Lender’s Revolver B Commitment (which in the case of any Lender referred to in the preceding clause (x), shall include the amount of such Lender’s Revolving B Commitment referred to in the preceding clause (x)) or (ii) the Aggregate
Credit Exposure exceeding the Commitment (which in the case of any Lender referred to in the preceding clause (x), shall include the amount of such Lender’s Revolving B Commitment referred to in the preceding clause (x)). Within the
foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow the Loans. On the Effective Date, Revolver A Loans shall be made in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $31,406,029.50
and Revolver B Loans shall be made (including such Revolver B Loans deemed made pursuant to this Section) in an aggregate principal amount equal to $125,000,000. 

Section 2.02. Termination and Reduction of the Commitments.

reduced to zero, then the Commitments shall terminate on the effective date of such termination or reduction. 
 (b) The Borrower may at any
time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitment; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 and shall be applied ratably
to each Lender’s Commitment, (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitment if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11 and Section 2.12, the Aggregate Credit
Exposure would exceed the Commitment and (iii) any such reduction of the Commitments shall be made, first, to the Revolver A Commitments and, second, to the Revolver B Commitments. 

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitment under paragraph (b) of this
Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the


  
 38 








 
Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitment delivered by
the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if
such condition is not satisfied. Any termination of the Commitment shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitment shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment. 

Section 2.03. [Reserved]. 

Section 2.04. Loans and Borrowings. 

(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the
Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. 
 (b) Subject to
Section 2.15, each Revolver A Loan Borrowing and Revolver B Loan Borrowing and shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar
Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. 
 (c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount
that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000. At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000;
provided that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Commitment or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.07(e).
Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of eight (8) Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding. 

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue,
any Eurodollar Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date. 
 Section 2.05.
Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., three (3) Business Days before

on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, telecopy or electronic mail to the
Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with
Section 2.04: 
 (i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing; 

(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; 

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;

 (v) the location and number of the

 If no election
as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest
Period of one (1) month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to
be made as part of the requested Borrowing. 
 Section 2.06. Reserved. 

Section 2.07. Letters of Credit. 

(a) General. On the Effective Date, the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued under the Revolver A Facility
pursuant to, and shall constitute Letters of Credit for all purposes under, this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may on and after the Effective Date request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own
or the account of any Restricted Subsidiary in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period and, in the case of any Letters of Credit issued after the
Effective Date, shall be subject to (x) such credit requirements with respect to each Lender (including any such Lender party to this Agreement on the Effective Date) as may be required by the Issuing Bank pursuant to its internal procedures
(it being understood and agreed that, as of the Effective Date, the Revolver A Lenders (other than JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and its Affiliates) satisfy the credit requirements of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as Issuing Bank, for
participations in an amount not to exceed $40,000,000 with respect to Letters of Credit issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.) or (y) the Borrower providing cash collateral in the manner provided in Section 2.07(j). In the event of any
inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank
relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Letters of Credit shall only be issued under the Revolver A Facility. 

  
 40 








 (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the
issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the
Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to
be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section),
the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall
submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed, when combined with indebtedness incurred
pursuant to Section 7.01(p), $50,000,000, (ii) the Aggregate Revolver A Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Revolver A Commitments of all Lenders and (iii) the Aggregate Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Commitments. 

(c) Expiration Date. Except to the extent cash collateralized or backstopped on the Maturity Date pursuant to arrangements reasonably
acceptable to the Issuing Bank, each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date fifteen (15) months after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any
renewal or extension thereof, the earlier of (x) one (1) year after such renewal or extension and (y) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date (as defined in clause (i) of the definition of
“Maturity Date”)) and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date (as defined in clause (i) of the definition of “Maturity Date”), except to the extent cash collateralized or backstopped
on the Maturity Date pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank. 
 (d) Participations. By the issuance of a
Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Revolver A Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolver A Lender, and each
Revolver A Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolver A Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In
consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolver A Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Revolver A Lender’s Applicable Percentage of
each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolver
A Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph 

  
 41 








 
in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or
the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse
such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to
10:00 a.m. on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice;
provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.05 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolver A Loan Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the
extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolver A Loan Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each
Revolver A Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolver A Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolver A Lender shall
pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.08 with respect to Loans made by such Revolver A Lender (and Section 2.08 shall apply,
mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolver A Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolver A Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the
Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolver A Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to
reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Revolver A Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolver A Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the
funding of ABR Revolver A Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section
shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any
Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither
the Administrative Agent, the Revolver A Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by 

  
 42 








 
reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in
the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing
thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the
Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing
Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the
generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make
payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the
terms of such Letter of Credit. 
 (g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof,
examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether
the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolver A Lenders
with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 
 (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless
the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that
the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolver A Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then
Section 2.14(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolver A Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this
Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolver A Lender to the extent of such payment. 
 (i) Replacement
of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolver A
Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing 

  
 43 








 
Bank pursuant to Section 2.13(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank
under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and
all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under
this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 

(j) Cash Collateralization. 

(i) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, any Issuing Bank as to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank or Lenders with LC Exposure representing at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2⁄3%) of the total LC Exposure) demanding the
deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in the Cash Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to 105% of the total LC Exposure as of such date; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash
collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in
clauses (l) through (q) of Article IX. 
 (ii) All cash collateral provided by Borrower or any other Credit Party
pursuant to the request of the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.21(c) shall be deposited in the Cash Collateral Account. 

(iii) Deposits in the Cash Collateral Account made pursuant to Section 2.07(a), the foregoing paragraph (i) of this
Section 2.07(j) or Section 2.21(c) shall be held by the Issuing Bank as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations under this Agreement and Borrower hereby grants a security interest in such cash and each deposit account
into which such cash is deposited to secure the Obligations under this Agreement. The Issuing Bank shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the Cash Collateral Account. Other than interest at the
rate per annum in effect for accounts of the same type maintained with the Issuing Bank at such time and any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be of the type described in clause (b) of the definition of
Permitted Investments and shall be made by the Issuing Bank in consultation with the Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case, such investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the
Issuing Bank) and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in the Cash Collateral Account shall be applied by the
Issuing Bank to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements (x) in the case of any cash collateral provided pursuant to Section 2.07(a), immediately upon any draw on the applicable Letter of Credit and to the extent not so applied,
shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the 

  
 44 








 
Borrower for the applicable LC Exposure or (y) otherwise, for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement
obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the applicable Issuing Banks and the Lenders with LC Exposure representing sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2⁄3%) or more of the total LC Exposure), be
applied by the Administrative Agent to satisfy other Obligations under this Agreement. 
 (iv) If the Borrower provides cash
collateral pursuant to Section 2.07(a) or is required to provide cash collateral pursuant to either paragraph (i) of this Section 2.07(j) or Section 2.21(c), the amount of such cash collateral (to the extent not applied as
aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after (x) in the case of Section 2.07(a), the applicable Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit shall have been returned undrawn and no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, (y) in the case of cash collateral provided pursuant to paragraph (i) above, all Events of Default have been cured or waived and (z) in the case of cash collateral provided pursuant to
Section 2.21(c), the date on which such cash collateral is no longer required pursuant to Section 2.21(c). 
 Section 2.08.
Funding of Borrowings. 
 (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire
transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that, Revolver B Loans shall be made as provided in
Section 2.01(a). The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request;
provided that ABR Revolver A Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.07(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank. 

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will
not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may,
in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the
Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or
(ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. 

  
 45 








 Section 2.09. Interest Elections. 

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing,
shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request; provided that all Borrowings on the Effective Date shall be ABR Borrowings. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to
continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which
case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. 

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time
that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.05 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request
shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, telecopy or electronic mail to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. 

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.03: 

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to
different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and 

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to
such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 
 If any such Interest
Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration. 

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of
such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 

  
 46 








 (e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a
Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Majority Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no
outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

Section 2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolver A Lender all Obligations
outstanding under each Revolver A Loan on the Maturity Date other than contingent obligations under the Loan Documents for which no claim has been made and liquidated and that by the express terms of the Loan Documents survive termination thereof
and/or payment in full of the Obligations. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolver B Lender all Obligations outstanding under each Revolver B Loan on the Maturity Date other
than contingent obligations under the Loan Documents for which no claim has been made and liquidated and that by the express terms of the Loan Documents survive termination thereof and/or payment in full of the Obligations. 

(b) Borrower and each surety, endorser, guarantor and other party ever liable for payment of any sums of money payable under this Agreement,
jointly and severally waive presentment and demand for payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, protest, notice of protest and nonpayment, as to the payments due under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and agree that their
liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not be affected by any renewal or extension in the time of payment hereof, or in any indulgences, or by any release or change in any security for the payment of the Obligations, and
hereby consent to any and all such renewals, extensions, indulgences, releases or changes. 
 (c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance
with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time
hereunder. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder,
the Class and Type thereof 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 Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (e) The entries
made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender
or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

  
 47 








 (f) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such
event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.
Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 11.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee
named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 
 (g) Subject to the
satisfaction of the following conditions and at the Borrower’s option (the “Maturity Extension Option”), the Maturity Date shall be extended to the date that is 18 months after the Effective Date: 

(i) The Borrower has provided written notice to the Administrative Agent not more than 90 days prior to the date that is 12
months after the Effective Date and not less than 45 days prior to the date that is 12 months after the Effective Date; 

(ii) None of the events described in clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the definition of “Maturity Date” has

of the date of such request, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct as of such earlier date and (B) at the time of and immediately after
giving effect to such Maturity Extension Option, no Default, Event of Default, or Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred; 

(iv) The Credit Parties shall have either (x) filed with the Bankruptcy Court a Plan of Reorganization in the Bankruptcy
Cases no later than July 1, 2018, which Plan of Reorganization shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as of the Effective Date with respect to the treatment of the DIP Facilities, or
(y) satisfied the Sale Milestone (without giving effect to any waiver thereof by less than all of the Lenders that would permit satisfaction of this clause (iv) to occur after the date that is 12 months after the Effective Date); and 

(v) No Borrowing Base Deficiency shall exist at the time of, or after giving effect to, the Maturity Extension Option.

 Section 2.11. Optional Prepayment of Loans. 

