 W I T N E S S E T H:

exceed $25,000,000. 
 C. The Borrower, the Parent and the Guarantors desire to secure, among other specified obligations, all of the DIP
Obligations (as defined herein) by granting to the DIP Agent, for the benefit of the DIP Secured Parties (as defined herein), a security interest in and Lien on substantially all of the property and assets of the Credit Parties, subject to the
limitations described herein and, when entered, the DIP Orders. 
 D. The Guarantors desire to guarantee, among other specified obligations,
all of the DIP Obligations. 
 E. The Lenders are willing to extend such credit to the Borrower, on the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth herein and, when entered, the DIP Orders. 
 Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

ARTICLE I 
 DEFINITIONS 

SECTION 1.01. Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings specified below: 

“13-Week Budget” means a thirteen-week rolling operating budget and cash flow forecast, in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to the DIP Agent, which shall reflect the Borrower’s good faith projection of all weekly cash receipts and disbursements in connection with the operation of the Credit Parties’ and their respective Subsidiaries’ business
during such thirteen-week period, including but not limited to, collections, payroll, capital expenditures and other major cash outlays, as such budget and forecast may be updated from time to time as required under Section 5.01(o). 

 







 “ABR”, when used in reference to any Loan or Borrowing, refers to whether such
Loan, or the Loans comprising such Borrowing, are bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate. 

“Adequate Protection Liens” has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Interim Order or, upon entry of the Final DIP Order,
in the Final DIP Order, as applicable. 
 “Adequate Protection Payments” means the adequate protection payments to the
Prepetition Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the DIP Order 
 “Adjusted LIBO Rate” means, with respect to any
Borrowing for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to (a) the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rate. 

“Administrative Questionnaire” means an Administrative Questionnaire in a form supplied by the DIP Agent. 

“Advance Payment Contract” means (a) any production payment (whether volumetric or dollar denominated) granted or sold
by any Credit Party payable from a specified share of proceeds received from production from specified Oil and Gas Properties, together with all undertakings and obligations in connection therewith, or (b) any contract whereby any Credit Party
receives or becomes entitled to receive (either directly or indirectly) any payment (an “Advance Payment”) as consideration for (i) Hydrocarbons produced or to be produced from Oil and Gas Properties owned by any Credit Party
in advance of the delivery of such Hydrocarbons (and regardless of whether such Hydrocarbons are actually produced or actual delivery is required) to or for the account of the purchaser thereof or (ii) a right or option to receive such
Hydrocarbons (or a cash payment in lieu of such Hydrocarbons); provided that inclusion of customary and standard “take or pay” provisions in any gas sales or purchase contract or any other similar contract shall not, in and of
itself, cause such gas sales or purchase contract to constitute an Advance Payment Contract for the purposes of this definition. 

“Affiliate” means, with respect to a specified Person, another Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more
intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Person specified. 
 “Aggregate Commitment
Amount” means, $25,000,000, as reduced from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof. 
 “Aggregate Conditional DIP
Commitment Amount” means $5,000,000. 
 “Aggregate Final DIP Commitment Amount” means $10,000,000.

 “Agreement” means this Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement, as it may be
amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time. 
 “Alternate Base Rate” means, for
any day, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Wells Fargo Bank as its “prime rate”, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate
in effect on such date plus 1/2 of 1.00%, and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period for such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1.00%, provided that, for the

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

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

time prior to the date the Final DIP Loan are funded, reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and

Commitment of any Lender shall be increased by the Granite Wash Excess Amount, if any). Such Unused Commitment Fee shall be calculated on the basis of a year consisting of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and shall be payable in arrears on the
last day of each calendar month and on the Maturity Date for any period then ending for which the Unused Commitment Fee shall not have been previously paid. In the event the Commitments terminate on any date other than the last day of a calendar
month, the Borrower agrees to pay to the DIP Agent, for the account of each Lender (excluding any Defaulting Lenders), on the date of such termination, each such Lender’s Unused Commitment Fee due for the period from the last day of the
immediately preceding calendar month to the date such termination occurs. 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the DIP Agent, for the
account of each Lender (excluding any Defaulting Lenders) a closing fee (the “Closing Fee”) of 0.50% of the principal amount of each Loan advanced by such Lender, such fee to be earned and due and payable on the date each such Loan
is advanced (it being agreed that in the event the Net Cash Proceeds of the Granite Wash Sale equal to the Granite Wash Excess Amount is used to repay the Loans which are then readvanced, this fee shall not be payable with respect to the readvanced
Loans). 
 (c) Upon any extension of the Maturity Date with the consent of all Lenders, the Borrower agrees to pay to the DIP Agent, for the
account of each Lender (excluding any Defaulting Lenders) an extension fee equal to (i) for any extension not exceeding three (3) months, 0.25% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans made by such Lender,
(ii) for any extension exceeding three (3) months but not exceeding six (6) months, 0.50% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans made by such Lender, and (iii) for any extension exceeding six
(6) months, 1.00% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans made by such Lender, in each case such fees earned and payable upon the effective date of such extension. 

(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the DIP Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed to in the
Fee Letter. 
 (e) All fees payable to the Lenders hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the DIP
Agent for distribution, in the case of Unused Commitment Fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances, except in the case of any overpayment due to erroneous calculation or invoicing thereof.

 SECTION 2.13. Interest. 

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus 5.00%. 

(b) Eurodollar Loans shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate per annum for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus
6.00%. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Borrowing shall bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to interest rate in effect from time to time pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above, as applicable, plus 2.00% per annum (the “Default Rate”). 

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the
Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or
prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the
effective date of such conversion. 
 (e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest
computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on Well Fargo Bank’s “prime rate” shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case
shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the DIP Agent, and such determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. 
 SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period
for a Eurodollar Borrowing: 
 (a) the DIP Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or 

(b) the DIP Agent is advised by the Requisite Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest
Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 

then the DIP Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the DIP
Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar
Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 

  
 37 








 SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs. 

(a) If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan
requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or 

(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or
Loans made by such Lender; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of
maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to
such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding
company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to
such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may
be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 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 10
Business Days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall
not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270
days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the
Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

  
 38 








 SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(b) and is
revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05 or Section 2.19,
then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined
by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the
period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the
amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks
in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower
shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 SECTION 2.17. Taxes.

