Facility, it is an event of default if HEI fails to maintain an unconsolidated “Capitalization Ratio” (funded debt) (as defined in the HEI Facility) of 50% or less or if HEI no longer owns Hawaiian Electric or ASB. Under the Hawaiian Electric Facility, it is an event of default if Hawaiian Electric fails to maintain a “Consolidated Capitalization Ratio” (equity) (as defined in the Hawaiian Electric Facility) of at least 35%, or if Hawaiian Electric is no longer owned by HEI.
Hawaiian Electric had a $75 million 364-day revolving credit agreement, under which no amounts had been drawn. On April 19, 2021, the revolving credit agreement terminated and was not renewed.

There are no material contract assets or liabilities associated with revenues from contracts with customers existing at December 31, 2020 or as of June 30, 2021. Accounts receivable and unbilled revenues related to contracts with customers
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued (Unaudited)
represent an unconditional right to consideration since all performance obligations have been satisfied. These amounts are disclosed as accounts receivable and unbilled revenues, net on HEI’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and customer accounts receivable, net and accrued unbilled revenues, net on Hawaiian Electric’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company had no material remaining performance obligations due to the nature of the Company’s contracts with its customers. For the Utilities, performance obligations are fulfilled as electricity is delivered to customers. For ASB, fees are recognized when a transaction is completed.

1 Six months ended June 30, 2021 amounts include the one-time cumulative impact of the change in accounting principle for the plans’ fixed income securities from the calculated market-related value method to the fair value method, which was recorded in the first quarter of 2021.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued (Unaudited)
HEI consolidated recorded retirement benefits expense of $23 million ($23 million by the Utilities) in the first six months of 2021 and $31 million ($29 million by the Utilities) in the first six months of 2020 and charged the remaining net periodic benefit cost primarily to electric utility plant.
Effective January 1, 2021, the Company adopted a change in accounting principle for the plans’ fixed income securities from the calculated market-related value method to the fair value method in the calculation of the expected return on plan assets component of NPPC and NPBC. The remaining plan assets continue to use the calculated market-related value methodology. The Company considers the fair value approach to be preferable for its fixed-income securities portfolio because it results in a current reflection of the changes in the value of plan assets in a way similar to the obligations it is intended to hedge. The Company evaluated the effect of this change in accounting principle and deemed it to be immaterial to the historical financial statements of the Company and Hawaiian Electric and, therefore, did not account for the change retrospectively and recorded the cumulative effects from the change in accounting principle in earnings for non-Utility businesses in the first quarter of 2021. Amounts related to the Utilities were reflected as adjustments to regulatory assets as appropriate, consistent with the expected regulatory treatment as described in the following paragraph.
The Utilities have implemented pension and OPEB tracking mechanisms under which all of their retirement benefit expenses (except for executive life and nonqualified pension plan expenses) determined in accordance with GAAP are recovered over time. Under the tracking mechanisms, any actual costs determined in accordance with GAAP that are over/under amounts allowed in rates are charged/credited to a regulatory asset/liability. The regulatory asset/liability for each utility will then be amortized over 5 years beginning with the respective utility’s next rate case.
Defined contribution plans information. For the first six months of 2021 and 2020, the Company’s expenses for its defined contribution plans under the Hawaiian Electric Industries Retirement Savings Plan (HEIRSP) and the ASB 401(k) Plan were $3.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively, and cash contributions were $3.2 million and $4.6 million, respectively. For the first six months of 2021 and 2020, the Utilities’ expenses and cash contributions for its defined contribution plan under the HEIRSP were $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively.
Note 9 · Share-based compensation
Under the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan, as amended, HEI can issue shares of common stock as incentive compensation to selected employees in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance shares and other share-based and cash-based awards. The 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan (original EIP) was amended and restated effective March 1, 2014 (EIP) and an additional 1.5 million shares were added to the shares available for issuance under these programs.
As of June 30, 2021, approximately 2.9 million shares remained available for future issuance under the terms of the EIP, assuming recycling of shares withheld to satisfy minimum statutory tax liabilities relating to EIP awards, including an estimated 0.8 million shares that could be issued upon the vesting of outstanding restricted stock units and the achievement of performance goals for awards outstanding under long-term incentive plans (assuming that such performance goals are achieved at maximum levels).
Under the 2011 Nonemployee Director Stock Plan (2011 Director Plan), HEI can issue shares of common stock as compensation to nonemployee directors of HEI, Hawaiian Electric and ASB. In June 2019, an additional 300,000 shares were made available for issuance under the 2011 Director Plan. As of June 30, 2021, there were 244,843 shares remaining available for future issuance under the 2011 Director Plan.
Share-based compensation expense and the related income tax benefit were as follows:

(1) Weighted-average grant-date fair value per share based on the average price of HEI common stock on the date of grant.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, total restricted stock units and related dividends that vested had a fair value of $3.0 million and $4.2 million, respectively, and the related tax benefits were $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively.
As of June 30, 2021, there was $7.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the nonvested restricted stock units. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years.
Long-term incentive plan payable in stock. The 2019-2021, 2020-2022 and 2021-2023 long-term incentive plans (LTIP) provide for performance awards under the EIP of shares of HEI common stock based on the satisfaction of performance goals, including a market condition goal. The number of shares of HEI common stock that may be awarded is fixed on the date the grants are made, subject to the achievement of specified performance levels and calculated dividend equivalents. The potential payout varies from 0% to 200% of the number of target shares, depending on the achievement of the goals. The market condition goal is based on HEI’s total shareholder return (TSR) compared to the Edison Electric Institute Index over the relevant three-year period. The other performance condition goals relate to EPS growth, return on average common equity (ROACE), renewable portfolio standards, Hawaiian Electric’s net income growth, ASB’s efficiency ratio and strategic initiatives and Pacific Current’s EBITDA growth and return on average invested capital.
LTIP linked to TSR. Information about HEI’s LTIP grants linked to TSR was as follows:

(1) Weighted-average grant-date fair value per share determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model.
The grant date fair values of the shares were determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model utilizing actual information for the common shares of HEI and its peers for the period from the beginning of the performance period to the grant date and
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued (Unaudited)
estimated future stock volatility of HEI and its peers over the remaining three-year performance period. The expected stock volatility assumptions for HEI and its peer group were based on the three-year historic stock volatility. A dividend assumption is not required for the Monte Carlo simulation because the grant payout includes dividend equivalents and projected returns include the value of reinvested dividends.
The following table summarizes the assumptions used to determine the fair value of the LTIP awards linked to TSR and the resulting fair value of LTIP awards granted:

(1) Weighted-average grant-date fair value per share based on the average price of HEI common stock on the date of grant.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, total vested LTIP awards linked to other performance conditions and related dividends had a fair value of $1.7 million and $7.6 million, respectively, and the related tax benefits were $0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively.
As of June 30, 2021, there was $6.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the nonvested shares linked to performance conditions other than TSR. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.
Note 10 · Income taxes
The Company’s and the Utilities’ effective tax rates (combined federal and state income tax rates) were each 21%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021. These rates differed from the combined statutory rates, due primarily to the Utilities’ amortization of excess deferred income taxes related to the provision in the Tax Act that lowered the federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%, the tax benefits derived from the low income housing tax credit investments and the non-taxability of the bank-owned life insurance income. The Company’s and the Utilities’ effective tax rates were 17% and 19%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
In August 2020, the Internal Revenue Service notified the Company that its 2017 and 2018 income tax returns would be examined. The Company was previously audited every year through 2011, at which time the IRS changed their internal policies regarding audit frequency. The Company has received several initial requests for general tax return information and has responded or is in the process of responding to such requests.

Note 12 · Fair value measurements
Fair value measurement and disclosure valuation methodology. The following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not carried at fair value:
Short-term borrowings—other than bank. The carrying amount of short-term borrowings approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Investment securities. The fair value of ASB’s investment securities is determined quarterly through pricing obtained from independent third-party pricing services or from brokers not affiliated with the trade. Non-binding broker quotes are infrequent and generally occur for new securities that are settled close to the month-end pricing date. The third-party pricing vendors ASB uses for pricing its securities are reputable firms that provide pricing services on a global basis and have processes in place to ensure quality and control. The third-party pricing services use a variety of methods to determine the fair value of securities that fall under Level 2 of ASB’s fair value measurement hierarchy. Among the considerations are quoted prices for similar securities in an active market, yield spreads for similar trades, adjustments for liquidity, size, collateral characteristics, historic and generic prepayment speeds, and other observable market factors.
To enhance the robustness of the pricing process, ASB will on a quarterly basis compare its standard third-party vendor’s price with that of another third-party vendor. If the prices are within an acceptable tolerance range, the price of the standard vendor will be accepted. If the variance is beyond the tolerance range, an evaluation will be conducted by ASB and a challenge to the price may be made. Fair value in such cases will be based on the value that best reflects the data and observable
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued (Unaudited)
characteristics of the security. In all cases, the fair value used will have been independently determined by a third-party pricing vendor or non-affiliated broker.
The fair value of the mortgage revenue bonds is estimated using a discounted cash flow model to calculate the present value of future principal and interest payments and, therefore is classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Loans held for sale. Residential and commercial loans are carried at the lower of cost or market and are valued using market observable pricing inputs, which are derived from third party loan sales and, therefore, are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Loans held for investment. Fair value of loans held for investment is derived using a discounted cash flow approach which includes an evaluation of the underlying loan characteristics. The valuation model uses loan characteristics which includes product type, maturity dates and the underlying interest rate of the portfolio. This information is input into the valuation models along with various forecast valuation assumptions including prepayment forecasts, to determine the discount rate. These assumptions are derived from internal and third party sources. Since the valuation is derived from model-based techniques, ASB includes loans held for investment within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Collateral dependent loans. Collateral dependent loans have been adjusted to fair value. When a loan is identified as collateral dependent, the Company measures the impairment using the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs. Depending on the characteristics of a loan, the fair value of collateral is generally estimated by obtaining external appraisals, but in some cases, the value of the collateral may be estimated as having little or no value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. If it is determined that the value of the collateral dependent loan is less than its recorded investment, the Company recognizes this impairment and adjusts the carrying value of the loan to fair value through the allowance for credit losses.
Real estate acquired in settlement of loans. Foreclosed assets are carried at fair value (less estimated costs to sell) and are generally based upon appraisals or independent market prices that are periodically updated subsequent to classification as real estate owned. Such adjustments typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. ASB estimates the fair value of collateral-dependent loans and real estate owned using the sales comparison approach.
Mortgage servicing rights. MSRs are capitalized at fair value based on market data at the time of sale and accounted for in subsequent periods at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. MSRs are evaluated for impairment at each reporting date. ASB's MSRs are stratified based on predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans including loan type and note rate. For each stratum, fair value is calculated by discounting expected net income streams using discount rates that reflect industry pricing for similar assets. Expected net income streams are estimated based on industry assumptions regarding prepayment expectations and income and expenses associated with servicing residential mortgage loans for others. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for each stratum when the carrying amount exceeds fair value, with any associated provision recorded as a component of loan servicing fees included in "Revenues - bank" in the consolidated statements of income. A direct write-down is recorded when the recoverability of the valuation allowance is deemed to be unrecoverable. ASB compares the fair value of MSRs to an estimated value calculated by an independent third-party. The third-party relies on both published and unpublished sources of market related assumptions and its own experience and expertise to arrive at a value. ASB uses the third-party value only to assess the reasonableness of its own estimate. ASB includes MSRs within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Time deposits. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for FHLB advances of similar remaining maturities. Deposit liabilities are classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Other borrowings. For advances and repurchase agreements, fair value is estimated using quantitative discounted cash flow models that require the use of interest rate inputs that are currently offered for advances and repurchase agreements of similar remaining maturities. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including broker market transactions and third party pricing services.
Long-term debt—other than bank. Fair value of fixed-rate long-term debt—other than bank was obtained from third-party financial services providers based on the current rates offered for debt of the same or similar remaining maturities and from discounting the future cash flows using the current rates offered for debt of the same or similar risks, terms, and remaining maturities. The carrying amount of floating rate long-term debt—other than bank approximated fair value because of the short-term interest reset periods. Long-term debt—other than bank is classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs). The estimated fair value of commitments to originate residential mortgage loans for sale is based on quoted prices for similar loans in active markets. IRLCs are classified as Level 2 measurements.

Forward sales commitments. To be announced (TBA) mortgage-backed securities forward commitments are classified as Level 1, and consist of publicly-traded debt securities for which identical fair values can be obtained through quoted market prices in active exchange markets. The fair values of ASB’s best efforts and mandatory delivery loan sale commitments are determined using quoted prices in the market place that are observable and are classified as Level 2 measurements.
The following table presents the carrying or notional amount, fair value and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments.

Mortgage revenue bonds are issued by the Department of Budget and Finance of the State of Hawaii. The Company estimates the fair value by using a discounted cash flow model to calculate the present value of estimated future principal and interest payments. The unobservable input used in the fair value measurement is the weighted average discount rate. As of June 30, 2021, the weighted average discount rate was 2.05%, which was derived by incorporating a credit spread over the one month LIBOR rate. Significant increases (decreases) in the weighted average discount rate could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

Fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis. Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and therefore are not included in the tables above. These measurements primarily result from assets carried at the lower of cost or fair value or from impairment of individual assets. The carrying value of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis were as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion updates “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s 2020 Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with such discussion and the 2020 annual consolidated financial statements of HEI and Hawaiian Electric and notes thereto included in HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s 2020 Form 10-K, as well as the quarterly (as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021) condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Form 10-Q.
HEI consolidated
Recent developments—COVID-19.
Economic conditions in Hawaii have improved significantly from the start of the year and continue to improve, with daily passenger count for July 2021 achieving 89% of the passenger counts for the same month in 2019. Hawaii vaccinations have increased at a rapid pace, with approximately 60.3% of the state’s population fully vaccinated as of August 1, 2021. New COVID-19 cases in Hawaii remained at a relatively low level and continued trending down at the end of the second quarter. However, starting in mid July, as the Delta variant became more prevalent, case counts have started to increase with approximately 349 average daily new cases (7-day moving average) as of August 1, 2021.
Starting on July 8, 2021, vaccinated travelers will no longer need to quarantine or take a COVID-19 pretest if they present proof of vaccination. As a result, the Company expects that the Hawaii economy will continue to improve as tourism numbers increase. In the second quarter of 2021, kWh sales remained below pre-pandemic levels, but were 8.1% higher than the same period in 2020 due to increased economic activity following the loosening of restrictions and an increase in tourism. While the level of kWh sales does not affect Utility revenues due to decoupling, it may increase or decrease the price per kWh paid by customers. See “Decoupling” in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of decoupling.
At the Bank, improved credit quality from a strengthening Hawaii economy resulted in credit upgrades within the commercial real estate and commercial loan portfolios and lower net charge-offs which allowed ASB to record a $12.2 million negative provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2021.
While economic conditions have improved, the Company remains focused on the continued safety and well-being of customers, employees, their families and the community. The Company’s mandatory work-from-home policy remains in effect through October 1, 2021 for certain employees and this policy has not impaired the Company’s ability to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting. For personnel that cannot perform their work remotely, the Company has maintained safety protocols and policies to keep employees safe, while at the same time ensuring the reliability and resilience of its operations.
For further discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our subsidiaries see “Recent Developments—COVID-19” in the Electric Utility and Bank sections below. There has been no material impact on the “Other” segment and Pacific Current as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as the primary businesses of Pacific Current are supported by PPAs that provide for contractual cash flows with credit-worthy counterparties.
For a discussion regarding the impact of the economic conditions caused by the pandemic on the Company’s liquidity and capital resources, see discussion under “Financial Condition–Liquidity and capital resources,” contained in each of the “HEI Consolidated,” “Electric utility” and “Bank” sections of this MD&A.
Environmental, Social & Governance.
At HEI, environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles and sustainability have long been fundamental values embedded within all aspects of the Company’s activities. With all of its operations isolated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the Company’s long-term health, and ability to deliver sustainable value for all stakeholders—including shareholders—is inextricably linked to the well-being of its employees, communities, economy, and environment. That is why the Company sees its mission of being a catalyst for a better Hawaii as advancing the Company’s long-term financial performance and sustainability. The Company has focused on ensuring ESG considerations are appropriately integrated into its governance structures, strategies and risk management. This includes:
•Integration of Board oversight of important ESG matters into its existing governance structures and processes. This includes full Board review of ESG-related strategies, Audit & Risk Committee oversight of ESG risks, Compensation Committee responsibility for ESG-related compensation matters and Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee responsibility for human capital management and for ensuring an appropriate board governance framework is in place with respect to ESG.
•Robust ESG expertise among board members, including directors with direct experience in renewable energy, climate change policy and strategy, environmental management and sustainable investing.
•Expanded ESG goals as part of HEI and Utility executive incentive compensation.
•ESG considerations explicitly woven into strategic planning efforts and enterprise risk management processes.
The Company is committed to transparency and providing information to allow customers, community leaders, investors and other stakeholders understand how the Company’s strategies and operations advance ESG objectives and contribute to long-term value creation.
The Company issued its first ESG report in September 2020. The report encompassed ESG policies, principles and results reported during 2019 across the Company’s two primary operating subsidiaries, Hawaiian Electric and ASB, and was aligned with Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) guidance—using the electric utilities standard for Hawaiian Electric, and the commercial banks, commercial finance, and mortgage finance standards for ASB. On April 22, 2021, the Company issued its second ESG report. This report continues to include SASB disclosures for Hawaiian Electric and ASB and incorporates disclosures regarding risks and opportunities related to climate change, as well as associated risk management and governance processes, based on recommendations from the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures. It also outlines key impacts for the Company under two climate scenarios, including a scenario targeted to limit global temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius or lower. The Company’s ESG reports can be found at www.hei.com/esg.

The Company’s effective tax rates for the second quarters of 2021 and 2020 were 22% and 18%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates for the first six months of 2021 and 2020 were 21% and 17%, respectively. The effective tax rates were higher for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 due primarily to an increase in income before taxes in 2021, which reduces the rate impact of certain tax items, lower amortization in 2021 of the Utilities’ regulatory liability related to certain excess deferred income taxes resulting from the Tax Act’s decrease in the federal income tax rate and a decrease in excess tax benefits related to vesting of share-based awards in 2021. These increases were partially offset by higher nontaxable bank owned life insurance income in 2021. The effective tax rate was higher for the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 due primarily to an increase in income before taxes, which reduces the rate impact of certain tax items, and lower amortization in 2021 of the Utilities’ regulatory liability related to certain excess deferred income taxes resulting from the Tax Act’s decrease in the federal income tax rate.
Economic conditions.
Note: The statistical data in this section is from public third-party sources that management believes to be reliable (e.g., Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT), University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization (UHERO), Department of Health of the State of Hawaii , U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DLIR), Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA), Honolulu Board of REALTORS® and national and local news media).
The CARES Act was passed by Congress and signed into law on March 27, 2020. The economic relief package totals more than $2 trillion and provides direct economic support to businesses and individuals. On December 27, 2020, the President signed into law the $900 billion economic stimulus package that provides, among others, direct payments to qualifying individuals, extended unemployment benefits, and additional small business aid. On March 11, 2021, the President signed into law the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package. The plan will send direct payments of up to $1,400 to most Americans. The bill will also extend a $300 per week unemployment insurance boost until September 6 and expand the child tax credit for a year. It will also put nearly $20 billion into COVID-19 vaccinations, $25 billion into rental and utility assistance, and $350 billion into state, local and tribal relief. Hawaii has received a significant amount of funds through these various federal assistance programs that will help attenuate the impact to Hawaii’s economy.
In September 2020, the City and County of Honolulu announced a framework for reducing the spread of COVID-19 on Oahu, which tracks metrics that dictate the extent of restrictions on businesses and activities. There were initially four tiers with Tier 1 being the most restrictive. The minimum amount of time spent in each tier is four weeks. In order to move to the next higher tier, the last two weeks of a tier must meet the higher tier’s criteria. If a lower tier’s average daily case count is realized for two weeks in a row, the county will move back to the lower tier for a minimum of four weeks. On February 25, 2021, the county of Honolulu moved from Tier 2 to Tier 3, which allows greater density for business and other social activities. On June 11, 2021, the county of Honolulu moved from Tier 3 to Tier 4, with fewer restrictions and flexibility for businesses. A new Tier 5 was also announced, which requires that the vaccination rate exceed 60% in order to move into this tier. At a 70% vaccination rate, all restrictions would be lifted. On July 8, 2021, the county of Honolulu moved into Tier 5, which further loosened existing restrictions. As of August 1, 2021, approximately 60.3% of the state’s population have been fully vaccinated with Honolulu County’s rate at 62%.
See “Recent Developments—COVID-19” in the “Electric utility” and “Bank” sections below for further discussion of the economic impact caused by the pandemic.
Hawaii’s tourism industry, a significant driver of Hawaii’s economy, suffered dramatically with a 73.8% reduction in total visitor arrivals in 2020 compared with 2019. Starting October 15, 2020, the state launched its Safe Travels Program that allows travelers to avoid the mandatory 14-day quarantine if they test negative for COVID-19 within 72 hours of departure. Effective July 8, 2021, domestic visitors can now bypass the mandatory quarantine or COVID-19 test by providing proof of vaccination. Since the launch of the Safe Travels Program, the average daily passenger arrivals have steadily improved, but still remain below pre-pandemic levels. For the second quarter of 2021, average daily passenger counts were 2,569.7% higher than the comparable period in the prior year, but still 26.9% below 2019. However, with the ongoing vaccination efforts across the nation and the implementation of the Safe Travels Program, average daily passenger counts have steadily increased throughout the quarter to an average of 23,393 passengers per day, with June average daily passenger counts 303% above January counts. A new 2021 year-to-date high of 35,435 daily visitor arrivals was achieved on August 1, 2021. The recovery in passenger counts thus far has been driven by domestic travelers, with international travelers remaining at low levels due to higher restrictions for international travelers, depending on country of origin. In June, domestic passenger counts were up 3.6% compared to June 2019 pre-COVID levels, while international passenger counts were down 93.3% compared to 2019 pre-COVID levels.
Hawaii’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in June 2021 was 7.7%, which was substantially lower compared to the June 2020 rate of 14.1%. The national unemployment rate in June 2021 was 5.9% compared to 11.1% in June 2020. Hawaii’s unemployment rate is expected to continue to improve now that the job search requirement has been reinstated in order for claimants to receive unemployment benefits, restrictions on travel have been reduced significantly and vaccination rates are approaching State of Hawaii targets that would further lift business restrictions.
Hawaii real estate activity through June 2021, as indicated by Oahu’s home resale market, drove an increase in the median sales price of 6.4% for condominiums and 21% for single-family homes compared to the same period in 2020, with the median single-family home price reaching a record $979,000. The number of closed sales was up 70.7% for condominiums and up 32.9% for single-family residential homes for the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.
Hawaii’s petroleum product prices reflect supply and demand in the Asia-Pacific region and the price of crude oil in international markets. The price of crude oil gradually increased during the 4th quarter of last year and the trend has continued during the first five months of this year.
At its June 16, 2021 meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decided to maintain the federal funds rate target range of 0%-0.25%. The FOMC plans to continue to maintain an accommodative stance of monetary policy to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the long run. The Federal Reserve stated that it will increase its holdings of Treasury securities and agency mortgage-backed securities at least at the current pace to sustain smooth market functioning and help foster accommodative financial conditions, thereby supporting the flow of credit to households and businesses.
The most recent forecast by UHERO, which was issued on May 14, 2021, forecasts full year 2021 real GDP growth of 4.0%, increase in total visitor arrivals of 135.9%, decrease in real personal income of -0.6%, and an unemployment rate of 7.3%. This forecast reflects improvement of Hawaii’s economy compared to the prior forecast as the U.S. visitor market outperforms expectations with increases in vaccinations and broader reopening. However, the international market continues to be much slower to return. A full economic recovery is still forecasted to be several years out.
The Company expects that if economic conditions worsen from current levels or remain depressed for an extended period of time, it could have a material unfavorable impact on the Company’s net revenues or income from continuing operations in 2021.

The second quarters of 2021 and 2020 include $0.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of operating income from Pacific Current1. Second quarter 2021 corporate expense was $0.7 million higher, primarily due to higher charitable contribution expense related to an obligation to make matching contributions under a settlement agreement with the former President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank. The first six months of 2021 and 2020 include $1.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively, of operating income from Pacific Current1. Corporate expenses for the first six months of 2021 was $3.1 million higher than the same period in 2020, primarily due to higher incentive compensation, higher charitable contribution expense related to an obligation to make matching contributions under a settlement agreement with the former President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank and higher charitable donations, due to timing of contributions.