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole and or in part, subject to prior
notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that (i) any prepayment made at any time a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists shall be applied ratably to the prepayment of Borrowings to the extent required to
eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency, (ii) any prepayment of a Revolver B Loan Borrowings shall be in minimum principal amounts of $5,000,000.00 and increments of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof and (iii) any prepayment shall be made,
first, to the Revolver A Loans and, second, to the Revolver B Loans. 
 (b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent
by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic mail) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in
the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m. one (1) Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or
portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination or reduction of the Commitment as contemplated by Section 2.02, then such notice of prepayment may be
revoked if such notice of termination or reduction is revoked in accordance with Section 2.02. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.
Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.03. Subject to Section 2.11(a) above, each prepayment of a Borrowing
shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.14. 

Section 2.12. Mandatory Prepayment of Loans. 

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.12(b) and 2.12(c), in the event a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, the Borrower shall
prepay, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 2.17, but without premium or penalty, the principal amount of such Borrowing Base Deficiency in not more than three (3) equal monthly consecutive
installments plus accrued interest thereon with the first such monthly payment being due upon the thirtieth (30th) day after the Borrower’s receipt of notice of such Borrowing Base
Deficiency. Amounts applied to pay the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12(a) shall be applied ratably to pay the then outstanding Loans (both Revolver A Loans (and cash collateralization of the outstanding Letters of Credit to the extent the
Revolver A Loans have been repaid in full) and Revolver B Loans). With respect to the portion of such payments applied to pay the Revolver A Loans, such payments shall be applied to the Borrowings in the order specified in Section 2.12(e) and
with respect to the portion of such payments applied to pay the Revolver B Loans, such payments shall be applied to the Revolver B Loan Borrowings in the order specified in Section 2.12(f). 

(b) If the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary Disposes of any Borrowing Base Properties at any time (whether pursuant to a Disposition of
Equity Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary permitted pursuant to Section 7.03 or otherwise) or a Borrowing Base Deficiency occurs as a result of any other event described in Section 3.06, the Borrower shall prepay on a pro rata basis
(i) Revolver A Loans (and cash collateralization of the outstanding Letters of Credit to the extent the Revolver A Loans have been repaid in full) and (ii) Revolver B Loans, to 

  
 49 








 
the extent necessary to eliminate any Borrowing Base Deficiency that may exist or that may have occurred as a result of such Disposition or other event described in Section 3.06 on or within
one (1) Business Day of the date it or any Restricted Subsidiary receives the Net Cash Proceeds from such Disposition or any other event described in Section 3.06. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time, the sum of (x) the fair
market value (as determined by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) of the assets Disposed of and (y) Swap Agreements terminated, liquidated or otherwise monetized since the Effective Date, individually or in the aggregate
when combined with all such other terminated, liquidated or monetized Swap Agreements and Disposed assets since the Effective Date, exceeds $10,000,000, and as a result of such dispositions and liquidations, a Borrowing Base Deficiency occurs, the
Borrower shall immediately prepay on a pro rata basis (A) Revolver A Loans (and cash collateralization of the outstanding Letters of Credit to the extent the Revolver A Loans have been repaid in full) and (B) Revolver B Loans in an amount
equal to such deficiency. 
 (c) If, after giving effect to any termination or reduction of the Commitment pursuant to Section 2.02(b),
the Aggregate Credit Exposure exceeds the Borrowing Base, then the Borrower shall immediately (and in any event on the Business Day of such termination or reduction) (i) prepay the Borrowings on the date of such termination or reduction in an
aggregate principal amount equal to such excess, and (ii) if any excess remains after prepaying all of the Borrowings as a result of an LC Exposure, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders an amount equal to such excess to be
held as cash collateral as provided in Section 2.07(j). 
 (d) [Reserved]. 

(e) Amounts applied to the prepayment of Revolver A Loan Borrowings pursuant to Section 2.12(b) and 2.12(c) shall be first applied ratably
to ABR Revolver A Loan Borrowings then outstanding and, upon payment in full of all outstanding ABR Revolver A Loan Borrowings, second, to Eurodollar Revolver A Loan Borrowings then outstanding, and if more than one Eurodollar Revolver A Loan
Borrowing is then outstanding, to each such Eurodollar Revolver A Loan Borrowing beginning with the Eurodollar Borrowing with the least number of days remaining in the Interest Period applicable thereto and ending with the Eurodollar Revolver A Loan
Borrowing with the most number of days remaining in the Interest Period applicable thereto. Any prepayments pursuant to this Section shall be without penalty or premium but otherwise accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by
Section 2.14 and any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 2.17. Amounts applied to the payment of Revolver B Loan Borrowings pursuant to this Section may be reborrowed subject to and in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. 
 (f) Amounts applied to the prepayment of Revolver B Loan Borrowings pursuant to Section 2.12(b) and 2.12(c) shall be first
applied ratably to ABR Revolver B Loan Borrowings then outstanding and, upon payment in full of all outstanding ABR Revolver B Loan Borrowings, second, to Eurodollar Revolver AB Loan Borrowings then outstanding, and if more than one Eurodollar
Revolver B Loan Borrowing is then outstanding, to each such Eurodollar Revolver B Loan Borrowing beginning with the Eurodollar Revolver B Loan Borrowing with the least number of days remaining in the Interest Period applicable thereto and ending
with the Eurodollar Revolver B Loan Borrowing with the most number of days remaining in the Interest 

  
 50 








 
Period applicable thereto. Any prepayments pursuant to this Section shall be without penalty or premium but otherwise accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.14
and any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 2.17. Amounts applied to the payment of Revolver B Loan Borrowings pursuant to this Section may not be reborrowed. 

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.12 or 2.19, with respect to the amount of any mandatory prepayment described in
Section 2.19 that is allocated to Revolver B Loans (such amount, the “Revolver B Loan Prepayment Amount”), the Borrower will, in lieu of applying such amount to the prepaying of Revolver B Loans as provided in paragraphs
(b) or (c) above, on the date specified in Section 2.12 for such prepayment, give the Administrative Agent telephone notice (promptly confirmed in writing) requesting that the Administrative Agent prepare and provide to each Revolver B
Lender a notice (each, a “Prepayment Option Notice”) as described below. As promptly as practicable after receiving such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent will send to each Revolver B Lender a Prepayment Option
Notice, which shall be in the form of Exhibit E, and shall include an offer by the Borrower to prepay on the date (each a “Mandatory Prepayment Date”) that is also 10 Business Days after the date of the Prepayment Option Notice, the
relevant Revolver B Loans of such Lender by an amount equal to the portion of the Revolver B Prepayment Amount indicated in such Lender’s Prepayment Option Notice as being applicable to such Lender’s Revolver B Loans. On the Mandatory
Prepayment Date (i) the Borrower shall pay to the relevant Revolver B Lenders the aggregate amount necessary to prepay that portion of the outstanding relevant Revolver B Loans in respect of which such Lenders have accepted prepayment as
described above, and (ii) the Borrower shall be entitled to retain the Revolver B Loan Prepayment Amount not accepted by the relevant Lenders. 

Section 2.13. Fees. 

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, an unused commitment fee (the “Unused
Commitment Fee”) equivalent to the Applicable Rate times the average daily amount of the Aggregate Unused Commitments. Such Unused Commitment Fee shall be calculated on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days. The Unused Commitment Fee
shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and on the Maturity Date for any period then ending for which the Unused
Commitment Fee shall not have been theretofore paid. In the event the Commitments terminate on any date other than the last day of March, June, September or December of any year, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
account of each Lender, on the date of such termination, the total Unused Commitment Fee due for the period from the last day of the immediately preceding March, June, September or December, as the case may be, to the date such termination occurs.

 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolver A Lender a participation fee with
respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Loans on the average daily amount of such Revolver A Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding
any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such 

  
 51 








 
Revolver A Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Revolver A Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee equal to the greater
of (x) $500 and (y) the rate equal to 0.50% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but
excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolver A Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of
any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such
last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolver A Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the
Revolver A Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on
the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 

(c) [Reserved]. 
 (d) [Reserved].

 (e) The Borrower agrees to pay the Administrative Agent for the account of (i) Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited and certain of its
Affiliates, and (ii) Energy Strategic Advisory Services, LLC and certain of its Affiliates an arrangement fee in an aggregate amount equal to one percent (1%) of the Initial Borrowing Base, such fee to be earned and due and payable on the
Effective Date. 
 (f) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent
(or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of Unused Commitment Fees and participation fees, to the Revolver A Lenders. Subject to Section 11.13, fees paid shall not be refundable under any
circumstances. 
 Section 2.14. Interest. 

(a) The Revolver A Loans comprising each ABR Revolver A Loan Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable
Rate. The Revolver B Loans comprising each ABR Revolver B Loan Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus 3.00%. 

(b) The Revolver A Loans comprising each Eurodollar Revolver A Loan Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest
Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. The Revolver B Loans comprising each Eurodollar Revolver B Loan Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus 4.00%.


  
 52 








 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) any Event of Default of the type described in
clauses (a), (b), or (l) through (q) of Article IX, or (ii) any other Event of Default occurs and the Administrative Agent has delivered written notice of such Event of Default to the Borrower, then all outstanding principal, interest,
fees, and other Obligations shall bear interest at two percent (2.00%) plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section. After any event occurs that results in a Borrowing Base Deficiency, the amount of such
Borrowing Base Deficiency shall bear interest at two percent (2.00%) plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section. 

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the
Commitments and the Maturity Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment
of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period at a time when no Borrowing Base Deficiency exists), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in
the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate
Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the
first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

Section 2.15. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing: 

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do
not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or 
 (b) the Administrative
Agent is advised by the Majority Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its
Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and
the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any
Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing
shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 

  
 53 








 Section 2.16. Increased Costs. 

(a) If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) 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 (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; 

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, costs or expense affecting
this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or 
 (iii) subject
any Recipient to any Taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes
described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and (C) Connection Income Taxes); 
 and the result of any of the
foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Eurodollar Loan) or to increase the cost to
such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder
(whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other
Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines
that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing
Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender
or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such
Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A
certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth (i) the amount or amounts reasonably necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of
this Section, (ii) the factual basis for such compensation, and (iii) the manner in which such amount or amounts were calculated, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such
Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 

  
 54 








 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to
this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive,
then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

Section 2.17. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on
the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow,
convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), (d) the
assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the
loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest
which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current
Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such
period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth
any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower within one hundred eighty (180) days after such Lender incurs such loss, cost or expense and shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 

Section 2.18. Taxes. 