 (a) General.Each payment by any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such
withholding is required by law. If any Withholding Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Withholding Agent may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of
withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by any Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that net of such withholding (including
withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made. 

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) Evidence of Payment. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by any
Credit Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the DIP Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other
evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the DIP Agent. 

  
 39 








 (d) Indemnification by the Borrower and the Parent. The Borrower and the Parent shall
jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes that are paid or payable by such Recipient in connection with any Loan Document (including amounts paid or payable under this Section 2.17(d)) and any reasonable expenses
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.17(d) shall be paid within 10 days after
the Recipient delivers to the Borrower a certificate stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so paid or payable by such Recipient or Beneficial Owner and describing the basis for the indemnification claim. Such certificate shall be conclusive of
the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Such Recipient shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the DIP Agent. 
 (e)
Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the DIP Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the DIP Agent for such Indemnified
Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and the Parent to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the DIP Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.17(e) shall be paid within 10 days after the DIP Agent or the applicable Credit
Party (as applicable) delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the DIP Agent or the Borrower (as applicable). Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent
manifest error. 
 (f) Status of Lenders. 

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any
payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the DIP Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the DIP Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the DIP Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the DIP Agent,
shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the DIP Agent as will enable the Borrower or the DIP Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup
withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences and except as otherwise required by applicable law, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other
than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(f)(ii)(A) through (E) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or
expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the DIP Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this
Section 2.17(f). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after
such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify such Borrower and the DIP Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so. 

  
 40 








 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is a U.S.
Person, any Lender with respect to such Borrower shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the DIP Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by such Borrower and the DIP Agent) on or prior to the date on
which such Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable: 

(A) in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup
withholding tax; 
 (B) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the
United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan 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
“interest” article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement, 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; 

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender for whom payments under this Agreement constitute income that is effectively connected
with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI; 
 (D) in the case of a
Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, and (2) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E
(a “U.S. Tax Certificate”) to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the
meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (d) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant
interest payments are effectively connected; 
 (E) in the case of a Foreign Lender that is not the Beneficial Owner of
payments made under this Agreement (including a partnership or a participating Lender) (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) of this paragraph
(f)(ii) that would be required of each such Beneficial Owner or partner of such partnership if such Beneficial Owner or partner were a Lender; provided, however, that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the
exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Certificate on behalf of such partners; or 

  
 41 








 (F) any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a
reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the Borrower or the DIP Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld. 

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA
if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or
times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding 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 Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, as
necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(f)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a
refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified or Other Taxes paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount
equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or such Other Taxes paid, under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such indemnified
party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid
such indemnified party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in this Section 2.17(g), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.17(g) to the extent that such
payment would place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.
This Section 2.17(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement
of, a Lender, and the Discharge of DIP Obligations. 

  
 42 








 SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. 

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, or fees, or of amounts payable
under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, Dallas, Texas time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the
discretion of the DIP Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the DIP Agent at its offices as set forth in Section 11.01(a),
except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The DIP Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate
recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest,
interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars. 
 (b) Subject to
Section 7.03, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the DIP Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest
and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. 
 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right
of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest
thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such
payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of
the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to
any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or
participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable
law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the
Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (d) Unless the DIP Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on
which any payment is due to the DIP Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the DIP Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in 

  
 43 








 fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the DIP Agent forthwith on demand
the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the DIP Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a
rate determined by the DIP Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make
any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 11.03, then the DIP Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by
the DIP Agent for the account of such Lender and for the benefit of the DIP Agent to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a
segregated account over which the DIP Agent shall have exclusive control as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under such Sections; in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, in any order
as determined by the DIP Agent in its discretion. 
 SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or
any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be,
in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in
connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower
is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender fails to execute an amendment or waiver
with respect to the Loan Documents that is executed by the Supermajority Lenders, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the DIP Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender
accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the DIP Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount
equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in
the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a
reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such
assignment and delegation cease to apply. 

  
 44 








 SECTION 2.20. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a); and

 (b) the Commitment and Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, the Requisite
Lenders or the Supermajority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 11.02); provided that (i) such Defaulting Lender’s
Commitment may not be increased or extended without its consent and (ii) the principal amount of, or interest or fees payable on, Loans may not be reduced or excused or the scheduled date of payment may not be postponed as to such Defaulting
Lender without such Defaulting Lender’s consent.

 SECTION 5.21. Keepwell. Subject to the Final DIP Order, the
Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Credit Party to honor all of its obligations under any Guaranty or any Lender Swap

Section 5.21 or otherwise under the Loan Documents voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of the Borrower under this
Section 5.21 shall remain in full force and effect until the DIP Obligations have been repaid in full and the Commitments and this Agreement have terminated. The Borrower intends that this Section 5.21 constitute, and this
Section 5.21 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 

SECTION 5.22. Budget Compliance and Permitted Variances. Subject to the Permitted Variance and any Carry Forward Amount, the Borrower
shall not make expenditures or permit any Subsidiary to make expenditures in excess of the amounts set forth in the Approved Budget for any period (other than Professional Fees to the extent approved by the Bankruptcy Court). The Budget shall be
tested weekly on the Weekly Test Date on a cumulative basis for any portion of the Budget period then ended. 
 The Credit Parties shall deliver to the
Lenders on each Weekly Test Date a variance report for the then-ended Budget period comparing actual disbursements (“Actual Cumulative Disbursements”) for such period to cumulative disbursements (“Budgeted Cumulative
Disbursements”) in each case, other than Professional Fees, respectively, for such period as forecast in the Approved Budget, which variance report shall include, inter alia, the then current aged accounts payable listing and the then
current “AFE vs. Actual” report for all capital expenditure projects in excess of $1,000,000. 

  
 67 








 Actual Cumulative Disbursements (other than disbursements on account of Professional Fees) for such period may
not vary as tested on May 19, 2016, and on each Weekly Test Date thereafter, from Budgeted Cumulative Disbursements (other than disbursements on account of Professional Fees) as reflected in the most recently delivered Approved Budget by more
than 20% or by such greater amount as agreed upon by the Requisite Lenders (the “Permitted Variance”). The Permitted Variance shall not be included in any Carry Forward Amount. 

The monthly line item for “Professional Fees” shall be on an accrual basis in the full amount of estimated Professional Fees, even though not
payable under the Bankruptcy Code until “allowed” (including allowed on a monthly and/or interim basis).

