CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Our reports, filings and other public announcements may from time to time contain statements that do not directly or exclusively relate to historical facts. Such statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can typically identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking words, such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “intend,” “assume,” “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “potential,” “plan,” “forecast” and other similar words.

All statements that are not statements of historical facts, including, but not limited to, statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements reflect our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside our control. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements include known and unknown risks. Known risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risks set forth in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, including the following risks and uncertainties:

the outcome of the non-binding, preliminary proposal made by Phillips 66 to acquire all of our issued and outstanding common units not already owned by DCP Midstream, LLC or its subsidiaries;
the disruption to economies around the world including the oil, gas and NGL industry in which we operate and the resulting adverse impact on our business, liquidity, commodity prices, workforce, third-party and counterparty effects and resulting federal, state and local actions;
the extent of changes in commodity prices and the demand for our products and services, our ability to effectively limit a portion of the adverse impact of potential changes in commodity prices through derivative financial instruments, and the potential impact of price, and of producers’ access to capital on natural gas drilling, demand for our services, and the volume of NGLs and condensate extracted;
the demand for crude oil, residue gas and NGL products;
the level and success of drilling and quality of production volumes around our assets and our ability to connect supplies to our gathering and processing systems, as well as our residue gas and NGL infrastructure;
new, additions to, and changes in, laws and regulations, particularly with regard to taxes, safety, regulatory and protection of the environment, including, but not limited to, climate change legislation, regulation of over-the-counter derivatives markets and entities, and hydraulic fracturing regulations, or the increased regulation of our industry, including additional local control over such activities, and their impact on producers and customers served by our systems;
other factors beyond our control including the increased cost of labor, contractors, services, supplies and materials due to persistent inflation;
volatility in the price of our common units and preferred units;
general economic, market and business conditions;
the amount of natural gas we gather, compress, treat, process, transport, store and sell, or the NGLs we produce, fractionate, transport, store and sell, may be reduced if the pipelines, storage and fractionation facilities to which we deliver the natural gas or NGLs are capacity constrained and cannot, or will not, accept the natural gas or NGLs or we may be required to find alternative markets and arrangements for our natural gas and NGLs;
our ability to continue the safe and reliable operation of our assets;
our ability to grow through organic growth projects, or acquisitions, and the successful integration and future performance of such assets;
our ability to access the debt and equity markets and the resulting cost of capital, which will depend on general market conditions, our financial and operating results, inflation rates, interest rates, our ability to comply with the covenants in our Credit Agreement or other credit facilities, and the indentures governing our notes, as well as our ability to maintain our credit ratings;
the creditworthiness of our customers and the counterparties to our transactions, including the impact of bankruptcies;
the amount of collateral we may be required to post from time to time in our transactions;
industry changes, including consolidations, alternative energy sources, technological advances, infrastructure constraints and changes in competition;
our ability to construct and start up facilities on budget and in a timely fashion, which is partially dependent on obtaining required construction, environmental and other permits issued by federal, state and municipal governments, or agencies thereof, the availability of specialized contractors and laborers, and the price of and demand for materials;
our ability to hire, train, and retain qualified personnel and key management to execute our business strategy;
weather, weather-related conditions and other natural phenomena, including, but not limited to, their potential impact on demand for the commodities we sell and the operation of company-owned and third party-owned infrastructure;
security threats such as terrorist attacks, and cybersecurity attacks and breaches, against, or otherwise impacting, our facilities and systems; and
our ability to obtain insurance on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, as well as the adequacy of insurance to cover our losses.

In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different time than we have described. The forward-looking statements in this report speak as of the filing date of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable securities laws.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
(unaudited)









1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

DCP Midstream, LP, with its consolidated subsidiaries, or us, we, our or the Partnership is a Delaware limited partnership formed in 2005 by DCP Midstream, LLC to own, operate, acquire and develop a diversified portfolio of complementary midstream energy assets.
Our Partnership includes our Logistics and Marketing and Gathering and Processing segments. For additional information regarding these segments, see Note 16 - Business Segments.
Our operations and activities are managed by our general partner, DCP Midstream GP, LP (the “GP LP”), which in turn is managed by its general partner, DCP Midstream GP, LLC, which we refer to as the General Partner, and which is 100% owned by DCP Midstream, LLC.

On August 17, 2022, Phillips 66 and Enbridge Inc. (“Enbridge”), through their respective subsidiaries, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) for the purpose of realigning their respective economic interests in and governance responsibilities over DCP Midstream, LP and Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC through the merger of existing joint ventures owned by Phillips 66 and Enbridge.

As part of the merger, Phillips Gas Company LLC (“PGC”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66, and Spectra DEFS Holding, LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Enbridge, as the members of DCP Midstream, LLC, the owner of the General Partner, the general partner of GP LP, the general partner of the Partnership, entered into a Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Agreement of DCP Midstream, LLC, effective on August 17, 2022 (the “Third A&R LLC Agreement”). Under the Third A&R LLC Agreement, PGC, except as otherwise provided therein, was delegated the power to control, direct and manage all activities of DCP Midstream, LLC associated with the Partnership and each of its subsidiaries, the General Partner and the GP LP, and, in each case, the businesses, activities, assets and liabilities thereof. The Third A&R LLC Agreement also delegated PGC the power to exercise DCP Midstream, LLC’s rights to appoint or remove any director of the General Partner and vote any common units representing limited partner interests of the Partnership that are owned directly or indirectly by DCP Midstream, LLC. Prior to the merger, Phillips 66 and Enbridge, through their respective subsidiaries, jointly governed DCP Midstream, LLC and its subsidiaries.

As of September 30, 2022, DCP Midstream, LLC, together with the General Partner, owned approximately 57% of the Partnership’s common units representing limited partner interests.

Common Unit Acquisition Proposal

On August 17, 2022, the Board of Directors of our General Partner (the “Board”) received a non-binding proposal from Phillips 66 to acquire all of the Partnership’s issued and outstanding publicly-held common units not already owned by DCP Midstream, LLC or its subsidiaries at a value of $34.75 per each issued and outstanding publicly-held common unit (the “Proposal”). The Board appointed the conflicts committee to review, evaluate and negotiate the Proposal. The proposed transaction is subject to a number of contingencies, including approval by the conflicts committee and the Board, the negotiation of a definitive agreement concerning the transaction, and the satisfaction of conditions to the consummation of a transaction set forth in any such definitive agreement. There can be no assurance that such definitive agreement will be executed or that any transaction will be consummated on the terms described above or at all.

Interim Financial Statements
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and all majority-owned subsidiaries where we have the ability to exercise control. Investments in greater than 20% owned affiliates that are not variable interest entities and where we do not have the ability to exercise control, and investments in less than 20% owned affiliates where we have the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method.
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes. Although these estimates are based on management's best available knowledge of current and expected future events, actual results could differ from these estimates, which may be significantly impacted by various factors, including those outside of our control, such as the impact of a sustained deterioration in commodity prices and volumes, which would negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. All intercompany balances and

DCP MIDSTREAM, LP
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
(unaudited)
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the respective interim periods. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and other information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the 2021 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

2. Update to Significant Accounting Policies
Business Combinations - We account for business combinations by recognizing assets and liabilities of an acquired business at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Any excess consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. The results of businesses acquired in business combinations are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition.
We perform valuations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and allocate the purchase price to the respective assets and liabilities. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to use significant judgment and estimates, including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of future revenue, costs and cash flows, discount rates, and selection of comparable companies.
Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
FASB ASU, 2021-08 Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers - In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, which requires application of ASC 606 "Revenue from Contractors with Customers" ("Topic 606") to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with the option to early adopt for financial statements that have not been issued. However, an entity that elects to early adopt must apply the amendments to all business combinations that occurred during the fiscal year that includes the interim period. We early adopted this ASU on August 1, 2022 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
.
4. Revenue Recognition
We disaggregate our revenue from contracts with customers by type of contract for each of our reportable segments, as we believe it best depicts the nature, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows. The following tables set forth our revenue by those categories:

We recognized $10 million of lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.We recognized no lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.


7. Acquisition

On August 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of 100 percent of the membership interests in the legal entities holding gathering and processing assets in the Permian Basin (“James Lake System”) from Woodland Midstream II. The James Lake System consists primarily of a 120MMcf/d cryogenic processing facility, gas gathering and processing assets in West Texas, and associated contracts for long-term acreage dedications from producers in the Permian region. The acquisition is complementary to our existing infrastructure in the region including our natural gas liquids assets and provides incremental natural gas gathering and processing capacity. We paid total consideration of approximately $161 million after post-closing adjustments, which was funded with cash and borrowings under our Credit Facility.

We have accounted for the James Lake System acquisition as a business combination under ASC 805 which, among other things, requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at their acquisition date fair values. The fair values determined for accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable, and most other current assets and current liabilities were equivalent to the carrying value due to their short-term nature. The estimated fair value of the acquired property, plant and equipment was determined using the cost approach. The purchase price allocation is based on estimates of fair values at the date of the acquisition. The final purchase price allocation of the acquisition date fair value of the major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at August 1, 2022 recorded to our Gathering and Processing segment is as follows:

(millions)
Assets Acquired
Accounts receivable$19 
Inventory3 
Property, plant and equipment157 
Liabilities assumed
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities18 
Total purchase price allocation$161 

The contribution of the James Lake System to our consolidated revenues and net income were $41 million and $1 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Additionally, acquisition related costs were not material during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Assuming the result of the James Lake System had been included in our operations beginning on January 1, 2021, the estimated pro forma net operating revenues of the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the nine months ended September 30, 2022 would have been approximately $10.7 billion and $12.1 billion, respectively, and pro forma net income would have been approximately $397 million and $798 million for the same periods, respectively. The pro forma summary uses estimates and assumptions based on information available at the time. Management believes the estimates and assumptions to be reasonable; however, actual results may differ significantly from this pro forma financial information. The pro forma information does not reflect any synergistic savings that might be achieved from combining the operations and is not intended to reflect the actual results that would have occurred had the companies actually been combined during the periods presented.

10. Fair Value Measurement
Valuation Hierarchy
Our fair value measurements are grouped into a three-level valuation hierarchy and are categorized in their entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows.
Level 1 — inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 — inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 — inputs are unobservable and considered significant to the fair value measurement.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the hierarchy is based upon the level of judgment involved in the most significant input in the determination of the instrument’s fair value. Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the hierarchy.
Commodity Derivative Assets and Liabilities
We enter into a variety of derivative financial instruments, which may include exchange traded instruments (such as New York Mercantile Exchange, or NYMEX, crude oil or natural gas futures) or over-the-counter, or OTC, instruments (such as natural gas contracts, crude oil or NGL swaps). The exchange traded instruments are generally executed with a highly rated broker dealer serving as the clearinghouse for individual transactions.

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
(unaudited)
Our activities expose us to varying degrees of commodity price risk. To mitigate a portion of this risk and to manage commodity price risk related primarily to owned natural gas storage and pipeline assets, we engage in natural gas asset based trading and marketing, and we may enter into natural gas and crude oil derivatives to lock in a specific margin when market conditions are favorable. A portion of this may be accomplished through the use of exchange traded derivative contracts. Such instruments are generally classified as Level 1 since the value is equal to the quoted market price of the exchange traded instrument as of our balance sheet date, and no adjustments are required. Depending upon market conditions and our strategy we may enter into exchange traded derivative positions with a significant time horizon to maturity. Although such instruments are exchange traded, market prices may only be readily observable for a portion of the duration of the instrument. In order to calculate the fair value of these instruments, readily observable market information is utilized to the extent it is available; however, in the event that readily observable market data is not available, we may interpolate or extrapolate based upon observable data. In instances where we utilize an interpolated or extrapolated value, and it is considered significant to the valuation of the contract as a whole, we would classify the instrument within Level 3.
We also engage in the business of trading energy related products and services, which exposes us to market variables and commodity price risk. We may enter into physical contracts or financial instruments with the objective of realizing a positive margin from the purchase and sale of these commodity-based instruments. We may enter into derivative instruments for NGLs or other energy related products, primarily using the OTC derivative instrument markets, which are not as active and liquid as exchange traded instruments. Market quotes for such contracts may only be available for short dated positions (up to six months), and an active market itself may not exist beyond such time horizon. Contracts entered into with a relatively short time horizon for which prices are readily observable in the OTC market are generally classified within Level 2. Contracts with a longer time horizon, for which we internally generate a forward curve to value such instruments, are generally classified within Level 3. The internally generated curve may utilize a variety of assumptions including, but not limited to, data obtained from third-party pricing services, historical and future expected relationship of NGL prices to crude oil prices, the knowledge of expected supply sources coming online, expected weather trends within certain regions of the United States, and the future expected demand for NGLs.
Each instrument is assigned to a level within the hierarchy at the end of each financial quarter depending upon the extent to which the valuation inputs are observable. Generally, an instrument will move toward a level within the hierarchy that requires a lower degree of judgment as the time to maturity approaches, and as the markets in which the asset trades will likely become more liquid and prices more readily available in the market, thus reducing the need to rely upon our internally developed assumptions. However, the level of a given instrument may change, in either direction, depending upon market conditions and the availability of market observable data.
The following table presents the financial instruments carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, by condensed consolidated balance sheet caption and by valuation hierarchy, as described above:

Quantitative Information and Fair Value Sensitivities Related to Level 3 Unobservable Inputs
We utilize the market approach to measure the fair value of our commodity contracts. The significant unobservable inputs used in this approach to fair value are longer dated price quotes. Our sensitivity to these longer dated forward curve prices are presented in the table below. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation would result in significantly different fair value measurements, depending on our short or long position in contracts.

Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of accounts receivable and accounts payable are not materially different from their carrying amounts because of the short-term nature of these instruments or the stated rates approximating market rates. Derivative instruments are carried at fair value.
We determine the fair value of our fixed-rate senior notes and junior subordinated notes based on quotes obtained from bond dealers. The carrying value of borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the Securitization Facility approximate fair value as their interest rates are based on prevailing market interest rates. We classify the fair values of our outstanding debt balances within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying value and fair value of our total debt, including current maturities, were as follows:

11. Debt
Senior Notes Redemption
On January 3, 2022, we repaid, at par, prior to maturity all $350 million of aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 4.950% Senior Notes due April 1, 2022 using borrowings under our Credit Facility and Securitization Facility.
Credit Agreement
On March 18, 2022, we amended the Credit Agreement. The amendment extended the term of the Credit Agreement from December 9, 2024 to March 18, 2027. The amendment also includes sustainability linked key performance indicators that increase or decrease the applicable margin and facility fee payable thereunder based on our safety performance relative to our peers and year-over-year change in our greenhouse gas emissions intensity rate. The Credit Agreement provides up to $1.4 billion of borrowing capacity and bears interest, as described in greater detail below, at either the term SOFR rate or the base rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin based on our credit rating.
The Credit Agreement also grants us the option to increase the revolving loan commitment by an aggregate principal amount of up to $500 million, subject to requisite lender approval. The Credit Agreement may be extended for up to two additional one-year periods subject to requisite lender approval. Loans under the Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and other general partnership purposes including acquisitions.
Our cost of borrowing under the Credit Agreement is determined by a ratings-based pricing grid. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement bears interest at either: (1) SOFR, plus an applicable margin of 1.075% based on our current credit rating, plus an adjustment of 0.10%; or (2) (a) the base rate which shall be the higher of the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or the SOFR Market Index rate plus 1.00%, plus (b) an applicable margin of 0.075% based on our current credit rating. The Credit Agreement incurs an annual facility fee of 0.175% based on our current credit rating. This fee is paid on drawn and undrawn portions of the Credit Facility.
As of September 30, 2022, we had unused borrowing capacity of $1,390 million, net of $10 million of letters of credit, under the Credit Agreement, of which $1,390 million would have been available to borrow for working capital and other general partnership purposes based on the financial covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement. Except in the case of a default, amounts borrowed under our Credit Agreement will not become due prior to the March 18, 2027 maturity date.
Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility
The Securitization Facility provides for up to $350 million of borrowing capacity through August 2024 at an adjusted SOFR and includes an uncommitted option to increase the total commitments under the Securitization Facility by up to an additional $400 million. Under this Securitization Facility, certain of the Partnership’s wholly owned subsidiaries sell or

contribute receivables to another of the Partnership’s consolidated subsidiaries, DCP Receivables LLC (“DCP Receivables”), a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity created for the sole purpose of the Securitization Facility. 
As of September 30, 2022, we had unused borrowing capacity of $350 million under the Securitization Facility, secured by approximately $1,559 million of our accounts receivable at DCP Receivables.

12. Risk Management and Hedging Activities
Our operations expose us to a variety of risks including but not limited to changes in the prices of commodities that we buy or sell, changes in interest rates, and the creditworthiness of each of our counterparties. We manage certain of these exposures with either physical or financial transactions. We have established a comprehensive risk management policy and a risk management committee (the “Risk Management Committee”), to monitor and manage market risks associated with commodity prices and counterparty credit. The Risk Management Committee is composed of senior executives who receive regular briefings on positions and exposures, credit exposures and overall risk management in the context of market activities. The Risk Management Committee is responsible for the overall management of credit risk and commodity price risk, including monitoring exposure limits.
Collateral
As of September 30, 2022, we had cash deposits of $219 million, included in collateral cash deposits in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, as of September 30, 2022, we held letters of credit of $198 million from counterparties to secure their future performance under financial or physical contracts. Collateral amounts held or posted may be fixed or may vary, depending on the value of the underlying contracts, and could cover normal purchases and sales, services, trading and hedging contracts. In many cases, we and our counterparties have publicly disclosed credit ratings, which may impact the amounts of collateral requirements.
Offsetting
Certain of our financial derivative instruments are subject to a master netting or similar arrangement, whereby we may elect to settle multiple positions with an individual counterparty through a single net payment. Each of our individual derivative instruments are presented on a gross basis on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, regardless of our ability to net settle our positions. Instruments that are governed by agreements that include net settle provisions allow final settlement, when presented with a termination event, of outstanding amounts by extinguishing the mutual debts owed between the parties in exchange for a net amount due. We have trade receivables and payables associated with derivative instruments, subject to master netting or similar agreements, which are not included in the table below. The following summarizes the gross and net amounts of our derivative instruments:

15. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Litigation — We are not a party to any material legal proceedings, but are a party to various administrative and regulatory proceedings and commercial disputes that have arisen in the ordinary course of our business. Management currently believes that the ultimate resolution of the foregoing matters, taken as a whole, and after consideration of amounts accrued, insurance coverage or other indemnification arrangements, will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flow.
Insurance — Our insurance coverage is carried with third-party insurers and with an affiliate of Phillips 66. Our insurance coverage includes: (i) general liability insurance covering third-party exposures; (ii) statutory workers’ compensation insurance; (iii) automobile liability insurance for all owned, non-owned and hired vehicles; (iv) excess liability insurance above

the established primary limits for general liability and automobile liability insurance; (v) property insurance, which covers the replacement value of real and personal property and includes business interruption; and (vi) insurance covering our directors and officers for acts related to our business activities. All coverage is subject to certain limits and deductibles, the terms and conditions of which are common for companies with similar types of operations.
Environment, Health and Safety — The operation of pipelines, plants and other facilities for gathering, transporting, processing, treating, fractionating, or storing natural gas, NGLs and other products is subject to stringent and complex laws and regulations pertaining to the environment, health and safety. As an owner or operator of these facilities, we must comply with laws and regulations at the federal, state and, in some cases, local levels that relate to worker health and safety, public health and safety, pipeline safety, air and water quality, solid and hazardous waste management and disposal, and other environmental matters. The cost of planning, designing, constructing and operating pipelines, plants, and other facilities incorporates compliance with environmental laws and regulations, health and safety standards applicable to workers and the public, and safety standards applicable to our various facilities. In addition, there is increasing focus from (i) regulatory bodies and communities, and through litigation, on hydraulic fracturing and the real or perceived environmental or public health impacts of this technique, which indirectly presents some risk to our available supply of natural gas and the resulting supply of NGLs; (ii) regulatory bodies regarding pipeline system safety which could impose additional regulatory burdens and increase the cost of our operations; (iii) state and federal regulatory agencies regarding the emission of greenhouse gases and other air emissions associated with our operations or the materials managed as part of our business, which could impose regulatory burdens and increase the cost of our operations; and (iv) regulatory bodies and communities that could prevent or delay the development of fossil fuel energy infrastructure such as pipelines, plants, and other facilities used in our business. Failure to comply with these various health, safety and environmental laws and regulations may trigger a variety of administrative, civil and potentially criminal enforcement measures, including citizen suits, which can include the assessment of monetary penalties, the imposition of remedial requirements, and the issuance of injunctions or restrictions on operation. Management believes that, based on currently known information, compliance with these existing laws and regulations will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
The following pending proceedings involve governmental authorities as a party under federal, state, and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment. We have elected to disclose matters where we reasonably believe such proceeding would result in monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, of $1 million or more. It is not possible for us to predict the final outcome of these pending proceedings; however, we do not expect the outcome of one or more of these proceedings to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows:

In March 2019, Region 8 of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) issued a Notice of Violation alleging various non-compliance with federal Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) regulations, known as Subparts KKK and OOOO that exist to mitigate emissions of volatile organic compounds from certain equipment at natural gas plants, at various times over the course of late 2011 through 2017 at five of our Colorado natural gas processing plants. DCP does not agree with many of the allegations of non-compliance, and engaged in discussions with EPA about the propriety of the allegations, including the facts and regulatory underpinnings of the various allegations. DCP, EPA and the State of Colorado resolved these allegations in July 2022 with a Consent Decree in which DCP agrees to implement enhancements to its LDAR program at all of its Colorado natural gas processing plants, implement an environmental mitigation project valued at $1.15 million at its Mewbourn gas plant in Colorado, and pay a civil penalty of $3.25 million. Public review having been completed, the U.S. District Court (Colorado) entered the final Consent Decree on October 27, 2022, providing the final resolution of this enforcement matter. DCP does not believe that the resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

In 2018, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (“CDPHE”) issued a Compliance Advisory in relation to an improperly permitted facility flare and related air emissions from flare operations at one of our gas processing plants, which we had self-disclosed to CDPHE in December 2017. Following information exchanges and discussions with CDPHE, a resolution was proposed pursuant to which the plant's air permit would be revised to include the flare and emissions limits for such flare in addition to us paying an administrative penalty as well as an economic benefit payment generally covering the period when the flare was required to be included in the facility air permit. A revised air permit was issued in May 2019, but the parties had not yet entered into a final settlement agreement to complete the matter. Subsequently, in July 2020 CDPHE issued a Notice of Violation in relation to amine treater emissions at this gas processing plant, which we had self-disclosed to CDPHE in April 2020. We are still exchanging information and holding discussions with CDPHE as to this and the foregoing flare-related enforcement matter, including possible settlement terms, although these matters, which have since been combined, may end up in formal legal proceedings. It is possible that resolution of this matter may include an administrative penalty and

economic benefit payment, further revising the facility air permit, or installation of emissions management equipment, or a combination of these, that could, in the aggregate, exceed the disclosure threshold amount described above, although we do not believe that resolution of this matter would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.


16. Business Segments
Our operations are organized into two reportable segments: (i) Logistics and Marketing and (ii) Gathering and Processing. These segments are monitored separately by management for performance against our internal forecast and are consistent with internal financial reporting. These segments have been identified based on the differing products and services, regulatory environment and the expertise required for these operations. Our Gathering and Processing reportable segment includes operating segments that have been aggregated based on the nature of the products and services provided. Adjusted gross margin is a performance measure utilized by management to monitor the operations of each segment. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies included in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" included as Item 8 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Our Logistics and Marketing segment includes transporting, trading, marketing, storing natural gas and NGLs, and fractionating NGLs. Our Gathering and Processing segment consists of gathering, compressing, treating, processing natural gas, producing and fractionating NGLs, and recovering condensate. The remainder of our business operations is presented as “Other,” and consists of unallocated corporate costs. Elimination of inter-segment transactions are reflected in the Eliminations column.

Adjusted gross margin is viewed as a non-GAAP financial measure under the rules of the SEC, but is included as a supplemental disclosure because it is a primary performance measure used by management as it represents the results of product sales versus product purchases. As an indicator of our operating performance, adjusted gross margin should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income, net cash provided by operating activities or gross margin as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our adjusted gross margin may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate adjusted gross margin in the same manner.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion analyzes our financial condition and results of operations. You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Overview
We are a Delaware limited partnership formed by DCP Midstream, LLC to own, operate, acquire and develop a diversified portfolio of complementary midstream energy assets. Our operations are organized into two reportable segments: (i) Logistics and Marketing and (ii) Gathering and Processing. Our Logistics and Marketing segment includes transporting, trading, marketing and storing natural gas and NGLs, and fractionating NGLs. Our Gathering and Processing segment consists of gathering, compressing, treating, and processing natural gas, producing and fractionating NGLs, and recovering condensate.

Common Unit Acquisition Proposal

On August 17, 2022, the Board of Directors of our General Partner (the “Board”) received a non-binding proposal from Phillips 66 to acquire all of the Partnership’s issued and outstanding publicly-held common units not already owned by DCP Midstream, LLC or its subsidiaries at a value of $34.75 per each issued and outstanding publicly-held common unit (the “Proposal”). The Board appointed the conflicts committee to review, evaluate and negotiate the Proposal. The proposed transaction is subject to a number of contingencies, including approval by the conflicts committee and the Board, the negotiation of a definitive agreement concerning the transaction, and the satisfaction of conditions to the consummation of a transaction set forth in any such definitive agreement. There can be no assurance that such definitive agreement will be executed or that any transaction will be consummated on the terms described above or at all.

General Trends and Outlook
We anticipate our business will continue to be affected by the following key trends. Our expectations are based on assumptions made by us and information currently available to us. To the extent our underlying assumptions about, or interpretations of, available information prove to be incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from our expected results.
Our business is impacted by commodity prices and volumes. We mitigate a significant portion of commodity price risk on an overall Partnership basis through our fee-based assets and by executing on our hedging program. Various factors impact both commodity prices and volumes, and as indicated in Item 3. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” we have sensitivities to certain cash and non-cash changes in commodity prices. Commodity prices have been volatile during 2022 and are subject to global energy supply and demand fundamentals as well as geopolitical disruptions. Drilling activity levels vary by geographic area and we will continue to target our strategy in geographic areas where we expect producer drilling activity.
Our long-term view is that commodity prices will be at levels that we believe will support sustained or increasing levels of domestic production. Our business is predominantly fee-based and we have a diversified portfolio to balance the upside of our earnings potential while reducing our commodity exposure. In addition, we use our strategic hedging program to further mitigate commodity price exposure. We expect future commodity prices will be influenced by tariffs and other global economic conditions, the level of North American production and drilling activity by exploration and production companies, the balance of trade between imports and exports of liquid natural gas, NGLs and crude oil, and the severity of winter and summer weather.

