Within 60 days after the Twelfth Amendment Effective Date (or such longer time as acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, but not to exceed 90 days), the Borrowers agree to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, Mortgages, amendments to Mortgages, or amendments and restatements of the Mortgages, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require to comply with the requirements of Section 6.09 and related title information required to comply with Section 6.10.

SECTION 2.                                       Reallocation and Increase of Commitments.  The Lenders have agreed among themselves to reallocate their respective Commitments, and to, among other things, permit one or more of the Lenders to increase their respective Commitments under the Credit Agreement (each, an “Increasing Lender”) provided that at any time prior to the Midstream Operating Credit Termination Date, each Lender’s Applicable Percentage under the Credit Agreement shall, at all times, be equal to such Lender’s “Applicable Percentage” under and as defined in the Midstream Operating Credit Agreement.  Each of the Administrative Agent and Borrower hereby consents to (i) the reallocation of the Commitments and (ii) the increase in each Increasing Lender’s Commitment.  On the date this Amendment becomes effective and after giving effect to such reallocation and increase of the Aggregate Commitment, the Commitment of each Lender shall be as set forth on Schedule 1.01 of this Amendment.  Each Lender hereby consents to the Commitments set forth on Schedule 1.01 of this Amendment.  The reallocation of the Aggregate Commitment among the Lenders shall be deemed to have been consummated pursuant to the terms of the Assignment and Assumption attached as Exhibit A to the Credit Agreement as if the Lenders had executed an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such reallocation.  The Administrative Agent hereby waives the $3,500 processing and recordation fee set forth in Section 11.04(b)(ii)(C) of the Credit Agreement with respect to the assignments and reallocations contemplated by this Section 2.  The increase in each Increasing Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to have been consummated pursuant to the terms of the Lender Certificate attached as Exhibit E to the Credit Agreement as if such Increasing Lender had executed a Lender Certificate with respect to such increase.  To the extent requested by any Lender and in accordance with Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement, Borrower shall pay to such
