Facility and Commitments.


 


(a)        Subject
to, and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees to make Loans to the Borrower,
which Loans (i) shall be made to the Borrower from time to time on and after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date and prior to
the Maturity Date, (ii) may, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans or SOFR
Loans, (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof at any time prior to the Maturity Date, (iv) shall
not, for any Lender at any time, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result in such Lender’s
Total Exposure at such time exceeding such Lender’s Commitment Percentage at such time of the Loan Limit and (v) shall not,
after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result in the Total Outstandings at such time exceeding the
Loan Limit. The Obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall be evidenced by this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, no Loan shall be required to be made hereunder if any Default or Event of Default (as hereinafter
defined) has occurred and is continuing. The aggregate principal amount of each Advance of Loans shall be at least $500,000 or any whole
multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (except for any such Advance in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance
of the Loan Limit and except for Loans to reimburse the Issuing Bank with respect to any Unpaid Drawing which shall be made in the amounts
required by Sections 3.3 or 3.4, as applicable), and in each case shall consist of Loans of the same Type made on the same
day by each Lender ratably according to its Commitment Percentage.


 






    46


     


    

 


(b)        Whenever
the Borrower desires an Advance of a Loan (other than Loans used to reimburse Unpaid Drawings), it shall give the Administrative Agent
telegraphic, telex, facsimile or telephone notice of such requested Advance in the form of a Notice of Borrowing, which in the case of
telephonic notice, shall be promptly confirmed in writing. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A
attached hereto and shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than noon (New York, New York time) (i) on the Borrowing
Date in the case of an ABR Loan or (ii) three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to any proposed Borrowing Date
in the case of SOFR Loans. Each Notice of Borrowing shall specify (i) the Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day and in the
case of a SOFR Loan, a U.S. Government Securities Business Day), (ii) the principal amount to be borrowed, (iii) the portion
of such Advance constituting ABR Loans and/or SOFR Loans, (iv) if any portion of the proposed Advance is to constitute SOFR Loans,
the Interest Period applicable thereto (if no Interest Period is selected, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period
of one month) and (v) the Cash Balance (without regard to the requested Advance) as of the close of business on the date of the Notice
of Borrowing and the reasonably estimated pro forma Cash Balance on the close of business on the Borrowing Date (giving effect to the
requested Advance). Each Notice of Borrowing shall constitute a representation by the Borrower that (a) the amount of the requested
Advances shall not cause the Total Outstandings to exceed the Available Commitment (after giving effect to the making of such Loans) and
(b) as of the end of the third Business Day on which such requested Advances will be funded, after giving pro forma effect to the
requested Advances, the Credit Parties shall not have any Excess Cash. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any
liability to the Borrower in acting upon any Notice of Borrowing referred to above which the Administrative Agent or such Lender believes
in good faith to have been given by a duly authorized officer or other person authorized to borrow on behalf of the Borrower. Upon funding
of Advances by the Lenders under Section 2.3 below and such funds being made available to the Borrower in accordance with
this Agreement pursuant to any such Notice of Borrowing, the amount so funded and made available to the Borrower shall constitute a part
of the Obligations hereunder. Loans made to reimburse Unpaid Drawings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 3.4(a).


 






    47


     


    

 


(c)        Without
in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any notice it may give hereunder by telephone, the Administrative
Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative
Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower.


 


Section 2.2         Maximum
Number of Advances. More than one Advance may be incurred on any date; provided that at no time shall there be outstanding more
than) five (5) Advances of SOFR Loans under this Agreement.

later than 2:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender will make available
its Commitment Percentage of each Advance requested to be made on such date in the manner provided below; provided that on the Amendment
No. 3 Effective Date, such funds shall be made available by 10:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) or such earlier time as may
be agreed among the Lenders, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent for the purpose of consummating the Transactions. The Borrower
hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each Advance in immediately available funds by crediting
or wiring such proceeds to the deposit account of the Borrower identified in the most recent Notice of Borrowing delivered by the Borrower
to the Administrative Agent or as may be otherwise agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent from time to time.


 


(b)        Each
Lender shall make available all amounts it is to fund to the Borrower under any Advance in immediately available funds in Dollars to the
Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office, and the Administrative Agent will (except in the case of Advances to
repay Unpaid Drawings) make available to the Borrower the aggregate of such amounts. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified
by any Lender prior to the date of any such Advance (or, with respect to an ABR Loan, the date of such Borrowing prior to 1:00 p.m. (New
York, New York time)) that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Advance or Advances
to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent
on such Borrowing Date, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation
to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative
Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made available such amount to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled
to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative
Agent’s demand therefor the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such
corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower,
as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available
by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate
per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the Overnight Rate plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily
charged by the Administrative Agent or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then-applicable rate of interest or fees, calculated in
accordance with Section 2.7, for the respective Loans.


 






    48


     


    

 


(c)        Nothing
in this Section 2.3 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice
any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder (it being understood, however,
that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder).


 


Section 2.4         Repayment

Borrower agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Lenders on the Maturity Date, the then outstanding

(c)        The
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 13.6(b), and a subaccount
for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder,
the Type of each Loan made and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable
or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative
Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.


 


(d)        The
entries made in the Register and accounts and subaccounts maintained pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 2.4
shall, absent manifest error and to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative
Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect
the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.


 


(e)        Upon
the request of any Lender to Borrower made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through
the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence the obligation of the Borrower to repay to such Lender its Advances to Borrower
in addition to such records maintained by the Administrative Agent. Each Lender may attach schedules to a Note and endorse thereon the
date, Type, amount, currency and maturity of its Advances and payments with respect thereto, but such action or the failure to do so shall
not control over the records thereof maintained by the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.5         Conversions
and Continuations.


 


(a)        Subject
to the penultimate sentence of this clause (a), (i) the Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to convert all
or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of Loans of one Type into an Advance or Advances of another Type and (ii) the Borrower
shall have the option on any Business Day to continue the outstanding principal amount of any SOFR Loans as SOFR Loans for an additional
Interest Period; provided that (A) ABR Loans may not be converted into SOFR Loans if an Event of Default is in existence on the date
of the conversion and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit
such conversion, (B) SOFR Loans may not be continued as SOFR Loans for an additional Interest Period if an Event of Default is in
existence on the date of the proposed continuation and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Lenders have determined in its or
their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, and (C) Borrowings resulting from conversions pursuant to this Section 2.5
shall be limited in number as provided in Section 2.2. Each such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the Borrower
by giving the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) at least
(i) three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days’, in the case of a continuation of or conversion to SOFR Loans
or (ii) the date of conversion, in the case of a conversion into ABR Loans, prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed
in writing) (each, a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) specifying the Loans to be so converted or continued,
the Type of Loans to be converted into or continued and, if such Loans are to be converted into or continued as SOFR Loans, the Interest
Period to be initially applicable thereto (if no Interest Period is selected, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest
Period of one month). The Administrative Agent shall give each applicable Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed
conversion or continuation affecting any of its Loans.


 


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


 


 






    50


     


    

 





Section 2.6         Pro
Rata Borrowings. Each Borrowing under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their applicable Commitment
Percentages. It is understood that (a) no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make
Loans hereunder and that each Lender severally but not jointly shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder,
regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder and (b) failure by a Lender to perform any of
its obligations under any of the Credit Documents shall not release any Person from performance of its obligation under any Credit Document.



 


Section 2.7         Interest.


 


(a)        The
unpaid principal amount of each ABR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Advance thereof until maturity thereof (whether by acceleration
or otherwise) or conversion thereof to a SOFR Loan, at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Adjusted ABR Rate in effect from
time to time.


 


(b)        The
unpaid principal amount of each SOFR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Advance thereof until maturity thereof (whether by
acceleration or otherwise) or conversion thereof to an ABR Loan, at a rate per annum that shall at all times be Adjusted Term SOFR in
effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin.


 


(c)        If
(x) all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan or (ii) any interest payable thereon shall not be paid when
due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such overdue
amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is (the “Default Rate”) (A) in the case of overdue principal,
the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2% or (B) in the case of any overdue interest, to the extent permitted by
applicable Requirements of Law, the rate described in Section 2.7(a) plus 2%, in each case from the date of such non-payment
to the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).


 


(d)        Interest
on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date of any Advance to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable
in Dollars; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same date on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. Except as provided
below, interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each ABR Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June,
September and December (ii) in respect of each SOFR Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and,
in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three-month intervals after the first day of such
Interest Period, (iii) in respect of each Loan, (A) on any prepayment (on the amount prepaid), (B) at maturity (whether
by acceleration or otherwise) and (C) after such maturity, on demand.


 


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


 


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


 






    51


     


    

 


(g)        In
the event of any conversion of any SOFR Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Borrowing shall
be payable on the effective date of such conversion.


 


(h)        Interest
Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, (or in the case of interest computed by
reference to the ABR at times when the ABR is based on the Base Rate, such interest 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). All interest hereunder on any Loan shall be computed on a daily basis based upon the outstanding principal amount of such
Loan as of the applicable date of determination. The applicable ABR or Adjusted Term SOFR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent,
and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


 


(i)         Term
SOFR Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent (in consultation with
the Borrower) will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or
in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or
consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower
and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.


 


Section 2.8         Interest
Periods. At the time the Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation in respect of the making
of, or conversion into or continuation as, an Advance of SOFR Loans in accordance with Section 2.1(b) or 2.5(a),
the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of the Interest Period
applicable to such Borrowing.


 


Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained above:


 


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


 


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


 


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


 






    52


     


    

 


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


 


Section 2.9         Increased
Costs, Illegality, Benchmark Replacement Setting, Etc.


 


(a)        Inability
to Determine Rates. Subject to Section 2.9(d), if on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any SOFR Loan:


 


     (i)            the
Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term
SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or


 


     (ii)           the
Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation
thereof that Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination
to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.


 


Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent
to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert
ABR Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative
Agent (with respect to clause (b), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the
Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected
SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request
for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be
deemed to have been converted into ABR Loans immediately. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the
amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.10. If the Administrative Agent determines
(which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined
pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on ABR Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without
reference to clause (c) of the definition of “ABR” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination.


 


(b)        [Reserved]


 


(c)        If,
after the Effective Date, any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements of any Lender or compliance by any
Lender or its parent with any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements occurring after the Effective Date
has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent’s capital or assets as a consequence
of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent could have achieved
but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy
or liquidity requirements), then from time to time, promptly (but in any event no later than fifteen (15) days) after written demand by
such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or its parent for such reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that a Lender shall not be entitled
to such compensation as a result of such Lender’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any applicable
Requirement of Law as in effect on the Effective Date. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be
payable pursuant to this Section 2.9(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth
in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not,
subject to Section 2.12, release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.9(c) upon
receipt of such notice.


 






    53


     


    

 


(d)        Benchmark
Replacement Setting


 


    (i)             Benchmark
Replacement.


 


     (1)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date
have occurred prior any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with
clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement
will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent
Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document
and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”
for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit
Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day
after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent
of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time,
written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. If the Benchmark Replacement is
Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.


 


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


 






    54


     


    

 


     (3)            Notices;
Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the
implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration,
adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement
of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.9(d) and the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any
determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant
to this Section 2.9(d), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence
of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and
binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement
or any other Credit Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.9(d).


 


     (4)            Unavailability
of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, at any time (including in connection
with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference
Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate
from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark
or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing
that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest
Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or
non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed
on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to
an announcement that it is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest
Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed
tenor.


 


     (5)            Benchmark
Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower
may revoke any pending request for a SOFR Advance of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during
any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for
a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans and any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into ABR Loans
immediately. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor,
the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination
of ABR.


 



    55


     


    

 


     (6)            Illegality.
If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any
Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain, or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR
Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate,
Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent), (a) any
obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert ABR Loans to SOFR Loans,
shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be
determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “ABR”, in each case until
such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.
Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such
Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of
the definition of “ABR”), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue
to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day,
and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rate, the Administrative Agent shall
during the period of such suspension compute the ABR without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “ABR,” in each
case until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by each affected Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine
or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion,
the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant
to Section 2.10.


 


Section 2.10       Compensation
for Losses. Except as set forth in Section 2.9, in the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any SOFR
Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the
conversion of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of
Default) or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant
hereto, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for any loss, cost and expense actually incurred by each such
Lender attributable to such event, including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds (but excluding
loss of anticipated profits). A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive
pursuant to this Section and the basis of the calculation of such amount in reasonable detail shall be delivered to the Borrower
and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within
15 days after receipt thereof.


 


Section 2.11       Change
of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.9(c),
2.9(d)(i)(v), 3.5 or 5.4 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower use reasonable efforts
(subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event; provided
that such designation does not cause such Lender or its lending office to suffer any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with
the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.11
shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Section 2.9, 3.5
or 5.4.


 






    56


     


    

 


Section 2.12       Notice
of Certain Costs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any notice required by Section 2.9,
2.10, 3.5 or 5.4 is given by any Lender more than 180 days after such Lender has knowledge (or should have had knowledge) of
the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional amounts described
in such Sections, such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under Section 2.9, 2.10, 3.5 or 5.4, as the case
may be, for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the 181st day prior to the giving of such notice to the Borrower; provided
that if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include
the period of retroactive effect thereof.


 


Section 2.13       The
Borrowing Base. At the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, the Borrowing Base shall be $300,000,000. The Borrowing Base may be
adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 hereof.