We intend to be a proactive participant in the transition to a lower carbon energy future. In August 2021, we announced two goals for companywide greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions. By 2030, our goal is to reduce our total Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 30% from our 2018 baseline. Additionally, by 2050, our goal is to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions. We plan to achieve these targets through increased efficiency and modernization of existing operations and reducing greenhouse gas emissions within the base business. We are continuously working to improve operational and energy efficiency through resource and energy conservation throughout our operations and made progress towards our goals by reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions across our operations by approximately 23% from the 2018 baseline through the end of 2021.We also plan to leverage our existing infrastructure to establish adjacent lines of business that capture growing market opportunities and capitalize on green energy growth. To measure and report progress against these targets, we utilize an emission calculation protocol intended to align with the Energy Infrastructure Council (EIC) Midstream ESG Reporting Template, which is based upon the principles noted in the World Resources Institute (WRI) Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard & Scope 2 Protocols. While we believe these goals align with our long-term growth strategy and financial and operational priorities, they are aspirational and may change, and there is no guarantee that they will be met.
Our business is primarily driven by the level of production of natural gas by producers and of NGLs from processing plants connected to our pipelines and fractionators. These volumes can be impacted negatively by, among other things, reduced drilling activity, depressed commodity prices, severe weather disruptions, operational outages and ethane rejection. Upstream producers response to changes in commodity prices and demand remain uncertain.
We hedge commodity prices associated with a portion of our expected natural gas, NGL and condensate equity volumes in our Gathering and Processing segment. Drilling activity levels vary by geographic area, and we will continue to target our strategy in geographic areas where we expect producer drilling activity.
We believe our contract structure with our producers provides us with significant protection from credit risk since we generally hold the product, sell it and withhold our fees prior to remittance of payments to the producer. Currently, our top 20 producers account for a majority of the total natural gas that we gather and process and of these top 20 producers, 5 have investment grade credit ratings. During February 2021, Winter Storm Uri resulted in lower volumes and abnormally high gas prices in certain regions. Certain counterparty billings during this time remain under dispute and are taking longer to collect than normal.
The global economic outlook continues to be a cause for concern for U.S. financial markets and businesses and investors alike. This uncertainty may contribute to volatility in financial and commodity markets.
We believe we are positioned to withstand future commodity price volatility as a result of the following:
Our fee-based business represents a significant portion of our margins.
We have positive operating cash flow from our well-positioned and diversified assets.
We have a well-defined and targeted multi-year hedging program.
We manage our disciplined capital growth program with a significant focus on fee-based agreements and projects with long-term volume outlooks.
We believe we have a solid capital structure and balance sheet.
We believe we have access to sufficient capital to fund our growth including excess distribution coverage and divestitures.
During 2022, our strategic objectives are to generate Excess Free Cash Flows (a non-GAAP measure defined in “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures - Excess Free Cash Flows”) and reduce leverage. We believe the key elements to generating Excess Free Cash Flows are the diversity of our asset portfolio, our fee-based business which represents a significant portion of our estimated margins, plus our hedged commodity position, the objective of which is to protect against downside risk in our Excess Free Cash Flows. We will continue to pursue incremental revenue, cost efficiencies and operating improvements of our assets through process and technology improvements.
We incur capital expenditures for our consolidated entities and our unconsolidated affiliates. Our 2022 plan includes sustaining capital expenditures of between $100 million and $140 million and expansion capital expenditures of between $100 million and $150 million excluding our acquisition of the James Lake System for $161 million.

$50 million increase due to higher volumes across all regions, and higher gathering and processing margins in the Midcontinent and Permian.
Natural Gas Wellhead — Natural gas wellhead increased in 2022 compared to 2021 across all regions.
NGL Gross Production — NGL gross production increased in 2022 compared to 2021 due to increased volumes in the Permian region and DJ Basin.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
Total Operating Revenues — Total operating revenues increased $3,684 million in 2022 compared to 2021, primarily as a result of the following:
$2,883 million increase attributable to higher commodity prices, before the impact of derivative activity;
$456 million increase as a result of higher volumes in the Permian, DJ Basin, and Midcontinent regions, partially offset by lower volumes in the South region;
$125 million increase in transportation, processing and other; and
$220 million increase as a result of commodity derivative activity attributable to a $304 million increase in unrealized commodity derivative gains partially offset by an increase in realized cash settlement losses of $84 million due to movements in forward prices of commodities in 2022.
Purchases and Related Costs — Purchases and related costs increased $2,991 million in 2022 compared to 2021, primarily as a result of the commodity price and volume changes discussed above.
Operating and Maintenance Expense — Operating and maintenance expense increased in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to higher base costs primarily in the Permian, and higher reliability and pipeline integrity spend.
Asset Impairments — Asset impairments in 2021 relate to certain long-lived assets in the Midcontinent region.
40


Gain on Sale of Assets, net — The net gain on sale of assets in 2022 represents the sale of a gathering system in the Permian region.
Segment Adjusted Gross Margin — Segment adjusted gross margin increased $693 million in 2022 compared to 2021, primarily as a result of the following:
$383 million increase as a result of higher commodity prices;
$151 million increase as a result of favorable commodity derivative activity attributable to our corporate equity hedge program as discussed above;
$124 million increase due to higher margins in the Permian and Midcontinent regions and higher volumes in the Permian and DJ Basin; and
$35 million increase as a result of the negative impact of Winter Storm Uri in the first quarter 2021 which reflected reduced volumes due to producer shut-ins, commodity derivative activity associated with swaps, and the net impact of producer payments and marketing activity.
Natural Gas Wellhead — Natural gas wellhead increased in 2022 compared to 2021 due to increased volumes in the Permian region and DJ Basin.
NGL Gross Production — NGL gross production increased in 2022 compared to 2021 due to increased volumes in the Permian region and DJ Basin.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We expect our sources of liquidity to include:
cash generated from operations;
cash distributions from our unconsolidated affiliates;
borrowings under our Credit Agreement and Securitization Facility;
proceeds from asset rationalization;
debt offerings;
borrowings under term loans, or other credit facilities; and
issuances of additional common units, preferred units or other securities.
We anticipate our more significant uses of resources to include:
quarterly distributions to our common unitholders and distributions to our preferred unitholders;
payments to service or retire our debt or Preferred Units;
capital expenditures;
contributions to our unconsolidated affiliates to finance our share of their capital expenditures;
business and asset acquisitions; and
collateral with counterparties to our swap contracts to secure potential exposure under these contracts, which may, at times, be significant depending on commodity price movements.
We believe that cash generated from these sources will be sufficient to meet our short-term working capital requirements, long-term capital expenditures and quarterly cash distributions.
We routinely evaluate opportunities for strategic investments or acquisitions. Future material investments or acquisitions may require that we obtain additional capital, assume third party debt or incur other long-term obligations. We have the option to utilize both equity and debt instruments as vehicles for the long-term financing of our investment activities or acquisitions.
Based on current and anticipated levels of operations, we believe we have adequate committed financial resources to conduct our ongoing business, although deterioration in our operating environment could limit our borrowing capacity, impact our credit ratings, raise our financing costs, as well as impact our compliance with the financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement and other debt instruments.
Senior Notes — On January 3, 2022, we repaid, at par, prior to maturity all $350 million of aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 4.95% Senior Notes due April 1, 2022, using borrowings under our Credit Facility and Securitization Facility.

Credit Agreement —On March 18, 2022, we amended the Credit Agreement. The amendment extended the term of the Credit Agreement from December 9, 2024 to March 18, 2027. The amendment also includes sustainability linked key performance indicators that increase or decrease the applicable margin and facility fee payable thereunder based on our safety performance relative to our peers and year-over-year change in our greenhouse gas emissions intensity rate. The Credit Agreement provides up to $1.4 billion of borrowing capacity and bears interest at either the term SOFR rate or the base rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin based on our credit rating.

As of September 30, 2022, we had unused borrowing capacity of $1,390 million, net of $10 million letters of credit, under the Credit Agreement, of which at least $1,390 million would have been available to borrow for working capital and other general partnership purposes based on the financial covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement. As of October 28, 2022, we had unused borrowing capacity of $1,390 million, net of $10 million of letters of credit, under the Credit Agreement. Our cost of borrowing under the Credit Agreement is determined by a ratings-based pricing grid.

42


Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility As of September 30, 2022, we had unused borrowing capacity of $350 million under the Securitization Facility, secured by approximately $1,559 million of our accounts receivable at DCP Receivables.
Issuance of Securities — In October 2020, we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC that became effective upon filing and allows us to issue an indeterminate number of common units, preferred units, debt securities, and guarantees of debt securities.
In October 2020, we also filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC, which allows us to issue up to $750 million in common units pursuant to our at-the-market program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we did not issue any common units pursuant to this registration statement, and $750 million remained available for future sales.
Guarantee of Registered Debt Securities — The condensed consolidated financial statements of DCP Midstream, LP, or “parent guarantor”, include the accounts of DCP Midstream Operating LP, or “subsidiary issuer”, which is a 100% owned subsidiary, and all other subsidiaries which are all non-guarantor subsidiaries. The parent guarantor has agreed to fully and unconditionally guarantee the senior notes. The entirety of the Company’s operating assets and liabilities, operating revenues, expenses and other comprehensive income exist at its non-guarantor subsidiaries, and the parent guarantor and subsidiary issuer have no assets, liabilities or operations independent of their respective financing activities and investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries. All covenants in the indentures governing the notes limit the activities of subsidiary issuer, including limitations on the ability to pay dividends, incur additional indebtedness, make restricted payments, create liens, sell assets or make loans to parent guarantor.

The Company qualifies for alternative disclosure under Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X, because the combined financial information of the subsidiary issuer and parent guarantor, excluding investments in subsidiaries that are not issuers or guarantors, reflect no material assets, liabilities or results of operations apart from their respective financing activities and investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries. Summarized financial information is presented as follows. The only assets, liabilities and results of operations of the subsidiary issuer and parent guarantor on a combined basis, independent of their respective investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries are:

Accounts payable and other current liabilities of $67 million and $81 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively;
Balances related to debt of $4.823 billion and $5.174 billion as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively; and
Interest expense, net of $67 million and $72 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $205 million and $224 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Commodity Swaps and Collateral — Changes in natural gas, NGL and condensate prices and the terms of our processing arrangements have a direct impact on our generation and use of cash from operations due to their impact on net income, along with the resulting changes in working capital. For additional information regarding our derivative activities, please read Item 3. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” contained herein.
When we enter into commodity swap contracts, we may be required to provide collateral to the counterparties in the event that our potential payment exposure exceeds a predetermined collateral threshold. Collateral thresholds are set by us and each counterparty, as applicable, in the master contract that governs our financial transactions based on our and the counterparty’s assessment of creditworthiness. The assessment of our position with respect to the collateral thresholds are determined on a counterparty by counterparty basis, and are impacted by the representative forward price curves and notional quantities under our swap contracts. Due to the interrelation between the representative crude oil and natural gas forward price curves, it is not practical to determine a pricing point at which our swap contracts will meet the collateral thresholds as we may transact multiple commodities with the same counterparty. Depending on daily commodity prices, the amount of collateral posted can go up or down on a daily basis.
Working Capital — Working capital is the amount by which current assets exceed current liabilities. Current assets are reduced in part by our quarterly distributions, which are required under the terms of our Partnership Agreement based on Available Cash, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. In general, our working capital is impacted by changes in the prices of commodities that we buy and sell, inventory levels, and other business factors that affect our net income and cash flows. Our working capital is also impacted by the timing of operating cash receipts and disbursements, cash collateral we may be required to post with counterparties to our commodity derivative instruments, borrowings of and payments on debt and the Securitization
43


Facility, capital expenditures, and increases or decreases in other long-term assets. We expect that our future working capital requirements will be impacted by these same recurring factors. During February 2021, Winter Storm Uri resulted in lower regional volumes and abnormally high gas prices for a period of days. A majority of our receivables associated with Winter Storm Uri have been collected. Certain counterparty billings during this time are under dispute and are taking longer to collect than normal, which continues to impact our working capital at September 30, 2022. We believe the amounts due to us are owed and are vigorously pursuing legal avenues to collect these receivables.
We had working capital deficits of $481 million and $261 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, driven by current maturities of long term debt of $506 million and $355 million, respectively. We had net derivative working capital deficits of $94 million and $59 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Cash Flow Operating, investing and financing activities were as follows:
 Nine Months Ended September 30,
 20222021
 (millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities$1,275 $255 
Net cash used in investing activities$(273)$(73)
Net cash used in financing activities$(910)$(235)

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
Operating Activities — Net cash provided by operating activities increased $1,020 million in 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The changes in net cash provided by operating activities are attributable to our net income adjusted for non-cash charges and changes in working capital as presented in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. For additional information regarding fluctuations in our earnings and distributions from unconsolidated affiliates, please read “Supplemental Information on Unconsolidated Affiliates” under “Results of Operations”.
Investing Activities — Net cash used in investing activities increased $200 million in 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, primarily as a result of an increase in capital expenditures and the acquisition of the James Lake System, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of assets.
Financing Activities — Net cash used in financing activities increased $675 million in 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, primarily as a result of higher net payments of debt.
Contractual Obligations — Material contractual obligations arising in the normal course of business primarily consist of purchase obligations, long-term debt and related interest payments, leases, and other long-term liabilities. See Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 "Financial Statements" for amounts outstanding on September 30, 2022, related to debt.
Purchase Obligations are contractual obligations and include various non-cancelable commitments to purchase physical quantities of commodities in future periods and other items, including gas supply, fractionation and transportation agreements in the ordinary course of business.
Management believes that our cash and investment position and operating cash flows as well as capacity under existing and available credit agreements will be sufficient to meet our liquidity and capital requirements for the foreseeable future. We believe that our current and projected asset position is sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements.
Capital Requirements — The midstream energy business can be capital intensive, requiring significant investment to maintain and upgrade existing operations. In the ordinary course of our business, we purchase physical commodities and enter into arrangements related to other items, including long-term fractionation and transportation agreements, in future periods. We establish a margin for these purchases by entering into physical and financial sale and exchange transactions to maintain a balanced position between purchases and sales and future delivery obligations. We expect to fund the obligations with the corresponding sales to entities that we deem creditworthy or who have provided credit support we consider adequate. We may enter into purchase order and non-cancelable construction agreements for capital expenditures. Our capital requirements have consisted primarily of, and we anticipate will continue to consist of the following:
44


Sustaining capital expenditures, which are cash expenditures to maintain our cash flows, operating or earnings capacity. These expenditures add on to or improve capital assets owned, including certain system integrity, compliance and safety improvements. Sustaining capital expenditures also include certain well connects, and may include the acquisition or construction of new capital assets; and
Expansion capital expenditures, which are cash expenditures to increase our cash flows, or operating or earnings capacity. Expansion capital expenditures include acquisitions or capital improvements (where we add on to or improve the capital assets owned, or acquire or construct new gathering lines and well connects, treating facilities, processing plants, fractionation facilities, pipelines, terminals, docks, truck racks, tankage and other storage, distribution or transportation facilities and related or similar midstream assets).
We incur capital expenditures for our consolidated entities and our unconsolidated affiliates. Our 2022 plan includes sustaining capital expenditures of between $100 million and $140 million and expansion capital expenditures of between $100 million and $150 million excluding our acquisition of the James Lake system for $161 million.
We expect to fund future acquisitions and capital expenditures with funds generated from our operations, borrowings under our Credit Agreement, Securitization Facility and the issuance of additional debt and equity securities. We funded our acquisition of the James Lake system with cash and borrowings under our Credit Facility. Future material investments or acquisitions may require that we obtain additional capital, assume third party debt or incur other long-term obligations. We have the option to utilize both equity and debt instruments as vehicles for the long-term financing of our investment activities and acquisitions.

