    (b)        If since the beginning of any applicable Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any
      of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required
      adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.12, then such financial
      ratio or test (or Consolidated Total Assets) shall be calculated to give Pro Forma Effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.12.

     

    (c)         Whenever Pro Forma Effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a Financial Officer of the Borrower.

     

    (d)        In the event that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary issues, repurchases or redeems Disqualified Stock (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to the end of the
      applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving Pro Forma Effect to such issuance, refinancing or redemption of Disqualified Stock to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the
      applicable Test Period.

     

    1.13      Rates.  The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration,
      submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “LIBOR Rate” or with respect to any rate that is an alternative or replacement for or successor to any such rate (including, without limitation, any Benchmark Replacement) or
      the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. 

     

    1.14      Divisions. 

      For all purposes under the Credit Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person
      becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be
      deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

      SECTION 2.       AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT

       

      2.1         Commitments. 

    

     

    

    (a)         (i)          Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees to make a loan or loans denominated in Dollars (each an “Initial Loan” and, collectively, the “Initial Loans”) to the Borrower, which
      Loans (i) shall be made at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and prior to the Termination Date, (ii) may, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans or LIBOR Loans; provided that all Loans made by each of the Lenders pursuant to the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist entirely of Loans of the same Type, (iii) may be repaid and
      reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (iv) shall not, for any Lender at any time, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result in such Lender’s Total Exposure at such time exceeding such Lender’s
      Commitment Percentage at such time of the Loan Limit and (v) shall not, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result in the aggregate amount of all Lenders’ Total Exposures at such time exceeding the Loan Limit
      then in effect.

     

    
      
        	

              	(ii)	
                Each Lender may at its option make any LIBOR Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan, provided that (i) any exercise of such option shall
                  not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan and (ii) in exercising such option, such Lender shall use its reasonable efforts to
                  minimize any increased costs to the Borrower resulting therefrom (which obligation of the Lender shall not require it to take, or refrain from
                  taking, actions that it determines would result in increased costs for which it will not be compensated hereunder or that it determines would be otherwise disadvantageous to it and in the event of such request for costs for which
                  compensation is provided under this Agreement, the provisions of Section 2.10 shall apply).

              

      

    

     

    (b)          [Reserved].

     

    (c)          [Reserved].

     

    2.2         Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing; Maximum Number of Borrowings.  The aggregate principal amount
      of each Borrowing shall be in a minimum amount of at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount for such Type of Loans and in a multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (except that Loans to reimburse the applicable Issuing
      Bank with respect to any Unpaid Drawing shall be made in the amounts required by Section 3.3 or Section 3.4, as applicable).  More than one Borrowing may be incurred on any date; provided,
      that at no time shall there be outstanding more than ten Borrowings of LIBOR Loans under this Agreement. 

     

    2.3         Notice

        of Borrowing. 

    

    

    (a)         Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Loans (other than borrowings to repay Unpaid Drawings), the Borrower
      shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office, (i) in the case of any LIBOR Loans incurred after the Closing Date, prior to 12:00 noon (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of Loans and (ii) (A) in the case of any ABR Loans incurred on the Closing Date,
      prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least one Business Day prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing
      of Loans and (B) in the case of any ABR Loans incurred after the Closing Date, written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of each
      Borrowing of Loans that are to be ABR Loans.  Such notice (, a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (B) the date of the Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (C) whether the respective Borrowing shall consist of ABR Loans and/or LIBOR Loans and, if LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto (if no Interest Period is
      selected, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration).  The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
      confirmed in writing) of each proposed Borrowing of Loans, of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof and of the other matters covered by the related Notice

      of Borrowing.

     

    
      60

      
        

    

    (b)          [Reserved].

     

    (c)          [Reserved].

     

    (d)          Borrowings to reimburse Unpaid Drawings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 3.4(a).

     

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

     

    2.4         Disbursement of Funds. 

     

    (a)         No later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender will make available its pro rata portion of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date in the manner provided below.