1 Hamakua Energy’s sales to Hawaii Electric Light (a regulated affiliate) are eliminated in consolidation.
The “other” business segment loss includes results of the stand-alone corporate operations of HEI (including eliminations of intercompany transactions) and ASB Hawaii, Inc. (ASB Hawaii), as well as the results of Pacific Current, a direct subsidiary of HEI focused on investing in clean energy and sustainable infrastructure projects; Pacific Current’s indirect subsidiary, Hamakua Energy, which owns a 60-MW combined cycle power plant that provides electricity to Hawaii Electric Light; Pacific Current’s subsidiaries, Mauo, LLC (Mauo), which owns solar-plus-storage projects totaling 8.6 MW on five University of Hawaii campuses, Alenuihaha Developments, LLC, which owns a collection of renewable energy assets, and Ka‘ie‘ie Waho Company, LLC, which owns a 6 MW solar photovoltaic system that provides renewable energy to Kauai Island Utility Cooperative; as well as eliminations of intercompany transactions.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and capital resources. As of June 30, 2021, there was no balance on HEI’s revolving credit facility or Hawaiian Electric’s revolving credit facility and the available committed capacity under the facilities was $175 million and $200 million, respectively. On April 19, 2021, Hawaiian Electric’s $75 million 364-day revolving credit agreement terminated and was not renewed. At the end of the quarter, HEI and Hawaiian Electric had approximately $58 million and $38 million of commercial paper outstanding, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, ASB’s unused FHLB borrowing capacity was approximately $2.0 billion and ASB had unpledged investment securities of $2.3 billion that were available to be used as collateral for additional borrowing capacity.
The Company expects that its liquidity will continue to be moderately impacted at the Utilities due to COVID-19. For the Utilities, the elevated level of unemployment in the state and the moratorium on customer disconnections (which ended on May 31, 2021) have resulted in higher accounts receivable balances and bad debt expense and may result in higher write-offs in the future. Additionally, lower kWh sales generally result in delayed timing of cash flows, resulting in higher working capital requirements (see “Recent Developments—COVID-19” in the Electric utility section below). At ASB, liquidity remains at satisfactory levels largely due to U.S. economic stimulus programs implemented as a result of COVID-19 that led to a
substantial increase in customer deposits. ASB’s cash and cash equivalents was $221 million as of June 30, 2021, compared to $293 million as of December 31, 2020. ASB remains well above the “well capitalized” level under the FDIC Improvement Act prompt correction action capital category, and while the economic outlook has improved and is expected to continue to improve, there are still COVID-19 related business restrictions that remain in place that could create ongoing uncertainty regarding COVID-19’s impact on loan performance and the allowance for credit losses (see “Recent Developments — COVID-19” in the Bank section below).
On May 14, 2021, HEI and Hawaiian Electric each entered into a separate agreement with a syndicate of nine financial institutions (the HEI Facility and Hawaiian Electric Facility, respectively, and together, the Facilities), to amend and restate their respective previously existing unsecured revolving credit agreements. The HEI Facility was increased to $175 million from $150 million and its term was extended to May 14, 2026. The $200 million Hawaiian Electric Facility has an initial term that expires May 13, 2022, but its term will extend to May 14, 2026 upon approval by the PUC during the initial term, which approval is currently being requested.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the total amount of available borrowing capacity (net of commercial paper outstanding) under the Company’s committed lines of credit was approximately $279 million and $360 million, respectively.
The Company believes that its ability to generate cash, both internally from electric utility and banking operations and externally from issuances of equity and debt securities, as well as bank borrowings, is adequate to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund its contractual obligations and commercial commitments, its forecasted capital expenditures and investments, its expected retirement benefit plan contributions and other cash requirements. However, the COVID-19 pandemic is an evolving situation, and the Company cannot predict the extent or duration of the outbreak, the future effects that it will have on the global, national or local economy, including the impact on the Company’s cost of capital and its ability to access additional capital, or the future impacts on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
The consolidated capital structure of HEI (excluding deposit liabilities and other bank borrowings) was as follows:

Note: This table does not include Hawaiian Electric’s separate commercial paper issuances and line of credit facilities and draws, which are disclosed below under “Electric utility—Financial Condition—Liquidity and capital resources.” The maximum amount of HEI’s short-term commercial paper borrowings during the first six months of 2021 was $102 million.
On March 17, 2021, S&P revised HEI’s outlook to stable from positive and affirmed the “BBB-” issuer credit rating and “A-3” short-term and commercial paper ratings. On April 20, 2021, Moody’s upgraded HEI’s short-term rating for commercial paper to “P-2” from “P-3” and revised the outlook to stable from positive. On June 25, 2021, Fitch affirmed HEI’s “BBB” long-term issuer default rating, “F3” short-term issuer default rating and stable outlook.
HEI has a $175 million line of credit facility with no amounts outstanding at June 30, 2021. See Note 5 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
There were no new issuances of common stock through the HEI Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (DRIP), HEIRSP or the ASB 401(k) Plan in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 and HEI satisfied the share purchase requirements of the DRIP, HEIRSP and ASB 401(k) Plan through open market purchases of its common stock.
For the first six months of 2021, net cash provided by operating activities of HEI consolidated was $118 million. Net cash used by investing activities for the same period was $771 million, primarily due to capital expenditures, ASB’s purchases of
available-for-sale and held-to maturity investment securities, partly offset by ASB’s receipt of investment security repayments and maturities, proceeds from the sale of investment securities, net decrease in loans and sale of residential loans. Net cash provided by financing activities during this period was $553 million as a result of several factors, including net increases in ASB’s deposit liabilities and other bank borrowings, the issuances of long-term debt and net increases in short-term borrowings, partly offset by repayment of short-term and long-term debt and payment of common stock dividends. During the first six months of 2021, Hawaiian Electric and ASB (through ASB Hawaii) paid cash dividends to HEI of $56 million and $28 million, respectively.
Dividends. The payout ratios for the first six months of 2021 and full year 2020 were 58% and 73%, respectively. On February 9, 2021, the HEI Board of Directors approved a 1 cent increase in the quarterly dividend from $0.33 per share to $0.34 per share, starting with the dividend in the first quarter of 2021. HEI currently expects to maintain its dividend at its present level; however, the HEI Board of Directors evaluates the dividend quarterly and considers many factors in the evaluation including, but not limited to, the Company’s results of operations, the long-term prospects for the Company, current and expected future economic conditions, including impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, and capital investment alternatives.
MATERIAL ESTIMATES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In preparing financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
In accordance with SEC Release No. 33-8040, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies,” management has identified the accounting policies it believes to be the most critical to the Company’s financial statements—that is, management believes that these policies are both the most important to the portrayal of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition, and currently require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.
For information about these material estimates and critical accounting policies, in addition to the critical policy discussed below, see pages 42 to 44, 58 to 59, and 72 to 74 of HEI’s MD&A included in Part II, Item 7 of HEI’s 2020 Form 10-K.
Following are discussions of the results of operations, liquidity and capital resources of the electric utility and bank segments.

Recent developments—COVID-19
See also Recent developments—COVID-19 in HEI’s MD&A.
Economic conditions in Hawaii improved in the first half of 2021 as vaccination rates increased and businesses were allowed to operate with fewer restrictions. Statewide daily passenger counts have improved dramatically, reaching a year-to-date high of 35,435 passengers per day on August 1, 2021, which was nearly 94.5% of the level achieved adjusted to be on the same weekday in 2019. At the end of June, statewide unemployment was 7.7%, which improved from 10.3% at the end of 2020. With the increase in economic activity, the demand for electricity has increased from 2020 levels, however, sales remain below the kWh sales levels achieved for the same period in 2019. In the second quarter of 2021, kWh sales were up 8.1% compared with the same quarter in 2020, however, they were 4.4% below the same quarter in 2019. The Utilities expect kWh sales to continue to improve throughout 2021 as the COVID-19 vaccination target are approached, allowing remaining government restrictions to be lifted.
While the Utilities’ electric energy revenues have not been significantly impacted due to the decoupling mechanism, which allows recovery of the difference between PUC approved target revenues and recorded adjusted revenues regardless of the level of kWh sales, the timing of customer collections would be delayed (or accelerated) if the level of kWh sales decreases below (or increases above) the estimated kWh sales. See “Decoupling” in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of decoupling. Annually, the Utilities submit a decoupling filing to the PUC, which requests recovery by the utility (or refund to customers) of the difference between recorded adjusted revenues and target revenues under the RBA. The difference is collected or refunded through an adjustment to customer rates in the following year based on estimated sales, starting on June 1st of that following year, which has an impact on the timing of the Utilities’ cash flow. Additionally, although the Utilities’ decoupling mechanism allows for collection under the RBA, the RBA balance accrues interest only at the short-term debt rate from the last rate case (2.5% for Hawaiian Electric, 3.75% for Hawaii Electric Light and 3.0% for Maui Electric). As of June 30, 2021, the RBA balance was approximately $35.6 million, compared to $7.6 million as of December 31, 2020. While the billed accounts receivable balance, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, of $152 million, as of June 30, 2021, is 3.1% higher than the billed accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2020, due in part to higher fuel prices resulting in higher bills, the past due accounts receivable balance has decreased by $4 million or 7% since December 31, 2020 with a corresponding decrease in the number of accounts past due by approximately 8% for the same period. The decrease was primarily driven by an improvement in economic conditions with fewer restrictions, increased vaccination rates, and continued application of available assistance from various government and community programs, including the Hawaii Utility Bill Assistance Program, which was launched in the first quarter of 2021 and provided funding to Hawaiian Electric customers and other utility companies. While the moratorium on customer disconnections ended on May 31, 2021, efforts are ongoing to continue working with customers on payment plans and other bill assistance for customers through funding from non-profit organizations, as well as state and county relief programs. The Utilities are prepared to address the financing requirement related to the delayed timing of cash flows collected under the decoupling mechanism through the RBA and the modest slowing or reduction in accounts receivable collections from customers. See “Financial Condition—Liquidity and capital resources” for additional information.
The Utilities provide an essential service to the State of Hawaii, and have continued to operate to protect the health and safety of employees and customers and to ensure system reliability, and have been following the Governor’s directive that the Utilities take necessary measures to ensure they can operate in the normal course. The Utilities have also implemented certain aspects of their business continuity plans, which includes the activation of its Incident Management Team to closely manage the response to the pandemic and have implemented practices related to employee and facilities hygiene in order to ensure the reliability and resilience of their operations.
In the second quarter of 2020, the PUC approved the deferral of certain COVID-19 related costs, such as higher bad debt expense, higher financing costs, non-collection of late payment fees, increased personal protective equipment costs, and sequestration costs for mission-critical employees. As of June 30, 2021, these costs, which have been deferred and recorded as a regulatory asset, totaled approximately $25.6 million (see also discussion under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and “Regulatory assets for COVID-19 related costs” in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The Utilities have approval to defer COVID-19 related costs through June 30, 2021, and a decision on the Utilities’ request to extend the deferral period through December 31, 2021 is pending. The Utilities will be seeking recovery of the deferred costs in a separate proceeding. Looking forward, while the distribution and administration of the COVID vaccine has allowed for reduced restrictions and a partial reopening of the Hawaii economy, a worsening of COVID-19 case counts or a prolonged period of current COVID-19 restrictions could adversely affect the ability of the Utilities’ contractors, suppliers, IPPs, and other business partners to perform or fulfill their obligations, or require modifications to existing contracts, which could adversely affect the Utilities’ business, increase expenses, and impact the Utilities’ ability to achieve their RPS goals. Additionally, while the state’s aggressive response to the pandemic has dramatically reduced the spread of the coronavirus,
the measures taken have had a severe economic impact on the state’s businesses and residents, which may influence the PUC’s actions regarding future rate increases. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part II for additional discussion of risks.
For a discussion regarding the impact of the economic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on the Utilities’ liquidity and capital resources, see discussion under “Financial Condition–Liquidity and capital resources.”

3 kWh sales in 2021 were higher when compared to the same periods last year largely due to recovery from the initial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. An increase in visitor arrivals due to changes in the Safe Travels requirements allowed travelers to bypass the 10-day quarantine by taking a COVID test or showing proof of vaccination for domestic travelers, led to a recovery in the tourism industry. This combined with easing of restrictions on business activities and increased vaccinations, led to improving unemployment and broader reopening. As restrictions ease, vaccination rates reach State of Hawaii targets and more visitors arrive, sales are expected to slowly rebound but remain lower than pre-pandemic levels.
The Utilities’ effective tax rate for each of the second quarters of 2021 and 2020 was 21% and 19%, respectively. The Utilities’ effective tax rates for the first six months of 2021 and 2020 were at 21% and 19%, respectively. The effective tax rate was higher for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 due primarily to an increase in
income before taxes in 2021, lower amortization in 2021 of the Utilities’ regulatory liability related to certain excess deferred income taxes resulting from the Tax Act’s decrease in the federal income tax rate and a decrease in excess tax benefits related to vesting of share-based awards in 2021. The effective tax rate was higher for the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 due primarily to lower amortization in 2021 of the Utilities’ regulatory liability related to certain excess deferred income taxes resulting from the Tax Act’s decrease in the federal income tax rate.
Hawaiian Electric’s consolidated ROACE was 8.9% and 7.9% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively.
The net book value (cost less accumulated depreciation) of utility property, plant and equipment (PPE) as of June 30, 2021 amounted to $4.8 billion, of which approximately 26% related to generation PPE, 65% related to transmission and distribution PPE, and 9% related to other PPE. Approximately 9% of the total net book value relates to generation PPE that has been deactivated or that the Utilities plan to deactivate or decommission.
See “Economic conditions” in the “HEI Consolidated” section above.
Executive overview and strategy. The Utilities provide electricity on all the principal islands in the state, other than Kauai, to approximately 95% of the state’s population and operate five separate grids. The Utilities’ mission is to provide innovative energy leadership for Hawaii, to meet the needs and expectations of customers and communities, and to empower them with affordable, reliable and clean energy. The goal is to create a modern, resilient, flexible and dynamic electric grid that enables an optimal mix of distributed energy resources, such as private rooftop solar, demand response and grid-scale resources to enable the creation of smart, sustainable, resilient communities and achieve the statutory goal of 100% renewable energy by 2045.
Performance-based regulations. On December 23, 2020, the PUC issued a D&O (PBR D&O) approving a new performance-based regulation framework (PBR Framework). See “Regulatory proceedings” under “Commitments and contingencies” in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Transition to a decarbonized and sustainable energy future. The Utilities are fully committed to leading and enabling pathways to a decarbonized and sustainable energy future for Hawaii. The Utilities believe that a holistic approach to decarbonization is needed, and that such a strategy requires achieving the Utilities’ renewable energy commitments, facilitating and promoting beneficial electrification, and deploying carbon removal and offsets among other levers to reduce statewide emissions. Hawaii’s renewable portfolio standard law requires electric utilities to meet an RPS of 30%, 40%, 70% and 100% by December 31, 2020, 2030, 2040 and 2045, respectively. Hawaii law has also established a target of sequestering more atmospheric carbon and greenhouse gases than emitted within the State by 2045.
The Utilities have made significant progress on the path to clean energy and have been successful in adding significant amounts of renewable energy resources to their electric systems and exceeded the 2015 RPS goal two years early. The Utilities’ RPS for 2020 was 34.5%, which exceeded the statutory goal of 30%. The Utilities will continue to actively procure additional renewable energy post-2020 and expect to meet or exceed the next statutory RPS goal of 40% in advance of the 2030 compliance year. (See “Developments in renewable energy efforts” below).
If the Utilities are not successful in meeting the RPS targets as mandated by law, the PUC could assess a penalty of $20 for every MWh that an electric utility is deficient. Based on the level of electricity sales in 2020, a 1% shortfall in meeting the 2030 RPS requirement of 40% would translate into a penalty of approximately $1.6 million. The PUC has the discretion to reduce the penalty due to events or circumstances that are outside an electric utility’s reasonable control, to the extent the event or circumstance could not be reasonably foreseen and ameliorated. In addition to penalties under the RPS law, failure to meet the mandated RPS targets would be expected to result in a higher proportion of fossil fuel-based generation than if the RPS target had been achieved, which in turn would be expected to subject the Utilities to limited commodity fossil fuel price exposure under a fuel cost risk-sharing mechanism. The fuel cost risk-sharing mechanism apportions 2% of the fuel cost risk to the utilities (and 98% to ratepayers) and has a maximum exposure (or benefit) of $3.7 million.
The Utilities are fully aligned with, and supportive of, state policy to achieve a decarbonized future and have made significant progress in reducing emissions through renewable energy and electrification. This alignment with state policy is reflected in management compensation programs and the Utilities’ long-range plans, which include aspirational targets in order to catalyze action and accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels throughout its operations at a pace more rapid than dictated by current law. The long-range plans, including aspirational targets, serve as guiding principles in the Utilities’ continued transformation, and are updated regularly to adapt to changing technology, costs, and other factors. While there is no financial penalty for failure to achieve the Utilities’ long-range aspirational objectives, the Utilities recognize that there are environmental and social costs from the continued use of fossil fuels.
The State of Hawaii’s policy is supported by the regulatory framework and includes a number of mechanisms designed to maintain the Utilities’ financial stability during the transition toward the State’s decarbonized future. Under the sales decoupling mechanism, the Utilities are allowed to recover from customers, target test year revenues, independent of the level of kWh sales, which have generally declined (with the exception of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020), as privately-owned distributed energy resources have been added to the grid and energy efficiency measures have been put into place. Other regulatory mechanisms reduce regulatory lag, such as the rate adjustment mechanism to provide revenues for escalation in certain O&M expenses and rate base changes between rate cases, and the major project interim recovery mechanism, which allow the Utilities to recover and earn on certain approved major capital projects placed into service in between rate cases. Certain mechanisms were replaced or modified under the new PBR framework. See “Regulatory proceedings” under “Commitments and contingencies” and “Decoupling” in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Integrated Grid Planning. Achieving high levels of renewable energy will require modernizing the grid through coordinated energy system planning in partnership with local communities and stakeholders. To accomplish this, the Utilities filed their Integrated Grid Planning (IGP) Report with the PUC on March 1, 2018, which provides an innovative systems approach to energy planning intended to yield the most cost-effective renewable energy pathways that incorporates customer and stakeholder input.
In March 2019, the PUC accepted the Utilities’ IGP Work plan submitted on December 14, 2018, which describes the timing and scope of major activities that will occur in the IGP process. The IGP utilizes an inclusive and transparent Stakeholder Engagement model to provide an avenue for interested parties to engage with the Utilities and contribute meaningful input throughout the IGP process. The IGP Stakeholder Council, Technical Advisory Panel and Working groups have been established and meet regularly to provide feedback and input on specific issues and process steps in the IGP. In March 2020, the Utilities launched a broad public engagement program, which consisted of a combination of in-person and online engagement. This provided customers opportunities to connect with the IGP team. The Utilities submitted an updated IGP work plan to the PUC in January 2021, marking the significant progress made through the stakeholder engagement phase of the IGP process. The Utilities will use the stakeholder feedback and input as it enters the next phase of the process which includes the development of long-range integrated grid plans and the acquisition of new resources.
Demand response programs. Pursuant to PUC orders, the Utilities are developing an integrated Demand Response (DR) Portfolio Plan that will enhance system operations and reduce costs to customers. The reduction in cost for the customer will take the form of either rates or incentive-based programs that will compensate customers for their participation individually, or by way of engagements with turnkey service providers that contract with the Utilities to aggregate and deliver various grid services on behalf of participating customers and their distributed assets.
On June 9, 2021, the PUC issued an order providing guidance to the third Grid Service RFP filed on February 23, 2021. The proposed Grid Service RFP focused only on Oahu and is seeking 60MW of grid services with focus on capacity reduction similarly in response to the potential reserve shortfall from the AES coal plant retirement scheduled on September 1, 2022. The Utilities filed a final draft on June 25, 2021, and are awaiting PUC approval to proceed with the RFP.
On June 8, 2021, the PUC approved the new program, Emergency Demand Response Program (EDRP), a battery storage incentive program to dispatch electricity between 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. daily from participating residential and commercial customers, to address the potential reserve shortfalls following the AES coal plant retirement. The PUC approved EDRP for 50MW on Oahu with an incentive budget not to exceed $34 million, which will be recovered via a surcharge cost recovery mechanism over a 10-year amortization. The Utilities’ implementation plan was approved by the PUC on June 30, 2021, and the Utilities subsequently filed the updated EDRP tariffs on July 1, 2021.
Grid modernization. The overall goal of the Grid Modernization Strategy is to deploy modern grid investments at an appropriate priority, sequence and pace to cost-effectively maximize flexibility, minimize the risk of redundancy and obsolescence, deliver customer benefits and enable greater distributed energy resources and renewable energy integration. Under the Grid Modernization Strategy, the Utilities expect that new technology will help increase adoption of private rooftop solar and make use of rapidly evolving products, including storage and advanced inverters. The Utilities are implementing Phase 1 of their Grid Modernization Strategy, which received PUC approval on March 25, 2019. The estimated cost for this initial phase is approximately $86 million and is expected to be incurred over five years. As of June 30, 2021, approximately $24 million has been incurred to date under Phase 1. The Utilities are now deploying advanced meters faster and more broadly under the proportional advanced meter deployment plan, which was approved by the PUC on March 3, 2021.
The Utilities filed an application with the PUC on September 30, 2019 for an Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) as part of the second phase of their Grid Modernization Strategy implementation. However, on December 30, 2019, the PUC suspended the Utilities’ application for the Advanced Distribution Management System pending the Utilities’ filing of a supplemental application for the broad deployment of field devices. This supplement and update to the
Grid Mod Phase 2 field devices application was filed on March 31, 2021. The estimated cost for the implementation over five years of the ADMS and field devices, which includes capital, deferred and O&M costs, is $105 million. A PUC order was issued on April 27, 2021, unsuspending and resuming consideration of the Phase 2 Application.
Community-based renewable energy. In December 2017, the PUC adopted a community-based renewable energy (CBRE) program framework which allows customers who cannot, or chose not to, take advantage of private rooftop solar to receive the benefits of renewable energy to help offset their monthly electric bills and support clean energy for Hawaii. The program has two phases.
The first phase, which commenced in July 2018, totals 8 MW of solar photovoltaic (PV) only with one credit rate for each island, closed on April 9, 2020.
The second phase, which commenced on April 9, 2020, allows up to 235 MW across all Hawaiian Electric service territories in two tranches for small (under 250 kW) and large system sizes to encourage a variety of system sizes. To provide opportunities for low- to moderate-income (LMI) customers to participate in the program, separate project proposals may be submitted specifically targeting LMI customers.
Eight RFPs were required by order: one each for Oahu, Maui, Hawaii Island, Molokai, and Lanai, and LMI-specific RFPs for Oahu, Maui, and Hawaii Island. Draft RFPs for the three LMI RFPs and the RFPs for Molokai, and Lanai were filed on July 9, 2020, along with a revised tariff and associated contract models. LMI projects do not have a size cap nor do they decrease the 235 MW capacity available to other projects. Proposed final drafts of the LMI RFPs, Molokai and Lanai RFPs tariff, and contracts were filed on September 8, 2020.
For Lanai, the Utilities proposed to combine the previously issued Variable Renewable Dispatchable Generation Paired with Energy Storage RFP and the CBRE RFP to optimize the benefits of procuring renewable energy, spurring development and increasing the likelihood of success of the CBRE Program on Lanai. See “Developments in renewable energy efforts–Requests for renewable proposals, expressions of interest, and information” for additional information.
Proposed final drafts of the remaining RFPs on Oahu, Maui, and Hawaii Island were filed on December 1, 2020.
For small CBRE projects less than 250 kW in size, the Utilities are planning to accept projects over a four-month period on a first-come, first served basis as soon as the PUC approves the Utilities’ final tariff and contracts, filed on September 8, 2020. The PUC reserved 30 MW as well as a small amount of unallocated capacity from Phase 1 for small projects in Phase 2 on Oahu, Maui and Hawaii Island. If applications exceed the program capacity for that island, then a reverse auction process called Competitive Credit Rate Procurement will be triggered to allocate project capacity and determine the credit rate. The Utilities have developed a CBRE Portal where customers can subscribe to a project once the Subscriber Organization has added their project to the portal.
The Utilities have been working on interconnection improvements and proposed several ways to potentially improve the time and cost of interconnection during the development of the CBRE Phase 2 tariff and RFPs. Additionally, the Utilities increased their focus and attention on this area and worked with the parties, including the CBRE Independent Observer, to make the interconnection process more transparent, predictable and standardized, including interconnection costs, timelines and requirements in order to reduce costs and accelerate schedules. In addition, the Utilities researched interconnection solutions in other jurisdictions, and worked with the parties to identify additional improvements. The Utilities solicited from the parties a list of recommended improvements, and consolidated and adopted nearly all the near-term and continuous improvement recommendations from the parties. The Utilities filed these recommendations and associated updates to the previously filed RFPs, tariff, and contracts on March 30, 2021. These documents are pending review and approval by the PUC.
Microgrid services tariff proceeding. In July 2018, the PUC opened a proceeding to investigate establishment of a microgrid services tariff, pursuant to Act 200 of 2018. There are currently five intervenors in the docket, although initially there were eight. In August 2019, the PUC issued an order, focusing for the remainder of the docket, to facilitate the ability of microgrids to disconnect from the grid and provide backup power to customers and critical energy uses during contingency events.
Two Working Groups were formed: (1) a Market Facilitation Working Group to recommend draft tariff language for the Microgrid Services Tariff; and (2) an Interconnection Standards Working Group to develop a new section of Rule 14H specific to interconnection and islanding/reconnection of microgrids. The Utilities filed a Draft Microgrid Services Tariff and updated language for various distributed energy resources Rules on March 30, 2020. Parties to the docket filed comments on and proposed revisions to the Draft Tariff on April 27, 2020.
On November 30, 2020, the PUC held a technical conference to present its proposed redlines to Utilities’ Draft Microgrid Services Tariff and related documents. On February 1, 2021, the Working Group filed its Draft Microgrid Tariff. Members of the Working Group separately filed their positions on areas of disagreements and later commented on other parties’ positions on areas of disagreements on February 10, 2021 and February 17, 2021, respectively.
On May 17, 2021, the PUC issued an order, directing the Utilities to submit the Microgrid Services Tariff and appendices consistent with the revisions provided by the PUC. Furthermore, the PUC stated it intends to issue a separate order to govern the next phase of the Microgrid Tariff proceeding. On May 27, 2021, the Utilities filed the Microgrid Service Tariff.
Decoupling. See "Decoupling" in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of decoupling.
As part of decoupling, the Utilities also track their rate-making ROACEs as calculated under the earnings sharing mechanism, which includes only items considered in establishing rates. At year-end, each utility’s rate-making ROACE is compared against its ROACE allowed by the PUC to determine whether earnings sharing has been triggered. The D&O in the PBR proceeding modified the earnings sharing mechanism to a symmetric arrangement. Effective with annual earnings for 2021, the earnings sharing will be triggered for actual ROACE outside of a 300 basis points dead band above and below a target ROE of 9.5%, which is the current authorized ROE for each of the Utilities. Earnings sharing credits or recoveries will be included in the annual decoupling filing for the following year. Results for 2020, 2019 and 2018 did not trigger the earnings sharing mechanism for the Utilities.

* Based on recorded operating income and average rate base, both adjusted for items not included in determining electric rates.
** Recorded net income divided by average common equity.
*** ROACE adjusted to remove items not included by the PUC in establishing rates, such as incentive compensation.
The factors contributing to the difference between PUC-allowed ROACEs and the ROACEs actually achieved include the exclusion of certain expenses from rates (for example, incentive compensation and charitable contributions), the recognition of annual RAM revenues on June 1 annually rather than on January 1, and return on capital additions since the last rate case in excess of indexed escalations. For Hawaiian Electric, the twelve months ended June 30, 2021 rate-making ROACE reflects higher earnings due to timing differences, that are expected to reverse during the second half of 2021, including lower overhaul expenses in the twelve months ended June 30, 2021, and a change in the timing of recognition of target revenues for the first and second quarter of 2021 relative to 2020, with the revenues recognized on an annual basis remaining unchanged.