 SECTION 7.02. Rights Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default, the DIP Agent may, and at
the request of the Requisite Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, and
(ii) upon five (5) Business Days’ written notice to the Credit Parties from DIP Agent, acting on instruction of the Requisite Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion (such notice, a “Remedies Notice”), the
automatic stay of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be automatically vacated without further order of the Bankruptcy Court, without the need for filing any motion for relief from the automatic stay or any other pleading, for the limited
purpose of permitting the DIP Agent, on behalf of the DIP Secured Parties, to do any of the following: (A) enforce any and all liens and security interests created pursuant to any of the Loan Documents or any other document purporting to create
a lien in favor of the Lenders (or otherwise foreclose on the Collateral), including, without limitation assuming control over the use of cash in any cash collateral accounts; (B) enforce all rights under the Guaranties; (C) charge the
Default Rate of interest on the Loans; (D) declare the Loans and other Obligations to be due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each Credit Party, and
(v) exercise any and all of its or their other rights and remedies (whether as a secured creditor or otherwise) under the Loan Documents and under applicable law (including, but not limited to, the Bankruptcy Code and the Uniform Commercial
Code as in effect from time to time in any applicable jurisdiction). In connection with any sale of any of the Credit Parties’ assets under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, or any equivalent thereof under
any other law, the DIP Agent, at the direction of the Requisite Lenders, shall have the absolute right to credit bid any portion, up to the full amount, of all DIP Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the
Remedies Notice is a one-time requirement and is not required to be delivered with each exercise of remedies. 
 In the case of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the DIP Agent and the Lenders will have all other rights and remedies available at law and equity and as provided in the DIP Orders. 

SECTION 7.03. Application of Payments. Any amount received by the DIP Agent from the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder or
under any of the Collateral Documents shall be applied by the DIP Agent to payment of the DIP Obligations in the following order unless a court of competent jurisdiction shall otherwise direct: 

  
 81 








 (a) FIRST, to payment of all reasonable costs and expenses of the DIP Agent incurred in
connection with the collection and enforcement of the DIP Obligations or of any security interest granted to the DIP Agent in connection with any collateral securing the DIP Obligations; 

(b) SECOND, to payment of that portion of the DIP Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest and fees, pro rata among the DIP
Secured Parties in accordance with the amount of such accrued and unpaid interest and fees owing to each of them; 
 (c) THIRD, to
payment of that portion of the DIP Obligations constituting obligations and liabilities of the Credit Parties with respect to principal on the Loans and the other DIP Obligations, including Lender Swap Obligations, pro rata among the DIP Secured
Parties in accordance with their respective shares of the aggregate amount of the principal of the DIP Obligations; 
 (d) FOURTH, to
payment of all other DIP Obligations, pro rata among the DIP Secured Parties in accordance with their respective shares of the aggregate amount of such DIP Obligations; and 

(e) FIFTH, any surplus thereafter remaining shall be paid to the Borrower or the other Debtors as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts received from the Borrower or any other Credit Party that is not an “eligible contract
participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder shall not be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations (it being understood, that in the event that any amount is applied to DIP Obligations other than
Excluded Swap Obligations as a result of this paragraph, the DIP Agent shall make such adjustments as it determines are appropriate to distributions pursuant to clause (c) above from amounts received from “eligible contract
participants” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder to ensure, as nearly as possible, that the proportional aggregate recoveries with respect to DIP Obligations described in clause (c) above by the
holders of any Excluded Swap Obligations are the same as the proportional aggregate recoveries with respect to other DIP Obligations pursuant to clause (c) above). 

ARTICLE VIII 
 THE DIP AGENT 

SECTION 8.01. Appointment; Powers. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the DIP Agent as its agent and authorizes the DIP
Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the DIP Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 

SECTION 8.02. Agents as Lenders. The bank serving as the DIP Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a
Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the DIP Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Parent, the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the DIP Agent hereunder. 

  
 82 








 SECTION 8.03. Duties and Obligations of DIP Agent. The DIP Agent shall not have any duties
or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the DIP Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is
continuing, (b) the DIP Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the DIP Agent is required to exercise in
writing as directed by the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the DIP Agent shall
not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as DIP Agent or any of its
Affiliates in any capacity. The DIP Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section 11.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (IT BEING THE INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT THE DIP AGENT BE INDEMNIFIED IN THE CASE OF ITS OWN NEGLIGENCE (OTHER THAN
GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT), REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH NEGLIGENCE IS SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE, IMPUTED, JOINT OR TECHNICAL). The DIP Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written
notice thereof is given to the DIP Agent by the Parent, the Borrower or a Lender, and the DIP Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in
connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or
conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere
herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the DIP Agent. 
 SECTION 8.04. Reliance by DIP
Agent. The DIP Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed or sent by the proper Person. The DIP Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The DIP Agent may
consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel,
accountants or experts. 
 SECTION 8.05. Subagents. The DIP Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and
powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the DIP Agent. The DIP Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise 

  
 83 








 
its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the DIP
Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as DIP Agent. 

SECTION 8.06. Resignation or Removal of DIP Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor DIP Agent as provided in
this paragraph, the DIP Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall
have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring DIP Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring DIP Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor DIP
Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as DIP Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring DIP Agent, and the retiring DIP Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor DIP Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the DIP Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring DIP Agent,
its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as DIP Agent. 

SECTION 8.07. No Reliance. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the DIP Agent or any other
Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the DIP
Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any
document furnished hereunder or thereunder. In this regard, each Lender acknowledges that Bracewell LLP is acting in this transaction as special counsel to the DIP Agent only. Each other party hereto will consult with its own legal counsel to the
extent that it deems necessary in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the matters contemplated herein and therein. 

SECTION 8.08. DIP 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 relative to the Borrower, the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, the DIP 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 DIP 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 are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the 

  
 84 








 
Lenders and the DIP Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the DIP Agent and their respective agents and counsel and
all other amounts due the Lenders and the DIP Agent under Section 11.03) 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 DIP Agent and, in the event that the DIP Agent shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Lenders, to pay to the DIP Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the DIP Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the DIP Agent under Section 11.03. 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the DIP 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 DIP Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. 

