banks party thereto from time to time, with six separate senior unsecured
five-year syndicated revolving credit facilities (collectively, the "2021 Credit
Facilities"), as follows:

•the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 18, 2021, among FE and FET, as
borrowers, the banks and other financial institutions party thereto, as lenders,
and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, establishing a $1.0
billion revolving credit facility ("Parent Credit Facility")

Electric Illuminating Company, Ohio Edison Company and The Toledo Edison
Company, as borrowers, the banks and other financial institutions party thereto,

a $800 million revolving credit facility ("OH Utilities Credit Facility")
•the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 18, 2021, among Metropolitan Edison
Company, Pennsylvania Electric Company, Pennsylvania Power Company and West Penn
Power Company, as borrowers, the banks and other financial institutions party
thereto, as lenders, and Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as administrative agent,
establishing a $950 million revolving credit facility ("PA Utilities Credit
Facility")
•the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 18, 2021, among Jersey Central Power
& Light Company, as borrower, the banks and other financial institutions party
thereto, as lenders, and Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as administrative agent,
establishing a $500 million revolving credit facility ("NJ Utility Credit
Facility")
•the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 18, 2021, among Monongahela Power
Company and The Potomac Edison Company, as borrowers, the banks and other
financial institutions party thereto, as lenders, and Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as
administrative agent, establishing a $400 million revolving credit facility ("WV
& MD Utilities Credit Facility")
•the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 18, 2021, among American Transmission
Systems, Incorporated, Mid-Atlantic Interstate Transmission, LLC and
Trans-Allegheny Interstate Line Company, as borrower, the banks and other
financial institutions party thereto, as lenders, and PNC Bank, National
Association, as administrative agent, establishing a $850 million credit
facility ("TransCo Credit Facility")

Under the 2021 Credit Facilities, an aggregate amount of $4.5 billion is
available to be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until October 18, 2026, subject
to each borrower's respective sublimit under the respective facilities.
Generally, borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facilities are available to each
borrower separately and will mature on the earlier of 364 days from the date of
borrowing or the commitment termination date, as the same may be extended. Upon
a borrower demonstrating to the administrative agent authorization to borrow
amounts maturing more than 364 days from the date of borrowing, its borrowings
will mature on the latest commitment termination date.

Borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facilities may take the form of alternate base
rate advances or eurodollar rate advances, borrowed pro rata from all lenders in
proportion to their respective commitments. Outstanding alternate base rate
advances will bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal to
the sum of an applicable margin for alternate base rate advances determined by
reference to the applicable borrower's then-current senior unsecured non-credit
enhanced debt ratings (reference ratings) plus the highest of (i) the "prime
rate" published by the Wall Street Journal from time to time, (ii) the sum of
1/2 of 1% per annum plus the federal funds rate in effect from time to time and
(iii) the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) for a one-month interest period
plus 1%. Outstanding eurodollar rate advances will bear interest at LIBOR for
interest periods of one, three or six months plus an applicable margin
determined by reference to the applicable borrower's reference ratings. Changes
in reference ratings of a borrower would lower or raise its applicable margin
depending on whether ratings improved or were lowered, respectively.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under each of the 2021 Credit Facilities, the applicable borrowers will pay the
lenders a commitment fee on the amount of the unused commitments on a quarterly
basis.

In addition, under each of the 2021 Credit Facilities, borrowers may request
from time to time the issuance of letters of credit which are renewable upon the
request of the borrowers and which expire upon the earlier of one year from the
date of issuance or the third business day preceding the commitment termination
date applicable to the issuing bank under the applicable 2021 Credit Facility.
The stated amount of outstanding letters of credit will count against total
commitments available under the 2021 Credit Facilities and against the
applicable borrower's sub-limit under such facility. Currently, the initial
fronting banks have agreed to issue up to an aggregate amount of letters of
credit with respect to (a) the Parent Credit Facility, $100,000,000, (b) the OH
Utilities Credit Facility, $150,000,000, (c) the PA Utilities Credit Facility,
$200,000,000, (d) the NJ Utility Credit Facility, $100,000,000, (e) the WV & MD
Utilities Credit Facility, $100,000,000 and (f) the TransCo Credit Facility,
$200,000,000. Each borrower will pay the lenders a fee equal to the
then-applicable margin for eurodollar rate advances for such borrower multiplied
by the stated amount of each letter of credit issued for its account, in each
case for the number of days that such letter of credit is issued but undrawn,
payable quarterly in arrears.

Under the terms of the 2021 Credit Facilities, borrowings are available upon
customary representations and warranties, terms and conditions for facilities of
this type, and the borrowers are subject to certain customary affirmative and
negative covenants. Each borrower under the 2021 Credit Facilities, other than
FE, is also required to maintain a consolidated debt to total capitalization
ratio, as defined in each of the 2021 Credit Facilities, of no more than 0.65 to
1.00, or in the case of FET, 0.75 to 1.00. Under the Parent Credit Facility, FE
is required to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.50 to 1.00
commencing with fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021.

Borrowings under each of the 2021 Credit Facilities are subject to acceleration
upon the occurrence of events of default, including a cross-default to other
indebtedness of such borrower or its significant subsidiaries in excess of $100
million and defaults for certain bankruptcy or insolvency events of such
borrower or its significant subsidiaries.

The borrowers paid customary arrangement, upfront and fronting fees to the arranging banks and other lenders in connection with the closing of the 2021 Credit Facilities. The borrowers maintain ordinary banking and investment banking relationships with lenders under the 2021 Credit Facilities.



The foregoing descriptions of the 2021 Credit Facilities above do not purport to
be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the agreements
themselves. The Parent Credit Facility, the OH Utilities Credit Facility, the PA
Utilities Credit Facility, the NJ Utility Credit Facility, the WV & MD Utilities
Credit Facility, and the TransCo Credit Facility are filed as Exhibits 10.1
through 10.6, respectively, hereto, and are incorporated herein by reference.