Note: The “Request” date reflects the application filing date for the rate proceeding. The date of “Interim Decision and Order” or “Final Decision and Order” reflects the issuance date of the PUC order.
1 A final D&O issued on October 22, 2020 ordered final rates for the 2020 test year to remain at current effective rates, which provides for no increase to base rates. Hawaiian Electric’s proposed RBA provision tariff and ECRC tariff submitted on November 6, 2020 were approved by the PUC on December 11, 2020. The proposed RBA provision tariff and ECRC tariff took effect on January 1, 2021.
2 A final D&O issued on July 28, 2020 ordered final rates for the 2019 test year to remain at current effective rates, such that there is a zero increase in rates. The proposed final tariffs and PIM tariffs took effect on November 1, 2020, and the ECRC tariff became effective on January 1, 2021.
See also “Most recent rate proceedings” in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
On December 23, 2020, the PBR D&O was issued, establishing a new PBR Framework. The PBR Framework implemented a five-year multi-year rate period (MRP), during which there will be no general rate case applications. In the fourth year of the MRP, the PUC will comprehensively review the PBR Framework to determine if any modifications or revisions are appropriate.
Developments in renewable energy efforts. Developments in the Utilities’ efforts to further their renewable energy strategy include renewable energy projects discussed in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the following:
New renewable PPAs.
•In December 2014, the PUC approved a PPA for Renewable As-Available Energy dated October 3, 2013 between Hawaiian Electric and Na Pua Makani Power Partners, LLC (NPM) for a proposed 24-MW wind farm on Oahu. In August 2020, the project was energized and commissioning of all wind turbines was completed. However, the project was paused due to a conductor deficiency. Hawaiian Electric reconductored the 46kV circuit and in December 2020, the project reached commercial operation.
NPM received its Incidental Take Permit from the Department of Fish and Wildlife Service on September 7, 2018. Keep the North Shore Country (KNSC) has appealed this decision and the case has been transferred to the Hawaii Supreme Court. On June 17, 2020, KNSC filed a Motion for Stay Upon Appeal. On August 10, 2020, KNSC’s Motion for Stay Upon Appeal was denied. KNSC and Kahuku Community Association (KCA) have also petitioned to appeal NPM’s Conditional Use Permits. On August 6, 2020, the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) granted NPM’s Motions to Dismiss the Appeal Petitions of KNSC and KCA.
Life of the Land (LOL) filed a Motion for Relief to argue the PUC’s approval for NPM PPA was invalid and should be revised. Hawaiian Electric and the Consumer Advocate filed an opposition to this motion for relief. A hearing on the motion for relief was held on November 22, 2019. On April 16, 2020, the PUC issued an order denying LOL’s Motion for Relief. On April 27, 2020, LOL filed a Notice of Appeal of the PUC’s order with the Supreme Court of the State of Hawaii. In June 2021, the Supreme Court denied LOL’s appeal.
On December 31, 2019, Hawaii Electric Light and PGV entered into an Amended and Restated Power Purchase Agreement (ARPPA), subject to approval by the PUC. The ARPPA extends the term of the existing PPA by 25 years to 2052, expands the firm capacity of the facility to 46 MW and delinks the pricing for energy delivered from the facility from fossil fuel prices to reduce cost to customers. The PUC suspended the docket pending the completion of a supplemental environmental review under the Hawaii Environmental Policy Act (HEPA). On April 12, 2021, Hawaii Electric Light filed a motion for reconsideration and clarification in the proceeding. On June 4,
2021, the PUC lifted the docket suspension for the limited purpose of soliciting the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) and the County of Hawaii’s (County) position on the environment review. In June and July 2021, the DLNR and the County responded to the PUC indicating their respective agencies do not have discretionary approval over the project and are not in a position to conduct an environmental review under HEPA.
Tariffed renewable resources.
•As of June 30, 2021, there were approximately 532 MW, 114 MW and 129 MW of installed distributed renewable energy technologies (mainly PV) at Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively, for tariff-based private customer generation programs, namely Standard Interconnection Agreement, Net Energy Metering, Net Energy Metering Plus, Customer Grid Supply, Customer Self Supply, Customer Grid Supply Plus and Interim Smart Export. As of June 30, 2021, an estimated 31% of single family homes on the islands of Oahu, Hawaii and Maui have installed private rooftop solar systems, and approximately 19% of the Utilities’ total customers have solar systems.
•The Utilities began accepting energy from feed-in tariff projects in 2011. As of June 30, 2021, there were 43 MW, 2 MW and 5 MW of installed feed-in tariff capacity from renewable energy technologies at Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively.
Biofuel sources.
•In July 2018, the PUC approved Hawaiian Electric’s three-year biodiesel supply contract with Pacific Biodiesel Technologies, LLC (PBT) to supply 2 million to 4 million gallons of biodiesel at Hawaiian Electric’s Schofield Generating Station and the Honolulu International Airport Emergency Power Facility (HIA Facility) and any other generating unit on Oahu, as necessary. The PBT contract became effective on November 1, 2018 and has been extended for one year through December 2022. Hawaiian Electric also has a spot buy contract with PBT to purchase additional quantities of biodiesel at or below the price of diesel. Some purchases of “at parity” biodiesel have been made under the spot purchase contract, which was extended through June 2022. On June 30, 2021, the Utilities issued an RFP for all fuels, including biodiesel, for supply commencing January 1, 2023.
•Hawaiian Electric has a contingency supply contract with REG Marketing & Logistics Group, LLC to also supply biodiesel to any generating unit on Oahu in the event PBT is not able to supply necessary quantities. This contingency contract has been extended to November 2022, and will continue with no volume purchase requirements.
Requests for renewable proposals, expressions of interest, and information.
•Under a request for proposal process governed by the PUC and monitored by independent observers, in February 2018, the Utilities issued RFPs for 220 MW of renewable generation on Oahu, 50 MW of renewable generation on Hawaii Island, and 60 MW of renewable generation on Maui. As of June 30, 2021, summarized information for a total of 8 PPAs is as follows:

The Utilities have received PUC approvals to recover the total projected annual payment of $62.6 million for the eight PPAs through the PPAC to the extent such costs are not included in base rates.
•In continuation of their February 2018 request for proposal process, the Utilities issued their Stage 2 Renewable RFPs for Oahu, Maui and Hawaii Island and Grid Services RFP on August 22, 2019. Final awards for the renewable projects were made on May 8, 2020. Final awards for the grid services projects were made starting in January 2020. On Oahu, seven solar-plus-storage projects and one standalone storage project totaling approximately 281 MW of generation and 1.8 GWh of storage were selected. On Maui, three solar-plus-storage projects and one standalone storage project totaling approximately 100 MW of generation and 560 MWh of storage were selected. On Hawaii Island, two solar-plus-storage projects and one standalone storage project totaling approximately 72 MW of generation and 492 MWh of storage were selected. Two Utility Self-Build projects were among those selected; a 40-MW, 160-MWh standalone energy storage system on Maui and a 12-MW, 12-MWh storage system on Hawaii Island. Since selection, three renewable plus storage projects have voluntarily withdrawn from the process for
various reasons, including change in circumstances for the developer and a misunderstanding of contract requirements. To date, the Utilities have filed 10 PPAs, 2 grid services purchase agreements (GSPA) and 2 applications for commitments of funds for capital expenditures for approval of the utility self-build projects with the PUC.
A summary of the 10 PPAs that were filed with the PUC, is as follows:

•On November 27, 2019, the Utilities issued RFPs for renewable generation paired with energy storage on the islands of Lanai and Molokai. The Utilities were seeking PV paired with storage or small wind (specified as 100 kW turbines or smaller) on Molokai and PV paired with storage on Lanai. Proposals for the Molokai RFP were received on February 14, 2020. In light of a PUC order issued on April 9, 2020 in the CBRE docket, the Utilities proposed in their July 9, 2020 filing to combine the previously issued Lanai RFP with the CBRE RFP described in the order to optimize the benefits of procuring renewable energy, spurring development and increasing the likelihood of success of the CBRE program on Lanai. On May 21, 2021, the PUC approved the proposed combined Lanai RFP. On June 17, 2021, the PUC issued an order suspending the June 21, 2021 deadline for the Utilities to file the Lanai RFP in response to the Utilities comments filed on June 2, 2021 requesting clarity around the CBRE tariff. The PUC’s order noted further guidance would be forth coming. On October 15, 2020, the Utilities selected one project from the Molokai RFP for a total of 4.5 MW of solar and 24 MWh of storage. The developer, however, declined to accept the award. On March 29, 2021, the Utilities filed a proposed plan for Molokai in response to PUC’s direction to revise and re-submit the Molokai RFP. On June 29, 2021, the PUC held a status conference to discuss the Utilities’ plan and concerns from stakeholders.
Review of Interconnection Process and Kapolei Energy Storage Power Purchase Agreement.
•In February 2021, the PUC initiated a docket for the purposes of reviewing the status and interconnection progress of various utility-related renewable projects (i.e. Stage 1 and Stage 2 RFP PPAs and CBRE) and the Utilities’ transition plans for the expiration of the AES power purchase agreement, the retirement of the Kahului Power Plant, and other fossil fuel power plant transition plans, as needed. The Utilities filed initial status updates on the project timelines, steps needed for each of the renewable projects to achieve commercial operation and steps the Utilities are
taking to address projected extensions of guaranteed commercial operation dates (GCOD) for renewable projects under development, which are due to a variety of factors, including those outside of the control of the Utilities. The PUC subsequently held status conferences on the Utilities’ updates. In April 2021, the PUC issued an Order directing the Utilities to establish regulatory liabilities for the difference between the on-peak avoided cost and the unit price included in the applications for approval of the renewable project PPAs, effective with the GCOD included in the applications (the earliest GCOD included in the applications is July 2021) or from the date of the Order for CBRE Phase 1 projects. The amount of regulatory liabilities to be recorded in future periods are not determinable at this time and would be affected by a number of factors, including the length of the GCOD extension period, the monthly on-peak avoided cost, as well as the factors described above. The Utilities filed a Motion for Reconsideration of the entire Order, or in the alternative to clarify that at most the PUC is directing the Utilities to track the information and not record the information at this time. The Utilities further requested a Stay of the Order pending resolution of the Motion. The Utilities maintain that extensions of GCODs are allowed under the PUC-approved contracts and that the Order has the unintended consequence of imposing penalties against the Utilities without due process. In May 2021, the PUC issued an order clarifying its Order and directed the Utilities to track costs to consumers caused by the perceived delay of renewable projects, and that the PUC does not intend to, at this time, impose any penalties on the Utilities. The full text of the Order, Motion for Reconsideration and request for a Stay of the Order, and clarification Order can be found on the PUC website at dms.puc.hawaii.gov/dms (Docket No. 2021-0024).
•Also in April 2021, the PUC approved the Kapolei Energy Storage (KES) PPA (one of the PPAs as a result of the Stage 2 Renewable RFP process) (KES Decision and Order), subject to nine conditions, including the Utilities forgoing the second portion of the PIM rewards amounting up to $1.7 million for the Stage 1 RFP PPAs, removing grid constraints for the Utilities’ CBRE Phase 2 projects and for existing and new distributed energy programs, financial retirement of Hawaiian Electric generating units by specified dates and adjusting target revenues at the retirement dates for such retirements, and a requirement to charge the batteries in the project using significant levels of renewable energy generation. The financial retirement of the generating units described in the KES Decision and Order is contrary to the intent of Hawaii Revised Statutes §269-6(d), which encourages the recovery of stranded costs for the retirement of fossil fuel generation, and contrary to the regulatory compact under which in return for agreeing to commit capital necessary to allow utilities to meet their obligation to serve, utilities are assured recovery of their investment and a fair opportunity to earn a reasonable return on the capital prudently committed to the business. Hawaiian Electric filed a Motion for Reconsideration and Stay of the Decision and Order due to potentially significant financial and operational impacts. In May 2021, the PUC granted, in part, Hawaiian Electric’s Motion for Reconsideration and Stay. In this Order, the PUC addressed a number of Hawaiian Electric’s concerns, including removing the condition of the Utilities foregoing the PIM award from Stage 1 RFP projects, agreeing to address grid constraint concerns in respective DER and CBRE dockets and not in the KES docket, removing the minimum thresholds of charging energy coming from renewable energy generation and corresponding deadlines associated with these thresholds and modifying the condition on financial retirement of generating units. The PUC indicated the net book value of generating assets would be addressed at the time of retirement. The full text of the KES Decision and Order and the Motion for Reconsideration and Stay with respect thereto, and the Order granting, in part, Hawaiian Electric’s Motion for Reconsideration can be found on the PUC website at dms.puc.hawaii.gov/dms (Docket No. 2020-0136).
Legislation and regulation. Congress and the Hawaii legislature periodically consider legislation that could have positive or negative effects on the Utilities and their customers. Also see “Environmental regulation” in Note 3 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Fuel contracts. The fuel contract entered into in January 2019, by the Utilities and PAR Hawaii Refining, LLC (PAR Hawaii), for the Utilities’ low sulfur fuel oil (LSFO), high sulfur fuel oil (HSFO), No. 2 diesel, and ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) requirements was approved by the PUC, and became effective on April 28, 2019 and terminates on December 31, 2022. This contract is a requirement contract with no minimum purchases. If PAR Hawaii is unable to provide LSFO, HSFO, diesel and/or ULSD the contract allows the Utilities to purchase LSFO, HSFO, diesel and/or ULSD from another supplier. On June 30, 2021, the Utilities issued two RFPs for all fuels for supply commencing January 1, 2023. The costs incurred under the contract with PAR Hawaii are recovered in the Utilities’ respective ECRCs.
On June 9, 2020, the Utilities and PAR Hawaii entered into a First Amendment to the fuel contract. The First Amendment amends only the LSFO pricing to create a two-tiered structure based on volume, with all tier-1 LSFO up to the tier-1 maximum to be purchased exclusively from PAR Hawaii at the established pricing, and purchases in excess of that volume (tier-2) either from PAR Hawaii at the established pricing, or from an alternative supplier. On August 4, 2020, the PUC approved the First Amendment, which has an effective date of July 15, 2020, on an interim basis. The PUC’s approval order allows the recovery of such costs associated with the First Amendment through the ECRC to the extent that the costs
are not recovered in base rates. The PUC intends to review whether the First Amendment is reasonable and in the public interest in the final decision, but it will not subject the recovery of the costs between the interim decision and the final decision to retroactive disallowances.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and capital resources. As of June 30, 2021, there was no outstanding balance on Hawaiian Electric’s revolving credit facility and $38 million of commercial paper borrowings outstanding by the Utilities.
On January 14, 2021, the Utilities received $115 million of proceeds using a delayed draw feature under a private placement executed on October 29, 2020. The proceeds were used to finance capital expenditures and reimburse funds used for the payment of capital expenditures.
The Utilities believe that their ability to generate cash, both internally from operations and externally from issuances of equity and debt securities, as well as bank borrowings, is adequate to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund their contractual obligations and commercial commitments, their forecasted capital expenditures and investments, their expected retirement benefit plan contributions and other cash requirements. However, the COVID-19 pandemic is an evolving situation, and the Utilities cannot predict the extent or duration of the outbreak, the future effects that it will have on the global, national or local economy, including the impacts on the Utilities’ ability, as well as the cost, to access additional capital, or the future impacts on the Utilities’ financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

1 The maximum amount of external short-term borrowings by Hawaiian Electric during the first six months of 2021 was approximately $50 million. As of June 30, 2021, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric had short-term borrowings from Hawaiian Electric of $3.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively. In addition to the short-term borrowings above, on January 15, 2021, Hawaiian Electric paid off and terminated the $50 million term loan facility dated as of May 19, 2020.
Credit agreement. Hawaiian Electric has a $200 million line of credit facility with no amount outstanding at June 30, 2021. On June 25, 2021, Hawaiian Electric requested PUC approval of its third amended and restated revolving unsecured syndicated credit facility agreement, including approving extending its term to May 14, 2026 from May 13, 2022. See Note 5 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Credit ratings. On March 17, 2021, S&P upgraded Hawaiian Electric’s issuer credit rating to “BBB” from “BBB-”, upgraded the short-term and commercial paper ratings to “A-2” from “A-3” and revised the outlook to stable from positive. The rating upgrade was primarily based on Hawaiian Electric’s strong financial measures, strength of the cumulative value of the regulatory protections, and S&P’s assessment of its stand-alone credit profile as sufficient to rate Hawaiian Electric higher than HEI.
On April 20, 2021, Moody’s upgraded Hawaiian Electric’s senior unsecured rating and issuer rating to “Baa1” from “Baa2” and revised the outlook to stable from positive. The rating upgrade reflects Hawaiian Electric's considerable progress in adding renewable resources to its energy supply mix and the improving regulatory relationship with the PUC. On June 25,
2021, Fitch affirmed Hawaiian Electric’s “BBB+” long-term issuer default rating, “F2” short-term issuer default rating and stable outlook.
SPRBs. Special purpose revenue bonds (SPRBs) have been issued by the Department of Budget and Finance of the State of Hawaii (DBF) to finance (and refinance) capital improvement projects of Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries, but the sources of their repayment are the non-collateralized obligations of Hawaiian Electric and its subsidiaries under loan agreements and notes issued to the DBF, including Hawaiian Electric’s guarantees of its subsidiaries’ obligations.
On May 24, 2019, the PUC approved the Utilities’ request to issue SPRBs in the amounts of up to $70 million, $2.5 million and $7.5 million for Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively, prior to June 30, 2020, to finance the Utilities’ capital improvement programs. Pursuant to this approval, on October 10, 2019, the DBF issued, at par, Series 2019 SPRBs in the aggregate principal amount of $80 million with a maturity of October 1, 2049. As of June 30, 2021, Hawaiian Electric had $9 million of undrawn funds remaining with the trustee. Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric had no undrawn funds as of June 30, 2021.
On June 10, 2019, the Hawaii legislature authorized the issuance of up to $700 million of SPRBs ($400 million for Hawaiian Electric, $150 million for Hawaii Electric Light and $150 million for Maui Electric), with PUC approval, prior to June 30, 2024, to finance the Utilities’ multi-project capital improvement programs (2019 Legislative Authorization).
On February 9, 2021, the PUC approved the Utilities’ request to issue SPRBs (up to $100 million, $35 million and $45 million for Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively) through 2022, with the proceeds to be used to finance the Utilities’ multi-project capital improvement programs. The PUC also approved the use of the expedited approval procedure to request the issuance and sale of the remaining/unused amount of SPRBs authorized by the 2019 Legislative Authorization (i.e., total not to exceed up to $400 million for Hawaiian Electric, up to $150 million for Hawaii Electric Light, and up to $150 million for Maui Electric) during the period January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.
Taxable debt. On January 31, 2019, the Utilities received PUC approval (January 2019 Approval) to issue the remaining authorized amounts under the PUC approval received in April 2018 (April 2018 Approval) in 2019 through 2020 (Hawaiian Electric up to $205 million and Hawaii Electric Light up to $15 million of taxable debt), as well as a supplemental increase to authorize the issuance of additional taxable debt to finance capital expenditures, repay long-term and/or short term debt used to finance or refinance capital expenditures, and/or to reimburse funds used for payment of capital expenditures, and to refinance the Utilities’ 2004 junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (QUIDS) prior to maturity. In addition, the January 2019 Approval authorized the Utilities to extend the period to issue additional taxable debt from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022. The new total “up to” amounts of taxable debt requested to be issued through December 31, 2022 are $410 million, $150 million and $130 million for Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light and Maui Electric, respectively.
As of June 30, 2021, Hawaiian Electric, Hawaii Electric Light, and Maui Electric have $135 million, $85 million, and $45 million, respectively, of remaining taxable debt to issue prior to December 31, 2022. See summary table below.

Net cash provided by operating activities. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by an increase in fuel oil stock due to less consumption.
Net cash used in investing activities. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by a decrease in capital expenditures related to construction activities.
Net cash provided by financing activities. The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily driven by lower net cash from long-term and short-term debts, offset by higher proceeds from short-term borrowings.
Forecast capital expenditures. For the three-year period 2021 through 2023, the Utilities forecast up to $1.2 billion of net capital expenditures, which could change over time based upon external factors such as the timing and scope of environmental regulations and/or unforeseen delays in permitting and timing of PUC decisions. Proceeds from the issuance of equity and long-term debt, cash flows from operating activities, temporary increases in short-term borrowings and existing cash and cash equivalents are expected to provide the funds needed for the net capital expenditures, to pay down commercial paper or other short-term borrowings, as well as to fund any unanticipated expenditures not included in the 2021 to 2023 forecast (such as increases in the costs or acceleration of capital projects, or unanticipated capital expenditures that may be required by new environmental laws and regulations).
Management periodically reviews capital expenditure estimates and the timing of construction projects. These estimates may change significantly as a result of many considerations, including changes in economic conditions, changes in forecasts of kWh sales and peak load, the availability of purchased power and changes in expectations concerning the construction and ownership of future generation units, the availability of generating sites and transmission and distribution corridors, the need for fuel infrastructure investments, the ability to obtain adequate and timely rate increases, escalation in construction costs, the effects of opposition to proposed construction projects and requirements of environmental and other regulatory and permitting authorities.

Recent Developments—COVID-19
See also Recent developments—COVID-19 in HEI’s MD&A.
In the first half of 2021, economic conditions in Hawaii continued to improve following the rollout of stimulus programs and the loosening of business restrictions, both of which boosted economic activity. Continued efforts to vaccinate a high proportion of the population and the recent implementation of a “vaccine passport” in early July is expected to further accelerate the economic recovery. With increased optimism regarding an acceleration of an economic recovery, long-term rates increased sharply during the first quarter, but moderated in the second quarter. However, interest rates across the curve remain at relatively low levels, and continue to negatively impact net interest margin as new loan origination rates remain below existing portfolio yields. In the second quarter of 2021, the bank’s net interest margin was 2.98% compared to 2.95% and 3.21% for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively.
In response to COVID-19, ASB made short-term loan modifications to borrowers who were generally payment current at the time of relief. As of June 30, 2021, approximately $2 million of loans remained in their active deferral period. For the loans that have completed their short-term payment deferral period, approximately $17 million of loans required further assistance through repayment modifications and ASB reflected these loans as troubled debt restructured loans as of June 30, 2021. Approximately $12 million of loans were not able to resume their contractual payments and were considered delinquent as of June 30, 2021.
As a result of an overall continued strengthening of the Hawaii economy and a corresponding improvement in the credit outlook in the second quarter of 2021, as reflected in upgrades in the commercial loan portfolio and overall lower net charge offs, ASB recorded a $12 million negative provision for credit losses to reduce the allowance for credit losses. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the bank recorded a negative provision for credit losses of $20.6 million. The provision for credit losses in future quarters will be dependent on future economic conditions and changes to borrower credit quality at that time.
In 2020, ASB temporarily closed 15 of its 49 branches and reduced banking hours at the branches that remained open in an effort to reduce social gathering and protect employees and customers. The bank has since reopened six of the branches that were temporarily closed and permanently closed eight branches. One of the reopened branches is now a digital branch. The reduction in ASB’s branch network should not have a significant impact to the bank’s customers as there are other branches nearby and other channels such as online and mobile banking. ASB continues to evaluate its branch network to determine whether further changes may be appropriate given its customers’ use of other banking channels.
ASB’s senior management team continues to address the impacts to the operations and business of the bank as a result of the pandemic. Senior management also continues to meet regularly with ASB’s board of directors to keep them apprised of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The CARES Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act provided over $2 trillion in economic assistance for American workers, families, and small businesses, and job preservation for American industries. The PPP was established under the CARES Act and implemented by the United States Small Business Administration (SBA) to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. The Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act was signed into law on June 5, 2020 and the Economic Aid Act was signed into law on December 27, 2020, which amended some of the prior rules and guidelines of the CARES Act. The Economic Aid Act established a second round of PPP, reopening the PPP for first-time borrowers and allowing for a second draw for businesses that meet more restrictive eligibility criteria to target businesses hardest hit by the pandemic. Loans issued through the PPP are 100% federally guaranteed and have a maturity of 2-5 years, depending on when the loan was made, at a fixed interest rate of 1%. Loan payments will be deferred until the earlier of (a) the date that the forgiven amount is remitted to the lender by the SBA; or (b) 10 months from the date the covered period ends. The SBA will forgive all loan amounts to a particular small business if such small business is compliant with the terms and conditions of the PPP. Small businesses generally have 24 weeks from disbursement of the loan to incur allowable expenses such as payroll costs, interest on mortgages, rent and utility expenses that would be covered by the loan forgiveness rules, with 60% of the loan forgiveness needing to be for payroll costs. Small businesses may receive partial forgiveness if they do not spend the entirety of their PPP loan on eligible expenses, or if less than 60% of the loan disbursement is spent on payroll costs. Employers had until December 31, 2020 to restore their workforce, or, for a PPP loan made after December 27, 2020, before the last day of the Covered Period. Lenders processed and approved the PPP loans under delegated authority of the SBA. As an existing SBA certified lender, ASB worked with a number of small businesses, both customers and non-customers, to complete the loan application forms so that these businesses could participate in the program. During the first round of PPP, the Bank secured more than $370 million in PPP loans for approximately 4,100 small businesses that supported over 40,000 jobs; ASB received processing fees totaling approximately $13 million and started recognizing these fees over the life of the loans. During the second round of PPP, ASB secured more than $175 million for
approximately 2,200 small businesses that supported more than 20,000 jobs; ASB received processing fees for approximately $9 million. As of July 16, 2021, SBA has remitted forgiveness funds in the amount of $320 million for more than 3,700 Round 1 and Round 2 PPP loans representing approximately 99% of PPP loan applicant balances.
Other provisions of the CARES Act provides that a financial institution may elect to suspend the requirements under GAAP for certain loan modifications that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR and any related impairment for accounting purposes. See Note 4 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and “Economic conditions” in the “HEI Consolidated” section above.
ASB continues to maintain its low-risk profile, strong balance sheet and straightforward community banking business model.

