The proceeds of the
DIP Credit Facility will be used during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases to, inter alia, provide for post-petition working
capital purposes of the Debtors, pay fees and interest under the DIP Credit Facility, pay adequate protection payments as contemplated
in the DIP Term Sheet and, with respect to the Roll-Up Facility, to evidence the court ordered conversion of certain amounts outstanding
under the Prepetition Credit Agreement into term loans under the DIP Credit Facility. The proceeds of the Exit RBL Facility and
the Exit FLLO Term Loan Facility, together with proceeds of the Rights Offering and cash and cash equivalents of the Borrower,
will be used to consummate the Restructuring and the Restructuring Transactions on the Plan Effective Date.


 


You have requested
that (i) MUFG commit to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent, as applicable, for each of the DIP Credit Facility,
the Exit RBL Facility, and the Exit FLLO Term Loan Facility and (ii) each of the Commitment Parties (as defined below) commit
to provide a portion of each of the DIP Credit Facility, the Tranche A Exit RBL Facility, and the Exit FLLO Term Loan Facility.


 


In connection with
the Restructuring and the Restructuring Transactions, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this commitment letter (together
with the attached Exhibits A, B, C, and D, this “Commitment Letter”) and, (i) with
respect to the DIP Credit Facility, in the DIP Credit Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A

It is agreed that
MUFG will act as (a) the sole Administrative Agent and (b) a joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner, in each case

performed and exercised by it in such roles. It is further agreed that each of BofA, BMO Capital Markets Corp., (an affiliate
of BMO), MSSF, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, DNB Markets, Inc., Mizuho, Citi and Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC, an affiliate

all agents, co-agents, arrangers or bookrunners, (ii) award any other titles, and (iii) allocate all fees and other
compensation (other than that expressly contemplated by the DIP Credit Agreement, the Exit RBL Facility Term Sheet, the Exit FLLO

Credit Facilities.


 


MUFG, in its capacity
as joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner (in such capacity, the “Lead Arranger”), intends to use its commercially
reasonable efforts to arrange a syndicate of financial institutions and other institutional lenders (including entities that may
be affiliates of the Backstop Parties but excluding Disqualified Institutions (as defined below)) that will participate in all
or a portion of the Exit FLLO Term Loan Facility (including all or a part of the commitments of the Commitment Parties) (the “FLLO
Syndication”). You agree to make commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Lead Arranger in completing a reasonably
satisfactory FLLO Syndication. Such assistance shall include (a) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that
the syndication efforts benefit materially from your existing lending and investment banking relationships, (b) direct contact
between senior management and advisors of the Borrower and the proposed Commitment Parties, (c) assistance in the preparation
of marketing materials to be used in connection with the syndication, (d) your providing or causing to be provided the Projections
(as defined below), (e) using your commercially reasonable efforts to obtain public corporate credit or public corporate family

(as defined in the Conditions Precedent Exhibit), and (f) the hosting, with the Lead Arranger, of a meeting and, if necessary,
one or more conference calls with prospective Exit FLLO Term Loan Facility participants at times and locations mutually agreed
upon; provided that, without limitation, meetings via conference call, electronic meeting services and similar platforms

logos from its website and post copies thereof on the DebtDomain site or similar workspace established by the Lead Arranger to
facilitate the FLLO Syndication and use the logos on any confidential information memoranda, presentations and other marketing
materials prepared in connection with the FLLO Syndication.

To ensure an orderly
and effective syndication of the Exit FLLO Facility, you agree that, during the period beginning on the Plan Effective Date and
ending on the earlier of (a) one hundred twenty (120) days following the Plan Effective Date and (b) the termination
of the FLLO Syndication as determined by MUFG, you will ensure that there will be no competing issues of bank or other syndicated
credit facilities or debt securities of you or any of your or its subsidiaries, in each case being offered, placed or arranged
that would materially impair the primary syndication of the Exit FLLO Term Loan Facility without the prior written consent of MUFG
(it being understood that any letters of credit, capital leases, purchase money indebtedness and equipment financings, in each
case in the ordinary course of business, shall, in each case, not be limited pursuant to this sentence).


 


You hereby acknowledge
that (a) we will make available Information (as defined below), Projections (as defined below) and other customary offering
and marketing materials and presentations, including confidential information memoranda to be used in connection with the FLLO
Syndication (the “Information Memorandum” and, together with all of the foregoing, the “Information
Materials”), on a confidential basis to prospective Exit FLLO Term Loan Facility participants by posting the Information
Materials on DebtDomain, Intralinks, Debt X, SyndTrak Online or by similar electronic means and (b) certain of such Exit
FLLO Term Loan Facility participants may be “public side” institutions (i.e., institutions that do not wish to receive
material non-public information and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to you or
any of your subsidiaries, or any of your or their respective securities) (each, a “Public Sider” and each prospective
Exit FLLO Term Loan Facility participant that is not a Public Sider, a “Private Sider”).


 


At the reasonable request
of the Lead Arranger, you agree to assist us in preparing an additional version of the Information Materials to be used in connection
with the FLLO Syndication that consists exclusively of information of a type that is either (i) publicly available or (ii) not
material with respect to you, or any of your subsidiaries or any of your or their respective securities for the purpose of United
States federal and state securities laws (all such information being “Public Information”) to be used by Public
Siders. It is understood that in connection with your assistance described above, you shall provide us with customary authorization
letters for inclusion in any Information Materials that authorize the distribution thereof to prospective Exit FLLO Term Loan Facility
participants (other than Disqualified Institutions) , represent that the additional version of the Information Materials only contains
Public Information and exculpate us with respect to any liability related to the use or misuse of the contents, and exculpate you
with respect to any liability related to the misuse of the contents, of the Information Materials or related offering and marketing
materials by the recipients thereof. Before distribution of any Information Materials, you agree, at our reasonable request, to
identify that portion of the Information Materials that may be distributed to the Public Siders as containing solely “Public
Information” (it being understood that you shall not otherwise be under any obligation to mark the Information Materials
 “PUBLIC”). By marking Information Materials as “PUBLIC,” you shall be deemed to have authorized us and
the prospective Exit FLLO Term Loan Facility participants to treat such Information Materials as containing solely Public Information.

You acknowledge and
agree that, subject to the confidentiality and other provisions of this Commitment Letter, the following documents may be distributed
to both Private Siders and Public Siders, unless you advise the Lead Arranger in writing (including by email) within a reasonable
time prior (provided that such materials have been provided to you and your counsel for review a reasonable period of time prior
thereto) to their intended distribution that such materials should only be distributed to Private Siders: (a) administrative
materials prepared by the Lead Arranger for the lenders under the Exit FLLO Term Loan Facility and prospective Exit FLLO Term
Loan Facility participants (such as a lender meeting invitation, bank allocation, if any, and funding and closing memoranda),
(b) any term sheets and notification of changes in the terms and conditions of the Exit FLLO Term Loan Facility and (c) drafts
and final versions of the definitive documentation related to the Exit FLLO Term Loan Facility. If you advise us in writing (including
by email) that any of the foregoing should be distributed only to Private Siders, then Public Siders will not receive such materials
without your consent. Each of the Lead Arranger and each prospective Exit FLLO Term Loan Facility participants shall be entitled
to use and rely upon the information contained therein without responsibility for independent verification thereof.


 


As the Lead Arranger,
MUFG will manage all aspects of the FLLO Syndication, including the following decisions: the selection of institutions to be approached
and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate (provided that the
institutions separately identified and agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Lead Arranger to be a “Disqualified Institution”
(each such institution a “Disqualified Institution”) shall not so participate without your consent, not to be
unreasonably withheld), the allocations of the commitments among the participants and the amount and distribution of fees among
the participants. To assist us in the FLLO Syndication, you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly (and in any
event, if practicable, within fifteen (15) business days of any written request therefore) prepare and provide to us customary
and reasonably available information with respect to you and each of your subsidiaries and the Restructuring and Restructuring
Transactions, including customary financial information and projections prepared by you and reasonably available to you, as we
may reasonably request in connection with the FLLO Syndication. For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be required to provide
any information to the extent that the provision thereof would violate any law, rule or regulation, or any obligation of confidentiality
binding upon, or waive any privilege that may be asserted by, you or any of your affiliates; provided that in the event that you
do not provide information in reliance on this sentence, you shall provide notice to the Lead Arranger that such information is
being withheld and you shall use your commercially reasonable efforts to communicate, to the extent feasible, the applicable information
in a way that would not violate the applicable obligation or risk waiver of such privilege. In acting as the Lead Arranger, MUFG
will have no responsibility other than to arrange the syndication as set forth herein.


 


You agree that each
Commitment Party may currently be a lender or agent under that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of September 12,
2018 with you as Borrower (as amended, supplemented and otherwise modified from time to time, the “Prepetition Credit
Agreement”), and your and your affiliates’ rights and obligations under the Prepetition Credit Agreement and any
related agreement with one or more Commitment Parties that currently or hereafter may exist are, and shall be, separate and distinct
from the rights and obligations of the parties pursuant to this Commitment Letter, and none of such rights and obligations under
such other agreements shall be affected by any Commitment Party’s performance or lack of performance of services hereunder.
You hereby agree that each of the Commitment Parties may render its respective services under this Commitment Letter notwithstanding
any actual or potential conflict of interest presented by the foregoing, and you hereby waive any conflict of interest claims
relating to the relationship between you and your affiliates and one or more Commitment Parties in connection with the Restructuring
or Restructuring Transactions contemplated hereby, on the one hand, and the exercise by any Commitment Party or any of their respective
affiliates of any of their respective rights and duties under any credit or other agreement (including the Prepetition Credit
Agreement), on the other hand. The terms of this paragraph shall survive the expiration or termination of this Commitment Letter
for any reason whatsoever.

You hereby represent
and covenant that (a) all information, other than forward looking financial information and projections (the “Projections”),
that has been or will be made available to the Lead Arranger, MUFG or any Commitment Party in connection with the Restructuring
Credit Facilities by you or any of your representatives (the “Information”) is or will be, when furnished, complete
and correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished, taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading
in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto
from time to time) and (b) the Projections that have been or will be made available to the Lead Arranger, MUFG or any Commitment
Party by you or any of your representatives have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions; it being
understood that such Projections (i) are not to be viewed as facts, are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies,
many of which are beyond your control, and that no assurance can be given that any particular projections will be realized, that
actual results may differ and that such differences may be material and (ii) are not a guarantee of performance. If, at any
time prior to the termination of this Commitment Letter, any of the representations and covenants in the preceding sentence would
not be accurate and complete in any material respect if the Information or Projections were being furnished, and such representations
and covenants were being made, at such time, then you agree to promptly supplement the Information and/or Projections so that the
representations and covenants contained in this paragraph remain accurate and complete in all material respects under those circumstances;
it being understood in each case that any such supplement provided on or after the date of this Commitment Letter shall cure any
such representations and covenants. You understand that in arranging and syndicating the Restructuring Credit Facilities we may
use and rely on the Information without independent verification thereof.


 


As consideration for
the commitments and agreements to perform the services described herein, you agree to pay (or cause to be paid) the nonrefundable
(except as set forth in the Fee Letters) fees set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement, the Exit RBL Facility Term Sheet, the Exit
FLLO Term Loan Facility Term Sheet, and in the fee letters among the Borrower and the Lead Arranger and MUFG (the “Fee
Letters”); provided that payment of any fees under the Fee Letters that are due and payable upon the effectiveness
of this Commitment Letter or the Restructuring Support Agreement shall be a condition to the effectiveness of the commitments and
the obligations of the Lead Arranger and the Commitment Parties set forth herein.


 


The commitments of
the Commitment Parties hereunder to make the DIP Credit Facility available on the Closing Date and the Lead Arranger’s agreement
to perform the services described herein are subject exclusively to the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 of the
DIP Credit Agreement. The commitments of the Commitment Parties hereunder to make each of the Tranche A Exit RBL Facility and
the Exit FLLO Term Loan Facility available on the Plan Effective Date and the Lead Arranger’s agreement to perform the services
described herein are subject exclusively to the conditions set forth in the Conditions Precedent Exhibit.

You agree to indemnify
and hold harmless the Lead Arranger, the Administrative Agent, MUFG, the Commitment Parties, their respective affiliates and their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys and representatives (each, an “Indemnified Party”)
from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements
of counsel and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by you, your equity holders, creditors or any of their respective
subsidiaries or affiliates) to which any such Indemnified Party may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Commitment
Letter, the Fee Letters, the Restructuring Credit Facilities, the Restructuring, the Restructuring Transactions, the Cases, or
any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnified Party
is a party thereto, and to reimburse each Indemnified Party upon demand for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal or
other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing (limited to the reasonable and documented
fees and disbursements of one primary legal counsel (and if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction)
for the Indemnified Parties, taken as a whole, and, solely in the case of a conflict of interest, upon prior notice to you and
the Administrative Agent, one additional counsel for such similarly situated Indemnified Parties), provided that the foregoing
indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Party, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent
they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court to arise from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such
Indemnified Party. YOU AGREE THAT THE INDEMNITY CONTAINED IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE EXTENDS TO AND IS INTENDED TO COVER LOSSES
AND RELATED EXPENSES ARISING OUT OF THE ORDINARY, SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY.


 


You hereby agree (a) to
pay, or to reimburse the Lead Arranger promptly following written demand therefor, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
costs and expenses incurred by the Lead Arranger (whether incurred before or after the date hereof) in connection with the Restructuring
Credit Facilities, the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the definitive documentation evidencing such Restructuring
Credit Facilities (such documentation, the “Credit Documentation”), this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters,
any security arrangements in connection therewith and the due diligence therefor and the syndication thereof, including, without
limitation, (i) the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of Sidley Austin LLP and, if reasonably necessary, a
single local counsel for the Lead Arranger in each relevant jurisdiction and (ii) the reasonable and documented fees and
out-of-pocket expenses of RPA Advisors, LLC, Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc. and all other advisors and professionals engaged
by the Lead Arranger and the Administrative Agent upon prior consultation with you, in each case, reasonably incurred in connection
therewith and (b) to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Lead Arranger and the Administrative
Agent (including reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of legal counsel) incurred in connection with the enforcement
of any of its rights and remedies hereunder. You acknowledge that we may receive a benefit, including without limitation, a discount,
credit or other accommodation on other matters, from any of such counsel based on the fees such counsel may receive on account
of their relationship with us including, without limitation, fees paid pursuant hereto.

You also agree that
in no event shall any of the Lead Arranger, the Administrative Agent, MUFG, the Commitment Parties and their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys and representatives (each, an “Arranger-Related Person”) have
any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to you or your affiliates or to your or their respective
equity holders or creditors arising out of, related to or in connection with any aspect of the Restructuring or Restructuring Transactions
contemplated hereby, except to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court to arise from such Arranger-Related
Person’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct and then, only to the extent of your direct, as opposed to special,
indirect, consequential or punitive, damages. No Arranger-Related Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by
others of Information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems
for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Restructuring Credit Facilities or in connection
with its activities related to the Restructuring Credit Facilities. Nothing in this paragraph shall relieve you of any obligation
you may have under any provision of this Commitment Letter (or otherwise) related to indemnification to indemnify an Indemnified
Party against any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnified Party by a third party.


 


On and after the Petition
Date (as defined below), the expense reimbursements and indemnification provisions of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter
shall, in each case, constitute superpriority administrative expenses under Sections 503(b)(1) and 507(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy
Code in the Cases with respect to you as debtor -in-possession, to be commenced in the Bankruptcy Court on or about June 28,
2020 (the actual date of commencement of the Cases, the “Petition Date”) without the need to file any motion
(other than any motion as may be necessary to obtain the approvals of this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter, as applicable),
application or proof of claim and notwithstanding any administrative claims bar date, and shall be immediately payable in accordance
with the terms hereof without further notice or order of the Bankruptcy Court.


 


This Commitment Letter
shall not be assignable by you or us, is intended to be solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and is not intended to confer
any benefits upon, or create any rights in favor of, any person other than the parties hereto; provided that any Commitment
Party may assign any of its respective rights and obligations under this Commitment Letter (i) pursuant to the FLLO Syndication,
(ii) to another Commitment Party, (iii) to an affiliate of such Commitment Party or to an affiliate of any other Commitment
Party; provided, however, that such assignment shall not relieve the assigning Commitment Party of its obligations
hereunder, or (iv) otherwise with the Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed). This Commitment Letter is not intended to and does not confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights
or remedies under this Commitment Letter.

1.1          Defined
Terms.


 


(a)            Terms

(b)            As
used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings specified in this Section 1.1 unless the context otherwise
requires (it being understood that defined terms in this Agreement shall include in the singular number the plural and in the plural
the singular):

to and upon the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each New Money Lender
severally, but not jointly, agrees to make New Money Loans denominated in Dollars to the Borrower, which New Money Loans (a) shall
be made at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period, (b) may, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred
and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans or LIBOR Loans; but all New Money Loans made by each of the New Money Lenders
pursuant to the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist entirely of Loans of the same Type,
(c) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (d) shall not, for any New Money Lender at
any time, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result in such New Money Lender’s Exposure
at such time exceeding such New Money Lender’s Commitment Percentage at such time of the applicable Loan Limit and (e) shall
not, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result in the Total Exposure exceeding the applicable
Loan Limit at such time.


