ARTICLE II THE CREDITS SECTION 2.01. Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Loans to the Borrower at any time and from time to time until 60 days after the date hereof (the "Availability Period") up to the amount of such Lender's Available Commitment, subject, however, to the conditions that (i) at no time shall Loans outstanding exceed the Total Commitment, (ii) at no time shall any Lender's outstanding Loans exceed the amount of such Lender's Commitment, and (iii) at no time shall the outstanding Loans available to the Borrower exceed the Total Commitment. Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay Loans pursuant to Section 2.09 on and after the date hereof and prior to the Maturity Date subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, provided, however, that once any amount is repaid or prepaid in accordance with Section 2.09 (and excluding deemed repayments and prepayments under Section 2.02(d)), such amount may not be reborrowed by the Borrower. 15 SECTION 2.02. Loans. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). The Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $25,000,000 (or an aggregate principal amount equal to the remaining balance of the Available Commitments). (b) Each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time. (c) Subject to paragraph (d) below, each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Agent in New York, New York, not later than noon, New York City time, and the Agent shall by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, credit the amounts so received to the account or accounts specified from time to time in one or more notices delivered by the Borrower to the Agent or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders. Loans shall be made by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with Section 2.12. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender's portion of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this paragraph (c) and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Agent, such Lender and the Borrower (without waiving any claim against such Lender for such Lender's failure to make such portion available) severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. (d) The Borrower may refinance all or any part of any Borrowing with a Borrowing of the same or a different Type, subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement. Any Borrowing or part thereof so refinanced shall be deemed to be repaid or prepaid in accordance with Section 2.05 or 2.09, as applicable, with the proceeds of a new Borrowing, and 16 the proceeds of the new Borrowing, to the extent they do not exceed the principal amount of the Borrowing being refinanced, shall not be paid by the Lenders to the Agent or by the Agent to the Borrower pursuant to paragraph (c) above. SECTION 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy to the Agent a duly completed Borrowing Request in the form of Exhibit A (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before such Borrowing, (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before such Borrowing, and (iii) in the case of the initial Borrowing, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of such Borrowing. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall in each case specify (A) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (B) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount thereof, (C) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto, which shall not end after the Maturity Date, and (D) the location and number of the Borrower's account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of this Agreement. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be deemed an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration (subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of "Interest Period"). If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.03 of its election to refinance a Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing, then the Borrower shall (unless such Borrowing is repaid at the end of such Interest Period) be deemed to have given notice of an election to refinance such Borrowing with an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Borrowing shall be requested if the Interest Period with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date. The Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 and of each Lender's portion of the requested Borrowing. SECTION 2.04. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender, through the Agent, on each last day of the month following March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 (with the first payment being due on April 30, 2004) and on each date on which the Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated or reduced as provided herein, a commitment fee (a "Commitment Fee"), at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Percentage from time to time in effect on the unused portion of the Commitment of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing on the date of this Agreement or ending on the Maturity Date or any date on which the Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated). All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. The Commitment Fee due to each Lender shall commence to accrue on the date of this Agreement, and shall cease to accrue on the date of termination of the Commitment of such Lender as provided herein. (b) The Borrower agrees to pay the Agent the fees from time to time payable to it in its capacity as Agent pursuant to the Letter Agreements (the "Administrative Fees"). 17 (c) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances. SECTION 2.05. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) The outstanding principal balance of each Loan shall be due and payable on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and on the Maturity Date. (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. (c) The Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type of each Loan made and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender's share thereof. (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 2.05 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the outstanding Loans in accordance with their terms. SECTION 2.06. Interest on Loans. (a) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect. (b) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of (i) 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, for periods during which the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate and (ii) 360 days for other periods) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect. (c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The applicable LIBO Rate or Alternate Base Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by CSFB, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, provided that CSFB shall, upon request, provide to the Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. 18 SECTION 2.07. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Agent shall have determined (i) that dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Eurodollar Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market or (ii) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate, the Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give telecopy notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination under clause (i) or (ii) above, until the Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing. In the event the Required Lenders notify the Agent that the rates at which dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period, the Agent shall notify the Borrower of such notice and until the Required Lenders shall have advised the Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be deemed a request for an ABR Borrowing. Each determination by the Agent hereunder shall be made in good faith and shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the Agent, shall, upon request, provide to the Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. SECTION 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date. (b) On each day following the last day of the Availability Period on which the Total Commitment shall exceed the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding, the Total Commitment shall automatically reduce by an amount equal to such excess. (c) Upon at least two Business Days' prior irrevocable written notice to the Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Total Commitment; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the Total Commitment shall be in an integral multiple of $10,000,000 and in a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000 and (ii) no such termination or reduction shall be made that would reduce the Total Commitment to an amount less than (1) the aggregate amount of outstanding Loans on the date of such termination or reduction (after giving effect to any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.09) or (2) $50,000,000, unless the result of such termination or reduction referred to in this clause (2) is to reduce the Total Commitment to $0. The Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.08(c) and of each Lender's portion of any such termination or reduction of the Total Commitment. (d) Each reduction in the Total Commitment hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction of the Total Commitment, the Commitment Fees on the amount of the Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued through the date of such termination or reduction. 