(a) Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up. Each payment by or on account of any obligation of any
Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, unless required by any applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined by an applicable Withholding Agent in its sole discretion exercised in
good faith) requires the deduction or withholding of any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent may so deduct or withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of 

  
 55 








 
deducted or withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by the applicable Credit Party
shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such deduction or withholding (including such deduction or withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives the amount it would have received
had no such deduction or withholding been made. 
 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Credit Parties shall timely pay any
Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse the Administrative Agent for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority,
such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Credit Parties shall jointly and
severally indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts paid or payable under this Section 2.18(d)) that are paid or payable by such Recipient or required to be
withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient 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.
The indemnity under this Section 2.18(d) shall be paid within 10 days after the Recipient delivers to the Borrower a certificate stating the amount of such payment or liability. Such certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such
Recipient shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender
shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for (i) any Indemnified Taxes (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation
of the Credit Parties to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of
Section 11.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and
any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.18(e) shall be paid within 10
days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of such payment or liability. Such certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 56 








 (f) Status of Lenders. 

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any
payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver
such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any 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 such documentation set forth in Section 2.18(f)(ii)(A),
(ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s 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. If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall update such form or certificate or promptly
notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 
 (ii) Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, 
 (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly completed executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 
 (B)
any Non-U.S. Lender shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
or, if available, an original signed form) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly completed
and executed copies (or, if available, an original signed form) of whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (1) in the
case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document,
IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E 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 this Agreement, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form
W-8BEN-E 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; 

  
 57 








 (2) in the case of a
Non-U.S. Lender for whom payments under this Agreement constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States of America,
IRS Form W-8ECI; 
 (3) 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 both (x) IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E and (y) a tax certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code(a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”); or 
 (4) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 or D-2, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the
Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one 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 substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner. 

(C) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to 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 Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. federal withholding
Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required by law to be made. 

(D) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by
FATCA if such Lender 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 Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable 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 Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and 

  
 58 








 the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such
Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.18(f)(ii)(D), “FATCA” shall
include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 (g) Status of Administrative Agent. On or prior to the date
on which the Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower two duly completed original copies of, if it is not a United States person (as defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), IRS Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN-E with respect to payments to be received by it as a beneficial
owner and IRS Form W-8IMY (together with required accompanying documentation) with respect to payments to be received by it on behalf of the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent is a United States Person (as
defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower two duly completed original copies of IRS Form W-9. The Administrative Agent shall deliver such
documentation on or before any date on which such documentation expires or becomes obsolete or invalid, after the occurrence of any change in the Administrative Agent’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent documentation
previously delivered by it to the Borrower, and from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower, and shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing if it is no longer legally eligible to provide any documentation previously
provided. 
 (h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has
received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.18 (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.18), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but
only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including
any Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such
indemnified party the amount paid to such indemnified party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay
such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.18(h), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.18(h)
if such payment would place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts
giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.18(h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the
indemnifying party or any other Person. 
 (i) Issuing Bank. For purposes of Section 2.18(e) and (f), the term “Lender”
includes any Issuing Bank. 

  
 59 








 (j) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.18 shall survive the
resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 

Section 2.19. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. 

(a) Each Borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction
of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Applicable Percentages of the relevant Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall
be made pro rata according to the respective Applicable Percentages of the relevant Lenders. The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of
amounts payable under Section 2.16, Section 2.17 or Section 2.18, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any
amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the
Administrative Agent at its offices at Hamblin Watsa Investment Counsel Ltd., 95 Wellington Street West, Suite 802, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2N7, Canada, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except
that payments pursuant to Section 2.16, Section 2.17, Section 2.18 and Section 11.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the
account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and,
in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars. 

(b) Any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent (i) not constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal,
interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrower), or (B) a mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.12) or (ii) after an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements including amounts then due to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank from the Borrower or any other Credit
Party (other than in connection with Cash Management Obligations or Lender Hedging Obligations), second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrower or any other Credit Party (other than in connection
with Cash Management Obligations or Lender Hedging Obligations), third, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements ratably, fourth, to pay the portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid
principal of the Loans, unreimbursed LC Disbursements and payment obligations then owing with respect to Cash Management Obligations, Lender Hedging Obligations and to pay an amount to the Issuing Bank equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the
aggregate LC Exposure to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations (to the extent not otherwise cash collateralized by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement), in each case, ratably among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders,


  
 60 








 
the Issuing Bank, the Lender Counterparties and the holders of any Cash Management Obligations, and fifth, to the payment of any other Obligations due to the Administrative Agent, any
Lender or any other Secured Party by any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts received from any Credit Party that is not an Eligible Contract Participant shall not be applied to any
Excluded Swap Obligations owing to a Lender Counterparty (it being understood, that in the event that any amount is applied to Obligations other than Excluded Swap Obligations as a result of this clause, the Administrative Agent shall make such
adjustments as it determines are appropriate to distributions pursuant to the foregoing clause fourth above from amounts received from Eligible Contract Participants to ensure, as nearly as possible, that the proportional aggregate recoveries
with respect to Obligations described in the foregoing clause fourth above by Lender Counterparties that are the holders of any Excluded Swap Obligations are the same as the proportional aggregate recoveries with respect to other Obligations
pursuant to the foregoing clause fourth above). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower, or unless an Event of Default is in existence, neither the Administrative Agent nor any
Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any Eurodollar Loan of a Class, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable thereto or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding ABR
Loans of the same Class and, in any such event, the Borrower shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.16. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and
reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Obligations. 
 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any
right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise (including any right of set-off exercised with respect to a Swap Agreement), obtain payment in respect of any principal of
or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than
the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so
that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that
(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and
(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall
apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

  
 61 








 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on
such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders
or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount
is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation. 
 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.07(d),
Section 2.07(e), Section 2.08(b), Section 2.19(d) or Section 11.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or
(ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under such Sections, in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the
Administrative Agent in its discretion. 
 Section 2.20. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders; Illegality. 

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or
any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16 or Section 2.18, as the
case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any
Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or if the
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent (and if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, participations in LC
Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and 

  
 62 








 
fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.16 or payments required to
be made pursuant to Section 2.18, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender
or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 (c) If (i) in
connection with (x) any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires approval of all of the Lenders under Section 11.02,
(y) any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or consent with respect to Section 7.11 or (z) any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document that requires approval of all of the Lenders as of the Effective Date, but in any such case the consent of one or more Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has not been obtained
or (ii) a Lender is a Defaulting Lender; then, in each case, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, elect to replace such Non-Consenting
Lender or Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, as a Lender party to this Agreement in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by Section 11.04; provided that (x) the Borrower shall have
received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (y) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and
fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (z) if such Lender is also an Issuing Bank, it shall have been replaced in such capacity as Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.07(i). A Lender shall not be required to make any
such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a consent by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply or, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, such
Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender. 
 (d) If any change after the Effective Date in federal, state, or foreign laws or regulations or
the adoption or making after such date of any interpretations, directives or requests applying to a class of banks including any Lender under any federal, state, or foreign laws or regulations (whether or not having the force of law) by any court or
governmental or monetary authority charged with its interpretation or administration makes it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make, maintain or fund any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Lender shall notify Borrower and Administrative Agent,
whereupon the obligation of such Lender to make or continue, or to convert any Borrowings to, Eurodollar Borrowings, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Borrower and Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such
suspension no longer exist. Before giving any such notice, such Lender shall designate a different applicable lending office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise
disadvantageous to such Lender. If any Lender determines that it may not lawfully continue to maintain any Eurodollar Borrowings to the end of the applicable Interest Periods, all of the affected Borrowings shall be automatically converted to ABR
Borrowings as of the date of such Lender’s notice, and upon such conversion Borrower shall compensate such Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. 

  
 63 








 Section 2.21. 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) Fees shall cease to accrue on the Unused Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(a). 

(b) Such Defaulting Lender shall not have the right to vote on any issue on which voting is required (other than to the extent expressly
provided in Section 11.02(b)) and the Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or the Majority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder. 

(c) If any LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 

(i) all or any part of such LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the
non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Credit
Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 are satisfied at
that time; 
 (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the
Borrower shall, within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after
giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.07(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding; 

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause
(ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is
cash collateralized; 
 (iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is
reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13(a) and Section 2.13(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting
Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and 
 (v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is
neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.13(b) with
respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized. 

  
 64 








 (d) So long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to
issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by
the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.21(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent
with Section 2.21(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). 
 (e) If a Defaulting Lender (or a Lender who would
be a Defaulting Lender but for the expiration of the relevant grace period) as a result of the exercise of a set-off shall have received a payment in respect of its Credit Exposure which results in its Credit
Exposure being less than its Applicable Percentage of the Aggregate Credit Exposure, then no payments will be made to such Defaulting Lender until such time as such Defaulting Lender shall have complied with this Section 2.21 and all amounts
due and owing to the Lenders has been equalized in accordance with each Lender’s respective pro rata share of the Obligations. Further, if at any time prior to the acceleration or maturity of the Loans, the Administrative Agent shall receive
any payment in respect of principal of a Loan or a reimbursement of an LC Disbursement while one or more Defaulting Lenders shall be party to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall apply such payment first to the Borrowing(s) for which such
Defaulting Lender(s) shall have failed to fund its pro rata share until such time as such Borrowing(s) are paid in full or each Lender (including each Defaulting Lender) is owed its Applicable Percentage of all Loans then outstanding. After
acceleration or maturity of the Loans, subject to the first sentence of this Section 2.21(e), all principal will be paid ratably as provided in Section 2.19(b). 

(f) In the event that each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and Issuing Bank agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied
all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on the date of such readjustment such Lender shall purchase at par
such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 

(g) With respect to any Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent, may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof),
apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s outstanding obligations. 

Section 2.22. Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the
Obligations, the Administrative Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void
or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force
as if such payment or proceeds had not 

  
 65 








 
been received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.22 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section 2.22 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

Section 2.23. [Reserved]. 

Section 2.24. Superpriority Nature of Obligations and Liens. 