Cash Distributions to Unitholders — Our Partnership Agreement requires that, within 45 days after the end of each quarter, we distribute all Available Cash, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. We made cash distributions to our common unitholders and general partner of $252 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
On October 13, 2022, we announced that the board of directors of the General Partner declared a quarterly distribution on our common units of $0.43 per common unit. The distribution will be paid on November 14, 2022 to unitholders of record on October 28, 2022.
Also on October 13, 2022, the board of directors of the General Partner declared a semi-annual distribution on our Series A Preferred Units of $36.875 per unit. The distribution will be paid on December 15, 2022 to unitholders of record on December 1, 2022.
Also on October 13, 2022, the board of directors of the General Partner declared a quarterly distribution on our Series B and Series C Preferred Units of $0.4922 and $0.4969 per unit, respectively. The Series B distributions will be paid on December 15, 2022 to unitholders of record on December 1, 2022. The Series C distribution will be paid on January 17, 2023 to unitholders of record on January 3, 2023.
We expect to continue to use cash provided by operating activities for the payment of distributions to our unitholders. See Note 13. “Partnership Equity and Distributions” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. “Financial Statements.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted Gross Margin and Segment Adjusted Gross Margin — In addition to net income, we view our adjusted gross margin as an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations. We review our adjusted gross margin monthly for consistency and trend analysis.
We define adjusted gross margin as total operating revenues, less purchases and related costs, and we define segment adjusted gross margin for each segment as total operating revenues for that segment less purchases and related costs for that segment. Our adjusted gross margin equals the sum of our segment adjusted gross margins. Adjusted gross margin and segment adjusted gross margin are primary performance measures used by management, as these measures represent the results of product sales and purchases, a key component of our operations. As an indicator of our operating performance, adjusted gross margin and segment adjusted gross margin should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, operating revenues, gross margin, segment gross margin, net income or loss, net income or loss attributable to partners, operating income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.
We believe adjusted gross margin provides useful information to our investors because our management views our adjusted gross margin and segment adjusted gross margin as important performance measures that represent the results of product sales and purchases, a key component of our operations. We review our adjusted gross margin and segment adjusted gross margin monthly for consistency and trend analysis. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in evaluating our operating results.
Adjusted EBITDA — We define adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss attributable to partners adjusted for (i) distributions from unconsolidated affiliates, net of earnings, (ii) depreciation and amortization expense, (iii) net interest expense, (iv) noncontrolling interest in depreciation and income tax expense, (v) unrealized gains and losses from commodity derivatives, (vi) income tax expense or benefit, (vii) impairment expense and (viii) certain other non-cash items. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes items of income or loss that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations. Management believes these measures provide investors meaningful insight into results from ongoing operations.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or loss, net income or loss attributable to partners, operating income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance, liquidity or ability to service debt obligations.
Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental liquidity and performance measure and adjusted segment EBITDA is used as a supplemental performance measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others to assess:
financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;
our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy industry, without regard to financing methods or capital structure;
viability and performance of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on investment opportunities; and
in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support our indebtedness, make cash distributions to our unitholders and pay capital expenditures.
Adjusted Segment EBITDA — We define adjusted segment EBITDA for each segment as segment net income or loss attributable to partners adjusted for (i) distributions from unconsolidated affiliates, net of earnings, (ii) depreciation and amortization expense, (iii) net interest expense, (iv) noncontrolling interest in depreciation and income tax expense, (v) unrealized gains and losses from commodity derivatives, (vi) income tax expense or benefit, (vii) impairment expense and (viii) certain other non-cash items. Adjusted segment EBITDA further excludes items of income or loss that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations for that segment. Our adjusted segment EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate adjusted segment EBITDA in the same manner.
Adjusted segment EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to our financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, including operating revenues, net income or loss attributable to partners, or any other measure of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.
Our adjusted gross margin, segment adjusted gross margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted segment EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate these measures in the
46


same manner. The accompanying schedules provide reconciliations of adjusted gross margin, segment adjusted gross margin and adjusted segment EBITDA to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Distributable Cash Flow — We define Distributable Cash Flow as adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, less sustaining capital expenditures, net of reimbursable projects, less interest expense, less income attributable to preferred units, and certain other items. Sustaining capital expenditures are cash expenditures made to maintain our cash flows, operating or earnings capacity. These expenditures add on to or improve capital assets owned, including certain system integrity, compliance and safety improvements. Sustaining capital expenditures also include certain well connects, and may include the acquisition or construction of new capital assets. Income attributable to preferred units represent cash distributions earned by the preferred units. Cash distributions to be paid to the holders of the preferred units assuming a distribution is declared by the board of directors of the General Partner, are not available to common unit holders. Non-cash mark-to-market of derivative instruments is considered to be non-cash for the purpose of computing Distributable Cash Flow because settlement will not occur until future periods, and will be impacted by future changes in commodity prices and interest rates. Distributable Cash Flow is used as a supplemental liquidity and performance measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, to assess our ability to make cash distributions to our unitholders and our general partner.

Our Distributable Cash Flow may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate Distributable Cash Flow in the same manner.
Excess Free Cash Flow — We define Excess Free Cash Flow as Distributable Cash Flow, as defined above, less distributions to limited partners, less expansion capital expenditures, net of reimbursable projects, and contributions to equity method investments and certain other items. Expansion capital expenditures are cash expenditures to increase our cash flows, or operating or earnings capacity. Expansion capital expenditures include acquisitions or capital improvements (where we add on to or improve the capital assets owned, or acquire or construct new gathering lines and well connects, treating facilities, processing plants, fractionation facilities, pipelines, terminals, docks, truck racks, tankage and other storage, distribution or transportation facilities and related or similar midstream assets).
Excess Free Cash Flow is used as a supplemental liquidity and performance measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, and is useful to investors and management as a measure of our ability to generate cash. Once business needs and obligations are met, including cash reserves to provide funds for distribution payments on our units and the proper conduct of our business, which includes cash reserves for future capital expenditures and anticipated credit needs, this cash can be used to reduce debt, reinvest in the company for future growth, or return to unitholders.

Our definition of Excess Free Cash Flow is limited in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures. Therefore, we believe the use of Excess Free Cash Flow for the limited purposes described above and in this report is not a substitute for net cash flows provided by operating activities, which is the most comparable GAAP measure. Excess Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate Excess Free Cash Flow in the same manner.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in “Critical Accounting Estimates” within Item 7 “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included as Item 8 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The accounting policies and estimates used in preparing our interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are the same as those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, except as follows below. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and other information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Business combinations - We account for business combinations under ASC 805 which, among other things, requires the allocation of the company’s purchase price to the various assets and liabilities of the acquired business at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition.

We estimate fair value measurements in accordance with ASC 820. These significant estimates, judgments, inputs, and assumptions include, when applicable, the selection of an appropriate valuation method depending on the nature of the respective asset, such as the income approach, the market or sales comparison approach. Determining the fair values of assets acquired generally involves assumptions regarding the amounts and timing of future revenues and expenditures, as well as discount rates.

The assumptions and inputs incorporated within the fair value estimates are subject to considerable management judgement and are based on historical trends, industry, market, and economic conditions prevalent at the time of the acquisition. Although we based these estimates on assumptions believed to be reasonable, these estimates are inherently unpredictable, uncertain and sensitive to change and the actual results could affect the accuracy or validity of our estimates.

Our sensitivities for 2022 as shown in the table below are estimated based on our average estimated commodity price exposure and commodity cash flow protection activities for the calendar year 2022, and exclude the impact of non-cash mark-to-market changes on our commodity derivatives. We utilize direct product crude oil, natural gas and NGL derivatives to mitigate a portion of our condensate, natural gas and NGL commodity price exposure. These sensitivities are associated with our condensate, natural gas and NGL volumes that are currently unhedged.

In addition to the linear relationships in our commodity sensitivities above, additional factors may cause us to be less sensitive to commodity price declines. A portion of our net income is derived from fee-based contracts and a portion from percentage-of-proceeds and percentage-of-liquids processing arrangements that contain minimum fee clauses in which our processing margins convert to fee-based arrangements as commodity prices decline.
We estimate the following sensitivities related to the non-cash mark-to-market on our commodity derivatives associated with our open position on our commodity cash flow protection activities:

Crude oil prices$1.00 Barrel$
While the above commodity price sensitivities are indicative of the impact that changes in commodity prices may have on our annualized net income, changes during certain periods of extreme price volatility and market conditions or changes in the relationship of the price of NGLs and crude oil may cause our commodity price sensitivities to vary significantly from these estimates.

The midstream natural gas industry is cyclical, with the operating results of companies in the industry significantly affected by the prevailing price of NGLs, which in turn has been generally related to the price of crude oil. Although the prevailing price of residue natural gas has less short-term significance to our operating results than the price of NGLs, in the long-term the growth and sustainability of our business depends on natural gas prices being at levels sufficient to provide incentives and capital for producers to increase natural gas exploration and production. To minimize potential future commodity-based pricing and cash flow volatility, we have entered into a series of derivative financial instruments.
Based on historical trends, we generally expect NGL prices to directionally follow changes in crude oil prices over the long-term. However, the pricing relationship between NGLs and crude oil may vary, as we believe crude oil prices will in large part be determined by the level of production from major crude oil exporting countries and the demand generated by growth in the world economy, whereas NGL prices are more correlated to supply and U.S. petrochemical demand. Additionally, the level of NGL export demand may also have an impact on prices. We believe that future natural gas prices will be influenced by the level of North American production and drilling activity of exploration and production companies, the balance of trade between imports and exports of liquid natural gas and NGLs and the severity of winter and summer weather. Drilling activity can be
51


adversely affected as natural gas prices decrease. Energy market uncertainty could also reduce North American drilling activity. Limited access to capital could also decrease drilling. Lower drilling levels over a sustained period would reduce natural gas volumes gathered and processed, but could increase commodity prices, if supply were to fall relative to demand levels.
Natural Gas Storage and Pipeline Asset Based Commodity Derivative Program — Our natural gas storage and pipeline assets are exposed to certain risks including changes in commodity prices. We manage commodity price risk related to our natural gas storage and pipeline assets through our commodity derivative program. The commercial activities related to our natural gas storage and pipeline assets primarily consist of the purchase and sale of gas and associated time spreads and basis spreads.
A time spread transaction is executed by establishing a long gas position at one point in time and establishing an equal short gas position at a different point in time. Time spread transactions allow us to lock in a margin supported by the injection, withdrawal, and storage capacity of our natural gas storage assets. We may execute basis spread transactions to mitigate the risk of sale and purchase price differentials across our system. A basis spread transaction allows us to lock in a margin on our physical purchases and sales of gas, including injections and withdrawals from storage. We typically use swaps to execute these transactions, which are not designated as hedging instruments and are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the current period condensed consolidated statements of operations. While gas held in our storage locations is recorded at the lower of average cost or net realizable value, the derivative instruments that are used to manage our storage facilities are recorded at fair value and any changes in fair value are currently recorded in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Even though we may have economically hedged our exposure and locked in a future margin, the use of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting for our physical inventory and the use of mark-to-market accounting for our derivative instruments may subject our earnings to market volatility.

The following tables set forth additional information about our derivative instruments, used to mitigate a portion of our natural gas price risk associated with our inventory within our natural gas storage operations as of September 30, 2022:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to the management of our general partner, including our general partner’s principal executive and principal financial officers (whom we refer to as the “Certifying Officers”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The management of our general partner evaluated, with the participation of the Certifying Officers, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that, as of September 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The information provided in “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities” included in (a) Note 21 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and (b) Note 15 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are incorporated herein by reference. For the disclosure of environmental proceedings with a governmental entity as a party pursuant to Item 103(c)(3)(iii) of Regulation S-K, the Company has elected to disclose matters where the Company reasonably believes such proceeding would result in monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest costs, of $1 million or more.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
An investment in our securities involves various risks. When considering an investment in us, careful consideration should be given to the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There are no material changes to the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, except as follows:

Our business could be negatively impacted by inflationary pressures which may decrease our operating margins and increase working capital investments required to operate our business.

The U.S. economy has experienced rising inflation in 2022. A sustained increase in inflation may continue to increase our costs for labor, services, and materials. Further our producer suppliers and customers face inflationary pressures and resulting impacts, such as the tight labor market, availability of drilling and hydraulic fracturing equipment, and supply chain disruptions, which could increase the cost of production which in turn may limit the level of drilling activity in the regions in which we operate. Our throughput volumes of natural gas and NGL supply may be impacted if producers are constrained. The rate and scope of these various inflationary factors may increase our operating costs and capital expenditures materially, which may not be readily recoverable in the prices of our services and may have an adverse effect on our costs, operating margins, results of operations and financial condition.

There can be no assurances that we will enter into a definitive agreement with Phillips 66 related to Phillips 66’s proposal to acquire all of our outstanding common units not already owned by DCP Midstream, LLC or its subsidiaries, or that we will complete any transaction contemplated by such an agreement.