19 SECTION 2.09. Prepayment. (a) Optional. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon giving telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by telecopy) to the Agent: (i) before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to prepayment, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and (ii) before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day prior to prepayment, in the case of ABR Loans; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $10,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing (or portion thereof) by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. (b) Mandatory. On the date of receipt by (i) or on behalf of the Borrower of any Net Cash Proceeds, (ii) TXU Australia or any other person of any TXU Australia Net Cash Proceeds, (iii) TXU Energy or any other person of any TXU Energy Net Cash Proceeds, or (iv) TXU Gas or any other person of any TXU Gas Proceeds, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans, in an amount equal to the Mandatory Prepayment Amount, together with accrued interest on such Loans to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid. (c) All prepayments under this Section 2.09 shall be subject to Section 8.05 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.09 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of payment. SECTION 2.10. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if after the date of this Agreement any change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender hereunder (except for changes in respect of taxes on the overall net income of such Lender (as the case may be) or its lending office imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Lender's principal executive office or lending office is located), or shall result in the imposition, modification or applicability of any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender or shall result in the imposition on any Lender or the London interbank market of any other condition affecting this Agreement, such Lender's Commitment or any Loan (other than an ABR Loan) made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any outstanding Loans (other than an ABR Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then the Borrower shall, upon receipt of the notice and certificate provided for in Section 2.10(c), promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. (b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of any law, rule, regulation or guideline arising out of the July 1988 report of the Basle 20 Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards," or the adoption after the date hereof of any other law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any of the foregoing or in the interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any lending office of such Lender) or any Lender's holding company with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital or on the capital of such Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, such Lender's Commitment or the Loans made by such Lender pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender's holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's policies and the policies of such Lender's holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for any such reduction suffered will be paid to such Lender by the Borrower. It is acknowledged that this Agreement is being entered into by the Lenders on the understanding that the Lenders will not be required to maintain capital against their Commitments under currently applicable laws, regulations and regulatory guidelines. In the event the Lenders shall otherwise determine that such understanding is incorrect, it is agreed that the Lenders, will be entitled to make claims under this paragraph (b) based upon market requirements prevailing on the date hereof for commitments under comparable credit facilities against which capital is required to be maintained. (c) A certificate of each Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, and containing an explanation in reasonable detail of the manner in which such amount or amounts shall have been determined, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay each Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same. Each Lender shall give prompt notice to the Borrower of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, that it has determined will require compensation by the Borrower pursuant to this Section; provided, however, that failure by such Lender to give such notice shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand compensation hereunder. (d) Failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period; provided, however, that no Lender shall be entitled to compensation under this Section 2.10 for any costs incurred or reductions suffered with respect to any date unless it shall have notified the Borrower that it will demand compensation for such costs or reductions under paragraph (c) above not more than 90 days after the later of (i) such date and (ii) the date on which it shall have become aware of such costs or reductions. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed. 21 (e) Each Lender agrees that it will designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender be disadvantageous to such Lender. SECTION 2.11. Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Agent, such Lender may: (i) declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn (any Lender delivering such a declaration hereby agreeing to withdraw such declaration promptly upon determining that such event of illegality no longer exists); and (ii) require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below. In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans. (b) For purposes of this Section 2.11, a notice by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt. SECTION 2.12. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as required under Sections 2.11 and 2.16, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Commitment Fees, each reduction of the Commitments and each refinancing or conversion of any Borrowing with a Borrowing of any Type, shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender's portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender's percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount. SECTION 2.13. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under 22 Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and participations in the Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans prior to such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that, if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.13 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan in the amount of such participation. SECTION 2.14. Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any outstanding Loans or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder from an account in the United States not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due in dollars to the Agent at its offices at Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10010-3629, in immediately available funds as instructed from time to time by the Agent. Each such payment shall be made without off-set, deduction or counterclaim, provided, that the foregoing shall not constitute a relinquishment or waiver of the Borrower's rights to any independent claim that the Borrower may have against the Agent or any Lender. (b) Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any outstanding Loans or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable. SECTION 2.15. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments of principal and interest on any of the outstanding Loans, or of any Fees or indemnity or expense reimbursements by the Borrower hereunder ("Borrower Payments") shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.14, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all current or future United States Federal, state and local taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect to the Borrower Payments, but only to the extent reasonably attributable to the 23 Borrower Payments, excluding (i) income taxes imposed on the net income of the Agent or any Lender (or any transferee or assignee thereof, including a participation holder (any such entity a "Transferee")) and (ii) franchise taxes imposed on the net income of the Agent or any Lender (or Transferee), in each case by the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Agent or such Lender (or Transferee) is organized or doing business through offices or branches located therein, or any political subdivision thereof (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities, collectively or individually, "Taxes"). If the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender (or any Transferee) or the Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an "additional amount") necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.15) such Lender (or Transferee) or the Agent (as the case may be) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant United States Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the Letter Agreements ("Other Taxes"). (c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender (or Transferee thereof) and the Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes with respect to Borrower Payments paid by such person, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses)) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant United States Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth and containing an explanation in reasonable detail of the manner in which such amount shall have been determined and the amount of such payment or liability prepared by a Lender or the Agent on their behalf, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. Such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date the Lender (or Transferee) or the Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor. (d) If any Lender (or Transferee) or the Agent shall become aware that it is entitled to claim a refund from a United States Governmental Authority in respect of Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower, or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts, pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of the availability of such refund claim and shall, within 30 days after receipt of a request by the Borrower, make a claim to such United States Governmental Authority for such refund at the Borrower's expense. If any Lender (or Transferee) or the Agent receives a refund (including pursuant to a claim for refund made pursuant to the preceding sentence) in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower had paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall within 30 days from the date of such receipt, pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender (or Transferee) or the Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant United States Governmental Authority with respect 24 to such refund); provided, however, that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender (or Transferee) or the Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Lender (or Transferee) or the Agent in the event such Lender (or Transferee) or the Agent is required to repay such refund to such United States Governmental Authority. (e) As soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days, after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to the relevant United States Governmental Authority, the Borrower will deliver to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such United States Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof. (f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section 2.15 shall survive the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all outstanding Loans hereunder. (g) Each of the Agent and each Lender (or Transferee) that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia (a "Non-U.S. Lender" or "Non U.S. Agent", as applicable) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent two copies of either United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, United States Federal withholding tax on payments by the Borrower under this Agreement. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such participation holder becomes a Transferee hereunder) and on or before the date, if any, such Non-U.S. Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a "New Lending Office"). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.15(g), a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.15(g) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver. (h) The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Non-U.S. Lender or Non-U.S. Agent (including any Transferee), or to pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Lender or Non-U.S. Agent (including any Transferee), in respect of United States Federal, state or local withholding tax pursuant to paragraph (a) or (c) above to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States Federal, state or local withholding tax existed on the date such Non-U.S. Lender became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on the date such participation holder became a Transferee hereunder) or, with respect to payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Non-U.S. Lender designated such New Lending Office with respect to a Loan; provided, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to any Transferee or New Lending Office that becomes a Transferee or New Lending Office as a result of an assignment, participation, transfer or designation made at the request of the Borrower; and provided further, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts any Transferee or any Lender (or Transferee) through a New Lending Office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (i)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the person making the assignment, 25 participation or transfer to such Transferee or Lender (or Transferee) making the designation of such New Lending Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer or designation or (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts or such indemnity payments would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Lender (including any Transferee) to comply with the provisions of paragraph (g) above and (i) below. (i) Any Lender (or Transferee) claiming any indemnity payment or additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such indemnity payment or additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the good faith determination of such Lender (or Transferee) be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender (or Transferee). (j) Nothing contained in this Section 2.15 shall require any Lender (or Transferee) or the Agent to make available to the Borrower any of its tax returns (or any other information) that it deems to be confidential or proprietary. SECTION 2.16. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances. In the event that any Lender shall have delivered a notice or certificate pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.11, or the Borrower shall be required to make additional payments to any Lender under Section 2.15, the Borrower shall have the right, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, to require such Lender to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 8.04) all such Lender's interests, rights and obligations contained hereunder to another financial institution approved by the Agent and the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) which shall assume such obligations; provided that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any Governmental Authority and (ii) the assignee shall pay to the affected Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by it hereunder and all other amounts accrued for its account or owed to it hereunder and the Borrower shall pay the processing and recordation fee due pursuant to Section 8.04.