1 Includes loans held for sale, at lower of cost or fair value.
2 Includes recognition of net deferred loan fees of $4.6 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $7.4 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively,
together with interest accrued prior to suspension of interest accrual on nonaccrual loans. Includes nonaccrual loans.
3 For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the taxable-equivalent basis adjustments made to the table above were not material.
4 Defined as net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, as a percentage of average total interest-earning assets.
Earning assets, costing liabilities, contingencies and other factors. Earnings of ASB depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on earning assets and interest paid on costing liabilities. The interest rate environment has been impacted by disruptions in the financial markets over a period of several years. In 2020, the Federal
Open Market Committee lowered its federal funds rate target range to 0% - 0.25% in response to the financial crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in a decrease in ASB’s net interest income and net interest margin. A prolonged low interest rate environment may continue to negatively impact ASB’s net interest income and net interest margin.
Loans and mortgage-backed securities are ASB’s primary earning assets.
Loan portfolio. ASB’s loan volumes and yields are affected by market interest rates, competition, demand for financing, availability of funds and management’s responses to these factors. See Note 4 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the composition of ASB’s loans.
Home equity — key credit statistics. The HELOC portfolio makes up 17% of the total loan portfolio and is generally an interest-only revolving loan for a 10-year period, after which time the HELOC outstanding balance converts to a fully amortizing variable-rate term loan with a 20-year amortization period. Borrowers also have a “Fixed Rate Loan Option” to convert a part of their available line of credit into a 5, 7 or 10-year fully amortizing fixed-rate loan with level principal and interest payments. As of June 30, 2021, approximately 23% of the portfolio balances were amortizing loans under the Fixed Rate Loan Option. A HELOC loan is typically in a subordinate lien position to a borrower’s first mortgage loan, however, approximately 58% of ASB’s HELOC loan portfolio is in a first lien position.
Attention had been given by regulators and rating agencies to the potential for increased exposure to credit losses associated with HELOCs that were originated during the period of rapid home price appreciation between 2003 and 2007 as they have reached the end of their 10-year, interest-only payment periods. Once the interest only payment period has ended, payments are reset to include principal repayments along with interest. ASB does not have a large exposure to HELOCs originated between 2003 and 2007. Nearly all of ASB’s HELOC originations prior to 2008 consisted of amortizing equity lines that have structured principal payments during the draw period. These older equity lines represent 1% of the HELOC portfolio.
Loan portfolio risk elements. See Note 4 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Currently, ASB’s investment portfolio consists of U.S. Treasury and federal agency obligations, mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds and mortgage revenue bonds. ASB owns mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government agencies or sponsored agencies, including the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) and Small Business Administration (SBA). Principal and interest on mortgage-backed securities issued by FNMA, FHLMC, GNMA and SBA are guaranteed by the issuer and, in the case of GNMA and SBA, backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. U.S. Treasury securities are also backed by the full faith of the U.S. government. The increase in the investment securities portfolio was primarily due to the purchase of securities with excess liquidity.
Deposits and other borrowings. Deposits continue to be the largest source of funds for ASB and are affected by market interest rates, competition and management’s responses to these factors. While deposits have increased by $486 million year-to-date, in part due to PPP loan proceeds and consumer economic impact payments from the CARES Act stimulus program, deposit retention and sustained growth will remain challenging in the current environment due to competition for deposits and the low level of short-term interest rates. Advances from the FHLB of Des Moines, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and federal funds purchased continue to be additional sources of funds. As of June 30, 2021 ASB’s costing liabilities consisted of 98% deposits and 2% other borrowings compared to 99% deposits and 1% other borrowings as of December 31, 2020. The weighted average cost of deposits for the first six months of 2021 and 2020 was 0.07% and 0.20%, respectively.
Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, ASB had no advances outstanding at the FHLB of Des Moines. As of June 30, 2021, the unused borrowing capacity with the FHLB of Des Moines was $2.0 billion. The FHLB of Des Moines continues to be an important source of liquidity for ASB.
Contingencies. ASB is subject in the normal course of business to pending and threatened legal proceedings. Management does not anticipate that the aggregate ultimate liability arising out of these pending or threatened legal proceedings will be material to its financial position. However, ASB cannot rule out the possibility that such outcomes could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or liquidity for a particular reporting period in the future.
Other factors. Interest rate risk is a significant risk of ASB’s operations and also represents a market risk factor affecting the fair value of ASB’s investment securities. Increases and decreases in prevailing interest rates generally translate into decreases and increases in the fair value of the investment securities, respectively. In addition, changes in credit spreads also impact the fair values of the investment securities.
As of June 30, 2021, ASB had an unrealized loss, net of taxes, on available-for-sale investment securities (including securities pledged for repurchase agreements) in AOCI of $8.8 million compared to an unrealized gain, net of taxes, of $20.0 million as of December 31, 2020. See “Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk” for a discussion of ASB’s interest rate risk sensitivity.
During the first six months of 2021, ASB recorded a negative provision for credit losses of $20.0 million in the allowance for credit losses primarily due to improvement in the economic outlook, strong credit results including lower net charge-offs and credit upgrades in commercial real estate and commercial loan portfolios and due to lower personal unsecured loan portfolio balances which had higher credit loss rates. During the first six months of 2020, ASB recorded a provision for credit losses of $20.7 million in the allowance for credit losses primarily due to increased loss reserves for the consumer loan portfolio, increased loss rates for the commercial and commercial real estate portfolios and reserves for forecasted deterioration due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

ASB maintains a reserve for credit losses that consists of two components, the allowance for credit losses and an allowance for loan commitments (unfunded reserve). The level of the reserve for unfunded loan commitments is adjusted by recording an expense or recovery in provision for credit losses. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, ASB recorded a recovery in the provision for credit losses for unfunded commitments of $0.7 million and a provision for credit losses for unfunded commitments of $4.8 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the reserve for unfunded loan commitments was $3.7 million and $4.3 million, respectively.
Legislation and regulation. ASB is subject to extensive regulation, principally by the OCC and the FDIC. Depending on ASB’s level of regulatory capital and other considerations, these regulations could restrict the ability of ASB to compete with other institutions and to pay dividends to its shareholder. See the discussion below under “Liquidity and capital resources.”
Changes to Community Bank Leverage Ratio. In April 2020, the federal bank regulatory agencies issued two interim final rules to implement Section 4012 of the CARES Act, which requires the agencies to temporarily lower the community bank leverage ratio to 8 percent. The two rules modify the community bank leverage ratio framework so that:
•Beginning in the second quarter of 2020 and until the end of the year, a banking organization that has a leverage ratio of 8 percent or greater and meets certain other criteria may elect to use the community bank leverage ratio framework; and
•Community banking organizations will have until January 1, 2022 before the community bank leverage ratio requirement is re-established at greater than 9 percent.
Under the interim final rules, the community bank leverage ratio was 8 percent beginning in the second quarter of 2020 and for the remainder of calendar year 2020, 8.5 percent for calendar year 2021, and 9 percent thereafter. The interim final rules also maintain a two-quarter grace period for a qualifying community banking organization whose leverage ratio falls no more than 1 percent below the applicable community bank leverage ratio.
As of June 30, 2021, the bank was in compliance with all of the minimum capital requirements under OCC regulations, and was categorized as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, ASB adopted the community bank leverage ratio framework, which allowed it to report only on the community bank leverage ratio, but does not change minimum capital requirements under OCC regulations. At June 30, 2021 and March
31, 2021, ASB’s leverage ratio was below the 8.5 percent requirement to qualify for abbreviated reporting under the community bank leverage framework for 2021 and will begin reporting its risk-based capital ratios in the third quarter of 2021.
Covered Savings Associations. On May 24, 2019, the OCC issued a final rule to allow federal savings associations with total consolidated assets of $20 billion or less, as reported by the association to the OCC on its call report as of December 31, 2017, to elect to operate as covered savings associations. A covered savings association generally has the same rights and privileges as a national bank that has its main office situated in the same location as the home office of the covered savings association, with some exceptions. On April 1, 2021, the general counsel of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System issued an opinion letter to John Deere Financial, F.S.B. (a corporate subsidiary of a unitary thrift holding company whose structure is similar to that of HEI and ASB) finding that if John Deere Financial, F.S.B. elected to operate as a covered savings association, its parent would no longer be able to hold John Deere Financial, F.S.B. per an exemption under HOLA. Although the Board of Governors has not issued any interpretation directly to ASB, at this point, ASB will not elect to operate as a covered savings association.

As of June 30, 2021, ASB was one of Hawaii’s largest financial institutions based on assets of $8.9 billion and deposits of $7.9 billion.
As of June 30, 2021, ASB’s unused FHLB borrowing capacity was approximately $2.0 billion. As of June 30, 2021, ASB had commitments to borrowers for loans and unused lines and letters of credit of $2.0 billion, of which, commitments to lend to borrowers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings were nil. Management believes ASB’s current sources of funds will enable it to meet these obligations while maintaining liquidity at satisfactory levels.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash provided by ASB’s operating activities was $63 million. Net cash used during the same period by ASB’s investing activities was $633 million, primarily due to purchases of available-for-sale securities of $1.1 billion, purchases of held-to-maturity securities of $187 million, additions to premises and equipment of $6 million, contributions to low income housing investments of $6 million and a net increase in stock from the Federal Home Loan Bank, partly offset by the receipt of investment security repayments and maturities of $359 million, proceeds from the sale of investment securities of $197 million, a net decrease in loans of $92 million, proceeds from the sale of residential loans of $17 million and proceeds from redemption of bank owned life insurance of $3 million. Net cash provided by financing activities during this period was $499 million, primarily due to increases in deposit liabilities of $486 million and a net increase in repurchase agreements of $40 million, partly offset by $28 million in common stock dividends to HEI (through ASB Hawaii).
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash provided by ASB’s operating activities was $29 million. Net cash used during the same period by ASB’s investing activities was $440 million, primarily due to purchases of available-for-sale securities of $477 million, a net increase in loans of $328 million, additions to premises and equipment of $4 million and contributions to low income housing investments of $2 million, partly offset by the receipt of investment security repayments and maturities of $197 million, proceeds from the sale of investment securities of $169 million and proceeds from the sale of low income housing investments of $7 million. Net cash provided by financing activities during this period was $740 million, primarily due to increases in deposit liabilities of $758 million and proceeds from FHLB advances of $30 million, partly offset by a net decrease in repurchase agreements of $20 million and $28 million in common stock dividends to HEI (through ASB Hawaii).
ASB believes that maintaining a satisfactory regulatory capital position provides a basis for public confidence, affords protection to depositors, helps to ensure continued access to capital markets on favorable terms and provides a foundation for growth. FDIC regulations restrict the ability of financial institutions that are not well-capitalized to compete on the same terms as well-capitalized institutions, such as by offering interest rates on deposits that are significantly higher than the rates offered by competing institutions. Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, ASB has adopted the community bank leverage ratio framework and is required to report only its leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, ASB was well-capitalized (well-capitalized ratio requirements noted in parentheses) with a Tier-1 leverage ratio of 8.0% (5.0%) and 8.4%
(5.0%), respectively. All dividends are subject to review by the OCC and FRB and receipt of a letter from the FRB communicating the agencies’ non-objection to the payment of any dividend ASB proposes to declare and pay to HEI (through ASB Hawaii).
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company considers interest-rate risk (a non-trading market risk) to be a significant market risk for ASB as it could potentially have material impacts on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. For additional quantitative and qualitative information about the Company’s market risks, see HEI’s and Hawaiian Electric’s Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in Part II, Item 7A of HEI’s 2020 Form 10-K (pages 74 to 76).
ASB’s interest-rate risk sensitivity measures as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 constitute “forward-looking statements” and were as follows:

ASB’s net interest income (NII) sensitivity profile was less asset sensitive as of June 30, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020, primarily driven by the increase in market rates, growth in the fixed rate portion of the HELOC portfolio and core deposit funded investment securities purchases. The increase in market rates decreased prepayment expectations in the bank’s fixed-rate mortgage and mortgage-backed investment portfolios, driving decreased asset sensitivity. In addition, the fixed rate portion of the HELOC portfolio grew, contributing to decreased asset sensitivity. Lastly, the deployment of strong core deposit growth into new fixed-rate investment purchases further contributed to decreased sensitivity.
Economic value of equity (EVE) sensitivity decreased as of June 30, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020 as the duration of assets lengthened. The steepening of the yield curve led to slower prepayment expectations and lengthened the duration of the fixed-rate mortgage and mortgage-backed investment portfolios.
The computation of the prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes on the NII sensitivity and the percentage change in EVE is based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments, balance changes and pricing strategies, and should not be relied upon as indications of actual results. To the extent market conditions and other factors vary from the assumptions used in the simulation analysis, actual results may differ materially from the simulation results. NII sensitivity analysis measures the change in ASB’s twelve-month, pretax NII in alternate interest rate scenarios, and is intended to help management identify potential exposures in ASB’s current balance sheet and formulate appropriate strategies for managing interest rate risk. The simulation does not contemplate any actions that ASB management might undertake in response to changes in interest rates. Further, the changes in NII vary in the twelve-month simulation period and are not necessarily evenly distributed over the period. These analyses are for analytical purposes only and do not represent management’s views of future market movements, the level of future earnings or the timing of any changes in earnings within the twelve month analysis horizon. The actual impact of changes in interest rates on NII will depend on the magnitude and speed with which rates change, actual changes in ASB’s balance sheet and management’s responses to the changes in interest rates.

EXECUTIVE SEPARATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT
This EXECUTIVE SEPARATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of this 5th day of May, 2021, by and among Richard F. Wacker (“Executive”), American Savings Bank, F.S.B. (“ASB”), and Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (“HEI”) (jointly referred to as “ASB/HEI”).
R E C I T A L S
A.Executive has served ASB as its President and CEO since 2010;
B.ASB has decided to appoint a new CEO of ASB;
C.Executive has asserted certain claims of discrimination, defamation and wrongful discharge;
D.Executive and ASB/HEI wish to define and clarify the rights and obligations of Executive and ASB/HEI (each, a “Party” and together, the “Parties”) with respect to Executive’s departure from ASB and to provide for the payments set forth herein, which shall constitute settlement in full of the arm’s length, bona fide dispute between the Parties as to Executive’s right to any further compensation, consideration or benefits payable to Executive.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the Parties hereby agree as follows.
A G R E E M E N T
1.SEPARATION.
Effective 5:00 pm HST, May 7, 2021 (the “Separation Date”), Executive shall resign from employment with ASB as an executive officer and any director or other positions held at or on behalf of ASB, including the board of directors of ASB, the HEI Charitable Foundation, Hawaii Bankers Association, the Hawaii Business Roundtable, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Community Depository Institutions Advisory Council (CDIAC) and any roles related to ASB/HEI post-retirement benefit plan governance. Executive further agrees promptly to execute any and all other documents and take any and all other actions reasonably required by ASB/HEI to effectuate such resignations.
2.SEPARATION BENEFITS.
In consideration of the Executive’s execution of this Agreement and Executive’s promises hereunder and Executive’s full and timely performance of all Executive’s promises and obligations in this Agreement, including continued cooperation in the management transition and productive work for ASB until the Separation Date, as well as the releases and promises provided below, ASB agrees to provide to Executive the separation pay and other benefits described below (the “Separation Benefits”). Executive acknowledges that the Separation Benefits are not otherwise due and owing to Executive and are provided solely in consideration of Executive’s execution of and compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
a.ASB shall pay Executive the total sum of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), fifty (50) percent of which shall be attributable as general damages and reported
on IRS Form 1099 and fifty (50) percent of which shall be attributable as wages and reported on IRS Form W-2, and corresponding Hawaii tax forms, less applicable legally required taxes and authorized deductions (the “Separation Pay”), payable no later than May 14, 2021.
b.In addition to the Separation Pay, ASB/HEI or its affiliated charitable foundation agrees to match charitable donations that Executive and his spouse, Eileen Wacker, make to recognized charitable causes they have actively supported at the rate of two dollars ($2.00) for every one dollar ($1.00) contributed by Executive and his spouse, for a period of two (2) years following the Separation Date, up to a maximum of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) total contributed by ASB/HEI or its affiliated charitable foundation, provided such charitable donations are consistent with ASB/HEI’s or its affiliated charitable foundation’s historical custom and practice governing charitable donations. Executive agrees that ASB/HEI or its affiliated charitable foundation shall have the right to object and decline to contribute to any charity to which they would not otherwise make a contribution, however such objection shall not be unreasonable.
c.Executive hereby waives and agrees that he shall not receive any benefit or compensation under any of the compensatory or benefit plans maintained by ASB/HEI or their respective affiliates (other than as set forth in Section 2(a) or in this Section 2(c)), including, without limitation, any accrued or unused vacation or paid time off plan or policy of ASB, any worker’s compensation or other disability plan or program of ASB, and any short- or long-term incentive plans or other compensatory or similar programs of ASB/HEI, including any stock-based plans or programs. Executive shall be entitled to any vested retirement or 401(k) benefit, but shall cease as of the Separation Date to be entitled to any further compensation, consideration or benefits other than as outlined in this Section 2.
3.RELEASES OF CLAIMS.
(a)General Release by Executive. In consideration for the benefits of this Agreement, Executive, on behalf of himself, his spouse, heirs, successors and assigns, hereby releases ASB, HEI and each of its and their respective past and present officers, directors, employees, agents, insurers and attorneys and any parent, subsidiary, affiliated or related companies and their respective successors and assigns (“Company Released Parties”) from any and all claims, demands, actions or other legal responsibilities of any kind which Executive may have based on, or pertaining to, his employment with ASB or the termination of such employment (“Release”). THIS RELEASE IS A GENERAL RELEASE. This Release includes, but is not limited to, any claims Executive may have for wages, bonuses, equity compensation, or other compensation due, claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, as amended, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Hawaii Employment Practices Law, the Hawaii Whistleblower Protection Act or any other federal, state or local law or regulation affecting employment rights or prohibiting employment discrimination. Employee agrees to withdraw from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission his Charges of Discrimination and any other claims, complaints or charges filed with the Hawaii Civil Rights
Commission or other agency, and agrees to cooperate to execute any documents to effectuate such withdrawals. This Release does not limit any Party’s right, where applicable, to initiate or participate in an investigative proceeding of any federal, state or local governmental agency. This Release also includes any claim for defamation, intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress, loss of consortium, hostile workplace, wrongful discharge, retaliation, violation of any public policy or statute, breach of any implied or express contract between Executive and any Released Party, any policy of ASB or any Released Party, or any remedy for any such claim or breach. Executive understands that the release of claims set forth in this Section 3(a) covers both known and unknown claims. This Release shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(b)Attorneys’ Fees Waiver. Executive specifically acknowledges that the Separation Pay provided in Section 2(a) above includes Executive’s attorneys’ fees and costs and that he shall be responsible for paying any and all claims for attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by any and all attorneys who have represented him. Executive hereby waives and agrees that he shall not make any claims against any of the Company Released Parties for attorneys’ fees for the claims released in this Agreement, including but not limited to any fees that Employee may claim under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(k) and/or the Civil Rights Attorneys’ Fees Act of 1976, 42 U.S.C. § 1988 and/or Chapters 368, 378 and 386 Hawaii Rev. Stat., as amended.
(c)Executive’s Representations. Executive represents and agrees that ASB has granted Executive any leave to which he is entitled from ASB under the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Hawaii Family Leave Law, the Hawaii Employment Practices Law, and any other federal, state, or local leave or disability accommodations law. Executive represents and agrees that he is not Medicare eligible and has not filed a claim for Medicare benefits. Executive represents and agrees that he has not suffered any on-the-job injury or illness for which Executive has not already filed a claim or which is not being compensated by the Separation Benefits. Executive further agrees and acknowledges that the Separation Pay shall be deemed an offset to any amounts hereafter found due under H.R.S. § 386 for any work-related injury that Executive may assert or claim.
(d)ADEA Waiver and Release. Without limiting the scope of this Agreement in any way, Executive certifies that the Release in this Agreement constitutes a knowing and voluntary waiver of any and all rights or claims that exist or that Executive has or may claim to have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), as amended by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act of 1990 (29 U.S.C. §§ 621, et seq.). This release does not govern any rights or claims that might arise under the ADEA after the date this Agreement is signed by the Parties. Executive acknowledges that: (a) the consideration provided pursuant to this Agreement is in addition to any consideration that Executive would otherwise be entitled to receive; (b) Executive has received the advice of counsel, to the extent he wishes to do so, prior to signing this Agreement; and (c) Executive has been provided a full and ample opportunity to review this Agreement.
(e)Complete Bar to Suit. Executive acknowledges that upon signing, this Agreement and the Release herein become final and irrevocable, and shall act as a complete bar against any claim released by Executive pursuant to this Agreement. Executive promises that he shall never file a lawsuit relating to a claim released hereunder, initiate any other proceeding asserting any such released claim, or permit any person to file such a claim on his behalf, except as provided below. Executive warrants that he has not assigned or transferred to any other person
or entity any of the claims which are the subject of the Release and agrees not to assign or transfer any interest in any such claim.
(f)Covenant Not to Sue. As a further material inducement for ASB/HEI to enter into this Agreement and to pay to Executive the Separation Benefits, Executive hereby agrees not to initiate or file any claim, arbitration, or lawsuit over any matter arising out of Executive’s employment with or separation of employment from ASB; provided, however, this Release and covenant does not waive Executive’s right to initiate a proceeding relating to any breach or violation of this Agreement, pursuant to Section 18. This Release and covenant not to sue does not waive Executive’s right to file any claim that by law cannot be waived, including a claim for workers’ compensation or unemployment benefits or an administrative charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or Hawaiʻi Civil Rights Commission; however, it does waive Executive’s right to independently seek monetary damages for any discrimination or other claim in federal or state court.
(g)Remedy for Breach. Other than as stated above, if Executive files any administrative claim, arbitration, or lawsuit against any of the Company Released Parties based on any released claim under this Agreement arising out of Executive’s employment with or separation from employment with ASB, then in addition to all other remedies provided by law or in equity, Executive agrees to indemnify and hold the Company Released Parties harmless from and against any and all loss, costs, damages, or expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees incurred by the Company Released Parties, or any of them, in defending such administrative claims, arbitrations, or lawsuits arising out of such released claims under this Agreement by Executive, and Executive further agrees to credit any amounts paid under this Agreement against any recovery Executive may obtain.
(h)General Release by ASB and HEI. Each of ASB and HEI, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “ASB/HEI Releasors”), hereby releases Executive (including his estate, and the executors and/or administrators thereof) from any and all claims, demands, actions or other legal responsibilities of any kind arising out of or in any way connected with Executive’s service as an officer, director, employee and/or agent of ASB, his separation from his position as an officer, director, employee and/or agent of ASB, or any other transactions, occurrences, facts, circumstances, acts or omissions or any loss, damage or injury whatever arising out of or in any way connected with Executive’s service as an officer, director, employee and/or agent of ASB, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, resulting from any act or omission by or on the part of Executive committed or omitted prior to the signing of the Agreement (“ASB/HEI Released Claims”); provided, however, the ASB/HEI Released Claims shall not include any and all claims by ASB against Executive arising out of acts of willful misconduct or gross negligence that have materially harmed ASB’s business.
(i)ASB and HEI Covenant Not to Sue. Each of ASB and HEI hereby agrees not to, and to not cause, permit, or allow any of the ASB/HEI Releasors to, at any time hereafter assert any ASB/HEI Released Claim ; provided, however, this Release and covenant does not waive ASB or HEI’s right to initiate a proceeding relating to any breach or violation of this Agreement, pursuant to Section 18. Each of ASB and HEI warrants that it has not assigned or transferred to any other person or entity any of the claims which are the subject of the ASB/HEI Released Claims and agrees not to assign or transfer any interest in any such claim.
4.NON-ADMISSION. Neither this Agreement nor the furnishing of the consideration for this Agreement shall be deemed or construed as an admission of liability or wrongdoing on the part of Executive or HEI/ASB or any of the Company Released Parties, nor shall it be admissible as evidence in any proceeding other than for the enforcement of this Agreement.
5.PROPERTY, DOCUMENTS AND RECORDS. On or before the Separation Date, Executive shall return all physical, computerized, electronic or other types of records, documents, proposals, notes, lists, files and any and all other materials not in the public domain, including, without limitation, computerized and/or electronic information that refers, relates or otherwise pertains to ASB or HEI or their respective officers or directors, and any and all business dealings of said persons and entities. In addition, Executive shall return to ASB all ASB property or equipment that Executive has been issued during the course of his employment or which he otherwise currently possesses, including, but not limited to, any keys or key cards, computers, cellular phones, PDAs and/or pagers. Executive hereby represents and agrees that he has paid in full or will fully pay any outstanding balances due to personal charges on corporate credit cards provided to Executive by ASB prior to the due date specified by the credit card provider. The provisions of this Section are in addition to any other written agreements on this subject that Executive may have with ASB, and are not meant to and do not excuse any additional obligations that Executive may have under such agreements.
6.NON-DISPARAGEMENT, CONFIDENTIALITY & COOPERATION.
(a)Non-disparagement. Executive agrees to refrain from making any disparaging remarks about Company Released Parties to third parties. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “disparage” includes, but is not limited to, comments or statements to the press or media, to ASB/HEI’s executives or employees, or to any individual or entity that could adversely affect the conduct of the business of ASB/HEI or its reputation. ASB and HEI agree to refrain, and shall direct their respective boards of directors and senior management to refrain, from making any disparaging remarks about Executive to third parties that could adversely affect the reputation of Executive.
(b)Confidentiality. Each of the Parties agrees to keep the existence and the terms of this Agreement confidential, and agrees not to voluntarily reveal the existence or terms of this Agreement to any person or entity, except that (i) each Party may reveal to its respective immediate family, attorneys, agents, accountants, financial advisors, or tax advisors such information as may be necessary for the preparation of business records and reports, provided that they agree to keep the contents of this Agreement confidential (ii) each Party may discuss the Agreement with any governmental agency, (iii) ASB/HEI may make such securities law filings and disclosures as are described in Section 6(c) below, and (iv) each Party may disclose any other information required by law. Each of the Parties specifically agrees that because the degree of damages is difficult to calculate, if any Party breaches this confidentiality provision, other Party may seek immediate injunctive relief as well as other legal remedies as available.
(c)Required Securities Laws Filings; Future Employer Positive References. Executive understands and agrees that this Agreement may be disclosed by ASB/HEI to the extent required by federal or state law or regulation. Specifically, but without
limitation, (i) HEI will be summarizing this Agreement in the Current Report on Form 8-K in the form and substance attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Form 8-K”) that it will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) shortly after the public announcement of a new ASB CEO, (ii) this Agreement will be publicly filed as an exhibit to HEI’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (iii) this Agreement will be described in HEI'’s proxy statement for the 2022 annual meeting. ASB agrees to provide a positive written reference for Executive. Executive acknowledges that ASB will issue the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 1. Subject to Section 6(a), ASB/HEI may provide additional information not inconsistent with the Form 8-K and Exhibit 1 and ASB/HEI agree that they will not state that Executive initiated his departure from ASB or that he agreed with ASB/HEI’s succession planning. In addition, nothing in this Agreement shall limit ASB/HEI’s ability to make any disclosure necessary or advisable to comply with the federal securities laws.
(d)Cooperation. Executive further agrees to cooperate reasonably with ASB/HEI regarding any matters relating to ASB/HEI and to notify ASB/HEI if Executive is subpoenaed or called to speak about Executive’s employment. Subject to Executive’s personal and professional schedule commitments, Executive agrees that he shall reasonably cooperate with ASB/HEI concerning reasonable requests for information about the business of ASB/HEI or any of their affiliates or Executive’s involvement and participation therein; the defense, prosecution, or investigation of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of ASB/HEI or any of its affiliates which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while Executive was employed by ASB; and in connection with any audit, investigation or review by any federal, state, or local regulatory, quasi-regulatory, or self-governing authority, or any internal investigation, relating to such events or occurrences. Executive’s cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, being reasonably available to meet in person or electronically and speak with officers and employees of ASB/HEI and/or its counsel at reasonable times and locations, executing accurate and truthful documents including declarations, testifying in connection with any and all legal proceedings at the request of ASB/HEI and without the need for a subpoena, and taking such other actions as may reasonably be requested by ASB/HEI and/or its counsel to effectuate the foregoing. ASB/HEI will reimburse Executive for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including travel, hotel, and meal or similar expenses incurred in complying with this Section.
(e)Continuing Indemnification.
Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, Executive will continue to have the indemnification rights as a former director and executive officer under ASB’s charter and by-laws with respect to acts or omissions by Executive occurring prior to the Separation Date.
7.NON-SOLICITATION AND NON-COMPETITION.
(a)Covenant Not to Solicit Employees. Unless otherwise consented to in writing by ASB’s Authorized Representative (as defined below in Section 17), until November 30, 2021 Executive shall not directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any other person or entity, whether as principal, agent, stockholder, employee, executive, consultant, representative or in any other capacity:
(1)recruit, solicit or encourage any person to leave the employ of ASB or any of its affiliates; or
(2)hire or retain any employee of ASB or any of its affiliates as a regular employee, independent contractor, or otherwise.
(b)Non-Competition. Executive recognizes and acknowledges the competitive and proprietary nature of the business operations of ASB and its affiliates. Until November 30, 2021, Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of ASB/HEI, for himself or on behalf of any other person or entity, directly or indirectly, whether as principal, agent, employee, executive, consultant, representative or in any other capacity, own, manage, operate or control, or be concerned, connected or employed by, or otherwise associated in any manner with, engage in or have a financial interest in any of Bank of Hawaii, First Hawaiian Bank or Central Pacific Bank, or any of their affiliated or related entities, except that nothing contained herein shall preclude Executive from (i) purchasing or owning stock in any such competitive business if such stock is publicly traded, provided that his holdings are less than five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of such business or (ii) interfacing with such competitive business in the normal course of Executive’s personal involvement in community activities.
8.EQUITABLE RELIEF. In addition to, and not in limitation of, any other remedy which may be available with respect to a breach of this Agreement by any Party, the non-breaching Parties shall be entitled to equitable relief with respect to violations of Sections 5, 6, and 7hereof. Such right to equitable relief shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
9.INDEMNIFICATION.
(a)Indemnification by Executive. Executive agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Company Released Parties harmless from and against any claim, demand, cause of action, lawsuit, damages or judgment asserted, filed or obtained by Executive or any person acting on Executive’s behalf with respect to any claim subject to the Release, including costs and attorneys’ fees, and further agree that they shall not bring, commence, institute, maintain or prosecute any action at law or proceeding in equity or any proceeding whatsoever based in whole or in part upon any claim subject to the Release. Such right to indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(b)Indemnification by ASB and HEI. Each of ASB and HEI, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify, defend and hold Executive harmless from and against any claim, demand, cause of action, lawsuit, damages or judgment asserted, filed or obtained by any of the ASB/HEI Releasors or any person acting on any of the ASB/HEI Releasors’ behalf with respect to any claim subject to the ASB/HEI Released Claims, including costs and attorneys’ fees, and further agree that they shall not bring, commence, institute, maintain or prosecute any action at law or proceeding in equity or any proceeding whatsoever based in whole or in part upon any
ASB/HEI Released Claims. Such right to indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
10.TAX MATTERS.
(a)Taxable Income. ASB/HEI makes no representation as to whether or not any payments received by Executive hereunder will be treated as includible in or excludable from gross income for purposes of any tax. Executive agrees to defend and indemnify ASB/HEI from any tax liability or penalties assessed for Executive’s nonpayment of taxes on the consideration stated above.
(b)Reporting of Separation Pay. The Parties and their respective affiliates shall report, act, and file all tax returns and information reports in all respects and for all purposes consistent with the characterization and allocations of the Seperation Pay set forth in Section 2(a). None of the Parties or their respective affiliates shall take any position (whether in audits, tax returns or otherwise) which is inconsistent with such allocations unless required to do so by applicable law or to protect ASB/HEI.
(c)Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
a.This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”), including the exceptions thereto, and shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, payments provided under this Agreement may only be made upon an event and in a manner that complies with Section 409A or an applicable exemption. Any payments under this Agreement that may be excluded from Section 409A either as separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service, as a short-term deferral, or as a settlement payment pursuant to a bona fide legal dispute shall be excluded from Section 409A to the maximum extent possible. For purposes of Section 409A, each installment payment provided under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. The parties hereby acknowledge that all payments under this Agreement are being made in connection with a termination of employment constituting a “separation from service” under Section 409A.
b.Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, because the Executive is a “specified employee” as determined in accordance with Section 409A, all payments and benefits provided under this Agreement that constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A that are provided to the Executive on account of the Executive’s separation from service (it being understood and agreed by the Parties that the Separation Pay does not constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A) shall not be paid until the first date following the six month anniversary of the Separation Date (the “Specified Employee Payment Date”). The aggregate amount of any payments that would otherwise have been made during such six month period shall be paid in a lump sum on the Specified Employee Payment Date and, thereafter, any remaining payments shall be paid without delay in accordance with their original schedule. If the Executive dies before the Specified Employee Payment Date,
any delayed payments shall be paid to the Executive’s estate in a lump sum within 10 days after the Executive’s death.
c.To the extent required by Section 409A, each reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided under this Agreement shall be provided in accordance with the following:
i.the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during each calendar year cannot affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year;
ii.any reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be paid to the Executive on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred; and
iii.any right to reimbursements or in-kind benefits under this Agreement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
d.Neither ASB nor HEI (nor any of their respective affiliates) makes any representation that any or all of the payments described herein will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to any such payments. Executive understands and agrees that Executive shall be solely responsible for the payment of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses incurred by Executive on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.
11.WAIVERS. If any Party to this Agreement shall waive any breach of any provision of this Agreement, he, she or it shall not thereby be deemed to have waived any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
12.COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The execution of this Agreement may be evidenced by signature transmitted by facsimile or by emailed scan, with original signatures to follow; provided, however, that if originals are not so provided, the signature transmitted by facsimile or emailed scan shall be for all purposes treated as an original signature.
13.GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Hawaii, without reference to its conflict of laws provisions. Any action to enforce the terms of this Agreement shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Hawaii, which shall have exclusive jurisdiction in any legal action that may arise under this Agreement.
14.ATTORNEYS’ FEES. In the event any Party to this Agreement initiates any action, suit, motion, application, arbitration (if permitted hereunder or court ordered or referenced) or other proceeding which concerns the interpretation or enforcement of this
Agreement, the prevailing Party in such action, suit, motion, application, arbitration or other proceeding, shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees from the nonprevailing Party, including costs and fees on appeal, if any, and costs of collection and enforcement of awards and judgments, without giving effect to any statutory presumption or limitation.
15.SEVERABILITY. If one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and this Agreement shall thereupon be reformed, construed and enforced to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
16.NOTICES. Any notice, consent, request or demand required or permitted to be given under the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be signed by the Party giving or making the same. Such notice, consent, request or demand may be hand delivered, but if it is mailed to a Party, it shall be sent by electronic mail, United States mail, or other nationally recognized courier, postage prepaid, addressed to such Party’s last known address. The date of such mailing shall be deemed the date of notice, consent, request or demand.
Notices to Executive shall be addressed to the most recent home address for Executive on file with ASB as of the date of this Agreement:
Notices to ASB and HEI shall be addressed as follows:

