Swap Contract to the Swap Bank from the Borrower or any payment due from a Physical Trade Bank pursuant to a physical trade settlement that is held by such Physical Trade Bank as cash collateral to cover obligations owing under a Physical Trade

the case may be) that may be included in the calculation of the amount determined under clause (a) above shall be limited to the applicable amount set forth opposite such SPT Bank under the heading “Maximum Swap Bank Close-Out
Amount” and “Maximum Physical Trade Bank Close-Out Amount;” provided further that with respect to any SPT Bank that together with any other SPT Bank comprises a Cross-Affiliate Pair, the “Permitted SPT Bank
Close-Out Amount” shall be determined on a consolidated basis as though the two SPT Banks comprising such Cross-Affiliate Pair are one SPT Bank, as follows, the calculation of the amount to be determined under clause (a) above shall be the
sum (which shall not be less than zero) of the aggregate Swap Bank Close-Out Amounts and the aggregate Physical Trade Bank Close-Out Amounts for both SPT Banks comprising such Cross-Affiliate Pair (as may be limited, in the case of each SPT Bank, by

 ARTICLE II  
 SHARING 
 2.01 Sharing after Sharing Event. 
 (a) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, from and after the date of the occurrence of any Sharing Event, the
provisions of Sections 2.01(b) through (k) hereof shall apply rather than Section 2.11(a) of the Credit Agreement: 
 (b) (i) Both (x) the proceeds of all Collateral included in the then most recent Borrowing Base Collateral Position Report and each subsequent Borrowing Base Collateral Position Report (and all other
Collateral not included in any such report) and (y) any other Payments received by the Agent, any Bank or any SPT Bank shall be applied to payment of and/or cash collateral for (1) first, the Obligations (A) arising from the
Borrowing Base Line (which, for the avoidance of doubt shall not include any Unilateral Overage Advance obligations), (B) with respect to the Permitted Unilateral Overage Advance Amounts and (C) with respect to the Permitted SPT Bank
Close-Out Amounts (other than amounts arising under Swap Obligations or Physical Trade Obligations excluded from the calculation of Swap Bank Close-Out Amounts under Section 2.01(i) and Physical Trade Bank Close-Out Amounts under
Section 2.01(j), respectively), and (2) second, Obligations with respect to (A) the Excess SPT Bank Close-Out Amounts, (B) the Excess Unilateral Overage Advance Amounts, and (C) Swap Obligations and Physical
Trade Obligations excluded from the calculation of Swap Bank Close-Out Amounts under Section 2.01(i) and Physical Trade Bank Close-Out Amounts under Section 2.01(j), respectively, in each case under clause first above
ratably in accordance with each Bank’s, Swap Bank’s and Physical Trade Bank’s Adjusted Pro Rata Share, as applicable, and in each case under clause second above ratably in accordance with the amount of such
Obligations; provided that, if any such report is not correct and complete in any material respect (as determined by the Agent is its sole, good faith discretion), the Agent shall use reasonable efforts to

  

 5 








 
correct any error or deficiency prior to making such application. Such proceeds and Payments applied to Obligations arising from the Borrowing Base Line, Swap Obligations and Physical Trade
Obligations shall be applied in accordance with Sections 2.01(b) through (j). 
 (ii) If any Bank,
Swap Bank or Physical Trade Bank shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it under the Borrowing Base Line or any other Obligations owed to it any Payment in excess of its Adjusted Pro Rata Share, such Bank, Swap Bank or Physical Trade Bank
shall immediately (A) notify the Agent of such fact, and (B) purchase from the other Banks, Swap Banks and Physical Trade Banks such participations in the Loans made by them under the Borrowing Base Line and other Obligations owed to them
as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank, Swap Bank or Physical Trade Bank to share the excess payment pro rata, in accordance with the Adjusted Pro Rata Share, with each of them; provided, however, if all or any
portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Bank, Swap Bank or Physical Trade Bank, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Bank, Swap Bank and Physical Trade Bank shall repay to the purchasing
Bank, Swap Bank or Physical Trade Bank the purchase price paid to it therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Bank’s, Swap Bank’s or Physical Trade Bank’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (1) the amount
of such paying Bank’s, Swap Bank’s or Physical Trade Bank’s required repayment to (2) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Bank, Swap Bank or Physical Trade Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by
the purchasing Bank, Swap Bank or Physical Trade Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Bank, Swap Bank or Physical Trade Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank, Swap Bank or Physical Trade Bank
may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 11.09 of the Credit Agreement) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank, Swap Bank
or Physical Trade Bank were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this
Section and will in each case notify the Banks, Swap Banks and Physical Trade Banks following any such purchases or repayments. 
 (iii) The provisions of Sections 2.01(b)(ii) and 2.01(f) shall not apply to Payments to the Banks with respect to interest on the Loans, L/C Borrowings, Physical Trade Obligations (if any),
Swap Obligations (if any) or fees payable pursuant to Sections 2.09 and 3.08 of the Credit Agreement. 
 (iv) For purposes of applying the provisions of Sections 2.01(b)(ii) and 2.01(f), the Adjusted Pro Rata Share shall be calculated initially as soon as practicable after the date of the Sharing Event and, thereafter, pursuant
to Section 2.01(f), shall be recalculated from time to time. Such recalculations shall (A) in all cases, except the recalculation pursuant to Section 2.01(f) as of the Final Date, be made in accordance with the
definition of Adjusted Pro Rata Share, but shall be made (1) as of the date of such recalculation, and (2) solely to give effect to (x) increases and decreases in any Permitted SPT Bank Close-Out Amounts as a result of fluctuations in
market values and interest rates and (y) new Loans and L/C Obligations under the Borrowing Base Line arising on or after the date of the Sharing Event, to the extent such new Loans or L/C Obligations have been consented to by the Required Banks
without regard to the application of Payments pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(ii) or payments made pursuant to Section 2.01(f) and (B) in the case of the final recalculation as of the Final Date, be made in accordance with
the definition of Adjusted Pro Rata Share but as of the date of recalculation. 
  