On August 17, 2022, the board of directors of our General Partner received a non-binding preliminary proposal letter from Phillips 66 to acquire all of the Partnership's issued and outstanding common units not already owned by DCP Midstream, LLC or its subsidiaries (the "Proposal"). While the conflicts committee has been appointed by the board of directors of our General Partner to evaluate the Proposal and any potential transaction with Phillips 66 related to the Proposal (the “Potential
53


Transaction”), there can be no assurances that we will enter into a definitive agreement with Phillips 66 related to any Potential Transaction. Furthermore, if we enter into a definitive agreement with Phillips 66, we anticipate that the consummation of any Potential Transaction will be subject to a number of conditions, and there can be no assurances that such conditions will be satisfied or waived or that any Potential Transaction will be completed in a timely manner or at all.

Article II

Terms of the Loans
    Section 2.01.    Loan Facility. (a) Upon a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02, and on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, the Conduit Lenders, ratably, in accordance with the aggregate of the Commitments of the Related Committed Lenders with respect to each such Conduit Lender, severally and not jointly, may, in their sole discretion, make Loans to the Borrower on a revolving basis, and if and to the extent any Conduit Lender does not make any such requested Loan or if any Group does not include a Conduit Lender, the Related Committed Lender(s) for such Conduit Lender or the Committed Lender for such Group, as the case may be, shall, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments, severally and not jointly, make such Loans to the Borrower, in either case, from time to time during the period on and from the Closing Date to the Termination Date. Under no circumstances shall any Lender be obligated to make any such Loan if, after giving effect to such Loan:
    (i)    the Aggregate Capital plus the LC Participation Amount would exceed the Facility Limit at such time;
    (ii)    the sum of (A) the Capital of such Lender, plus (B) the aggregate outstanding Capital of each other Lender in its Group, plus (C) the related LC Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the LC Participation Amount, would exceed the Group Commitment of such Lender’s Group;
    (iii)    if such Lender is a Committed Lender, the aggregate outstanding Capital of such Committed Lender would exceed its Commitment; or
    (iv)    the Aggregate Capital plus the Adjusted LC Participation Amount would exceed the Borrowing Base at such time.
    (b)    Extension of Scheduled Termination Date. The Borrower may, no more frequently than once each year, request the Committed Lenders to extend the date set forth in the definition of “Scheduled Termination Date” (the “Commitment Termination Date”) for a period of 364 days past the then applicable Commitment Termination Date by delivering written notice to each Group Agent, with such extension to become effective as of the date one or more Committed Lenders shall in their sole discretion consent to such extension. Any such request shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) at no time will any Commitment of any Committed Lender have a term of more than 364 days and, if any such request would result in a term of more than 364 days, such request shall be deemed to have been made for such number of days so that, after giving effect to such extension on the date requested, such term will not exceed 364 days, (ii) none of the Committed Lenders will have any obligation to extend any Commitment, (iii) any such extension of the Commitment Termination Date will be effective only upon the written agreement of at least one Committed Lender and the Borrower and (iv) any request for such extension shall be made not more than one hundred twenty (120) nor less than forty-five (45) days prior to the then current and applicable Commitment Termination Date. The Group Agent for each applicable Committed Lender will respond to any such request within thirty (30)
-42-


days but in any event no earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the then current Commitment Termination Date, provided, that any Group Agent’s failure to respond within such period shall be deemed to be a rejection of the requested extension. If one or more Group Agents (but less than all) does not extend the Scheduled Termination Date, the Commitments of the Committed Lenders in such Group Agent’s Group (each Lender in such Group, a “Non-Renewing Lender”) shall expire on the then current Commitment Termination Date without further action required on the part of any Person and the Scheduled Termination Date shall be extended only with respect to the Committed Lenders that have confirmed the extension of their Commitments to the Borrower in writing on or prior to the then current Commitment Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, no Non-Renewing Lender shall be an LC Participant with respect to any undrawn and unexpired amount of any then outstanding Letters of Credit following the expiration of the Commitments of such Non-Renewing Lender.
    Section 2.02.    Making Loans; Repayment of Loans. (a) Each Loan hereunder shall be made on at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written request from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent in the form of a Loan Request attached hereto as Exhibit A-1, provided that, at any time when PNC (or an Affiliate thereof) is both the Administrative Agent and the sole Group Agent hereunder, if the Borrower enters into a separate written agreement with the Administrative Agent regarding the Administrative Agent’s PINACLE® auto-advance service (or any similar or replacement electronic loan administration service implemented by the Administrative Agent), then any request for a Loan made using such service shall constitute a Loan Request, and each Loan made pursuant to such service shall be made on the date such Loan Request is received by the Administrative Agent. Each such request for a Loan shall be made no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day (it being understood that any such request made after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the following Business Day) and shall specify (i) the amount of the Loan(s) requested (which shall not be less than $100,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000), (ii) the allocation of such amount among the Groups (which shall be ratable based on the Group Commitments), (iii) the account to which the proceeds of such Loan shall be distributed and (iv) the date such requested Loan is to be made (which shall be a Business Day).
    (b)    On the date of each Loan specified in the applicable Loan Request, the Lenders shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI and pursuant to the other conditions set forth in this Article II, make available to the Borrower in same day funds an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Loans requested, at the account set forth in the related Loan Request.
    (c)    Each Committed Lender’s obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any Committed Lender to make available to the Borrower any funds in connection with any Loan shall not relieve any other Committed Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date such Loans are requested (it being understood, that no Committed Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Committed Lender to make funds available to the Borrower in connection with any Loan hereunder).
    (d)    The Borrower shall repay in full the outstanding Capital of each Lender on the Maturity Date. Prior thereto, the Borrower shall, on each Settlement Date, make a prepayment of
-43-


the outstanding Capital of the Lenders to the extent required under Section 4.01 and otherwise in accordance therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower, in its discretion, shall have the right to make a prepayment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding Capital of the Lenders (i) at any time when PNC (or an Affiliate thereof) is both the Administrative Agent and the sole Group Agent hereunder, and to the extent the Borrower has entered into a separate written agreement with the Administrative Agent regarding the Administrative Agent’s PINACLE® auto-advance service (or any similar or replacement electronic loan administration service implemented by the Administrative Agent) pursuant to Section 2.02(a) hereof, on any Business Day, or (ii) otherwise, on any Business Day upon one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent in the form of a Reduction Notice attached hereto as Exhibit D; provided, however, that (i) each such prepayment shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $100,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000 and (ii) any accrued Interest and Fees in respect of such prepaid Capital shall be paid on the immediately following Settlement Date.
    (e)    The Borrower may, at any time upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent, terminate the Facility Limit in whole or ratably reduce the Facility Limit in part. Each partial reduction in the Facility Limit shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000, and no such partial reduction shall reduce the Facility Limit to an amount less than $100,000,000. In connection with any partial reduction in the Facility Limit, the Commitment of each Committed Lender and LC Participant shall be ratably reduced.
    (f)    In connection with any reduction of the Commitments, the Borrower shall remit to the Administrative Agent (i) instructions regarding such reduction and (ii) for payment to the Lenders, cash in an amount sufficient to pay (A) the Capital of the Lenders in each Group in excess of the Group Commitment of such Group and (B) all other outstanding Borrower Obligations with respect to such reduction (determined based on the ratio of the reduction of the Commitments being effected to the amount of the Commitments prior to such reduction or, if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that any portion of the outstanding Borrower Obligations is allocable solely to that portion of the Commitments being reduced or has arisen solely as a result of such reduction, all of such portion) including, without duplication, any associated Breakage Fees. Upon receipt of any such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall apply such amounts first to the reduction of the outstanding Capital, and second to the payment of the remaining outstanding Borrower Obligations with respect to such reduction, including any Breakage Fees, by paying such amounts to the Lenders.
    Section 2.03.    Interest and Fees. (a) On each Settlement Date, the Borrower shall, in accordance with the terms and priorities for payment set forth in Section 4.01, pay to each Group Agent, each Lender, the Administrative Agent, and the Structuring Agent certain fees (collectively, the “Fees”) in the amounts set forth in the fee letter agreements from time to time entered into, among the Borrower, the members of the applicable Group (or their Group Agent on their behalf) and/or the Administrative Agent (each such fee letter agreement, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, collectively being referred to herein as the “Fee Letter”); provided that, notwithstanding anything in the Fee Letter to the contrary, the ESG Margin then in effect shall be added (which ESG Margin, for the avoidance of
-44-


doubt, may be a positive or negative percentage) to the percentages specified in each of the definitions of Drawn Fee, LC Participation Fee, Unused Fee and Commitment Fee (each as defined in the Fee Letter) for purposes of computing each of the foregoing Fees on each such day. Commitment Fees (as defined in the Fee Letter) shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender as provided in Section 2.06.
    (b)    The Capital of each Lender shall accrue interest on each day when such Capital remains outstanding at the then applicable Interest Rate. The Borrower shall pay all Interest, Fees and Breakage Fees accrued during each Interest Period on the immediately following Settlement Date in accordance with the terms and priorities for payment set forth in Section 4.01.
    Section 2.04.    Records of Loans. Each Group Agent shall record in its records, the date and amount of each Loan and Participation Advance made by the Lenders in its Group hereunder, the interest rate with respect thereto, the Interest accrued thereon and each repayment and payment thereof. Subject to Section 14.03(c), such records shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The failure to so record any such information or any error in so recording any such information shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents to repay the Capital of each Lender, together with all Interest accruing thereon and all other Borrower Obligations.
    Section 2.05.    Selection of Interest Rates and Tranche Periods. (a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may from time to time elect the type of Interest Rate and/or Tranche Period borne by each Loan or, subject to the minimum amount requirement for each outstanding Loan set forth in Section 2.02, a portion thereof by notice to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), one (1) Business Day prior to the expiration of any Tranche Period or Interest Period, as applicable; provided, that there shall not be more than ten (10) Loans outstanding for which Interest is computed by reference to LMIR or Adjusted LIBORthe SOFR Rate hereunder at any one time. Any such notices requesting the continuation or conversion of a Loan to the Administrative Agent may be given by telephone, telecopy, or other telecommunication device acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed in writing in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent).
    (b)    If, by the time required in Section 2.05(a), the Borrower fails to select a Tranche Period oran Interest Rate for any Loan, such Loan shall automatically accrue Interest at LMIRDaily 1M SOFR until such time as the Interest Rate is selected by the Borrower in accordance with this Section 2.05.
    Section 2.06.    Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Committed Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Committed Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
    (a)    Commitment Fees (as defined in the Fee Letter) shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender.
-45-


    (b)    The Commitment and Capital of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Majority Group Agents have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 14.01); provided, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 14.01, this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Committed Lender or each Committed Lender directly affected thereby (if such Committed Lender is directly affected thereby).
    (c)    In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Servicer each agrees in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Committed Lender (or a member of such Committed Lender’s Group) shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Committed Lender’s Group to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Percentage; provided, that no adjustments shall be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Committed Lender was a Defaulting Lender, and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

    (a)    From time to time prior to the Termination Date and in accordance with this Section 2.07, the Borrower may, upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) (who shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to each Group Agent), propose to increase the Facility Limit (each such increase, an “Incremental Commitment”); provided, that:

Each Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (2007 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600, and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the LC Bank or the International Standby Practices (ISP98-International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590), and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the LC Bank, as determined by the LC Bank.
    (c)    Immediately upon the issuance by the LC Bank of any Letter of Credit (or any amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof), the LC Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each LC Participant, and each LC Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the LC Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such LC Participant’s Pro Rata Share, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower hereunder with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Commitments or Pro Rata Shares of the LC Participants pursuant to this Agreement, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and unreimbursed drawings thereunder, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this clause (c) to reflect the new Pro Rata Shares of the assignor and assignee LC Participant or of all LC Participants with Commitments, as the case may be. In the event that the LC Bank makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to the LC Bank pursuant to Section 3.04(a), each LC Participant shall be obligated to make Participation Advances with respect to such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 3.04(b).
    Section 3.03.    Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower shall authorize and direct the LC Bank to name the Borrower, an Originator or an Affiliate of an Originator as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit.
    Section 3.04.    Disbursements, Reimbursement. (a) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the LC Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such request. The Borrower shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the LC Bank shall sometimes be referred to as a
-49-


“Reimbursement Obligation”) the LC Bank prior to noon (New York City time), on each date that an amount is paid by the LC Bank under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) in an amount equal to the amount so paid by the LC Bank. The Borrower shall honor its Reimbursement Obligation first, from funds on deposit in the LC Collateral Account, if any, and, second, from its own funds. To the extent the Borrower has not reimbursed the LC Bank any Reimbursement Obligations by noon (New York City time) on the second Business Day occurring after the applicable Drawing Date, the Borrower shall be deemed to have automatically requested a Loan pursuant to Section 2.01 to be funded on the second Business Day occurring after the applicable Drawing Date by noon (New York City time) in an amount equal to the amount necessary to pay any Reimbursement Obligations owing to the LC Bank without (i) the need for the delivery of any Loan Request, (ii) giving effect to any notice requirements applicable to requests for Loans hereunder or (iii) giving effect to the requirement that such Loan be made prior to the Termination Date. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby waive any notice requirements set forth in Section 2.02 in connection with any such Loan that is automatically requested in order to pay any Reimbursement Obligations owing to the LC Bank. In the event the Borrower fails to reimburse the LC Bank for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by noon (New York City time) on the Drawing Date (including because the conditions precedent to a Loan requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.01(a) shall not have been satisfied), the LC Bank will promptly notify each LC Participant thereof. Any notice given by the LC Bank pursuant to this Section may be oral if promptly confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such a prompt written confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such oral notice.
    (b)    Each LC Participant shall upon any notice pursuant to clause (a) above make available to the LC Bank an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount of the drawing (a “Participation Advance”), whereupon the LC Participants shall each be deemed to have made a Loan to the Borrower in that amount. If any LC Participant so notified fails to make available to the LC Bank the amount of such LC Participant’s Pro Rata Share of such amount by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such LC Participant’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such LC Participant makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Bank Funding Rate during the first three days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The LC Bank will promptly give notice to each LC Participant of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the LC Bank to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any LC Participant to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such LC Participant from its obligation under this clause (b). Each LC Participant’s Commitment shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (1) the LC Bank ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder, (2) no Letter of Credit issued hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled or (3) all Credit Parties have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.
    Section 3.05.    Repayment of Participation Advances. (a) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the LC Bank for its account of immediately available funds from or for the account of the Borrower (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by the LC Bank under a Letter of Credit with respect to which any LC Participant has made a Participation Advance to the LC Bank or
-50-