 


Section 2.14       Scheduled
Determinations of Borrowing Base. Subsequent determinations of the Borrowing Base shall be made by Lenders semi-annually effective
on or about May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning May 1, 2021, or such earlier date requested by the Borrower (each
a “Redetermination Date”) or as Unscheduled Redeterminations, each based on an engineering report (each a “Reserve
Report”) delivered to the Administrative Agent in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and
prepared with respect to the reserve report for the May 1 redetermination, by an Approved Petroleum Engineer, and prepared with respect
to the November 1 redetermination, by the Borrower (or by such Approved Petroleum Engineer), said Reserve Reports (i) to utilize
economic, price deck and other pricing parameters used by the Administrative Agent in good faith in accordance with its usual and customary
oil and gas lending criteria as it exists at the particular time, together with such other information, reports and data concerning the
value of the Borrowing Base Properties as the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall deem reasonably necessary to determine the value
of such Borrowing Base Properties. Borrower shall deliver the Reserve Report to the Administrative Agent (i) on or about (but not
after) April 1 of each year, beginning April 1, 2021, for the May 1 Redetermination Date, (ii) on or about (but not
after) October 1 of each year, beginning October 1, 2021, for the November 1 Redetermination Date and (iii) within
forty-five (45) days after either (a) receipt of notice that Required Lenders require an Unscheduled Redetermination, or (b) Borrower
gives notice to the Administrative Agent that the Borrower wishes to have an Unscheduled Redetermination performed. The Reserve Report
prepared for the May 1 Redetermination Date shall be dated effective as of February 1 of each year and the Reserve Report prepared
for the November 1 Redetermination Date shall be dated effective as of August 1 of each year. Upon receipt of each such Reserve
Report, the Lenders shall make a Redetermination of the Borrowing Base in accordance with standard practices at the time for reserve based
loans. It is expressly understood that the Lenders have no obligation to designate the Borrowing Base at any particular amount, except
in the exercise of their discretion, whether in relation to the Commitment or otherwise.


 






    57


     


    

 


Section 2.15       Unscheduled
Redeterminations of the Borrowing Base. Within thirty (30) days after either (i) receipt of notice from the Administrative
Agent that the Required Lenders require an Unscheduled Redetermination, or (ii) the Borrower gives notice to the Administrative Agent
of its desire to have an Unscheduled Redetermination performed, in each case the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent a
Reserve Report prepared by petroleum engineers employed by the Borrower (or by an Approved Petroleum Engineer) in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, said engineering report to utilize economic, price deck and other pricing parameters used by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender as established from time to time, together with such other information, reports and data concerning
the value of the Borrowing Base Properties. The Administrative Agent shall by written notice to the Borrower within a reasonable time
after the provision of all such information, reports and data (the date of such notice being herein called the “Determination
Date”) notify the Borrower of the designation of the new Borrowing Base for the period beginning on such Determination Date
and continuing until, but not including, the next Redetermination Date or Determination Date. If the Borrower does not furnish all such
information, reports and data by any date specified in this Section 2.15, unless such failure is of no fault of the Borrower,
the Lenders nonetheless shall designate the Borrowing Base at any amount which the Lenders in their sole discretion determine and redesignate
the Borrowing Base from time to time thereafter until the Administrative Agent receives all such information, reports and data, whereupon
the Lenders shall designate a new Borrowing Base, as described above. In addition to, and not including and/or limited by the Unscheduled
Redeterminations allowed above, the Borrower may, by notifying the Administrative Agent thereof, at any time between Scheduled Redeterminations,
request additional Redeterminations of the Borrowing Base in the event the Borrower or any other Credit Party acquires in one or more
transactions Oil and Gas Properties with PDP Reserves that are to be Borrowing Base Properties having, in the aggregate, a PV-9 (calculated
at the time of such acquisitions) in excess of 20% of the Borrowing Base in effect immediately prior to such acquisitions.


 


Section 2.16       Procedure.
The procedure for determining the Borrowing Base at each redetermination shall be that the Administrative Agent shall determine the Borrowing
Base and submit the same to the Lenders. Increases in the Borrowing Base will require approval of all the Lenders, but other reaffirmations
or changes in the Borrowing Base will be subject to the approval of Required Lenders. The Lenders (in the case of a proposed increase
to the Borrowing Base) or Required Lenders (in the case of a proposed reaffirmation or reduction to the Borrowing Base) shall approve
or reject the Administrative Agent’s initial determination of the proposed Borrowing Base by written notice to the Administrative
Agent on or about fifteen (15) days after the Administrative Agent’s notification of its initial determination; provided, however
that, the failure by any Lender to confirm or reject in writing the Administrative Agent’s determination of the proposed Borrowing
Base within such period shall be deemed an approval of the such proposed Borrowing Base by such Lender. If Lenders (in the case of a proposed
increase to the Borrowing Base) or Required Lenders (in the case of a proposed reaffirmation or reduction to the Borrowing Base) fail
to approve any such proposed Borrowing Base determined by the Administrative Agent hereunder in such period, then the Administrative Agent
shall poll the Lenders to ascertain the highest proposed Borrowing Base then acceptable to Lenders (in the case of a proposed increase
to the Borrowing Base) or Required Lenders (in the case of a proposed reaffirmation or reduction to the Borrowing Base) for purposes of
this Section 2.16, such amounts shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective on the date specified in this Section 2.16.
Until such approval or deemed approval, the Borrowing Base in effect before the proposed Borrowing Base shall remain in effect. Upon agreement
by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (in the case of a proposed increase to the Borrowing Base) or Required Lenders (in the case
of a proposed reaffirmation or reduction to the Borrowing Base) of the new Borrowing Base, the Administrative Agent shall, by written
notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, designate the new Borrowing Base available to the Borrower. Such designation shall be effective
as of the Business Day specified in such written notice (or, if no effective date is specified in such written notice, the next Business
Day following delivery of such written notice) and such new Borrowing Base shall remain in effect until the next determination or redetermination
of the Borrowing Base in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 2.17       Reduction
of Borrowing Base upon Sale of Borrowing Base Properties or Equity Interests in Restricted Subsidiaries, Hedge Terminations and Issuance
of Permitted Additional Debt.


 


(a)        Sale
of Borrowing Base Properties. If (i) the Borrower or a Credit Party Disposes of Borrowing Base Properties included in the most
recently delivered Reserve Report or Disposes of any Equity Interests in any Restricted Subsidiary owning any Borrowing Base Properties
included in the most recently delivered Reserve Report or if the Borrower or a Credit Party effects any Hedge Termination and (ii) the
aggregate value attributed in the most recent Reserve Report to all such Borrowing Base Properties Disposed of, when combined with the
aggregate Borrowing Base value (as determined by the Administrative Agent) of all such Hedge Transactions subject of Hedge Terminations,
in each case since the latest of (A) the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, (B) the most recent scheduled Redetermination
Date or Determination Date and (C) the last adjustment of the Borrowing Base made pursuant to this Section 2.17(a), exceeds
five percent (5%) of the then-effective Borrowing Base, individually or in the aggregate, then the Required Lenders shall have the right
to adjust the Borrowing Base in an amount equal to the Borrowing Base value, if any, attributable to (i) such Disposed of Borrowing
Base Properties and (ii) such Hedge Transactions subject of Hedge Terminations in the calculation of the then-effective Borrowing
Base and, if the Required Lenders in fact make any such adjustment, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing
of the Borrowing Base value, if any, attributable to such Disposed of Borrowing Base Properties in the calculation of the then-effective
Borrowing Base and upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowing Base shall be simultaneously reduced by such amount;


 


(b)       [Reserved];
and


 


(c)        Reduction
of Borrowing Base Upon Issuance of Permitted Additional Debt. Upon the issuance or incurrence of any Permitted Additional Debt (other
than any Permitted Additional Debt to the extent the proceeds thereof are used to refinance any other Permitted Additional Debt) in accordance
with Section 10.7(g), the Borrowing Base then in effect shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of 0.25 multiplied
by the stated principal amount of such Permitted Additional Debt (without regard to any original issue discount), and the Borrowing Base
as so reduced shall become the new Borrowing Base immediately upon the date of such issuance or incurrence, effective and applicable to
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders on such date until the next redetermination or modification thereof
hereunder.


 






    59


     


    

 


Section 2.18        Defaulting
Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the
following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:


 


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


 


(b)        The
Commitment and Total Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Majority Lenders
have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 13.1); provided
that (i) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 13.1 (other than
Section 13.1(a)(J)) or requiring the consent of each affected Lender pursuant to Section 13.1(a)(A) shall
require the consent of such Defaulting Lender (which for the avoidance of doubt would include any change to the Maturity Date applicable
to such Defaulting Lender, decreasing or forgiving any principal or interest due to such Defaulting Lender, any decrease of any interest
rate applicable to Loans made by such Defaulting Lender (other than the waiving of post-default interest rates) and any increase in such
Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) and (ii) any redetermination, whether an increase, decrease or affirmation, of the Borrowing
Base shall occur without the participation of a Defaulting Lender, but the Commitment (i.e., the Commitment Percentage of the Borrowing
Base) of a Defaulting Lender may not be increased without the consent of such Defaulting Lender;


 


(c)        If
any Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then all or any part of such Letter of Credit Exposure
of such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day
such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages;
provided that (i) each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Total Exposure may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting
Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (ii) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender
pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or any other
Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender, to the extent that all or
any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure cannot, or can only partially,
be so reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders, whether by reason of the first proviso in Section 2.18(c)(i) or otherwise,
the Borrower shall within two Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the applicable
Issuing Bank only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving
effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above), in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.8
for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding, if the Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s
Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.18(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting
Lender pursuant to Section 4.1(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the
period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is Cash Collateralized, if the Letter of Credit Exposure of the Non-Defaulting
Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.18(c), then the Letter of Credit Fees payable for the account of the Lenders
pursuant to Section 4.1(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitment Percentages
and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any Letter of Credit Fees to the Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.1(b) with
respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period that such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit
Exposure is reallocated, or if any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither Cash Collateralized nor reallocated
pursuant to this Section 2.18(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder,
all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 4.1(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit
Exposure shall be payable to such Issuing Bank until such Letter of Credit Exposure is Cash Collateralized and/or reallocated;


 






    60


     


    

 



 


(d)            So
long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank will be required to issue any new Letter of Credit or amend any outstanding
Letter of Credit to increase the Face Amount thereof, alter the drawing terms thereunder or extend the expiration date thereof, unless
each Issuing Bank is reasonably satisfied that any exposure that would result from the exposure to such Defaulting Lender is eliminated
or fully covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders or by Cash Collateralization or a combination thereof in accordance
with clause (c) above or otherwise in a manner reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank, 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 2.18(c)(i) (and
Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein);


 


(e)            If
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender
should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon, as of the
effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender
and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender and any applicable Cash Collateral shall be promptly returned to the Borrower and any Letter of Credit
Exposure of such Lender reallocated pursuant to Section 2.18(c) shall be reallocated back to such Lender; provided that,
except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting
Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting
Lender; and


 


(f)            Any
payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether
voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article XI or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be
determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative
Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to each Issuing Bank hereunder;
third, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which
that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent;
fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released
in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing
to the Lenders and each Issuing Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, such Issuing
Bank against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth,
so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s
breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent
jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Unpaid Drawings, such payment shall be
applied solely to pay the relevant Loans of, and Unpaid Drawings owed to, the relevant non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior
to being applied in the manner set forth in this Section 2.18(f). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable
to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 3.8
shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

Article III

LETTERS OF CREDIT


 


Section 3.1     Letters
of Credit.


 


(a)            Subject
to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, at any time and from time to time on and after the Effective Date and prior to
the L/C Maturity Date, each Issuing Bank agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 3.1,
to issue upon the request of the Borrower and for the direct or indirect benefit of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries, a Letter
of Credit or Letters of Credit in such form and with such Issuer Documents as may be approved by the applicable Issuing Bank in its reasonable
discretion.


 


(b)            Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letters of Credit outstanding
at such time, would exceed the (a) L/C Sublimit then in effect, or (b) with respect to any Issuing Bank would cause the Stated
Amount of such Issuing Bank’s outstanding Letters of Credit at such time to exceed such Issuing Bank’s L/C Sublimit unless
such Issuing Bank shall otherwise agree, (ii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which would cause the Total
Outstandings at such time to exceed the Borrowing Base then in effect, (iii) each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date
occurring no later than twelve (12) months after the date of issuance or such longer period of time as may be agreed by the applicable
Issuing Bank, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank or as provided under Section 3.2(b);
provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for automatic renewal thereof for additional periods of up to twelve (12) months or such
longer period of time as may be agreed upon by the applicable Issuing Bank, subject to the provisions of Section 3.2(b); provided,
further, that in no event shall such expiration date occur later than the L/C Maturity Date unless arrangements which are reasonably satisfactory
to the applicable Issuing Bank to Cash Collateralize (or backstop) such Letter of Credit have been made, (iv) no Letter of Credit
shall be issued if (A) it would be illegal under any applicable Requirement of Law for the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit to
have a Letter of Credit issued in its favor, (B) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall
by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to
the Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction
over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the
Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon Issuing Bank with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital
requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon
Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which, in each case, the Issuing
Bank in good faith deems material to it or (C) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing
Bank applicable to letters of credit generally as certified to the Borrower in writing by such Issuing Bank and (v) no Letter of
Credit shall be issued by an Issuing Bank after it has received a written notice from any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent or
the Majority Lenders stating that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing until such time as such Issuing Bank shall
have received a written notice (A) of rescission of such notice from the party or parties originally delivering such notice, (B) of
the waiver of such Default or Event of Default in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1 or (C) that such Default
or Event of Default is no longer continuing.


 






    62 


     


    

 


(c)            Upon
at least one Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent
and the applicable Issuing Bank (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the applicable Lenders), the
Borrower shall have the right, on any day, permanently to terminate or reduce the L/C Sublimit in whole or in part; provided that, after
giving effect to such termination or reduction, the outstanding Reimbursement Obligations shall not exceed the L/C Sublimit.


 


Section 3.2     Letter
of Credit Applications.