     

    (b)       Each Lender shall make available all amounts it is to fund to the Borrower under any Borrowing in immediately
      available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars, and the Administrative Agent will (except in the case of Borrowings to repay
      Unpaid Drawings) make available to the Borrower, by depositing or wiring to an account (such account to be a Controlled Account on and after the date referred to in Section 9.17(a)(i)) as designated by the Borrower in the Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent the aggregate of the amounts so made available in Dollars.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
      been notified by any Lender prior to the date of any such Borrowing (or, with respect to an ABR Loan, the date of such Borrowing prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time)) that such Lender does not intend to
      make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing,
      and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a
      corresponding amount.  If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made available such amount to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
      recover such corresponding amount from such Lender.  If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall
      immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent in Dollars.  The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the Overnight Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then-applicable rate of interest or fees, calculated in accordance with Section 2.8, for the respective Loans.

     

    (c)        Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender
      from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any
      rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible
      for the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder).

     

    
      61

      
        

    

    2.5         Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
    

     

    (a)        The Borrower agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Lenders, on the earlier of (X) the Termination Date and (Y) (i) on the Initial Maturity Date,
      the then outstanding Initial Loans and (ii) on the relevant maturity date for any Extended Class, all then outstanding Extended Loans in respect of such
      Extension Series.

     

    (b)         Each Lender shall maintain
      in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to the appropriate lending office of such Lender
      resulting from each Loan made by such lending office from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such lending office from time to time under this Agreement.

     

    (c)        The Administrative Agent,
      acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 13.6(b)(i)(iv),
      and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder (whether such Loan is an Initial Loan or an Extended Loan, as applicable), the Type of each Loan made
      and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent
      hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

     

    (d)         The entries made in the Register and accounts and subaccounts maintained pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 2.5 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and
      amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however,
      that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     

    2.6         Conversions and Continuations. 

     

    (a)         Subject to the penultimate sentence of this clause (a), (i) the Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to convert all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount (and in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof) of the outstanding principal
      amount of Loans of one Type into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type and (ii) the Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to continue the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Loans as
      LIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period; provided that (A) no partial conversion of LIBOR Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less
      than the Minimum Borrowing Amount, (B) ABR Loans may not be converted into LIBOR Loans if an Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Lenders have determined in its or their sole
      discretion not to permit such conversion, (C) LIBOR Loans may not be continued as LIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period if an Event of Default is in existence on the date of the proposed continuation and the Administrative Agent has or the
      Majority Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, and (D) Borrowings resulting from conversions pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be limited in number as provided in Section 2.2. 
      Each such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least (1) three (3) Business Days’, in the case of a continuation of or conversion to LIBOR Loans or (2) the date of conversion, in the case of a conversion into ABR Loans, prior written notice (or telephonic
      notice promptly confirmed in writing) (each, a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) specifying the Loans to be so converted or continued, the Type of Loans to be converted into or continued and, if such Loans are to be converted into or
      continued as LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto (if no Interest Period is selected, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration). 
      The Administrative Agent shall give each applicable Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any of its Loans.

     

    
      62

      
        

    

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

     

    (c)         Notwithstanding anything to
      the contrary herein, the Borrower may deliver a Notice of Conversion or Continuation pursuant to which the Borrower elects to irrevocably continue the outstanding principal amount of any Loan subject to an interest rate Hedge Agreement as LIBOR Loans for each Interest Period until the expiration of the term of such applicable Hedge Agreement; provided that any Notice of Conversion or Continuation delivered pursuant to this Section

      2.6(c) shall include a schedule attaching the relevant interest rate Hedge Agreement or
      related trade confirmation.

     

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

     

    2.8         Interest. 

     

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

    

    

    (b)        The unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Margin plus the relevant Adjusted LIBOR Rate, in each case, in effect from time to time.