SECTION 5.11. Limitations on Liens. (a) It will not pledge, mortgage, hypothecate or grant a security interest in, or permit any mortgage, pledge, security interest or other lien upon, any capital stock of (x) any Subsidiary (other than TXU Australia) now or hereafter owned by the Borrower, to secure any Indebtedness (hereinafter defined) without concurrently making effective provision whereby the Commitments and the outstanding Loans shall (so long as such other Indebtedness shall be so secured) be equally and ratably secured with any and all such other Indebtedness and any other indebtedness similarly entitled to be equally and ratably secured or (y) TXU Australia; provided, however, the 35 restriction set forth in clause (x) above shall not apply to nor prevent the creation or existence of: (i) any mortgage, pledge, security interest, lien or encumbrance upon any such capital stock created at the time of the acquisition of such capital stock by the Borrower or within 270 days after such time to secure all or a portion of the purchase price for such capital stock; (ii) any mortgage, pledge, security interest, lien or encumbrance upon any such capital stock existing thereon at the time of the acquisition thereof by the Borrower (whether or not the obligations secured thereby are assumed by the Borrower); (iii) any extension, renewal or refunding of any mortgage, pledge, security interest, lien or encumbrance permitted by paragraph (i) or (ii) above on capital stock of any Subsidiary theretofore subject thereto (or substantially the same capital stock) or any portion thereof; or (iv) any judgment, levy, execution, attachment or other similar lien upon such capital stock arising in connection with court proceedings, provided that either (A) the execution or enforcement of each such lien is effectively stayed within 30 days after entry of the corresponding judgment (or the corresponding judgment has been discharged within such 30 day period) and the claims secured thereby are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings timely commenced and diligently prosecuted; (B) the payment of each such lien is covered in full by insurance and the insurance company has not denied or contested coverage thereof; or (C) so long as each such lien is adequately bonded, any appropriate legal proceedings that may have been duly initiated for the review of the corresponding judgment, decree or order shall not have been fully terminated or the period within which such proceedings may be initiated shall not have expired. For purposes of this Section 5.11, "Indebtedness" means all indebtedness, whether or not represented by bonds, debentures, notes or other securities, created or assumed by the Borrower for the repayment of money borrowed. All indebtedness for money borrowed secured by a lien upon property owned by the Borrower and upon which indebtedness for money borrowed the Borrower customarily pays interest, although the Borrower has not assumed or become liable for the payment of such indebtedness for money borrowed, shall for purposes of this Section 5.10 be deemed to be Indebtedness of the Borrower. All indebtedness of others for money borrowed that is guaranteed as to payment of principal by the Borrower or in effect guaranteed by the Borrower through a contingent agreement to purchase such indebtedness for money borrowed shall for purposes of this Section 5.11 be deemed to be Indebtedness of the Borrower, but no other contingent obligation of the Borrower in respect of indebtedness for money borrowed or other obligations incurred by others shall for purposes of this Section 5.10 be deemed to be Indebtedness of the Borrower. 36 In case the Borrower shall propose to pledge, mortgage, hypothecate or grant a security interest in any capital stock of any Subsidiary owned by the Borrower to secure any Indebtedness, other than as permitted by subsections (a)(i) through (a)(ii), inclusive, of this Section 5.11, the Borrower will prior thereto give written notice thereof to the Lender, and the Borrower will prior to or simultaneously with such pledge, mortgage, hypothecation or grant of security interest, effectively secure (for so long as such other Indebtedness shall be so secured), in form satisfactory to the Lender, all the Commitments and the outstanding Loans equally and ratably with such Indebtedness and with any other indebtedness for money borrowed similarly entitled to be equally and ratably secured. (b) The provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 5.10 shall not apply in the event that the Borrower shall pledge, mortgage, hypothecate or grant a security interest in or other lien upon any capital stock of any Subsidiary now or hereafter owned by the Borrower to secure any Indebtedness that would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restriction up to an aggregate amount that, together with all other Indebtedness (other than mortgages, pledges, security interests, liens or encumbrances permitted by subsection (a) of this Section 5.11) which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restriction, does not at the time exceed 5% of Consolidated Capitalization. (c) For purposes of this Section 5.11: (i) The term "Consolidated Capitalization" means the sum obtained by adding (i) Total Consolidated Shareholders' Equity, (ii) Consolidated Indebtedness for money borrowed (exclusive of any thereof which is due and payable within one year of the date such sum is determined) and, without duplication, (iii) any preference or preferred stock of the Borrower or any Consolidated Subsidiary that is subject to mandatory redemption or sinking fund provisions. (ii) The term "Total Consolidated Shareholders' Equity" means the total Assets of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries less all liabilities of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries. As used in this definition, "liabilities" means all obligations that would, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, be classified on a balance sheet as liabilities, including without limitation, (i) indebtedness secured by property of the Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries whether or not the Borrower or such Consolidated Subsidiary is liable for the payment thereof unless, in the case that the Borrower or such Consolidated Subsidiary is not so liable, such property has not been included among the Assets of the Borrower or such Consolidated Subsidiary on such balance sheet, (ii) deferred liabilities, (iii) indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries that is expressly subordinated in right and priority of payment to other liabilities of the Borrower or such Consolidated Subsidiary. As used in this definition, "liabilities" includes preference or preferred stock of the Borrower or any Consolidated Subsidiary only to the extent of any such preference or preferred stock that is subject to mandatory redemption or sinking fund provisions. (iii) The "Assets" of any person means the whole or any part of its business, property, assets, cash and receivables. 37 (iv) The term "Consolidated Indebtedness" means total indebtedness as shown on the consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries.