 


(a)            Whenever
the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued, amended or renewed for its account, the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy
(or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable
Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent a Letter of Credit Application, amendment request or any such document as may be approved by
the applicable Issuing Bank. Upon receipt of any Letter of Credit Application or amendment request, the applicable Issuing Bank will use
its best efforts to process such Letter of Credit Application on (i) the Business Day on which such Letter of Credit Application
is received, provided that such Letter of Credit Application is received no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on such
Business Day, or (ii) otherwise, the first Business Day next succeeding receipt of such Letter of Credit Application. No Issuing
Bank shall issue any Letters of Credit unless such Issuing Bank shall have received notice from the Administrative Agent that the conditions
to such issuance have been met, which notice shall be deemed given (A) if the Letter of Credit Issuer has not received notice from
the Administrative Agent that the conditions to such issuance have been met within one Business Day after the date of receipt of the Letter
of Credit Application or (B) if the aggregate amount of Letters of Credit Outstanding issued by such Issuing Bank then outstanding
does not exceed the amount theretofore agreed to by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, and the Administrative
Agent has not otherwise notified such Issuing Bank that it may no longer rely on subclauses (A) or (B).


 






    63 


     


    

 


(b)            If
the Borrower so requests in any Letter of Credit Application, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue
a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided
that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each 12-month
period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than
a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such 12-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit
is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing
Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but
may not require) the Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the L/C
Maturity Date unless arrangements which are reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank to Cash Collateralize (or satisfactory to the
Issuing Bank in its sole discretion to otherwise backstop) such Letter of Credit have been made (but no Lenders shall be obligated to
fund participations in respect of any Letter of Credit after the Maturity Date); provided, however, that the Issuing Bank
shall not permit any such extension if (i) the Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation,
at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause
(b) of Section 3.1 or otherwise), or (ii) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on
or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (A) from the Administrative Agent that
the Majority Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that
one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 7 are not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the
Issuing Bank not to permit such extension.


 


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


 






    64 


     


    

 


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


 


Section 3.3     Letter
of Credit Participations.


 


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


 


(b)            In
determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Bank shall have no obligation relative to the L/C Participants
other than to confirm that


 


(i)            any
documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered,


 


(ii)            such
Issuing Bank has examined the documents with reasonable care and


 


(iii)            the
documents appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the
relevant Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct, shall not create for such Issuing Bank any resulting liability.


 


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


 






    65 


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


(i)             any
lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents;


 


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


 






    66 


     


    

 


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


 


(iv)           the
surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or


 


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


 


provided, however,
that no L/C Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Issuing Bank its Commitment Percentage
of any unreimbursed amount arising from any wrongful payment made by such Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or
omissions constituting willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of such Issuing Bank.


 


Section 3.4     Agreement
to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings.


 


(a)            The
Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank by making payment in Dollars to such Issuing Bank or to the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank (whether with its own funds or with proceeds of the Loans) in immediately available funds,
for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount so paid until reimbursed,
an “Unpaid Drawing”) (i) within one Business Day of the date of such payment or disbursement if such Issuing Bank
provides notice to the Borrower of such payment or disbursement prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on such next succeeding
Business Day (from the date of such payment or disbursement) or (ii) if such notice is received after such time, on the next Business
Day following the date of receipt of such notice (such required date for reimbursement under clause (i) or (ii), as applicable, the
 “Reimbursement Date”), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Bank, from and including the
date of such payment or disbursement to but excluding the Reimbursement Date, at the per annum rate for each day equal to the rate described
in Section 2.7(a); provided that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any
Letter of Credit, (A) unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank prior to 11:00 a.m. (New
York, New York time) on the Reimbursement Date that the Borrower intends to reimburse such Issuing Bank for the amount of such drawing
with funds other than the proceeds of Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a Notice of Borrowing requesting that the Lenders
make Loans (which shall be ABR Loans) on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing, and (B) the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each L/C Participant of such drawing and the amount of its Loan to be made in respect thereof, and each L/C
Participant shall be irrevocably obligated to make a Loan to the Borrower in the manner deemed to have been requested in the amount of
its Commitment Percentage of the applicable Unpaid Drawing by 12:00 noon (New York, New York time) on such Reimbursement Date by making
the amount of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent. Such Loans made in respect of such Unpaid Drawing on such Reimbursement
Date shall be made without regard to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VII. The Administrative Agent
shall use the proceeds of such Loans solely for purpose of reimbursing the relevant Issuing Bank for the related Unpaid Drawing. In the
event that the Borrower fails to Cash Collateralize any Letter of Credit that is outstanding on the L/C Maturity Date, the full amount
of the Letters of Credit Outstanding in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an Unpaid Drawing subject to the provisions
of this Section 3.4 except that such Issuing Bank shall hold the proceeds received from the Lenders as contemplated above
as cash collateral for such Letter of Credit to reimburse any Drawing under such Letter of Credit and shall use such proceeds first, to
reimburse itself for any Drawings made in respect of such Letter of Credit following the L/C Maturity Date, second, to the extent such
Letter of Credit expires or is returned undrawn while any such cash collateral remains, to the repayment of obligations in respect of
any Loans that have not paid at such time and third, to the Borrower or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing
in this Section 3.4(a) shall affect the Borrower’s obligation to repay all outstanding Loans when due in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.


 






    67 


     


    

 


(b)            The
obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3.4 to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank with respect to Unpaid Drawings
(including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances and irrespective
of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower or any other Person may have or have had against such Issuing Bank,
the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including in its capacity as an L/C Participant), including any defense based upon (i) the
failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit (each a “Drawing”) to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit,
(ii) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing, (iii) any lack of validity or
enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (iv) 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 or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but
for the provisions of this Section 3.4(b), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against,
the Borrower’s obligations hereunder; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the relevant Issuing Bank from
liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive 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 such 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 Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Bank under or in
connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct
(as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of
such Issuing Bank to the Borrower; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such Issuing Bank from liability to the
Borrower to the extent of any direct damages suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such 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. In furtherance
of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in compliance with
the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit may in its sole discretion either accept or 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
(unless the Borrower shall consent to payment thereon notwithstanding such lack of strict compliance).

Section 3.5     Increased
Costs. If, after the Effective Date, the adoption of any Change in Law shall either (a) impose, modify or make applicable
any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank, or any L/C Participant’s
L/C Participation therein, or (b) impose on any Issuing Bank or any L/C Participant any other conditions, costs or expenses affecting
its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Letters of Credit or L/C Participations therein or any Letter of Credit or such L/C
Participant’s L/C Participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Issuing Bank or
such L/C Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Issuing Bank or such L/C Participant hereunder (other than (i) Taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.4,
or (ii) Excluded Taxes) in respect of Letters of Credit or L/C Participations therein, then, promptly (and in any event no later
than 15 days) after receipt of written demand to the Borrower by such Issuing Bank or such L/C Participant, as the case may be (a copy
of which notice shall be sent by such Issuing Bank or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such
Issuing Bank or such L/C Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Issuing Bank or such L/C Participant for
such increased cost or reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that no Issuing Bank or L/C Participant shall be entitled to
such compensation as a result of such Person’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any such
Requirement of Law as in effect on the Effective Date. A certificate submitted to the Borrower by the relevant Issuing Bank or an L/C
Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Bank or such L/C Participant to the Administrative
Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate
such Issuing Bank or such L/C Participant as aforesaid shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error.


 


Section 3.6     New
or Successor Issuing Bank.


 


(a)            Any
Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
and the Borrower; provided that no Issuing Bank may resign without the prior consent of the Borrower so long as such Issuing Bank (or
one of its Affiliates) is also a Lender hereunder. The Borrower may replace any Issuing Bank for any reason upon written notice to such
Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent and may add Issuing Banks at any time upon notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent.
If an Issuing Bank shall resign or be replaced, or if the Borrower shall decide to add a new Issuing Bank under this Agreement, then the
Borrower may appoint from among the Lenders a successor issuer of Letters of Credit or a new Issuing Bank, as the case may be, or, with
the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) and such new Issuing Bank, another successor or
new issuer of Letters of Credit, whereupon such successor issuer shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the replaced or resigning
Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, or such new issuer of Letters of Credit shall be granted the rights,
powers and duties of an Issuing Bank hereunder, and the term “Issuing Bank” shall mean such successor or such new issuer
of Letters of Credit effective upon such appointment. The acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder, whether as a successor
issuer or new issuer of Letters of Credit in accordance with this Agreement, shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such new
or successor issuer of Letters of Credit, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, from and
after the effective date of such agreement, such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall become an “Issuing Bank”
hereunder. After the resignation or replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the resigning or 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 and the other Credit Documents
with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional
Letters of Credit. In connection with any resignation or replacement pursuant to this clause (a) (but, in case of any such resignation,
only to the extent that a successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall have been appointed), either


 






    69 


     


    

 


(i)            the
Borrower, the resigning or replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank shall arrange to have any outstanding Letters of Credit
issued by the resigning or replaced Issuing Bank replaced with Letters of Credit issued by the successor Issuing Bank or


 


(ii)            the
Borrower shall cause the successor Issuing Bank, if such successor issuer is reasonably satisfactory to the replaced or resigning Issuing
Bank, to issue “back-stop” Letters of Credit naming the resigning or replaced Issuing Bank as beneficiary for each outstanding
Letter of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Issuing Bank, which new Letters of Credit shall have a Stated Amount equal to the
Letters of Credit being back-stopped and the sole requirement for drawing on such new Letters of Credit shall be a drawing on the corresponding
back-stopped Letters of Credit. After any resigning or replaced Issuing Bank’s resignation or replacement as Issuing Bank, the provisions
of this Agreement relating to an Issuing Bank shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it (A) while
it was an Issuing Bank under this Agreement or (B) at any time with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.


 


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


 






    70 


     


    

 


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


 


Section 3.8     Cash
Collateral.


 


(a)            
Upon the request of the Majority Lenders if, as of the L/C Maturity Date, there are any Letters
of Credit outstanding, the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then Letters of Credit outstanding.


 


(b)            
If
any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Majority Lenders may require that the L/C Obligations be Cash Collateralized;
provided that, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default referred to in Section 11.5 with respect to the Borrower, the Borrower
shall immediately Cash Collateralize the Letters of Credit then outstanding and no notice or request by or consent from the Majority Lenders
shall be required.


 


(c)            
For
purposes of this Agreement, “Cash Collateralize” shall mean (i) to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances in
an amount equal to the amount of the Letters of Credit outstanding required to be Cash Collateralized (the “Required Cash Collateral
Amount”) or (ii) if the relevant Issuing Bank benefiting from such collateral shall agree in its reasonable discretion,
to provide other forms of credit support (including any backstop letter of credit) in a face amount equal to 103% of the Required Cash
Collateral Amount from an issuer reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank, in each case under clause (i) and (ii) above
pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the relevant Issuing Bank (which
documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing
Banks and the L/C Participants, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the
foregoing. Such cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts established by and in the name of the
Borrower, but under the “control” (as defined in Section 9-104 of the UCC) of the Administrative Agent.


 






    71 


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


Article IV


FEES; COMMITMENTS


 


Section 4.1     Fees.


 


(a)            The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the account of each Lender (in each case pro rata according to the
respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders), a commitment fee (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) for each day from
the Effective Date until but excluding the Maturity Date. Each Unused Commitment Fee shall be payable by the Borrower (i) quarterly
in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (for the three-month period (or portion thereof)
ended on such day for which no payment has been received) and (ii) on the Maturity Date (for the period ended on such date for which
no payment has been received pursuant to clause (i) above), and shall be computed for each day during such period at a rate per annum
equal to the Unused Commitment Fee Rate in effect on such day on the Available Commitment in effect on such day.


 


(b)            The
Borrower agrees to pay to (i) each Issuing Bank a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it (the “Fronting Fee”),
for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to the termination or expiration date of such Letter of Credit, computed
at the rate for each day equal to 0.20% per annum (or such other amount as may be agreed in a separate writing between the Borrower and
the relevant Issuing Bank) on the average daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit (or at such other rate per annum as agreed in writing
between the Borrower and the relevant Issuing Bank) and (ii) the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a fee equal
to the Applicable Margin for a SOFR Loan then in effect (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) on such Lender’s Letter
of Credit Exposure. Such Fronting Fees and Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable by the Borrower (i) quarterly in arrears
on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and (ii) on the Termination Date (for the period for
which no payment has been received pursuant to clause (i) above).


 






    72 


     


    

 


(c)            The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its account and on behalf of the Lenders, as applicable, the administrative agent
fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in writing in a fee letter between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.


 


Section 4.2     Voluntary
Reduction of Commitment Amount.


 


(a)            Upon
at least two Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent
at the Administrative Agent’s Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the
Borrower shall have the right, without premium or penalty, on any day, permanently to terminate or reduce the Total Commitment, as determined
by the Borrower, in whole or in part; provided that (i) any such termination or reduction shall apply proportionately and permanently
to reduce the Commitment of each Lender, (ii) any partial reduction pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be in the amount
of at least $500,000 (and increments of $100,000 above that minimum) and (iii) after giving effect to such termination or reduction
and to any prepayments of Loans or cancellation or Cash Collateralization of Letters of Credit made on the date thereof in accordance
with this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Loan Limit.


 


(b)            The
Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than two (2) Business Days’
prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.18(f) will
apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account
of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts), provided that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release
of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.


 


Section 4.3     Mandatory
Termination of Commitments. The Total Commitment shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the Maturity Date.
If at any time the Total Commitment or the Borrowing Base is terminated or reduced to zero, then each Lender’s Commitment shall
terminate on the effective date of such termination or reduction.


 


Section 4.4     Increases,
Reductions and Terminations of Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount.


