SUPPLEMENT
TO SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER LOAN AGREEMENT
(Term Loan)

THIS SUPPLEMENT (this “Supplement”) to the Second Amended and Restated Master Loan Agreement dated as of June 30, 2016 (as amended or restated from time to time, the “MLA”), is entered into as of June 30, 2016, between CHUGACH ELECTRIC ASSOCIATION, INC., an Alaska electric cooperative (the “Company”) and CoBANK, ACB, a federally chartered instrumentality of the United States (“CoBank”).

BACKGROUND

The Company has requested that CoBank make a term loan to the Company for the purpose of refinancing commercial paper issued by the Company to fund the Company’s acquisition of certain interests in mineral rights, leases, equipment and other assets relating to the Beluga River Unit, and to pay certain expenses relating thereto, and CoBank is willing to make such term loan on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the MLA.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Supplement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the MLA.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

SECTION 1.The Term Loan Commitment.    On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the MLA and this Supplement, CoBank agrees to make a single draw term loan (the Loan) to the Company on the date hereof in the principal amount of $45,600,000 (the “Term Commitment Amount”).  CoBank’s obligation to fund the Loan shall expire at the close of business (Mountain time) on the date hereof.  No portion of the Loan that is prepaid may thereafter be reborrowed.  The Loan shall constitute a “Loan” within the meaning of the MLA, and will be made available as provided in Section 2.02 of the MLA.

SECTION 2.Purpose.  The purpose of the Loan is to refinance commercial paper issued by the Company to fund the Company’s acquisition of certain interests in mineral rights, leases, equipment and other assets relating to the Beluga River Unit and to pay certain expenses relating thereto.

SECTION 3.Interest.  The Company agrees to pay interest on the unpaid balance of the Loan in accordance with one of more of the following interest rate options, as selected by the Company:

(A)Fixed Rate Option.    At a fixed rate per annum to be quoted by CoBank in its sole discretion in each instance (the “Fixed Rate Option”).  Under the Fixed Rate Option, rates may be fixed on such balances and for such periods (each, a “Fixed Rate Period”) as may be agreeable to CoBank in its sole discretion in each instance, provided,  however, that: (1) rates may not be fixed for Fixed Rate Periods expiring after the Maturity Date; (2) rates may only be fixed on balances of $100,000 or in increments or multiples thereof; (3) the maximum number of balances at any one time that may be subject to this option and the LIBOR Rate Option shall be five (5); and (4) the Company will not be permitted to


 

establish a new quoted fixed rate, or refix the rate of a Fixed Rate Option, during the existence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default.

(B)LIBOR Rate Option.    At a fixed rate per annum for any LIBOR Rate Loan for any LIBOR Period equal to the sum of the LIBOR Rate for such LIBOR Period plus the LIBOR Margin (the “LIBOR Rate Option”), provided,  however, that (1) each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000 or in increments or multiples thereof; (2) the maximum number of balances at any one time that may be subject to this option and the Base Rate Option shall be five (5); (3) no LIBOR Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date; and (4) the Company will not be permitted to select new LIBOR Rate Loans, or to continue LIBOR Rate Loans for additional LIBOR Periods, during the existence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default.

(C)Base Rate Option.    At a fixed rate per annum established by CoBank on the first Business Day of each week equal to the highest of (1)  the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (2) the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day plus 0.50% and (3) the one-month LIBOR Rate for such day plus 1.00% (the “Base Rate Option”).  The rate established by CoBank shall be effective until the first Business Day of the next week.  Each change in the rate shall be applicable to all balances subject to this option and information about the then current rate shall be made available upon telephonic request.