All such agreements to which TXU Energy or Oncor is a party as of the date hereof are listed in Schedule 5.14 hereto.

(f) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower or the Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and its Loans); provided, however, that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such 45 Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) each participating bank or other entity shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.10, 2.15 and 8.05 to the same extent as if it were the selling Lender (and limited to the amount that could have been claimed by the selling Lender had it continued to hold the interest of such participating bank or other entity), except that all claims made pursuant to such Sections shall be made through such selling Lender, and (iv) the Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such selling Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers (x) decreasing any fees payable hereunder or the amount of principal of, or the rate at which interest is payable on, the outstanding Loans, (y) extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the outstanding Loans or (z) extending the Commitments). (g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of any such information.

SECTION 8.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel, unless in the good faith opinion of the Agent or such counsel, it would be inappropriate under applicable standards of legal professional conduct, due to an actual or potential conflict of interest, to have only one counsel) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (but only if such amendments, modifications or waivers are requested by the Borrower) (whether or not the transactions hereby contemplated are consummated), or incurred by the Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement of their rights in connection with this Agreement (including in respect of workouts and restructurings) or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel 46 (unless in the good faith opinion of the Agent or such counsel, it would be inappropriate under applicable standards of legal professional conduct, due to an actual or potential conflict of interest, to have only one counsel) for the Agent or, in the case of enforcement following an Event of Default, the Lenders. (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender against any loss, calculated in accordance with the next sentence, or reasonable expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) any failure by the Borrower to borrow or to refinance, convert or continue any Loan hereunder (including as a result of the Borrower's failure to fulfill any of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV) after irrevocable notice of such borrowing, refinancing, conversion or continuation has been given pursuant to Section 2.03, (ii) any payment, prepayment or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan of the Borrower, or assignment of a Eurodollar Loan of the Borrower required by any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise made or deemed made, on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (iii) any default in payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any outstanding Loan or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the due date thereof, whether by scheduled maturity, acceleration, irrevocable notice of prepayment or otherwise) or (iv) the occurrence of any Event of Default relating to the Borrower, including, in each such case, any loss or reasonable expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred by such Lender in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, or with respect to commitments made or obligations undertaken with third parties, to effect or maintain any Loan hereunder or any part thereof as a Eurodollar Loan. Such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (x) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid, refinanced, converted or not borrowed (assumed to be the LIBO Rate for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, refinancing or failure to borrow or refinance to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow or refinance, the Interest Period for such Loan that would have commenced on the date of such failure) over (y) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would be realized by such Lender in reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid or not borrowed or refinanced for such period or Interest Period, as the case may be. (c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent, each Lender, each of their respective Affiliates and the directors, officers, employees and agents of the foregoing (each such person being called an "Indemnitee") against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all costs, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees of one counsel for all Indemnitees (unless in the good faith opinion of such Indemnitee, it would be inappropriate under applicable standards of legal professional conduct, due to an actual or potential conflict of interest, to have only one counsel) and expenses, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of the Borrower's acts or omissions in connection with (i) the preparation, execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, including any of the foregoing arising from the negligence, whether sole or concurrent, on the part of any Indemnitee. 