 


(b)           On
(i) the Interim Facility Effective Date, each Roll-Up Lender shall become entitled to roll up an aggregate principal amount
of Existing Loans held by such Lender equal to such Roll-Up Lender’s Interim Facility Roll-Up Loan Amount as set forth opposite
such Roll-Up Lender’s name on Schedule 2.1(b) under “Interim Facility Roll-Up Loan Amount” into roll-up
loans hereunder (the “Interim Facility Roll-Up Loans”) and (ii) in addition to the Interim Facility Roll-Up
Loans, on the Final Facility Effective Date, each Roll-Up Lender shall become entitled to roll up an aggregate principal amount
of Existing Loans held by such Lender equal to such Roll-Up Lender’s Final Facility Roll-Up Loan Amount as set forth opposite
such Roll-Up Lender’s name on Schedule 2.1(b) under “Final Facility Roll-Up Loan Amount” into
roll-up loans hereunder (the “Final Facility Roll-Up Loans”; and, together with the Interim Facility Roll-Up
Loans, collectively, the “Roll-Up Loans”). As set forth on Schedule 2.1(b), the Roll-Up Loans shall consist
of New Money Roll-Up Loans and Incremental Roll-Up Loans. The Incremental Roll-Up Loans shall be allocated to New Money Lenders
and Existing RBL Lenders that are not providing Commitments hereunder (the “Non-Participating Lenders”), based
on (i) with respect to the Non-Participating Lenders, their respective Existing Commitment Percentage and (ii) with respect
to the New Money Lenders, their respective Commitment Percentage hereunder, and each such allocation shall be reflected on Schedule
2.1(b). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and without any further action by any party to this Agreement,
each Roll-Up Lender’s (x) Interim Facility Roll-Up Loans shall, from and after the Interim Facility Effective Date,
be designated as Roll-Up Loans and administered hereunder and (y) Final Facility Roll-Up Loans shall, from and after the Final
Facility Effective Date, be designated as Roll-Up Loans and administered hereunder; provided that, for the avoidance of
doubt, until any the Existing Loan has been designated as a Roll-Up Loan hereunder and approved by the applicable DIP Order, the
Roll-Up Loans shall continue to be guaranteed by the Existing RBL Guarantors under the Existing RBL Guarantee and secured by and
entitled to the benefits of all Liens and security interests created and arising under the Existing Security Documents, which Liens
and security interests shall remain in full force and effect on a continuous basis, unimpaired, uninterrupted and undischarged,
and having the same perfected status and priority (until such Existing Loan has been designated as a Roll-Up Loan hereunder and
approved by the applicable DIP Order). Each such designation shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the Existing Loans
held by such Roll-Up Lender under the Existing RBL Credit Agreement to the extent rolled up under this Agreement as set forth on
Schedule 2.1(b). For the avoidance of doubt, each Roll-Up Lender acknowledges and agrees that, by accepting the benefits
of this Agreement, on the Interim Facility Effective Date, each such Lender, in its capacity as an Existing RBL Lender rolling
up loans under this Agreement shall become a party to this Agreement as a Roll-Up Lender hereunder by executing and delivering
a counterpart to this Agreement. Amounts rolled up under this Section 2.1(b) and repaid or prepaid may not be
reborrowed. Upon the entry of the Interim Order, the conversion of New Money Roll-Up Loans shall be in an amount equal to the Interim
Facility Cap approved by the Bankruptcy Court, with the balance of the New Money Roll-Up Loans and the Incremental Roll-Up Loans
converting upon entry of the Final Order. The Agent shall update Schedule 2.1(b) on the Interim Facility Effective
Date (and, with respect to the Final Facility Roll-Up Loan Amounts only, on the Final Facility Effective Date) to reflect each
Roll-Up Lender’s Roll-Up Loan Amount (which Roll-Up Loan Amounts listed on Schedule 2.1(b) shall be conclusive
absent manifest error) and deliver such updated Schedule 2.1(b) to the Borrower and the Roll-Up Lenders, whereupon
such updated Schedule 2.1(b) shall constitute Schedule 2.1(b) for all purposes hereunder. Subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, each Roll-Up Loan may, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted
into, ABR Loans or LIBOR Loans; but all Roll-Up Loans shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist entirely of
Loans of the same Type.


 






    40


     


    

 


(c)           Each
Lender may at its option make any LIBOR Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such
Loan, but (A) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan and (B) in
exercising such option, such Lender shall use its reasonable efforts to minimize any increased costs to the Borrower resulting
therefrom (which obligation of the Lender shall not require it to take, or refrain from taking, actions that it determines would
result in increased costs for which it will not be compensated hereunder or that it determines would be otherwise disadvantageous
to it and in the event of such request for costs for which compensation is provided under this Agreement, the provisions of Section 2.10
shall apply).

Amount of Each Borrowing; Maximum Number of Borrowings. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of New Money
Loans shall be in a minimum amount of at least $1,000,000 and in a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (except for any Borrowing
of New Money Loans in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of aggregate Commitments), but New Money
Loans made to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to any Unpaid Drawing shall be made in the amounts required by

Lender before the date of any such Borrowing that such New Money Lender does not intend to make available to the Agent its portion
of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Agent may assume that such New Money Lender has made such amount available
to the Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without
any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made
available to the Agent by such New Money Lender and the Agent has made available such amount to the Borrower, the Agent shall be
entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such New Money Lender. If such New Money Lender does not pay such corresponding
amount forthwith upon the Agent’s demand therefor the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately
pay such corresponding amount to the Agent in Dollars. The Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such New Money Lender or
the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding
amount was made available by the Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent, at a rate
per annum equal to (i) if paid by such New Money Lender, the Overnight Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then-applicable
rate of interest or fees, calculated in accordance with Section 2.8, for the respective New Money Loans.


 


(c)           Nothing
in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to relieve any New Money Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or
to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any New Money Lender as a result of any default by such New Money Lender
hereunder (it being understood, however, that no New Money Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other New Money Lender
to fulfill its Commitment).


 


2.5          Repayment
of Loans; Evidence of Debt.


 


(a)           The
Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Lenders, on the Scheduled Maturity Date, the then-outstanding
principal amount of all Loans.


 


(b)           Each
Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower
to the appropriate lending office of such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such lending office from time to time, including
the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such lending office from time to time under this Agreement.


 


(c)           The
Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 13.6(b), and a subaccount for each
Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the
Type and Class 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.


 






    43


     


    

 


(d)          The
entries made in the Register and accounts and subaccounts maintained pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of
this Section 2.5 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence
and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; but the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain such account,
such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower
to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement


 


(e)           Any
Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto.
In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if
requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and
interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 13.6) be represented by one or
more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such
payee and its registered assigns).


 


2.6          Conversions
and Continuations.


 


(a)           Subject
to the penultimate sentence of this clause (a), (i) the Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to convert
all or a portion equal to at least $1,000,000 (and in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof) of the outstanding principal amount
of Loans of one Type into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type of the same Class and (ii) the Borrower shall have
the option on any Business Day to continue the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Loans as LIBOR Loans for an additional
Interest Period of one month; but (A) no partial conversion of LIBOR Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount
of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than $1,000,000, (B) ABR Loans may not be converted into LIBOR
Loans if an Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion and the Agent has or the Majority Lenders have determined
in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversion, (C) LIBOR Loans may not be continued as LIBOR Loans for an
additional Interest Period if an Event of Default is in existence on the date of the proposed continuation and the Agent has or
the Majority Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, and (D) Borrowings resulting
from conversions pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be limited in number as provided in Section 2.2. Each
such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Agent at the Agent’s Office before 1:00 p.m. at
least (1) three (3) Business Days’, in the case of a continuation of or conversion to LIBOR Loans or (2) the
date of conversion, in the case of a conversion into ABR Loans, prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in
writing) (each, a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) specifying the Loans to be so converted or continued,
the Type and Class of Loans to be converted into or continued and, if such Loans are to be converted into or continued as
LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Agent shall give each applicable Lender notice as promptly
as practicable of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any of its Loans.


 


(b)           If
any Event of Default is in existence at the time of any proposed continuation of any LIBOR Loans and the Agent has or the Majority
Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically
converted on the last day of the current Interest Period into ABR Loans. If upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect
of LIBOR Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable thereto as provided in clause (a) above,
the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Borrowing of LIBOR Loans into a Borrowing of ABR Loans, effective
as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.


 






    44


     


    

 


2.7           Pro
Rata Borrowings. Each Borrowing of Loans of a particular Class under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders
of such Class (a) in the case of the New Money Lenders, pro rata on the basis of their then applicable Commitment
Percentages and (b) in the case of the Roll-up Lenders as set forth in Section 2.1(b). It is understood that
(a) no New Money Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make New Money Loans
hereunder and that each New Money Lender severally but not jointly shall be obligated to make the New Money Loans provided to
be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other New Money Lender to fulfill its Commitment and (b) failure
by a Lender to perform any obligation under any Credit Document shall not release any Person from performance of its obligation
under any Credit Document.


 


2.8           Interest.


 


(a)           The
unpaid principal amount of each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin
plus the ABR, in each case, in effect from time to time.


 


(b)           The
unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin
plus the relevant LIBOR, in each case, in effect from time to time.


 


(c)            [Reserved].


 


(d)            (I) If
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then, at the election of the Majority Lenders, all Loans and such fees or other
amounts due hereunder shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is (the “Default Rate”) (1) in the case
of principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2% or (2) in the case of any other amount,
to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, the rate described in Section 2.8(a) plus 2%
from the date of such Event of Default to the earlier of (A) the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well
as before judgment) and (B) the date on which such Event of Default has been waived or otherwise cured; and (II) without
duplication of clause (I) above, if all or a portion of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount
payable by the Borrower or Guarantor hereunder or under any other Credit Document is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity,
by acceleration, or otherwise), all overdue Loans and such fees or other amounts due hereunder shall automatically bear interest
at the Default Rate.


 


(e)            Interest
on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall
be payable in Dollars; but any Loan that is repaid on the same date on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. Except
as provided below, interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each ABR Loan, on the last Business Day of each calendar month
(ii) in respect of each LIBOR Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, and (iii) in respect
of each Loan, (A) on any prepayment (on the amount prepaid), (B) on the Termination Date (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) and (C) after the Termination Date, on demand.


 






    45


     


    

 


(f)            All
computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 5.5.


 


(g)           The
Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, shall promptly notify the Borrower and the relevant
Lenders of the applicable Class thereof. Each such determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive
and binding on all parties hereto.


 


2.9          Interest
Periods. At the time the Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation in respect of
the making of, or conversion into or continuation as, a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans in accordance with Section 2.6(a),
the Borrower shall give the Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of the Interest Period applicable
to such Borrowing, which Interest Period shall be a period of one month.


 


Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained above:


 


(a)           the
initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any
conversion from a Borrowing of ABR Loans) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence
on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;


 


(b)           if
any Interest Period relating to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month or begins on a day
for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period
shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period;


 


(c)           if
any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding
Business Day; but if any Interest Period in respect of a LIBOR Loan would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business
Day, but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the
next preceding Business Day; and


 


(d)            the
Borrower shall not be entitled to elect any Interest Period in respect of any LIBOR Loan if such Interest Period would extend beyond
the Scheduled Maturity Date.


 


2.10         Increased
Costs, Illegality, Etc.


 


(a)          In
the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below (but subject to Section 2.10(d)), the Majority
Lenders or (y) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Lender, shall have reasonably determined
(which determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):


 


(i)            on
any date for determining LIBOR for any Interest Period that (A) deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising
such LIBOR Borrowing are not generally available in the relevant market, (B) by reason of any changes arising on or after
the Interim Facility Effective Date affecting the interbank LIBOR market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining
the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR, or (C) LIBOR for such Interest Period will
not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for
such Interest Period; or


 






    46


     


    

 


(ii)            that,
due to a Change in Law occurring at any time or after the Interim Facility Effective Date, which Change in Law shall (A) 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 by, any Lender, (B) subject any Lender to any Tax with respect
to any Credit Document or any LIBOR Loan made by it (other than (i) Taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.4, (ii) Taxes
described in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” or (iii) Connection
Income Taxes), or (C) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this
Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender, which results in the cost to such Lender of making, converting into, continuing or
maintaining LIBOR Loans or participating in Letters of Credit (in each case hereunder) increasing by an amount which such Lender
reasonably deems material or the amounts received or receivable by such Lender hereunder with respect to the foregoing shall be
reduced; or


 


(iii)            at
any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good
faith with any Requirement of Law (or would conflict with any such Requirement of Law not having the force of law even though the
failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful);


 


then, and in any such event, such Lenders
(or the Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice (if by telephone,
confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Agent of such determination (which notice the Agent shall promptly transmit to
each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, LIBOR Loans shall no longer be available
until such time as the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Agent
no longer exist (which notice the Agent agrees to give at such time when such circumstances no longer exist), and any Notice of
Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to LIBOR Loans that have not yet been incurred
shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to
such Lender, promptly (but no later than fifteen (15) Business Days) after receipt of written demand therefor such additional amounts
as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (it being
agreed that a notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation
thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding
upon all parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions
specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by applicable
Requirements of Law.


 






    47


     


    

 


(b)           At
any time that any LIBOR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii),
the Borrower may (and in the case of a LIBOR Loan affected pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either (i) if
the affected LIBOR Loan has been requested but not yet made, cancel such Borrowing request by giving the Agent telephonic notice
(confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or
(iii) or (ii) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three (3) Business Days’
notice to the Agent, require the affected Lender to convert each such LIBOR Loan into an ABR Loan; but if more than one
Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated in the same manner pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).


 


(c)           If,
after the Interim Facility Effective Date, any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements of any Lender
or compliance by any Lender or its parent with any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements occurring
after the Interim Facility Effective Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or
its parent’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s Commitment or obligations hereunder to a level below
that which such Lender or its parent could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s
or its parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements), then from time to time, promptly (but
in any event no later than fifteen (15) Business Days) after written demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower
shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent for such reduction, it
being understood and agreed, however, that a Lender shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Lender’s
compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any applicable Requirement of Law as in effect on the
Interim Facility Effective Date (except as otherwise set forth in the definition of Change in Law). Each Lender, upon determining
in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt notice
thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts,
although the failure to give any such notice shall not, subject to Section 2.13, release or diminish the Borrower’s
obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) upon receipt of such notice.


 


(d)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early
Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement.
Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business
Day after the Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Agent has not received, by
such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. Any such amendment with
respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered
to the Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement
pursuant to this Section 2.10(d) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.


 


(e)           In
connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming
Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, any amendments
implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other
party to this Agreement.


 






    48


     


    

 


(f)            The
Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early
Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation
of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement
or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or
Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.10(f), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or
of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action,
will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any
other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.10(f).


 


(g)           Upon
the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request
for a LIBOR Loan of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability
Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion
to ABR Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component of ABR based upon LIBOR will not be used in any determination
of ABR.


 


2.11         Compensation.
If (a) any payment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than
on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan as a result of a payment or conversion pursuant to Section 2.5, 2.6, 2.10, 5.1,
5.2 or 13.7, as a result of acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Article XI or for
any other reason, (b) any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans is not made on the date specified in a Notice of Borrowing,
(c) any ABR Loan is not converted into a LIBOR Loan on the date specified in a Notice of Conversion or Continuation,
(d) any LIBOR Loan is not continued as a LIBOR Loan on the date specified in a Notice of Conversion or Continuation or
(e) any prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant
to Section 5.1 or 5.2, the Borrower shall after the Borrower’s receipt of a written request by such
Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount and shall be conclusive and
binding in the absence of manifest error), pay to the Agent (within fifteen (15) Business Days) for the account of such
Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may
reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to convert, failure to continue or failure to prepay, including any
loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment
of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such LIBOR Loan.


 


2.12         Change
of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii),
2.10(a)(iii), 2.10(c), 3.5 or 5.4 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower
use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans
affected by such event, if such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic,
legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any
such Section. Nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any Obligation or the right of any Lender provided in Section 2.10,
3.5 or 5.4.


 






    49


     


    

 


2.13         Notice
of Certain Costs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any notice required by
Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4 is given by any Lender, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any L/C
Participant, as the case may be, more than one hundred-eighty (180) days after such Person has knowledge (or should have had knowledge)
of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional amounts
described in such Sections, such Person shall not be entitled to compensation under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5
or 5.4, as the case may be, for any such amounts incurred or accruing before the one-hundred-eighty-first (181st) day
before the giving of such notice to the Borrower; but if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such
one hundred-eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.


 


2.14         [Reserved].


 


2.15         Defaulting
Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender,
then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:


 


(a)           Commitment
Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.1(a);


 


(b)           The
Commitment and the Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, the Required Lenders
or the Majority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant
to Section 13.1); but any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 13.1
(other than Section 13.1(b)(x)) or requiring the consent of each affected Lender pursuant to Section 13.1(b)(i) or,
shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender (which for the avoidance of doubt would include any change to the Scheduled
Maturity Date applicable to such Defaulting Lender, decreasing or forgiving any principal or interest due to such Defaulting Lender,
any decrease of any interest rate applicable to Loans made by such Defaulting Lender (other than the waiving of post-default interest
rates) and any increase in such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment);


 


(c)           If
any Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time a New Money Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then (i) all or any part
of such Letter of Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically
be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders that are New Money
Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages; but (A) each Non-Defaulting Lender’s
Exposure may not in any event exceed the Commitment Percentage of the Loan Limit of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at
the time of such reallocation and (B) subject to Section 13.23, neither such reallocation nor any payment by a
Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Agent, the Letter of
Credit Issuers or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting
Lender, (ii) to the extent that all or any portion of the Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure cannot, or can
only partially, be so reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders, whether by reason of the first proviso in Section 2.15(c)(i) or
otherwise, the Borrower shall within two (2) Business Days following notice by the Agent or the applicable Letter of Credit
Issuer, Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding
to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause
(i) above), in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.8 for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure
is outstanding, (iii) if the Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure
pursuant to this Section 2.15(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant
to Section 4.1(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period such
Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is Cash Collateralized, (iv) if the Letter of Credit Exposure of the Non-Defaulting
Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.15(c), then the Letter of Credit Fees payable for the account of
the Lenders pursuant to Section 4.1(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’
Commitment Percentages and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any Letter of Credit Fees to the Defaulting Lender pursuant
to Section 4.1(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period that
such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is reallocated, or (v) if any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of
Credit Exposure is neither Cash Collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.15(c), then, without prejudice
to any rights or remedies of the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 4.1(b) with
respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to the Letter of Credit Issuer until such
Letter of Credit Exposure is Cash Collateralized and/or reallocated;


 






    50


     


    

 


(d)           So
long as any New Money Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Letter of Credit Issuer will be required to issue any new Letter of Credit
or amend any outstanding Letter of Credit to increase the Stated Amount thereof, alter the drawing terms thereunder or extend the
expiry date thereof, unless (i) in the case of any Letter of Credit Issuer, such Letter of Credit Issuer is reasonably satisfied
that any exposure that would result from the exposure to such Defaulting Lender is eliminated or fully covered by the Commitments
of the Non-Defaulting Lenders that are New Money Lenders or by Cash Collateralization or a combination thereof in accordance with
clause (c) above or otherwise in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer, and (ii) in
the case of any Letter of Credit Issuer, it is reasonably satisfied that participating interests in any such newly issued or increased
Letter of Credit, as applicable, shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders that are New Money Lenders in a manner consistent
with Section 2.15(c) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and


 


(e)           If
the Borrower, the Agent and each Letter of Credit Issuer agree in writing in their discretion that a New Money Lender that is a
Defaulting Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon, as of the effective
date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any
Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding New Money Loans of the
other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the New Money Loans and funded and
unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the New Money Lenders in accordance with the Commitments
(without giving effect to Section 2.15(c)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; but no adjustments
will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was
a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties,
no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party
hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.