 


(a)            Subject
to the conditions set forth in Section 4.4(b), the Borrower may increase the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount then in effect
by increasing the Elected Commitment of one or more existing Lenders (each such Lender, an “Increasing Lender”) and/or by
causing one or more Persons reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (it being agreed that any Affiliate of a Lender shall be
deemed acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and that at such time are not Lenders to become a Lender (each such Person that is not
at such time a Lender and becomes a Lender, an “Additional Lender”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, in no case shall an Additional Lender be the Borrower, an Affiliate of the Borrower or a natural person.


 






    73 


     


    

 


(b)            Any
increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be subject to the following additional conditions:


 


(i)              no
increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be permitted if immediately after giving effect thereto the Aggregate Elected
Commitment Amount exceeds the lesser of (I) the Borrowing Base then in effect and (II) the Maximum Facility Amount;


 


(ii)             the
Borrower may not increase the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount more than once between any two redeterminations of the Borrowing Base
unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (for the sake of clarity, all increases in the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount
effective on a single date shall be deemed a single increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount for purposes of this Section 4.4(b)(ii)),
whether a Scheduled Redetermination or an Unscheduled Redetermination;


 


(iii)            no
Lender’s Elected Commitment may be increased without the consent of such Lender;


 


(iv)           subject
to Section 4.4(b)(iii), if the Borrower elects to increase the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount by increasing the Elected Commitment
of one or more Lenders, the Borrower and each such Increasing Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 (an “Elected Commitment Increase Certificate”) and the Borrower
shall pay any applicable fees as may have been agreed to between the Borrower, such Increasing Lender and/or the Administrative Agent;
and


 


(v)            if
the Borrower elects to increase the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount by causing one or more Additional Lenders to become a party to
this Agreement, then the Borrower and each such Additional Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 (an “Additional Lender Certificate”), together with an Administrative
Questionnaire for each Additional Lender, and the Borrower shall (I) if requested by any Additional Lender, deliver a Note payable
to such Additional Lender in a principal amount equal to its Commitment, and otherwise duly completed and (II) pay any applicable
fees as may have been agreed to between the Borrower, any Additional Lender and/or the Administrative Agent.


 






    74 


     


    

 


(c)            Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 4.4(d), from and after the effective date specified in the Elected
Commitment Increase Certificate or the Additional Lender Certificate, as applicable: (A) the amount of the Aggregate Elected Commitment
Amount shall be increased as set forth therein, and (B) in the case of an Additional Lender Certificate, any Additional Lender party
thereto shall be a party to this Agreement and have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and the other Documents.
In addition, each Increasing Lender and Additional Lender, as applicable, shall be deemed to have purchased a pro rata portion of the
outstanding Loans (and participation interests in Letters of Credit) of each of the other Lenders (and such Lenders hereby agree to sell
and to take all such further action to effectuate such sale) such that each Lender (including any Increasing Lender and any Additional
Lender, if applicable) shall hold its Commitment Percentage of the outstanding Loans (and participation interests in Letters of Credit)
after giving effect to the increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount and the resulting modification of each Lender’s Commitment
Percentage and Commitment pursuant to Section 4.4(d).


 


(d)            Upon
its receipt of a duly completed Elected Commitment Increase Certificate or an Additional Lender Certificate, executed by the Borrower
and the Increasing Lender or by the Borrower and the Additional Lender party thereto, as applicable, and, if applicable, the Administrative
Questionnaire referred to in Section 4.4(b)(v) the Administrative Agent shall accept such Elected Commitment Increase
Certificate or Additional Lender Certificate and record the information contained therein in the Register required to be maintained by
the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.6(b)(iv).


 


(e)            Upon
any increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section 4.4, (A) each Lender’s Commitment
Percentage shall be automatically deemed amended to the extent necessary so that each such Lender’s Commitment Percentage equals
the percentage of the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount represented by such Lender’s Elected Commitment, in each case after giving
effect to such increase, (B) each Lender’s Commitment shall be automatically deemed amended to the extent necessary so that
each Lender’s Commitment equals such Lender’s Commitment Percentage, after giving effect to any adjustments thereto pursuant
to the foregoing clause (A), of the Total Commitment, (C) Schedule 13.2 to this Agreement shall be deemed amended to reflect the
Elected Commitment of any Increasing Lender and any Additional Lender, and any changes in the Lenders’ respective Commitment Percentages
and aggregate Commitment pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), and (D) the Borrower shall execute and deliver new Notes
to the extent required under Section 2.4(e). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, the Lenders and
the Issuing Banks of the effectiveness of any increase in the Total Commitment and in connection therewith promptly provide such amended
and restated Schedule 13.2 to the Borrower, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks


 


(f)            The
Borrower may from time to time terminate or reduce the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount; provided that (A) each reduction of the
Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (B) the
Borrower shall not reduce the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in
accordance with Section 5.1 or 5.2, the Total Exposures would exceed the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount.


 






    75 


     


    

 



 


(g)            The
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount under Section 4.4(f) at
least three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree) prior to the effective date
of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Any such notice of termination or reduction
may state that it is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other events, in which case such notice may be revoked
by the Borrower if such condition is not satisfied.


 


Promptly following receipt
of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Any termination or reduction of the Aggregate
Elected Commitment Amount shall be permanent and may not be reinstated, except pursuant to Section 4.4(a). Each reduction
of the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Commitment Percentage
(and Schedule 13.2 shall be deemed amended to reflect such amendments to each Lender’s Elected Commitment and the Aggregate
Elected Commitment Amount).


 


(h)            Upon
any redetermination or other adjustment in the Borrowing Base pursuant to this Agreement that would otherwise result in the Borrowing
Base becoming less than the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount, the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be automatically reduced
(ratably among the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Commitment Percentage) so that they equal such redetermined Borrowing
Base (and Schedule 13.2 shall be deemed amended to reflect such amendments to each Lender’s Elected Commitment and the Aggregate
Elected Commitment Amount).


 


(i)             If
(A) the Borrower elects to increase the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount and (B) each Lender has consented to such increase
in its Elected Commitment, then the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be increased (ratably among the Lenders in accordance with
each Lender’s Commitment Percentage) by the amount requested by the Borrower (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.4(b)(i))
without the requirement that any Lender deliver an Elected Commitment Increase Certificate, and Schedule 13.2 shall be deemed amended
to reflect such amendments to each Lender’s Elected Commitment and the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount. The Administrative Agent
shall record the information regarding such increases in the Register required to be maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 13.6(b)(iv).

Article V

PAYMENTS


 


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


 


(a)           the
Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) of its intent to make such prepayment, the amount of such prepayment and (in the case of SOFR Loans) the specific
Advance(s) being prepaid, which notice shall be given by the Borrower no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) (or
such later time as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) (i) in the case of SOFR Loans, three U.S.
Government Securities Business Days prior to and (ii) in the case of ABR Loans on, the date of such prepayment and shall promptly
be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to each of the Lenders;


 


(b)           each
partial prepayment of (i) SOFR Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000 and in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, and
(ii) any ABR Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof; and


 


(c)           any
prepayment of SOFR Loans pursuant to this Section 5.1 on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable
thereto shall be subject to compliance by the Borrower with the applicable provisions of Section 2.10.


 


Each such notice shall specify the date and amount
of such prepayment and the Type of Loans to be prepaid; provided that any such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the
effectiveness of other credit facilities or any incurrence or issuance of debt or equity or the occurrence of any other transaction, 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. At the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.1,
such prepayment shall not be applied to any Loans of a Defaulting Lender.


 


Section 5.2            Mandatory
Prepayments.


 


(a)            Repayment
following Optional Reduction of Commitments. If, after giving effect to any reduction of the Total Commitment pursuant to Section 5.1(a),
there is a Borrowing Base Deficiency, then the Borrower shall on the same Business Day, prepay the remaining Loans on the date of such
termination or reduction in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Borrowing Base Deficiency and (ii) if any Borrowing Base
Deficiency remains after prepaying all of the Loans as a result of any Letter of Credit Exposure, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf
of the Issuing Banks and the L/C Participants an amount in cash or otherwise Cash Collateralize an amount equal to such Borrowing Base
Deficiency as provided in Section 3.8.


 


(b)           Repayment
of Loans Following Redetermination or Adjustment of Borrowing Base. Upon any redetermination of the Borrowing Base in accordance with
Section 2.14 or 2.15, if there is a Borrowing Base Deficiency, then the Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business
Days after its receipt of notice of such Borrowing Base Deficiency, inform the Administrative Agent of the Borrower’s election to:
(A) within 30 days following such election prepay the Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Borrowing Base Deficiency,
(B) prepay the Loans in six substantially equal monthly installments, commencing on the 30th day following such election with each
payment being equal to l/6th of the aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing Base Deficiency, (C) within 30 days following
such election, provide additional Collateral in the form of additional Oil and Gas Properties not evaluated in the most recently delivered
Reserve Report or other Collateral reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent having a value (as proposed by the Administrative
Agent and approved by the Required Lenders in good faith in accordance with their respective usual and customary oil and gas lending criteria
as they exist at the particular time) sufficient, after giving effect to any other actions taken pursuant to this Section 5.2(b)(i) to
eliminate any such Borrowing Base Deficiency or (D) undertake a combination of clauses (A), (B) and (C); provided that if, because
of Letter of Credit Exposure, a Borrowing Base Deficiency remains after prepaying all of the Loans, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize
such remaining Borrowing Base Deficiency as provided in Section 3.8; provided further, that all payments required to be made
pursuant to this Section 5.2(b)(i) must be made on or prior to the Maturity Date.


 






    77


     


    

 


(c)            Disposition
of Oil and Gas Properties or Equity Interests in Restricted Subsidiaries and Hedge Terminations or Issuance of Permitted Additional Debt. 
Upon any reductions to the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 2.17 in connection with a Disposition of Oil and Gas Properties or
a Hedge Termination or issuance of Permitted Additional Debt, if a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, then the Borrower shall (A) prepay
Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Borrowing Base Deficiency or (B) if any Borrowing Base Deficiency remains after
prepaying all of the Loans as a result of any Letter of Credit Exposure, Cash Collateralize an amount equal to such Borrowing Base Deficiency
as provided in Section 3.8.  The Borrower shall be obligated to make such prepayment or deposit such Cash Collateral
not later than two (2) Business Days after it receives written notice from the Administrative Agent of the adjustment of the Borrowing
Base and the resulting Borrowing Base Deficiency.


 


(d)            Application
to Loans. With respect to each prepayment of Loans elected under Section 5.1 or required by Section 5.2, the
Borrower may designate (i) the Types of Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Advance(s) being repaid and (ii) the
Loans to be prepaid; provided that (A) each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to an Advance shall be applied pro rata among such
Loans and (B) notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding clause (A), no prepayment of Loans shall be applied to the Loans of
any Defaulting Lender unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Borrower. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described
in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its reasonable discretion with
a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.12.


 


(e)            SOFR
Interest Periods. In lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 5.2 in respect of any SOFR Loan, other than on
the last day of the Interest Period therefor so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower at its
option may deposit, on behalf of the Borrower, with the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the amount of the SOFR Loan to be prepaid
and such SOFR Loan shall be repaid on the last day of the Interest Period therefor in the required amount. Such deposit shall be held
by the Administrative Agent in a corporate time deposit account established on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,
earning interest at the then customary rate for accounts of such type. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing.
Such deposit shall constitute cash collateral for the SOFR Loans to be so prepaid; provided that the Borrower may at any time direct that
such deposit be applied to make the applicable payment required pursuant to this Section 5.2.


 



    78


     


    

 


(f)            Application
of Proceeds. The application of proceeds pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall not reduce the Commitment under the Facility
and amounts prepaid may be reborrowed subject to the Available Commitment.


 


(g)           Excess
Cash. If, on the last Business Day of any week (or, if a Default, Event of Default or Borrowing Base Deficiency has occurred and is
continuing, on any Business Day), (A) there are any outstanding Loans and (B) the Borrower has any Excess Cash as of the date
of such determination, then the Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days, (1) prepay the Loans in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the amount of such Excess Cash or (2) otherwise reduce the amount of Excess Cash to zero in a manner permitted by
this Agreement.


 


Section 5.3            Method
and Place of Payment.


 


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


 


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


 






    79


     


    

 


Section 5.4            Net
Payments. For purposes of this Section 5.4, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.


 


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


 


(b)          The
Borrower shall timely pay and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender with regard to any Other Taxes
(whether or not such Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority).


 


(c)           The
Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender within thirty (30) Business Days after written demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case
may be (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.4),
and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly
or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and
calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Administrative Agent (as applicable)
on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


 






    80


     


    

 


(d)            (i) Any
Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit 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 withholding 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 applicable 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 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 5.4(d) (ii)(A),
(ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or
submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial
position of such Lender.


 


(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),
executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;


 


(B)           any
Foreign 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 Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following
is applicable:


 


(1)            in
the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect
to payments of interest under any Credit Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing
an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and
(y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Credit Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E,
as applicable, 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;


 






    81


     


    

 


(2)            executed
copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;


 


(3)            in
the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code,
(x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank”
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning
of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of
the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E,
as applicable; or


 


(4)            to
the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS
Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2
or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided
that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio
interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on
behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;


 


(C)            any
Foreign 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 Foreign 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 copies of any other
form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed,
together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and


 


(D)            if
a payment made to a Lender under any Credit 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 the Administrative Agent to comply with
their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine
the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments
made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.


 






    82


     


    

 


Each Lender agrees that if
any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form
or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.


 


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


 


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


 






    83


     


    

 


(g)           For
the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 5.4, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank.


 


(h)           The
agreements in this Section 5.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other
amounts payable hereunder.


 


Section 5.5            Computations
of Interest and Fees.


 


(a)           Interest
on SOFR Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest on ABR Loans and interest on overdue
interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.


 


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


 


Section 5.6            Limit
on Rate of Interest.


 


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


 


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


 


(c)            Adjustment
if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents would obligate the Borrower
or any other Credit Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate that
would be prohibited by any applicable Requirement of Law, then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to
have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the Maximum Rate as would not be so prohibited by applicable Requirements of Law, such adjustment
to be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by the Borrower to the affected
Lender under Section 2.7.