SECTION 8.09. Authority of DIP Agent to Execute Collateral Documents and Release Collateral and Liens. Each Lender hereby empower and
authorize the DIP Agent to execute and deliver to the Debtors on their behalf the Collateral Documents and all related financing statements and any financing statements, agreements, documents or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to
effect the purposes of the Collateral Documents. Each Lender hereby authorizes the DIP Agent to release any Collateral that is permitted to be sold or released pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby authorizes the DIP Agent
to execute and deliver to the Borrower, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, any and all releases of Liens, termination statements, assignments or other documents reasonably requested by the Borrower in connection with any sale or other
disposition of Property to the extent such sale or other disposition is permitted by the terms of Section 6.13 or is otherwise authorized by the terms of the Loan Documents. 

ARTICLE IX 
 GUARANTY 

SECTION 9.01. The Guaranty. Subject to Section 9.08 hereof, each of the Parent and each Subsidiary of the Parent party hereto
hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not as surety, the full and punctual payment when due (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, early termination, demand, declaration or otherwise, and at
all times thereafter), and performance of, the DIP Obligations, including but not limited to, any and all obligations owed to any Lender Swap Counterparty under each Lender Swap Agreement now or hereafter existing and all renewals, rearrangements,
increases, extensions for any period, substitutions, modifications, amendments or supplements in whole or in part of any of the DIP Obligations, including, without limitation, any such DIP Obligations incurred or accrued during the pendency of any
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other 

  
 85 








 
similar proceeding, whether or not allowed or allowable in such proceeding (including all such amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a)
of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §362(a), and the operation of Sections 502(b) and 506(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §502(b) and §506(b)) (collectively, the “Guaranteed
Obligations”). Upon failure by any Credit Party to pay when due any such amount, each of the Guarantors agrees that it shall forthwith on demand pay to the DIP Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and, if applicable, their Affiliates, the
amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Lender Swap Agreement, as the case may be. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each of the Guarantors waives any
right to require the DIP Secured Parties to sue the Borrower, any other guarantor, or any other Person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part
of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 SECTION 9.02. Guaranty Unconditional. Subject to Section 9.08 hereof, the obligations of each
of the Guarantors hereunder shall be unconditional, absolute and irrevocable and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by: 

(a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law
or otherwise, or any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; 

(b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any Lender Swap Agreement; 

(c) any addition, release, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for any obligation of the Borrower under this
Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Lender Swap Agreement, or any obligations of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any action or failure to act by the DIP Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender with respect
to any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; 
 (d) any change in the corporate existence, structure or
ownership of the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower, or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or its
assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower, or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; 

(e) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Guarantors may have at any time against the Borrower, any other guarantor
of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the DIP Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions; 

(f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower, or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations,
for any reason related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Lender Swap Agreement, or any provision of applicable law or 

  
 86 








 
regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Borrower, or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount payable by the
Borrower under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any Lender Swap Agreement; or (g) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, the DIP Agent, any Lender or
any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. 

SECTION 9.03. Discharge Only Upon Payment In Full; Reinstatement In Certain Circumstances. Each of the Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the Discharge of DIP Obligations has occurred. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount payable by the Borrower or any other party under this
Agreement, any Lender Swap Agreement, or any other Loan Document is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, each of the Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time. 
 SECTION 9.04.
Waivers. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, diligence, promptness, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at
any time any action be taken by any Person against the Borrower, any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other Person. 

SECTION 9.05. Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby agrees not to assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without
limitation, a claim for subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or otherwise, against any other Guarantor arising out of or by reason of this Guaranty or the obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the payment or securing or
purchasing of any of the Guaranteed Obligations by any of the Guarantors unless and until the Discharge of DIP Obligations has occurred. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Discharge of DIP
Obligations has not occurred, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for, the DIP Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, and shall forthwith be paid to the DIP Agent to be credited and
applied upon the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured; otherwise it shall be returned to remitter. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this
Agreement, any other Loan Documents, each Lender Swap Agreement and that the waiver set forth in this Section 9.05 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 

SECTION 9.06. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Lender Swap Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by each of the Guarantors
hereunder forthwith on demand by the DIP Agent made at the written request of the Requisite Lenders. 

  
 87 








 SECTION 9.07. Subordination of Indebtedness of any Guarantor to any other Guarantor to the
Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that: 
 (a) Any indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter owed
to any Guarantor or any other Guarantor, respectively, is hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.07. 

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if the DIP Agent so requests, any such indebtedness of the Borrower
or any Guarantor now or hereafter owed to any Guarantor or any other Guarantor, respectively, shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the DIP Secured Parties and shall be paid over to the DIP Agent for the benefit
of the DIP Secured Parties in kind on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the obligations of any Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term
“indebtedness” as used in this Section 9.07 shall not include amounts owed by the Borrower or any Guarantor to any Guarantor or any other Guarantor, respectively, for payments made by a Guarantor for taxes, payroll obligations,
third-party royalty obligations and operating expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business. 
 (c) Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, should any Guarantor fail to collect or enforce any such indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter owed to such Guarantor or any other Guarantor and pay the proceeds thereof to the DIP Agent,
the DIP Agent as each Guarantor’s attorney-in-fact may do such acts and sign such documents in such Guarantor’s name as the DIP Agent considers necessary or desirable to effect such collection, enforcement and/or payment. 

SECTION 9.08. Limitation on Obligations. 

(a) The provisions of this Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or
foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on
account of the amount of such Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Guarantors, the DIP Agent
or any Lender, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Guarantor’s “Maximum
Liability”). This Section 9.08(a) with respect to the Maximum Liability of the Guarantors is intended solely to preserve the rights of the DIP Secured Parties hereunder to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable
law, and no Guarantor or any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section 9.08(a) with respect to the Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be
rendered voidable under applicable law. 
 (b) Each Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time
exceed the Maximum Liability of each Guarantor, and may exceed the aggregate Maximum Liability of all other Guarantors, without impairing this Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the DIP Secured Parties hereunder. Nothing in this
Section 9.08(b) shall be construed to increase any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability. 

  
 88 








 (c) In the event any Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or
payments under this Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Guaranty, each other Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall
contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Pro Rata Share” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For the purposes hereof, each Non-Paying
Guarantor’s “Pro Rata Share” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying
Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate
amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from the Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying
Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Guarantors, the aggregate amount of all monies
received by such Guarantors from the Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this Section 9.08(c) shall affect any Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the
Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right
of payment to all the Guaranteed Obligations. The provisions of this Section 9.08(c) are for the benefit of both the DIP Secured Parties and the Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms
hereof. 
 SECTION 9.09. Application of Payments. All payments held by the DIP Agent or received by the DIP Agent or any DIP Secured
Party hereunder shall be applied by the DIP Agent or such DIP Secured Party to payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in the order set forth in Section 7.03. 