 






    51


     


    

 


(f)            Any
payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether
voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article XI or otherwise, and including any amounts made available
to the Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.8), shall be applied at such time or times as may be
determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder;
second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender (if such Defaulting Lender
is a New Money Lender) to each Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder; third, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default
or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion
thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fourth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower,
to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender (if
such Defaulting Lender is a New Money Lender) to fund New Money Loans under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any
amounts owing to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained
by any Lender, such Letter of Credit Issuer against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach
of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any
amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against
that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh,
to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; but if such payment is a payment
of the principal amount of any Loans or Unpaid Drawings, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the relevant Loans of, and
Unpaid Drawings owed to, the relevant non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis before being applied in the manner set
forth in this Section 2.15(f). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that
are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 3.8
shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.


 


2.16         Collateral;
Guarantees.


 


(a)            Priority
and Liens. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, upon entry of the Interim Order and the delivery and execution of
this Agreement, the Obligations shall at all times be secured and perfected pursuant to, and have the super-priority claims and
Liens as set forth in, the DIP Orders and herein.


 


(b)           Payment
of Obligations. On the Termination Date, the Lenders shall be entitled to immediate payment of all Obligations without further
application to, or order of, the Bankruptcy Court.


 






    52


     


    

 


(c)           No
Discharge; Survival of Claims. Each Debtor agrees that (a) any Confirmation Order entered in the Bankruptcy Cases shall
not discharge or otherwise affect in any way any of the Obligations, other than after or upon the payment in full in cash to the
Secured Parties of all Obligations (and the Cash Collateralization of all outstanding Letters of Credit in amount and subject to
documentation satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer) and termination of the Commitments on or before the effective date of
an Approved Plan of Reorganization and (b) to the extent the Obligations are not satisfied in full, (i) the Obligations
shall not be discharged by the entry of a Confirmation Order (and each Debtor, pursuant to Section 1141(d)(4) of the
Bankruptcy Code, hereby waives any such discharge) and (ii) the Super-Priority Claim granted to the Agent, the Lenders, the
Hedge Banks and the providers of Cash Management Services pursuant to the DIP Order and the Liens granted to the Agent pursuant
to the DIP Order shall not be affected in any manner by the entry of a Confirmation Order.


 


(d)           Perfection
and Protection of Security Interests and Liens. The Debtors will from time to time deliver to the Agent all financing statements,
amendments, assignments and continuation statements, extension agreements and other documents, properly completed and executed
(and acknowledged when required) by each Debtor, as applicable, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, in
each case, which the Agent requests for the purpose of confirming or protecting its lien and security interest in Collateral for
the purpose of securing the Obligations. Each Credit Party hereby confirms and acknowledges that, pursuant to the Interim Order
(and, when entered, the Final Order), the Liens in favor of the Agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties in
all of the Collateral shall be created and perfected, to the maximum extent permitted by law, without the execution or the recordation
or filing in any land records or filing offices of, any assignment, security agreements, mortgages, control agreements, pledge
agreements, financing statements or other similar documents, or the possession or control by the Agent of, or over, any Collateral,
as set forth in the Interim Order (and, when entered, the Final Order).


 


(e)           Offset.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable DIP Order, in addition to any other rights and remedies of the
Lenders upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Events of Default and subject to the Enforcement Notice Period,
each Lender is authorized to set-off and apply, without notice to any Debtor (other than as required in the applicable DIP Order)
(i) any and all monies, securities or other property (and the proceeds therefrom) of the Debtors now or hereafter held or
received by or in transit to such Lender from or for the account of any Debtor, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission,
collection or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) of any Debtor with such
Lender, and (ii) any other credits and claims of any Debtor at any time existing against the such Lender, including claims
under certificates of deposit. During the existence of any Event of Default, but subject to the Enforcement Notice Period the Agent
or any Lender is hereby authorized to foreclose upon, offset, appropriate, and apply, at any time and from time to time, without
notice to any Debtor, any and all items hereinabove referred to against the Obligations then due and payable. For the avoidance
of doubt, the parties to this agreement agree and acknowledge that this Section 2.16(e) shall not apply to Excluded
Deposit Accounts of any Debtors and that any recoveries received by any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16(e) are
subject to Section 13.8.


 


(f)           Value.
The direct or indirect value of the consideration received and to be received by such Guarantor in connection herewith is reasonably
worth at least as much as the liability and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, and the
incurrence of such liability and obligations in return for such consideration may reasonably be expected to benefit each Guarantor,
directly or indirectly.


 






    53


     


    

 


(g)          Collateral.
Upon the entry of, and subject to, the Interim Order (and, when entered, the Final Order), all Obligations of the Debtors to the
Lenders under the Credit Documents, including all Loans made under the DIP Facility, shall, subject to the Carve-Out, at all times:


 


(i)            pursuant
to Bankruptcy Code section 364(c)(1), be entitled to joint and several Super-Priority Claim status in the Bankruptcy Case; provided

Super-Priority Claim in respect of the New Money Loans and Lender Hedging Obligations, (y) the Super-Priority Claim in respect
of the Incremental Roll-Up Loans shall be immediately junior in payment and priority to the Super-Priority Claim in respect of
the New Money Roll-Up Loans and Lender Hedging Obligations and (z) the Super-Priority Claims in respect of the New Money Loans,
Lender Hedging Obligations and Roll-Up Loans shall be senior in priority and payment to the obligations under the Existing RBL
Credit Agreement;


 


(ii)            pursuant
to Bankruptcy Code section 364(c)(2), be secured by a perfected first priority Lien on the Collateral to the extent that such Collateral
is not subject to valid, perfected and non-avoidable Liens as of the Petition Date or Liens that were in existence immediately
prior to the Petition Date that become perfected subsequent to the Petition Date as permitted by Section 546(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code, including, subject to the entry of the Final Order, the Avoidance Action Proceeds;


 


(iii)            pursuant
to Bankruptcy Code section 364(c)(3), be secured by a perfected junior lien on all assets of the Debtors, to the extent that such
assets are subject to a valid, perfected and non-avoidable Liens as of the Petition Date or Liens that were in existence immediately
prior to the Petition Date that are perfected as permitted by Section 546(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (in each case, other
than (x) Liens securing Indebtedness permitted by Section 10.1(g) and (y) Excluded Property); and


 


(iv)            pursuant
to Bankruptcy Code section 364(d), be secured by a perfected super-priority priming Lien on all Collateral to the extent that such

provided that, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Section 2.16, the Liens securing the Obligations in favor of the Agent on behalf of and for
the benefit of the Secured Parties in all of the Collateral shall not be subject or subordinate to (i) subject to entry of
the Final Order only, any Lien that is avoided and preserved for the benefit of the Debtors and their estates under Section 551
of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) any Liens arising after the Petition Date including, without limitation, any Liens granted in
favor of any Governmental Authority for any liability of the Debtors, or (iii) any intercompany or Affiliate Liens of the
Debtors.

Article III

LETTERS OF CREDIT


 


3.1          Letters
of Credit.


 


(a)         Subject
to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, at any time and from time to time on and after the Interim Facility Effective
Date and during the Availability Period, the Letter of Credit Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the New Money
Lenders set forth in this Article, to issue upon the request of the Borrower and for the direct or indirect benefit of the Debtors,
a letter of credit or letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit” and each, a “Letter of Credit”)
in such form and with such Issuer Documents as may be approved by the Letter of Credit Issuer in its reasonable discretion; but
the Borrower shall be a co-applicant of, and jointly and severally liable with respect to, each Letter of Credit issued for
the account of a Guarantor. The Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto (but shall not
be considered newly issued on the Interim Facility Effective Date for purposes of Section 4.1(d)), and from and after
the Interim Facility Effective Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.


 


(b)         Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, (A) when added to the Letters of
Credit Outstanding at such time, would exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment then in effect and/or (B) when added to the
Letters of Credit issued by and outstanding at such time for any Letter of Credit Issuer, would exceed the Letter of Credit Issuance
Limit for such Letter of Credit Issuer, (ii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which would cause the
Total Exposure at such time to exceed the applicable Loan Limit then in effect, (iii) each Letter of Credit shall have an
expiration date occurring no later than the L/C Maturity Date, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Letter of Credit Issuer; but
any Letter of Credit may provide for automatic renewal thereof to a date no later than the L/C Maturity Date or such longer
period of time as may be agreed by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer; provided, further, that in no event shall
such expiration date occur later than the L/C Maturity Date unless arrangements, which are reasonably satisfactory to the Letter
of Credit Issuer to Cash Collateralize (or backstop, convert, or roll-over) such Letter of Credit, have been made (but
no Lender shall be obligated to fund participations in respect of any Letter of Credit after the L/C Maturity Date), (iv) each
Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars, (v) no Letter of Credit shall be issued if it would be illegal under any
applicable Requirement of Law for the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit to have a Letter of Credit issued in its favor, (vi) no
Letter of Credit shall be issued by a Letter of Credit Issuer (but another Letter of Credit Issuer, not subject to the constraints
of this Section 3.1(b)(vi), may issue such Letter of Credit) if (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental
Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Letter of Credit Issuer from issuing the Letter
of Credit, or any Law applicable to such Letter of Credit Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force
of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Letter of Credit Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such
Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall
impose upon such Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement
(for which such Letter of Credit Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Interim Facility Effective
Date, or shall impose upon such Letter of Credit Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the
Interim Facility Effective Date and which such Letter of Credit Issuer in good faith deems material to it or (B) the issuance
of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Letter of Credit Issuer generally, and (vii) no Letter
of Credit shall be issued by a Letter of Credit Issuer after it has received a notice from any Debtor or the Agent or the Majority
Lenders stating that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing until such time as the Letter of Credit Issuer
shall have received a notice (A) of rescission of such notice from the party or parties originally delivering such notice,
(B) of the waiver of such Default or Event of Default in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1 or (C) that
such Default or Event of Default is no longer continuing.


 






    55


     


    

 


(c)         Upon
at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Agent
and the Letter of Credit Issuer (which notice the Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the applicable Lenders), the Borrower
shall have the right, on any day, permanently to terminate or reduce the Letter of Credit Commitment in whole or in part; but,
after giving effect to such termination or reduction, the Letters of Credit Outstanding shall not exceed the Letter of Credit
Commitment.


 


3.2          Letter
of Credit Requests.


 


(a)         Whenever
the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued, the Borrower shall give the Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer a Letter
of Credit Request by no later than 1:00 p.m. at least two (2) (or such lesser number as may be agreed upon by the Agent
and the Letter of Credit Issuer) Business Days before the proposed date of issuance. Each notice shall be executed by the Borrower
and shall be in the form of Exhibit B or such other form (including by electronic or fax transmission) as reasonably
agreed between the Borrower, the Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer (each a “Letter of Credit Request”).
No Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue any Letters of Credit unless such Letter of Credit Issuer shall have received notice from
the Agent that the conditions to such issuance have been met, which notice shall be deemed given (i) if the Letter of Credit
Issuer has not received notice from the Agent that the conditions to such issuance have been met within two (2) Business
Days after the date of the applicable Letter of Credit Request or (ii) if the aggregate amount of Letters of Credit Outstanding
issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer then outstanding does not exceed the amount theretofore agreed to by the Borrower, the
Agent and such Letter of Credit Issuer, and the Agent has not otherwise notified such Letter of Credit Issuer that it may no longer
rely on this clause (ii).


 


(b)         Each
Letter of Credit Issuer (other than the Agent or any of its Affiliates) shall, at least once each week, provide the Agent with
a list of all Letters of Credit issued by it that are outstanding at such time; but, upon written request from the Agent, such
Letter of Credit Issuer shall thereafter notify the Agent in writing on each Business Day of all Letters of Credit issued on the
prior Business Day by such Letter of Credit Issuer.


 






    56


     


    

 


(c)         The
making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that the Letter of
Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.1(b).


 


3.3          Letter
of Credit Participations.


 


(a)         Immediately
upon the issuance by any Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have
sold and transferred to each New Money Lender (each such New Money Lender, in its capacity under this Section 3.3,
an “L/C Participant”), and each such L/C Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have
purchased and received from such Letter of Credit Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation
(each an “L/C Participation”), to the extent of such L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage, in each
Letter of Credit, each substitute therefor, each Drawing thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with
respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto.


 


(b)         In
determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer shall have no obligation relative
to the L/C Participants other than to confirm that (i) any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit
have been delivered, (ii) the Letter of Credit Issuer has examined the documents with reasonable care and (iii) the
documents appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken
by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it, if taken or omitted in
the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create for the Letter of Credit Issuer any resulting liability
to the L/C Participants.


 


(c)         In
the event that any Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not
have repaid such amount in full to the respective Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 3.4(a), or if any reimbursement
payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower, such Letter of Credit Issuer shall promptly notify the Agent of such failure,
and each such L/C Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer,
the amount of such L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in immediately available
funds; but no L/C Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer its Commitment
Percentage of such unreimbursed amount arising from any wrongful payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any such Letter
of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Letter of Credit
Issuer (as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction). Each L/C Participant shall
make available to the Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer such L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage
of the amount of such payment no later than 1:00 p.m. on the first Business Day after the date notified by such Letter of
Credit Issuer in immediately available funds. If and to the extent such L/C Participant shall not have so made its Commitment
Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Agent for the account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, such
L/C Participant agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer, forthwith on demand, such amount,
together with interest thereon for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Agent for the account of
such Letter of Credit Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time then in effect, plus any administrative,
processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the foregoing. The failure of
any L/C Participant to make available to the Agent for the account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer its Commitment Percentage
of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other L/C Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available
to the Agent for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer its Commitment Percentage of any payment under such Letter of Credit
on the date required, as specified above, but no L/C Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other L/C Participant
to make available to the Agent such other L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage of any such payment.


 






    57


     


    

 


(d)         Whenever
any Letter of Credit Issuer receives a payment in respect of an unpaid reimbursement obligation as to which the Agent has received
for the account of such Letter of Credit Issuer any payments from the L/C Participants pursuant to clause (c) above,
such Letter of Credit Issuer shall pay to the Agent and the Agent shall promptly pay to each L/C Participant that has paid its
Commitment Percentage of such reimbursement obligation, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such
L/C Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such L/C Participant to the
aggregate amount funded by all L/C Participants) of the principal amount so paid in respect of such reimbursement obligation and
interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective L/C Participations at the Overnight Rate.


 


(e)         The
obligations of the L/C Participants to make payments to the Agent for the account of a Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to
Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or
exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances,
including under any of the following circumstances:


 


(i)           any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Credit Document;


 


(ii)          the
existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in
a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Agent,
the Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender or other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the
Transactions or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower and the beneficiary named
in any such Letter of Credit);


 


(iii)         any
draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient
in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;


 


(iv)         the
surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any term of any Credit Document; or


 


(v)          the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default;


 


but no L/C Participant shall be
obligated to pay to the Agent for the account of any Letter of Credit Issuer its Commitment Percentage of any unreimbursed amount
arising from any wrongful payment made by such Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions
constituting willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer (as determined in a
final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction).


 






    58


     


    

 


3.4          Agreement
to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings.


 


(a)         The
Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse each Letter of Credit Issuer by making payment in Dollars to the Agent for the account of
such Letter of Credit Issuer in immediately available funds, for any payment or disbursement made by such Letter of Credit Issuer
under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”) (i) within
one (1) Business Day of the date of such payment or disbursement if such Letter of Credit Issuer provides notice to the Borrower
of such payment or disbursement before 11:00 a.m. on such next succeeding Business Day (from the date of such payment or
disbursement) or (ii) if such notice is received after such time, on the next Business Day following the date of receipt
of such notice (such required date for reimbursement under clause (i) or (ii), as applicable, on such Business
Day (the “Reimbursement Date”)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Letter of Credit
Issuer, from and including the date of such payment or disbursement to but excluding the Reimbursement Date, at the per annum
rate for each day equal to the rate described in Section 2.8(a); but, notwithstanding anything contained in
this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Letter of Credit, (i) unless the Borrower shall have notified the Agent
and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer before 11:00 a.m. on the Reimbursement Date that the Borrower intends to reimburse
such Letter of Credit Issuer for the amount of such Drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Loans, the Borrower shall be
deemed to have given a Notice of Borrowing requesting that the New Money Lenders make New Money Loans (which shall be ABR Loans)
on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of the Unpaid Drawing, and (ii) the Agent shall promptly notify
each New Money Lender of such Drawing and the amount of its New Money Loan to be made in respect thereof, and each New Money Lender
shall be irrevocably obligated to make a New Money Loan to the Borrower in the manner deemed to have been requested in the amount
of its Commitment Percentage of the applicable Unpaid Drawing by 12:00 noon on such Reimbursement Date by making the amount of
such New Money Loan available to the Agent. Such New Money Loans made in respect of such Unpaid Drawing on such Reimbursement
Date shall be made without regard to the limits of Section 2.2 and without regard to the satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in Article VII. The Agent shall use the proceeds of such New Money Loans solely for purpose of reimbursing
the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer for the related Unpaid Drawing (and upon the application of the proceeds of such New Money
Loans to such Unpaid Drawing, the Borrower’s obligations with respect to such Unpaid Drawing shall be satisfied in full
and replaced with an obligation to repay such Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). In the event that the Borrower
fails to Cash Collateralize any Letter of Credit that is outstanding on the Termination Date (or make other arrangements with
respect thereto satisfactory to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and the Agent), the full amount of the Letter of Exposure
in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an Unpaid Drawing subject to the provisions of this Section 3.4
except that such Letter of Credit Issuer shall hold the proceeds received from the New Money Lenders as contemplated above as
Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit to reimburse any Drawing under such Letter of Credit and shall use such proceeds first,
to reimburse itself for any Drawings made in respect of such Letter of Credit following the L/C Maturity Date, second,
to the extent such Letter of Credit expires or is returned undrawn while any such Cash Collateral remains, to the repayment of
obligations in respect of any Loans that have not paid at such time and third, to the Borrower or as otherwise directed
by a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 3.4(a) shall affect the Borrower’s obligation
to repay all outstanding Loans when due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.