47 Notwithstanding the foregoing, such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) are determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, or (ii) result from any litigation brought by such Indemnitee against the Borrower or by the Borrower against such Indemnitee, in which a final, non-appealable judgment has been rendered against such Indemnitee; provided, further, that the Borrower agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, without the prior written consent of each Indemnitee, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification could be sought under the indemnification provisions of this Section 8.05(c) (whether or not any Indemnitee is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent does not include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee and does not involve any payment of money or other value by any Indemnitee or any injunctive relief or factual findings or stipulations binding on any Indemnitee. (d) The provisions of this Section shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans outstanding, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable on written demand therefor. (e) A certificate of any Lender or the Agent setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender or such Agent is entitled to receive pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section and containing an explanation in reasonable detail of the manner in which such amount or amounts shall have been determined shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. SECTION 8.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. SECTION 8.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. SECTION 8.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights 48 and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower or any Subsidiary in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on, any Loan or date for the payment of any Commitment Fee, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) increase the Commitment of any Lender, decrease the Commitment Fee payable to any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, or (iii) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.12, 2.13 or Section 8.04(h), the provisions of this Section or the definition of the "Required Lenders", without the prior written consent of each Lender; provided further, however, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent without the prior written consent of the Agent. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section, and any consent by any Lender or the Agent pursuant to this Section shall bind any assignee of its rights and interests hereunder. SECTION 8.09. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits hereto) and the Letter Agreements represent the entire contract among the parties relative to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Any previous agreement, whether written or oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, is superseded by this Agreement and the Letter Agreements. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement. SECTION 8.10. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 49 SECTION 8.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 8.03. SECTION 8.12. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. SECTION 8.13. Interest Rate Limitation. (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges which are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively the "Charges"), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate") which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable on the outstanding Loans of such Lender, together with all Charges payable to such Lender, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate. (b) If the amount of interest, together with all Charges, payable for the account of any Lender in respect of any interest computation period is reduced pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section and the amount of interest, together with all Charges, payable for such Lender's account in respect of any subsequent interest computation period, computed pursuant to Section 2.06, would be less than the Maximum Rate, then the amount of interest, together with all Charges, payable for such Lender's account in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be automatically increased to such Maximum Rate; provided that at no time shall the aggregate amount by which interest paid for the account of any Lender has been increased pursuant to this paragraph (b) exceed the aggregate amount by which interest, together with all Charges, paid for its account has theretofore been reduced pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section. SECTION 8.14. Jurisdiction; Venue. (a) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Subject to the foregoing and to paragraph (b) below, nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party hereto may 50 otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any other party hereto in the courts of any jurisdiction. (b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or thereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. SECTION 8.15. Confidentiality. Each Lender shall use its best efforts to hold in confidence all information, memoranda, or extracts furnished to such Lender (directly or through the Agent) by the Borrower hereunder or in connection with the negotiation hereof; provided that such Lender may disclose any such information, memoranda or extracts (i) to its Affiliates, accountants or counsel, (ii) to any regulatory agency having authority to examine such Lender (as the case may be), (iii) as required by any legal or governmental process or otherwise by law, (iv) except as provided in the last sentence of Section 5.03, to any person to which such Lender sells or proposes to sell an assignment or a participation in its outstanding Loans hereunder, if such other person agrees for the benefit of the Borrower to comply with the provisions of this Section and (v) to the extent that such information, memoranda or extracts shall be publicly available or shall have become known to such Lender independently of any disclosure by the Borrower hereunder or in connection with the negotiation hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may disclose the provisions of this Agreement, the amounts, maturities and interest rates of its outstanding Loans, and any Fees to which it is entitled, to any purchaser or potential purchaser of such Lender's interest in any Loans outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party hereto (and each officer, director, employee, representative, agent and advisor of each party hereto) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the "tax treatment" and "tax structure" (in each case within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such person relating to such "tax treatment" and "tax structure". The foregoing is intended to comply with the presumption set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4(b)(3)(iii) and should be interpreted in a manner consistent with such regulation.