17.AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE. ASB’s Authorized Representative for purposes of this Agreement shall be ASB’s Chairman of the Board.
18.RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof, except a violation of Sections 6, 7 and 8 above (for which the remedy to seek immediate injunctive relief shall be preserved), shall be resolved by submitting the issue to confidential and binding arbitration in Honolulu pursuant to the rules and procedures of Dispute Prevention & Resolution, Inc., each Party to bear its/his/her own costs subject to the award of the arbitrator.
19.ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties in respect of the subject matter described herein and supersedes all prior and other contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations, representations, and warranties. This Agreement may not be changed or modified except by an agreement in writing signed by the Parties hereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree that the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

For purposes hereof:
(A)when the Borrower has Issuer Ratings from all three of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch: (i) if two or three of the three Issuer Ratings are in the same Pricing Level, such Pricing Level shall apply and (ii) if each of the three Issuer Ratings are in different Pricing Levels, the Issuer Ratings corresponding to the highest and the lowest Pricing Levels shall be disregarded and the Pricing Level shall be determined by reference to the Pricing Level which corresponds to the remaining Issuer Rating;
(B)when the Borrower has Issuer Ratings from only two of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch: (i) if both of the two Issuer Ratings are in the same Pricing Level, such Pricing Level shall apply and (ii) if the two Issuer Ratings are split-rated (x) by one Pricing Level, the Pricing Level shall be determined by the higher of the two (e.g., an Issuer Rating of BBB-/Baa2 results in Pricing Level III) or (y) by more than one Pricing Level, the Pricing Level shall be determined by the Pricing Level one below the Pricing Level which corresponds to the higher Issuer Rating (e.g., an Issuer Rating of BBB-/Baa1 results in Pricing Level III and an Issuer Rating of BBB+/Baa3 results in Pricing Level III);
(C)when the Borrower has an Issuer Rating from only one of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch: the Pricing Level shall be determined by reference to the Pricing Level immediately below the Pricing Level which corresponds to the one Issuer Rating in effect (provided that if the one Issuer Rating in effect corresponds to Pricing Level V, then Pricing Level V shall apply); and
(D)when the Borrower does not have an Issuer Rating from any of S&P, Moody’s or Fitch: Pricing Level V shall apply.
If the Issuer Ratings established or deemed to have been established by S&P, Moody’s and Fitch shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of S&P, Moody’s or Fitch), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency, irrespective
of when notice of such change shall have been furnished by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Each change in the Applicable Margin shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of S&P, Moody’s or Fitch shall change, or if any such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Lenders) shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.
It is hereby understood and agreed that (a) the Commitment Fee shall be adjusted from time to time based upon the Sustainability Fee Adjustment (to be calculated and applied as set forth in Schedule 1.02) and (b) the Applicable Margin with respect to Eurodollar Borrowings, ABR Borrowings and Letters of Credit shall be adjusted from time to time based upon the Sustainability Margin Adjustment (to be calculated and applied as set forth in Schedule 1.02); provided that in no event shall any of the Commitment Rate, the Eurodollar Margin or the ABR Margin be less than 0.00%.

If the Commitments have terminated or expired, the Applicable Percentages shall be determined based upon the Commitments most recently in effect, giving effect to any assignments and to any Lender’s status as a Defaulting Lender at the time of such determination.
“Approved Electronic Platform” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section
9.09(a).

provided that, in the case of clause (1), such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion; provided further that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Term SOFR Transition Event, and the delivery of a Term SOFR Notice, on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date the “Benchmark Replacement” shall revert to and

(b)the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon an index cessation event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; and
(2)for purposes of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for Dollar- denominated syndicated credit facilities;
provided that, in the case of clause (1) above, such adjustment is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.
“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Alternate Base Rate,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides in its reasonable discretion are generally consistent with changes made by the Administrative Agent in other syndicated credit facilities agented by it and may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such
Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is generally consistent with changes made by the Administrative Agent in other syndicated credit facilities agented by it and reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).
“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:
(1)in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);
(2)in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein;
(3)in the case of a Term SOFR Transition Event, the date that is thirty (30) days after the date a Term SOFR Notice is provided to the Lenders and the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.04(c); or

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).
“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:
(1)a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);
(2)a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Board, the NYFRB, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or
(3)a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer representative.
For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).
“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) of that definition has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 3.04 and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 3.04.

Section 1.04 Amendment and Restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement
The parties to this Agreement agree that, upon (i) the execution and delivery by each of the parties hereto of this Agreement and (ii) satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.01, the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be and hereby are amended, superseded and restated in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not constitute a novation. All Revolving Loans made and obligations incurred under the Existing Credit Agreement which are outstanding on the Effective Date shall continue as Revolving Loans and obligations under (and, as of the Effective Date, shall be governed by the terms of) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the effectiveness hereof: (a) all references in the “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) to the “Administrative Agent”, the “Credit Agreement” and the “Loan Documents” shall be deemed to refer to the Administrative Agent, this Agreement and the Loan Documents, (b) the Existing Letters of Credit which remain outstanding on the Effective Date shall continue as Letters of Credit under (and, as of the Effective Date, shall be governed by the terms of) this Agreement, (c) all obligations of the Borrower owing to any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement which are outstanding on the Effective Date shall continue as obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (d) the Administrative Agent shall make such reallocations, sales, assignments or other relevant actions in respect of each Lender’s credit exposure under the Existing Credit Agreement as are necessary in order that each such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure and outstanding Revolving Loans hereunder reflect such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding aggregate Revolving Exposures on the Effective Date and (e) the Borrower hereby agrees to compensate each Lender for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with the sale and assignment of any Eurodollar Loans (including the “Eurodollar Loans” under the Existing Credit Agreement) and such reallocation described above, in each case on the terms and in the manner set forth in Section 3.06 hereof.
Section 1.05 Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification
The interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”). LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) publicly announced that:
(a)immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; (b) immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12- month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and (c) immediately after June 30, 2023, the
1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a changed methodology (or “synthetic”) basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Each party to this agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, Section 3.04(b) and Section 3.04(c) provide the mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 3.04(e), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent 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 LIBOR or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 3.04(b) or Section 3.04(c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 3.04(d)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.
Section 1.06 Letter of Credit Amounts
Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the amount of such Letter of Credit available to be drawn at such time; provided that, with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Letter of Credit Agreement related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the available amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum amount is available to be drawn at such time.
Section 1.07 Divisions
For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and
(b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.
ARTICLE 2. THE CREDITS
Section 2.01 Commitments
Prior to the Effective Date, certain loans were previously made to the Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement which remain outstanding as of the date of this Agreement (such outstanding loans being hereinafter referred to as the “Existing Loans”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Borrower and each of the Lenders agree that on the Effective Date but subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.01 and the reallocation and other
transactions described in Section 1.04, the Existing Loans shall, as of the Effective Date, be reevidenced as Revolving Loans under this Agreement and the terms of the Existing Loans shall be restated in their entirety and shall be evidenced by this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result (after giving effect to any application of proceeds of such Borrowing to any Swingline Loans outstanding pursuant to Section 2.06(a)) in (a) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment or (b) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.
Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings
(a)Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder, provided that the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Revolving Loans as required. Any Swingline Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.13.
(b)Subject to Section 3.04, each Revolving Loan shall be an ABR Loan or a Eurodollar Loan, as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith (including Section 3.02). Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan (and any ABR Loan, the interest on which is determined pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of Alternate Base Rate) by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan (and in the case of an Affiliate, the provisions of Sections 3.05, 3.06 and 3.07 shall apply to such Affiliate to the same extent as to such Lender), provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and neither such Lender nor such Affiliate shall be entitled to any amounts payable under Sections 3.05 or 3.07 solely in respect of increased costs or taxes resulting from such exercise and existing at the time of such exercise.
(c)At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000. At the time that each ABR Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan) is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000, provided that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Revolving Commitments. Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time, provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of fifteen Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding.
(d)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Eurodollar Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Commitment Termination Date.
Section 2.03 Requests for Borrowings
To request a Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan, requests for which are governed by Section 2.13), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request either (x) by email from (with
such email request being confirmed promptly by delivery of a written Borrowing Request signed by) the President of the Borrower, a Financial Officer or the Hawaiian Electric Cash Manager or (y) by delivery of a written Borrowing Request signed by the President of the Borrower, a Financial Officer or the Hawaiian Electric Cash Manager, (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable (except as otherwise provided in Section 3.04). Each such Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i)the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;
(ii)the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii)whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;
(iv)in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and
(v)the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.04.
If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.
Section 2.04 Funding of Borrowings
(a)Each Lender shall make each Revolving Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof solely by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.13. Subject to Section 5.02, the Administrative Agent will make the proceeds of such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting or otherwise transferring the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request.
(b)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Revolving 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 the Borrower 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 by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, for a Eurodollar Borrowing or by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, for an ABR Borrowing on the applicable day, then such Lender and the Borrower 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 was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of
such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, or
(x)in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate that would be otherwise applicable to such Borrowing. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in such Borrowing. Such payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to its rights against each Lender who fails to fund its share of any Borrowing.
Section 2.05 Termination, Reduction and Increase of Commitments
(a)Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments and the Letter of Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date.
(b)The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments, provided that (i) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.07 and/or any concurrent cash collateralization of the Letter of Credit Exposure, (w) the amount of any Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed its Revolving Commitment, (x) the Aggregate Credit Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (y) the total Revolving Credit Exposures of all of the Lenders would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or (z) the Aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Letter of Credit Commitments, and (ii) each such reduction shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000.
(c)The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least two 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 notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided, that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments hereunder shall be permanent but without prejudice to the rights of the Borrower under paragraph (d) below. Each reduction of the Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.
(d)Provided that immediately before and after giving effect thereto, no Default shall or would exist and be continuing and the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 have been satisfied or waived, the Borrower may at any time and from time to time, on or before the Commitment Termination Date referred to in clause (a) of the definition thereof, request any one or more of the Lenders to increase (such decision to be within the sole and absolute discretion of such Lender) its Revolving Commitment and Letter of Credit Commitment, and/or any other Eligible Assignee reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to provide a new Revolving Commitment and a new Letter of Credit Commitment, by submitting an Increase Request in the form of Exhibit F (an “Increase Request”), duly executed by the Borrower and each such Lender or Eligible Assignee, as the case may be. Thereupon, the Administrative Agent shall execute such Increase Request and deliver a copy thereof to the Borrower and each such Lender or Eligible Assignee, as the case may be.
Upon execution and delivery of such Increase Request, (i) in the case of each such Lender, such Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall be increased to the amount set forth in such Increase Request, (ii) in the case of each such Eligible Assignee, such Eligible Assignee shall become a party hereto and shall for all purposes of the Loan Documents be deemed a “Lender” with a Revolving Commitment in the amount set forth in such Increase Request, and (iii) the Borrower shall contemporaneously therewith execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Note or Notes for each such Eligible Assignee providing a new Revolving Commitment and for such existing Lender increasing its Revolving Commitment provided, however, that:
(i)immediately after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall not have been increased pursuant to this subsection (d) to an amount greater than the sum of (x) $225,000,000 plus (y) the amount of the Revolving Commitment of each Lender that becomes a Defaulting Lender;
(ii)each such increase shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 or such amount plus an integral multiple of $1,000,000;
(iii)the Revolving Commitments shall not be increased on more than three occasions;
(iv)the Administrative Agent shall have received documents (including, without limitation, one or more opinions of counsel) consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrower to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase;
(v)if Loans shall be outstanding immediately after giving effect to such increase, the Lenders shall, upon the acceptance of the Increase Request by, and at the direction of, the Administrative Agent, make appropriate adjustments among themselves so that the amount of Revolving Credit Exposures from any of the Lenders under this Agreement are allocated among the Lenders according to their Commitment Percentages after giving effect to the increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments (it being understood and agreed that any reallocation made pursuant to this clause (v) shall require the Borrower to make payment pursuant to Section 3.06 with respect to any affected Eurodollar Loans); and
(vi)each such Eligible Assignee shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower an Administrative Questionnaire and all forms, if any, that are required to be delivered by such Eligible Assignee pursuant to Section 3.07(e).
Section 2.06 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt
(a)The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Commitment Termination Date and (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Commitment Termination Date and the date that is the 21st Business Day after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Loan is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding and the proceeds of any such Borrowing shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to repay any Swingline Loans outstanding.
(b)Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower 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.
(c)The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type and Class thereof and, if applicable, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
(d)The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall, to the extent not inconsistent with any entries made in any Note, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein except for clearly demonstrated error; provided, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that in the event of any inconsistency between the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) and any Lender’s records, the accounts of the Administrative Agent shall govern.
(e)The Loans of each Lender and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be evidenced by one or more Notes payable to such Lender (or its registered assigns).
Section 2.07 Prepayment of Loans
(a)The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section.
(b)In the event of any partial reduction or termination of the Commitments, then at or prior to the date of such reduction or termination, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the Aggregate Credit Exposures after giving effect thereto, and if such sum would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such reduction or termination, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction or termination, prepay Revolving Borrowings, and/or cash collateralize the Letter of Credit Exposure, in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.
(c)Mandatory Prepayments.
(i)The Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans, by an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans over the Aggregate Revolving Commitments.
(ii)Simultaneously with each reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, (1) in the event that the Aggregate Letter of Credit Commitments shall exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments as so reduced or terminated, the Aggregate Letter of Credit Commitments shall be automatically reduced, and/or the Letter of Credit Exposure shall be cash collateralized, by an amount equal to such excess, and (2) the Borrower shall prepay the Loans by an amount equal to the excess, if any, of
the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans over the Aggregate Revolving Commitments as so reduced or terminated.
(d)Simultaneously with each prepayment of a Loan, the Borrower shall, if and to the extent required by Section 3.01(d), prepay all accrued interest on the amount prepaid through the date of prepayment.
(e)The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by either (x) email notice, which may be given by the President of the Borrower, a Financial Officer or the Hawaiian Electric Cash Manager of any prepayment under Section 2.07(a) (with such email notice being confirmed promptly by delivery of a written notice in a form approved by the Administrative Agent signed by the President of the Borrower, a Financial Officer or the Hawaiian Electric Cash Manager) or
(y) written notice in a form approved by the Administrative Agent signed by the President of the Borrower, a Financial Officer or the Hawaiian Electric Cash Manager (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan), not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day of the prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided, that if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments contemplated by Section 2.05(c), then such notice of prepayment may also be conditional and may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.05(c). Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a prepayment of a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing under Section 2.07(a) shall, be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest if and to the extent required by Section 3.01.
Section 2.08 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs
(a)The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 or 10.03, or otherwise) prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff 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 at its office at 10 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois, 60603, or such other office as to which the Administrative Agent may notify the other parties hereto, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 3.03(b) (with respect to the fronting fee and other amounts payable to the Issuing Bank), 3.03(c), 3.05, 3.06, 3.07, 3.08, 10.03 and 10.04 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. In the event the Administrative Agent has not in fact made available to each Lender its share of the applicable payment within one Business Day of the receipt thereof, then the Administrative Agent agrees to pay to the applicable Lender forthwith on demand its share of
such payment with interest thereon for each day, from and including the second Business Day after such payment was received by the Administrative Agent but excluding the date of payment by the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 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 of accrued interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.
(b)If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal of Loans, interest, fees and commissions then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest, fees and commissions then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest, fees and commissions then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal of Loans then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal of Loans then due to such parties.
(c)If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of, or interest on, any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans 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 Loans, 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 the Borrower 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 to any assignee or participant. The Borrower 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 the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(d)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Credit Parties hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to such Credit Parties the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each such Credit Party severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Credit Party 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 greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(e)If any Credit Party shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding
any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Credit Party to satisfy such Credit Party’s obligations under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
Section 2.09 Letter of Credit Sub-Facility
(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing Bank, in reliance on the agreement of the other Lenders set forth in Section 2.10, may agree, but shall have no obligation, to issue standby or documentary letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”; each, individually, a “Letter of Credit”) during the Availability Period for the account of the Borrower, provided that immediately after the issuance of each Letter of Credit (i) the Letter of Credit Exposure of each Lender (whether or not the conditions for drawing under any Letter of Credit have or may be satisfied) would not exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment, (ii) the Aggregate Credit Exposure would not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and (iii) each Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure would not exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the letters of credit identified on Schedule 2.09 (the “Existing Letters of Credit”) shall be deemed to be “Letters of Credit” issued on the Effective Date for all purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Section shall have an expiration date which shall be not later than the earlier of (i) twelve months after the date of issuance thereof and (ii) five Business Days before the Commitment Termination Date referred to in clause (a) of the definition thereof, provided that any Letter of Credit with a twelve-month tenor may provide for the periodic and/or successive extensions thereof for additional twelve- month periods not expiring after the date referred to in clause (ii) above. No Letter of Credit shall be issued if the Administrative Agent, or the Required Lenders by notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, shall have determined that any condition set forth in Section 5.01 or 5.02 has not been satisfied. The Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or require that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Effective Date and that the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; or (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.
(b)Each Letter of Credit shall be issued for the account of the Borrower in support of an obligation of the Borrower or a Subsidiary in favor of a beneficiary who has requested the issuance of such Letter of Credit as a condition to a transaction entered into in connection with the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s ordinary course of business. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent a Letter of Credit Request for the issuance of each Letter of Credit by 2:00 p.m. New York City time, two (2) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance. If requested by the Issuing Bank, each Letter of Credit Request shall be accompanied by the Issuing Bank’s standard application and agreement for standby letters of credit (each, a “Reimbursement Agreement”) executed by the President of the Borrower or a Financial Officer, and shall specify the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and the obligations of the Borrower or such Subsidiary in respect of which such Letter of Credit is to be issued, (ii) the Borrower’s proposal as to the conditions under which a drawing may be made under such Letter of Credit and the documentation to be required in respect thereof, (iii) the maximum amount to be available under
such Letter of Credit, and (iv) the requested dates of issuance and expiration. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Reimbursement Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Upon receipt of such Letter of Credit Request from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Issuing Bank and each other Lender thereof. Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank, with such provisions with respect to the conditions under which a drawing may be made thereunder and the documentation required in respect of such drawing as the Issuing Bank shall reasonably require. Each Letter of Credit shall be used solely for the purposes described therein. The Issuing Bank shall, on the proposed date of issuance and subject to the terms and conditions of the Reimbursement Agreement, if any, and to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit.
(c)Each payment by the Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under a Letter of Credit shall give rise to an obligation on the part of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank by 3:00 p.m. New York City time two Business Days after the date of such payment together with interest on the amount of such payment from the date such payment was made by the Issuing Bank; provided that, if the amount of the draft drawn under such Letter of Credit is not less than $1,000,000, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.13 that such payment be financed with an ABR Loan in an equivalent amount of such draft drawn under such Letter of Credit and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Loan.
Section 2.10 Letter of Credit Participation and Funding Commitments
(a)Each Lender hereby unconditionally, irrevocably and severally (and not jointly) for itself only and without any notice to or the taking of any action by such Lender, takes an undivided participating interest in the obligations of the Issuing Bank under and in connection with each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit. Each Lender shall be liable to the Issuing Bank for its Commitment Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any draft drawn and honored under each Letter of Credit. Each Lender shall also be liable for an amount equal to the product of its Commitment Percentage and any amounts paid by the Borrower that are subsequently rescinded or avoided, or must otherwise be restored or returned. Such liabilities shall be unconditional and without regard to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or the compliance by the Borrower with any of its obligations under the Loan Documents, including after the Commitment Termination Date.
(b)The Issuing Bank will, within the time allowed by applicable law or the specific terms of the Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender (which notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing) of the date and the amount of any draft presented under any Letter of Credit with respect to which full reimbursement of payment is not made by the Borrower as provided in Section 2.09(c), and forthwith upon receipt of such notice, such Lender (other than the Issuing Bank in its capacity as a Lender) shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank its Commitment Percentage of the amount of such unreimbursed draft at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 10.01, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds, before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day such notice was given by the Administrative Agent, if the relevant notice was given by the Administrative Agent at or prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day, and before 12:00 noon, New York City
time, on the next Business Day, if the relevant notice was given by the Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day. The Administrative Agent shall distribute the payments made by each Lender (other than the Issuing Bank in its capacity as a Lender) pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence to the Issuing Bank promptly upon receipt thereof in like funds as received. In the event the Administrative Agent has not in fact made available to the Issuing Bank such payment within one Business Day of the receipt thereof, then the Administrative Agent agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank forthwith on demand such payment with interest thereon for each day, from and including the second Business Day after such payment was received by the Administrative Agent but excluding the date of payment by the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank from and against any and all losses, liabilities (including liabilities for penalties), actions, suits, judgments, demands, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel to the Issuing Bank as the issuer of the relevant Letter of Credit) resulting from any failure on the part of such Lender to provide, or from any delay in providing, the Administrative Agent with such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit in accordance with this subsection (b) (except in respect of losses, liabilities or other obligations suffered by the Issuing Bank resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank). If a Lender does not make available to the Administrative Agent when due such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any unreimbursed payment made by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit (other than payments made by the Issuing Bank by reason of its gross negligence or willful misconduct), such Lender shall be required to pay interest to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank on such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such payment at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for the first three days after the due date of such payment until the date such payment is received by the Administrative Agent and the Federal Funds Rate plus 2% thereafter.
(c)Whenever the Administrative Agent is reimbursed by the Borrower, for the account of the Issuing Bank, for any payment under a Letter of Credit and such payment relates to an amount previously paid by a Lender in respect of its Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment under such Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent (or the Issuing Bank, to the extent that the Administrative Agent has paid the same to the Issuing Bank) will pay over such payment to such Lender before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day such payment from the Borrower is received, if such payment is received at or prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day, or before 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day, if such payment from the Borrower is received after 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day.
Section 2.11 Absolute Obligation With Respect to Letter of Credit Payments; Cash Collateral; Replacement of Issuing Bank
(a)The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank in respect of a Letter of Credit for each payment under or in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, as issuer of such Letter of Credit, any Lender or any other Person, including, without limitation, (i) any defense based on the failure of any drawing to conform to the terms of such Letter of Credit, (ii) any drawing document proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any
respect, (iii) the legality, validity, regularity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit or this Agreement, (iv) any payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentment of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (v) any other event or circumstance that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder; provided, that, with respect to any Letter of Credit, the foregoing shall not relieve the Issuing Bank of any liability it may have to the Borrower for any actual damages sustained by the Borrower arising from a wrongful payment under such Letter of Credit made as a result of the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(b)If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Borrower shall within one Business Day from the time it receives a demand therefor from the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article 8, deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure as of such date. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Reimbursement Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. The Administrative Agent shall invest such deposits in Permitted Investments and interest or profits on such investments shall accumulate in such account. The moneys in such account shall (i) automatically be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for Reimbursement Obligations, and (ii) be held for the satisfaction of the Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower.
(c)(A) The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank, it being understood and agreed that such parties shall not unreasonably delay or withhold their consent to any such agreement. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.03(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or extend or otherwise amend any existing Letter of Credit.
(B) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, the Issuing Bank may resign as the Issuing Bank at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, the resigning Issuing Bank shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.11(c)(A) above.
Section 2.12 Defaulting Lenders
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a)fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.03(a);
(b)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 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08 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 the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with this Section; fourth, as the Borrower 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 the Borrower, 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 future Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with this Section; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; 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 disbursements in respect of a Letter of Credits 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 disbursements in respect of a Letter of Credit owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or disbursements in respect of a Letter of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Commitments without giving effect to clause (d) below. 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 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto;
(c)the Commitments and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, modification or waiver pursuant to Section 10.02); provided that, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.02, (i) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (ii) any amendment or modification that increases, or extends the
maturity of, such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment or reduces the principal amount of, or rate of interest on, any Loan made by such Defaulting Lender, shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;
(d)if any Swingline Exposure or Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i)all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and such Letter of Credit Exposure (other than, in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is the Swingline Lender, the portion of such Swingline Exposure referred to in clause (b) in the definition of such term) shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 are satisfied at such time;
(ii)if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within two (2) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.11(b) for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding;
(iii)if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.12(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.03(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized;
(iv)if the Letter of Credit Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.12(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 3.03(a) and 3.03(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; or
(v)if any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.12(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 3.03(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; and
(e)if and so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.12(d), and participating interests in any such newly made Swingline Loan or newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.12(d)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).
In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitments and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, and all cash collateral and accrued interest thereon held by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank shall be returned to the Borrower forthwith.
Section 2.13 Swingline Loans.
(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender may in its sole discretion make Swingline Loans in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $17,500,000, the Swingline Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding its Commitment or (iii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the Aggregate Revolving Commitments; 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, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.
(b)To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request either (x) by email from (with such email request being confirmed promptly by delivery of a written Borrowing Request signed by) the President of the Borrower, a Financial Officer or the Hawaiian Electric Cash Manager or (y) by delivery of a written Borrowing Request signed by the President of the Borrower, a Financial Officer or the Hawaiian Electric Cash Manager, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to an account of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent designated for such purpose (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of a disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit as provided in Section 2.09(c), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.
(c)The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent require the Lenders to acquire participations in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, promptly upon receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent (and in any event, if such notice is received by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a Business Day, no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Business Day and if received after 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a Business Day, no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately succeeding Business Day), to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance
whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.04 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.
(d)The Swingline Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Swingline Lender and the successor Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Swingline Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid interest accrued for the account of the replaced Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Swingline Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swingline Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swingline Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of a Swingline Lender hereunder, the replaced Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to its replacement, but shall not be required to make additional Swingline Loans.
(e)Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Swingline Lender, the Swingline Lender may resign as a Swingline Lender at any time upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, such Swingline Lender shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.13(d) above.
Section 2.14 Extension of Commitment Termination Date.
(a)Requests for Extension. The Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) not earlier than 90 days and not later than 30 days prior to each anniversary of the date of this Agreement (each such anniversary date, an “Extension Date”), request that each Lender extend such Lender’s Commitment Termination Date to the date that is one year after the Commitment Termination Date then in effect for such Lender (the “Existing Commitment Termination Date”).
(b)Lender Elections to Extend. Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not later than the date that is 15 days after the date on which the Administrative Agent received the Borrower’s extension request (the “Lender Notice Date”), advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension (each Lender that determines to so extend its Commitment Termination Date, an “Extending Lender”). Each Lender that determines not to so extend its Commitment Termination 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 Lender Notice Date), and any Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Lender 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, and it is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any request made by the Borrower for extension of the Commitment Termination Date.
(c)Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of each Lender’s determination under this Section no later than the date that is 15 days prior to the applicable Extension Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day).
(d)Additional Commitment Lenders. The Borrower shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, on or before the applicable Commitment Termination Date for any Non- Extending Lender to replace such Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more financial institutions that each qualify as an Eligible Assignee (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) approved by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the procedures provided in Section 3.08(b), each of which Additional Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Acceptance (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04, with the Borrower or replacement Lender obligated to pay any applicable processing or recordation fee) with such Non-Extending Lender, pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lenders shall, effective on or before the applicable Commitment Termination Date for such Non-Extending Lender, assume 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). The Administrative Agent may effect such amendments to this Agreement as are reasonably necessary to provide for any such extensions with the consent of the Borrower but without the consent of any other Lenders.
(e)Minimum Extension Requirement. If (and only if) the total of the Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed to extend their Commitment Termination Date and the new or increased Commitments of any Additional Commitment Lenders is more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect immediately prior to the applicable Extension Date, then, effective as of the applicable Extension Date, the Commitment Termination Date of each Extending Lender and of each Additional Commitment Lender shall be extended to the date that is one year after the Existing Commitment Termination Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Commitment Termination 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 and shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Lender hereunder and shall have the obligations of a Lender hereunder.
(f)Conditions to Effectiveness of Extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) no more than two (2) extensions of the Commitment Termination Date shall be permitted hereunder
and (y) any extension of any Commitment Termination Date pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not be effective with respect to any Extending Lender unless:
(i)no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the applicable Extension Date and immediately after giving effect thereto;
(ii)the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the applicable Extension Date and after giving effect thereto, except to the extent such representations and warranties relate to any earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date; and
(iii)the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate from the Borrower signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower (A) certifying the accuracy of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) and (B) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such extension.
(g)Commitment Termination Date for Non-Extending Lenders. On the Commitment Termination Date of each Non-Extending Lender, (i) the Commitment of each Non- Extending Lender shall automatically terminate and (ii) the Borrower shall repay such Non- Extending Lender in accordance with Section 2.06 (and shall pay to such Non-Extending Lender all of the other obligations owing to it under this Agreement) and after giving effect thereto shall prepay any Revolving Loans outstanding on such date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.06) to the extent necessary to keep outstanding Revolving Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages of the respective Lenders effective as of such date, and the Administrative Agent shall administer any necessary reallocation of the Revolving Credit Exposures (without regard to any minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and/or pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement).
(h)Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section or Section 10.02 to the contrary.