 6 








 (c) After the date of the occurrence of any Sharing Event, if any SPT Bank
Close-Out Amount due to any Swap Bank or any Physical Trade Bank from the Borrower shall increase or decrease as a result of changes in market values or interest rates: 
 (i) In the event of any such increase, nothing contained herein shall modify or impair any right of such Swap Bank to
terminate its Swap Contract or such Physical Trade Bank to terminate its Physical Trade Contract or exercise any other rights or remedies available to it, and any such Swap Bank or Physical Trade Bank may also, in its sole discretion from time to
time, notify the Agent of such increase, who shall promptly notify the Banks of such increase. If all Banks determine in their sole discretion to approve a Loan to the Borrower for the purpose of providing cash collateral in the amount of such
increase to such Swap Bank or Physical Trade Bank, then all such Banks shall make such Loan in such amount which shall be disbursed to such Swap Bank or Physical Trade Bank and the Swap Bank or Physical Trade Bank shall apply the proceeds of such
Loan to the cash collateralization of the obligations under the relevant Swap Contract or Physical Trade Contract; provided that (A) the payment of such funds to the Swap Bank or Physical Trade Bank for use as such cash collateral shall
be deemed not to constitute a Payment hereunder, and (B) no such Loan shall, without consent of all the Banks, cause the sum of the Effective Amounts of all outstanding Loans plus L/C Obligations to exceed the aggregate Committed Line Portions
or the Effective Amount of all outstanding Loans plus L/C Obligations to exceed the Borrowing Base Advance Cap. 
 (ii) Each Swap Bank or Physical Trade Bank shall, at the Agent’s request, notify the Agent not later than five (5) Business Days after the date of a Sharing Event of its SPT Bank Close-Out Amount as of the date of such Sharing
Event and not later than five (5) Business Days after each month of the amount of its SPT Bank Close-Out Amount and the components thereof as of the last Business Day of the preceding month. 
 (d) If an Event of Default occurs, the Agent shall, if instructed by Required Banks in their sole discretion, notify any or
all of the Swap Banks to terminate any or all Swap Contracts, exercise the right to draw under any letter of credit supporting payment of the Borrower’s Obligations under the Swap Contracts or realize on collateral held by such Swap Banks for
such Obligations, or any combination of such rights and remedies. Each of the Swap Banks shall, on the next Business Day after receipt of such notice, or on such later Business Day as is set forth in such notice, terminate all or any of its Swap
Contracts and exercise such other remedies, all as set forth in such notice, except if prohibited from doing so by applicable law or court order. The foregoing shall not limit the right of any Swap Bank to terminate any or all Swap Contracts to the
extent permitted by its Swap Contracts prior to receipt of such notice. 
 (e) If an Event of Default occurs, the
Agent shall, if instructed by Required Banks in their sole discretion, notify any or all of the Physical Trade Banks to terminate any or all Physical Trade Contracts, exercise the right to draw under any letter of credit supporting payment of the
Borrower’s Obligations under the Physical Trade Contracts or realize on collateral held by such Physical Trade Banks for such Obligations, or any combination of such rights and remedies. Each of the Physical Trade Banks shall, on the next
Business Day after receipt of such notice, or on such later Business Day as is set forth in such notice, terminate all or any of its Physical Trade Contracts and exercise such other remedies, all as set forth in such notice, except if prohibited
from doing so by applicable law or court order. The foregoing shall not limit the right of any Physical Trade Bank to terminate any or all Physical Trade Contracts to the extent permitted by its Physical Trade Contracts prior to receipt of such
notice. 
  