(ii) in payment of Interest on the Loans made or deemed to have been made in connection with any such draw, the LC Bank will pay to each LC Participant, ratably (based on the outstanding drawn amounts funded by each such LC Participant in respect of such Letter of Credit), in the same funds as those received by the LC Bank; it being understood, that the LC Bank shall retain a ratable amount of such funds that were not the subject of any payment in respect of such Letter of Credit by any LC Participant.
    (b)    If the LC Bank is required at any time to return to the Borrower, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of the payments made by the Borrower to the LC Bank pursuant to this Agreement in reimbursement of a payment made under a Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each LC Participant shall, on demand of the LC Bank, forthwith return to the LC Bank the amount of its Pro Rata Share of any amounts so returned by the LC Bank plus interest at the Overnight Bank Funding Rate, from the date the payment was first made to such LC Participant through, but not including, the date the payment is returned by such LC Participant.
    (c)    If any Letters of Credit are outstanding and undrawn on the Termination Date, the LC Collateral Account shall be funded from Collections (or, in the Borrower’s sole discretion, by other funds available to the Borrower) in an amount equal to the aggregate undrawn face amount of such Letters of Credit plus all related fees to accrue through the stated expiration dates thereof (such fees to accrue, as reasonably estimated by the LC Bank, the “LC Fee Expectation”).
    Section 3.06.    Documentation. The Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Credit Application and by the LC Bank’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued for the Borrower and by the LC Bank’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though the LC Bank’s interpretation of such regulations and practices may be different from the Borrower’s own. In the event of a conflict between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. The LC Bank shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following the Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.
    Section 3.07.    Determination to Honor Drawing Request. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the LC Bank shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth.
    Section 3.08.    Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. Each LC Participant’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make Participation Advances as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the obligations of the Borrower to reimburse the LC Bank upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:
-51-

    (ii)    the failure of the Borrower or any other Person to comply with the conditions set forth in this Agreement for the making of a Loan, requests for Letters of Credit or otherwise, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of Participation Advances hereunder;
    (iii)    any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Borrower, the Performance Guarantor, the Servicer, an Originator or any Affiliate thereof on behalf of which a Letter of Credit has been issued may have against the LC Bank, or any other Credit Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;
    (iv)    any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by the Borrower, an Originator, the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof, the LC Bank, or any LC Participant against the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower, the Servicer, the LC Bank or any LC Participant may have at any time against a beneficiary, any successor beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the LC Bank, any other Credit Party or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower or any Affiliates of the Borrower and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);
    (v)    the lack of power or authority of any signer of, or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of, any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit, or any such draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, defective or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, even if the Administrative Agent or the LC Bank has been notified thereof;
    (vi)    payment by the LC Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;
    (vii)    the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;
    (viii)    any failure by the LC Bank or any of the LC Bank’s Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by the Borrower;
-52-


    (ix)    any Material Adverse Effect;
    (x)    any breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by any party thereto;
    (xi)    the occurrence or continuance of an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to the Borrower, the Performance Guarantor, any Originator or any Affiliate thereof;
    (xii)    the fact that an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
    (xiii)    the fact that this Agreement or the obligations of the Borrower or the Servicer hereunder shall have been terminated; and
    (xiv)    any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
    Section 3.09.    Indemnity. In addition to other amounts payable hereunder, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank, each LC Participant, each other Credit Party and each of the LC Bank’s Affiliates that have issued a Letter of Credit from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, Taxes, penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including Attorney Costs) which the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank, any LC Participant, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, except to the extent resulting from (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (b) the wrongful dishonor by the LC Bank of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit, except if such dishonor resulted from any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 3.09 shall not apply to Taxes unless those Taxes represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising as a result of a non-Tax claim that is otherwise subject to the indemnity contained in this Section 3.09.
    Section 3.10.    Liability for Acts and Omissions. As between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, and the other Credit Parties, on the other, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, none of the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, or any other Credit Party shall be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the LC Bank, any LC Participant or any other Credit Party shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part,
-53-


which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, electronic mail, cable, telegraph, telex, facsimile or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, and the other Credit Parties, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the LC Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. In no event shall the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, or the other Credit Parties or their respective Affiliates, be liable to the Borrower or any other Person for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation Attorney Costs), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, and the other Credit Parties and each of their respective Affiliates (i) may rely on any written communication believed in good faith by such Person to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by the LC Bank or its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, or the other Credit Parties or their respective Affiliates, in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each, an “Order”) and may honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.
In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the LC Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and
-54-


without gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not put the LC Bank under any resulting liability to the Borrower, any Credit Party or any other Person.
Article IV

Each Group Agent, upon its receipt in the applicable Group Agent’s Account of any such payments or distributions, shall distribute such amounts to the applicable Lenders, the LC Bank, LC Participants, Affected Persons and the Indemnified Parties within its Group ratably; provided that if such Group Agent shall have received insufficient funds to pay all of the above amounts in full on any such date, such Group Agent shall pay such amounts to the applicable Lenders, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, Affected Persons and the Indemnified Parties within its Group in accordance with the priority of payments set forth above, and with respect to any such category above for which there are insufficient funds to pay all amounts owing on such date, ratably (based on the amounts in such categories owing to each such Person in such Group) among all such Persons in such Group entitled to payment thereof.
-56-

    (ii)    if on any day any of the representations or warranties in Section 7.01 is not true (in all material respects) with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Borrower shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in full (Collections deemed to have been received pursuant to Section 4.01(d) are hereinafter sometimes referred to as “Deemed Collections”);
    (iii)    except as provided in clauses (i) or (ii) above or otherwise required by Applicable Law or the relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied to the Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, unless such Obligor designates in writing its payment for application to specific Receivables;
    (iv)    if and to the extent the Administrative Agent, any Credit Party, any Affected Person or any Indemnified Party shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor (or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding) any amount received by it hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received by such Person but rather to have been retained by the Borrower and, accordingly, such Person shall have a claim against the Borrower for such amount, payable when and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof; and
    (v)    to the extent the Borrower receives or is deemed to receive any Deemed Collection pursuant to Section 4.01(d)(i) or (ii) above, if a Borrowing Base Deficit shall exist at the time the Borrower is deemed to have received such Deemed Collection, or after giving effect to the event giving rise to such Deemed Collection, the Borrower shall deposit such amount in the Collection Account (and to the extent necessary to deposit any
-57-

    (c)    All computations of interest under subsection (b) above and all computations of Interest, Fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of amounts determined by reference to the Base Rate, 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.

Transaction Document or Program Support Agreement), and may commence allocating charges to or seeking compensation from the Borrower under this Section 5.01 in connection with such measures, in advance of the effective date of such Change in Law, and the Borrower agrees to pay such charges or compensation to such Affected Person, following demand therefor in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.01, without regard to whether such effective date has occurred.
    (d)    Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of an Affected Person (or its Group Agent on its behalf) setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower together with all backup information and documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

    (e)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Person’s right to demand such compensation provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section 5.01 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Affected Person notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Person’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 six month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

-60-


or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable 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 5.03), the applicable Credit Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
    (b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without duplication of any amounts paid pursuant to Sections 5.03(a) or 5.03(c), the Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
    (c)    Indemnification by the Borrower. Without duplication of any amounts paid pursuant to Sections 5.03(a) or 5.03(b), the Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party, within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.03) payable or paid by such Credit Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Credit Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Credit Party pursuant to this Section 5.03 for any Indemnified Taxes unless such Credit Party requests compensation from the Borrower not later than 180 days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the relevant Governmental Authority makes written demand upon such Credit Party for payment of such Indemnified Taxes, and (ii) the date on which such Credit Party has made payment of such Indemnified Taxes. A certificate that states the amount of such payment or liability shall be delivered to the Borrower by a Credit Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) together with all backup information and documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Credit Party and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
    (d)    Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender (other than the Conduit Lenders) shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender, its related Conduit Lender or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons (but only to the extent that the Borrower and its Affiliates have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting any obligation of the Borrower, the Servicer or their Affiliates to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to the failure of such Lender, its related Conduit Lender or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons to comply with Section 14.03(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, its related Conduit Lender or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender (or its Group Agent) by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender (other than the Conduit Lenders) hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off
-61-


and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, its related Conduit Lender or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, its related Conduit Lender or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (d).
    (e)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.03, 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.
    (f)    Status of Credit Parties. (i) Any Credit Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction 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 Sections 5.03(f)(ii)(A), 5.03(f)(ii)(B) and 5.03(g)) 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” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Credit Party becomes a party hereto (and from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Credit Party is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

    (C)    any Foreign Credit Party, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient), on or about the date on which such Foreign Credit Party becomes a party hereto (and from time to time 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.
    (g)    Documentation Required by FATCA. If a payment made to a Credit Party under any Transaction 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 Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
-63-


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 (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
    (h)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Credit Party, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the Borrower Obligations and the Servicer’s obligations hereunder.
    (i)    Updates. Each Credit Party agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 5.03 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.
    (j)    Intended Tax Treatment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, all parties to this Agreement covenant and agree to treat each Loan under this Agreement as debt (and all Interest as interest) for all federal, state, local and franchise tax purposes and agree not to take any position on any tax return inconsistent with the foregoing.
    (k)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund (or a credit in lieu of a refund) of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.03), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 5.03 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (k) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (k), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (k) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

Promptly following any change in the Credit and Collection Policy, the Servicer will deliver a copy of the updated Credit and Collection Policy to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent.

    (l)    Security Interest, Etc. The Servicer shall, on behalf of the Borrower, at its expense, take all action reasonably necessary to establish and maintain a valid and enforceable perfected security interest in the Collateral, in each case free and clear of any Adverse Claim, other than Permitted Liens, in favor of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), including taking such action to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interest of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) as the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may reasonably request. Except in connection with the Final Payout Date, notwithstanding anything else in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, the Servicer shall not have any authority to file a termination, partial termination, release, partial release, or any amendment that deletes the Borrower or any Originator or excludes collateral of any such financing statements filed in connection with the Transaction Documents, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
    (m)    Further Assurances.

    Section 8.03.    Separate Existence of the Borrower. Each of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby acknowledges that the Secured Parties, the Group Agents and the Administrative Agent are entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in reliance upon the Borrower’s identity as a legal entity separate from any Originator, the Servicer and their Affiliates. Therefore, each of the Borrower and Servicer shall take all steps specifically required by this Agreement or reasonably required by the Administrative Agent or any Group Agent to continue the Borrower’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it apparent to third Persons that the Borrower is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of the Originators, the Servicer and any other Person, and is not a division of the Originators, the Servicer, its Affiliates or any other Person. Without limiting the
-100-


generality of the foregoing and in addition to and consistent with the other covenants set forth herein, each of the Borrower and the Servicer shall take such actions as shall be required in order that:

For the purposes of this definition, “control” means the possession directly or indirectly of the power to direct or cause the direction of management policies or activities of a person or entity whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
-101-


The Borrower shall (A) give written notice to the Administrative Agent of the election or appointment, or proposed election or appointment, of a new Independent Manager of the Borrower, which notice shall be given not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date such appointment or election would be effective (except when such election or appointment is necessary to fill a vacancy caused by the death, disability, or incapacity of the existing Independent Manager, or the failure of such Independent Manager to satisfy the criteria for an Independent Manager set forth in this clause (c), in which case the Borrower shall provide written notice of such election or appointment within one (1) Business Day) and (B) with any such written notice, certify to the Administrative Agent that the Independent Manager satisfies the criteria for an Independent Manager set forth in this clause (c).
The Borrower’s Limited Liability Company Agreement shall provide that: (A) the Borrower’s board of managers shall not approve, or take any other action to cause the filing of, a voluntary bankruptcy petition with respect to the Borrower unless the Independent Manager shall approve the taking of such action in writing before the taking of such action and (B) such provision and each other provision requiring an Independent Manager cannot be amended without the prior written consent of the Independent Manager.

-102-


make any additional capital contributions to the Borrower. The Borrower will not engage any agents other than its attorneys, auditors and other professionals, and a servicer and any other agent contemplated by the Transaction Documents for the Receivables Pool.
    (g)    Servicing and Costs. The Borrower will contract with the Servicer to perform for the Borrower all operations required on a daily basis to service the Receivables Pool and operate the Borrower’s business. Except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, the Borrower will not incur any material indirect or overhead expenses for items shared with the Servicer (or any other Affiliate thereof) that are not reflected in the Servicing Fee. To the extent, if any, that the Borrower (or any Affiliate thereof) shares items of expenses not reflected in the Servicing Fee, such as legal, auditing and other professional services, such expenses will be allocated to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or the value of services rendered, and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to the actual use or the value of services rendered.

    (j)    Disclosure of Transactions.