(a)ABR Loans (including each Swingline Loan) and unpaid Reimbursement Obligations shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
(b)Eurodollar Borrowings shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.
(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of and interest on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due and after the expiration of any applicable grace period, then all such amounts shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of principal of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan or Reimbursement Obligation as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section, or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the Alternate Base Rate.
(d)Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan before the end of the Availability Period), and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(e)All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime 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) in the period in question. The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and such determination shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable error.
Section 3.02 Interest Elections
(a)Any Borrowing on the Effective Date shall be of ABR Loans. Thereafter, each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably (subject to the provisions of Section 2.12) among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.
(b)To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election either (x) by email from (with such email request being confirmed promptly by delivery of a written Interest Election Request signed by) the President of the Borrower, a Financial Officer or the Hawaiian Electric Cash Manager or (y) by delivery of a written Interest Election Request signed by the President of the Borrower, a Financial Officer or the Hawaiian Electric Cash Manager, by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.04.
(c)Each 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 an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and
(iv)if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(d)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)If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR 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 the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued beyond the current Interest Period as a Eurodollar Borrowing, and unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
Section 3.03 Fees
(a)The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, a commitment fee, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on the average daily amount of the unused Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the date on which this Agreement shall have become effective in accordance with Section 10.06 to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates (the “Commitment Fee”). For purposes of calculating the Commitment Fee, Swingline Exposure shall not be considered usage of the Revolving Commitment of any Lender. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of January, April, July and October of each year and on the Commitment Termination Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof.
(b)The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) with respect to each Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears during the period from and including the date of issuance thereof to and including the expiration or cancellation date thereof (a) on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October of each year, (b) upon such expiration or cancellation date and (c) on the Commitment Termination Date, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on Eurodollar Borrowings on the average daily amount of the Letter of Credit Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed Reimbursement Obligations). The Borrower also agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the Letter of Credit Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed Reimbursement Obligations) attributable to Letters of
Credit issued by the Issuing Bank 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 Letter of Credit Exposure, payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of January, April, July and October of each year, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees and commissions with respect to the issuance, amendment, cancellation, negotiation, transfer, presentment or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. The Letter of Credit Fee and the fronting fees described above shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) during the period in question on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable.
(c)The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees and other amounts payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
(d)All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) during the period in question
(e)All fees and other amounts payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of Commitment Fees, to the Lenders. Fees and other amounts paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances other than clearly demonstrable error.
Section 3.04 Alternate Rate of Interest
(a)Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 3.04, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:
(i)the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent clearly demonstrable error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable (including because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period; provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time; or
(ii)the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile transmission as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower 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 Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower shall have submitted a Borrowing Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing and the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower in accordance with the preceding sentence that such Borrowing will be made as an ABR Borrowing, the Borrower shall have the right, prior to the time by which it would have had to submit a Borrowing Request for an ABR Borrowing to be made on the same date, to withdraw such Borrowing Request.
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, this clause (c) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after a Term SOFR Transition Event and may do so in its sole discretion.
(d)In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(e)The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.04, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.04.
(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or the LIBO Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(g)Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Alternate Base Rate.
Section 3.05 Increased Costs; Illegality
(a)If any Change in Law shall:
(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Credit Party (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate);
(ii)impose on any Credit Party or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement, any Eurodollar Loans made by such Credit Party or any participation therein; or
(iii)subject the Administrative Agent or any Credit Party to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent or such Credit Party of making, continuing, converting or maintaining any Loan hereunder (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent or such Credit Party hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will, upon request by the Administrative Agent or such Credit Party, pay to the Administrative
Agent or such Credit Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent or such Credit Party for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)If any Credit Party determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Credit Party’s capital or on the capital of such Credit Party’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Credit Party to a level below that which such Credit Party or such Credit Party’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Credit Party’s policies and the policies of such Credit Party’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Credit Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Credit Party or such Credit Party’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)A certificate of a Credit Party setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Credit Party or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section including reasonably detailed supporting information shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be binding on the Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error, it being understood that the Borrower’s obligations payable to any Credit Party pursuant to this clause (c) will be reasonably determined by such Credit Party (which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of such Credit Party under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 3.05 after consideration of such factors as such Credit Party then reasonably determines to be relevant). The Borrower shall pay such Credit Party the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof unless the Borrower is asserting in good faith that there is clearly demonstrable error in such certificate.
(d)Failure or delay on the part of any Credit Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Credit Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Credit Party pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Credit Party notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Credit Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof but not to exceed a period of 365 days.
(e)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the date of this Agreement, any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:
(i)such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans), whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing, as applicable, for an additional Interest Period shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as applicable), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and
(ii)such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans, as of the effective date of such notice as provided in the last sentence of this paragraph.
In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) of this paragraph, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans, as applicable. For purposes of this paragraph, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.
Section 3.06 Break Funding Payments
In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment (voluntary or otherwise) of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be binding on the Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof unless there is clearly demonstrable error in any such certificate.
Section 3.07 Taxes
(a)Except as required by applicable law, any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder and under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, provided that, if the Withholding Agent is required by applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable Withholding Agent) to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, 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 applicable Credit Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)In addition (but without duplication) the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c)The Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by such Credit Party on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under the Loan Documents (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Credit Party, any penalties, interest and reasonable out-of-pocket 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 a Credit Party, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Credit Party, including, if available, reasonably detailed supporting information, shall be delivered to and be binding on the Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error. If any Credit Party receives a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes for which such Credit Party has received payment from the Borrower hereunder, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of such refund and shall promptly upon receipt repay such refund to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Credit Party and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority, if applicable); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Credit Party, agrees to return such refund (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Credit Party in the event such Credit Party is required to repay such refund. Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit the Borrower from contesting or seeking a refund of any Indemnified Taxes after payment thereof has been made in accordance with this Section and each Credit Party shall take such steps as the Borrower shall reasonably request to assist the Borrower in contesting or seeking a refund of any Indemnified Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (c), in no event will any Credit Party be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (c) the payment of which would place such Credit Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Credit 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 Section shall not be construed to require any Credit Party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to either the Borrower or any other Person.
(d)As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower 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.
(e)Each Credit Party shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Credit Party (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Credit Party’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(g) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Credit Party, 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 Credit Party by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. Each Credit Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Credit Party under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Credit Party from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
(f)(i) Any Credit Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Credit Party, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Credit Party 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 3.07(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Credit Party’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Credit Party to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Credit Party.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A)any Credit Party that is a “United States” Person under the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Credit Party becomes a Credit Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), an executed copy of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Credit Party is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower 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 Credit Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)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, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, 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 or IRS Form W- 8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2)an executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3)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 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of

Section 3.08 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders
(a)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.05, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.07, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to
designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans (or any participation therein) 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 3.05 or 3.07, as applicable, in the future, and would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.05, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.07, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that under Section 10.02 requires the consent of all the Lenders and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign, and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and each other Loan Document to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations; provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consents of the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent, which consents shall not unreasonably be delayed or withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.05 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.07, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from the failure to provide a consent, the assignee shall have given such consent and, as a result of such assignment and any contemporaneous assignments and consents, the applicable amendment, waiver, discharge or termination can be effected. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that (i) an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants), and (ii) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender, provided that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

ARTICLE 9. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Section 9.01 Appointment
Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article 9 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank), and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” as used herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any 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 independent contracting parties.
Section 9.02 Individual Capacity
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 such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Credit Parties as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Credit Parties as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of Default” or a “notice of an Event of Default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Credit Party (and, promptly after its receipt of any such notice, it shall give each Credit Party and the Borrower notice thereof). Further, 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 any 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 or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness hereof or thereof or any other agreement, instrument or other document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf, or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent, or its counsel.
Section 9.04 Reliance 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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent 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 be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be internal or external counsel for the Borrower), 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 9.05 Performance of Duties
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent, provided that no such delegation shall serve as a release of the Administrative Agent or waiver by the Borrower of any rights hereunder. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs 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 credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
Section 9.06 Resignation; Successors
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Credit Parties and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent shall, in consultation with the Borrower, on behalf of the Credit Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. 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 Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 it was acting as Administrative Agent.
Section 9.07 Acknowledgements of Credit Parties
(a)Each Lender and the Issuing Bank represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and in providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, in each case in the ordinary course of business and is making the Loans hereunder as commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument (and each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing), (iii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Lead Arranger, any Sustainability Structuring Agent or any other Lender or the Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder and (iv) it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Lead Arranger, any Sustainability Structuring Agent or any other Lender or the Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own 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. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent, any Lead Arranger or any Sustainability Structuring Agent acting in such capacities have made any assurances as to (i) whether the credit facility evidenced by this Agreement (the “Facility”) meets such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s criteria or expectations with regard to environmental impact and sustainability performance, (ii) whether any characteristics of the Facility, including the characteristics of the relevant key performance indicators to which the Borrower will link a potential margin step-up or step-down, including their environmental and sustainability criteria, meet any industry standards for sustainability-linked credit facilities and (b) each Lender and the Issuing Bank has performed its own independent investigation and analysis of the Facility and whether the Facility meets its own criteria or expectations with regard to environmental impact and/or sustainability performance.
(b)Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Acceptance or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date.
(c)
(i)Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise;
individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 9.07(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(ii)Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

Section 9.08 Agents
None of the Persons identified on the cover page of this Agreement or in the preamble to this Agreement as a “syndication agent”, “co-documentation agent”, “lead arranger”, “co-arranger”, “book manager” or “sustainability structuring agent” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability,
responsibility or duty to any other Person under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise, other than JPMCB in its capacity as Administrative Agent, JPMCB in its capacity as Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, and each Lender in its capacity as a Lender. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Person but such Persons shall have the benefit of the provisions of Section 9.02.
Section 9.09 Posting of Communications
(a)The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank by posting the Communications on IntraLinks™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).
(b)Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.
(c)THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. 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 THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LEAD ARRANGER, ANY SUSTAINABILITY STRUCTURING AGENT OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER, THE ISSUING BANK 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 ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.
(d)Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.
(e)Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.
(f)Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

Section 10.02 Waivers; Amendments
(a)No failure or delay by any Credit Party in exercising any right or power under any Loan Document 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 Credit Parties under the Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower 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 shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b)Except as provided in Section 3.04(b), Section 3.04(c) and Section 3.04(d), neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower 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 Obligations, or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than (x) the imposition of additional interest under Section 3.01(c) and (y) for the avoidance of doubt pursuant to the provisions of the penultimate paragraph of Schedule 1.02), or reduce any fees or other amounts payable under the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,
(iii)postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees or other amounts payable under the Loan Documents, 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 Credit Party directly affected thereby,
(iv)change any provision hereof in a manner that would alter the ratable reduction of Revolving Commitments or the pro rata sharing of payments required by any Loan Document, without the written consent of each Credit Party,
(v)change the payment waterfall provisions of Section 2.12(b) without the written consent of each Credit Party, or
(vi)change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “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 (A) the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent,
(B)the Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Issuing Bank and (C) the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Swingline Lender (it being understood that any change to Section 2.12 shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender); and provided further that no such agreement shall amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.09, Section 2.10 or Section 2.11 without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement shall be required of any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first proviso of this paragraph and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be directly affected by such amendment, waiver or other modification.
(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (x) to add one or more credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents with the Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and Lenders.
(d)If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender directly affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) an Eligible Assignee shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other obligations due to the Non- Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 10.04,
(ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non- Consenting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 3.05 and 3.07, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 3.06 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender and (iii) such Non- Consenting Lender shall have received the outstanding principal amount of its Loans and participations in disbursements in respect of Letters of Credit. Each party hereto agrees that (i) an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants), and (ii) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender, provided that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.
(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency.
Section 10.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver
(a)The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of any Loan Document (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Credit Party, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the Administrative Agent and a single counsel for the other Credit Parties, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its

(ii)any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower or its equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other third Person and 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 (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of (or a breach in bad faith by such Indemnitee of its express obligations under any Loan Document) such Indemnitee, (B) arise out of a claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnitee for a breach which is finally determined by a final and nonappealable judgment to have constituted a bad faith breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations under this Agreement or (C) relate to Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.
(c)To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Sustainability Structuring Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each, an “Agent-Related Person”), as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (it being understood that the Borrower’s failure to pay any such amount shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof); provided that the unreimbursed expense or Liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent-Related Person in its capacity as such.
(d)To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto agrees that it will not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Sustainability Structuring Agents (and their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, and employees of each such person and such person’s affiliates (each such person, and including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, a “Lender-Related Person”)) or the Borrower, as the case may be, (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet) (except, in the case of a claim against a Lender-Related Person, to the extent of direct or actual damages as are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender-
Related Person) or (ii) 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, any Loan Document or any agreement, instrument or other document contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions or any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Borrower’s indemnification obligations to Indemnitees in respect of claims made by third parties as set forth in Section 10.03(b).
(e)All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly, but in any event no later than 30 days, after written demand therefor, accompanied by proper supporting documentation, and without prejudice to the Borrower’s right to contest the amount or the validity of any claim for payment.

(a)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 the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Credit Party (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent 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 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each Credit Party) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of any Loan Document.
(b)Each Lender may, and, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if demanded by the Borrower pursuant to 3.08(b) upon at least five Business Days’ notice to such Lender, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent will, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Loans (including, for the purposes of this Section 10.04(b), participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans) owing to it and the Note held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any or all facilities (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or an Approved Fund of any Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Commitments being assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing under clause (a), clause (i) or clause (j) of Article 8 or unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof)),

(c)Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, hereunder and (ii) the Lender or the Issuing Bank assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Sections 3.05, 3.07 and 10.03 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall cease to be a party hereto).
(d)By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Credit Party assignor thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Credit Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability,
genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Credit Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any arranger of the credit facilities evidenced by this Agreement, such assigning Credit Party or any other Credit Party and their respective Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes each Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be.
(e)The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.01 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Credit Parties and their Commitments under each facility of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing under each facility to, each Credit Party from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent clearly demonstrable error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Credit Party hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(f)Upon its receipt of (x) an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Credit Party and an assignee or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Acceptance are participants, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. In the case of any assignment by a Lender, within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note a new Note to such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it under each facility pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender has retained a Commitment hereunder under such facility, a new Note to such assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto.
(g)Each Credit Party may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Reimbursement Obligations and Swingline Loans) owing to it and the Note (if any) held by it); provided, however, that
(i) such Credit Party’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Credit Party shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Credit Party shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Credit Party in connection with such Credit Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Borrowings or Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Borrowings or Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 and 10.03 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 a Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.07 unless such Participant agrees to comply with Section 3.07 as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.07(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)). Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.08(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.08(c) and Section 10.12 as though it were a Lender. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.05 or 3.07 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant. Each Credit Party that sells a participation 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 no Credit Party 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 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, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or Section 1.163-5(b) of the Proposed United States Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Credit Party 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(h)Any Credit Party may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Credit Party by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided, however, that, prior to any such
disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential Information received by it from such Credit Party in accordance with Section 10.12 to the same extent as if it were a Credit Party.
(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
Section 10.05 Survival
All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of any Loan Document and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or 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 the Loan Documents is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 and 10.03 and Article 9 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
Section 10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution
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 and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank constitute the entire contract 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. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date, 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 of (x) this Agreement, (y) any other Loan Document and/or (z) any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any notice delivered pursuant to Section 10.01), certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and/or thereby (each an “Ancillary Document”) that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf, or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, such other Loan Document or such Ancillary Document, as applicable. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by telecopy, emailed pdf, or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative
Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic Signature and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby (i) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Borrower, Electronic Signatures transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf, or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page and/or any electronic images of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (ii) agrees that the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders may, at its option, create one or more copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document (and all such electronic records shall be considered an original for all purposes and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), (iii) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document and/or such Ancillary Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto and (iv) waives any claim against any Lender-Related Person for any Liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions by telecopy, emailed pdf, or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page, including any Liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Borrower to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.
Section 10.07 Severability
In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
Section 10.08 Right of Setoff
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by it to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by it, irrespective of whether or not it shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that it may have. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees to notify the
Borrower 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.
Section 10.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process
(a)This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflict of laws.
(b)Each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, notwithstanding the governing law provisions of any applicable Loan Document, any claims brought against the Administrative Agent by any Lender relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the consummation or administration of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.
(c)Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan (or if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan), and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may (and any such claims, cross-claims or third party claims brought against the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties may only) be heard and determined in such Federal (to the extent permitted by law) or New York State court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(d)Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (c) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(e)Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
Section 10.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
Section 10.11 Headings
Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
Section 10.12 Confidentiality
Each of the Credit Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below) and not to use Information in violation of law, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, provided that each such Person agrees to maintain the confidentiality of such information on the terms set forth in this Section, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or, (ii) becomes available to such Credit Party on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower and without breach of this Agreement; provided, however, that, unless prohibited by applicable law, a Credit Party will provide prior notice to the Borrower of such Credit Party’s intention to disclose Information pursuant to clause (c) above or to disclose Information pursuant to clause (e) above in connection with any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, including, without limitation, information received from the Borrower or any of its Related Parties pursuant to Section 6.01(f), 6.02 and 6.06 of this Agreement, other than any such information that is available to any Credit Party on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower and other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING PARAGRAPH FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING
THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.
Section 10.13 Interest Rate Limitation
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “maximum rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all of the charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the maximum rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and the charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated, and the interest and the charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the maximum rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
Section 10.14 No Third Parties Benefited
This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall have any obligation to any Person not a party to this Agreement or other Loan Documents.
Section 10.15 USA PATRIOT Act and Beneficial Ownership Regulation Notice
Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “PATRIOT Act”) and the requirements of the Beneficial Ownership Regulation hereby notifies the Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name, address and tax identification number of the Borrower and other information that will allow the Administrative Agent and such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT Act and, to the extent the Borrower qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation and is not exempt therefrom, the Beneficial Ownership Regulation and other applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations.
Section 10.16 No Fiduciary Duty
(a)The Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that no Credit Party will have any obligations except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and each Credit Party is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Borrower with respect to the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated herein and therein and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Borrower or any other person. The Borrower agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Credit Party based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Credit Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Additionally, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Credit Party is advising the Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. The Borrower shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated herein or in the other Loan Documents, and the Credit Parties shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrower with respect thereto.
(b)The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party, together with its Affiliates, is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, any Credit Party may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and other companies with which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have commercial or other relationships. With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Credit Party or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion.
(c)In addition, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party and its Affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. No Credit Party will use confidential information obtained from the Borrower by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships with the Borrower in connection with the performance by such Credit Party of services for other companies, and no Credit Party will furnish any such information to other companies. The Borrower also acknowledges that no Credit Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, confidential information obtained from other companies.
Section 10.17 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In Action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b)the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
Section 10.18 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties
with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent thereunder, are currently party to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2017 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”).