SECTION 9.10. No Waivers. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in this Guaranty, this Agreement, any other Loan
Document, any Lender Swap Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. 
 SECTION 9.11. No
Duty to Advise. Each of the Guarantors assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each other Guarantor’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the
Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each of the Guarantors assumes and incurs under this Guaranty, and agrees that neither the DIP Agent nor any DIP Secured Party has any duty to advise any of the Guarantors of

(ii) Such Credit Party will not acknowledge any transfer or encumbrance in respect of such investment property to or in
favor of any Person other than the DIP Agent or a Person designated by the DIP Agent in writing. 
 (d) To the extent the Equity Interest of
any Subsidiary of a Credit Party is in certificated form, upon the DIP Agent’s reasonable request, such Credit Party shall deliver all certificates or instruments at any time representing or evidencing such Equity Interest in such Subsidiary to
the DIP Agent, and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer or assignment, duly executed in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to the DIP Agent. The DIP Agent shall have the
right, at any time, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to transfer to or to register in the name of the DIP Agent or its nominee any Equity Interest in such Subsidiary. In addition, the DIP Agent shall have the
right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Equity Interest of such Subsidiaries for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations. 

SECTION 10.03. Delivery of Mortgages. Upon reasonable request from the DIP Agent, the applicable Credit Party shall deliver Mortgages

SECTION 10.04. Title to, Liens on, and Use of Collateral. Each Credit Party represents and warrants to the DIP Agent and the DIP
Secured Parties and agrees with the DIP Secured Parties that: (a) all of the Collateral owned by such Credit Party is and will (subject to dispositions permitted hereunder) continue to be owned by such Credit Party free and clear of all Liens
whatsoever, except for the Liens permitted under Section 6.02, (b) the Liens granted to the DIP Agent in the Collateral will not be junior in priority to any Lien other than the Carve Out and the Non-Primed Excepted Liens (to the
extent, and only to the extent, set forth in the DIP Orders), and (c) such Credit Party will use, store, and maintain the Collateral owned by such Credit Party consistent with past practice. The inclusion of proceeds in the Collateral shall not
be deemed to constitute any DIP Secured Party’s consent to any sale or other disposition of the Collateral except as expressly permitted herein. 

SECTION 10.05. Right to Cure. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon delivery of the Remedies
Notice in accordance with Section 7.02 (including the five (5) Business Days prior delivery time period required thereunder), the DIP Agent shall have the right to, at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders, pay any


  
 92 








 
amount or do any act required of any Credit Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (other than in respect of principal, interest or fees on the Loans) in order to preserve, protect,
maintain, or enforce the DIP Obligations, the Collateral, or the Liens granted to the DIP Agent therein, and which any Credit Party fails to pay or do, including payment of any judgment against any Credit Party, any insurance premium, any warehouse
charge, any finishing or processing charge, any landlord’s or bailee’s claim, and any other obligation secured by a Lien upon or with respect to the Collateral; provided that neither the DIP Agent nor the DIP Secured Parties shall pay any
amount (i) being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been maintained in accordance with GAAP or (ii) in respect of any Lien permitted under Section 6.02. All payments that the
DIP Agent makes under this Section 10.05 and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses that the DIP Agent pays or incurs in connection with any reasonable action taken by it hereunder shall be considered part of the DIP Obligations and shall
bear interest until repaid at the rate set forth in Section 2.7(c). Any payment made or other action taken by the DIP Agent under this Section 10.05 shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default
hereunder and to proceed thereafter as herein provided. 
 SECTION 10.06. Power of Attorney. Upon the occurrence of and during the
continuance of an Event of Default and upon delivery of the Remedies Notice in accordance with Section 7.02 (including the five (5) Business Days prior delivery time period required thereunder), each Credit Party hereby appoints the DIP
Agent and the DIP Agent’s designee(s) as such Credit Party’s attorney to sign such Credit Party’s name on any invoice, bill of lading, warehouse receipt, or other document of title relating to any Collateral, on drafts against
customers, on assignments of accounts, on notices of assignment, financing statements, and other public records and to file any such financing statements permitted under this Agreement by electronic means with or without a signature as authorized or
required by applicable law or filing procedure. Each Credit Party ratifies and approves all acts of such attorney. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the Discharge of DIP Obligations.  

SECTION 10.07. The DIP Secured Parties’ Rights, Duties, and Liabilities. The Credit Parties assume all responsibility and
liability arising from or relating to the use, sale, or other disposition of the Collateral. The DIP Obligations shall not be affected by any failure of any DIP Secured Party to take any steps to perfect the Liens granted to the DIP Agent or to
collect or realize upon the Collateral, nor shall loss of or damage to the Collateral release any Credit Party from any of the DIP Obligations. 

SECTION 10.08. Site Visits, Observations, and Testing. The DIP Secured Parties and their representatives will have the right at any
commercially reasonable time, and upon reasonable advance notice to the applicable Credit Party to enter and visit the Properties of any Credit Party constituting or containing Collateral for the purposes of observing or inspecting such Collateral.
The DIP Agent may examine, audit and make copies of any and all of the Credit Parties’ books and records and the Collateral and discuss the Credit Parties’ affairs with executive officers or managers of any Credit Party. No site visit,
observation, or inspection by the DIP Agent will result in a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or impose any liability on the DIP Secured Parties other than for damages incurred as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct by
the DIP Secured Parties as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The DIP Agent will make reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with any use of such Properties or any other property in exercising any
rights provided hereunder. 