(a) The priority of the Obligations and the Liens of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on the Collateral owned by the Loan Parties shall
be set forth in the Interim DIP Order and the Final DIP Order; subject to the Carve Out, such Obligations shall at all times constitute allowed super-priority administrative expense claims in the Bankruptcy Cases, having priority over all
administrative expenses of the kind specified in, or ordered pursuant to, sections 105, 326, 328, 330, 331, 503(b), 506(c), 507(a), 507(b), 546(c), 726, 1113 or 1114 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise and shall be payable
from all assets and property of the Credit Parties. Subject to the terms and conditions of the DIP Orders, such Liens shall be (i) pursuant to section 364(c)(2) or 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, as applicable, first priority, perfected liens
and security interests on all assets of the Borrower and the Guarantors, including, without limitation, (A) all assets of the Credit Parties of the type securing the obligations under the Existing RBL Facility, (B) all personal property of
the Credit Parties, (C) all oil and gas properties of the Borrower and its subsidiaries (including, without limitation, all of the Borrowing Base Properties (as defined below)) and (D) all deposit accounts, securities accounts and
commodity accounts of the Credit Parties, (ii) pursuant to Section 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, a junior lien on any assets of the Credit Parties subject to a valid, perfected, and non-avoidable
lien as of the Petition Date, other than any such liens securing the obligations under the Existing RBL Facility, the 1.5 Lien Notes or the 1.75 Lien Debt and (iii) pursuant to section 364(c)(2) or 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, as applicable,
a valid first priority pledge of 100% of the stock of each of the Borrower’s direct and indirect Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Liens held by the Administrative Agent on the Collateral shall be
for the benefit of the Secured Parties. All of the Liens described in this Section 2.24 shall be valid, effective and perfected upon entry of the Interim DIP Order or Final DIP Order, as applicable, without the necessity of any further actions,
including, but not limited to, the execution, recordation of filings by the Debtors of mortgages, security agreements, control agreements, pledge agreements, financing statements or other similar documents or notices, or the possession, control or
other acts by the Administrative Agent of, or over, any Collateral, as set forth in the Interim DIP Order or Final DIP Order, as applicable. The Lenders, or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, shall be permitted, but not required, to
make or authorize the making of any filings, deliver any notices or take any other acts as may be desirable under state law in order to reflect the perfection and priority of the Lenders’ claims described herein. 

(b) Subject in all respects to the priorities set forth in Section 2.24(a) above and the terms of the DIP Orders (including the Carve
Out), the Borrower and the Guarantors hereby grant to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties a security interest in, and mortgage on, all of the right, title and interest of the Borrower and the Guarantors in all real Property
owned or leased by the Borrower or any Guarantor, together in each case with all of the 

  
 66 








 
right, title and interest of the Borrower or such Guarantor in and to all buildings, improvements, and fixtures related thereto, any lease or sublease thereof, all general intangibles relating
thereto and all proceeds thereof. The Borrower and the Guarantors hereby acknowledge that, pursuant to the DIP Order, the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in all of such real Property owned or leased by the
Borrower or any Guarantor shall be perfected without the recordation of any instruments of mortgage or assignment and the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall have the benefits of the DIP Order. 

Article III 
 Borrowing
Base 
 Section 3.01. Initial Borrowing Base. For the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the
first Redetermination Date, the amount of the Borrowing Base shall be $250,000,000 (the “Initial Borrowing Base”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the first Redetermination Date, the Borrowing Base may be subject to further
adjustments from time to time pursuant to this Article III, Section 6.12 and Section 7.03(a). 
 Section 3.02. Scheduled
and Interim Redeterminations. The Borrowing Base shall be redetermined (i) first, on or about January 1, 2019 based on a Reserve Report prepared by the Borrower’s internal engineering staff in a form reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent (the “First Scheduled Redetermination”) and (ii) thereafter, semi-annually in accordance with this Section 3.02 (each such redetermination in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), a
“Scheduled Redetermination”), and, subject to Section 3.04, such redetermined Borrowing Base shall become effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders on or about
(x) January 1, 2019 or (y) April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing April 1, 2019, as applicable. In addition, after the First Scheduled Redetermination, (i) the Borrower may, by notifying the Administrative
Agent thereof, elect to cause the Borrowing Base to be redetermined once between Scheduled Redeterminations, and (ii) the Administrative Agent may (either in its discretion or at the direction of the Required Lenders), by notifying the Borrower
thereof, elect to cause the Borrowing Base to be redetermined once between Scheduled Redeterminations (each such redetermination, an “Interim Redetermination”), in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in accordance
with this Article III. 
 Section 3.03. Scheduled and Interim Redetermination Procedure. 

(a) Each Scheduled Redetermination and each Interim Redetermination shall be effectuated as follows: Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent
of (A) the Reserve Report and (B) such other reports, data and supplemental information, including, without limitation, the information provided pursuant to Section 6.10, as may, from time to time, be reasonably requested by the
Required Lenders (the Reserve Report, such certificate and such other reports, data and supplemental information being the “Engineering Reports”), the Administrative Agent shall evaluate the information contained in the Engineering
Reports and shall, in good faith, propose a new Borrowing Base (the “Proposed Borrowing Base”) based upon such information and such other information (including, without limitation, the status of title information with respect to
the Oil and Gas Interests as described in the Engineering Reports, the existence of any 

  
 67 








 
other Indebtedness, the financial condition of the Credit Parties, the economic effect of the Borrower’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Swap Agreements then in effect, the value of
the Credit Parties’ Swap Agreements, the Credit Parties’ midstream contracts (including the Midstream Contracts listed on Schedule 3.03 to the extent the Credit Parties have not filed a motion seeking to reject such Midstream Contracts in
the Bankruptcy Cases pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code), the Carve-Out and such other credit factors) as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate in its sole discretion and consistent with its
normal oil and gas lending criteria as it exists at the particular time. As of any Redetermination Date, the commodity price forecasts used in such calculations of the Borrowing Base shall be the benchmark oil and gas prices utilized at such time by
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in borrowing base determinations for conforming reserve-based revolving credit facilities. 
 (b) The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the Proposed Borrowing Base (the “Proposed Borrowing Base Notice”): 

(i) in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination (A) if the Administrative Agent shall have received the Engineering Reports
and other information required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.10(a) in a timely and complete manner, then on or about March 15th and September 15th of such year following the date of delivery or (B) if the Administrative Agent shall not have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 6.10(a) in a timely and complete manner, then promptly after the Administrative Agent has received complete Engineering Reports and other information from the Borrower and has had a reasonable opportunity to determine the Proposed
Borrowing Base in accordance with Section 3.03(a); 
 (ii) in the case of an Interim Redetermination, promptly, and in
any event, within fifteen (15) days after the Administrative Agent has received the required Engineering Reports; and 

(iii) in the case of the First Scheduled Redetermination, (A) if the Administrative Agent shall have received the
Engineering Reports and other information required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.10(a) in a timely and complete manner, then on or about December 15, 2018 or (B) if the Administrative Agent shall not have
received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.10(a) in a timely and complete manner, then promptly after the Administrative Agent has received complete Engineering Reports and other information
from the Borrower and has had a reasonable opportunity to determine the Proposed Borrowing Base in accordance with Section 3.03(a). 

(c) Any Proposed Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing Base then in effect must be approved by all of the Lenders as provided in
this Section 3.03(c); and any Proposed Borrowing Base that would decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base then in effect must be approved or be deemed to have been approved by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders (in each
Lender’s sole discretion consistent with its normal oil and gas lending criteria as it exists at the particular time) as provided in this Section 3.03(c). Upon receipt of the Proposed Borrowing Base Notice, each Lender shall have fifteen
(15) days to agree with the 

  
 68 








 
Proposed Borrowing Base or disagree with the Proposed Borrowing Base by proposing an alternate Borrowing Base, and each Lender shall make its determination of the appropriate amount of the
Borrowing Base consistent with each such Lender’s normal and customary oil and gas lending criteria as it exists at the particular time. If at the end of such fifteen (15) days, any Lender has not communicated its approval or disapproval
in writing to the Administrative Agent, such silence shall be deemed to be an approval of the Proposed Borrowing Base. If, at the end of such 15-day period, all of the Lenders, in the case of a Proposed
Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing Base then in effect, or the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, in the case of a Proposed Borrowing Base that would decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base then in effect, have approved or
deemed to have approved, as aforesaid, then the Proposed Borrowing Base shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective on the date specified in Section 3.04. If, however, at the end of such 15-day period,
all of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, as applicable, have not approved or deemed to have approved, as aforesaid, then the Administrative Agent shall poll the Lenders to ascertain the highest Borrowing Base then
acceptable to a number of Lenders sufficient to constitute the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable, and, subject to the approval rights contained in this Section 3.04, such amount shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective
on the date specified in Section 3.04. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.03, upon receipt of any
Proposed Borrowing Base Notice in connection with a Scheduled Redetermination or Interim Redetermination, the Borrower may elect in writing to the Administrative Agent that the amount of the Borrowing Base be recalculated to equal the amount that is
66.67% of the net present value, discounted at nine percent (9%) per annum, of the future net revenues expected to accrue to the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ collective interests in the Borrowing Base Properties classified as
“proved developed producing reserves,” using the updated commodity pricing forecasts set forth in Section 3.03(a); provided that such calculation shall be made only on the basis of a Reserve Report prepared by an Approved
Petroleum Engineer (which the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent in connection with any such request, to the extent a Reserve Report prepared by an Approved Petroleum Engineer was not previously delivered in connection with such
Borrowing Base redetermination), which such Reserve Report shall be adjusted to account for produced volumes and proved developed producing conversions through the most recent quarter end. 

Section 3.04. Effectiveness of a Redetermined Borrowing Base. After a redetermined Borrowing Base is approved or is deemed
to have been approved by all of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, as applicable, pursuant to Section 3.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the amount of the
redetermined Borrowing Base (the “New Borrowing Base Notice”), and such amount shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, (a) in
the case of a Scheduled Redetermination, (1) if the Administrative Agent shall have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.10(a) in a timely and complete manner, then on or about
April 1st and October 1st of such year, as applicable, following such notice, or if the Administrative Agent shall not have received the
Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.10(a) in a timely and complete manner, then on the Business Day next succeeding delivery of such notice; and (b) in the case of an Interim Redetermination,
on the Business Day next succeeding delivery of such notice. 