 


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

Agreement, the Security Documents, or any other Credit Document, (i) the Administrative Agent may grant extensions of time for or

undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required by this Agreement or the other Credit Documents,
(ii) Liens required to be granted from time to time pursuant to this Agreement and the Security Documents shall be subject to exceptions
and limitations set forth in the Security Documents and, to the extent appropriate in any applicable jurisdiction, as otherwise agreed

directing dispositions of funds in the Deposit Account without further consent by the applicable Credit Party. Each securities account
control agreement will provide that the securities intermediary will comply with entitlement orders originated by the Administrative Agent
without further consent by the applicable Credit Party. The Administrative Agent agrees that it will not issue any such instructions or
entitlement orders or otherwise exercise any control right granted under any such deposit account control agreement or securities account
control agreement unless (a) an Event of Default has occurred or (b) the Notes and the Loans then outstanding have become due
and payable in whole (and not merely in part), whether at the due date thereof, by acceleration or otherwise.

and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, incur, assume, guarantee or be or become liable for any Indebtedness of any

Section 10.10         Hedge
Transactions.


 


(a)           The
Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any Hedge Transactions other than:


 


(i)             Hedge
Transactions with respect to interest rates that are entered into in the ordinary course of business and not for purposes of speculation
that (A) result in any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is subject to a floating interest

(ii)             Hedge
Transactions with respect to hydrocarbon prices that are entered into in the ordinary course of business for hedging risk and not for
purposes of speculation and that do not (determined separately for each new Hedge Transaction as of the date such Hedge Transaction is
entered into) (a)  have Hedge Termination Dates longer than thirty six (36) months from the effective date of the Hedge Transaction,
and in no event will any such Hedge Termination Date exceed one (1) year beyond the Maturity Date and (b)  cause the aggregate
notional volumes of Hydrocarbons under all such Hedge Transactions then in effect, calculated separately for each of crude oil, natural
gas and natural gas liquids for each month to which such new Hedge Transaction applies, to exceed (i) 80% of Borrower’s and
its Restricted Subsidiaries’ anticipated production of Proved Reserves that, in accordance with the Petroleum Industry Standards,
are classified as “Proved Developed Producing Reserves” during any of the 36 months following such date, as determined based
on the most recent Reserve Report delivered pursuant to Sections 2.14 and 2.15 hereof, or (ii) zero thereafter, provided,
however, In calculating such 80% limit, all purchased put options or price floors shall be excluded, so long as such put options
or floors do not require payments by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries other than those due at the time of purchase. The limits
in the foregoing sentence shall be calculated separately for Hedge Transactions that hedge basis risk with respect to anticipated production
and those that hedge price risk with respect to anticipated production. To the extent, if any, that Borrower uses crude oil hedges to
hedge natural gas liquids, such crude oil hedges shall be treated as hedges of natural gas liquids rather than hedges of crude oil. Any
Hedge Transaction permitted under this Section 10.10(b) shall be with a counterparty that is either (i) the Administrative
Agent or any Lender or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or (ii) a third party approved in writing by the Administrative

as to which the Borrower cannot give advance notice, in which case the Borrower shall give prompt written notice of such Hedge Termination),

by Section 2.17.


 


(c)           The
Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Hedge Transaction which contains any requirement,
agreement or covenant for the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to post collateral or margin to secure their obligations under such
Hedge Transaction or to cover market exposures; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit or be deemed to prohibit
the Obligations from being secured by the Security Documents.

Section 10.12         Amendment
of Organizational Documents.


 


(a)           The
Borrower will not amend or modify its organizational documents in a manner that would have a Material Adverse Effect without obtaining

for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with entry into the Preferred Equity Transaction, as such term is defined in Amendment No. 1)
the terms of any Preferred Equity or the terms of any preferred Equity Interests of any Restricted Subsidiary to the extent that the same
could reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the Lenders (it being understood that (i) any increase in the distribution
rate (whether in cash or paid in kind), (ii) any change to any mandatory redemption provision or put rights (or the addition of other
mandatory redemption provisions or put rights), (iii) any change to the terms of thereof which results in any such Preferred Equity
or preferred Equity Interests constituting indebtedness under GAAP and (iv) any modification of any covenant included in any such
Preferred Equity or preferred Equity Interests that makes such covenant materially more restrictive as to the Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries (or any modification that adds a covenant that results in any such Preferred Equity or preferred Equity Interests being materially
more restrictive as to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), in each case, shall be deemed to be materially adverse to
the Lenders).

Borrower will not permit OpCo to amend, modify or supplement (or enter into any agreement that has the effect of amending, modifying or
supplementing) its organizational documents (including its certificate or articles of incorporation and the bylaws) in a manner that could
reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the Lenders (it being understood that (i) changes to the organizational form of
OpCo from a limited liability company or changes to the management of OpCo by the Borrower and (ii) changes to permit distributions
in respect of the OpCo Common Units to be paid to the Borrower on a less than ratable basis, in each case, shall be deemed to be materially
adverse to the Lenders.

(a)           Unless
designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary on Schedule 8.12 as of the date hereof or thereafter, in compliance with Section 10.17(b) or
(d), any Person that becomes a Subsidiary of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be classified as a Restricted Subsidiary.


 


(b)           The
Borrower may designate by written notification thereof to the Administrative Agent, any Restricted Subsidiary (other than OpCo), including
a newly or to be formed or newly or to be acquired Subsidiary, as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if (i) prior, and immediately after
giving effect, to such designation, neither a Default nor a Borrowing Base Deficiency would exist, (ii) such designation is deemed
to be an Investment in an Unrestricted Subsidiary in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value as of the date of such designation of the
Borrower’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ direct ownership interests in such Subsidiary and such Investment would be permitted
to be made at the time of such designation under Section 10.15 and (iii) the Borrower shall be in Pro Forma Compliance
after giving effect to such designation. Except as provided in this Section 10.17(b), no Restricted Subsidiary may be designated
as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.


 


(c)           The
Borrower may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if immediately after giving effect to such designation,
(i) the representations and warranties of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries contained in each of the Credit Documents
are true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date as if made on and as of the date of such redesignation (or, if stated
to have been made expressly as of an earlier date, were true and correct in all material respects as of such date), (ii) no Default

interests in such Subsidiary or the amount of the Borrower’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ aggregate investment previously
made for purposes of the limitation on Investments under Section 10.15. Upon the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary

any limitation on Investments under Section 10.15.


 


(d)           Each
Subsidiary of an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall automatically be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.


 


(e)           Upon

shall be automatically released from all obligations, if any, under the Credit Documents, including the Guarantee and all other applicable

Article XII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT


 


Section 12.1           Appointment.


 


(a)            Each
Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents and irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions
of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article XII (other than Section 12.1(b) with respect to the Lead
Arranger, the Syndication Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, and the Co-Documentation Agents and Section 12.9 with respect to
the Borrower) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as third
party beneficiary of any such provision. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative
Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender,
and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other
Credit Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.


 


(b)            Neither
the Lead Arranger, the Syndication Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers nor the Co-Documentation Agents, in their capacities as such, shall
have any obligations, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement but shall be entitled to all benefits of this Article XII.


 


(c)            Except
for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by the
Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or Issuing Bank with
any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower or any other Credit Party (or
any of their Affiliates) that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates. Each Lender and Issuing
Bank acknowledges that Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP is acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent only. Each other party hereto
will consult with its own legal counsel to the extent that it deems necessary in connection with the Credit Documents and the matters
contemplated therein.


 






    125


     


    

 


(d)           The
Administrative Agent shall have no duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights
and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing
as directed by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as
provided in Article XII) and in all cases the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder
or under any other Credit Documents unless it shall (a) receive written instructions from the Majority Lenders (or such other number
or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Article XII) specifying the action to be
taken and (b) be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expenses that may be incurred by
it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The instructions as aforesaid and any action taken or failure to act pursuant
thereto by the Administrative Agent shall be binding on all of the Lenders and Issuing Banks. If a Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, then the Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed
by the requisite Lenders in the written instructions (with indemnities) described in this Section 12.1, provided that, unless and
until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions and indemnities, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated
to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable
in the best interests of the Lenders and Issuing Banks. In no event, however, shall the Administrative Agent be required to take any action
that the Administrative Agent determines exposes the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, the Credit
Documents or applicable law. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or
at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances
as provided in Article XII) and otherwise the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it hereunder
or under any other Credit Document or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection
herewith or therewith INCLUDING ITS OWN ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct


 


Section 12.2           Exculpatory
Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates
shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement
or any other Credit Document (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in the final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein) or (b) responsible in any
manner to any of the Lenders or any participant for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any of the Borrower,
any other Credit Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or in any certificate, report,
statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this
Agreement or any other Credit Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement,
any other Credit Document or any Collateral, or, except with respect to any physical certificate or instrument representing pledged debt
securities or pledged stock (in each case, as defined in the Security Agreement) in the possession of the Administrative Agent, the existence,
value, perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Security Documents, the financial
condition of any Credit Party or for any failure of the Borrower or any other Credit Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.
The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance
of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books

Section 12.3           Reliance
by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon
any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other
document or instruction believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons
and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected
by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lender specified in the Register with respect to any amount
owing hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have
been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action
under this Agreement or any other Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders as
it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that
may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents in accordance with a request of
the Majority Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and
all future holders of the Loans; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion
or in the opinion of its counsel, may expose it to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable Requirements of
Law. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Article VII on the Amendment No. 3 Effective
Date, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each
document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Amendment No. 3 Effective Date specifying its objection thereto.


 


Section 12.4           Notice
of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event
of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing
such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative
Agent receives such a notice, it shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect
to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Lenders; provided that unless and until the Administrative
Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from
taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders except
to the extent that this Agreement requires that such action be taken only with the approval of the Majority Lenders or each individual
lender, as applicable.

Section 12.5           Non-Reliance
on the Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any
of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that
no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, shall
be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Issuing Bank. Each Lender and
each Issuing Bank represents to the Administrative Agent 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 appraisal of and investigation
into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and each other Credit Party
and made its own decision to make its Advances hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents 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 deem appropriate
at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and
the other Credit Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and any other Credit Party. Except for notices, reports and other documents
expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty
or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, assets, operations, properties,
financial condition, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any other Credit Party that may come into the possession of the
Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.


 


Section 12.6           Indemnification.
The Lenders severally agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties in their capacities as such (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), ratably according to their respective
portions of the Commitments or Loans, as applicable, outstanding in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification
is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance
with their respective portions of the Total Outstandings in effect immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at
any time occur (including at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative
Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any documents contemplated
by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative
Agent or its Related Parties under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative
Agent or its Related Parties for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Administrative Agent’s or the Related Parties’ gross negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, further, that no action
taken in accordance with the directions of the Majority Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct
for purposes of this Section 12.6. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at
any time occur (including at any time following the payment of the Loans), this Section 12.6 applies whether any such investigation,
litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse
the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred
by such Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement
(whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice rendered in respect of rights or responsibilities under,
this Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that it is not reimbursed
for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s
continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent for any purpose shall,
in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity
and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall
this sentence require any Lender to indemnify the Administrative Agent or its Related Parties against any liability, obligation, loss,
damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s pro rata portion thereof; and
provided further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify the Administrative Agent or its Related Parties
against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement resulting from the Administrative
Agent’s or the Related Parties’ gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 12.6
shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.


 






    128


     


    

 


Section 12.7           The
Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits
from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower and any other Credit Party as though the Administrative Agent were
not the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents. With respect to the Loans made by it, the Administrative
Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same
as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative
Agent in its individual capacity.


 


Section 12.8           Successor
Agents. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower.
If the Administrative Agent becomes a Defaulting Lender, then such Administrative Agent may be removed as the Administrative Agent, at
the reasonable request of the Borrower and the Majority Lenders. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or removal, as the case
may be, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
so long as no Default under Section 11.1 or 11.5 is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with
an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If, in the case of a resignation
of a retiring Administrative Agent, no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf
of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor
has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective at the end of such 30-day period. In the event that no successor administrative
agent shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days, such resignation shall nonetheless be effective and the Majority Lenders shall
act as Administrative Agent hereunder. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder, and
upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices,
as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Majority Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or
purported to be granted by the Security Documents, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its
duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 12.8).
The fees payable by the Borrower (following the effectiveness of such appointment) to the Administrative Agent shall be the same as those
payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s
resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article XII (including Section 12.6)
and Section 13.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, and its Related Parties in
respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as the Administrative
Agent.


 






    129


     


    

 


Any resignation of any Person
as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.8 shall also constitute its resignation as Issuing Bank. Upon the acceptance
of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with
all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank, (b) the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged
from all of its respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, and (c) the successor Issuing Bank
shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other
arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect
to such Letters of Credit.


 


Section 12.9           Withholding
Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any
Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or
other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account
of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender
failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding
tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been
reimbursed by any applicable Credit Party and without limiting the obligation of any applicable Credit Party to do so) fully for all amounts
paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including penalties, additions to Tax and interest, together
with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses. Each Lender hereby authorizes
the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit
Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 12.9. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes
of this Section 12.9, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank.