The Borrower will strictly observe corporate formalities in its dealings with the Parent Group, and funds or other assets of the Borrower will not be commingled with those of the any member of the Parent Group thereof except as permitted by this Agreement in connection with servicing the Pool Receivables. The Borrower shall not maintain joint bank accounts or other depository accounts to which a member of the Parent Group (other than the Servicer solely in its
-103-


capacity as such) has independent access. The Borrower is not named, and has not entered into any agreement to be named, directly or indirectly, as a direct or contingent beneficiary or loss payee on any insurance policy with respect to any loss relating to the property of any member of the Parent Group. The Borrower will pay to the appropriate Affiliate the marginal increase or, in the absence of such increase, the market amount of its portion of the premium payable with respect to any insurance policy that covers the Borrower and such Affiliate.
    (m)    Arm’s-Length Relationships. The Borrower will maintain arm’s-length relationships with each member of the Parent Group. Any Person that renders or otherwise furnishes services to the Borrower will be compensated by the Borrower at market rates for such services it renders or otherwise furnishes to the Borrower. Neither the Borrower on the one hand, nor any member of the Parent Group, on the other hand, will be or will hold itself out to be responsible for the debts of the other or the decisions or actions respecting the daily business and affairs of the other. The Borrower and each member of the Parent Group will promptly correct any known misrepresentation with respect to the foregoing, and they will not operate or purport to operate as an integrated single economic unit with respect to each other or in their dealing with any other entity.
    (n)    Allocation of Overhead. To the extent that Borrower, on the one hand, and a member of the Parent Group, on the other hand, have offices in the same location, there shall be a fair and appropriate allocation of overhead costs between them, and the Borrower shall bear its fair share of such expenses, which may be paid through the Servicing Fee or otherwise.
    Section 8.04.    Covenant of Parent. At all times from the Closing Date until the Final Payout Date, Parent hereby covenants that it will not sell, assign, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its assets to the Borrower except for sales, assignments, conveyances, transfer or other dispositions of (a) Receivables, Related Security and Collections with respect to Receivables, (b) other Sold Assets and (c) financial assets, securities, bonds, cash, cash equivalents, deposits and other similar financial instruments.
Article IX

Administration and Collection of Receivables
    Section 9.01.    Appointment of the Servicer. (a) The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as the Servicer in accordance with this Section 9.01. Until the Administrative Agent gives notice to DCP (in accordance with this Section 9.01) of the designation of a new Servicer, DCP is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Majority Group Agents) and shall (at the direction of the Majority Group Agents) designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed DCP or any successor Servicer, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree in writing to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. The Servicer
-104-


shall be entitled to payment of all Servicing Fees and reimbursable expenses accrued prior to the date of such termination.
    (b)    Upon the designation of a successor Servicer as set forth in clause (a) above, DCP agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and DCP shall cooperate with and assist such new Servicer. Such cooperation shall include access to and transfer of records (including all Contracts) related to Pool Receivables and use by the new Servicer of all licenses (or the obtaining of new licenses), hardware or software reasonably necessary to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security.
    (c)    DCP acknowledges that, in making its decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and each member in each Group have relied on DCP’s agreement to act as Servicer hereunder. Accordingly, DCP agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Servicer without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents.
    (d)    The Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any subservicer (each a “Sub-Servicer”); provided, that, in each such delegation: (i) such Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the delegated duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Group Agent shall have the right to look solely to the Servicer for performance, (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer shall provide that the Administrative Agent may terminate such agreement upon the termination of the Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to the Servicer (and the Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to each such Sub-Servicer) and (v) if such Sub-Servicer is not an Affiliate of DCP, the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.01(d) shall not apply to any third party collection agency collecting Defaulted Receivables or other third party service provider assisting in the servicing of the Defaulted Receivables.
    Section 9.02.    Duties of the Servicer. (a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary (i) to service, administer and collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all Applicable Laws, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and consistent with the past practices of the Originators and (ii) to comply with its obligations under Section 8.03 and the other Transaction Documents. The Servicer shall set aside (or shall cause the Borrower to set aside), for the accounts of the Borrower and each Group, the amount of Collections to which each such Group is entitled in accordance with Article IV hereof. The Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and consistent with past practices of the Originators, take such action, including modifications, waivers or restructurings of Pool Receivables and related Contracts (including extending the maturity of any Pool Receivable and extending the maturity or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Defaulted Receivable), as the Servicer may reasonably determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof or reflect
-105-


adjustments expressly permitted under the Credit and Collection Policy or as expressly required under Applicable Laws or the applicable Contract; provided, that for purposes of this Agreement: (i) such action shall not, and shall not be deemed to, change the number of days such Pool Receivable has remained unpaid from the date of the original due date related to such Pool Receivable, (ii) such action shall not alter the status of such Pool Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of any Secured Party under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (iii) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon notice from the Administrative Agent that it wants consent rights over such actions, the Servicer may take such action only upon the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall deliver to the Servicer and the Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (individually and for the benefit of each Group), in accordance with their respective interests, all records and documents (including computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Pool Receivable that is a Defaulted Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security with respect to any such Defaulted Receivable.
    (b)    The Servicer shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following actual receipt of collected funds, turn over to the Borrower the collections of any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, less, if DCP or an Affiliate thereof is not the Servicer, all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Servicer of servicing, collecting and administering such collections. The Servicer, if other than DCP or an Affiliate thereof, shall, as soon as reasonably practicable upon written demand, deliver to the Borrower all records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, and copies of records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is a Pool Receivable.
    (c)    The Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall terminate on the Final Payout Date. Promptly following the Final Payout date, if DCP or an Affiliate thereof was not the Borrower on the date of such termination the Servicer shall deliver to the Borrower all books, records and related materials that the Borrower previously provided to the Servicer, or that have been obtained by the Servicer, in connection with this Agreement.
    Section 9.03.    Collection Account Arrangements. Prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower shall have entered into Account Control Agreements with all of the Collection Account Banks and delivered executed counterparts of each to the Administrative Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Majority Group Agents) and shall (upon the direction of the Majority Group Agents) at any time thereafter give notice to each Collection Account Bank that the Administrative Agent is exercising its rights under the Account Control Agreements to do any or all of the following: (a) to have the exclusive ownership and control of the Collection Accounts transferred to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and to exercise exclusive dominion and control over the funds deposited therein, (b) to have the proceeds that are sent to the respective Collection Accounts redirected pursuant to the Administrative Agent’s instructions rather than deposited in the applicable Collection Account and (c) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Account Control Agreement. The Borrower hereby
-106-


agrees that if the Administrative Agent at any time takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables on deposit therein and the Borrower hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to transfer such control. Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by the Borrower or the Servicer thereafter shall be sent immediately to, or as otherwise instructed by, the Administrative Agent. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that if at any time the Administrative Agent exercises its control of any Collection Account, the Administrative Agent shall not have any rights to the funds therein in excess of the unpaid amounts due to the Administrative Agent, any member of any Group, any Indemnified Party or Affected Person or any other Person hereunder, and the Administrative Agent shall distribute or cause to be distributed such funds in accordance with Article II (in each case as if such funds were held by the Servicer thereunder).
    Section 9.04.    Enforcement Rights. (a) At any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Group Agent or any Lender under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
    (b)    Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Group Agent and each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives an Erroneous Payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (i) that is in an amount different than (other than a de minimis difference), 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 Erroneous Payment (an “Erroneous Payment Notice”), or (ii) that was not preceded or accompanied by an Erroneous Payment Notice, it shall be on notice that, in each such case, an error has been made with respect to such Erroneous Payment.

    (d)    Each party’s obligations under this Section 11.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Group Agent or a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Borrower Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

A Group Agent and any of its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof or any of their respective Affiliates, all as if such Group Agent were not a Group Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other Secured Party.
    Section 12.04.    Indemnification of Group Agents. Each Committed Lender in any Group agrees to indemnify the Group Agent for such Group (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof), ratably according to the proportion of the Pro Rata Percentage of such Committed Lender to the aggregate Pro Rata Percentages of all Committed Lenders in such Group, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Group Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any action taken or omitted by such Group Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that no Committed Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Group Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
    Section 12.05.    Delegation of Duties. Each Group Agent may execute any of its duties through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Group Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
    Section 12.06.    Notice of Events of Default. No Group Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default unless such Group Agent has received notice from the Administrative Agent, any other Group Agent, any other Credit Party, the Servicer or the Borrower stating that an Unmatured Event of
-118-


Default or Event of Default has occurred hereunder and describing such Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default. If a Group Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Credit Parties in its Group and to the Administrative Agent (but only if such notice received by such Group Agent was not sent by the Administrative Agent). A Group Agent may take such action concerning an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default as may be directed by Committed Lenders in its Group representing a majority of the Commitments in such Group (subject to the other provisions of this Article XII), but until such Group Agent receives such directions, such Group Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as such Group Agent deems advisable and in the best interests of the Conduit Lenders and Committed Lenders in its Group.
    Section 12.07.    Non-Reliance on Group Agent and Other Parties. Each Credit Party expressly acknowledges that neither the Group Agent for its Group nor any of such Group Agent’s directors, officers, agents or employees has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by such Group Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Group Agent. Each Credit Party represents and warrants to the Group Agent for its Group that, independently and without reliance upon such Group Agent, any other Group Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof and the Receivables and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under any Transaction Document. Except for items expressly required to be delivered under any Transaction Document by a Group Agent to any Credit Party in its Group, no Group Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Credit Party in its Group with any information concerning the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof that comes into the possession of such Group Agent or any of its directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
    Section 12.08.    Successor Group Agent. Any Group Agent may, upon at least thirty (30) days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Servicer and the Credit Parties in its Group, resign as Group Agent for its Group. Such resignation shall not become effective until a successor Group Agent is appointed by the Lender(s) in such Group. Upon such acceptance of its appointment as Group Agent for such Group hereunder by a successor Group Agent, such successor Group Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the resigning Group Agent, and the resigning Group Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents. After any resigning Group Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article XII and Article XIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Group Agent.
    Section 12.09.    Reliance on Group Agent. Unless otherwise advised in writing by a Group Agent or by any Credit Party in such Group Agent’s Group, each party to this Agreement may assume that (i) such Group Agent is acting for the benefit and on behalf of each of the Credit Parties in its Group, as well as for the benefit of each assignee or other transferee from any such Person and (ii) each action taken by such Group Agent has been duly authorized and approved by all necessary action on the part of the Credit Parties in its Group.

Article XIII

Indemnification
    Section 13.01.    Indemnities by the Borrower. (a) Without limiting any other rights that the Administrative Agent, the Credit Parties, the Affected Persons and their respective assigns, officers, directors, agents and employees (each, an “Indemnified Party”) may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities (including Attorney Costs) (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Borrower Indemnified Amounts”) arising out of or resulting from this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the use of proceeds of the Credit Extensions or the security interest in respect of any Pool Receivable or any other Collateral; excluding, however, (x) Borrower Indemnified Amounts (i) to the extent a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Borrower Indemnified Amounts resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification and (ii) to the extent such Borrower Indemnified Amounts arise due to the credit risk of an Obligor and for which reimbursement would constitute recourse to any Originator or the Servicer for uncollectible Receivables and (y) Taxes that are covered by Section 5.03. Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay on written demand (which demand shall be accompanied by documentation of the Borrower Indemnified Amounts in reasonable detail) (it being understood that if any portion of such payment obligation is made from Collections, such payment will be made at the time and in the order of priority set forth in Section 4.01), to each Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary to indemnify such Indemnified Party from and against any and all Borrower Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from any of the following (but excluding Borrower Indemnified Amounts and Taxes described in clauses (x) and (y) above):
    (i)    any Pool Receivable which the Borrower or the Servicer includes as an Eligible Receivable as part of the Net Receivables Pool Balance but which is not an Eligible Receivable at such time;
    (ii)    any written representation, warranty or statement made or deemed made by the Borrower (or any of its respective officers) under or in connection with this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents, any Information Package or any other written information or report (other than projections, forward-looking statements and information of a general economic or industry nature) delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant hereto which shall have been untrue or incorrect when made or deemed made;
    (iii)    the failure by the Borrower to comply with any Applicable Law with respect to any Pool Receivable or the related Contract; or the failure of any Pool Receivable or the related Contract to conform to any such Applicable Law;
    (iv)    the failure to vest in the Administrative Agent a perfected security interest in all or any portion of the Collateral, in each case free and clear of any Adverse Claim
-120-


(other than Permitted Liens) or any Person other than an Indemnified Party having any enforceable ownership interest or perfected Lien in all or any portion of the Collateral;
    (v)    the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements, financing statement amendments, continuation statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other Applicable Laws with respect to any Pool Receivable and the other Collateral and Collections in respect thereof, whether at the time of any Credit Extension or at any subsequent time;
    (vi)    any dispute, claim or defense (other than any reduction, revision or discharge in bankruptcy) of an Obligor to the payment of any Pool Receivable (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Pool Receivable or the related Contract not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from or relating to collection activities with respect to such Pool Receivable, or the sale of goods or the rendering of services related to such Pool Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish any such goods or services or other similar claim or defense not arising from the financial inability of any Obligor to pay undisputed indebtedness;
    (vii)    any failure of the Borrower to perform any of its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions hereof and of each other Transaction Document related to Pool Receivables or to timely and fully comply with the Credit and Collection Policy in regard to each Pool Receivable;
    (viii)    any products liability, environmental or other claim arising out of or in connection with any Pool Receivable or other merchandise, goods or services which are the subject of or related to any Pool Receivable;
    (ix)    the commingling of Collections of Pool Receivables at any time with other funds;
    (x)    any investigation, litigation or proceeding (actual or threatened) brought by a Person other than an Indemnified Party related to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the use of proceeds of any Credit Extensions or in respect of any Pool Receivable or other Collateral or any related Contract;
    (xi)    any failure of the Borrower to comply with its covenants, obligations and agreements contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;
    (xii)    any setoff with respect to any Pool Receivable;
    (xiii)    any claim brought by any Person other than an Indemnified Party arising from any activity by the Borrower or the Servicer (if an Affiliate of the Borrower) in servicing, administering or collecting any Pool Receivable;
-121-


    (xiv)    any failure of a Collection Account Bank to comply with the terms of the applicable Account Control Agreement or any amounts payable by the Administrative Agent to a Collection Account Bank under any Account Control Agreement, or the termination of any Account Control Agreement by a Collection Account Bank, or any amounts payable by the Administrative Agent to a Collection Account Bank pursuant to the applicable Account Control Agreement;
    (xv)    any action taken by the Administrative Agent as attorney-in-fact for the Borrower, any Originator or the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;
    (xvi)    the use of proceeds of any Credit Extension;
    (xvii)    any reduction in Capital as a result of the distribution of Collections if all or a portion of such distributions shall thereafter be rescinded or otherwise must be returned for any reason; or
    (xviii)    the failure to provide each Obligor with an invoice or other statements evidencing amounts owed under each applicable Pool Receivable.
    (b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, solely for purposes of the Borrower’s indemnification obligations in clauses (ii), (iii), (vii) and (xi) of this Article XIII, any representation, warranty or covenant qualified by the occurrence or non-occurrence of a material adverse effect or similar concepts of materiality shall be deemed to be not so qualified.
    (c)    If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Borrower shall contribute to such Indemnified Party the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Borrower on the one hand and such Indemnified Party on the other hand in the matters contemplated by this Agreement as well as the relative fault of the Borrower and such Indemnified Party with respect to such loss, claim, damage or liability and any other relevant equitable considerations. The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Borrower may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to each Indemnified Party, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Borrower and the Indemnified Parties.
    (d)    Any indemnification or contribution under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
    Section 13.02.    Indemnification by the Servicer. (a) The Servicer shall indemnify the Indemnified Parties for any and all claims, losses and liabilities resulting from: (i) the failure of any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Servicer (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party to have been true and correct as of the date made or deemed made, (ii) the failure by the
-122-


