A. DPL Inc., an Ohio corporation (“Borrower”), entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated as of July 31, 2015 (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Borrower, the several banks and other financial institutions from time to time parties thereto (the “Lenders”), U.S. Bank National Association, as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Swing Line Lender, and an L/C Issuer (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement), PNC Bank, National Association, as Syndication Agent, and Bank of America, N.A., as Documentation Agent. The Credit Agreement and all Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement) are collectively referred to herein as the “Credit Facility Documents.”