  
 69 








 Such amount shall then become the Borrowing Base until the next Scheduled Redetermination Date,
the next Interim Redetermination Date or the next adjustment to the Borrowing Base under Section 3.06 or Section 6.12, whichever occurs first. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Scheduled Redetermination or Interim Redetermination shall
become effective until the New Borrowing Base Notice related thereto is received by the Borrower. 
 Section 3.05.
Lenders’ Sole Discretion. The Lenders shall have no obligation to determine the Borrowing Base at any particular amount. Furthermore, Borrower acknowledges that the Lenders have no obligation to increase the Borrowing Base
and that any increase in the Borrowing Base is in each Lender’s sole discretion and subject to the individual credit approval processes of each of the Lenders which processes shall be conducted in good faith and based upon such information and
such other information (including, without limitation, the status of title information with respect to the Oil and Gas Interests as described in the Engineering Reports, the existence of any other Indebtedness, the financial condition of the Credit
Parties, the economic effect of the Borrower’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Swap Agreements then in effect and such other credit factors) as such Lender deems appropriate in its sole discretion and consistent with its normal oil and
gas lending criteria as it exists at the particular time. 
 Section 3.06. Mandatory Borrowing Base Reduction. (a) If at
any time, the sum of (i) the aggregate Engineered Value of the Borrowing Base Properties Disposed of (as determined by the Administrative Agent and confirmed by the Required Lenders) and (ii) the Borrowing Base value attributable to Swap
Agreements terminated, liquidated or otherwise monetized since the last Scheduled Redetermination exceeds, individually or in the aggregate when combined with all such other terminated, liquidated or monetized Swap Agreements and Disposed Borrowing
Base Properties since the last Scheduled Redetermination, two and half percent (2.5%) of the then effective Borrowing Base, the Borrowing Base shall be automatically reduced pursuant to this Section 3.06(a) by an amount equal to such Engineered
Value and/or attributable Borrowing Base value and, in each case, the Borrowing Base as so reduced shall become the new Borrowing Base immediately upon the consummation of such Disposition (or in the case of a Swap Agreement, termination,
liquidation or other monetization), effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders until the next redetermination or other adjustment of the Borrowing Base pursuant to this Agreement. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time, the sum of (i) the fair market value (as determined by the
Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) of the assets Disposed of and Swap Agreements terminated, liquidated or otherwise monetized since the Effective Date, individually or in the aggregate when combined with all such other terminated,
liquidated or monetized Swap Agreements and Disposed assets since the Effective Date, exceeds $10,000,000.00, the Borrowing Base shall be automatically reduced pursuant to this Section 3.06(b) by an amount equal to such fair market value, and,
in each case, the Borrowing Base as so reduced shall become the new Borrowing Base immediately upon the consummation of such Disposition (or in the case of a Swap Agreement, termination, liquidation, or other monetization), effective and applicable
to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders until the next redetermination or other adjustment of the Borrowing Base pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 4.10. ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such
ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Benefit Plan (based on the assumptions used
for purposes of FASB Statement 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $5,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of such Benefit Plan, and the present value of all
accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Benefit Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of FASB Statement 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than

Interests. 
 Section 4.14. Margin Stock. Neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary is engaged principally, or as one
of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock or any other purpose that would cause the DIP Facilities to constitute a “purpose credit” (within the meaning of
Regulation U issued by the Board), and no part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock. 

  
 74 








 Section 4.15. Oil and Gas Interests. Each Credit Party has good and defensible title
to all proved reserves included in the Oil and Gas Interests (for purposes of this Section 4.15, “proved Oil and Gas Interests”) described in the most recent Reserve Report provided to the Administrative Agent, free and clear of all
Liens except Liens permitted pursuant to Section 7.02; all such proved Oil and Gas Interests are valid, subsisting, and in full force and effect, and all rentals, royalties, and other amounts due and payable in respect thereof have been duly
paid; without regard to any consent or non-consent provisions of any joint operating agreement covering any Credit Party’s proved Oil and Gas Interests, such Credit Party’s share of (a) the
costs for each proved Oil and Gas Interest described in the Reserve Report is not materially greater than the decimal fraction set forth in the Reserve Report, before and after payout, as the case may be, and described therein by the respective
designations “working interests,” “WI,” “gross working interest,” “GWI,” or similar terms (except in such cases where there is a corresponding increase in the net revenue interest), and (b) production
from, allocated to, or attributed to each such proved Oil and Gas Interest is not materially less than the decimal fraction set forth in the Reserve Report, before and after payout, as the case may be, and described therein by the designations
“net revenue interest,” “NRI,” or similar terms; each well drilled in respect of proved producing Oil and Gas Interests described in the Reserve Report (1) is capable of, and is presently, either producing Hydrocarbons in
commercially profitable quantities or in the process of being worked over or enhanced, and the Credit Party that owns such proved producing Oil and Gas Interests is currently receiving payments for its share of production, with no funds in respect
of any thereof being presently held in suspense, other than any such funds being held in suspense pending delivery of appropriate division orders, and (2) has been drilled, bottomed, completed, and operated in compliance with all applicable
laws, in the case of clauses (1) and (2), except where any failure to satisfy clause (1) or to comply with clause (2) would not have a Material Adverse Effect or would otherwise be subject to the automatic stay as a result of the
filing of the Bankruptcy Cases, and no such well which is currently producing Hydrocarbons is subject to any penalty in production by reason of such well having produced in excess of its allowable production. 

Section 4.16. Insurance. Each Credit Party has (a) all insurance policies sufficient for the compliance by each of them with
all material Governmental Requirements and all material agreements to which such Credit Party is a party and (b) insurance coverage in such amounts and against such risk (including, without limitation, public liability) that are usually insured
against by companies similarly situated and engaged in the same or a similar business for the assets and operations of the Credit Parties. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders have been named as additional insureds in respect of such liability
insurance policies and the Administrative Agent has been named as loss payee with respect to Property loss insurance. 
 Section 4.17.
[Reserved]. 

  
 75 








 Section 4.18. Deposit Accounts. Except for the BG Escrow Account, the BG
Operating Account, the Permitted Non-JPMorgan Accounts and other deposit and investment accounts maintained at financial institutions other than the Administrative Agent or any Lender the aggregate balance of
which does not exceed $250,000 at any time for all such other deposit and investment accounts taken as a whole, no Credit Party maintains any deposit or investment account into which either (a) proceeds of Hydrocarbon production from the Oil
and Gas Interests included in the Borrowing Base Properties are deposited or (b) distributions and dividends on Equity Interests owned by any Credit Party are paid and deposited, in each case, other than deposit or investment accounts
maintained with the Administrative Agent or any other Lender. 
 Section 4.19. Maintenance of Properties. Except for such acts
or failures to act as could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Oil and Gas Interests (and Properties unitized therewith) of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries have been maintained, operated and developed in a
good and workmanlike manner and in conformity with all Governmental Requirements and in conformity with the provisions of all leases, subleases or other contracts comprising a part of the Oil and Gas Interests and other contracts and agreements
forming a part of the Oil and Gas Interests of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries. Specifically in connection with the foregoing, except for those as could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) no Oil and
Gas Interest of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is subject to having allowable production reduced below the full and regular allowable (including the maximum permissible tolerance) because of any overproduction (whether or not the same was
permissible at the time) and (ii) none of the wells comprising a part of the Oil and Gas Interests (or Properties unitized therewith) of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries is deviated from the vertical more than the maximum permitted
by Governmental Requirements, and such wells are, in fact, bottomed under and are producing from, and the well bores are wholly within, the Oil and Gas Interests (or in the case of wells located on Properties unitized therewith, such unitized
Properties) of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries. The wells drilled in respect of proved producing Oil and Gas Interests described in the Reserve Report (other than wells drilled in respect of such proved producing Oil and Gas Interests
that have been subsequently Disposed of in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) are capable of, and are presently, either producing Hydrocarbons in commercially profitable quantities or in the process of being worked over or enhanced, and
the Credit Party that owns such proved producing Oil and Gas Interests is currently receiving payments for its share of production, with no funds in respect of any thereof being presently held in suspense, other than any such funds being held in
suspense pending delivery of appropriate division orders. All pipelines, wells, gas processing plants, platforms and other material improvements, fixtures and equipment owned in whole or in part by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that are
necessary to conduct normal operations are being maintained in a state adequate to conduct normal operations, and with respect to such of the foregoing which are operated by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, in a manner consistent with the
past practices of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries (other than those the failure of which to maintain in accordance with this Section 4.19 could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect). 

Section 4.20. Foreign Corrupt Practices. No Credit Party, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or Affiliate of any Credit
Party is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a material violation by such Persons of the FCPA, including without limitation, making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce
corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the giving of anything of value to any “foreign official” (as such
term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign 

  
 76 








 
political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political office, in contravention of the FCPA; and, the Credit Parties and their Affiliates have conducted their business in
material compliance with the FCPA and have instituted and maintained policies and procedures designed to ensure, and which are reasonably expected to continue to ensure, continued compliance therewith. 

Section 4.21. Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. The Borrower has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures
designed to ensure compliance by the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions, and the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective officers and
employees and to the knowledge of the 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 Borrower being designated as a Sanctioned Person. None of (a) the Borrower, any Subsidiary or to the knowledge of the Borrower or such Subsidiary any of their respective directors, officers or employees, or (b) to the knowledge
of the Borrower, any agent of the Borrower or any Subsidiary that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the credit facility established hereby, is a Sanctioned Person. No
Borrowing or Letter of Credit, use of proceeds or other transaction contemplated by this Agreement will violate Anti-Corruption Laws or applicable Sanctions. 

Section 4.22. Security Interest in Collateral. Subject to the entry of the DIP Orders by the Bankruptcy Court, the provisions of
each Security Instrument and the DIP Order are effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a legal, valid, and enforceable fully perfected Lien in all right, title, and interest of the Borrower and
each Restricted Subsidiary party thereto in the Collateral, with the priority ascribed to such Lien in the DIP Orders. 
 Section 4.23.
Locations of Business and Offices. The principal place of business and chief executive office of the Borrower is located at the address for the Borrower set forth in Section 11.01(a)(i) or at such other location as the Borrower may have
previously advised the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 4.24.     

Section 4.24 [Reserved]. 

Section 4.25. Gas Imbalances, Prepayments. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.25 or as disclosed in writing to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the most recently delivered Reserve Report, on a net basis there are no gas imbalances, take or pay or other prepayments that would require the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to
deliver Hydrocarbons produced from their respective Oil and Gas Properties at some future time without then or thereafter receiving full payment therefor. 