  
 93 








 SECTION 10.09. Rights in Respect of Investment Property. During the existence of an Event
of Default and upon delivery of the Remedies Notice in accordance with Section 7.02 (including the five (5) Business Days prior delivery time period required thereunder), subject to any order of the Bankruptcy Court and the Bankruptcy
Code, (i) the DIP Agent may, or at the direction of the Requisite Lenders shall, upon written notice to the relevant Credit Party, transfer or register in the name of the DIP Agent or any of its nominees, for the benefit of the DIP Secured
Parties, any or all of the Collateral consisting of investment property, the proceeds thereof (in cash or otherwise), and all liens, security, rights, remedies, and claims of any Credit Party with respect thereto (collectively, the “Pledged
Collateral”) held by the DIP Agent hereunder, and the DIP Agent or its nominee may thereafter, after written notice to the applicable Credit Party, exercise all voting and corporate rights at any meeting of any corporation, partnership, or
other business entity issuing any of the Pledged Collateral and any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription, or any other rights, privileges, or options pertaining to any of the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner
thereof, including the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, or other readjustment of any corporation, partnership, or other business entity
issuing any of such Pledged Collateral or upon the exercise by any such issuer or the DIP Agent of any right, privilege, or option pertaining to any of the Pledged Collateral, and in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the
Pledged Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar, or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the DIP
Agent shall have no duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges, or options, and the DIP Agent shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing, (ii) to the extent permitted under any requirements of law,
after the DIP Agent’s giving of the notice specified in clause (i) of this Section 10.09, all rights of any Credit Party to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise and to
receive the dividends, interest, and other distributions which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain thereunder shall be suspended until such Event of Default shall no longer exist, and all such rights shall, until such Event of
Default shall no longer exist, thereupon become vested in the DIP Agent which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such dividends, interest, and other
distributions, (iii) all dividends, interest, and other distributions which are received by any Credit Party contrary to the provisions of this Section 10.09 shall be received in trust for the benefit of the DIP Agent, shall be
forthwith deposited into the Cash Collateral Accounts as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement), and (iv) each Credit Party shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the DIP Agent
all such proxies and other instruments as the DIP Agent or a Lender may request for the purpose of enabling the DIP Agent to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section 10.09 and to
receive the dividends, interest, and other distributions which it is entitled to receive and retain pursuant to this Section 10.09.

contrary contained herein, (a) the Liens and security interests referred to herein shall be deemed valid and perfected by entry of the DIP Order and (b) the DIP Agent shall not be required to file any financing statements, mortgages,
notices of Lien or similar instruments in any jurisdiction or filing office or to take any other action in order to validate or perfect the Lien and security interest granted by or pursuant to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the DIP
Order.

approved by the DIP Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the DIP Agent and the applicable Lender. The DIP Agent or the Borrower (on its behalf and on behalf of any and

SECTION 11.02. Waivers; Amendments. 

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

  
 97 








 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Requisite Lenders or by the Borrower and the DIP Agent with the consent of the Requisite Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase
the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon (provided that the Requisite Lenders can waive the increased 2.00% of the Default

or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (c) or
Section 7.03 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Requisite Lenders” or
“Supermajority Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written
consent of each Lender, (vi) release any Credit Party from its obligations under the Loan Documents or release all or substantially all of the Collateral for the DIP Obligations arising under this Agreement, except in connection with any sales,
transfers, leases, dispositions or other transactions permitted by Section 6.03 or Section 6.13, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (vii) change Section 7.03, this clause (vii), Section 11.14, the definition
of “Discharge of DIP Obligations” or any definition referenced therein in any manner adverse to a DIP Secured Party without the written consent of such DIP Secured Party, or (viii) change any of the provisions of the Loan Documents
that materially, adversely and disproportionately affect (x) a Lender Swap Counterparty as compared to the other DIP Secured Parties or (y) the Lender Swap Counterparties as compared to the Lenders, without the written consent of such
Lender Swap Counterparty or the Lender Swap Counterparties, respectively; provided, further, that no such agreement shall (x) amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the DIP Agent hereunder without the prior
written consent of the DIP Agent or (y) release any of the Collateral, except in connection with any sales, transfers, leases, dispositions or other transactions permitted by Section 6.03 or Section 6.13, without the written consent
of the DIP Agent (it being acknowledged by the Credit Parties that the DIP Agent may condition such consent on the Credit Parties having assigned, novated, terminated, unwound or otherwise obtained a release from any obligations or liabilities under
Swap Agreements (or with respect to projected production of Hydrocarbons hedged thereunder) attributable to the Collateral to be released. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender. 

SECTION 11.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) Each Credit Party shall pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the DIP Agent, each Lender, and each Lender Swap Counterparty, (in the case of legal or consultancy fees, disbursements, charges and expenses, limited to: (i) all reasonable fees, disbursements, charges and expenses of
Bracewell LLP, McGuireWoods LLP, and Opportune, LLP and one local counsel in each necessary jurisdiction for the DIP Agent, the Lenders and the Lender Swap Counterparties taken as a whole, and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of
interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the affected parties similarly situated taken as a whole, and other reasonable legal or consultancy fees, expenses and disbursements of the DIP 

  
 98 








 
Agent in its sole discretion and (ii) as reasonably needed, all reasonable legal or consultancy fees, disbursements, charges and expenses of the Lenders and Lender Swap Counterparties with
the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not be unreasonably withheld)) in connection with the discussion, negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any documents in connection with any proposed financing of the Borrower,
including the Lender Swap Agreements, the Loan Documents and the funding of all Loans under this Agreement, such costs and expenses including due diligence, syndication of this Agreement (including printing, distribution and bank meeting)
transportation, duplication, messenger, audit, insurance, appraisal and consultant costs and expenses, and all search, filing and recording fees, incurred or sustained by the DIP Agent, the Lenders or the Lender Swap Counterparties in connection
with the Lender Swap Agreements, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the administration of this Agreement and any amendments, modifications or waivers of any provision of the Lender Swap
Agreements, the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby or hereby (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby or hereby shall be consummated), or in connection with the interpretation, enforcement or protection of any of
their rights and remedies under the Lender Swap Agreements or the Loan Documents including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred
during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans. 
 (b) EACH CREDIT PARTY SHALL INDEMNIFY THE DIP AGENT
EACH LENDER, EACH LENDER SWAP COUNTERPARTY AND EACH RELATED PARTY OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING PERSONS (EACH SUCH PERSON BEING CALLED AN “INDEMNITEE”), AGAINST, AND HOLD EACH INDEMNITEE HARMLESS FROM, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES,
LIABILITIES AND RELATED EXPENSES, INCLUDING THE REASONABLE FEES, CHARGES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY COUNSEL FOR ANY INDEMNITEE, INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH OR AS A RESULT OF (I) THE EXECUTION
OR DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (INCLUDING THE LENDER SWAP AGREEMENTS), THE PERFORMANCE BY THE PARTIES HERETO OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, (II) ANY LOAN OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREFROM , (III) ANY ACTUAL OR ALLEGED PRESENCE OR RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON OR FROM ANY PROPERTY OWNED OR OPERATED BY ANY OF THE DEBTORS, OR ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY RELATED
IN ANY WAY TO THE DEBTORS, OR (IV) ANY ACTUAL OR PROSPECTIVE CLAIM, LITIGATION, INVESTIGATION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY INDEMNITEE IS A PARTY
THERETO; PROVIDED THAT SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL NOT, AS TO ANY INDEMNITEE, BE AVAILABLE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR RELATED EXPENSES ARE DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY FINAL AND
NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT (A) TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNITEE (IT BEING ACKNOWLEDGED AND AGREED THAT IT IS THE INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT THE INDEMNITEES BE