 






    59


     


    

 


(b)         The
obligations of the Borrower under this section to reimburse each Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including,
in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off,
counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower or any other Person may have or have had against such Letter of Credit Issuer,
the Agent or any Lender (including in its capacity as an L/C Participant), including any defense based upon the failure of any
drawing under a Letter of Credit (each a “Drawing”) to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any
non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing; but the Borrower shall not be obligated
to reimburse any Letter of Credit Issuer for any wrongful payment made by such Letter of Credit Issuer under the Letter of Credit
issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of such
Letter of Credit Issuer (as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction).


 


3.5          Increased
Costs. If, after the Interim Facility Effective Date, the adoption of any Change in Law shall either (a) impose,
modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy, liquidity or similar requirement against Letters of Credit issued
by any Letter of Credit Issuer, or any L/C Participant’s L/C Participation therein, or (b) impose on any Letter of
Credit Issuer or any L/C Participant any other conditions, costs or expenses affecting its obligations under this Agreement in
respect of Letters of Credit or L/C Participations therein or any Letter of Credit or such L/C Participant’s L/C Participation
therein, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant
of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, as applicable, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant hereunder (other than (i) Taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.4,
(ii) Taxes described in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” or
(iii) Connection Income Taxes) in respect of Letters of Credit or L/C Participations therein, then, promptly (and in any
event no later than fifteen (15) Business Days) after receipt of written demand to the Borrower by such Letter of Credit Issuer
or such L/C Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which notice shall be sent by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C
Participant to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant for such increased cost or reduction, it being
understood and agreed, however, that such Letter of Credit Issuer or an L/C Participant shall not be entitled to such compensation
as a result of such Person’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any such Requirement
of Law as in effect on the Interim Facility Effective Date (except as otherwise set forth in the definition of Change in Law).
A certificate submitted to the Borrower by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer or an L/C Participant, as the case may be (a copy
of which certificate shall be sent by such Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant to the Agent), setting forth in reasonable
detail the basis for the determination of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Letter of Credit Issuer
or such L/C Participant as aforesaid shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error.

3.6          New
or Successor Letter of Credit Issuers.


 


(a)         Any
Letter of Credit Issuer may resign as a Letter of Credit Issuer upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the Agent, the Lenders
and the Borrower. The Borrower may replace any Letter of Credit Issuer for any reason upon notice to such Letter of Credit Issuer
and the Agent and may add Letter of Credit Issuers at any time upon notice to the Agent. If any Letter of Credit Issuer shall
resign or be replaced, or if the Borrower shall decide to add a new Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement, then the Borrower
may appoint from among the Lenders a successor issuer of Letters of Credit or a new Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be,
or, with the consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) and such new Letter of Credit Issuer, another
successor or new issuer of Letters of Credit, whereupon such successor issuer shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of
the replaced or resigning Letter of Credit Issuer under the Credit Documents, or such new issuer of Letters of Credit shall be
granted the rights, powers and duties of a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, and the term “Letter of Credit Issuer”
means such successor or such new issuer of Letters of Credit effective upon such appointment. The acceptance of any appointment
as a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder whether as a successor issuer or new issuer of Letters of Credit in accordance with this
Agreement, shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit, in a form reasonably
satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, such new or successor issuer
of Letters of Credit shall become a “Letter of Credit Issuer” hereunder. After the resignation or replacement
of a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall
continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Letter of Credit Issuer under the Credit Documents with respect to Letters
of Credit issued by it before such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
In connection with any resignation or replacement pursuant to this clause (a) (but, in case of any such resignation,
only to the extent that a successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall have been appointed), either (i) the Borrower, the
resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall arrange to have any outstanding
Letters of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer replaced with Letters of Credit issued by the successor
issuer of Letters of Credit or (ii) the Borrower shall cause the successor issuer of Letters of Credit, if such successor
issuer is reasonably satisfactory to the replaced or resigning Letter of Credit Issuer, to issue “back-stop” Letters
of Credit naming the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer as beneficiary for each outstanding Letter of Credit issued
by the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer, which new Letters of Credit shall have a Stated Amount equal to the Letters
of Credit being back-stopped and the sole requirement for drawing on such new Letters of Credit shall be a drawing on the corresponding
back-stopped Letters of Credit. After any resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer’s resignation or replacement as
Letter of Credit Issuer, the provisions of this Agreement relating to a Letter of Credit Issuer shall inure to its benefit as
to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it (A) while it was a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement or (B) at
any time with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer.


 






    61


     


    

 


(b)         To
the extent that there are, at the time of any resignation or replacement as set forth in clause (a) above, any outstanding
Letters of Credit, nothing herein shall be deemed to impact or impair any rights and obligations of any party hereto with respect
to such outstanding Letters of Credit (including any obligations related to the payment of fees or the reimbursement or funding
of amounts drawn), except that the Borrower, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and the successor issuer of Letters
of Credit shall have the obligations regarding outstanding Letters of Credit described in clause (a) above.


 


3.7          Role
of Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any Drawing, no Letter of Credit Issuer
shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required
by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the
Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Letter of Credit Issuers, the Agent, any of their respective Affiliates
nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (a) any action
taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Majority Lenders, (b) any action taken
or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct or (c) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or
enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all
risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; but this assumption
is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the
beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Letter of Credit Issuers, the Agent, any of their respective
Affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any
matter described in Section 3.3(e); but anything in such Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower
may have a claim against the Letter of Credit Issuer, and the Letter of Credit Issuer may be liable to the Borrower in accordance
with Section 3.4(b) and, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to special, indirect,
consequential, exemplary or punitive, damages suffered by the Borrower as a result of such Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful
misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence (as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction)
or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the
beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Letter of Credit Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face
to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and
no Letter of Credit Issuer shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part,
which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.


 


3.8          Cash
Collateral.


 


(a)         If,
as of the L/C Maturity Date, there are any Letters of Credit Outstanding, the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize such
Letters of Credit Outstanding; provided that, the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize such Letters of
Credit Outstanding if arrangements to backstop, convert or roll-over such Letters of Credit have been made to the satisfaction
of such applicable Letter of Credit Issuer (it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
no Lender shall be under any obligation to fund participations in respect of any Letter of Credit after the L/C Maturity Date).


 






    62


     


    

 


(b)         If
any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Majority Lenders may direct the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C
Obligations and, within one (1) Business Day of the Borrower’s receipt of such direction, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize
such L/C Obligations.


 


(c)         For
purposes of this Agreement, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge (as a security interest with the priority
set forth in the DIP Order) and deposit with or deliver to the Agent, for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer and the New
Money Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances in an amount equal to 103% of the amount
of the applicable Letters of Credit Outstanding required or permitted to be Cash Collateralized pursuant to documentation in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuers (which documents are hereby consented to by
the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of
the Letter of Credit Issuers and the L/C Participants, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances
therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Such Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts
established by and in the name of the Borrower, but under the “control” (as defined in Section 9-104 of the Uniform
Commercial Code) of the Agent.


 


3.9          Applicability
of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of
Credit is issued, (a) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (b) the rules of
the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce
at the time of issuance, shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.


 


3.10        Conflict
with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms hereof and the terms of any
Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.


 


3.11        Letters
of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support
of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Guarantor, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Letter
of Credit Issuer hereunder for any and all Drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance
of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business
derives substantial benefits from the businesses of its Subsidiaries.


 


Article IV

FEES; COMMITMENTS


 


4.1          Fees.


 


(a)         The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent in Dollars, for the account of each New Money Lender (in each case pro rata according
to the respective Commitment Percentages of the New Money Lenders), a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”)
for each day from the Interim Facility Effective Date until but excluding the Termination Date. Each Commitment Fee shall be payable
by the Borrower (i) monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each month (for the one-month period (or portion thereof)
ended on such day for which no payment has been received) and (ii) on the Termination Date (for the period ended on such
date for which no payment has been received pursuant to clause (i) above) and shall accrue for each day during such
period at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate in effect on such day on the average daily amount of Available Commitment.


 






    63


     


    

 


(b)         The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent in Dollars for the account of the New Money Lenders pro rata on the basis of their
respective Letter of Credit Exposure, a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”),
for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit until the termination or expiration date of such Letter of Credit
computed at the per annum rate for each day equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans on the average daily Stated Amount
of such Letter of Credit. Such Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable (i) monthly in arrears on the last Business
Day of each calendar month and (ii) on the Termination Date (for the period for which no payment has been received pursuant
to clause (i) above).


 


(c)         The
Borrower agrees to pay to each Letter of Credit Issuer a fronting fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it, for the
period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to the termination or expiration date of such Letter of Credit, computed
at the rate for each day equal to 0.125% per annum (or such other amount a may be agreed in a separate writing between the Borrower
and any Letter of Credit Issuer) on the average daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit (or at such other rate per annum
as agreed in writing between the Borrower and the Letter of Credit Issuer). Such fronting fees shall be due and payable by the
Borrower (i) monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month and (ii) on the Termination Date (for
the period for which no payment has been received pursuant to clause (i) above).


 


(d)         The
Borrower agrees to pay directly to each Letter of Credit Issuer upon each issuance of, drawing under, and/or amendment of, a Letter
of Credit issued by it such amount as such Letter of Credit Issuer and the Borrower shall have agreed upon for issuances of, Drawings
under or amendments of, Letters of Credit issued by it.


 


(e)         The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in the Fee Letters, and as otherwise
set forth in writing from time to time between the Agent and the Borrower.


 


4.2          Termination
or Reduction of Commitments.


 


(a)         Upon
at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Agent
at the Agent’s Office (which notice the Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the New Money Lenders), the Borrower shall
have the right, without premium or penalty, on any day, to permanently terminate or reduce the Commitments, as determined by the
Borrower, in whole or in part; but (i) any such termination or reduction shall apply ratably to reduce each New Money
Lender’s Commitment, (ii) any partial reduction pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be in the amount of
at least $10,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $2,500,000 in excess thereof and (iii) after giving effect to such termination
or reduction and to any prepayments of New Money Loans and to the cancellation or Cash Collateralization of Letters of Credit
(or other arrangements with respect thereto satisfactory to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and the Agent) made on the
date thereof in accordance with this Agreement, the Total Exposure shall not exceed the Loan Limit in effect at such date.


 






    64


     


    

 


(b)         The
Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than two (2) Business Days’
prior notice to the Agent (which will promptly notify the New Money Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.15(f) will
apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on
account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts), but such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release
of any claim the Borrower, the Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.


 


(c)         Unless
previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Termination Date.


 


Article V

PAYMENTS


 


5.1          Voluntary
Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans, in each case, without premium or penalty, in whole
or in part from time to time, subject to the following terms and conditions:


 


(a)         the
Borrower shall give the Agent at the Agent’s Office written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing)
of (1) the Borrower’s intent to make such prepayment, (2) the amount of such prepayment, (3) the Type and
Class of Loans to be prepaid and (4) in the case of LIBOR Loans, the specific Borrowing(s) being prepaid, which
notice shall be given by the Borrower no later than (i) in the case of LIBOR Loans, 1:00 p.m. three (3) Business
Days before the date of such prepayment and (ii) in the case of ABR Loans, 1:00 p.m. on the date of such prepayment,
and in each case, shall promptly be transmitted by the Agent to each of the Lenders of the applicable Class;


 


(b)         each
partial prepayment of (i) LIBOR Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof,
and (ii) any ABR Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof; but no partial
prepayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding LIBOR Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing
to an amount less than $1,000,000 for such LIBOR Loans;


 


(c)         any
prepayment of LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section 5.1 on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable
thereto shall be subject to compliance by the Borrower with the applicable provisions of Section 2.11; and


 


(d)         notwithstanding
the foregoing, no prepayment (whether voluntary or otherwise) of Roll-Up Loans may be made until all New Money Loans and all other
Obligations in respect thereof have been paid in full in cash and all Commitments have been terminated and no prepayment (whether
voluntary or otherwise) of Incremental Roll-Up Loans may be made until all New Money Roll-Up Loans have been paid in full in cash.


 






    65


     


    

 


With respect to each prepayment of Loans
elected under this Section 5.1, the Borrower may designate (i) the Types and Class of Loans that are to
be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) being repaid and (ii) the Loans to be prepaid; but (A) each prepayment
of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans of the same Class and (B) notwithstanding
the provisions of the preceding clause (A), no prepayment of Loans shall be applied to the Loans of any Defaulting Lender unless
otherwise agreed in writing by the Borrower. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower under Section 5.2(b),
the Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize
breakage costs owing under Section 2.11.


 


5.2          Mandatory
Prepayments.


 


(a)         Repayment
of Loans Following Excess Exposure. If at any time, including as a result of giving effect to any termination or reduction
of the Commitments pursuant to Section 4.2(a) or for any other reason, the Total Exposure exceeds the Loan Limit,
then the Borrower shall on the same Business Day (i) prepay the New Money Loans on the date such excess has occurred in an
aggregate principal amount equal to such excess and (ii) if any excess remains after prepaying all of the New Money Loans
as a result of any Letter of Credit Exposure, pay to the Agent on behalf of the Letter of Credit Issuers and the L/C Participants
an amount in cash equal to such excess to be held as Cash Collateral as provided in Section 3.8.


 


(b)         LIBOR
Interest Periods. In lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 5.2 in respect of any LIBOR Loan, other
than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Borrower at its option may deposit, on behalf of the Borrower, with the Agent an amount equal to the amount of LIBOR Loan to be
prepaid and such LIBOR Loan shall be repaid on the last day of the Interest Period therefor in the required amount. Such deposit
shall be held by the Agent in a corporate time deposit account established on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, earning
interest at the then-customary rate for accounts of such type. Such deposit shall constitute Cash Collateral for LIBOR Loans to
be so prepaid; but the Borrower may at any time direct that such deposit be applied to make the applicable payment required pursuant
to this Section 5.2.


 


5.3          Method
and Place of Payment.


 


(a)         Except
as otherwise specifically provided herein and in the other Credit Documents, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by
the Borrower without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders of the
Class entitled thereto or the Letter of Credit Issuer entitled thereto, as the case may be, not later than 2:00 p.m., in
each case, on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds at the Agent’s Office or at such other
office as the Agent shall specify for such purpose by notice to the Borrower; it being understood that written or facsimile notice
by the Borrower to the Agent to make a payment from the funds in the Borrower’s account at the Agent’s Office shall
constitute the making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account. All repayments or prepayments of any Loans
(whether of principal, interest or otherwise) hereunder and all other payments under each Credit Document shall be made in Dollars.
The Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually received by the Agent before 2:00 p.m. or,
if payment was not actually so received by the Agent by such time, on the next Business Day in the sole discretion of the Agent),
like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees ratably to the Lenders and/or the Letter of Credit Issuers,
as applicable, entitled thereto.


 






    66


     


    

 


(b)         For
purposes of computing interest or fees, any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m. in respect of
Loans shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day in the sole discretion of the Agent. Whenever any
payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended
to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension
at the applicable rate in effect immediately before such extension.


 


5.4          Net
Payments.


 


(a)         Any
and all payments made by or on behalf of any Debtor under any Credit Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction
or withholding for or on account of, any Indemnified Taxes; but if the Borrower or any Guarantor or the Agent shall be
required by applicable Requirements of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the Borrower or such
Guarantor or the Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings as are reasonably determined by the Borrower, such Guarantor
or the Agent to be required by any applicable Requirement of Law, (ii) the Borrower, such Guarantor or the Agent, as applicable,
shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority within the time allowed and in accordance
with applicable Requirements of Law, and (iii) to the extent withholding or deduction is required to be made on account of
Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower or such Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all
required deductions and withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.4),
the Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions
or withholdings on account of Indemnified Taxes been made. Whenever any Indemnified Taxes are payable by the Borrower or such
Guarantor, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Borrower or Guarantor shall send to the Agent for its own account or for the
account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an official receipt (or other evidence acceptable to such Lender,
acting reasonably) received by the Borrower or such Guarantor showing payment thereof. After any payment of Taxes by any Debtor
or the Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 5.4, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent
or the Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, a copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing
such payment, a copy of any return required by laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory
to the Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be.


 


(b)         The
Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of
Law.


 


(c)         The
Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each Lender within fifteen (15) Business Days after written demand therefor,
for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes imposed on the Agent or such Lender or required to be deducted or withheld from a
payment to the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to
amounts payable under this Section 5.4), and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether
or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; but no indemnification
payment shall be due under this Section 5.4 to the extent such payment is duplicative of any payment made by
a Debtor under any other provision of this Agreement or under any other Credit Document. A certificate setting forth in reasonable
detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy
to the Agent) or the Agent (as applicable) on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


 






    67


     


    

 


(d)         Each
Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such
properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and such other reasonably requested
information as will permit the Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not any payments made
under any Credit Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such
Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of any payments to be
made to such Lender by any Debtor pursuant to any Credit Document or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding
tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver
such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the
Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation
(other than the documentation set forth in Section 5.4(e), (h) and (i)) shall not be required if
in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed
cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.