Servicer to comply with any applicable Laws, rule or regulation with respect to any Pool Receivable or the related Contract, (iii) any dispute, claim, offset or defense of an Obligor (other than as a result of discharge in bankruptcy with respect to such Obligor) to the payment of any Pool Receivable to the extent resulting from the failure of the Servicer to comply with its obligations hereunder in respect of such Receivable, (iv) any failure of the Servicer to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions hereof or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party, or (v) the commingling of Collections of Pool Receivables at any time with other funds of the Servicer.
    (b)    Promptly upon receipt by any Indemnified Party under this Section 13.02 of notice of the commencement of any suit, action, claim, proceeding or governmental investigation against such Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Servicer hereunder, notify the Servicer in writing of the commencement thereof. Any notice claiming compensation under this Section shall set forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Servicer may participate in and assume the defense and settlement of any such suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation at its expense, and no settlement thereof shall be made without the approval of the Servicer and the Indemnified Party. The approval of the Servicer will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. After notice from the Servicer to the Indemnified Party of its intention to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Group Agents, and so long as the Servicer so assumes the defense thereof in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Group Agents, the Servicer shall not be liable for any legal expenses of counsel unless there shall be a conflict between the interests of the Servicer and the Indemnified Party, in which case the Indemnified Party(ies) shall have the right to employ one counsel to so represent it (them).
    (c)    The Servicer will promptly pay to the Group Agent for the Indemnified Party such indemnity amount as shall be specified to the Servicer in a certificate of the Indemnified Party (or its Group Agent, on its behalf) setting forth the calculations of such amount, together with the basis therefor. Any such certificate submitted by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
    (d)    Each Indemnified Party, on behalf of itself, its assigns, officers, directors, officers and employees, shall use its good faith efforts to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any losses, expenses or claims for indemnification.
    (e)    Any indemnification or contribution under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Article XIV

Miscellaneous
    Section 14.01.    Amendments, Etc. (a) No failure on the part of any Credit Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
-123-


the exercise of any other right. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by either the Borrower or the Servicer shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents (and, in the case of any amendment, also signed by the Borrower), and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that (A) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Servicer, affect the rights or duties of the Servicer under this Agreement; (B) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent:

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent on its behalf, and without further consent, to enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement (including, without limitation, amendments to this Section 14.01) as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to effectuate the terms of Section 2.07 (including, without limitation, as applicable, i. to permit the Incremental Commitment to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and ii. to include the Incremental Commitment, as applicable, or outstanding Incremental Commitment, as applicable, in any determination of (i) Majority Group Agents or (ii) similar required lender terms applicable thereto); provided that no amendment or modification shall result in any increase in the amount of any Lender’s Commitment without the written consent of such affected Lender.

Notices and communications by facsimile shall be effective when sent (and shall be followed by hard copy sent by regular mail), notices and communications sent by email shall be effective when confirmed by electronic receipt or otherwise acknowledged, and notices and communications sent by other means shall be effective when received.
    Section 14.03.    Assignability; Addition of Lenders.
    (a)    Assignment by Conduit Lenders. This Agreement and the rights of each Conduit Lender hereunder (including each Loan made by it hereunder) shall be assignable by such Conduit Lender and its successors and permitted assigns (i) to any Program Support Provider of such Conduit Lender without prior notice to or consent from the Borrower or any other party, or any other condition or restriction of any kind, (ii) to any other Lender with prior notice to the Borrower but without consent from the Borrower or (iii) with the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that such consent shall not be required if an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to any other Eligible Assignee. Each assignor of a Loan or any interest therein may, in connection with the assignment or participation, disclose to the assignee or Participant any information relating to the Borrower and its Affiliates, including the Receivables, furnished to such assignor by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates or by the Administrative Agent; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or Participant agrees to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Borrower and its Affiliates received by it from any of the foregoing entities in a manner consistent with Section 14.06(b).
    (b)    Assignment by Committed Lenders. Each Committed Lender may assign to any Eligible Assignee or to any other Committed Lender all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and any Loan or interests therein owned by it); provided, however that
    (i)    except for an assignment by a Committed Lender to either an Affiliate of such Committed Lender or any other Committed Lender, each such assignment shall require the prior written consent of the Borrower and the LC Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that in the case of the Borrower, such consent shall not be required if an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing);
    (ii)    each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement;
    (iii)    the amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement with respect to such
-125-


assignment) shall in no event be less than the lesser of (x) $10,000,000 and (y) all of the assigning Committed Lender’s Commitment; and
    (iv)    the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement.
Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement, and to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Committed Lender hereunder and (y) the assigning Committed Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, relinquish such rights and be released from such obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Committed Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Committed Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
    (c)    Register. The Administrative Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to on Schedule III of this Agreement (or such other address of the Administrative Agent notified by the Administrative Agent to the other parties hereto) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Committed Lenders and the Conduit Lenders, the Commitment of each Committed Lender and the aggregate outstanding Capital (and stated interest) of the Loans of each Conduit Lender and Committed Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Group Agents, and the other Credit Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Committed Lender or Conduit Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Servicer, any Group Agent, any Conduit Lender or any Committed Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
    (d)    Procedure. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed and delivered by an assigning Committed Lender and an Eligible Assignee or assignee Committed Lender, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement has been duly completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and the Servicer.
    (e)    Participations. Each Committed Lender may sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and/or obligations
-126-


under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the interests in the Loans owned by it); provided, however, that
    (i)    such Committed Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged,
    (ii)    such Committed Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to this Agreement for the performance of such obligations, and
    (iii)    such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.01 or 5.03, with respect to any participation, than its participating Committed Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.
The Administrative Agent, the Group Agents, the Conduit Lenders, the other Committed Lenders, the Borrower and the Servicer shall have the right to continue to deal solely and directly with such Committed Lender in connection with such Committed Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.
    (f)    Participant Register. Each Committed Lender 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 this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Committed Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letters of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Committed Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
    (g)    Assignments by Agents. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent herein shall be assignable by the Administrative Agent or such Group Agent, as the case may be, and its successors and assigns; provided that in the case of an assignment to a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Group Agent, so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such assignment shall require the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
    (h)    Assignments by the Borrower or the Servicer. Neither the Borrower nor, except as provided in Section 9.01, the Servicer may assign any of its respective rights or obligations
-127-


hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent (such consent to be provided or withheld in the sole discretion of such Person).
    (i)    Addition of Lenders or Groups. The Borrower may, with written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent, add additional Persons as Lenders (by creating a new Group) or cause an existing Lender or LC Participant to increase its Commitment; provided, however, that the Commitment of any existing Lender or LC Participant may only be increased with the prior written consent of such Lender or LC Participant. Each new Lender or LC Participant (or Group) shall become a party hereto, by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, an assumption agreement (each, an “Assumption Agreement”) in the form of Exhibit C hereto (which Assumption Agreement shall, in the case of any new Lender, be executed by each Person in such new Lender’s Group).
    (j)    Pledge to a Federal Reserve Bank. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any Lender, Program Support Provider or any of their respective Affiliates may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its interest in, to and under this Agreement (including, without limitation, rights to payment of Capital and Interest) and any other Transaction Document to secure its obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or the consent of the Borrower, the Servicer, any Affiliate thereof or any Credit Party; provided, however, that that no such pledge shall relieve such assignor of its obligations under this Agreement.
    (k)    Pledges by Conduit Lenders and CP Issuers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including this Section 14.03), any Conduit Lender or CP Issuer may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, rights to payment of the principal balance of a Loan and any Interest thereon) to any Conduit Trustee without notice to or consent of the Borrower (and without entering into an Assumption Agreement); provided, that no such pledge or grant of security interest shall release such CP Conduit or CP Issuer from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such Conduit Trustee for such CP Conduit or CP Issuer as a party hereto.
    Section 14.04.    Costs and Expenses. In addition to the rights of indemnification granted under Section 13.01 hereof, the Borrower agrees to pay on written demand (which demand shall be accompanied by documentation thereof in reasonable detail) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, any Program Support Agreement (or any supplement or amendment thereof) specifically related to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (together with all amendments, restatements, supplements, consents and waivers, if any, from time to time hereto and thereto), including, without limitation, (i) the reasonable Attorney Costs for a single counsel to the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties and any of their respective Affiliates with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates as to their rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and (ii) reasonable accountants’, auditors’ and consultants’ fees and expenses for the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties and any of their respective Affiliates and the fees and charges of any nationally recognized statistical
-128-


rating agency incurred in connection with the administration and maintenance of this Agreement or advising the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party as to their rights and remedies under this Agreement or as to any actual or reasonably claimed breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay on written demand (which demand shall be accompanied by documentation thereof in reasonable detail) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable Attorney Costs for a single counsel to the Administrative Agent), of the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates, incurred in connection with the enforcement of any of their respective rights or remedies under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
    Section 14.05.    No Proceedings; Limitation on Payments. (a) Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Servicer, each Group Agent, each Lender and each assignee of a Loan or any interest therein, hereby covenants and agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Conduit Lender any Insolvency Proceeding so long as any Notes or other senior indebtedness issued by such Conduit Lender shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on which any such Notes or other senior indebtedness shall have been outstanding.
    (b)    Each of the Servicer, each Group Agent, the LC Bank, each Lender and each assignee of a Loan or any interest therein, hereby covenants and agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Borrower any Insolvency Proceeding until one year and one day after the Final Payout Date; provided, that the Administrative Agent may take any such action in its sole discretion following the occurrence of an Event of Default.
    (c)    Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, a Conduit Lender shall not, and shall be under no obligation to, pay any amount, if any, payable by it pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless (i) such Conduit Lender has received funds which may be used to make such payment and which funds are not required to repay such Conduit Lender’s Notes when due and (ii) after giving effect to such payment, either (x) such Conduit Lender could issue Notes to refinance all of its outstanding Notes (assuming such outstanding Notes matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing such Conduit Lender’s securitization program or (y) all of such Conduit Lender’s Notes are paid in full. Any amount which any Conduit Lender does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or company obligation of such Conduit Lender for any such insufficiency unless and until such Conduit Lender satisfies the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above.

For purposes of the foregoing, (i) the ESG Margin shall be applied as of the fifth business day following receipt by the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the failure to deliver an ESG Certificate under this
-134-


Section shall not constitute an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default.of an ESG Certificate (each such date, an “ESG Margin Adjustment Date”) and (ii) each change in the Drawn Fee, LC Participation Fee, Unused Fee and Commitment Fee (each as defined in the Fee Letter) resulting from an ESG Certificate shall be effective during the period commencing on and including the applicable ESG Margin Adjustment Date and ending on the date immediately preceding the next such ESG Margin Adjustment Date (or, in the case of non-delivery of an ESG Certificate, the last day such ESG Certificate should have been delivered pursuant to the terms hereof).

(ii)    If a proper calculation of the TRIR Among Peers or the GHG Intensity (YoY Change) would have resulted in a decrease in the Drawn Fee, LC Participation Fee, Unused Fee or Commitment Fee for any period, then, commencing on the first Business Day after receipt by the Administrative Agent of notice from such Lender or the Borrower of such ESG Certificate Inaccuracy (which notice shall include corrections to the calculations of the TRIR Among Peers or the GHG Intensity (YoY Change), as applicable), the Drawn Fee, LC Participation Fee, Unused Fee or Commitment Fee shall be adjusted to reflect the corrected calculations of the TRIR Among Peers or the GHG Intensity (YoY Change), as applicable. For the avoidance of any doubt, the parties agree that any such adjustment to reflect a decrease in the Drawn Fee, LC Participation Fee, Unused Fee or Commitment Fee for any period shall only be effective on a prospective basis from date of such adjustment and shall not require any adjustments to amounts previously paid by the Borrower prior to the discovery of an ESG Certificate Inaccuracy.
-135-


(iii)    Any ESG Certificate Inaccuracy shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default; provided that the Borrower complies with clause (b)(i) above with respect to such ESG Certificate Inaccuracy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless such amounts shall be due upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, (x) any additional amounts required to be paid pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall not be due and payable until the applicable Certificate Inaccuracy Payment Date, (y) any nonpayment of such additional amounts prior to the Certificate Inaccuracy Payment Date shall not constitute a Default (whether retroactively or otherwise) and (z) none of such additional amounts shall be deemed overdue prior to the Certificate Inaccuracy Payment Date or shall accrue interest at any default rate prior to the Certificate Inaccuracy Payment Date.
(iv)    The Borrower will, promptly upon becoming aware of an ESG Certificate Inaccuracy, furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender written notice of such ESG Certificate Inaccuracy.
(c)    Amendments.

For the avoidance of doubt, such pricing adjustments shall not be cumulative year-over-year, and each applicable adjustment shall only apply until the date on which the next adjustment is due to take place. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Agent and the Borrower may, without the consent of any Lender, amend, modify, or supplement the ESG Provisions to (A) cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency, or (B) reflect technical changes in calculation or reporting methodologies applicable pursuant to the ESG Provisions; provided that, in each case of the foregoing clause (A) and (B), such amendments, modifications, or supplements are either (x) consistent with generally accepted industry standards applicable to sustainability-linked financing in the syndicated loan market for companies of substantially the same creditworthiness and industry as the Borrower, or (y) not