 






    130


     


    

 


Section 12.10         Security
Documents and Guarantee. Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit
of Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents.
Subject to Section 13.1, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party or the Administrative Agent,
as applicable, may (a) execute any documents or instruments necessary in connection with a Disposition of assets permitted by this
Agreement, (b) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such Disposition of assets or with respect
to which Majority Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 13.1) have otherwise
consented or (c) release any applicable Guarantor from the Guarantee in connection with such Disposition or with respect to which
Majority Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 13.1) have otherwise consented.
The Lenders and the Issuing Banks (including in their capacities as potential Cash Management Banks and potential Hedge Banks) irrevocably
agree that (x) the Administrative Agent may, without any further consent of any Lender, enter into or amend any intercreditor agreement
with the representatives of the holders of Indebtedness that is permitted to be secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is permitted
under this Agreement, (y) the Administrative Agent may rely exclusively on a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower
as to whether any such other Liens are permitted and (z) any such intercreditor agreement referred to in clause (x) above, entered
into by the Administrative Agent, shall be binding on the Secured Parties. Furthermore, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (including in
their capacities as potential Cash Management Bank and potential Hedge Banks) hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to subordinate
any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Credit Document to the holder of any Lien on such property
that is a Permitted Lien; provided that prior to any such request, the Borrower shall have in each case delivered to the Administrative
Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower certifying that such subordination is permitted under this Agreement.


 


Section 12.11         Right
to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantee. Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (a) no Secured Party shall have any right individually
to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantee, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies
hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and
all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, and (b) in the
event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition,
the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition
and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective
individual capacities unless the Majority Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and
making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply
any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale
or other disposition.


 






    131


     


    

 


Section 12.12         The
Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding, constituting an Event of Default under Section 11.5,
the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration
or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered,
by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Section 12.13         Credit
Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, to credit
bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the
Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more
acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy
Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Person
is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or
at the direction of) Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection
with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations shall be credit bid by Administrative Agent at the direction of the Majority Lenders
on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired
assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the
contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests
or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such
bid Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such
acquisition vehicle or vehicles in such manner as shall be approved by Majority Lenders. Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Cash
Management Banks and the Hedge Banks agree to execute such documents and provide such information regarding itself (and/or any designee
which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as Administrative Agent may reasonably request
in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by such credit bid.


 






    132


     


    

 


Section 12.14         Sub-agents.
The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document
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 of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding
paragraphs will apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and will apply
to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the
extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with
gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.


 


Section 12.15         Certain
ERISA Matters.


 


(a)            Each
Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the
date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative
Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that at least one of the following is and will be true:


 


(i)             such
Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise for purposes of Title I
of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation
in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments or this Agreement,


 


(ii)            the
prohibited transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined
by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company
general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38
(a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions
determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable so as to exempt from the prohibitions of Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975
of the Code such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this
Agreement,


 






    133


     


    

 


(iii)           (A) such
Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE
84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate
in, administer and perform the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration
of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of
Part I of PTE 84- 14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of
PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the
Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, or


 


(iv)           such
other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and
such Lender.


 


(b)           In
addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or
(2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately
preceding clause (a), such Lender further (i) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, and
(y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto,
for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that the Administrative
Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration
of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights
by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Credit Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).


 


Section 12.16         Erroneous
Payment.


 


(a)            If
the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on
behalf of a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party (any such Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other recipient (and each
of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in
its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set
forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates
were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or
not known to such Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted
or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively,
an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof),
such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated
below in this Section 12.16 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender, Issuing Bank
or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient
to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole
discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to
which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived
in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof)
was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater
of the Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation
from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be
conclusive, absent manifest error.


 






    134


     


    

 


(b)            Without
limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees
that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest,
fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than,
or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative
Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied
by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Payment
Recipient, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part),
then in each such case:


 


(i)             it
acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake
shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and
mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment
or repayment; and


 


(ii)            such
Payment Recipient shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within
one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x),
(y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof
(in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.16(b).


 


For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver
a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.16(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s
obligations pursuant to Section 12.16(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.


 


(c)            Each
Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at
any time owing to such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party under any Credit Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by
the Administrative Agent to such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party under any Credit Document with respect to any payment of principal,
interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding
clause (a).


 






    135


     


    

 


(d)           (i) In
the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor
in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof)
(and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered
amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender
at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender
shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous
Payment Impacted Loans”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative
Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Loans, the “Erroneous
Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest
(with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed
to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption
by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous
Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
(but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the
Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon
such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect
to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect
to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions
of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment,
and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment
Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender
and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.


 


(ii)           Subject
to Section 13.6 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (except from the Borrower)),
the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon
receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net
proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims
against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return
Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest,
or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans
acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by
the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by
the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.


 






    136


     


    

 


(e)            The
parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an
Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion
thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and,
in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, to the rights and
interests of such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Credit Documents with respect to such amount
(the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Credit Parties’ Obligations under
the Credit Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Secured Obligations in respect
of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous
Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Secured Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Credit
Party; provided that this Section 12.16 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have
the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for
payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided,
further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to
the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds
received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.


 


(f)            To
the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives,
and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim
by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge
for value” or any similar doctrine.


 


(g)            Each
party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 12.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of
the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of
the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Credit Document.


 


(h)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document,  no Credit Party nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have
any increased obligations or liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of this Section 12.16 in respect of any Erroneous
Payment (other than having consented to the assignment referenced in Section 12.16(d)(i) above and acknowledging Sections
8.10(d), (e) and (g) above).

Waivers and Releases.


 


(a)            Except
as expressly set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.9(d)), neither this Agreement nor any other Credit
Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.1.
The Majority Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the Majority Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, (i) enter
into with the relevant Credit Party or Credit Parties written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Credit
Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or changing in any manner the rights
of the Lenders or of the Credit Parties hereunder or thereunder or (ii) waive in writing, on such terms and conditions as the Majority
Lenders or the Administrative Agent may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents
or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that each such waiver and each such amendment, supplement
or modification shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, further, that
no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (A) forgive or reduce any portion of any Loan or reduce the
stated rate (it being understood that only the consent of the Majority Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrower
to pay interest at the Default Rate or amend Section 2.7(e)), or forgive any portion, or extend the date for the payment,
of any interest or fee payable hereunder (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest
rates and any change due to a change in the Borrowing Base or Available Commitment), or extend the final expiration date of any Lender’s
Commitment (provided that it is being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events
of Default shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender) or extend the final expiration date of any Letter of Credit
beyond the L/C Maturity Date, or increase the amount of the Commitment of any Lender, or make any Loan, interest, fee or other amount
payable in any currency other than Dollars, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby,
or (B) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 13.1 in a manner that would reduce the voting rights of any
Lender, or reduce the percentages specified in the definitions of the terms “Majority Lenders” or “Required Lenders,”
consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of its rights and obligations under any Credit Document to which it is a party,
in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (C) amend the provisions of Section 11.11
or any analogous provision of any Security Document in a manner that would alter the order of payments required thereby, without the prior
written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (D) amend, modify or waive any provision of Article XII
without the written consent of the then-current Administrative Agent, or any other former Administrative Agent to whom Article XII
then applies in a manner that directly and adversely affects such Person, or (E) amend, modify or waive any provision of Article III
with respect to any Letter of Credit without the written consent of each Issuing Bank to whom Article III then applies in
a manner that directly and adversely affects such Person, or (F) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors under the Guarantee
(except as expressly permitted by the Guarantee or this Agreement) without the prior written consent of each Lender, or (G) release
all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Security Documents (except as expressly permitted by the Security Documents or this
Agreement) without the prior written consent of each Lender, or (H) increase the Borrowing Base without the written consent of the
Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders), decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base without the written consent of the Required Lenders (other
than Defaulting Lenders) or otherwise modify Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 if such modification would have the effect of increasing
the Borrowing Base without the written consent of the Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders); provided that a scheduled redetermination
of the Borrowing Base under Section 2.14 may be postponed by the Required Lenders, or (J) affect the rights or duties
of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, the Administrative Agent without the prior written consent of such Agent or (K) amend
Section 13.27 in a manner that would cause any Excluded Structures to be encumbered by any Mortgage without the written consent of
the Lenders. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the affected Lenders and
shall be binding upon the Borrower, such Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the affected Loans. In the case of
any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and
under the other Credit Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; it being
understood that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
In connection with the foregoing provisions, the Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligations to, with the concurrence of any
Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender whose consent is required hereunder.


 






    138


     


    





 


(b)            Without
the consent of any Lender or Issuing Bank, (i) the Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent may (in their respective sole discretion,
or shall, to the extent required by any Credit Document) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Credit Document, or
enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security
interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local
law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security
interests therein comply with applicable law or this Agreement or in each case to otherwise enhance the rights or benefits of any Lender
under any Credit Document and (ii) if the Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent acting together identify any ambiguity, omission,
mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement (including this Section) or any other Credit Document
(including the schedules and exhibits thereto), then the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties shall be permitted to amend, modify
or supplement such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect, and such amendment shall
become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice
to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks.

The Borrower agrees that the
Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the Issuing Banks and
the other Lenders by posting the Communications on the Platform. The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.”
The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions
in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for
a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party
in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively,
the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind,
including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise)
arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform, except for
such Agent Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand,
communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to any Credit Document or the
transactions contemplated therein that is distributed to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank by means of electronic
communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform.

Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and
not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Requirements of Law.

Section 13.4            Survival
of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Credit Documents and in any
document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the making of the Loans hereunder.


  


Section 13.5            Payment
of Expenses; Indemnification. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable
and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and execution and delivery of, and any amendment,
waiver, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith
or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees,
disbursements and other charges of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, in its capacity as counsel to the Administrative Agent, and
one counsel in each appropriate local jurisdiction (excluding any allocated costs of in-house counsel), (b) to pay or reimburse each
Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection
with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any such other documents, including
the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Administrative Agent, (c) to pay, indemnify and hold harmless
each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent from any and all recording and filing fees and (d) to pay, indemnify
and hold harmless each Lender, Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent and their respective Related Parties from and against any
and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether or not such proceedings are brought by the Borrower, any of its Related Parties or any other
third Person, including reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary counsel for all such Persons, taken
as a whole, and, if necessary, by a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for all such Persons, taken as a whole
(unless there is an actual or perceived conflict of interest in which case each such Person may, with the consent of the Borrower (not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), retain its own counsel), with respect to (i) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance
and administration of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any such other documents and (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit
or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any 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), including,
without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under any Environmental Law (other
than by such indemnified person or any of its Related Parties (other than any trustee or advisor)) or to any actual or alleged presence,
release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials involving or attributable to the Borrower, any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or
any of the Oil and Gas Properties (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”);
provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Related
Parties with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities have resulted from (i) the gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified or any of its Related Parties as determined by a final non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) any material breach of any Credit Document by any Lender or Issuing Bank or any
of their Related Parties (other than the Administrative Agent, acting in its capacity as such, and its directors, officers, employees,
agent and consultants) or (iii) disputes, claims, demands, actions, judgments or suits not arising from any act or omission by the
Borrower or its Affiliates, brought by an indemnified Person against any other indemnified Person (other than disputes, claims, demands,
actions, judgments or suits involving claims against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such). No Person entitled to indemnification
under clause (d) of this Section 13.5 shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information
or other materials obtained through internet, electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems (including IntraLinks
or SyndTrak Online) in connection with this Agreement, except to the extent that such damages have resulted from the willful misconduct,
bad faith or gross negligence of the party to be indemnified or any of its Related Parties (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
in a final and non-appealable decision), nor (except solely as a result of the indemnification obligations of the Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries set forth above) shall any such Person, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries have any liability
for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated
savings) relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith
(whether before or after the Effective Date) other than any such damages or claims incurred or paid to a third party, or which are included
in a third-party claim, and any out-of-pocket expenses related hereto. All amounts payable under this Section 13.5 shall be
paid within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by the Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expense in reasonable
detail, accompanied, if requested by the Borrower, by reasonable supporting documentation. The agreements in this Section 13.5
shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. This Section 13.5 shall not apply with respect
to any Taxes other than Taxes that represent liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever resulting from a non-Tax claim, which shall be governed exclusively
by Section 5.4 and, to the extent set forth therein, Sections 2.10 and 3.5.

Section 13.6            Successors
and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.


 


(a)            The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of each Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower
may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no
Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 13.6. Nothing
in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of each Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) (the “Participants”)
(to the extent provided in clause (c) of this Section 13.6) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related
Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders and each other Person entitled to indemnification under
Section 13.5) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.


 


(b)            (i) Subject
to the conditions set forth in clause (b)(ii) below, any Lender (or the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 12.16(d)(ii))
may at any time assign to one or more assignees (other than the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, any natural person or any Defaulting Lender)
all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans (including
participations in L/C Obligations) at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:


 


(A)            the
Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an
assignment if an Event of Default under Section 11.1 or Section 11.5 has occurred and is continuing or in the
case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and


 






    142 


     


    




 


(B)            the
Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank (in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).


 


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


 


(A)            except
in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount
of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans or an assignment by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.16(d)(ii),
the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment
and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 and increments
of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, unless each of the Borrower, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (which
consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of
Default under Section 11.1 or Section 11.5 has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that contemporaneous
assignments to a single assignee made by Affiliates of Lenders and related Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of meeting
the minimum assignment amount requirements stated above;


 


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


 


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


 


(D)            the
assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and applicable Tax forms
(including those described in Section 5.4), as applicable.


 


(iii)          Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(iv) of this Section 13.6, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder
shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.12, 3.5, 5.4
and 13.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
Section 13.6 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 clause (c) of this Section 13.6.


 






    143 


     


    

 


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


 


(v)           Upon
its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance 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 clause (b) of this Section 13.6 (unless waived) and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of
this Section 13.6, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained
therein in the Register.


 


(c)            (i) Any
Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks
or other entities other than any Defaulting Lender, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower (each, a “Participant”)
in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments
and the Loans owing to it); 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, each 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 or any other Credit Document; 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 clause (A) or
(B) of the second proviso of the second sentence of Section 13.1(a) that affects such Participant, provided that
the Participant shall have no right to consent to any modification to the percentages specified in the definition of the term “Majority
Lenders” or “Required Lenders.” Subject to clause (c)(ii) of this Section 13.6, the Borrower agrees
that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.12, 3.5 and 5.4 to the same extent as if it
were a Lender (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections and Section 13.7) as though it were a Lender
and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.6). To the extent permitted by
Requirements of Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.8(b) as though it were a Lender;
provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 13.8(a) as though it were a Lender.