 


(e)         Without
limiting the generality of Section 5.4(d), any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Borrower or the Agent) on or before
the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable
request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:


 


(i)           in
the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with
respect to payments of interest under any Credit Document, executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or
W-8BEN-E (or any applicable successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant
to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any
Credit Document, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any applicable successor form) establishing an
exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income”
article of such tax treaty;


 


(ii)          executed
originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any applicable successor form);


 






    68


     


    

 


(iii)         in
the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of
the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of
the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code,
or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax
Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or
any applicable successor form); or


 


(iv)         to
the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or
any applicable successor form), accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN
or W-8BEN-E (or any applicable successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9
(or any applicable successor form), and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; but if
the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one (1) or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming
the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct
and indirect partner; and


 


(v)          two
(2) further copies of any such form or certification (or any applicable successor form) on or before the date that any such
form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, inaccurate or invalid, after the occurrence of any event requiring a change
in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower, and from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by
the Borrower and the Agent; unless in any such case any Change in Law has occurred before the date on which any such delivery
would otherwise be required that renders any such form inapplicable or would prevent such Non-U.S. Lender from duly completing
and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Non-U.S. Lender promptly so advises the Borrower and the Agent. Each
Person that shall become a Participant pursuant to Section 13.6 or a Lender pursuant to Section 13.6 shall,
upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all the forms and statements required pursuant to this
Section 5.4(e); but in the case of a Participant, such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements
to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.


 


(f)          If
any Lender or the Agent, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion, that it had received and retained a refund (or the
monetary benefit of a credit in lieu of a refund) of an Indemnified Tax for which a payment has been made by the Borrower or any
Guarantor pursuant to any Credit Document, which refund (or credit) in the good faith judgment of such Lender or the Agent, as
the case may be, is attributable to such payment made by the Borrower or any Guarantor, then such Lender or the Agent, as the
case may be, shall reimburse the Borrower or such Guarantor for such amount (net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender
or the Agent, as the case may be, and without interest other than any interest received thereon from the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund (or credit)) as such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, determines in its sole discretion
to be the proportion of the refund (or credit) as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position (taking
into account expenses or any taxes imposed on the refund (or credit)) than it would have been in if the payment had not been required;
but the Borrower or such Guarantor, upon the request of such Lender or the Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over
to the Borrower or such Guarantor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority)
to such Lender or the Agent in the event such Lender or the Agent is required to repay such refund (or credit) to such Governmental
Authority. In such event, such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower
with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund (or credit) received from the
relevant Governmental Authority (but such Lender or the Agent may delete any information therein that it deems confidential).
Each Lender and the Agent shall claim any refund (or credit) that it determines is available to it, unless it concludes in its
sole discretion that it would be adversely affected by making such a claim. No Lender nor the Agent shall be obliged to make available
its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Debtor in connection with this
clause (f) or any other provision of this Section 5.4.

(g)         If
the Borrower determines that a reasonable basis exists for contesting a Tax, each Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, shall
use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower as the Borrower may reasonably request in challenging such Tax. The Borrower
shall indemnify and hold each Lender and the Agent harmless against any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Person in connection
with any request made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.4(g). Nothing in this Section 5.4(g) shall
obligate any Lender or the Agent to take any action that such Person, in its sole judgment, determines may result in a material
detriment to such Person.


 


(h)         The
Agent, and each Lender that is a United States person under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each such Lender, a “U.S.
Lender”), shall deliver to the Borrower and, as applicable, to the Agent, two (2) Internal Revenue Service Forms
W-9 (or substitute or successor form), properly completed and duly executed, certifying that such Person is exempt from United
States federal backup withholding (i) on or before the Interim Facility Effective Date (or on or before the date it becomes
a party to this Agreement), (ii) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, inaccurate or invalid,
(iii) after the occurrence of a change in such Person’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form previously
delivered by it to the Borrower and, as applicable, to the Agent, and (iv) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested
by the Borrower or, as applicable, the Agent.


 


(i)          If
a payment made to any Lender or the Agent under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by
FATCA if such Person were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in
Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent
at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation
prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such
additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent
to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Person has or has not complied with such Person’s obligations
under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 5.4(i),
 “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.


 






    70


     


    

 


(j)          For
the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 5.4, the term “Lender” includes any Letter of Credit
Issuer.


 


(k)         The
agreements in this Section 5.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of
rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts
payable hereunder.


 


(l)          For
purposes of this Section 5.4, the term “Requirement of Law” includes FATCA.


 


5.5          Computations
of Interest and Fees.


 


(a)         Except
as provided in the next succeeding sentence, interest on Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360)
day year for the actual days elapsed, but interest on ABR Loans in respect of which the rate of interest is calculated
on the basis of the Agent’s prime rate and interest on overdue interest shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred
sixty five (365) - (or three hundred sixty six (366), as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.


 


(b)         Fees
and the average daily Stated Amount of Letters of Credit shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year
for the actual days elapsed.


 


5.6          Limit
on Rate of Interest.


 


(a)         No
Payment Shall Exceed Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be obligated to
pay any interest or other amounts under or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise in respect to any Obligation in excess
of the amount or rate permitted under or consistent with any applicable Requirement of Law.


 


(b)         Payment
at Highest Lawful Rate. If the Borrower is not obliged to make a payment that it would otherwise be required to make, as a
result of Section 5.6(a), the Borrower shall make such payment to the maximum extent permitted by or consistent with
applicable Requirement of Law.


 


(c)         Adjustment
if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate. If any provision of any Credit Document would obligate any Debtor to make any payment
of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate that would be prohibited by any applicable
Requirement of Law, then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive
effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable Requirements
of Law, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid
by the Borrower to the affected Lender under Section 2.8.


 


(d)         Rebate
of Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any
Lender shall have received from the Borrower an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by any applicable Requirement of Law,
then the Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Agent to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal
to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to the Borrower.

Article VIII

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES


 


In order to induce
the Lenders to enter into this Agreement, to make the Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit as provided for herein,
the Debtors make, on the Interim Facility Effective Date, the Final Facility Effective Date and on each other date as required
by this Agreement, the following representations and warranties to the Lenders:


 


8.1          Corporate
Status. Subject to any restrictions arising on account of any Debtor’s status as a “debtor” under
the Bankruptcy Code and entry of the DIP Orders, each Debtor (a) is a duly organized and validly existing corporation or
other entity in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the corporate or other organizational
power and authority to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged, and (c) has duly
qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions where it is required to be so qualified,
except in each case referred to in clauses (b) and (c), where the failure to have such power and authority or be so qualified
would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.


 


8.2          Corporate
Power and Authority; Enforceability. Subject to any restrictions arising on account of any Debtor’s status as
a “debtor” under the Bankruptcy Code and entry of the DIP Order, each Debtor has the corporate or other organizational
power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the Credit Documents to which it is a party
and has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the
Credit Documents to which it is a party. Each Debtor has duly executed and delivered each Credit Document to which it is a party
and each such Credit Document, upon entry of the Interim Order or the Final Order, as applicable, constitutes the legal, valid
and binding obligation of such Debtor enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to entry of each DIP Order, and further
subject to other bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization and other similar laws relating to or affecting
creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or law).


 


8.3          No
Violation. Subject to the entry of the DIP Order, none of the execution, delivery or performance by any Debtor of the
Credit Documents to which it is a party or the compliance with the terms and provisions thereof will (a) contravene any material
applicable provision of any material Requirement of Law, (b) result in any breach of any terms, covenants, conditions or
provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose)
any Lien upon any property or assets of such Debtor (other than Liens and security interests in favor of the Agent (or any designee)
created under the Credit Documents) pursuant to the terms of any indenture, loan agreement, lease agreement, mortgage, deed of
trust, agreement or other instrument to which such Debtor is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound
(any such term, covenant, condition or provision, a “Contractual Requirement”) except to the extent such breach,
default or Lien that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (c) violate any provision
of the certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documents of such Debtor.


 






    77


     


    

 


8.4          Litigation.
Except as set forth on Schedule 8.4, and other than the Bankruptcy Cases, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending
or, to the knowledge of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, threatened in writing with respect to any Debtor or any of their
respective properties, that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and is not otherwise subject to
the Automatic Stay as a result of the Bankruptcy Cases.


 


8.5          Margin
Regulations. The proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit will not be used by any Debtor in violation of the provisions
of Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board. No Debtor is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities,
in the business of extending credit for the purpose of buying or carrying margin stock.


 


8.6          Governmental
Approvals. Subject to the entry of the DIP Order, the execution, delivery and performance of each Credit Document do

Borrower with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, (c) those that may be required from time to time in the ordinary course
of business that may be required to comply with certain covenants contained in the Credit Documents, and (d) such consents,
approvals, registrations, filings or actions the failure of which to obtain or make would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

Company Act. No Debtor is an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended.


 


8.8          True
and Complete Disclosure.


 


(a)         None
of the written factual information and written data (taken as a whole) furnished by or on behalf of any Debtor or any of their
respective authorized representatives to the Agent and/or any Lender (including all such information and data contained in the
Credit Documents) for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction (other than information of a general
industry nature or constituting projections, projected financial information, forward looking information or prospect information)
contained any untrue statement of any material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make such information and
data (taken as a whole) not materially misleading at such time (after giving effect to all supplements so furnished before such
time) in light of the circumstances under which such information or data was furnished; it being understood and agreed that for
purposes of this Section 8.8(a), such factual information and data shall not include pro forma financial information,
projections or estimates (including financial estimates, forecasts and other forward-looking information) and information of a
general economic or general industry nature.


 


(b)         The
projections (including financial estimates, forecasts and other forward-looking information) contained in the information and
data referred to in Section 8.8(a) were based on good faith estimates and assumptions believed by the Borrower
to be reasonable at the time made; it being recognized by the Agent and the Lenders that such projections are as to future events
and are not to be viewed as facts, the projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are
beyond the control of the Debtors, that no assurance can be given that any particular projections will be realized and that actual
results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results and such differences
may be material.


 






    78

with GAAP consistently applied except to the extent provided in the notes thereto, if any, subject, in the case of the unaudited
financial information, to changes resulting from audit, normal year end audit adjustments and to the absence of footnotes.


 


(b)         No
Debtor has any material Indebtedness (including Disqualified Stock), off balance sheet liabilities, partnership liabilities for
taxes or unusual forward or long-term commitments that, in each case, are not reflected or provided for in the Historical Financial
Statements, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


8.10        Tax
Matters. Except where the failure of which would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each
of the Debtor has filed all U.S. federal income tax returns and all other tax returns, domestic and foreign, required to be filed
by it and has paid or caused to be paid all material taxes payable by it that have become due, other than those (i) not yet
delinquent, (ii) the nonpayment of which is excused, permitted, or required by the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) being contested

Borrower, its directors and agents, are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects
and are not knowingly engaged in any activity that would reasonably be expected to result in the Borrower being designated as

respective directors, officers or employees, or (b) to the knowledge of the Authorized Officers of the Borrower, any agent
of any Debtor that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the DIP Facility, is a Sanctioned Person. No Borrowing

    80

Passu or Priority Status. No Debtor has taken any action which would cause the claims of unsecured creditors

stayed, reversed, modified or amended without the prior written consent of the Agent.  After the entry of the Interim Order,
pursuant to and to the extent permitted in such DIP Order, (i) in respect of each of the Debtors, the Obligations will constitute
allowed joint and several superpriority administrative expense claims in each of the Bankruptcy Cases pursuant to Section 364(c)(1) of
the Bankruptcy Code, having priority over any and all other administrative expenses and claims of any kind or nature whatsoever,

have insufficient aggregate capacity or are unwilling or otherwise fail or refuse to enter into Hedge Agreements with one or more
Credit Parties on commercially reasonable terms consistent with terms available to other similarly situated borrowers, then the
requirements of this Section 9.12 shall be reduced solely to the extent necessary to reflect the maximum volumes for
which the Lenders (and their respective Affiliates) have insufficient aggregate capacity, willingness or otherwise fail or refuse
to enter in such Hedge Agreements.

Article XII

THE AGENT


 


12.1            Appointment.
Each Lender (which, for the purposes of this Article includes each Letter of Credit Issuer) hereby irrevocably designates
and appoints the Agent as the agent of such Lender under the Credit Documents and irrevocably authorizes the Agent, in such capacity,
to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Credit Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties
as are expressly delegated to the Agent by the terms of the Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article (other than Sections 12.10, 12.12 and 12.13 with
respect to the Borrower) are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as third
party beneficiary of any such provision. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Agent
shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in the Credit Documents, or any fiduciary relationship
with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into
any Credit Document or otherwise exist against the Agent.


 


12.2            Delegation
of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under the Credit Documents by or through agents, sub-agents, employees
or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall
not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in the absence
of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).


 


12.3            Exculpatory
Provisions. Neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates
shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with any Credit
Document (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in the final judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth in any Credit Document) (IT BEING THE
INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT THE AGENT AND ANY RELATED PARTIES SHALL, IN ALL CASES, BE INDEMNIFIED FOR ITS ORDINARY,
COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any Lender or any Participant for any
recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Debtor or any officer thereof contained in any Credit Document
or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in
connection with, any Credit Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of
any Credit Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the
Security Documents, or for any failure of any Debtor to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agent shall not be
under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained
in, or conditions of, any Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Debtor or any Affiliate thereof.
The Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer to ascertain or to inquire as to the
observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, any Credit Document, or to inspect the properties,
books or records of any Debtor.


 






    106


     


    

 


12.4            Reliance.
The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate,
affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or instruction believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal
counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent may deem
and treat the Lender specified in the Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes
unless a notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent. The Agent shall be fully
justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence
of the Majority Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any
and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent
shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under the Credit Documents in accordance with a
request of the Majority Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon
all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans; but the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion
or in the opinion of its counsel, may expose it to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable Requirements
of Law. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Article VI and Article VII
on the Interim Facility Effective Date, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved
or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable
or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice from such Lender before the proposed Interim Facility
Effective Date specifying its objection thereto.


 


12.5            Notice
of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default hereunder unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such
Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Agent receives
such a notice, it shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event
of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof; but unless and until the
Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking
such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

12.6            Non-Reliance
on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act
by the Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Debtor, shall be deemed to constitute any representation
or warranty by the Agent to any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer. Each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer acknowledges
to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of each Debtor and made its own decision to make its credit extensions hereunder
and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or
any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Documents, and to make such investigation
as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness
of any Debtor. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent
hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning
the business, assets, operations, properties, financial condition, prospects or creditworthiness of any Debtor that may come into
the possession of the Agent any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.


 


12.7            [Reserved].


 


12.8            Indemnification.
The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Debtors and without limiting
the obligation of the Debtors to do so), ratably according to their respective portions of the Commitments or Loans, as applicable,
outstanding in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which
the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their respective
portions of the Total Exposure in effect immediately before such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any
time occur (including at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent
in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, any Credit Document or any documents contemplated by or referred to
herein or therein or the Transactions or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing;
but no Lender shall be liable to the Agent for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (IT BEING THE INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO
THAT THE AGENT AND ANY RELATED PARTIES SHALL, IN ALL CASES, BE INDEMNIFIED FOR ITS ORDINARY, COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR
SOLE NEGLIGENCE); provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Majority Lenders
(or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Credit Documents) shall be deemed to constitute
gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct for purposes of this section. In the case of any investigation, litigation or
proceeding giving rise to any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses
or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time occur (including at any time following the payment of the Loans),
this section applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without
limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket
expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration,
modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice rendered
in respect of rights or responsibilities under, any Credit Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to
the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower; but such reimbursement by the Lenders
shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. If any indemnity furnished to
the Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Agent may call for additional
indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; but in
no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify the Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty,
action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s pro rata portion thereof; and provided,
further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify the Agent against any liability, obligation, loss,
damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement resulting from the Agent gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct. The agreements in this section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.


 






    108


     


    

 


12.9            Agent
in Its Individual Capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage
in any kind of business with the any Debtor as though the Agent were not the Agent under the Credit Documents. With respect to
the Loans made by it, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Credit Documents as any Lender and may exercise
the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Agent
in its individual capacity.


 


12.10            Successor
Agent. The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the
Borrower. If the Agent becomes a Defaulting Lender, then such Agent may be removed as the Agent at the reasonable request of the
Borrower and the Majority Lenders. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or removal, as the case may be, the Majority
Lenders shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) so long as no
Event of Default under Section 11.1 is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in
the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States but shall not, in any case, be a Defaulting
Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender. If, in the case of the resignation of the Agent, no such successor shall have been
so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the Agent gives notice of its
resignation, then the Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers, appoint a successor Agent meeting the
qualifications set forth above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Agent hereunder, and upon the execution
and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be
necessary or desirable, or as the Majority Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported
to be granted by the Security Documents (if any), such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and
obligations under the Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this section). The fees payable
by the Borrower (following the effectiveness of such appointment) to the successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to
its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation
under the Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article (including Section 12.8) and Section 13.5
shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect
of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as the Agent.


 






    109


     


    

 



 


Any resignation of
any Person as Agent pursuant to this section shall also constitute its resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer (if applicable).
Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer, (b) the retiring Letter
of Credit Issuer shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations under the Credit Documents, and (c) the
successor Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding
at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer to effectively
assume the obligations of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.


 


12.11       Withholding
Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, the Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender
an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States
or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of
any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify
the Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for
any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Agent (to the extent that the Agent has not already been reimbursed by any
applicable Debtor and without limiting the obligation of any applicable Debtor to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly
or indirectly, by the Agent as Tax or otherwise, including penalties, additions to Tax and interest, together with all expenses
incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent
to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document against any amount due to
the Agent under this section. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this section, the term “Lender” includes
any Letter of Credit Issuer.


 


12.12       Security
Documents and Guarantee. Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of Secured
Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents.
Subject to Section 13.1, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Agent may (a) execute
any documents or instruments necessary in connection with a Disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement, (b) release
any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such Disposition of assets or with respect to which Majority
Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 13.1) have otherwise consented
or (c) release any Guarantor from the Guarantee with respect to which Majority Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required
to give such consent under Section 13.1) have otherwise consented (and, in the case of any automatic release of a
Guarantor in accordance with Section 13.17, execute any documents or instruments that may be necessary or advisable
to evidence such release).