Subject to the limitations set forth above, the Company: (1) shall select the applicable rate option or options at the time it requests the Loan hereunder, (2) may elect to convert balances bearing interest at the Base Rate Option to (i) the Fixed Rate Option on any Business Day or (ii) the LIBOR Rate Option upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to CoBank; (3) may, upon the expiration of any Fixed Rate Period for any balance bearing interest at the Fixed Rate Option, elect, with respect to such balance, to (i) refix the rate under the Fixed Rate Option or (ii) convert the rate to (a) the Base Rate Option on any Business Day or (b) the LIBOR Rate Option upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to CoBank; and (4) may, upon the expiration of the LIBOR Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan, elect to (i) convert the rate on such LIBOR Rate Loan to the Base Rate Option or the Fixed Rate Option on any Business Day or (ii) continue the LIBOR Rate Option with respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan for an additional LIBOR Period selected by the Company upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to CoBank.  In the absence of any election provided for herein, the Company shall be deemed to have elected the Base Rate Option, and if the Company fails to specify the LIBOR Period to be applicable to any LIBOR Rate Loan, the Company shall be deemed to have selected a LIBOR Period of one month for such LIBOR Loan.  All interest rate elections provided for herein shall be made pursuant to a request substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, and must be received by 12:00 noon Mountain time on the required date of notice, and such delivery may be made electronically.  Interest shall be calculated on the actual number of days each Loan is outstanding on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days.  Interest shall be: (a) in the case of any balance bearing interest at the Base Rate Option or the Fixed Rate Option, calculated quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter and on the Maturity Date and payable quarterly in arrears on the 20th day of the following January, April, July or October and on the Maturity Date, and (b) in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, payable in arrears on the last day of the LIBOR Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan and on the Maturity Date,  provided, that, if the applicable LIBOR Period is longer than three (3) months,

-2-


 

interest on such LIBOR Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears on the date that is three (3) months after the first day of such LIBOR Period, the last day of such LIBOR Period and on the Maturity Date.

SECTION 4.Repricing.    CoBank may, in its sole discretion based on market conditions, from time to time on or after June 30, 2021 (but not more than once during any five-year period), change the LIBOR Margin.  If CoBank elects to so change the LIBOR Margin, it shall deliver not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such change (a “Repricing Notice”) to the Company setting forth (1) the Repricing Date and (2) the amount by which the LIBOR Margin will increase or decrease.  Any such change to the LIBOR Margin shall occur on the Repricing Date set forth in the Repricing Notice unless the Company provides written objection thereto not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the Repricing Date; provided that, if the Company so objects to any increase in the LIBOR Margin, (a) the Company may not request that any balance of the Loan be made as, converted into or continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan unless and until the Company and CoBank mutually agree on a new LIBOR Margin and (b) if the Company and CoBank do not mutually agree on a new LIBOR Margin on or prior to the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the Repricing Date, no balance may thereafter be made as, converted into or continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan.

SECTION 5.Fees.  Concurrently with the making of the Loan hereunder, the Company shall pay to CoBank an origination fee equal to the greater of (1) 0.25% of the Term Commitment Amount and (2) $114,000.

SECTION 6.Repayment of the Loan.  The Company promises to repay the unpaid principal balance of the Loan in accordance with the repayment schedule shown on Exhibit A to the CoBank Note.  In addition to the above, the Company promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan at the times and in accordance with the provisions set forth above.

SECTION 7.Prepayment.  Subject to Section 10.01 of the MLA and Section 10(D) of this Supplement, the Company may, on any Business Day, prepay the Loan in whole or part.  In the event the Company would like to prepay the Loan in whole or part, it shall notify CoBank thereof in writing (1) not later than 11:00 a.m. Mountain time three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which the Company intends to prepay any balance of the Loan bearing interest at the Fixed Rate Option or the LIBOR Rate Option or (2) not later than 11:00 a.m. Mountain time on the Business Day the Company intends to prepay any balance of the Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate Option.  Each notice of prepayment shall specify (a) which balances of the Loan will be prepaid, (b) the date and amount of prepayment, and (c) whether the prepayment is of balances of the Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate Option, the Fixed Rate Option and/or the LIBOR Rate Option.  Unless otherwise agreed to by CoBank in writing, all such notices shall be irrevocable.  On the date fixed for prepayment, the Company shall prepay the Loan (or so much thereof as provided in the Company’s notice), together with accrued interest thereon, and, if applicable, any surcharge owing under Section 10.01 of the Master Loan Agreement and/or any fee owing under Section 10(D) of this Supplement.  All prepayments shall be applied first to balances bearing interest at the Base Rate Option, and then to such balances bearing interest at the Fixed Rate Option and/or the LIBOR Rate Option as the