  
 99 








 
INDEMNIFIED IN THE CASE OF THEIR OWN NEGLIGENCE (OTHER THAN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT), REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH NEGLIGENCE IS SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE, IMPUTED,
JOINT OR TECHNICAL); (B) TO HAVE RESULTED FROM A CLAIM BROUGHT BY THE BORROWER AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE OF ANY MATERIAL BREACH IN BAD FAITH OF SUCH INDEMNITEE’S FUNDING OBLIGATIONS UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR (C) TO BE A DISPUTE SOLELY
BY OR AMONGST INDEMNITEES (OTHER THAN THE DIP AGENT IN ITS ROLE AS SUCH) TO THE EXTENT SUCH DISPUTE DOES NOT INVOLVE AND IS NOT RELATED TO ANY ACT, OMISSION OR REPRESENTATION ON THE PART OF, OR ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OR ON BEHALF OF, THE
BORROWER, ANY GUARANTOR OR AFFILIATES THEREOF. IN THE CASE OF AN INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING TO WHICH THE INDEMNITY IN THIS PARAGRAPH APPLIES, SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE WHETHER OR NOT SUCH INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION OR
PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT BY THE BORROWER, ANY OF ITS DIRECTORS, SECURITY-HOLDERS OR CREDITORS, AN INDEMNITEE OR ANY OTHER PERSON, OR AN INDEMNITEE IS OTHERWISE A PARTY THERETO AND WHETHER OR NOT THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY ARE CONSUMMATED. FOR
THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE BORROWER BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY ANY INDEMNITEE. To the extent that any Credit Party fails to pay any amount required to
be paid by it to the DIP Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the DIP Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or
indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the DIP Agent in its capacity
as such. 
 (c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any
Indemnitee or any party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with or as a result of this Agreement or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that a claim for indemnity under Section 11.03(b), to the extent covered thereby, is a claim of
direct or actual damages and nothing contained in the foregoing sentence shall limit the Credit Parties’ indemnification obligations to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third party claim
in connection with which such Indemnitee is otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder. 
 (d) All amounts due under this Section shall
be payable promptly after written demand therefor. 

  
 100 








 SECTION 11.04. Successors and Assigns. 

(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, except that (i) no Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by a Credit Party
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. 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 Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related
Parties of each of the DIP Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b)
(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans
at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of: 
 (A) the
Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and 

(B) the DIP Agent, provided that no consent of the DIP Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Commitment to an
assignee that is a Lender with a Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment 
 provided, however, that no
Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) to the Parent or any Affiliate of the Parent or any natural person (or any
company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof), in each case, without the consent of all of the Lenders; and provided further that under no
circumstance may any Lender assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) to (x) any Company Competitor or (y) any Person
that is not a party to the RSA, unless, with respect to this clause (y), either (A) concurrently with such assignment such Person becomes a party to the RSA or (B) the RSA is no longer in effect at the time of such assignment (and any such
assignment in violation of this proviso shall be null and void). 
 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following
additional conditions: 
 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, the amount of
the Commitment Amount of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the DIP Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of
the Borrower and the DIP Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 

  
 101 








 (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; 
 (C) the parties to
each assignment shall execute and deliver to the DIP Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and 

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the DIP Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the
assignee designates one or more individuals to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Credit Parties and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who
may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws. 

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the
assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (with respect to amounts accruing during the period such Lender
was a party hereto and for which such Lender was entitled to reimbursement or indemnity) and Section 11.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.04
shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. If the consent of the Borrower to an assignment is required hereunder
(including a consent to an assignment that does not meet the minimum assignment thresholds specified in this Section), the Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent ten days after the date notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning
Lender (through the DIP Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by the Borrower prior to such tenth day. 
 (iv) The
DIP Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders,
and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the DIP Agent and the
Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the
Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

  
 102 








 (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any
written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the DIP Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning
Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 11.03, the DIP Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information
therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided
in this paragraph. 
 (c) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Credit Party or the DIP Agent sell participations to one or more banks
or other entities (a “Participant”), other than the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower or any natural person (or any company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person
or relative(s) thereof), in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Credit Parties, the DIP Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the
sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 11.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and
2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the
same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 2.19 as if it
were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.15 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to
receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled
to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this
purpose as a non-fiduciary agent 

  
 103 








 
of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans
or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any
Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, or its other obligations under any this Agreement or any other Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish
that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall
treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. 

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure
obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such
pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

SECTION 11.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties herein and in the
certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of
any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the DIP Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any
credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the
Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 11.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the
repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

SECTION 11.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties
hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees
payable to the DIP Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as
provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the DIP Agent and when the DIP Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the
other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other
electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

  
 104 








 SECTION 11.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and
the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

SECTION 11.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and upon delivery of the Remedies Notice
in accordance with Section 7.02 (including the five (5) Business Days prior delivery time period required thereunder), each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any
Credit Party against any of and all the obligations of any Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have. 

SECTION 11.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. 

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK) EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK IS SUPERSEDED BY THE BANKRUPTCY CODE. 

(b) EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT, OR, TO THE EXTENT THE BANKRUPTCY
COURT DOES NOT HAVE (OR ABSTAINS FROM EXERCISING) JURISDICTION, TO ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND EACH
CREDIT PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION
OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE DIP AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. 

  
 105 








 (c) Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may
legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section.
Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 11.01. Nothing
in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 
 SECTION
11.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT
SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 
 SECTION 11.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are
for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

SECTION 11.12. Confidentiality. 