 






    110


     


    

 


12.13       Right
to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantee. Anything contained in any Credit Document to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Borrower, the Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (a) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to
realize upon any Collateral or to enforce the Obligations Guarantee; it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and
remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof
and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents and the Obligations Guarantee may be exercised solely by the
Agent, and (b) in the event of a foreclosure by the Agent on any Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other
Disposition, the Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such Disposition
and the Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective
individual capacities unless Majority Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding
and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale,
to use and apply any Obligation as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Agent at such Disposition.


 


12.14       Agent
May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relative to any Debtor,
the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration
or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered,
by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:


 


(a)            to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other
Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims
of the Lenders and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Lenders and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel, to the extent due under Section 13.5) allowed in such
judicial proceeding; and


 


(b)            to
collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;


 


and any custodian, receiver, assignee,
trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender
to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Lenders, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent
and its agents and counsel, to the extent due under Section 13.5.


 






    111


     


    

 


Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to authorize the Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Indebtedness or the rights of any Lender or to authorize
the Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

pay interest at the Default Rate or amend Section 2.8(d)), or forgive any portion, or extend the date for the payment,
of any interest or fee payable hereunder (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in
interest rates), or extend the final expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment or increase the amount of the Commitment
of any Lender, or make any Loan, interest, fee or other amount payable in any currency other than Dollars, in each case without

or modify any definition used in such final paragraph if the effect thereof would be to alter the order of payment specified
therein, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;


 






    112

provided, further,
that any provision of any Credit Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Agent
to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five
(5) Business Days’ prior notice thereof and the Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of
the date of such notice to the Lenders, a notice from the Majority Lenders stating that the Majority Lenders object to such amendment.
Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the affected Lenders and shall
be binding upon the Borrower, such Lenders, the Agent and all future holders of the affected Loans. In the case of any waiver,
the Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights under the Credit Documents, and

respective Related Parties from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether or not such proceedings
are brought by the Borrower, any of its Related Parties or any other third Person (with respect to attorney costs, limited to
the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary outside counsel for all such Persons, taken
as a whole, and, if necessary, of a single firm of local outside counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for all such Persons,
taken as a whole (unless there is an actual or perceived conflict of interest in which case each such Person may retain its own
outside counsel)), with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of the Credit Documents
and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under,
any applicable Environmental Law (other than by such indemnified Person or any of its Related Parties (other than any trustee
or advisor)) or to any actual or alleged presence, release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials involving or attributable
to the operations of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Oil and Gas Property (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively,
the “Indemnified Liabilities”); but the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to the Agent, any Letter
of Credit Issuer or any Lender or any of their respective Related Parties with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent
it has been determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (i) the
gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified or any of its Related Parties (IT BEING THE INTENTION
OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT EACH LENDER, LETTER OF CREDIT ISSUER AND THE AGENT AND THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES SHALL, IN
ALL CASES, BE INDEMNIFIED FOR ITS ORDINARY COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE), (ii) any material breach of any
Credit Document by the party to be indemnified or (iii) disputes, claims, demands, actions, judgments or suits not arising
from any act or omission by the Borrower or its Affiliates, brought by an indemnified Person against any other indemnified Person
(other than disputes, claims, demands, actions, judgments or suits involving claims against the Agent in its capacity as such).
NO PERSON ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER CLAUSE (D) OF THIS SECTION SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING
FROM THE USE BY UNINTENDED RECIPIENTS OF ANY INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIALS DISTRIBUTED BY IT THROUGH TELECOMMUNICATIONS, ELECTRONIC
OR OTHER INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS IN CONNECTION WITH THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS, ELECTRONIC OR OTHER INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS USED BY THE AGENT IS PROVIDED “AS IS”
AND “AS AVAILABLE.” NONE OF THE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ADEQUACY OF SUCH TELECOMMUNICATIONS,
ELECTRONIC OR OTHER INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS.
NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE AGENT OR ANY
OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY COMMUNICATIONS OR ANY TELECOMMUNICATIONS, ELECTRONIC OR OTHER INFORMATION TRANSMISSION
SYSTEMS. No Person entitled to indemnification under clause (d) of this section, nor the Borrower or any Subsidiary,
shall have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect, exemplary or consequential damages (including any loss of profits,
business or anticipated savings) relating to any Credit Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith
(whether before or after the Interim Facility Effective Date); but the foregoing shall not negate the Borrower’s
obligations with respect to Indemnified Liabilities. All amounts payable under this section shall be paid within fifteen (15)
Business Days of receipt by the Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expense in reasonable detail. The agreements
in this section shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. Other than with respect to Taxes
that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim, this section shall not apply with respect to
any claims for Taxes which shall be governed exclusively by Section 5.4 and, to the extent set forth therein, Sections
2.10 and 3.5. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not be obligated under this section with respect to any
allocated costs of in-house counsel.

13.6         Successors

(a)            The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Letter of Credit Issuer that issues any Letter of Credit and any
Affiliate of any Lender that makes a Loan), except that (i) no Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights
or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer
by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights
or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section; provided that any such assignment must comply with any
restrictions on assignments pursuant to the Restructuring Support Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied,
shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted
hereby (including any Affiliate of the Letter of Credit Issuer that issues any Letter of Credit and any Affiliate of any Lender
that makes a Loan), Participants (to the extent provided in Section 13.6(c)) and, to the extent expressly contemplated
hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders and each other Person entitled to

(b)            (i) Subject
to the conditions set forth in clause (b)(ii) below, any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees (other
than an assignee that is not a bank, investment bank, insurance company, mutual fund or other institutional lender, as such terms
are used in the Indentures) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of
its Commitments and the Loans (including participations in L/C Obligations) at the time owing to it, it being understood that
any New Money Lender may assign any of its New Money Loans, New Money Roll-Up Loans or Incremental Roll-Up Loans independently
of all other Classes of Loans hereunder) with the prior written consent of:


 


(A)            the
Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); but no consent of the Borrower shall be required
if (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (y) such assignments are to the other Lenders or Affiliates
with respect to a Lender;


 


(B)            the
Agent and, in the case of an assignment of New Money Loans or Commitments, each Letter of Credit Issuer (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); but no consent of the Agent or a Letter of Credit Issuer shall be required if
such assignment is to a Person that is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender.


 


(ii)            Assignments
shall be subject to the following additional conditions:


 


(A)            except
in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Class of Loans,
(1) the amount of the Commitment or Class of Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined
as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent) shall not be less than
$5,000,000 and increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (2) after giving effect to such assignment, the amount of the
remaining Commitment or Class of Loans of the assigning Lender (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with
respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, in each case unless each of the Borrower,
each Letter of Credit Issuer (in the case of New Money Loans), and the Agent otherwise consents (which consents shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed); but no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
provided, further, that contemporaneous assignments to a single assignee made by Affiliates of Lenders shall be
aggregated for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount requirements stated above;


 






    117


     


    

 


(B)            each
partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement;


 


(C)            the
parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and
recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; but the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and
recordation fee in the case of any assignment; and


 


(D)            the
assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Agent Questionnaire.


 


(iii)            Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 13.6(b)(iv), from and after the effective date specified in
each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder
shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10,
2.11, 3.5, 5.4 and 13.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this
Agreement that does not comply with this section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 13.6(c).


 


(iv)            The
Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Agent’s Office a copy of
each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and
the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest amounts) of the Loans and L/C Obligations and any payment made by
the Letter of Credit Issuers under any Letter of Credit owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
 “Register”). Further, the Register shall contain the name and address of the Agent, the Lenders and the lending
office through which each such Person acts under this Agreement. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest
error, and the Borrower, the Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded
in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice
to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Letter of Credit Issuers and, solely with
respect to itself, each other Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.


 






    118


     


    

 


(v)            Upon
its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s
completed Agent Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred
to in Section 13.6(b) (unless waived) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 13.6(b),
the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. The parties
hereto agree and intend that the obligations under this Agreement shall be treated as being in “registered form” for
the purposes of the Code (including Code Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2)), and the Register and the Participant
Register shall be maintained in accordance with such intention.


 


(c)


 


(i)            Any
Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Agent or any Letter of Credit Issuer, sell participations to one or more
banks or other entities other than an Ineligible Person (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing
to it); but (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender
shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the Borrower, the
Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (D) any such participation must comply with any
restrictions on participations pursuant to the Restructuring Support Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which
a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to
approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of any Credit Document; but such agreement or instrument
may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver
described in clauses (i) or (ii) of the proviso to Section 13.1 that affects such Participant; but
the Participant shall have no right to consent to any modification to the percentages specified in the definitions of the terms
 “Majority Lenders” or “Required Lenders”. Subject to Section 13.6(c)(ii), the Borrower agrees
that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 and 5.4 to the
same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections as though it were a Lender and
had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.6(b), including the requirements of clauses (e),
(f) and (i) of Section 5.4). To the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, each Participant
also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.8(a) as though it were a Lender if such Participant agrees
to be subject to Section 13.8(a) as though it were a Lender.


 






    119


     


    

 


(ii)            A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4
than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld); but the Participant shall be subject to the provisions in Section 2.12
as if it were an assignee under clauses (a) and (b) of this section. Each Lender that sells a participation
shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name
and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each Participant’s interest
in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the
Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded
in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to
the contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including
the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters
of Credit or its other Obligations under any Credit Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish
that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of
the United States Treasury Regulations.


 






    120


     


    

 


(d)            Any
Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuers at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank
or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of
a security interest; but no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.


 


(e)            Subject
to Section 13.16, the Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant, secured creditor of such Lender
or assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such
Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of
the Borrower and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower
and its Affiliates in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Affiliates before becoming
a party to this Agreement.


 


(f)            The
words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Acceptance
shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same
legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as
the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global
and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on
the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.


 






    121


     


    

 


13.7         Replacement
of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.


 


(a)            The
Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (i) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10,
3.5 or 5.4, (ii) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.10(a)(iii). and as a result thereof
any of the actions described in such Section is required to be taken, (iii) becomes a Defaulting Lender, (iv) does
not consent to any waiver or amendment desired by the Borrower requiring the consent of all Lenders, all Lenders directly affected
thereby or the Required Lenders (so long as the Majority Lenders have consented thereto), or (v) has failed to fund Loans,
participations in Letters of Credit or has made a notification or public statement that it does not intend or expect to comply
with its funding obligations hereunder, in each case as a result of its determination that a condition precedent to funding has
not or cannot be satisfied pursuant to the definition of “Lender Default”, in each case, with a replacement bank,
lending institution or other financial institution, if (A) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law,
(B) no Event of Default under Section 11.1 shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement,
(C) the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and the Borrower shall pay all other amounts (other
than any disputed amounts), pursuant to Section 2.10, 3.5 or 5.4, as the case may be owing to such replaced
Lender before the date of replacement, (D) the replacement bank or institution shall be subject to the consent of the Agent,
and the Letter of Credit Issuers (to the extent the consent of such Person would be required if an assignment were being made
to such replacement bank or institution under Section 13.6(b)), (E) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to
make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6(b) (but the Borrower shall be obligated
to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), and (F) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.


 


(b)            Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, each party hereto agrees that any assignment pursuant to the terms of this Section 13.7
may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the Borrower, the Agent and the assignee and that the
Lender making such assignment need not be a party thereto.


 


13.8         Adjustments;
Set-off.


 


(a)            If
any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment in respect of any principal of or interest
on all or part of the Loans made by it, or the participations in Letters of Credit held by it, or receive any collateral in respect
thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 11.5,
or otherwise), in a greater proportion than such Benefited Lender is entitled to pursuant to the Credit Documents (pursuant to
the payment priorities set forth in the last paragraph of Article XI) with respect to any such payment to or collateral
received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender
shall (i) notify the Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase for cash at face value from the other Lenders a participating
interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any
such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or
benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal of and accrued interest on their respective
Loans and other amounts owing them; but (A) if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter
recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent
of such recovery, but without interest and (B) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (1) any
payment made by any Debtor pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of the Credit Documents, (2) any payment
obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans, Commitments or participations
in Drawings to any assignee or Participant or (3) any disproportionate payment obtained by a Lender as a result of the extension
by Lenders of the maturity date or expiration date of some but not all Loans or Commitments or any increase in the Applicable
Margin in respect of Loans or Commitments of Lenders that have consented to any such extension. Each Debtor consents to the foregoing
and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Requirements of Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant
to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Debtor rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation
as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Debtor in the amount of such participation.


 






    122


     


    

 


(b)            After
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, but subject to the Enforcement Notice Period, in addition to
any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Requirements of Law, each Lender, and each Affiliate of such Lender, shall
have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted
by applicable Requirements of Law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower under any Credit Document (whether
at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in
any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing
by such Lender, or such Affiliate of such Lender, or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower.
Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower (and the Debtors, if applicable) and the Agent after any such set-off and application
made by such Lender or such Affiliate of such Lender; but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
set-off and application.


 


13.9            Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including
by facsimile or other electronic transmission, i.e. a “pdf” or a “tif”), and all of said counterparts
taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all
the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Agent. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,”
 “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any  document to be signed in connection with this Agreement,
any other Credit Document and the Transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries
or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a
manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to
the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the
New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions
Act; provided that, in respect of documents to be signed by entities established within the European Union, the Electronic
Signature qualifies as a “qualified electronic signature” within the meaning of the Regulation (EU) n°910/2014
of the European parliament and of the Council of 23 July 2014 on electronic identification and trust services for electronic
transaction in the internal market as amended from time to time.


 






    123


     


    

 


13.10       Severability.
Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition
or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.


 


13.11       Integration.
The Credit Documents represent the agreement of the Debtors, the Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof
and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Debtors, the Agent nor any Lender relative
to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to in the Credit Documents.


 


13.12       GOVERNING
LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND (TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE) THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.


 


13.13       Submission
to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:


 


(a)            agrees
that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in
contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Agent, any Lender, the Letter OF CREDIT ISSUER, or any Related Party of the foregoing
in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum
other than the Bankruptcy Court and if the Bankruptcy Court does not have (or abstains from) jurisdiction, the courts of the State
of Texas sitting in HOUSTON, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally
submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding
may be heard and determined in such courts. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation
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. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document shall affect any right that the Agent, any Lender or the Letter
of Credit Issuer may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document
against the Borrower or any other DEBTOR or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction;


 


(b)            agrees
that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified
mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Person at its address set forth on Schedule 13.2
at such other address of which the Agent shall have been notified pursuant to Section 13.2;


 






    124


     


    

 


(c)            agrees
that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by Requirements of Law or
shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction;


 


(d)            waives,
to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred
to in this section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages; and


 


(e)            agrees
that a final judgment in any 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.


 


13.14       Acknowledgments.
Each Debtor hereby acknowledges that:


 


(a)            it
has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of the Credit Documents;


 


(b)            (i) the
DIP Facility and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment,
waiver or other modification of any Credit Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Debtors, on
the one hand, and the Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, and the Debtors are capable of evaluating and understanding and
understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the Transactions (including any amendment, waiver or other modification
hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to any Transaction, each of the Agent and the Lenders is
and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary for any Debtor or any of their
respective Affiliates, equity holders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) neither the Agent nor any Lender
has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Debtor with respect to any Transaction
or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Credit Document (irrespective
of whether the Agent or any Lender has advised or is currently advising any Debtor or their respective Affiliates on other matters)
and none of the Agent or any Lender has any obligation to any Debtor or their respective Affiliates with respect to the Transactions,
in each case, except those obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents; (iv) the Debtors and their respective
Affiliates will not assert any claim based on alleged breach of fiduciary duty; (v) the Agent and its Affiliates and each
Lender and its Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the
Borrower and its respective Affiliates, and none of the Agent or any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests
by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (vi) neither the Agent nor any Lender has provided and none
will provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any Transaction (including any amendment, waiver
or other modification of any Credit Document) and the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors
to the extent it has deemed appropriate. The Borrower hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any
claims that it may have against the Agent with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty; and


 






    125


     


    

 



 


(c)            no
joint venture is created by the Credit Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the Transactions among the Lenders or among
the Borrower, on the one hand, and any Lender, on the other hand.


 


13.15            WAIVERS
OF JURY TRIAL.     THE BORROWER, THE AGENT, EACH LETTER OF CREDIT ISSUER AND EACH LENDER HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY CREDIT DOCUMENT AND FOR
ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.


 


13.16            Confidentiality.
The Agent and each Lender shall hold all information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary other
than any such information that is available to such Person on a nonconfidential basis before disclosure by the Borrower or any
such Subsidiary (“Confidential Information”), confidential in accordance with its customary procedure for handling
confidential information of this nature and in any event may make disclosure (a) to such Person’s Affiliates and the
directors, officers, employees, attorneys, professional advisors, independent auditors, trustees and agents of such Person or
such Person’s Affiliates, in each case who need to know such information in connection with the administration of the Credit
Documents (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of
such Confidential Information, are instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential and agree to keep such Confidential
Information confidential on the same terms as provided herein), (b) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority,
self-regulatory agency or representative thereof purporting (on a reasonable basis, as determined by such Person) to have jurisdiction
over such Person or pursuant to legal process or applicable Requirements of Law, (c) to any other party hereto, (d) in
connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Credit Document or any action or proceeding relating to any Credit Document
or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the
same as those of this section, to (x) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in,
any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (y) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to
any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations,
this Agreement or payments hereunder or to any credit insurance provider related to the Borrower and its Obligations, (f) with
the consent of the Borrower, and (g) to the extent such Confidential Information (x) becomes publicly available other
than as a result of a breach of this section, or (y) becomes available to any Lender, the Agent or any of their respective
Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (unless such Lender, such
Agent or such Affiliate has actual knowledge that such source owes an obligation of confidence to the Borrower or any Subsidiary
thereof with respect to such Confidential Information); but unless specifically prohibited by applicable Requirements of Law,
each Lender and the Agent shall notify the Borrower (without any liability for a failure to so notify the Borrower) of any request
made to such Person for Confidential Information by any Governmental Authority, self-regulatory agency or representative thereof
or pursuant to legal process or applicable Requirements of Law (other than any such request in connection with an examination
of the financial condition of such Lender by such governmental agency) before disclosure of such Confidential Information; provided,
further, that in no event shall any Lender or the Agent be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by the
Borrower or any Subsidiary; provided, further, that, at any time after the Borrower has filed this Agreement with
the SEC, the Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about the terms of this Agreement
to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agent and the Lenders
in connection with the administration of the Credit Documents and the Commitments.