  
 77 








 Section 4.26. Marketing of Production. Except for contracts listed and in effect on
the date hereof on Schedule 4.26, and thereafter either disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent or included in the most recently delivered Reserve Report (with respect to all of which contracts the Borrower represent that it or the
Restricted Subsidiaries are receiving a price for all production sold thereunder that is computed substantially in accordance with the terms of the relevant contract and are not having deliveries curtailed substantially below the subject
Property’s delivery capacity), no material agreements exist that are not cancelable on 60 days’ notice or less without penalty or detriment for the sale of production from the Borrower’s or the Restricted Subsidiaries’
Hydrocarbons (including, without limitation, calls on or other rights to purchase, production, whether or not the same are currently being exercised) and that (a) pertain to the sale of production at a fixed price and (b) have a maturity
or expiry date of longer than six (6) months from the date hereof. 
 Section 4.27. Restriction on Liens. Neither the
Borrower nor any of the Restricted Subsidiaries is a party to any material agreement or arrangement (other than instruments creating Liens permitted by Section 7.02, but then only on the Property subject of such Lien), or subject to any order,
judgment, writ or decree other than pursuant to the DIP Orders, that restricts or purports to restrict its ability to grant Liens to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on or in respect of their respective assets or Properties to secure the
Obligations. 
 Section 4.28. Hedging Transactions. Except for Swap Agreements with Lender Counterparties, no Debtor is party to
any Swap Agreements as of the date hereof. 
 Section 4.29. Use of Loans. Each Credit Party will use the proceeds of the Loans
and solely for Approved Purposes. No Credit Party is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying margin stock or
any other purpose that would cause the DIP Facilities to constitute a “purpose credit” (within the meaning of Regulation U or X of the Board). No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used for any purpose which violates the provisions
of Regulations T, U or X of the Board. 
 Section 4.30. Foreign Operations. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.30, the Borrower
and the other Credit Parties do not own any Oil and Gas Interests that are located outside of the geographic boundaries of the United States.

Administrative Agent and the Lenders of each Reserve Report required by Section 6.10, the Borrower will deliver title information in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent covering enough of the Oil and Gas Interests

title information on at least eighty-five (85%) of the total Engineered Value of the Borrowing Base Properties (the “Minimum Mortgaged Value”) of the Oil and Gas Interests evaluated by such Reserve Report. 

(b) If title information for additional Properties has been provided under Section 6.11(a), the Borrower shall, within 60 days of notice
from the Administrative Agent that title defects or exceptions exist with respect to such additional Properties that are not permitted by Section 7.02, either (i) cure any such title defects or exceptions (including defects or exceptions
as to priority), (ii) substitute acceptable Mortgaged Properties with no title defects or exceptions (other than Liens which are permitted by Section 7.02) having an equivalent value or (iii) deliver title information in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent so that the Administrative Agent shall have received, together with title information previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, satisfactory title information on at least the Minimum
Mortgaged Value. 
 (c) If any title defect or exception identified by the Administrative Agent pursuant to a notice to the Borrower as
described in Section 6.11(b) cannot be cured or the Borrower does not substitute acceptable Mortgaged Properties or the Borrower does not comply with the requirement to provide acceptable title information covering at least the Minimum
Mortgaged Value, in each case within the 60-day period described in Section 6.11(b), such default shall not be a Default, but instead the Administrative Agent and/or the Required Lenders shall have the
right to exercise the remedy described in the immediately succeeding sentence in their sole discretion from time to time, and any failure to so exercise such remedy at any time shall not be a waiver as to any future exercise of such remedy by the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders. To the extent that the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders are not satisfied with title to any Mortgaged Property after the 60-day period described in
Section 6.11(b) has elapsed, such Mortgaged Property shall not count towards the percentage of the Minimum Mortgaged Value for satisfactory title information and shall be deemed not to have been included in the most recently delivered Reserve
Report, and the Administrative Agent may send a notice to the Borrower and the Lenders that the then outstanding Borrowing Base shall be reduced by an amount as determined by the Required Lenders to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with the
requirement to provide satisfactory title information on the Minimum Mortgaged Value. This new Borrowing Base shall become effective immediately after receipt of such notice.

(i) become a party to this Agreement and Guarantee the Obligations by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a Counterpart Agreement in the form of Exhibit B, and (ii) to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative
Agent, execute and deliver Mortgages and other Security Instruments creating Liens prior and superior in right to any other Person, subject to Permitted Encumbrances, in such Restricted Subsidiary’s Oil and Gas Interests and other assets. Upon
delivery of any such Counterpart Agreement to the Administrative Agent, notice of which is hereby waived by each Credit Party, such Restricted Subsidiary shall be a Guarantor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Restricted Subsidiary were
an original signatory hereto. Each Credit Party expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Credit Party hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to
any Credit Party that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Credit Party hereunder. With respect to each such Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower shall promptly send to the
Administrative Agent written notice setting forth with respect to such Person the date on which such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower, and supplement the data required to be set forth in the Schedules to this Agreement as a

the applicable Testing Period; and (ii) any variance (whether positive or negative, expressed as a percentage) between the aggregate disbursements made during such Testing Period by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries against the aggregate
disbursements for the Testing Period, as set forth in the applicable 13-Week Forecast. 
 (c) On each
Thursday, commencing with the first Thursday to occur after the Effective Date, the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a report showing actual receipts and disbursements through the prior week in the format of the 13-Week Forecast, and an explanation of any variance to the applicable 13-Week Forecast.

cap, collar or exchange interest rates (from fixed to floating rates, from one floating rate to another floating rate or otherwise) with respect to any interest-bearing liability or investment of any Credit Party, and 

(c) in no event shall any Swap Agreement contain any requirement, agreement or covenant for any Credit Party to post collateral, credit support
(including in the form of letters of credit) or margin to secure their obligations under such Swap Agreement or to cover market exposures (other than Collateral and other credit support pursuant to the Loan Documents). 

  
 101 








 If, after the end of any fiscal month, commencing with the first full calendar month ending after
the Effective Date, the Borrower determines that the aggregate weighted average of the notional volumes of all Swap Agreements in respect of commodities for such month (other than basis differential swaps on volumes already hedged pursuant to other
Swap Agreements) exceeded 100% of actual production of Hydrocarbons in such month, then the Borrower (i) shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such determination and (ii) shall, within 30 days after such determination,
terminate (only to the extent such terminations are permitted pursuant to this Agreement), create off-setting positions, or otherwise unwind or monetize (only to the extent such unwinds or monetizations are
permitted pursuant to this Agreement) existing Swap Agreements such that, at such time, future hedging volumes will not exceed 100% of reasonably anticipated projected production for the then-current and any succeeding calendar month. 

For purposes of entering into or maintaining Swap Agreement trades or transactions under this Section 7.05, forecasts of reasonably
anticipated production from the Credit Parties’ Proved Oil and Gas Properties as set forth on the most recent Reserve Report delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to be updated to account for any increase or decrease
therein anticipated because of information obtained by the Credit Parties and delivered to the Administrative Agent at the option of the Borrower subsequent to the publication of such Reserve Report including, without limitation, (i) the Credit
Parties’ internal forecasts of production decline rates for existing wells, (ii) additions to or deletions from anticipated future production from new wells, (iii) completed dispositions, and (iv) completed acquisitions coming on
stream or failing to come on stream; provided that (A) any such supplemental information shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (B) if any such supplemental information is delivered, such information shall be
presented on a net basis (i.e., it shall take into account both increases and decreases in anticipated production subsequent to publication of the most recent Reserve Report). 

Except as otherwise required pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, in the event any Credit Party enters into a Swap Agreement, the
terms and conditions of such Swap Agreement may not be amended or modified, nor may any Credit Party sell, assign, monetize, transfer, cancel or otherwise dispose of any of its rights and interests in any such Swap Agreement without the prior
written consent of the Majority Lenders (it being understood that any Lender Counterparty may sell, assign, transfer, novate, or otherwise dispose of its rights and interests in any Swap Agreement to any other Lender Counterparty at any time);
provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Credit Party may enter into a Swap Modification so long as (i) within three (3) Business Days thereafter, the Borrower provides written notice to the Administrative Agent of the
terms of such Swap Modification, setting forth in reasonable detail, (x) the effect of such Swap Modification on the aggregate notional volume of Crude Oil and Natural Gas subject to the Credit Parties’ Swap Agreements and (y) the
amount of Net Cash Proceeds received by such Credit Party as a result of such Swap Modification, (ii) the aggregate notional volume of Crude Oil and Natural Gas affected by such Swap Modification, together with all other Swap Modifications
consummated since the Effective Date or the most recent Redetermination Date, as applicable, does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the aggregate notional volume of Crude Oil and Natural Gas subject to the Credit Parties’ Swap Agreements in
effect as of the most recent report with respect to the Credit Parties’ Swap Agreements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(c), and (iii) the Borrower applies the Net Cash Proceeds received by any Credit Party as a result of such Swap

Article VIII 
 Guarantee
of Obligations 
 Section 8.01. Guarantee of Payment. Each Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the punctual payment of all Obligations now or which may in the future be owing by any Credit Party (the “Guaranteed Liabilities”). This Guarantee is a guaranty of payment
and not of collection only. 

  
 106 








 
The Administrative Agent shall not be required to exhaust any right or remedy or take any action against the Borrower or any other Person or any collateral. The Guaranteed Liabilities include
interest accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws of any jurisdiction at the rate or rates provided in the Loan Documents, or the Swap Agreements between any Credit Party and any Secured Party, as
the case may be, regardless of whether such interest is an allowed claim. Each Guarantor agrees that, as between the Guarantor and the Administrative Agent, the Guaranteed Liabilities may be declared to be due and payable for the purposes of this
Guarantee notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition which may prevent, delay or vitiate any declaration as regards the Borrower or any other Guarantor and that in the event of a declaration or attempted declaration, the Guaranteed
Liabilities shall immediately become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purposes of this Guarantee. 
 Section 8.02.
Guarantee Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Liabilities shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Swap Agreements to which any Secured Party is a party. The liability of each Guarantor
hereunder is absolute and unconditional irrespective of: (a) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Loan Documents or the Guaranteed Liabilities, or any other amendment or waiver of or
any consent to departure from any of the terms of any Loan Document or Guaranteed Liability, including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon; (b) any release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other
guaranty or support document, or any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, for all or any of the Loan Documents or Guaranteed Liabilities; (c) any present or future law, regulation or
order of any jurisdiction (whether of right or in fact) or of any agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend, restructure or otherwise affect any term of any Loan Document or Guaranteed Liability; (d) without being limited by the foregoing, any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or Guaranteed Liability; and (e) any other setoff, defense or counterclaim whatsoever (in any case, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory) with respect to the Loan Documents
or the transactions contemplated thereby which might constitute a legal or equitable defense available to, or discharge of, the Borrower or a Guarantor. 