WHEREAS, it is the intent of the parties hereto that this Agreement not constitute a novation of the obligations and liabilities of the parties under the Existing Credit Agreement or be deemed to evidence or constitute full repayment of such obligations and liabilities, but that this Agreement amend and restate in its entirety the Existing Credit Agreement and re-evidence the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower outstanding thereunder, which shall be payable in accordance with the terms hereof.
WHEREAS, it is also the intent of the Borrower to confirm that all obligations under the applicable “Loan Documents” (as referred to and defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall continue in full force and effect as modified or restated by the Loan Documents (as referred to and defined herein) and that, from and after the Effective Date, all references to the “Credit Agreement” contained in any such existing “Loan Documents” shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree that the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
ARTICLE 1. DEFINITIONS
Section 1.01 Defined Terms
As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings specified below:
“ABR Loan” or “ABR Borrowing”, when used in reference to any Loan or Borrowing, refers to such Loan, or the Loans comprising such Borrowing, bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate.
“Additional Commitment Lender” is defined in Section 2.14(d).
“Adjusted LIBO Rate” means, with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to (a) the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rate.
“Administrative Agent” means JPMCB, in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders hereunder, or any successor thereto in such capacity.
“Administrative Questionnaire” means an Administrative Questionnaire in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent.
“Affected Financial Institution” means (a) any EEA Financial Institution or (b) any UK Financial Institution.
“Affiliate” means, with respect to a specified Person, another Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Person specified.
“Agent-Related Person” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 10.03(c).
“Agreement” has the meaning assigned to such term in the introductory paragraph.
“Aggregate Credit Exposure” means, at any time, the sum at such time of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans of all Lenders, plus (b) the Aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure, plus (c) the Swingline Exposure.
“Aggregate Letter of Credit Commitments” means, at any time, the sum at such time of the Letter of Credit Commitments of all Lenders.
“Aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure” means, at any time, the sum at such time of the Letter of Credit Exposure of all of the Lenders.
“Aggregate Revolving Commitments” means, at any time, the sum at such time of the Revolving Commitments of all Lenders. The initial amount of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments is $200,000,000.
“Alternate Base Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the sum of NYFRB Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1% per annum and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1% per annum, provided that for the purpose of this definition, the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any day shall be based on the LIBO Rate (or if the LIBO Rate if not available for such one month Interest Period, the Interpolated Rate) at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on such day. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, respectively. If the Alternate Base Rate is being used as an alternate rate of interest pursuant to Section 3.04 (for the avoidance of doubt, only until the Benchmark Replacement has been determined pursuant to Section 3.04(b)), then the Alternate Base Rate shall be the greater of clauses (a) and (b) above and shall be determined without reference to clause (c) above. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Alternate Base Rate as determined pursuant to the foregoing would be less than 1.00%, such rate shall be deemed to be 1.00% for purposes of this Agreement.
“Ancillary Document” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 10.06.
“Anti-Corruption Laws” means all laws, rules, and regulations of any jurisdiction applicable to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries from time to time concerning or relating to bribery or corruption.

For purposes hereof:
(A) when the Borrower has Issuer Ratings from all three of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch: (i) if two or three of the three Issuer Ratings are in the same Pricing Level, such Pricing Level shall apply and (ii) if each of the three Issuer Ratings are in different Pricing Levels, the Issuer Ratings corresponding to the highest and the lowest Pricing Levels shall be disregarded and the Pricing Level shall be determined by reference to the Pricing Level which corresponds to the remaining Issuer Rating;
(B) when the Borrower has Issuer Ratings from only two of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch: (i) if both of the two Issuer Ratings are in the same Pricing Level, such Pricing Level shall apply and (ii) if the two Issuer Ratings are split-rated (x) by one Pricing Level, the Pricing Level shall be determined by the higher of the two (e.g., an Issuer Rating of BBB-/Baa2 results in Pricing Level III) or (y) by more than one Pricing Level, the Pricing Level shall be determined by the Pricing Level one below the Pricing Level which corresponds to the higher Issuer Rating (e.g., an Issuer Rating of BBB-/Baa1 results in Pricing Level III and an Issuer Rating of BBB+/Baa3 results in Pricing Level III);
(C) when the Borrower has an Issuer Rating from only one of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch: the Pricing Level shall be determined by reference to the Pricing Level immediately below the Pricing Level which corresponds to the one Issuer Rating in effect (provided that if the one Issuer Rating in effect corresponds to Pricing Level V, then Pricing Level V shall apply); and
(D) when the Borrower does not have an Issuer Rating from any of S&P, Moody’s or Fitch: Pricing Level V shall apply.
If the Issuer Ratings established or deemed to have been established by S&P, Moody’s and Fitch shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of S&P, Moody’s or Fitch), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency, irrespective of when notice of such change shall have been furnished by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Each change in the Applicable Margin shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of S&P, Moody’s or Fitch shall change, or if any such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Lenders) shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.
It is hereby understood and agreed that (a) the Commitment Fee shall be adjusted from time to time based upon the Sustainability Fee Adjustment (to be calculated and applied as set forth in Schedule 1.02) and (b) the Applicable Margin with respect to Eurodollar Borrowings, ABR Borrowings and Letters of Credit shall be adjusted from time to time based upon the Sustainability Margin Adjustment (to be calculated and applied as set forth in Schedule 1.02); provided that in no event shall any of the Commitment Rate, the Eurodollar Margin or the ABR Margin be less than 0.00%.
“Applicable Party” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 9.09(c)
“Applicable Percentage” means, with respect to any Lender, the percentage of the total Commitments represented by such Lender’s Commitments; provided that, in the case of Section 2.12 when a Defaulting Lender shall exist, “Applicable Percentage” shall mean the percentage of the total Commitments (disregarding any Defaulting Lender’s Commitments) represented by such Lender’s Commitments. If the Commitments have terminated or expired, the Applicable Percentages shall be determined based upon the Commitments most recently in effect, giving effect to any assignments and to any Lender’s status as a Defaulting Lender at the time of such determination.
“Approved Electronic Platform” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 9.09(a).
“Approved Fund” means, with respect to any Lender, any Person (other than a natural person) that is (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business that is administered or managed by (a) such Lender or (b) an Affiliate of such Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.
“Assignment and Acceptance” means an assignment and acceptance entered into by a Lender and an assignee (with the consent of each party whose consent is required by Section 10.04), and accepted by the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit A or any other form (including electronic records generated by the use of an electronic platform) approved by the Administrative Agent, including the forms described in the last sentence of Section 3.08(b) and Section 10.02(d) and executed by the parties described therein.
“Availability Period” means the period from and including the Effective Date to (but excluding) the Commitment Termination Date.
“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, any tenor for such Benchmark or payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, as applicable, that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to clause (f) of Section 3.04.
“Bail-In Action” means the exercise of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority in respect of any liability of an Affected Financial Institution.
“Bail-In Legislation” means, (a) with respect to any EEA Member Country implementing Article 55 of Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union, the implementing law, regulation, rule or requirement for such EEA Member Country from time to time which is described in the EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule and (b) with respect to the United Kingdom, Part I of the United Kingdom Banking Act 2009 (as amended from time to time) and any other law, regulation or rule applicable in the United Kingdom relating to the resolution of unsound or failing banks, investment firms or other financial institutions or their affiliates (other than through liquidation, administration or other insolvency proceedings).
“Bankruptcy Code” means the United States Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended.
“Benchmark” means, initially, the LIBO Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the LIBO Rate or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to clause (b) or clause (c) of Section 3.04.
“Benchmark Replacement” means, for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:
(1) the sum of: (a) Term SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;
(2) the sum of: (a) Daily Simple SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;
(3) the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;
provided that, in the case of clause (1), such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion; provided further that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Term SOFR Transition Event, and the delivery of a Term SOFR Notice, on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date the “Benchmark Replacement” shall revert to and shall be deemed to be the sum of (a) Term SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, as set forth in clause (1) of this definition (subject to the first proviso above).
If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Interest Period and Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement:
(1) for purposes of clauses (1) and (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent:
(a) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for the applicable Corresponding Tenor;
(b) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon an index cessation event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; and
(2) for purposes of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities;
provided that, in the case of clause (1) above, such adjustment is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.
“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes
to the definition of “Alternate Base Rate,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides in its reasonable discretion are generally consistent with changes made by the Administrative Agent in other syndicated credit facilities agented by it and may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is generally consistent with changes made by the Administrative Agent in other syndicated credit facilities agented by it and reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).
“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:
(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

The parties to this Agreement agree that, upon (i) the execution and delivery by each of the parties hereto of this Agreement and (ii) satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.01, the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be and hereby are amended, superseded and restated in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

All Revolving Loans made and obligations incurred under the Existing Credit Agreement which are outstanding on the Effective Date shall continue as Revolving Loans and obligations under (and, as of the Effective Date, shall be governed by the terms of) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the effectiveness hereof: (a) all references in the “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) to the “Administrative Agent”, the “Credit Agreement” and the “Loan Documents” shall be deemed to refer to the Administrative Agent, this Agreement and the Loan Documents, (b) the Existing Letters of Credit which remain outstanding on the Effective Date shall continue as Letters of Credit under (and, as of the Effective Date, shall be governed by the terms of) this Agreement, (c) all obligations of the Borrower owing to any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement which are outstanding on the Effective Date shall continue as obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (d) the Administrative Agent shall make such reallocations, sales, assignments or other relevant actions in respect of each Lender’s credit exposure under the Existing Credit Agreement as are necessary in order that each such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure and outstanding Revolving Loans hereunder reflect such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding aggregate Revolving Exposures on the Effective Date and (e) the Borrower hereby agrees to compensate each Lender for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with the sale and assignment of any Eurodollar Loans (including the “Eurodollar Loans” under the Existing Credit Agreement) and such reallocation described above, in each case on the terms and in the manner set forth in Section 3.06 hereof.
Section 1.05 Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification
The interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”). LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) publicly announced that: (a) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; (b) immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and (c) immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a changed methodology (or “synthetic”) basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Each party to this agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, Section 3.04(b) and Section 3.04(c) provide the mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 3.04(e), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent 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 LIBOR or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 3.04(b) or Section 3.04(c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 3.04(d)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.
Section 1.06 Letter of Credit Amounts
Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the amount of such Letter of Credit available to be drawn at such time; provided that, with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Letter of Credit Agreement related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the available amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum amount is available to be drawn at such time.
Section 1.07 Divisions
For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.
ARTICLE 2. THE CREDITS
Section 2.01 Commitments
Prior to the Effective Date, certain loans were previously made to the Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement which remain outstanding as of the date of this Agreement (such outstanding loans being hereinafter referred to as the “Existing Loans”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Borrower and each of the Lenders agree that on the Effective Date but subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.01 and the reallocation and other transactions described in Section 1.04, the Existing Loans shall, as of the Effective Date, be reevidenced as Revolving Loans under this Agreement and the terms of the Existing Loans shall be restated in their entirety and shall be evidenced by this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result (after giving effect to any application of proceeds of such Borrowing to any Swingline Loans outstanding pursuant to Section 2.06(a)) in (a) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment or (b) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.
Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings
(a) Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder, provided that the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Revolving Loans as required. Any Swingline Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.13.
(b) Subject to Section 3.04, each Revolving Loan shall be an ABR Loan or a Eurodollar Loan, as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith (including Section 3.02). Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan (and any ABR Loan, the interest on which is determined pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of Alternate Base Rate) by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan (and in the case of an Affiliate, the provisions of Sections 3.05, 3.06 and 3.07 shall apply to such Affiliate to the same extent as to such Lender), provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and neither such Lender nor such Affiliate shall be entitled to any amounts payable under Sections 3.05 or 3.07 solely in respect of increased costs or taxes resulting from such exercise and existing at the time of such exercise.
(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000. At the time that each ABR Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan) is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000, provided that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Revolving Commitments. Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time, provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of fifteen Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Eurodollar Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Commitment Termination Date.
Section 2.03 Requests for Borrowings
To request a Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan, requests for which are governed by Section 2.13), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request either (x) by email from (with such email request being confirmed promptly by delivery of a written Borrowing Request signed by) the President of the Borrower, a Financial Officer or the Hawaiian Electric Cash Manager or (y) by delivery of a written Borrowing Request signed by the President of the Borrower, a Financial Officer or the Hawaiian Electric Cash Manager, (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable (except as otherwise provided in Section 3.04). Each such Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;
(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;
(iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and
(v) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.04.
If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.
Section 2.04 Funding of Borrowings
(a) Each Lender shall make each Revolving Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof solely by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.13. Subject to Section 5.02, the Administrative Agent will make the proceeds of such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting or otherwise transferring the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request.
(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Revolving 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 the Borrower 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 by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, for a Eurodollar Borrowing or by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, for an ABR Borrowing on the applicable day, then such Lender and the Borrower 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 was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate that would be otherwise applicable to such Borrowing. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in such Borrowing. Such payment by the
Borrower shall be without prejudice to its rights against each Lender who fails to fund its share of any Borrowing.
Section 2.05 Termination, Reduction and Increase of Commitments
(a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments and the Letter of Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date; provided however, upon delivery to the Administrative Agent of a copy of an order or approval issued by the PUC, certified by a Financial Officer to be true and complete, which is final and not subject to review or appeal, that approves the extension of the date set forth in clause (a) of the definition of Commitment Termination Date, then the date set forth in clause (a) of the definition of Commitment Termination Date shall be automatically extended to the latest date permitted by such order or approval but in no event later than May 14, 2026.
(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments, provided that (i) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.07 and/or any concurrent cash collateralization of the Letter of Credit Exposure, (w) the amount of any Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed its Revolving Commitment, (x) the Aggregate Credit Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (y) the total Revolving Credit Exposures of all of the Lenders would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or (z) the Aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Letter of Credit Commitments, and (ii) each such reduction shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000.
(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least two 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 notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided, that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments hereunder shall be permanent but without prejudice to the rights of the Borrower under paragraph (d) below. Each reduction of the Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.
(d) Provided that immediately before and after giving effect thereto, no Default shall or would exist and be continuing and the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 have been satisfied or waived, the Borrower may at any time and from time to time, on or before the Commitment Termination Date referred to in clause (a) of the definition thereof (including after giving effect to any extension thereof pursuant to Section 2.05(a)), request any one or more of the Lenders to increase (such decision to be within the sole and absolute discretion of such Lender) its Revolving Commitment and Letter of Credit Commitment, and/or any other Eligible Assignee reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to provide a new Revolving Commitment and a new Letter of Credit Commitment, by submitting an Increase Request in the form of Exhibit F (an “Increase Request”), duly executed by the Borrower and

(ii) each such increase shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 or such amount plus an integral multiple of $1,000,000;
(iii) the Revolving Commitments shall not be increased on more than three occasions;
(iv) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents (including, without limitation, one or more opinions of counsel) consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrower to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase;