 


13.17            Release
of Collateral and Guarantee Obligations; Disavowal of Liens.


 


(a)            The
Secured Parties hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Agent by the Debtors on any Collateral shall be automatically
released (i) in full, as set forth in clauses (b) or (c) below, (ii) upon the Disposition of
such Collateral (including as part of or in connection with any other Disposition permitted hereunder) to any Person other than
another Debtor, to the extent such Disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Agent may rely
conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Debtor upon its reasonable request without further inquiry),
(iii) to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Debtor, upon termination or expiration of such lease,
(iv) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other percentage
of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with Section 13.1), (v) to the extent the property
constituting such Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Obligations
Guarantee and (vi) as required by the Agent to effect any Disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies
of the Agent pursuant to the Security Documents. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations
or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being released) of the Debtors in respect
of) all interests retained by the Debtors, including the proceeds of any Disposition, all of which shall continue to constitute
part of the Collateral to the extent required by the applicable Credit Documents, except to the extent otherwise released in accordance
with the provisions of the Credit Documents. Additionally, the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably agree that any Guarantor shall
be automatically released from the Obligations Guarantee in respect of the DIP Facility upon consummation of any transaction permitted
hereunder resulting in such Guarantor no longer being a Subsidiary of the Borrower. Upon any such release, any representation,
warranty or covenant contained in any Credit Document relating to any such Collateral or Guarantor shall no longer be deemed to
be repeated.


 






    126


     


    

 


(b)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, upon the Facility Termination, all security interests and Liens in
all Collateral and all obligations under all the Credit Documents shall be automatically released and discharged as contemplated
by the Intercreditor Agreement, and the Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Secured Party) take such actions
as shall be required, advisable or reasonably requested by the Borrower to evidence or otherwise more fully effect the foregoing,
but such Obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations
guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution,
liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor
or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or
otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.


 


(c)            If
any Lender determines, acting reasonably, that any applicable law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has
asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender to hold or benefit from a Lien over real property pursuant to any law of the United
States or any State thereof, such Lender may notify the Agent and disclaim any benefit of such security interest to the extent
of such illegality; but such determination or disclaimer shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such Lien for the
benefit of any other Lender.


 


13.18            USA
PATRIOT Act. The Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT
Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “PATRIOT Act”), it is required
to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Debtor, which information includes the name and address of each
Debtor and other information that will allow the Agent and such Lender to identify each Debtor in accordance with the PATRIOT
Act.


 


13.19            Payments
Set Aside. To the extent that any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Agent or any Lender,
or the Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof
is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by the Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection
with any proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended
to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had
not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so
recovered from or repaid by the Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made
at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.


 


13.20            Reinstatement.
This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any
part thereof, of any monetary Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Agent or any other Secured
Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower, or upon or as a result of the
appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any substantial part
of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.


 


13.21            Disposition
of Proceeds. If executed and delivered, any Security Document may contain an assignment by the applicable Debtor unto
and in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties of all of such Debtor’s interest in and to its as-extracted
collateral in the form of production and all proceeds attributable thereto which may be produced from or allocated to the Collateral
covered thereby. If executed and delivered, the Security Documents may further provide in general for the application of such
proceeds to the satisfaction of the Obligations described therein and secured thereby. Notwithstanding the assignment contained
in such Security Documents, unless an Event of Default is continuing, (a) the Agent and the Secured Parties agree that they
will neither notify the purchaser or purchasers of such production nor take any other action to cause such proceeds to be remitted
to the Agent or any other Secured Party, and all such proceeds shall be permitted to be paid to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries,
and (b) the Secured Parties hereby authorize the Agent to take such actions as may be necessary to cause such proceeds to
be paid to the Borrower and/or such Subsidiaries.


 






    127


     


    

 


13.22            Collateral
Matters; Hedge Agreements. The benefit of the Security Documents and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to
any Collateral securing the Obligations shall also extend to and be available on a pro rata basis to any Hedge Bank under
any Hedge Agreement giving rise to Lender Hedging Obligations, in each case, after giving effect to all netting arrangements relating
to such Hedge Agreements; but, with respect to any Hedge Agreement that remains secured after the Hedge Bank thereto is no longer
a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, the provisions of Article XII shall also continue to apply to such Hedge Bank
in consideration of its benefits hereunder and each such Hedge Bank shall, if requested by the Agent, promptly execute and deliver
to the Agent all such other documents, agreements and instruments reasonably requested by the Agent to evidence the continued
applicability of the provisions of Article XII. No Person shall have any voting rights under any Credit Document solely
as a result of the existence of Lender Hedging Obligations.


 


13.23            Consent
to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in
any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of
any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject
to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees
to be bound by:


 


(a)            the
application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising
hereunder that may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and


 


(b)            the
effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:


 


(i)            a
reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;


 


(ii)            a
conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution,
its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or
other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under any Credit
Document; or


 


(iii)            the
variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable
Resolution Authority.


 


13.24            Joinder
of Subsidiaries. Upon the execution and delivery by a Subsidiary and the Agent of a Joinder Agreement, and delivery
to the Agent of such other security agreements, documents and opinions with respect to such Subsidiary as may reasonably be requested
by the Agent, such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder, with the same force and effect as if originally named as such
herein, and without the consent of any other party hereto. The rights and obligations of each Credit Party hereunder and under
the other Credit Documents shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any Subsidiary as a party to
this Agreement.


 






    128


     


    

 


13.25            Acknowledgment
Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Credit Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise,
for any Hedge Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”,
and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution
power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution
Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding
that the Credit Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or
of the United States or any other state of the United States):


 


(a)            In
the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a
proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support
(and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing
such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would
be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest,
obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event
a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime,
Default Rights under the Credit Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may
be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised
under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Credit Documents were governed by the laws of the United
States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies
of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a
Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.


 


(b)            As
used in this Section 13.25, the following terms have the following meanings:


 


“BHC Act
Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance
with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.


 


“Covered
Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted
in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted
in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted
in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).


 


“Default
Right” shall have the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§
252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.


 


“QFC”
shall have the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance
with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

Article XIV

OBLIGATIONS GUARANTEE


 


14.1            Guarantee.
Each Guarantor hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees
to the Agent, the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the other Secured Parties, the prompt payment and performance when
due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Obligations and all reasonable
and documented costs and expenses including, without limitation, all court costs and out-of-pocket attorneys’ and paralegals’
fees and expenses paid or incurred by the Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders in endeavoring to collect all or
any part of the Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other guarantor of
all or any part of the Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Obligations, being collectively called the “Guaranteed
Obligations”); provided, that the guarantee of any Guarantor will not apply to any Lender Hedging Obligation
if and to the extent that it would be unlawful for such Guarantor to guarantee such Lender Hedging Obligation under the Commodity
Exchange Act or any rule, regulation or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official interpretation
of any thereof) by virtue of such Guarantor’s failure for any reason (and after giving effect to the guarantees by the other
Guarantors of the Obligations of such Guarantor) to constitute an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the
Commodity Exchange Act at the time the guarantee of such Guarantor becomes effective with respect to such Lender Hedging Obligation.
Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to
or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All terms
of this Obligations Guarantee apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of any
Lender that extended any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.


 


14.2            Guarantee
of Payment. This Obligations Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. Each Guarantor waives any right
to require the Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender or any other Secured Party to sue the Borrower, any other Guarantor,
any other guarantor, or any other Person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated
Party”), or to enforce its rights against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.


 


14.3            No
Discharge or Diminishment of Obligations Guarantee.


 


(a)            Except
as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to
any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the
Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration,
or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence,
structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party or its assets
or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff
or other right which any Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, the Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer, any
Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transaction.


 






    130


     


    

 


(b)            The
obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever
by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision
of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part
thereof.


 


(c)            Further,
the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the
Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy
with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision
of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any indirect
or direct security for the obligations of any Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of
any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by
the Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender or any other Secured Party with respect to any collateral securing any part
of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance
of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent
vary the risk of such Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other
than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).


 


14.4            Defenses
Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising
out of any defense of the Borrower or any other Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations
from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any other Guarantor, other than the indefeasible
payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor irrevocably
waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for
herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Obligated Party or any other
Person. Each Guarantor confirms that it is not a surety under any state law and shall not raise any such law as a defense to its
obligations hereunder. The Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial
sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any
collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations,
make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated
Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Guarantor under this Obligations Guarantee except to the
extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable
law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against any Obligated
Party or any security.


 






    131


     


    

 


14.5            Rights
of Subrogation. No Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim
of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party, or any Collateral, until the Borrower
and the Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations to the Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers, the Lenders and the
other Secured Parties.


 


14.6            Reinstatement;
Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, each Guarantor’s
obligations under this Obligations Guarantee with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment
had not been made and whether or not the Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers, the Lenders or the other Secured Parties are in
possession of this Obligations Guarantee. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the
terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors forthwith on demand
by the Agent.


 


14.7            Information.
Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and
assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope
and extent of the risks that each Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Obligations Guarantee, and agrees that none of the Agent,
any Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to it regarding those
circumstances or risks.


 


14.8            [Reserved].


 


14.9            Maximum
Liability. The provisions of this Obligations Guarantee are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any
state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights
of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under this Obligations Guarantee would otherwise be held or determined
to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Guarantor’s liability under this Obligations
Guarantee, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Obligations Guarantee to the contrary, the amount of such liability
shall, without any further action by the Guarantors or the Lenders, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount
that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant
Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section with respect to the Maximum Liability of Guarantor
is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law,
and no Guarantor nor any other Person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum
Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under
applicable law. Each Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum
Liability of each Guarantor without impairing this Obligations Guarantee or affecting the rights and remedies of the Lenders hereunder;
provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond
its Maximum Liability.


 






    132


     


    

 


14.10            Contribution.
In the event any Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Obligations
Guarantee or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations
under this Obligations Guarantee, each other Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to
such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Applicable Share of such payment or payments made,
or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Section, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable
Share” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such
payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (a) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such
date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying
Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor
from the Borrower after the Interim Facility Effective Date (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (b) the
aggregate Maximum Liability of all Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect
to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not
been determined for any Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Guarantors from the Borrower after the
Interim Facility Effective Date (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect
any Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Guarantor’s Maximum
Liability). Each of the Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Obligations Guarantee
from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed
Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of the Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers, the Lenders and the Guarantors and
may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.


 


14.11            Representations
and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Agent and each Lender that:


 


(a)            the
representations and warranties set forth in Article VIII as they relate to such Guarantor or to the Credit Documents
to which such Guarantor is a party are true and correct in all material respects (except that any representation and warranty
that is qualified as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be true and correct in all respects
after giving effect to such qualification), provided that each reference in each such representation and warranty to the
Borrower’s knowledge shall, for the purposes of this clause, be deemed to be a reference to such Guarantor’s knowledge.


 


(b)            on
the date hereof, the correct legal name of such Guarantor, all names and trade names that such Guarantor has used in the last
five (5) years, such Guarantor’s jurisdiction of organization and each jurisdiction of organization of such Guarantor
over the last five (5) years, organizational number, tax payor identification number, and the location(s) of such Guarantor’s
chief executive office or sole place of business over the last five years are specified on Schedule 14.11.


 


(c)            the
Borrower is a member of an affiliated group of companies that includes each Guarantor, and the Borrower and the other Guarantors
are engaged in related businesses. Each Guarantor agrees that it shall benefit, directly or indirectly, from the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement; and it has determined that this Obligations Guarantee is necessary and convenient to the conduct,
promotion and attainment of the business of such Guarantor and the Borrower.


 






    133


     


    

 


14.12            Subordination
of Indebtedness.


 


(a)            Subordination
of All Guarantor Claims. As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts and obligations
of the Borrower or any other Guarantor to the Borrower or any other Guarantor, whether such debts and obligations now exist or
are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligation of the debtor thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several,
joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or obligations be evidenced by note, contract, open account,
or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons in whose favor such debts or obligations may, at their inception, have
been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by. After and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, no Guarantor shall receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from any other obligor in
respect thereof any amount upon the Guarantor Claims.


 


(b)            Claims
in Bankruptcy. In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency
proceedings involving any Guarantor, the Agent on behalf of the Agent and the Secured Parties shall have the right to prove their
claim in any proceeding, so as to establish their rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court
custodian, dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims. Each Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends
and payments to the Agent for the benefit of the Agent and the Secured Parties for application against the Obligations as provided
under Article XI hereof. Should any Agent or Secured Party receive, for application upon the Guaranteed Obligations,
any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to any Guarantor, and which, as between such Guarantors, shall constitute
a credit upon the Guarantor Claims, then upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations, the expiration of all Letters of Credit
outstanding under the Credit Agreement and the termination of all of the Commitments, the intended recipient shall become subrogated
to the rights of the Agent and the Secured Parties to the extent that such payments to the Agent and the Secured Parties on the
Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Guaranteed Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect
to that proportion of the Guaranteed Obligations which would have been unpaid if the Agent and the Secured Parties had not received
dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.


 


(c)            Payments
Held in Trust. In the event that, notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, any Guarantor should receive any funds,
payments, claims or distributions which is prohibited by such clauses, then it agrees: (i) to hold in trust for the Agent
and the Secured Parties an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, and (ii) that
it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims or distributions except to pay them promptly
to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and each Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to the Agent.


 


(d)            Liens
Subordinate. Each Guarantor agrees that, until the Obligations are paid in full in cash, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding
and the termination of all of the Commitments, any Liens securing payment of the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior
and subordinate to any Liens securing payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor
of such Guarantor, the Agent or any Secured Party presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Without the prior written
consent of the Agent, no Guarantor, during the period in which any of the Obligations are outstanding or the Commitments are in
effect, shall (i) exercise or enforce any creditor’s right it may have against any debtor in respect of the Guarantor
Claims, or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceeding (judicial or
otherwise, including without limitation the commencement of or joinder in any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s
relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any Lien securing payment of the Guarantor Claims held by it.


 






    134


     


    

 


(e)            Notation
of Records. Upon the reasonable request of the Agent, all promissory notes and all accounts receivable ledgers or other evidence
of the Guarantor Claims accepted by or held by any Guarantor shall contain a specific written notice thereon that the indebtedness
evidenced thereby is subordinated under the terms of this Obligations Guarantee.


 


14.13            Other
Terms.


 


(a)            Notices.
All notices and other communications to any Guarantor shall be given in the manner and subject to the terms of Section 13.2;
provided that each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor by
the Agent, the Lenders or any other Secured Party may be addressed to the Borrower and any notice provided to the Borrower hereunder
shall constitute notice to each Guarantor on the date received by the Borrower in accordance with Section 13.2.


 


(b)            Indemnities,
Etc.


 


(i)            [Reserved].


 


(ii)            Each
Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Agent and the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect
to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Obligations Guarantee to the extent the Borrower
would be required to do so pursuant to Section 13.5 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the preceding sentence
shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any
non-Tax claim.


 


(c)            Acknowledgments.
Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that:


 


(i)            it
has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, including the Obligations Guarantee
and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party;


 


(ii)            neither
the Agent nor any Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Guarantor arising out of or in connection with
this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, and the relationship between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Agent
and Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and


 


(iii)            no
joint venture is created hereby or by the other Credit Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated
hereby among the Secured Parties or among the Guarantors and the Secured Parties.


 


(iv)            each
Guarantor specifically agrees that it has a duty to read this Agreement, the Security Documents and the other Credit Documents
and agrees that it is charged with notice and knowledge of the terms of this Agreement, the Security Documents and the other Credit
Documents; that it has in fact read this Agreement, the Security Documents and the other Credit Documents and is fully informed

        of RBL Loans:

         

        Tranche A RBL Exit Facility
        Loans (the “Tranche A RBL Loans”, and the commitments under the RBL Facility to make such Tranche A RBL Loans,

Letters of Credit issued) under the RBL Facility will be available in U.S. dollars.




 






    Term Sheet – RBL Facility
Exhibit B – Page 2


     


    

 


	Availability:	
        The Tranche A RBL Loans shall
        be available on a revolving basis during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the Revolving Maturity Date (as
        defined below); provided that no more than $1.25 billion will be funded under the RBL Facility on the Closing Date to fund
        a portion of the Restructuring Transactions. The full amount of the RBL Facility shall be available for same-day ABR borrowings
        to the extent borrowing requests are received by 11am Eastern time.

         

        At all times, availability under
        the RBL Facility shall be equal to the lesser of the aggregate RBL Tranche A Commitments and the amount by which the then effective
        Borrowing Base exceeds the Credit Facilities Total Outstandings.

         

        The “RBL Total Outstandings”
        means, at any time, the aggregate principal amount of RBL Loans (whether Tranche A RBL Loans or Tranche B RBL Loans) then outstanding
        plus the aggregate stated amount of all issued Letters of Credit and, without duplication, all unreimbursed disbursements
        on any Letter of Credit as of such date (unless cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable
        to the relevant Issuing Lender).

         

        The “Credit Facilities
        Total Outstandings” mean the RBL Total Outstandings plus the outstanding FLLO Term Loans.

	 	 
	Maturity:	
        The RBL Tranche A Commitments
        shall terminate and all Tranche A RBL Loans will mature on the date that is three (3) years after the Closing Date (the “RBL
        Tranche A Termination Date”).

         

        The Tranche B RBL Loans will
        mature on the date that is four (4) years after the Closing Date (the “RBL Tranche B Termination Date”).

         

	Borrowing Base:	The RBL Facility shall be subject to the borrowing base described below (it being understood that the Borrowing Base under the RBL Facility is intended to encompass both the RBL Facility and the FLLO Term Loans and that, at any time that the FLLO Term Loans cease to be secured debt, the Borrowing Base will be automatically reduced to the amount of the RBL Facility portion of the Borrowing Base at such time).  The borrowing base for the RBL Facility (the “Borrowing Base”), at any time, shall be based on the aggregate present  value, discounted at 10% per annum, of (i) the proved oil and gas reserves of the Loan Parties located within the geographic boundaries of the United States included in the most recent Reserve Report (as defined below) delivered to the RBL Agent (such properties, the “Borrowing Base Properties”) and (ii) any hedge positions existing at the time of such redetermination, in each case utilizing the RBL Agent’s then current internal bank price deck and approved by the RBL Lenders as provided below.