(a) Each of the DIP Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information
may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that (A) the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be
informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and (B) in any event, any subsequent disclosure by its or its Affiliates’ directors, officers or employees shall be deemed to be,
and treated as if it were, a disclosure by, as applicable, the DIP Agent or such Lender), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory or self-regulatory authority, (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any
subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party to this Agreement, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights
hereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (x) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement or (y) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Credit Party and its obligations, (vii) with the consent of the Borrower or (viii) to the
extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the DIP Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Credit Parties. For the
purposes of this Section, 

  
 106 








 
“Information” means all information received from the Parent or the Borrower relating to any Credit Party or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is
available to the DIP Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Credit Party. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its
obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

(b) EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 11.12(a) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL
NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE PARENT, THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE
SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  

(c) ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY ANY CREDIT PARTY OR THE DIP AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE
COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE PARENT, THE BORROWER, THE CREDIT PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY,
EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE DIP AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE
PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.  
 SECTION 11.13. Interest Rate Limitation. Each Credit Party, the DIP Agent and the Lenders
intend to strictly comply with all applicable laws, including applicable usury laws. Accordingly, the provisions of this Section 11.13 shall govern and control over every other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that
conflicts or is inconsistent with this Section 11.13, even if such provision declares that it controls. As used in this Section 11.13, the term “interest” includes the aggregate of all charges, fees, benefits or other
compensation which constitute interest under applicable law, provided that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) any non-principal payment shall be characterized as an expense or as compensation for something other than the
use, forbearance or detention of money and not as interest, and (b) all interest at any time contracted for, reserved, charged or received shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread, in equal parts during the full term of the DIP
Obligations. In no event shall any Credit Party or any other Person be obligated to pay, or any Lender have any right or privilege to reserve, receive or retain, (i) any interest in excess of the maximum amount of nonusurious interest permitted
under the applicable laws (if any) of the United States or of any other applicable state or (ii) total interest in excess of the amount which such Lender could lawfully have contracted for, reserved, received, retained or charged had the


  
 107 








 
interest been calculated for the full term of the DIP Obligations at the Highest Lawful Rate. On each day, if any, that the interest rate (the “Stated Rate”) called for under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the rate at which interest shall accrue shall automatically be fixed by operation of this sentence at the Highest Lawful Rate for that day, and shall remain fixed at the
Highest Lawful Rate for each day thereafter until the total amount of interest accrued equals the total amount of interest which would have accrued if there were no such ceiling rate as is imposed by this sentence. Thereafter, interest shall accrue
at the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate when the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall again automatically operate to limit the interest accrual rate. The daily interest rates to be
used in calculating interest at the Highest Lawful Rate shall be determined by dividing the applicable Highest Lawful Rate per annum by the number of days in the calendar year for which such calculation is being made. None of the terms and
provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document that directly or indirectly relate to interest shall ever be construed without reference to this Section 11.13, or be construed to create a contract to pay for the use,
forbearance or detention of money at an interest rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate. If the term of any Obligation is shortened by reason of acceleration of maturity as a result of any Event of Default or by any other cause, or by reason of
any required or permitted prepayment, and if for that (or any other) reason any Lender at any time, including but not limited to, the stated maturity, is owed or receives (and/or has received) interest in excess of interest calculated at the Highest
Lawful Rate, then and in any such event all of any such excess interest shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration, prepayment or other event which produces the excess, and, if such excess interest has been paid to such
Lender, it shall be credited pro tanto against the then-outstanding principal balance of the Borrower’s obligations to such Lender, effective as of the date or dates when the event occurs which causes it to be excess interest, until such excess
is exhausted or all of such principal has been fully paid and satisfied, whichever occurs first, and any remaining balance of such excess shall be promptly refunded to its payor. 

SECTION 11.14. Collateral Matters; Lender Swap Agreements and Lender Party Financial Service Products. The benefit of the Collateral
Documents and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Collateral shall also extend to, secure and be available on a pro rata basis to each Lender Swap Counterparty with respect to any obligations of any Debtor arising under such Lender
Swap Agreement but only to the extent such obligations arise from transactions entered into prior to the date such Lender Swap Counterparty ceases to be a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, without giving effect to any extension, increases, or
modifications (including blending) thereof which are made after such Lender Swap Counterparty ceases to be a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender under this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any Lender Swap Agreement that remains
secured after the counterparty thereto is no longer a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or the Discharge of DIP Obligations has occurred, the provisions of Article VIII shall also continue to apply to such counterparty in consideration of its
benefits hereunder and each such counterparty shall, if requested by the DIP Agent, promptly execute and deliver to the DIP Agent all such other documents, agreements and instruments reasonably requested by the DIP Agent to evidence the continued
applicability of the provisions of Article VIII. Notwithstanding the foregoing and other than as expressly provided herein, no Lender or Affiliate of a Lender (or former Lender or Affiliate of a former Lender) shall have any voting or consent right
under this Agreement or any Collateral Document as a result of the existence of obligations owed to it under a Lender Swap Agreement that is secured by any Collateral Document. 

  
 108 








 SECTION 11.15. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and
the agreement of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder are solely for the benefit of the Parent and the Borrower, and no other Person (including, without limitation, any Subsidiary of the Borrower, any obligor, contractor, subcontractor, supplier or
materialman) shall have any rights, claims, remedies or privileges hereunder or under any other Loan Document against the DIP Agent, any other Agent, or any Lender for any reason whatsoever. There are no third party beneficiaries. 

SECTION 11.16. Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan
Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured,
may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which
may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 
 (b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such
liability, including, if applicable: 
 (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial
Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such
liability under this Agreement or any other 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 EEA 
 SECTION 11.17. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that
is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) hereby notifies the Parent, the Borrower and the Guarantors that pursuant to the
requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Parent, the Borrower and the Guarantors, which information includes the name and address of the Parent, the Borrower and the Guarantors and
other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Parent, the Borrower and the Guarantors in accordance with the Patriot Act. 

  
 109 








 SECTION 11.18. NO ORAL AGREEMENTS. THE LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES. 

SECTION 11.19. DIP Orders. In the case of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the DIP Orders, the
terms of the DIP Orders shall govern and control. 

  
 110 








 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their
respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