Section 8.03. Guarantee Irrevocable. This Guarantee is a continuing guaranty of the payment of all Guaranteed Liabilities now or
hereafter existing under this Agreement and such Swap Agreements to which any Secured Party is a party and shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all Guaranteed Liabilities and other amounts payable hereunder and until this
Agreement and the Swap Agreements are no longer in effect or, if earlier, when the Guarantor has given the Administrative Agent written notice that this Guarantee has been revoked; provided that any notice under this Section shall not release
the revoking Guarantor from any Guaranteed Liability, absolute or contingent, existing prior to the Administrative Agent’s actual receipt of the notice at its branches or departments responsible for this Agreement and such Swap Agreements and
reasonable opportunity to act upon such notice. 
 Section 8.04. Reinstatement. This Guarantee shall continue to be effective or
be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party on the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, or any other Credit
Party, or otherwise, all as though the payment had not been made. 

  
 107 








 Section 8.05. Subrogation. No Guarantor shall exercise any rights which it may
acquire by way of subrogation, by any payment made under this Guarantee or otherwise, until all the Guaranteed Liabilities have been paid in full and this Agreement and the Swap Agreements to which any Lender Counterparty is a party are no longer in
effect. If any amount is paid to the Guarantor on account of subrogation rights under this Guarantee at any time when all the Guaranteed Liabilities have not been paid in full, the amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and the
Lender Counterparties and shall be promptly paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Liabilities, whether matured or unmatured or absolute or contingent, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such
Swap Agreements. If any Guarantor makes payment to the Administrative Agent, Lenders, or any Lender Counterparties of all or any part of the Guaranteed Liabilities and all the Guaranteed Liabilities are paid in full and this Agreement and such Swap
Agreements are no longer in effect, the Administrative Agent, Lenders and Lender Counterparties shall, at such Guarantor’s request, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or
warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Liabilities resulting from the payment. 

Section 8.06. Subordination. Without limiting the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Lender Counterparties
under any other agreement, any liabilities owed by the Borrower to any Guarantor in connection with any extension of credit or financial accommodation by any Guarantor to or for the account of the Borrower, including but not limited to interest
accruing at the agreed contract rate after the commencement of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding, are hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Liabilities, and such liabilities of the Borrower to such Guarantor, if the Administrative Agent so
requests, shall be collected, enforced and received by any Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Liabilities but without reducing or affecting in any manner
the liability of the Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guarantee. 
 Section 8.07. Payments Generally. All payments
by the Guarantors shall be made in the manner, at the place and in the currency (the “Payment Currency”) required by the Loan Documents and the Swap Agreement to which any Lender Counterparty is a party, as the case may be;
provided, however, that (if the Payment Currency is other than Dollars) any Guarantor may, at its option (or, if for any reason whatsoever any Guarantor is unable to effect payments in the foregoing manner, such Guarantor shall be
obligated to) pay to the Administrative Agent at its principal office the equivalent amount in Dollars computed at the selling rate of the Administrative Agent or a selling rate chosen by the Administrative Agent, most recently in effect on or prior
to the date the Guaranteed Liability becomes due, for cable transfers of the Payment Currency to the place where the Guaranteed Liability is payable. In any case in which any Guarantor makes or is obligated to make payment in Dollars, the Guarantor
shall hold the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Lender Counterparties harmless from any loss incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Lender Counterparty arising from any change in the value of Dollars in relation to the
Payment Currency between the date the Guaranteed Liability becomes due and the date the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Lender Counterparty is actually able, following the conversion of the Dollars paid by such Guarantor into the Payment
Currency and remittance of such Payment Currency to the place where such Guaranteed Liability is payable, to apply such Payment Currency to such Guaranteed Liability. 

  
 108 








 Section 8.08. Setoff. Each Guarantor agrees that, in addition to (and without
limitation of) any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Lender Counterparty may otherwise have, the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Lender Counterparty shall be entitled, at its
option, to offset balances (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) held by it for the account of any Guarantor at any office of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Lender Counterparty, in Dollars or in any other
currency, against any amount payable by such Guarantor under this Guarantee which is not paid when due (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Guarantor), in which case it shall promptly notify such Guarantor thereof;
provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent, such Lender, or such Lender Counterparty to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof. 

Section 8.09. Formalities. Each Guarantor waives presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of acceptance of this Guarantee
or incurrence of any Guaranteed Liability and any other formality with respect to any of the Guaranteed Liabilities or this Guarantee. 

Section 8.10. Limitations on Guarantee. The provisions of the Guarantee under this Article VIII 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 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 Guarantee, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Guarantee to the contrary, the amount of
such liability shall, without any further action by the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Lender Counterparty, 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 8.10, with respect to the Maximum Liability of the Guarantors, is intended solely to preserve
the rights of the Administrative Agent, Lenders and Lender Counterparties hereunder to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section 8.10
with respect to the Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that none of the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder shall be rendered voidable under applicable law. 

Section 8.11. Keepwell. 

(a) Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or
other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Credit Party to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable
under this Section 8.11 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 8.11, or 

  
 109 








 
otherwise under this Agreement, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP
Guarantor under this Section 8.11 shall remain in full force and effect until this Agreement is terminated, all Obligations are paid in full (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made and liquidated that by the express
terms of the Loan Documents survive termination thereof and/or payment in full of the Obligations) and all of the Lenders’ Commitments are terminated. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 8.11 constitute, and this
Section 8.11 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 

(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Obligations guaranteed by any Guarantor, or secured by
the grant of any Lien by such Guarantor under any Security Instrument, shall exclude all Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor. 
 Section 8.12.
Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms
of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any Swap Agreement with a Lender Counterparty shall nonetheless be payable by each of the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the written request of the Majority
Lenders. 
 Article IX 

Events of Default 
 If any
of the following events (“Events of Default”) shall occur: 
 (a) the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal of any Loan

or otherwise; 
 (b) the Borrower shall fail to pay any interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount (other than an amount referred to

waiver hereunder or in any Loan Document furnished pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any amendment or modification thereof or waiver hereunder, shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made;

Section 6.09, Section 6.26 (and in the case of any failure to deliver any 13-Week Forecast or other report required under Section 6.26 when due, such failure shall continue unremedied for a
period of three (3) Business Days) or in Article VII; 
 (e) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall fail to observe or perform
any covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Agreement (other than those specified in clause (a), (b) or (d) of this Article) or any Loan Document, and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after
the notice thereof from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower (which notice will be given at the request of any Lender); 
 (f) the
Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall fail to make any payment (whether of principal or interest and regardless of amount) in respect of any Material Indebtedness, when and as the same shall become due and payable, and which is not stayed
by the filing of the voluntary petition to commence the Bankruptcy Cases and is otherwise permitted to be paid under this Agreement and by the DIP Orders; 

(g) other than as a result of the filing of the Bankruptcy Cases and solely to the extent not stayed by the automatic stay in the Bankruptcy
Cases, any event or condition occurs that results in any Material Indebtedness becoming due prior to its scheduled maturity or that enables or permits the holder or holders of any Material Indebtedness or any trustee or agent on its or their behalf
to cause any Material Indebtedness to become due, or to require the prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity; provided that this clause (g) shall not apply to secured Indebtedness that
becomes due as a result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such Indebtedness to the extent such voluntary sale or transfer of property is permitted hereunder; 

(h) other than as a result of the filing of the Bankruptcy Cases, one or more judgments for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in
excess of $5,000,000 shall be rendered against the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or any combination thereof and the same shall remain undischarged for a period of forty-five (45) consecutive days during which execution shall not be

(5) Business Day notice period, the Borrower may use proceeds of the Loans or cash collateral of the Lenders to (i) fund operations in accordance with Section 6.26, including the Permitted Variances, and (ii) fund the Carve Out.

 Article X 
 The
Administrative Agent 
 Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender
and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any Credit Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it
were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing
as directed by the Majority Lenders or the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its
Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or 

  
 113 








 
not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders or the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances
as provided in Section 11.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the
Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this
Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein,
(iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral or
(vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate,
consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by
it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and
shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through
their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may
resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so
appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the
Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in Chicago, Illinois or New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder. 

  
 114 








 
The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After
the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative 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 it was acting as Administrative Agent. 

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder. 
 Each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to release any Collateral that it is
permitted to be sold or released pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to the Borrower, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, any and
all releases of Liens, termination statements, assignments or other documents reasonably requested by the Borrower in connection with any sale or other disposition of Collateral to the extent such sale or other disposition is permitted by the terms
of Section 7.03 or is otherwise authorized by the terms of the Loan Documents.

 Section 11.02. Waivers; Amendments. 

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies
that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by this Section, and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default,
regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any other provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Credit Party or Credit Parties that are party thereto and the Majority Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, by the Credit Party or Credit Parties that are party thereto
and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Majority Lenders (or Fairfax, as expressly provided in this Agreement or other Loan Document); provided that no such agreement shall: 

(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (including any such Lender that is a
Defaulting Lender); 
 (ii) increase the Borrowing Base or modify any component thereof or provisions related thereto that
would have the effect of increasing the Borrowing Base, in each case without the consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender, provided that the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender (i.e., such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of the Borrowing Base) may not be increased without the consent of such Defaulting Lender 
 (iii) reduce or
forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a
Defaulting Lender other than fees to which such Defaulting Lender is not entitled to receive as a result of being a Defaulting Lender) affected thereby; 

  
 117 








 (iv) postpone or waive any payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC
Disbursement, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Letter of Credit beyond the Maturity Date, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment,
or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) affected thereby (it being understood that waiver of a mandatory prepayment of the
Loans shall constitute a postponement or waiver of a payment or scheduled date of expiration); 
 (v) change
Section 2.02(b), Section 2.02(c), Section 2.11, Section 2.12(e), Section 2.12(f), Section 2.19(a), Section 2.19(b), Section 2.19(c) or Section 2.19(e) in a manner that would alter the manner in which
payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender);

not a Lender (or an Affiliate of a Lender) at the time of such agreement; 
 (vii) change any of the provisions of this
Section 11.02(b), Section 11.02(c), Section 11.03(a), Section 11.04(e) or the definition of “Majority Lender”, “Required Lenders”, or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or
percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a
Defaulting Lender) directly affected thereby; 
 (viii) release any Guarantor from its obligation under its Guaranty (except
as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender);

any Defaulting Lender); 
 (x) without the consent of Lenders holding at least a majority of the outstanding
Commitments, amend, modify or waive any provision in Section 5.02 or waive any Default or Event of Default (or amend any Loan Document to effectively waive any Default or Event of Default) if the effect of such amendment, modification or waiver
is that the Lenders shall be required to fund Loans when such Lenders would otherwise not be required to do so; or 

  
 118 








 (xi) without the consent of each Lender, (I) except as provided in Article X
or in any Security Instrument, release all or substantially all of the Collateral (II) permit any transaction which, after giving effect thereto and any related prepayments of the Loans (and cash collateralization of Letters of Credit), would

Liquidity to reduce the minimum amount required thereunder. 
 provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or
otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank hereunder (including the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank under Section 2.21) without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent may also amend Schedule 2.01(A) to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 11.04. 