 






    144 


     


    

 


(ii)            A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10, 2.12, 3.5 or 5.4 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation
to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided
that the Participant shall be subject to the provisions in Section 2.11 as if it were an assignee under clauses (a) and
(b) of this Section 13.6. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary
agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and
related interest amounts) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant
Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and each party hereto shall
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register
to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments,
loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to
establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of
the United States Treasury Regulations.


 


(d)            Any
Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, 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 any pledge or assignment
to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 13.6
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.
In order to facilitate such pledge or assignment or for any other reason, the Borrower hereby agrees that, upon request of any Lender
at any time and from time to time after the Borrower has made its initial borrowing hereunder, the Borrower shall provide to such Lender,
at the Borrower’s own expense, a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit C, evidencing the Loans owing
to such Lender.


 






    145 


     


    

 


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


 


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


 


(g)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement in respect of its Loans to an Affiliated Lender; provided that an Affiliated Lender shall make a representation and warranty
to such assigning Lender that at the time of the assignment such Affiliated Lender is not in possession of any material non-public information
(within the meaning of United States securities laws) with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that has not been disclosed to
such assigning Lender or the Lenders generally (other than because any such Lender has elected not to receive such material non-public
information); provided further that, by its acquisition of Loans, an Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed
that:


 


(i)            it
shall not have any right to (A) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative
Agent or any Lender to which representatives of the Borrower are not then present, (B) receive any information or material prepared
by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders, except to the
extent such information or materials have been made available to the Borrower or its representatives (and in any case, other than the
right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant
to Article II), or (C) make or bring (or participate in, other than as a passive participant in or recipient of its pro
rata benefits of) any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against the Administrative Agent or any other Lender with respect to any duties
or obligations or alleged duties or obligations of such Agent or any other such Lender under the Credit Documents;


 






    146 


     


    

 


(ii)            except
with respect to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action described in clause (i) of the second proviso of the
second sentence of Section 13.1(a) or that alters an Affiliated Lender’s pro rata share of any payments given to
all Lenders, the Loans held by an Affiliated Lender shall be disregarded in both the numerator and denominator in the calculation of any
Lender vote (and shall be deemed to have been voted in the same percentage as all other applicable Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders
voted if necessary to give legal effect to this paragraph) under any Credit Document;


 


(iii)            the
aggregate principal amount of Loans held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders may not exceed 30% of the aggregate principal amount of
all Loans outstanding at such time under this Agreement; and


 


(iv)            no
Loan proceeds shall be used by such Affiliated Lender to purchase such Loans.


 


Section 13.7            Replacements
of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.


 


(a)            The
Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that becomes a Defaulting Lender, with a replacement bank, lending institution or other
financial institution; provided that (A) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (B) no Event of Default
under Section 11.1 or 11.5 shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (C) the replacement
bank or institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and the Borrower shall pay all other amounts (other than any disputed amounts),
pursuant to Section 2.9, 3.5 or 5.4, as the case may be) owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement,
(D) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (E) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with
the provisions of Section 13.6(b) (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing
fee referred to therein) and (F) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.


 


(b)            If
any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) (x) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, determination,
waiver, discharge or termination that pursuant to the terms of Section 13.1 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected
and with respect to which the Majority Lenders shall have granted their consent or (y) did not consent to increase the Borrowing
Base then in effect when the Required Lenders provided their consent to such increase pursuant to Sections 2.15 or 2.16,, then,
in each case, provided no Event of Default then exists, the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such
consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and its Commitments hereunder
to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that: (i) all Obligations of the Borrower owing
to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced (other than principal and interest) shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently
with such assignment, and (ii) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price
equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower,
Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 13.6.


 






    147 


     


    

 


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


 


Section 13.8            Adjustments;
Set-off.


 


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


 


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

as a paper record), (iii) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement,
any other Credit Document and/or any Ancillary Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other
Credit Document and/or such Ancillary Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto and (iv) waives
any claim against any Lender-Related Person for any Liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s

Section 13.17         Release
of Collateral and Guarantee Obligations.


 


(a)            The
Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Credit Parties on any Collateral shall be
automatically released (i) in full, as set forth in clause (b) below, (ii) upon the Disposition of such Collateral (including
as part of or in connection with any other Disposition permitted hereunder) to any Person other than another Credit Party, to the extent
such Disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate
to that effect provided to it by any Credit Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) to the extent such
Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Credit Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease, (iv) if the release
of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent
may be required in accordance with Section 13.1), (v) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned
by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee, (vi) upon the designation of any
Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (vii) as required by the
Administrative Agent to effect any Disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent

any Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender. In connection
with any release hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to) take
such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense in connection
with the release of any Liens created by any Credit Document.


 






    153


     


    

 


(b)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Credit Document, when all Obligations (other than Hedging Obligations, Cash Management
Obligations or contingent indemnification obligations not then due and payable) have been paid in full in cash or equivalents thereof,
the Commitments have terminated and the Letters of Credit have terminated (unless such Letters of Credit have been collateralized or
other arrangements in respect thereof have been made on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to each applicable Issuing Bank
following the termination of the Commitments), upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote
or consent of, any Secured Party) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release
all obligations under any Credit Document. Any such release of Obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such Obligations
shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded
or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower
or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer
for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107¬56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) it
is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address
of each Credit Party and other information that will allow the Administrative Agent and such Lender to identify each Credit Party in
accordance with the Patriot Act.


 


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


 






    154


     


    

 


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


 


Section 13.21         Disposition
of Proceeds. The Security Documents contain an assignment by the Borrower and/or the Guarantors unto and in favor of the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Lenders of all of the Borrower’s or each Guarantor’s interest in and to their as-extracted collateral
in the form of production and all proceeds attributable thereto which may be produced from or allocated to the Mortgaged Property. The
Security Documents further provide in general for the application of such proceeds to the satisfaction of the Obligations described therein
and secured thereby. Notwithstanding the assignment contained in such Security Documents, until the occurrence of an Event of Default,
(i) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that they will neither notify the purchaser or purchasers of such production
nor take any other action to cause such proceeds to be remitted to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, but the Lenders will instead
permit such proceeds to be paid to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries and (ii) the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative
Agent to take such actions as may be necessary to cause such proceeds to be paid to the Borrower and/or such Restricted Subsidiaries.


 


Section 13.22         Collateral
Matters; Hedge Transactions. The benefit of the Security Documents and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to any Collateral
securing the Obligations shall also extend to and be available on a pro rata basis pursuant to terms agreed upon in the Credit Documents
to (i) any Hedge Bank or (ii) any Cash Management Bank. No Person shall have any voting rights under any Credit Document solely
as a result of the existence of obligations owed to it under or in respect of any such Hedge Transaction or Cash Management Agreement.


 


Section 13.23         Agency

Section 13.24         Acknowledgement
and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or
in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any
Affected Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down
and Conversion Powers of the applicable Affected Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound
by:


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Section 13.25         Acknowledgement
Regarding Any Supported QFCs.


 


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


 


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


 






    156


     


    

 


(b)            As
used in this Section 13.25, the following terms have the following meanings: “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means
an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party. “Covered
Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance
with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with,
12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12
C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance
with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified
financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).


 


Section 13.26         Amendment.
The Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders have agreed that this Agreement is an amendment of the Credit
Agreement, dated as of January 11, 2017 as amended, modified or supplemented on or prior to June 7, 2022 (the “Existing
Credit Agreement”), that the terms and provisions hereof supersede the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement,
and that this Agreement is not a new or substitute credit agreement or novation of the Existing Credit Agreement. The Obligations of
Borrower and the other Credit Parties evidenced under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are given in renewal and modification,
but not in extinguishment, novation or discharge, of the “Obligations” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement.
From and after the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, (i) all references to the Existing Credit Agreement (or to any amendment,
supplement, modification or amendment and restatement thereof) in the Credit Documents (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to
refer to the Existing Credit Agreement as amended hereby and (ii) all references to any section (or subsection) of the Existing
Credit Agreement in any Credit Document (other than this Agreement) shall be amended to be references to the corresponding provisions
of this Agreement.


 


Section 13.27         Flood
Insurance. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or the Mortgage to the contrary, in no event is (a) any Building
(as defined in the applicable Flood Insurance Regulation) or Manufactured (Mobile) Home (as defined in the applicable Flood Insurance
Regulation), which is located within an area having special flood hazards and in which flood insurance is available under the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968, or (b) any interest held by any Credit Party in and to the surface of the lands underlying any said
Building or Manufactured (Mobile) Home (such Buildings, Manufactured (Mobile) Homes and lands are collectively referred to herein as,
the “Excluded Structures”), included in the definition of “Mortgaged Properties” (including with respect
to the component definitions of Mineral Interests, Hydrocarbons and Personal Property included therein), and no Excluded Property or
Excluded Structures are encumbered by any Mortgage existing on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date or entered into thereafter.

EXHIBIT “B” TO CREDIT AGREEMENT
FORM OF GUARANTEE


 


This Guarantee dated as of
January __, 2017 (this “Guarantee”) is executed by, a (each a “Guarantor” and, collectively, the
 “Guarantors”) and each other Person who may from time to time become a party to this Guarantee (collectively, the
 “Additional Guarantors”, and each, an “Additional Guarantor”) in favor of CITIBANK, N.A., as Administrative
Agent (as hereinafter defined) for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement).


 


INTRODUCTION


 


A.            This
Guarantee is entered into in connection with that certain Credit Agreement dated as of January 11, 2017 (as may be amended, restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Kimbell Royalty Partners, LP,
a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”), the lenders party thereto from time to time (individually, a “Lender”
and collectively, the “Lenders”), and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative
Agent”).


 


B.             The
Guarantors are Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower and will derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from (i) the transactions
contemplated by the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement), (ii) the Hedge Transactions
provided to the Borrower by any Hedge Bank, (iii) the Letters of Credit provided by any Issuing Bank; and (iv) Cash Management
Services provided to the Borrower by any Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender.


 


C.             The
Guarantor is executing and delivering this Guarantee (i) to induce the Lenders to make Advances under the Credit Agreement, (ii) to
induce the Hedge Banks to provide Hedge Transactions, (iii) to induce Issuing Banks to provide Letters of Credit; (iv) to induce
the Lender or an Affiliate of Lender to provide Cash Management Services and (iv) intending it to be a legal, valid, binding, enforceable
and continuing obligation of each Guarantor.


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged and confessed,
each Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:


 


Section 1                DEFINITIONS.
ALL CAPITALIZED TERMS NOT OTHERWISE DEFINED IN THIS GUARANTEE THAT ARE DEFINED IN THE CREDIT AGREEMENT SHALL HAVE THE MEANINGS ASSIGNED
TO SUCH TERMS BY THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.


 


Section 2                GUARANTEE.


 


(a)       Each
Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment and performance, when due, whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations, whether absolute or contingent and whether for principal, interest (including,
without limitation, interest that but for the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding would accrue), fees, obligations
to provide cash collateral, indemnities, expenses or otherwise (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”); provided that
the “Guaranteed Obligations” shall not include any Excluded Swap Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by:
(i) the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Credit Documents, (ii) the
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to a swap counterparty under Hedge Transactions, (iii) the Borrower and any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with Letters of Credit issued by Issuing Bank and Cash Management Obligations owed to any Lender
or any Affiliate of any Lender, and (iv) the Borrower or any other Credit Party to the extent otherwise constituting Obligations,
in any event, but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to insolvency or the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization
or similar proceeding involving the Borrower or such other Restricted Subsidiary.


 






    Exhibit B - 1


     


    

 


(b)      Anything
contained in this Guarantee to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guarantee on any date shall
be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not, on such date, render its obligations hereunder subject
to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any applicable
provisions of comparable laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization, or relief of debtors (collectively, the “Fraudulent
Transfer Laws”), but only to the extent that any Fraudulent Transfer Law has been found in a final non-appealable judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction to be applicable to such obligations as of such date, in each case:


 


(1)           after
giving effect to all liabilities of each Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws, but
specifically excluding:


 


(i)            any
liabilities of such Guarantor in respect of intercompany indebtedness to the Borrower or other Affiliate of the Borrower to the extent
that such indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Guarantor hereunder; and


 


(ii)           any
liabilities of such Guarantor under this Guarantee; and


 


(2)           after
giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to
subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution of such Guarantor pursuant to applicable law or pursuant to the terms of
any agreement.