-3-


 

Company shall specify.  All prepayments will be applied to principal installments on the Loan in the same proportion as the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loan is reduced as a result of such prepayment.

SECTION 8.Promissory Note.  The Company’s obligation to repay the Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note, dated as of the date hereof, made by the Company and payable to the order of CoBank, in the face principal amount equal to the Term Commitment Amount and otherwise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (as may be amended, modified and/or restated from time to time, the “CoBank Note).

SECTION 9.Security.  The CoBank Note evidencing the Loan under this Supplement is secured as provided in Section 2.04 of the Master Loan Agreement.

SECTION 10.Increased Costs; Illegality; Funding Losses.

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

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

(2)subject CoBank to any tax of any kind whatsoever on or with respect to this Supplement, any LIBOR Rate Loan, or solely as it relates to this Supplement, the MLA, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or change the basis of taxation of payments to CoBank in respect thereof; or

(3)impose on CoBank or the London interbank eurodollar market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Supplement, the MLA or LIBOR Rate Loans made by CoBank;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to CoBank of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by CoBank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) in respect of a LIBOR Rate Loan, then, upon request of CoBank, the Company will pay to CoBank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate CoBank for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.  Failure on the part of CoBank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 10(A) shall not constitute a waiver of CoBank’s right to demand such compensation.

(B)Illegality.  If CoBank determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for CoBank or its applicable lending office to make or fund LIBOR Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of CoBank to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on written notice thereof by CoBank to the Company, any obligation of CoBank to convert or continue LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until CoBank notifies the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such

-4-


 

determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice and demand from CoBank, the Company shall, at its election, either prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR Rate Loans to balances of the Loan bearing interest based on the Base Rate Option or the Fixed Rate Option, either on the last day of the LIBOR Period therefor, if CoBank may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if CoBank may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Company shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

(C)Inability to Determine Rates.  If CoBank determines that for any reason in connection with any request for a LIBOR Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (1) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and LIBOR Period of such LIBOR Rate Loan, (2) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate for any requested LIBOR Period, or (3) the LIBOR Rate for any requested LIBOR Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to CoBank of funding such Loan, CoBank will promptly so notify the Company in writing.  Thereafter, the obligation of CoBank to make, convert to, or to maintain, LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until CoBank revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Company may revoke any pending loan request or request for continuation or conversion requesting LIBOR Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for balances of the Loan bearing interest based on the Base Rate Option in the amount specified therein.

(D)Compensation for Losses.  Upon written demand of CoBank from time to time, which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount, the Company shall promptly compensate CoBank for and hold CoBank harmless from any loss, cost or expense (other than any loss of anticipated profit) incurred by it as a result of (1) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the LIBOR Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise) or (2) any failure by the Company to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any LIBOR Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Company, including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by CoBank to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.  The Company shall also pay any reasonable and customary administrative fees charged by CoBank in connection with the foregoing.  For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Company to CoBank under this Section, CoBank shall be deemed to have funded each LIBOR Rate Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

SECTION 11.  Non-Patronage.  Notwithstanding any provisions in the MLA or CoBank’s Bylaws and Capital Plan to the contrary, the Loan evidenced by this Supplement shall be made on a non-patronage basis.  Therefore, any amounts advanced under the Loan shall not be included in the annual average accruing loan volume calculation for purposes of determining the Company’s patronage refund, if any.

SECTION 12.Definitions.  As used in this Supplement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

-5-