 7 








 (f) Each Swap Bank and Physical Trade Bank shall promptly notify the Agent,
within one (1) Business Day following the Agent’s request from time to time, of the SPT Bank Close-Out Amount due to such Swap Bank or such Physical Trade Bank on a particular date. The Agent shall, upon request of any Bank, notify the
Banks each week of the gross and net SPT Bank Close-Out Amount due to each Swap Bank and each Physical Trade Bank. The Agent shall, at the request of any Bank (but not more than one time each month unless the Agent consents to do so) and promptly
after the date of termination of all Swap Contracts and all Physical Trade Contracts which are counted for purposes of determining SPT Bank Close-Out Amounts (the “Final Date”), recalculate the Adjusted Pro Rata Share as provided in
Section 2.01(b)(iv). In the case of the recalculation as of the Final Date, only, the Agent shall notify the Banks, Swap Banks and Physical Trade Banks as to any adjustment in prior payments and distributions to them as a result of such
recalculation. Each Bank, Swap Bank and Physical Trade Bank shall promptly upon receipt of such notice pay to the Agent for distribution to the other Banks, Swap Banks and Physical Trade Banks such amounts, if any, as shall be specified in each such
notice. Such calculations and adjustments shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 
 (g)
[RESERVED]. 
 (h) If, in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Agent recalculates the Adjusted Pro Rata
Share more than once in any calendar month, the Borrower shall, upon the Agent’s request, immediately pay an administrative fee for the account of the Agent in an amount equal to $2,500 for each such recalculation more than once in any calendar
month. 
 (i) In order to qualify as a Swap Bank Close-Out Amount under a Swap Contract, such Swap Contract must
provide for calculation of payments due on an “early termination date” or its equivalent or upon a “termination date” or its equivalent on the basis of Market Quotations (as defined in the applicable ISDA Master Agreement) or its
equivalent. If (i) any Swap Bank shall receive notice of the occurrence of a Sharing Event and thereafter shall enter into any new Swap Contract or amendment of any Swap Contract without consent of the Required Banks or (ii) any Swap Bank
shall receive notice from the Required Banks following the declaration of an Event of Default to terminate any or all Swap Contracts, but fails to immediately do so, then unless otherwise agreed by the Required Banks, any increases in the Swap Bank
Close-Out Amount owing to any Swap Bank resulting therefrom shall be excluded in calculating Swap Bank Close-Out Amounts. 
 (j) In order to qualify as a Physical Trade Bank Close-Out Amount under a Physical Trade Contract, such Physical Trade Contract must provide for calculation of payments due on an “early termination
date” or its equivalent or upon a “termination date” or its equivalent on the basis of Market Quotations (as defined in the applicable ISDA Master Agreement) or its equivalent. If (i) any Physical Trade Bank shall receive notice
of the occurrence of a Sharing Event and thereafter shall enter into any new Physical Trade Contract or amendment of any Physical Trade Contract without consent of the Required Banks or (ii) any Physical Trade Bank shall receive notice from the
Required Banks following the declaration of an Event of Default to terminate any or all Physical Trade Contracts, but fails to immediately do so, then unless otherwise agreed by the Required Banks, any increases in the Physical Trade Bank Close-Out
Amount owing to any Physical Trade Bank resulting therefrom shall be excluded in calculating Physical Trade Bank Close-Out Amounts. 
 (k) Each Bank, Swap Bank and Physical Trade Bank party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that the security interests granted in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties are
subject in right of priority to each

Cross- Affiliate Netting Lien and that proceeds of any Collateral pledged by the Borrower to a Cross-Affiliate Creditor pursuant to a Cross-Affiliate Netting Lien shall be distributed

pursuant to any participation purchased or sold under Section 2.01 hereof shall be paid to or by the Bank that is the Affiliate of such Swap Bank. Each such Bank irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to pay such obligations of the Swap
Bank that is its Affiliate. Each of the Banks shall also cause its affiliated Swap Bank to comply with all provisions of Section 2.01 hereof. 
 (b) Each Swap Bank that is an Affiliate of a Bank hereby appoints the Agent as its agent for purposes of the Security Agreements; provided that, (i) no Swap Bank shall have any right, remedy