 






    Exhibit B - 2


     


    

 


Section 3                GUARANTEE

DOCUMENTS, THE AGREEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO CASH MANAGEMENT SERVICES PROVIDED BY ANY LENDER OR AN AFFILIATE OF ANY LENDER, LETTERS OF CREDIT
ISSUED BY ISSUING BANKS AND THE APPLICABLE HEDGE TRANSACTIONS, REGARDLESS OF ANY LAW, REGULATION OR ORDER NOW OR HEREAFTER IN EFFECT
IN ANY JURISDICTION AFFECTING ANY OF SUCH TERMS OR THE RIGHTS OF ANY BENEFICIARY WITH RESPECT THERETO. THE OBLIGATIONS OF EACH GUARANTOR
UNDER THIS GUARANTEE ARE INDEPENDENT OF THE OBLIGATIONS OF ANY OTHER PERSON UNDER THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS, THE AGREEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO
CASH MANAGEMENT SERVICES PROVIDED BY ANY LENDER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY LENDER, AND THE APPLICABLE HEDGE TRANSACTIONS WITH SWAP COUNTERPARTIES,
AND A SEPARATE ACTION OR ACTIONS MAY BE BROUGHT AND PROSECUTED AGAINST ANY GUARANTOR TO ENFORCE THIS GUARANTEE, IRRESPECTIVE
OF WHETHER ANY ACTION IS BROUGHT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR WHETHER THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER PERSON ARE JOINED IN ANY
SUCH ACTION OR ACTIONS. THE LIABILITY OF EACH GUARANTOR UNDER THIS GUARANTEE SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE, ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL IRRESPECTIVE
OF, AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY DEFENSES IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE IN ANY WAY RELATING TO, ANY OR ALL OF
THE FOLLOWING:


 


(a)       any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Credit Document, the agreements with respect to Cash Management Agreements provided by any
Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender, the applicable Letters of Credit provided by Issuing Banks, the Hedge Transactions with swap counterparties,
or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations being irrecoverable;


 


(b)      any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations
of any Person under the Credit Documents, any agreements with respect to Cash Management Services provided by any Lender or any affiliate
of a Lender, Letters of Credit issued by Issuing Banks, and the applicable Hedge Transactions with swap counterparties, or any other
amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Credit Document, any agreements with respect to Cash Management Obligations
provided by any Lender or an Affiliate of any Lender; any Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank and the applicable Hedge Transactions
with swap counterparties, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional
credit to the Borrower or otherwise;


 


(c)       any
taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure
from any other Guarantee, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;


 


(d)      any
manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other
disposition of any collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of any other Person under any Credit
Document, any Cash Management Agreement provided by any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender, any Letter of Credit issued by any Issuing
Bank and the applicable Hedge Transactions with swap counterparties or any other assets of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;


 


(e)       any
change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;


 


(f)       any
failure of any Secured Party to disclose to the Borrower or any Guarantor any information relating to the business, condition (financial
or otherwise), operations, properties or prospects of any Person now or in the future known to any Secured Party (and each Guarantor
hereby irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any Secured Party to disclose such information);


 






    Exhibit B - 3


     


    

 


(g)      any
signature of any officer or partner of the Borrower or any other Person being mechanically reproduced in facsimile or otherwise; or


 


(h)      any
other circumstance or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other guarantor, surety or other Person.


 


Section 4                CONTINUATION
AND REINSTATEMENT, ETC. EACH GUARANTOR AGREES THAT, TO THE EXTENT THAT PAYMENTS OF ANY OF THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS ARE MADE,
OR ANY SECURED PARTY RECEIVES ANY PROCEEDS OF COLLATERAL, AND SUCH PAYMENTS OR PROCEEDS OR ANY PART THEREOF ARE SUBSEQUENTLY INVALIDATED,
DECLARED TO BE FRAUDULENT OR PREFERENTIAL, SET ASIDE, OR OTHERWISE REQUIRED TO BE REPAID, THEN TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH REPAYMENT THE GUARANTEED
OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE REINSTATED AND CONTINUED IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT AS OF THE DATE SUCH INITIAL PAYMENT OR COLLECTION OF PROCEEDS
OCCURRED.


 


Section 5                Waivers
and Acknowledgments.


 


(a)       Each
Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, presentment, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed
Obligations and this Guarantee and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any Property
or exhaust any right or take any action against the Borrower or any other Person or any Collateral.


 


(b)      Each
Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guarantee, and, subject to Section 18, acknowledges that this Guarantee
is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.


 


(c)       Each
Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements involving the Borrower
contemplated by the Credit Documents, the agreements with respect to Cash Management Services provided by any Lender or an Affiliate
of any Lender, any Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank, and the applicable Hedge Transactions with swap counterparties, and that
the waivers set forth in this Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.


 


(d)      Each
Guarantor agrees it will permit officers and designated representatives of the Administrative Agent or officers and designated representatives
of the Majority Lenders (as accompanied by the Administrative Agent) to visit and inspect any of the properties or assets of such Guarantor
in whomsoever’s possession to the extent that it is within such party’s control to permit such inspection (and shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause such inspection to be permitted to the extent that it is not within such party’s control
to permit such inspection), and to examine the financial records of such Guarantor and discuss the affairs, finances, accounts and condition
of such Guarantor with its officers and independent accountants therefor, in each case of the foregoing upon reasonable advance notice
to such Guarantor, all at such reasonable times and intervals during normal business hours and to such reasonable extent as the Administrative
Agent or the Majority Lenders may desire (and subject, in the case of any such meetings or advice from such independent accountants,
to such accountants’ customary policies and procedures); provided that, excluding any such visits and inspections during the continuation
of an Event of Default only one such visit per fiscal year shall be at such Guarantor’s expense; provided, further, that when an
Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent (or any of its representatives or independent contractors) or any representative of
the Majority Lenders may do any of the foregoing at the expense of such Guarantor at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable
advance notice.


 






    Exhibit B - 4


     


    

 


Section 6                Subrogation
and Subordination.


 


(a)       Each
Guarantor will not exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower or any other Person to the extent
that such rights arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee
or any other Credit Document, or any agreements with respect to Cash Management Services provided by any Lender or an Affiliate of any
Lender, any Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank, and the applicable Hedge Transactions with swap counterparties, including, without
limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any
claim or remedy of any Secured Party against the Borrower or any other Person, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity
or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Borrower or any other
Person, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such
claim, remedy or right, unless and until the occurrence of the termination of all Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations
(other than contingent indemnification obligations, Cash Management Obligations and Hedging Obligations that survive the termination
of all Commitments). If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence at any time prior to the occurrence
of the termination of all Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations, Cash
Management Obligations and Hedging Obligations that survive the termination of all Commitments), such amount shall be held in trust for
the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed
Obligations and any and all other amounts payable by any Guarantor under this Guarantee, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance
with the terms of the Credit Documents.


 


(b)       Each
Guarantor hereby agrees that the payment of any and all Indebtedness now or hereafter owing to such Guarantor by the Borrower (herein
collectively called the “Subordinated Debt”) is and will be subordinate and junior in right of payment and enforcement
to the prior payment and enforcement in full of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations, Cash Management Obligations
and Hedging Obligations that survive the termination of all Commitments). Whenever any Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent
may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the Borrower and the Guarantors that no payment shall be made or accepted on any Subordinated
Debt, and upon receipt of such notice no Guarantor will make or receive any payment on Subordinated Debt unless and until the Obligations
(other than contingent indemnification obligations, Cash Management Obligations and Hedging Obligations that survive the termination
of all Commitments) are paid in full, all Events of Default are waived or cured, or the Administrative Agent consents to such payment.
In addition, whenever any Event of Default exists no Guarantor will exercise or enforce any creditors’ rights or remedies that
it may have against the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or foreclose, repossess, sequester, or otherwise institute any action or proceeding
(whether judicial or otherwise, including the commencement of any insolvency proceeding) to enforce any Subordinated Debt until the Obligations
(other than contingent indemnification obligations, Cash Management Obligations and Hedging Obligations that survive the termination
of all Commitments) are paid and performed in full, all Events of Default are waived or cured, or the Administrative Agent otherwise
consents.


 






    Exhibit B - 5


     


    

 


Section 7                REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES. AS OF THE DATE HEREOF, EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS AS FOLLOWS:


 


(a)       Such
Guarantor benefits from executing this Guarantee.


 


(b)       Such
Guarantor has, independently and without reliance upon any Secured Party and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Guarantee, and such Guarantor has established adequate means
of obtaining from the Borrower and each other relevant Person on a continuing basis information pertaining to, the business, condition
(financial and otherwise), operations, properties and prospects of the Borrower and each other relevant Person.


 


(c)       The
obligations of such Guarantor under this Guarantee are the valid, binding and legally enforceable obligations of such Guarantor (except
as limited by (i) applicable Debtor Relief Laws and (ii) general principles of equity whether applied by a court of law or
equity) and the execution and delivery of this Guarantee by such Guarantor has been duly and validly authorized in all respects by such
Guarantor, and the Person who is executing and delivering this Guarantee on behalf of such Guarantor has full power, authority and legal
right to so do, and to observe and perform all of the terms and conditions of this Guarantee on such Guarantor’s part to be observed
or performed.


 


Section 8                RIGHT
OF SET-OFF. UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT, ANY LENDER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND ANY
OTHER SECURED PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED AT ANY TIME, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TO SET OFF AND APPLY ANY DEPOSITS (GENERAL
OR SPECIAL, TIME OR DEMAND, PROVISIONAL OR FINAL) AND OTHER INDEBTEDNESS OWING BY SUCH SECURED PARTY TO THE ACCOUNT OF ANY GUARANTOR
AGAINST ANY AND ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS OF ANY GUARANTOR UNDER THIS GUARANTEE, IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER OR NOT SUCH SECURED PARTY
SHALL HAVE MADE ANY DEMAND UNDER THIS GUARANTEE AND ALTHOUGH SUCH OBLIGATIONS MAY BE CONTINGENT AND UNMATURED. SUCH SECURED PARTY
SHALL PROMPTLY NOTIFY ANY GUARANTOR AFTER ANY SUCH SET-OFF AND APPLICATION IS MADE, PROVIDED THAT THE FAILURE TO GIVE SUCH NOTICE SHALL
NOT AFFECT THE VALIDITY OF SUCH SET-OFF AND APPLICATION. THE RIGHTS OF THE SECURED PARTIES UNDER THIS SECTION 8 ARE IN ADDITION
TO OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, OTHER RIGHTS OF SET-OFF) WHICH ANY SECURED PARTY MAY HAVE.


 






    Exhibit B - 6


     


    








 


Section 9               AMENDMENTS, ETC.
NO AMENDMENT OR WAIVER OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS GUARANTEE AND NO CONSENT TO ANY DEPARTURE BY ANY GUARANTOR THEREFROM SHALL IN ANY EVENT
BE EFFECTIVE UNLESS THE SAME SHALL BE IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY EACH AFFECTED GUARANTOR AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (ACTING AS PERMITTED
UNDER THE CREDIT AGREEMENT), AND THEN SUCH WAIVER OR CONSENT SHALL BE EFFECTIVE ONLY IN THE SPECIFIC INSTANCE AND FOR THE SPECIFIC PURPOSE
FOR WHICH GIVEN.


 


Section 10            NOTICES, ETC.

FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, each of the undersigned (each a “Payor”) hereby unconditionally promises to pay on demand
to each of the undersigned (each a “Payee”), in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available
funds, at such location in the United States of America as the applicable Payee shall from time to time designate, the unpaid principal
amount of all loans and advances made by such Payee to such Payor, including, without limitation, all loans and advances previously made
by such Payee to such Payor prior to the date hereof (each such loan and advance, whether made prior to the date hereof or from time to
time after the date hereof, an “Advance” and, collectively, the “Advances”). Each Payor promises
also to pay, in like money at said location, interest on the unpaid principal amount of all Advances at such rate per annum as shall be
agreed upon from time to time by such Payor and the applicable Payee from the date of each such Advance until the same shall have been
paid in full; provided, that in no event shall such interest rate exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest permitted to be paid
by such Payor to such Payee under applicable law. Each Payor shall have the right from time to time to prepay in whole or in part, without
notice or premium, any Advances owing by such Payor hereunder, together with any accrued but unpaid interest thereon. All payments under
this Master Intercompany Note (this “Note”) shall be made without offset, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, unless
expressly permitted in writing by the applicable Payee. It is contemplated that there may be times when no Advances are owing hereunder;
but notwithstanding such occurrences, this Note shall remain valid and shall be in full force and effect as to Advances made pursuant
to and under the terms of this Note subsequent to each such occurrence.


 


Each Payee is hereby authorized
to record all Advances made by it to any Payor (all of which shall be evidenced by this Note), and all repayments or prepayments thereof,
in its books and records, including on Annex A hereto (as such Annex A may be supplemented from time to time) such books and records
constituting prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information contained therein; provided, that the failure by any Payee
to record any Advance shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of such Payee with respect to such Advance. Upon the earlier
to occur of (i) commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of debt, relief of debtors, dissolution,
insolvency or liquidation or similar proceeding of any jurisdiction relating to any Payor or (ii) any exercise of remedies (including
the termination of the Commitments (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) pursuant to Article XI of the Credit Agreement,
the unpaid principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon of all Advances made to such Payor shall become immediately due
and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind in connection with this Note.


 






    Exhibit H - 1


     


    

 


Each Payee that is not
a Credit Party (as defined in the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined)) under that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of January 11,
2017 (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”),
by and among Kimbell Royalty Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, as borrower, the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A.,
as administrative agent, hereby agrees that payment of the principal of, and interest on, this Note owed to such Payee by a Payor that
is a Credit Party under the Credit Agreement is expressly subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full, on
a first-priority basis, of all obligations of each Payor that is a Credit Party under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents
(as defined in the Credit Agreement) (it being understood that so long as no Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall
have occurred and be continuing, all payments of principal and interest hereunder are permitted), and each Payor agrees that no payment
or distribution to the Payees pursuant to the provisions of this Note shall entitle it to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect
thereof until the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall have been paid in full and the Commitments (as defined in the
Credit Agreement) shall have terminated.


 


Each Payor, for itself and
its successors and assigns, waives presentment, demand, protest and notice thereof or of dishonor and waives the right to be released
by reason of any extension of time or other indulgences or change in the terms of payment or any change, alteration or release of any
security given for the payment hereof, in each case in connection with this Note. This Note may be amended, modified or supplemented only
by an instrument in writing executed by each Payor and each Payee. This Note shall be binding upon each Payor and its respective successors
and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the applicable Payee and its respective successors and assigns, it being understood that
(i) no Payor may assign its rights or obligations under this Note without the prior written consent of each Payee and (ii) each
Payee may assign its rights under this Note without the consent of any Payor.


 


Upon the execution and delivery
to the Payees after the date hereof by any person of a counterpart signature page hereto, such person shall become a Payor hereunder