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall, to the extent not inconsistent with any entries made in any Note, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein except for clearly demonstrated error; provided, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that in the event of any inconsistency between the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) and any Lender’s records, the accounts of the Administrative Agent shall govern.
(e) The Loans of each Lender and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be evidenced by one or more Notes payable to such Lender (or its registered assigns).
Section 2.07 Prepayment of Loans
(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section.
(b) In the event of any partial reduction or termination of the Commitments, then (i) at or prior to the date of such reduction or termination, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the Aggregate Credit Exposures after giving effect thereto, and (ii) if such sum would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such reduction or termination, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction or termination, prepay Revolving Borrowings, and/or cash collateralize the Letter of Credit Exposure, in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.
(c) Mandatory Prepayments.
(i) The Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans, by an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans over the Aggregate Revolving Commitments.
(ii) Simultaneously with each reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, (1) in the event that the Aggregate Letter of Credit Commitments shall exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments as so reduced or terminated, the Aggregate Letter of Credit Commitments shall be automatically reduced, and/or the Letter of Credit Exposure shall be cash collateralized, by an amount equal to such excess, and (2) the Borrower shall prepay the Loans by an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans over the Aggregate Revolving Commitments as so reduced or terminated.
(d) Simultaneously with each prepayment of a Loan, the Borrower shall, if and to the extent required by Section 3.01(d), prepay all accrued interest on the amount prepaid through the date of prepayment.
(e) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by either (x) email notice, which may be given by the President of the Borrower, a Financial Officer or the Hawaiian Electric Cash Manager of any prepayment under Section 2.07(a) (with such email notice being confirmed promptly by delivery of a written notice in a form approved by the Administrative Agent signed by the President of the Borrower, a Financial Officer or the Hawaiian Electric Cash Manager) or (y) written notice in a form approved by the Administrative Agent signed by the President of the Borrower, a Financial Officer or the Hawaiian Electric Cash Manager (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan), not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day of the prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided, that if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments contemplated by Section 2.05(c), then such notice of prepayment may also be conditional and may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.05(c). Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a prepayment of a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing under Section 2.07(a) shall, be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest if and to the extent required by Section 3.01.
Section 2.08 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs
(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 or 10.03, or otherwise) prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff 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 at its office at 10 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois, 60603, or such other office as to which the Administrative Agent may notify the other parties hereto, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 3.03(b) (with respect to the fronting fee and other amounts payable to the Issuing Bank), 3.03(c), 3.05, 3.06, 3.07, 3.08, 10.03 and 10.04 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. In the event the Administrative Agent has not in fact made available to each Lender its share of the applicable payment within one Business Day of the receipt thereof, then the Administrative Agent agrees to pay to the applicable Lender forthwith on demand its share of such payment with interest thereon for each day, from and including the second Business Day after such payment was received by the Administrative Agent but excluding the date of payment by the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 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 of accrued interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.
(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal of Loans, interest, fees and commissions then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest, fees and commissions then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest, fees and commissions then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal of Loans then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal of Loans then due to such parties.
(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of, or interest on, any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans 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 Loans, 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 the Borrower 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 to any assignee or participant. The Borrower 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 the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Credit Parties hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to such Credit Parties the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each such Credit Party severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Credit Party 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 greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(e) If any Credit Party shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Credit Party to satisfy such Credit Party’s obligations under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
Section 2.09 Letter of Credit Sub-Facility
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing Bank, in reliance on the agreement of the other Lenders set forth in Section 2.10, may agree, but shall have no obligation, to issue standby or documentary letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”; each, individually, a “Letter of Credit”) during the Availability Period for the account of the Borrower, provided that immediately after the issuance of each Letter of Credit (i) the Letter of Credit Exposure of each Lender (whether or not the conditions for drawing under any Letter of Credit have or may be satisfied) would not exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment, (ii) the Aggregate Credit Exposure would not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and (iii) each Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure would not exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the letters of credit identified on Schedule 2.09 (the “Existing Letters of Credit”) shall be deemed to be “Letters of Credit” issued on the Effective Date for all purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Section shall have an expiration date which shall be not later than the earlier of (i) three hundred sixty-four days after the date of issuance thereof and (ii) five Business Days before the Commitment Termination Date referred to in clause (a) of the definition thereof, including any extension thereof contemplated by Section 2.05(a), provided that any Letter of Credit with a three hundred sixty-four day tenor may provide for the periodic and/or successive renewals or extensions thereof for additional periods expiring prior to the earlier to occur of (x) three hundred sixty-four days after the date of such renewal or extension and (y) date referred to in clause (ii) above. No Letter of Credit shall be issued if the Administrative Agent, or the Required Lenders by notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, shall have determined that any condition set forth in Section 5.01 or 5.02 has not been satisfied. The Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or require that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit
any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Effective Date and that the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; or (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.
(b) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued for the account of the Borrower in support of an obligation of the Borrower or a Subsidiary in favor of a beneficiary who has requested the issuance of such Letter of Credit as a condition to a transaction entered into in connection with the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s ordinary course of business. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent a Letter of Credit Request for the issuance of each Letter of Credit by 2:00 p.m. New York City time, two (2) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance. If requested by the Issuing Bank, each Letter of Credit Request shall be accompanied by the Issuing Bank’s standard application and agreement for standby or documentary letters of credit, as applicable (each, a “Reimbursement Agreement”) executed by the President of the Borrower or a Financial Officer, and shall specify (i) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and the obligations of the Borrower or such Subsidiary in respect of which such Letter of Credit is to be issued, (ii) the Borrower’s proposal as to the conditions under which a drawing may be made under such Letter of Credit and the documentation to be required in respect thereof, (iii) the maximum amount to be available under such Letter of Credit, and (iv) the requested dates of issuance and expiration. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Reimbursement Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Upon receipt of such Letter of Credit Request from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Issuing Bank and each other Lender thereof. Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank, with such provisions with respect to the conditions under which a drawing may be made thereunder and the documentation required in respect of such drawing as the Issuing Bank shall reasonably require. Each Letter of Credit shall be used solely for the purposes described therein. The Issuing Bank shall, on the proposed date of issuance and subject to the terms and conditions of the Reimbursement Agreement, if any, and to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit.
(c) Each payment by the Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under a Letter of Credit shall give rise to an obligation on the part of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank by 3:00 p.m. New York City time two Business Days after the date of such payment together with interest on the amount of such payment from the date such payment was made by the Issuing Bank; provided that, if the amount of the draft drawn under such Letter of Credit is not less than $1,000,000, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.13 that such payment be financed with an ABR Loan in an equivalent amount of such draft drawn under such Letter of Credit and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Loan.
Section 2.10 Letter of Credit Participation and Funding Commitments
(a) Each Lender hereby unconditionally, irrevocably and severally (and not jointly) for itself only and without any notice to or the taking of any action by such Lender, takes an undivided participating interest in the obligations of the Issuing Bank under and in connection with each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the
amount of such Letter of Credit. Each Lender shall be liable to the Issuing Bank for its Commitment Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any draft drawn and honored under each Letter of Credit. Each Lender shall also be liable for an amount equal to the product of its Commitment Percentage and any amounts paid by the Borrower that are subsequently rescinded or avoided, or must otherwise be restored or returned. Such liabilities shall be unconditional and without regard to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or the compliance by the Borrower with any of its obligations under the Loan Documents, including after the Commitment Termination Date.
(b) The Issuing Bank will, within the time allowed by applicable law or the specific terms of the Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender (which notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing) of the date and the amount of any draft presented under any Letter of Credit with respect to which full reimbursement of payment is not made by the Borrower as provided in Section 2.09(c), and forthwith upon receipt of such notice, such Lender (other than the Issuing Bank in its capacity as a Lender) shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank its Commitment Percentage of the amount of such unreimbursed draft at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 10.01, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds, before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day such notice was given by the Administrative Agent, if the relevant notice was given by the Administrative Agent at or prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day, and before 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the next Business Day, if the relevant notice was given by the Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day. The Administrative Agent shall distribute the payments made by each Lender (other than the Issuing Bank in its capacity as a Lender) pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence to the Issuing Bank promptly upon receipt thereof in like funds as received. In the event the Administrative Agent has not in fact made available to the Issuing Bank such payment within one Business Day of the receipt thereof, then the Administrative Agent agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank forthwith on demand such payment with interest thereon for each day, from and including the second Business Day after such payment was received by the Administrative Agent but excluding the date of payment by the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank from and against any and all losses, liabilities (including liabilities for penalties), actions, suits, judgments, demands, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel to the Issuing Bank as the issuer of the relevant Letter of Credit) resulting from any failure on the part of such Lender to provide, or from any delay in providing, the Administrative Agent with such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit in accordance with this subsection (b) (except in respect of losses, liabilities or other obligations suffered by the Issuing Bank resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank). If a Lender does not make available to the Administrative Agent when due such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any unreimbursed payment made by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit (other than payments made by the Issuing Bank by reason of its gross negligence or willful misconduct), such Lender shall be required to pay interest to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank on such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such payment at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for the first three days after the due date of such payment until the date
such payment is received by the Administrative Agent and the Federal Funds Rate plus 2% thereafter.
(c) Whenever the Administrative Agent is reimbursed by the Borrower, for the account of the Issuing Bank, for any payment under a Letter of Credit and such payment relates to an amount previously paid by a Lender in respect of its Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment under such Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent (or the Issuing Bank, to the extent that the Administrative Agent has paid the same to the Issuing Bank) will pay over such payment to such Lender before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day such payment from the Borrower is received, if such payment is received at or prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day, or before 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day, if such payment from the Borrower is received after 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day.
Section 2.11 Absolute Obligation With Respect to Letter of Credit Payments; Cash Collateral; Replacement of Issuing Bank
(a) The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank in respect of a Letter of Credit for each payment under or in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, as issuer of such Letter of Credit, any Lender or any other Person, including, without limitation, (i) any defense based on the failure of any drawing to conform to the terms of such Letter of Credit, (ii) any drawing document proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect, (iii) the legality, validity, regularity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit or this Agreement, (iv) any payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentment of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (v) any other event or circumstance that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder; provided, that, with respect to any Letter of Credit, the foregoing shall not relieve the Issuing Bank of any liability it may have to the Borrower for any actual damages sustained by the Borrower arising from a wrongful payment under such Letter of Credit made as a result of the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(b) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Borrower shall within one Business Day from the time it receives a demand therefor from the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article 8, deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure as of such date. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Reimbursement Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. The Administrative Agent shall invest such deposits in Permitted Investments and interest or profits on such investments shall accumulate in such account. The moneys in such account shall (i) automatically be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for Reimbursement Obligations, and (ii) be held for the satisfaction of the Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower.
(c) (A) The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank, it being understood and agreed that such parties shall not unreasonably delay or withhold their consent to any such agreement. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.03(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or extend or otherwise amend any existing Letter of Credit.
(B) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, the Issuing Bank may resign as the Issuing Bank at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, the resigning Issuing Bank shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.11(c)(A) above.
Section 2.12 Defaulting Lenders
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.03(a);
(b) 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 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08 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 the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with this Section; fourth, as the Borrower 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 the Borrower, 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 future Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with this Section; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender against such
Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; 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 disbursements in respect of a Letter of Credits 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 disbursements in respect of a Letter of Credit owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or disbursements in respect of a Letter of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Commitments without giving effect to clause (d) below. 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 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto;
(c) the Commitments and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, modification or waiver pursuant to Section 10.02); provided that, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.02, (i) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (ii) any amendment or modification that increases, or extends the maturity of, such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment or reduces the principal amount of, or rate of interest on, any Loan made by such Defaulting Lender, shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;
(d) if any Swingline Exposure or Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i) all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and such Letter of Credit Exposure (other than, in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is the Swingline Lender, the portion of such Swingline Exposure referred to in clause (b) in the definition of such term) shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 are satisfied at such time;
(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within two (2) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit
Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.11(b) for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding;
(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.12(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.03(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized;
(iv) if the Letter of Credit Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.12(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 3.03(a) and 3.03(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; or
(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.12(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 3.03(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; and
(e) if and so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.12(d), and participating interests in any such newly made Swingline Loan or newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.12(d)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).
In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and Letter of Credit Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitments and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, and all cash collateral and accrued interest thereon held by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank shall be returned to the Borrower forthwith.
Section 2.13 Swingline Loans
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender may in its sole discretion make Swingline Loans in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $20,000,000, (ii) the Swingline Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding its Commitment or (iii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the Aggregate Revolving Commitments;
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, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.
(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request either (x) by email from (with such email request being confirmed promptly by delivery of a written Borrowing Request signed by) the President of the Borrower, a Financial Officer or the Hawaiian Electric Cash Manager or (y) by delivery of a written Borrowing Request signed by the President of the Borrower, a Financial Officer or the Hawaiian Electric Cash Manager, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to an account of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent designated for such purpose (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of a disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit as provided in Section 2.09(c), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.
(c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent require the Lenders to acquire participations in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, promptly upon receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent (and in any event, if such notice is received by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a Business Day, no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Business Day and if received after 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a Business Day, no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately succeeding Business Day), to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.04 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall
be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.
(d) The Swingline Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Swingline Lender and the successor Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Swingline Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid interest accrued for the account of the replaced Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Swingline Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swingline Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swingline Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of a Swingline Lender hereunder, the replaced Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to its replacement, but shall not be required to make additional Swingline Loans.
(e) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Swingline Lender, the Swingline Lender may resign as a Swingline Lender at any time upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, such Swingline Lender shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.13(d) above.
Section 2.14 Extension of Commitment Termination Date
(a) Requests for Extension. The Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) not earlier than 90 days and not later than 30 days prior to each anniversary of the date of this Agreement (each such anniversary date, an “Extension Date”), request that each Lender extend such Lender’s Commitment Termination Date to the date that is one year after the Commitment Termination Date then in effect for such Lender (the “Existing Commitment Termination Date”).
(b) Lender Elections to Extend. Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not later than the date that is 15 days after the date on which the Administrative Agent received the Borrower’s extension request (the “Lender Notice Date”), advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension (each Lender that determines to so extend its Commitment Termination Date, an “Extending Lender”). Each Lender that determines not to so extend its Commitment Termination 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 Lender Notice Date), and any Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Lender 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, and it is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any request made by the Borrower for extension of the Commitment Termination Date.
(c) Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of each Lender’s determination under this Section no later than the date that is 15 days prior to the applicable Extension Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day).
(d) Additional Commitment Lenders. The Borrower shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, on or before the applicable Commitment Termination Date for any Non-Extending Lender to replace such Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more financial institutions that each qualify as an Eligible Assignee (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) approved by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the procedures provided in Section 3.08(b), each of which Additional Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Acceptance (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04, with the Borrower or replacement Lender obligated to pay any applicable processing or recordation fee) with such Non-Extending Lender, pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lenders shall, effective on or before the applicable Commitment Termination Date for such Non-Extending Lender, assume 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). The Administrative Agent may effect such amendments to this Agreement as are reasonably necessary to provide for any such extensions with the consent of the Borrower but without the consent of any other Lenders.
(e) Minimum Extension Requirement. If (and only if) the total of the Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed to extend their Commitment Termination Date and the new or increased Commitments of any Additional Commitment Lenders is more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect immediately prior to the applicable Extension Date, then, effective as of the applicable Extension Date, the Commitment Termination Date of each Extending Lender and of each Additional Commitment Lender shall be extended to the date that is one year after the Existing Commitment Termination Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Commitment Termination 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 and shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Lender hereunder and shall have the obligations of a Lender hereunder.
(f) Conditions to Effectiveness of Extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) no more than two (2) extensions of the Commitment Termination Date shall be permitted hereunder and (y) any extension of any Commitment Termination Date pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not be effective with respect to any Extending Lender unless:
(i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the applicable Extension Date and immediately after giving effect thereto;
(ii) the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the applicable Extension Date and after giving effect thereto, except to the extent such representations and warranties relate to any earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date; and
(iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate from the Borrower signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower (A) certifying the accuracy of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), (B) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such extension and (C) attaching a copy of an order or approval issued by the PUC, certified to be true and complete, which is final and not subject to review or appeal, that approves the extension.
(g) Commitment Termination Date for Non-Extending Lenders. On the Commitment Termination Date of each Non-Extending Lender, (i) the Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender shall automatically terminate and (ii) the Borrower shall repay such Non-Extending Lender in accordance with Section 2.06 (and shall pay to such Non-Extending Lender all of the other obligations owing to it under this Agreement) and after giving effect thereto shall prepay any Revolving Loans outstanding on such date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.06) to the extent necessary to keep outstanding Revolving Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages of the respective Lenders effective as of such date, and the Administrative Agent shall administer any necessary reallocation of the Revolving Credit Exposures (without regard to any minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and/or pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement).
(h) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.08 or Section 10.02 to the contrary.
ARTICLE 3. INTEREST, FEES, YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.
Section 3.01 Interest
(a) ABR Loans (including each Swingline Loan) and unpaid Reimbursement Obligations shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
(b) Eurodollar Borrowings shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of and interest on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due and after the expiration of any applicable grace period, then all such amounts shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of principal of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan or Reimbursement Obligation as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section, or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the Alternate Base Rate.
(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan before the end of the Availability Period), and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime 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) in the period in question. The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and such determination shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable error.
Section 3.02 Interest Elections
(a) Any Borrowing on the Effective Date shall be of ABR Loans. Thereafter, each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably (subject to the provisions of Section 2.12) among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.
(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election either (x) by email from (with such email request being confirmed promptly by delivery of a written Interest Election Request signed by) the President of the Borrower, a Financial Officer or the Hawaiian Electric Cash Manager or (y) by delivery of a written Interest Election Request signed by the President of the Borrower, a Financial Officer or the Hawaiian Electric Cash Manager, by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.04.
(c) Each 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 an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and
(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(d) 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) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR 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 the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued beyond the current Interest Period as a Eurodollar Borrowing, and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
Section 3.03 Fees
(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, a commitment fee, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on the average daily amount of the unused Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the date on which this Agreement shall have become effective in accordance with Section 10.06 to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates (the “Commitment Fee”). For purposes of calculating the Commitment Fee, Swingline Exposure shall not be considered usage of the Revolving Commitment of any Lender. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of January, April, July and October of each year and on the Commitment Termination Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof.
(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) with respect to each Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears during the period from and including the date of issuance thereof to and including the expiration or cancellation date thereof (a) on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October of each year, (b) upon such expiration or cancellation date and (c) on the Commitment Termination Date, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on Eurodollar Borrowings on the average daily amount of the Letter of Credit Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed Reimbursement Obligations). The Borrower also agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the Letter of Credit Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed Reimbursement Obligations) attributable to Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank 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 Letter of Credit Exposure, payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of January, April, July and October of each year, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees and
commissions with respect to the issuance, amendment, cancellation, negotiation, transfer, presentment or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. The Letter of Credit Fee and the fronting fees described above shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) during the period in question on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable.
(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees and other amounts payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
(d) All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) during the period in question.
(e) All fees and other amounts payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of Commitment Fees, to the Lenders. Fees and other amounts paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances other than clearly demonstrable error.
Section 3.04 Alternate Rate of Interest
(a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 3.04, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:
(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent clearly demonstrable error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable (including because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period; provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time; or
(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile transmission as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower 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 Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower shall have submitted a Borrowing Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing and the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower in accordance with the preceding sentence that such Borrowing will be made as an ABR Borrowing, the Borrower shall have the right, prior to the time by which it would have had to submit a Borrowing Request for an ABR Borrowing to be made on the same date, to withdraw such Borrowing Request.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related
Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, this clause (c) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after a Term SOFR Transition Event and may do so in its sole discretion.
(d) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(e) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.04, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.04.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or the LIBO Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(g) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Alternate Base Rate.
Section 3.05 Increased Costs; Illegality
(a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Credit Party (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate);
(ii) impose on any Credit Party or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement, any Eurodollar Loans made by such Credit Party or any participation therein; or
(iii) subject the Administrative Agent or any Credit Party to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent or such Credit Party of making, continuing, converting or maintaining any Loan hereunder (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent or such Credit Party hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then
the Borrower will, upon request by the Administrative Agent or such Credit Party, pay to the Administrative Agent or such Credit Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent or such Credit Party for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If any Credit Party determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Credit Party’s capital or on the capital of such Credit Party’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Credit Party to a level below that which such Credit Party or such Credit Party’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Credit Party’s policies and the policies of such Credit Party’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Credit Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Credit Party or such Credit Party’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of a Credit Party setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Credit Party or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section including reasonably detailed supporting information shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be binding on the Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error, it being understood that the Borrower’s obligations payable to any Credit Party pursuant to this clause (c) will be reasonably determined by such Credit Party (which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of such Credit Party under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 3.05 after consideration of such factors as such Credit Party then reasonably determines to be relevant). The Borrower shall pay such Credit Party the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof unless the Borrower is asserting in good faith that there is clearly demonstrable error in such certificate.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Credit Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Credit Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Credit Party pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Credit Party notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Credit Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof but not to exceed a period of 365 days.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the date of this Agreement, any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:
(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans), whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing, as applicable, for an additional Interest Period shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for
an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as applicable), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and
(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans, as of the effective date of such notice as provided in the last sentence of this paragraph.
In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) of this paragraph, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans, as applicable. For purposes of this paragraph, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.
Section 3.06 Break Funding Payments
In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment (voluntary or otherwise) of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be binding on the Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof unless there is clearly demonstrable error in any such certificate.
Section 3.07 Taxes
(a) Except as required by applicable law, any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder and under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, provided that, if the Withholding Agent is required by applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable Withholding Agent) to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, 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 applicable Credit Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b) In addition (but without duplication) the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by such Credit Party on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under the Loan Documents (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Credit Party, any penalties, interest and reasonable out-of-pocket 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 a Credit Party, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Credit Party, including, if available, reasonably detailed supporting information, shall be delivered to and be binding on the Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error. If any Credit Party receives a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes for which such Credit Party has received payment from the Borrower hereunder, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of such refund and shall promptly upon receipt repay such refund to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Credit Party and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority, if applicable); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Credit Party, agrees to return such refund (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Credit Party in the event such Credit Party is required to repay such refund. Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit the Borrower from contesting or seeking a refund of any Indemnified Taxes after payment thereof has been made in accordance with this Section and each Credit Party shall take such steps as the Borrower shall reasonably request to assist the Borrower in contesting or seeking a refund of any Indemnified Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (c), in no event will any Credit Party be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (c) the payment of which would place such Credit Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Credit 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 Section shall not be construed to require any Credit Party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to either the Borrower or any other Person.
(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower 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.
(e) Each Credit Party shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Credit Party (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any
Taxes attributable to such Credit Party’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(g) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Credit Party, 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 Credit Party by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Credit Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Credit Party under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Credit Party from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
(f) (i) Any Credit Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Credit Party, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Credit Party 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 3.07(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Credit Party’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Credit Party to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Credit Party.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A) any Credit Party that is a “United States” Person under the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Credit Party becomes a Credit Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), an executed copy of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Credit Party is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower 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 Credit Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1) 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, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, 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 or IRS Form
W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2) an executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3) 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 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or
(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; 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 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 the Borrower 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 Credit Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming 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 the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if a payment made to a Credit Party under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Credit Party 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 Credit Party shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Credit Party has complied with such Credit Party’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 Credit Party 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 the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g) For purposes of this Section 3.07, the terms “Lender” and “Credit Party” both include the Issuing Bank.
Section 3.08 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders
(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.05, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.07, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans (or any participation therein) 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 3.05 or 3.07, as applicable, 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. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.05, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.07, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that under Section 10.02 requires the consent of all the Lenders and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign, and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and each other Loan Document to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations; provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consents of the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent, which consents shall not unreasonably be delayed or withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.05 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.07, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from the failure to provide a consent, the assignee shall have given such consent and, as a result of such assignment and any contemporaneous assignments and consents, the applicable amendment, waiver, discharge or termination can be effected. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that (i) an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants), and (ii) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment
to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender, provided that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

Section 6.07 Compliance with Laws
The Borrower will comply, and will cause each of its Significant Subsidiaries to comply, in all material respects, with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority, a breach of which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, except where contested in good faith and, if applicable, by proper proceedings.

ARTICLE 9. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Section 9.01 Appointment
Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article 9 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank), and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” as used herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any 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 independent contracting parties.
Section 9.02 Individual Capacity
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 such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Credit Parties as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Credit Parties as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of Default” or a “notice of an Event of Default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Credit Party (and, promptly after its receipt of any such notice, it shall give each Credit Party and the Borrower notice thereof). Further, 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 any 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 or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness hereof or thereof or any other agreement, instrument or other document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf, or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent, or its counsel.
Section 9.04 Reliance 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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent 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 be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be internal or external counsel for the Borrower), 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 9.05 Performance of Duties
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent, provided that no such delegation shall serve as a release of the Administrative Agent or waiver by the Borrower of any rights hereunder. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs 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 credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
Section 9.06 Resignation; Successors
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Credit Parties and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent shall, in consultation with the Borrower, on behalf of the Credit Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. 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 Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for the
benefit of such retiring 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 it was acting as Administrative Agent.
Section 9.07 Acknowledgements of Credit Parties
(a) Each Lender and the Issuing Bank represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and in providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, in each case in the ordinary course of business and is making the Loans hereunder as commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument (and each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing), (iii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Lead Arranger, any Sustainability Structuring Agent or any other Lender or the Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder and (iv) it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Lead Arranger, any Sustainability Structuring Agent or any other Lender or the Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own 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. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent, any Lead Arranger or any Sustainability Structuring Agent acting in such capacities have made any assurances as to (i) whether the credit facility evidenced by this Agreement (the “Facility”) meets such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s criteria or expectations with regard to environmental impact and sustainability performance, (ii) whether any characteristics of the Facility, including the characteristics of the relevant key performance indicators to which the Borrower will link a potential margin step-up or step-down, including their environmental and sustainability criteria, meet any industry standards for sustainability-linked credit facilities and (b) each Lender and the Issuing Bank has performed its own independent investigation and analysis of the Facility and whether the Facility meets its own criteria or expectations with regard to environmental impact and/or sustainability performance.
(b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Acceptance or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date.
(c)
(i) Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 9.07(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(ii) Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.
(iii) The Borrower hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower.
(iv) Each party’s obligations under this Section 9.07(c) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.
Section 9.08 Agents
None of the Persons identified on the cover page of this Agreement or in the preamble to this Agreement as a “syndication agent”, “co-documentation agent”, “lead arranger”, “co-arranger”, “book manager” or “sustainability structuring agent” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty to any other Person under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise, other than JPMCB in its capacity as Administrative Agent, JPMCB in its capacity as Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, and each Lender in its capacity as a Lender. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Person but such Persons shall have the benefit of the provisions of Section 9.02.
Section 9.09 Posting of Communications.
(a) The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank by posting the Communications on IntraLinks™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).
(b) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.
(c) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. 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 THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LEAD ARRANGER, ANY SUSTAINABILITY STRUCTURING AGENT OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER, THE ISSUING BANK 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 ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.
(d) Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.
(e) Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.
(f) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.
Section 9.10 Certain ERISA Matters.
(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and the Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,
(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such
Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or
(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.
(b) In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and the Lead Arrangers or any of their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that none of the Administrative Agent, or the Lead Arrangers or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).
(c) The Administrative Agent and each Lead Arranger hereby informs the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, this Agreement and any other Loan Documents, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments by such Lender or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Loan Documents or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent fees or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing.

Section 10.02 Waivers; Amendments
(a) No failure or delay by any Credit Party in exercising any right or power under any Loan Document 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 Credit Parties under the Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower 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 shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b) Except as provided in Section 3.04(b), Section 3.04(c) and Section 3.04(d), neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower 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 Obligations, or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than (x) the imposition of additional interest under Section 3.01(c) and (y) for the avoidance of doubt pursuant to the provisions of the penultimate paragraph of Schedule 1.02), or reduce any fees or other amounts payable under the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,
(iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees or other amounts payable under the Loan Documents, 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 Credit Party directly affected thereby,
(iv) change any provision hereof in a manner that would alter the ratable reduction of Revolving Commitments or the pro rata sharing of payments required by any Loan Document, without the written consent of each Credit Party,
(v) change the payment waterfall provisions of Section 2.12(b) without the written consent of each Credit Party, or
(vi) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “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 (A) the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, (B) the Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Issuing Bank and (C) the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Swingline Lender (it being understood that any change to Section 2.12 shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender); and provided further that no such agreement shall amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.09, Section 2.10 or Section 2.11 without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement shall be required of any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first proviso of this paragraph and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be directly affected by such amendment, waiver or other modification.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (x) to add one or more credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and Lenders.
(d) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender directly affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) an Eligible Assignee shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 10.04, (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 3.05 and 3.07, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 3.06 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender and (iii) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received the outstanding principal amount of its Loans and participations in disbursements in respect of Letters of Credit. Each party hereto agrees that (i) an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants), and (ii) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party
thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender, provided that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency.
Section 10.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver
(a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of any Loan Document (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Credit Party, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the Administrative Agent and a single counsel for the other Credit Parties, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with and during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Loans and the Letters of Credit.
(b) The Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party (and each Sustainability Structuring Agent) and each Related Party thereof (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations hereunder and thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower or its equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other third Person and 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 (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of (or a breach in bad faith by such Indemnitee of its express obligations under any Loan Document) such Indemnitee, (B) arise out of a claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnitee for a breach which is finally determined by a final and nonappealable judgment to have constituted a bad faith breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations
under this Agreement or (C) relate to Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.
(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Sustainability Structuring Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each, an “Agent-Related Person”), as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (it being understood that the Borrower’s failure to pay any such amount shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof); provided that the unreimbursed expense or Liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent-Related Person in its capacity as such.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto agrees that it will not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Sustainability Structuring Agents (and their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, and employees of each such person and such person’s affiliates (each such person, and including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, a “Lender-Related Person”)) or the Borrower, as the case may be, (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet) (except, in the case of a claim against a Lender-Related Person, to the extent of direct or actual damages as are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender-Related Person) or (ii) 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, any Loan Document or any agreement, instrument or other document contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions or any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Borrower’s indemnification obligations to Indemnitees in respect of claims made by third parties as set forth in Section 10.03(b).
(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly, but in any event no later than 30 days, after written demand therefor, accompanied by proper supporting documentation, and without prejudice to the Borrower’s right to contest the amount or the validity of any claim for payment.
Section 10.04 Successors and Assigns
(a) 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 the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Credit Party (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent 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 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each Credit Party) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of any Loan Document.
(b) Each Lender may, and, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if demanded by the Borrower pursuant to 3.08(b) upon at least five Business Days’ notice to such Lender, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent will, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Loans (including, for the purposes of this Section 10.04(b), participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans) owing to it and the Note held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any or all facilities (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or an Approved Fund of any Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Commitments being assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing under clause (a), clause (h) or clause (i) of Article 8 or unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof)), (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Class of Loans or the Commitments assigned, (iv) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or an Approved Fund of any Lender, such assignment shall be approved, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing under clause (a), clause (h) or clause (i) of Article 8 and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of effectiveness of such assignment, by the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (v) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (vi) each assignment must be approved (such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) by the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank unless the Person that is proposed is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee), (vii) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.04(b) shall be arranged by the Borrower after consultation with the Administrative Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement, (viii) no Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.04(b) unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from the Borrower or one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Borrowing owing to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, and (ix) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, (x) an Assignment and Acceptance or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the
Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Acceptance are participants, together with any Note subject to such assignment and (except in the case of any such assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such Lender) a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, however, that for each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.08, the Borrower or such assignee shall pay to the Administrative Agent the applicable processing and recordation fee. If any Assignment and Acceptance is executed by any Lender holding any Note, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such Assignment and Acceptance or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender such Note to the Administrative Agent for cancellation.
(c) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, hereunder and (ii) the Lender or the Issuing Bank assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Sections 3.05, 3.07 and 10.03 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall cease to be a party hereto).
(d) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Credit Party assignor thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Credit Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Credit Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any arranger of the credit facilities evidenced by this Agreement, such assigning Credit Party or any other Credit Party and their respective Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes each Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the
obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be.
(e) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.01 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Credit Parties and their Commitments under each facility of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing under each facility to, each Credit Party from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent clearly demonstrable error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Credit Party hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(f) Upon its receipt of (x) an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Credit Party and an assignee or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Acceptance are participants, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. In the case of any assignment by a Lender, within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note a new Note to such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it under each facility pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender has retained a Commitment hereunder under such facility, a new Note to such assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto.
(g) Each Credit Party may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Reimbursement Obligations and Swingline Loans) owing to it and the Note (if any) held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Credit Party’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Credit Party shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Credit Party shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Credit Party in connection with such Credit Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Borrowings or Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, postpone any date
fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Borrowings or Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 and 10.03 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 a Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.07 unless such Participant agrees to comply with Section 3.07 as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.07(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)). Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.08(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.08(c) and Section 10.12 as though it were a Lender. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.05 or 3.07 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant. Each Credit Party that sells a participation 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 no Credit Party 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 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, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or Section 1.163-5(b) of the Proposed United States Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Credit Party 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(h) Any Credit Party may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Credit Party by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided, however, that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential Information received by it from such Credit Party in accordance with Section 10.12 to the same extent as if it were a Credit Party.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
Section 10.05 Survival
All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of any Loan Document and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or 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 the Loan Documents is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 and 10.03 and Article 9 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
Section 10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution
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 and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank constitute the entire contract 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. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date, 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 of (x) this Agreement, (y) any other Loan Document and/or (z) any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any notice delivered pursuant to Section 10.01), certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and/or thereby (each an “Ancillary Document”) that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf, or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, such other Loan Document or such Ancillary Document, as applicable. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by telecopy, emailed pdf, or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic Signature and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby (i) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Borrower,
Electronic Signatures transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf, or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page and/or any electronic images of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (ii) agrees that the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders may, at its option, create one or more copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document (and all such electronic records shall be considered an original for all purposes and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), (iii) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document and/or such Ancillary Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto and (iv) waives any claim against any Lender-Related Person for any Liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions by telecopy, emailed pdf, or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page, including any Liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Borrower to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.
Section 10.07 Severability
In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
Section 10.08 Right of Setoff
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by it to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by it, irrespective of whether or not it shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that it may have. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrower 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.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (c) of this Section.

Each of the Credit Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below) and not to use Information in violation of law, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, provided that each such Person agrees to maintain the confidentiality of such information on the terms set forth in this Section, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or, (ii) becomes available to such Credit Party on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower and without breach of this Agreement; provided, however, that, unless prohibited by applicable law, a Credit Party will provide prior notice to the Borrower of such Credit Party’s intention to disclose Information pursuant to clause (c) above or to disclose Information pursuant to clause (e) above in connection with any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder.

ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.
Section 10.13 Interest Rate Limitation
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “maximum rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all of the charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the maximum rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and the charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated, and the interest and the charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the maximum rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
Section 10.14 No Third Parties Benefited
This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall have any obligation to any Person not a party to this Agreement or other Loan Documents.
Section 10.15 USA PATRIOT Act and Beneficial Ownership Regulation Notice
Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “PATRIOT Act”) and the requirements of the Beneficial Ownership Regulation hereby notifies the Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name, address and tax identification number of the Borrower and other information that will allow the Administrative Agent and such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT Act and, to the extent the Borrower qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation and is not exempt therefrom, the Beneficial Ownership Regulation and other applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations.
Section 10.16 No Fiduciary Duty
(a) The Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that no Credit Party will have any obligations except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and each Credit Party is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Borrower with respect to the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated herein and therein and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Borrower or any other person. The Borrower agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Credit Party based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Credit Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Additionally, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Credit Party is advising the Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. The Borrower shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated herein or in the other Loan Documents, and the Credit Parties shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrower with respect thereto.
(b) The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party, together with its Affiliates, is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, any Credit Party may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and other companies with which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have commercial or other relationships. With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Credit Party or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion.
(c) In addition, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party and its Affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. No Credit Party will use confidential information obtained from the Borrower by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships with the Borrower in connection with the performance by such Credit Party of services for other companies, and no Credit Party will furnish any such information to other companies. The Borrower also acknowledges that no Credit Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, confidential information obtained from other companies.
Section 10.17 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In Action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the
applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
Section 10.18 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