(c) [Reserved]. 
 (d)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.02, the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to correct any clerical
errors or cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency. 
 Section 11.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

 (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of
counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of

 119 








 (b) THE CREDIT PARTIES SHALL INDEMNIFY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK AND EACH
LENDER, AND EACH RELATED PARTY OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING PERSONS (EACH SUCH PERSON BEING CALLED AN “INDEMNITEE”) AGAINST, AND HOLD EACH INDEMNITEE HARMLESS FROM, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, LIABILITIES AND RELATED
EXPENSES, INCLUDING THE FEES, CHARGES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ONE OUTSIDE COUNSEL (IN ADDITION TO ANY REASONABLY NECESSARY LOCAL COUNSEL IN EACH APPLICABLE JURISDICTION, ANY NECESSARY BANKRUPTCY CONFLICTS COUNSEL(S), AND SOLELY IN THE CASE OF A
CONFLICT OF INTEREST, ONE ADDITIONAL COUNSEL IN EACH RELEVANT JURISDICTION THAT IS MATERIAL TO EACH GROUP OF SIMILARLY SITUATED AFFECTED INDEMNITEES) FOR ALL INDEMNITEES, INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION
WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF (I) THE EXECUTION OR DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THE PERFORMANCE BY THE PARTIES HERETO OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS
OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, (II) ANY LOAN OR LETTER OF CREDIT OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREFROM (INCLUDING ANY REFUSAL BY THE ISSUING BANK TO HONOR A DEMAND FOR PAYMENT UNDER A LETTER OF CREDIT IF THE DOCUMENTS PRESENTED
IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH DEMAND DO NOT STRICTLY COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT), (III) ANY ACTUAL OR ALLEGED PRESENCE OR RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON OR FROM ANY PROPERTY OWNED OR OPERATED BY THE BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY,
OR ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THE BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY, OR (IV) ANY ACTUAL OR PROSPECTIVE CLAIM, LITIGATION, INVESTIGATION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY INDEMNITEE IS A PARTY THERETO; PROVIDED THAT SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL NOT, AS TO ANY INDEMNITEE, BE AVAILABLE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR RELATED EXPENSES ARE DETERMINED BY
A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY FINAL AND NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNITEE. 

(c) To the extent that any Credit Party fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank under
paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such unpaid amount with respect to the amounts to be paid
to the Issuing Bank and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such unpaid amount with respect to amounts to be paid to the Administrative Agent (in each case, determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity
payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Issuing

ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THE TRANSACTIONS, ANY LOAN OR LETTER OF CREDIT OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREOF. 
 (e) To
the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee or any party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to
direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with or as a result of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that a claim for indemnity under Section 11.03(b), to the extent covered thereby, is a claim of direct or actual damages and nothing contained in the foregoing sentence shall limit the Credit Parties’ indemnification obligations
to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnitee is otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder. 

(f) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after written demand therefor.

that administers or manages a Lender. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv)
of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, 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 Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Assumption 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 Section 2.16,
Section 2.17, Section 2.18 and Section 11.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.04 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 paragraph (c) of this Section except that any attempted assignment or transfer by any Lender that does not comply with clause (C) of
Section 11.04(b)(ii) shall be null and void. 
 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment and Applicable Percentage of, and principal
amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Credit Parties, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may 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 Credit Parties, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the
assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section any written consent to such assignment required by
paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have
failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.07(d) or Section 2.07(e), Section 2.08, Section 2.19(d) or Section 11.03(c), the 

  
 123 








 
Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in
full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 

(c) 
 (i) Any
Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (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 and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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. 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 this Agreement; provided that 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 the first proviso to Section 11.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18 (subject to the requirements and
limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.18(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.18(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and
had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.17 and 2.18 as if it were an assignee under clause (b) of
this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16 or 2.18, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such
entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. 

(ii) To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it
were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.19(c) as though it were a Lender. 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 stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the
“Participant Register”); provided that 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 Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other
obligation is 

  
 124 








 
in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. 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. For the avoidance of
doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(d) Any Lender may 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, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment
of a security interest; provided that 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) Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 11.04, and subject to Section 2.20(c), for so long as any of (i) ESAS or any
of its Affiliates (collectively, the “ESAS Lenders”), (ii) Cove Key or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Cove Key Lenders”) or (iii) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (including any of its Affiliates,
collectively, “JPM”) is a Lender, if Fairfax or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Fairfax Lenders”) agrees to assign all or a portion of its Loans or Commitments, or to sell any participation to a
Participant, in each case, to a Person that is not Fairfax or an Affiliate of Fairfax (such Person, a “Purchaser”), such Fairfax Lender (the “Assigning Fairfax Lender(s)”) agrees and acknowledges that it shall not
make such assignment or sell such participation unless (i) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the closing of such assignment or participation, as the case may be, the Purchaser has made a written offer to the ESAS Lenders, the Cove Key
Lenders and JPM to purchase all or a portion of the Loans and Commitments of, or to purchase participations from, as the case may be, the ESAS Lenders, the Cove Key Lenders and JPM, respectively, in a pro rata amount as such Loans and Commitments or
participations, as the case may be, being assigned or sold by the Assigning Fairfax Lender and (ii) if such offer is accepted by any ESAS Lender, the Cove Key Lenders and/or JPM within fifteen (15) days of its receipt of such offer, the
Purchaser enters into an assignment agreement or participation agreement, as the case may be, with the ESAS Lenders, the Cove Key Lenders and/or JPM, as applicable, substantially simultaneously with its entering into an assignment agreement or
participation agreement, as the case may be, with the Assigning Fairfax Lender. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that it shall grant any consent required by it under the
terms of this Agreement in order to effectuate the foregoing agreements. Any purported assignment made, and any participation sold, in violation of this Section 11.04 shall be null and void. 

Section 11.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties herein and in the
certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of
any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any
Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full 

  
 125 








 
force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is
outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 2.16, Section 2.17, Section 2.18 and Section 11.03 and Article X shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

Section 11.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; DIP Order Controlling. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts
(and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees
payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject
matter hereof. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN
ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. TO THE EXTENT THERE ARE ANY INCONSISTENCIES BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT AND THE DIP ORDERS, THE PROVISIONS OF THE DIP ORDERS SHALL GOVERN. Except as provided in Section 5.01,
this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties
hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic means
shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 Section 11.07. Severability. Any
provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 11.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its
Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at
any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of any Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or
not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section and Section 8.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights
of setoff) which such Lender may have.

AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 
 Section 11.11. Headings. Article and Section
headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

Section 11.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being

to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Credit Party and other information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including
league table providers, that serve the lending industry; provided that, in the case of information received from any Credit Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any

 128 








 Section 11.13. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the
maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan
hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the
operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest
thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit accounts (formerly Tex. Rev. Civ. Stat. Ann. Art. 5069,
Ch. 15)) shall not apply to this Agreement or to any Loan, nor shall this Agreement or any Loan be governed by or be subject to the provisions of such Chapter 346 in any manner whatsoever. 

Section 11.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Act. The Borrower shall, upon the request of
the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender reasonably requires to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and
anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act. 
 Section 11.15. Flood Insurance Regulation. Notwithstanding
any provision in any Mortgage to the contrary, in no event is any Building (as defined in the applicable Flood Insurance Regulation) or Manufactured (Mobile) Home (as defined in the applicable Flood Insurance Regulation) included in the definition
of “Mortgaged Properties” and no Building or Manufactured (Mobile) Home shall be encumbered by any such Mortgage. As used herein, “Flood Insurance Regulations” shall mean (i) the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 as now
or hereafter in effect or any successor statute thereto, (ii) the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 as now or hereafter in effect or any successor statue thereto, (iii) the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 (amending 42 USC
4001, et seq.), as the same may be amended or recodified from time to time, and (iv) the Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2004 and any regulations promulgated thereunder. 

Section 11.16. No Fiduciary Duty. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection
with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower and each other Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section 11.16, the “Lenders”) are arm’s-length commercial transactions
between the Borrower, each other Credit Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the 

  
 129 








 
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) each of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the
extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower and each other Credit Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents;
(ii) (A) the Administrative Agent, each other Agent and each Lender is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor,
agent or fiduciary for the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent, any other Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower, any other Credit
Party or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their
respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, the other Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent, any other Agent nor
any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates. The Lenders may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Credit Parties and their
respective Subsidiaries and their stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Credit Party, for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries, agrees that nothing in this Agreement or the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory,
fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and any Credit Party or its Subsidiaries, their stockholders or their affiliates, on the other. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of
the Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of
any transaction contemplated hereby. Each Credit Party, for itself and its Subsidiaries, agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Credit Party
or Subsidiary, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto. 
 Section 11.17. No Third Party
Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the agreement of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder are solely for the benefit the Borrower and the other Credit Parties, and no other Person (including, without limitation, any
Subsidiary of the Borrower, any obligor, contractor, subcontractor, supplier or materialman) shall have any rights, claims, remedies or privileges hereunder or under any other Loan Document against the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any
Issuing Bank or any Lender for any reason whatsoever. There are no third party beneficiaries except as specifically set forth in this Agreement. 

Section 11.18. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions .
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan
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: 

  
 130 








 (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any
such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA 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 EEA 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 
 (iii) the variation of the terms of
such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