 






    Term Sheet – RBL Facility
Exhibit B – Page 3


     


    

 


	 	The initial borrowing base for the RBL Facility will be $2.5 billion from the date of the initial borrowing under the RBL Facility (the “Closing Date”) until, subject to the rights of optional redetermination and the other adjustments provided for herein, the next redetermination date (provided, that the Required RBL Lenders will confirm the amount of this initial Borrowing Base (or provide a new initial Borrowing Base amount) prior to the Closing Date based on the Initial Reserve Report in a manner substantially similar to the redetermination process described below).
	 	 
	 	
        The Borrowing Base shall be
        re-determined semi-annually on or about (i) the date that is six months from the Closing Date (the “First Scheduled
        Redetermination”)and (ii) thereafter, each May 1 and October 1 to occur after the Closing Date, beginning
        on the first such date to occur after the redetermination described in clause (i), based upon (i) a reserve report prepared
        as of the immediately preceding January 1 and July 1, respectively, and other related information, and delivered on or
        before April 1 and September 1, respectively and/or (ii) other engineering data reasonably acceptable to the RBL
        Agent (each such report or other engineering data, a “Reserve Report”) and other related information. Each April 1
        Reserve Report shall be prepared by an Approved Petroleum Engineer (as defined below) as to 80% by volumes of the Borrowing Base
        Properties covered thereby, with the balance prepared by or under the supervision of the Borrower’s chief engineer. Each
        August 1 Reserve Report (and any Reserve Report delivered in connection with any unscheduled redetermination) may be prepared
        internally by petroleum engineers who are employees of the Borrower or its affiliates. The Borrowing Base shall be calculated and
        proposed by the RBL Agent on behalf of the Required RBL Lenders in good faith in accordance with its usual and customary oil and
        gas lending criteria as it exists at the particular time and as specified in the RBL Credit Documentation (as defined below) and
        approved by the Required RBL Lenders or all of the RBL Lenders, as the case may be. The RBL Agent shall notify the Lenders of the
        RBL Agent’s proposed amount of the redetermined Borrowing Base after the RBL Agent has received complete engineering reports
        from the Borrower and has had a reasonable opportunity to determine the proposed Borrowing Base.

         

        “Approved Petroleum
        Engineer” means any of (a) Schlumberger N.V., (b) Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc., (c) Cawley,
        Gillespie & Associates, Inc., (d) Ryder Scott Company, L.P., (e) LaRoche Petroleum Consultants, Ltd.
        and (f) any other independent engineer chosen by the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the RBL Agent.

Exhibit B – Page 4


     


    

 


	 	Unscheduled redeterminations of the Borrowing Base may be made (a) following the First Scheduled Redetermination date at the request of the Required RBL Lenders not more than once between any two scheduled redeterminations and (b) at any time (including prior to the First Scheduled Redetermination date as described above) by the Borrower.  
	 	 
	 	In addition to the foregoing, after the Closing Date, the Borrowing Base shall be subject to automatic reductions between redeterminations in connection with:
	 	 
	 	(i)     sales or other dispositions (including in connection with the designation of unrestricted subsidiaries and investments) of Borrowing Base Properties and early monetization or early termination of any hedge positions existing at the time of the last redetermination date and relied on by the RBL Lenders in determining the Borrowing Base since the later of (A) the last redetermination date and (B) the last adjustment made pursuant to this clause (i), with an aggregate Borrowing Base value and Hedge PV (as defined below) with respect to all such Borrowing Base Properties sold or otherwise disposed of and hedge positions monetized or terminated early exceeding 5.0% of the Borrowing Base then in effect (after giving effect to any hedge agreements entered into (1) contemporaneously with such early monetization or termination or (2) subsequent to the last redetermination of the Borrowing Base), in an amount equal to the Hedge PV with respect to such hedge positions monetized or terminated or the Borrowing Base value as determined by the RBL Agent with respect to such Borrowing Base Properties disposed, and taking into account concurrent acquisitions or other investments for which Reserve Reports have been delivered to the RBL Agent and which have been given value by the RBL Agent and the other RBL Lenders; and
	 	 
	 	(ii)     only with respect to amounts in excess of the Permitted Debt Prepayment (as defined below), the issuance of any junior lien, unsecured senior or senior subordinated indebtedness after the Closing Date (including any additional “first lien last out” indebtedness) (such additional indebtedness “Specified Additional Debt”) under the basket permitting Specified Additional Debt and any permitted refinancing indebtedness in respect thereof; and in the case of this clause (ii), the Borrowing Base shall be immediately reduced by $0.50 for every $1.00 of Specified Additional Debt that remains outstanding, other than any such indebtedness constituting a permitted refinancing of Specified Additional Debt (only to the extent that the aggregate principal amount of such refinancing indebtedness does not result in an increase in the principal amount thereof plus amounts to fund any original issue discount or upfront fees relating thereto plus amounts to fund accrued interest, fees, expenses, premiums, etc. thereon).

Exhibit B – Page 5


     


    

 


	 	
        “Hedge PV”
        means, with respect to any commodity hedge contract, the present value, discounted at 10% per annum, of the future receipts expected
        to be paid to the Borrower or its restricted subsidiaries under such hedge contract netted against the RBL Agent’s then current
        internal bank price deck; provided, that the “Hedge PV” shall never be less than $0.00.

         

        “PV-10” means
        the present value of the Loan Parties’ oil and gas properties (calculated before federal and state income taxes (but not
        other taxes customarily included in such calculation, including sales, ad valorem and severance taxes), discounted at 10% per annum,
        of the future net revenues expected to accrue to the Loan Parties’ collective interests in such reserves during the remaining
        expected economic lives of such reserves, calculated in a manner consistent with past practice and other than in respect of calculating
        the Total PDP PV-10 (which shall be calculated using the Ten Year Strip Price), shall be calculated using the RBL Agent’s
        then current internal bank price deck.

         

        “Total PDP PV-10”
        means, as of any date of determination, the PV-10 of the Loan Parties’ oil and gas properties characterized as Proved Developed
        Producing reserves and any hedge positions existing on such date. Each calculation of such Total PDP PV-10 shall be made (a) using
        the Ten-Year Strip Price adjusted in a manner reasonably acceptable to the RBL Agent for any basis differential, quality and gravity,
        (b) using costs as of the date of estimation without future escalation, and without giving effect to non-property related
        expenses such as general and administrative expenses, debt service, future income tax expense and depreciation, depletion and amortization,
        and (c) to the extent not otherwise specified in the preceding clauses of this sentence, using reasonable economic assumptions
        consistent with such clauses. Total PDP PV-10 shall be calculated on a pro forma basis, giving effect to (i) acquisitions
        and dispositions of oil and gas properties consummated by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties since the date of the Reserve
        Report most recently delivered to the RBL Agent (provided that, in the case of any acquisition of oil and gas properties,
        the RBL Agent shall have received a Reserve Report, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it, evaluating the proved
        developed producing reserves attributable thereto) and (ii) the unwind, monetization or termination of, or the entry into,
        any hedge agreement to which a Loan Party is a party, in each case occurring since the date of the Reserve Report most recently
        delivered to the RBL Agent.

         

        “Ten-Year Strip Price”
        means, as of any date, (a) for the 120-month period commencing with the month in which such date occurs, as quoted on the
        New York Mercantile Exchange (the “NYMEX”) adjusted for applicable differentials (based on average of last twelve (12)
        months actuals) and hedge agreements and published in a nationally recognized publication for such pricing reasonably acceptable
        to the RBL Agent (as such prices may be corrected or revised from time to time by the NYMEX in accordance with its rules and
        regulations), the corresponding monthly quoted futures contract price for such months 0–120 and (b) for periods after
        such 120 month period, the average corresponding monthly quoted futures contract price for months 108-120.




 






    Term Sheet – RBL Facility
Exhibit B – Page 6


     


    

 


	Letters of Credit:	$200 million of the RBL Tranche A Commitments shall be available for the issuance of letters of credit, including documentary letters of credit in U.S. dollars (the “Letters of Credit”), by the RBL Agent and one or more RBL Lenders reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (in such capacity, each, an “Issuing Lender”).  No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date after the earlier of (a) 1 year after the date of issuance or such longer period of time as may be agreed to by the applicable Issuing Lender and (b) 3 business days prior to the RBL Tranche A Termination Date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a 1-year tenor may provide for automatic or “evergreen” renewal thereof for additional 1-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (b) above unless cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender thereof).  So long as the Borrower is the primary obligor and a signatory to a request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, Letters of Credit may be issued for the account of the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries.
	 	 
	 	Any drawing under any Letter of Credit shall be reimbursed by the Borrower (whether with its own funds or with the proceeds of RBL Loans) within 3 business days after notice thereof is received by the Borrower from the relevant Issuing Lender.  To the extent that the Borrower does not so reimburse the Issuing Lender within such time period, the RBL Lenders shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to fund participations in the reimbursement obligations on a pro rata basis based on their respective RBL Tranche A Commitments.
	 	 
	 	Letters of Credit may be issued on the Closing Date in the ordinary course of business and to replace or provide credit support for any existing letters of credit (including by “grandfathering” such existing letters of credit into the RBL Facility).
	 	 
	Use of Proceeds:	The proceeds of the RBL Loans may be used (a) on the Closing Date, (i)  to finance a portion of the Restructuring Transactions, including the refinancing of the DIP Facility and the Prepetition Credit Facility and the payment of related fees and expenses, (ii) to finance working capital and the payment of transaction costs and (iii) to finance working capital needs and other general corporate purposes and (b) after the Closing Date, to finance the working capital needs and other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its subsidiaries (including for capital expenditures, acquisitions, working capital and/or purchase price adjustments, the payment of transaction fees and expenses, other investments, restricted payments and any other purpose not prohibited by the RBL Credit Documentation).

	CERTAIN PAYMENT PROVISIONS	 
	 	 
	Interest Rates and Fees:	As set forth on Annex I hereto.
	 	 
	Optional Prepayments and Commitment Reductions:	
        RBL Loans may be prepaid and
        the RBL Tranche A Commitments may be reduced, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, in minimum amounts to be agreed,
        at the option of the Borrower at any time upon 1 business day’s (or, in the case of a prepayment of RBL Eurodollar Loans
        (as defined on Annex I hereto), 3 business days’) prior notice, subject to reimbursement of the RBL Lenders’
        redeployment costs in the case of a prepayment of RBL Eurodollar Loans prior to the last day of the relevant interest period. Optional
        prepayments of the RBL Loans shall, subject to the paragraph below, be applied to the installments of the RBL Loans as directed
        by the Borrower (or in the absence of direction from the Borrower, in the direct order of maturity).

         

        All prepayments or repayments
        of RBL Loans, whether optional or mandatory, shall first be applied to Tranche A RBL Loans until no Tranche A RBL Loans remain
        outstanding.

	 	 
	Mandatory Prepayments:	At any time when Credit Facilities Total Outstandings exceeds the Borrowing Base then in effect (such difference being a “Borrowing Base Deficiency”), the Borrower shall, within ten (10) business days after written notice from the RBL Agent to the Borrower of such Borrowing Base Deficiency, notify the RBL Agent that it intends to take one or any combination of the following actions:
	 	 
	 	(A)     within thirty (30) days after such notice from the RBL Agent, execute and deliver mortgages reasonably acceptable to the RBL Agent encumbering additional Borrowing Base Properties (accompanied by acceptable engineering reports with respect to such properties) to the extent necessary to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency  (with acceptable title information with respect to 85% of the PV-10 value of such Borrowing Base Properties to follow within sixty (60) days of the delivery of such mortgages); 
	 	 
	 	(B)     within thirty (30) days after such notice from the RBL Agent, prepay the RBL Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency; or
	 	 
	 	
        (C)     prepay
        the RBL Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency in three equal monthly installments, with interest,
        beginning on the 30th day after the Borrower’s receipt of notice of such Borrowing Base Deficiency from the RBL Agent (as
        such Borrowing Base Deficiency may be increased or reduced during such three-month period as a result of a Borrowing Base redetermination
        or other adjustment of the Borrowing Base);

         

        provided, that if the
        Borrowing Base is reduced as the result of (i) an asset sale or disposition of Borrowing Base Properties or the monetization
        or early termination of any hedge position in excess of 5% of the value of the Borrowing Base or (ii) the issuance of Specified
        Additional Debt (as described in the section captioned “Borrowing Base”) and a Borrowing Base Deficiency results from
        such reduction, then the Borrower shall immediately (and in any event within one (1) business day after the receipt of net
        cash proceeds therefrom) eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency with the proceeds of such asset sale, disposition or monetization
        or early termination of any hedge position or the issuance of Specified Additional Debt, as applicable. Additionally, any Borrowing
        Base Deficiency resulting from a voluntary termination or reduction of Commitments shall be required to be eliminated on the date
        of such termination.

         

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, any net
        proceeds from the incurrence of junior debt otherwise permitted under the RBL Credit Documentation shall be used to repay the FLLO
        Term Loans at par (the “Permitted Debt Prepayment”).

         

        In addition, the RBL Credit Documentation
        will contain a customary anti-cash hoarding prepayment provision that is consistent with the Prepetition Credit Facility, except
        that the five (5) business day cure period shall be replaced with three (3) business days and the limits on cash on hand
        shall be reduced from $100 million to $75 million.

	 	 
	 	
        The RBL Loans shall
be prepaid and the Letters of Credit shall be cash collateralized or otherwise “backstopped” or replaced to the extent
all such extensions of credit under the RBL Facility exceed the RBL Tranche A Commitments.

Exhibit B – Page 8


     


    

 


	COLLATERAL	Subject to the provisions of the immediately following paragraphs, the Borrower Obligations and the obligations of each other Loan Party under its Guaranty shall be secured by a perfected first-priority security interest (subject to permitted liens and other exceptions to be set forth in the RBL Credit Documentation) in substantially all of the Loan Parties’ tangible and intangible assets (including, without limitation, (i) a pledge of the capital stock of each Loan Party’s direct subsidiaries (other than Unrestricted Subsidiaries and otherwise subject to customary exceptions), (ii) all as-extracted collateral arising from the Borrowing Base Properties, accounts receivable with respect to sales of hydrocarbons from the Borrowing Base Properties, inventory and equipment related to the Borrowing Base Properties, cash and cash equivalents, general intangibles, investment property, all deposit and securities accounts and (iii) all of the Borrowing Base Properties (it being understood that the Loan Parties shall only be required at any time to maintain mortgages on at least 90% of the PV-10 value of the Borrowing Base Properties to which proved reserves are attributed) and the proceeds of the foregoing) (the “Collateral”).
	 	 
	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be customary exclusions, consistent with the Prepetition Credit Agreement, from the Collateral, including, but not limited to (a) any property or asset the grant or perfection of a security interest in which would result in adverse tax consequences as reasonably determined by the Borrower and the RBL Agent, (b) any property or asset the grant or perfection of a security interest in which would require governmental consent, approval, license or authorization and (c) any building or manufactured (mobile home) (as defined in applicable flood insurance regulations).
	 	 
	 	The priority of security interests and relative rights of the lenders under the RBL Facility and the lenders under the FLLO Term Loan Facility shall be subject to collateral agency arrangements set forth in a collateral agency agreement (the “Collateral Agency Agreement”) substantially similar to the collateral agency agreement executed in connection with the Prepetition Credit Facility and which shall provide, among other provisions, that the obligations under the FLLO Term Loan Facility shall be junior in right of repayment to the RBL Facility at all times.
	 	 
	 	The RBL Credit Documentation will authorize the RBL Agent or other collateral trustee, as applicable, to enter into customary intercreditor arrangements in respect additional debt that is permitted to be incurred and secured under the RBL Credit Documentation on a pari passu or junior basis with the RBL Facility.  The material terms of such collateral agency arrangements shall be reasonably acceptable to the RBL Agent and the Borrower.
	 	 
	TITLE	In connection with each scheduled redetermination of the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall deliver such information (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the RBL Agent) on Borrowing Base Properties as is required to demonstrate satisfactory title on 85% of the PV-10 value of the Borrowing Base Properties included in the most recent Reserve Report.

                                         provided, that the Secured Debt Coverage Ratio shall be measured semi-annually
                                         contemporaneously with the delivery of the Reserve Report (beginning with the first Reserve
                                         Report delivered after the Closing Date).

        “Specified
        Quarter” shall mean the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020 based on actual numbers to the extent the testing date
        is in 2021 and, to the extent the testing date is in 2020 based on actual numbers for such portion of the fiscal quarter
        prior to the Closing Date, and based on reasonable pro forma projections for such portion of the fiscal quarter after
        the Closing Date.

         

        “Consolidated
EBITDAX” shall be calculated on a building annualized basis so that (i) for a testing date in 2020 or a testing
date in the first fiscal quarter of 2021 (up to but not including the last day of the first fiscal quarter of 2021), Consolidated
EBITDAX for such quarter shall be calculated by multiplying Consolidated EBITDAX for the Specified Quarter by four, (ii) for
a testing date on the last day of the first fiscal quarter of 2021 or the second fiscal quarter of 2021 (up to but not including
the last of the second fiscal quarter of 2021), Consolidated EBITDAX for such quarter shall be calculated by multiplying Consolidated
EBITDAX for the first fiscal quarter of 2021 by four, (iii) for a testing date on the last day of the second fiscal quarter
or in the third fiscal quarter of 2021 (up to but not including the last day of the third fiscal quarter), Consolidated EBITDAX
for the such quarter shall be calculated by multiplying Consolidated EBITDAX for the first two fiscal quarters in 2021 by two
and (iv) for a testing date on the last day of the third fiscal quarter of 2021 or the fourth fiscal quarter of 2021 (up
to but not including the last day of the fourth fiscal quarter), the first three fiscal quarters of 2021 multiplied by four divided
by three or (b) for a testing date on any date thereafter, Consolidated EBITDAX for the immediately preceding four fiscal
quarter period.
