Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of February 28, 2022 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among National Fuel Gas Company (the “Borrower”), the Lenders party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as Administrative Agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, and together with its branches and affiliates, the “Administrative Agent”). Terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein have the same meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
Pursuant to Section 2.21(a) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower has requested to extend the Existing Maturity Date from February 25, 2028 to February 23, 2029, and each of the Lenders party hereto hereby notifies the Administrative Agent as follows:
Effective as of January 28, 2025, the Lender named below desires to extend the Existing Maturity Date with respect to its Commitment for a period of one year, expiring February 23, 2029.
Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 2.21(a) and (d) of the Credit Agreement, each Lender named below hereby agrees that (i) such Lender shall be an Extending Lender, (ii) the effective date of the extension of such Lender’s Existing Maturity Date shall be January 28, 2025, (iii) the Response Date in connection with this extension shall be January 24, 2025 and (iv) the certificate required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.21(d)(i) of the Credit Agreement shall be dated as of January 28, 2025. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender party hereto agrees that the request delivered by the Borrower in connection with this extension on January 8, 2025 satisfies the notice requirement in Section 2.21(a) of the Credit Agreement, and that this extension constitutes the second and final permitted extension of the Maturity Date under Section 2.21(a) of the Credit Agreement.