     

    (c)         If (i) an Event of Default under Section 11.1 or Section 11.5 has occurred and is continuing, then all Loans and other amounts
      outstanding under the Credit Documents shall bear interest at a rate per annum, after as well as before judgment, that is (the “Default Rate”) 
      the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2.0% (or, in the event there is no applicable rate, to the extent permitted by applicable
      Requirements of Law, the rate described in Section 2.8(a) plus 2.0%) and (ii) any
      other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Majority Lenders, by written notice (which may be given on their behalf by the Administrative Agent) may elect to have all Loans and other amounts outstanding bear interest at the
      Default Rate.

     

    
      63

      
        

    

    (d)         Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable in Dollars; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same date on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.  Except as provided below, interest shall be payable (i) in respect
      of each ABR Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, (ii) in respect of each LIBOR Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the
      case of an Interest Period in excess of three (3) months, on each date occurring at three-month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, (iii) in
      respect of each Loan, (A) on any prepayment (on the amount prepaid), (B) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (C) after such maturity, on demand.

     

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

     

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

     

    2.9         Interest Periods.  At the time the Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into or continuation as, a Borrowing of LIBOR
      Loans in accordance with Section 2.6(a), the Borrower shall give
      the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower be a one-, two-, three- or six- or (with the
      consent of all the Lenders making such LIBOR Loans) a twelve-month period as requested by the Borrower. 

     

    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above:

     

    
      
        	

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

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	

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

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	

              	(c)	
                if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business

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

              

      

    

     

    
      
        	

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

              

      

    

     

    2.10       Increased Costs, Illegality, Changed Circumstances, Etc. 

     

    (a)         Subject to Section 2.10(d), in the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below, the Majority Lenders (or
      the Administrative Agent, as applicable) or (y) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Lender (or the Administrative Agent, as applicable), shall have reasonably determined (which
      determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

     

    
      64

      
        

    

    (i)          on any date for determining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate or the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period that (A) deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such
      Borrowing of LIBOR Loans are not generally available in the relevant market or (B) adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR Rate (including by reason of
      any changes arising on or after the Closing Date affecting the interbank LIBOR market); or

     

    (ii)         that a Change in Law occurring at any time after the Closing Date shall (A) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender, (B) subject any Lender (including any
      Issuing Bank) and the Administrative Agent to any Tax (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.4, or (ii) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan
      principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or (C) impose on any Lender or the London

      interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender, which results in the cost to such Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining LIBOR Loans or
      participating in Letters of Credit (in each case hereunder) increasing by an amount which such Lender reasonably deems material or the amounts received
      or receivable by such Lender hereunder with respect to the foregoing shall be reduced; or

     

    (iii)       at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Requirement of Law (or
      would conflict with any such Requirement of Law not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful);

     

    then, and in any such event, such Lenders (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) and (ii)(B) above) shall within a reasonable time thereafter give
      notice (if by telephone, confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders).  Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, LIBOR Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the
      Administrative Agent no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to give at such time when such circumstances no longer exist), and any Notice

      of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to LIBOR Loans that have not yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii)
      above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, as applicable), promptly (but no later than fifteen (15) days) after receipt of written demand therefor such additional amounts as
      shall be required to compensate such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, as applicable) for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (it being agreed that a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender
      (or the Administrative Agent, as applicable), showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, as applicable) shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final
      and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within
      the time period required by applicable Requirements of Law.

     

    
      65

      
        

    

    (b)         At any time that any LIBOR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and in
      the case of a LIBOR Loan affected pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either if the affected LIBOR Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel
      such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii)
      or (iii) or if the affected LIBOR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the
      Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert each such LIBOR Loan into an ABR Loan; provided that if more than one Lender are affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated in
      the same manner pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

     

    (c)         If, after the Closing Date, any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements of any
      Lender or compliance by any Lender or its parent with any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements occurring after the Closing Date, has or
      would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s
      or its parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements), then from time to time, promptly (but in any event no later than fifteen (15) days) after written demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or
      its parent for such reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that a Lender shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Lender’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any applicable
      Requirement of Law as in effect on the Closing Date.  Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the
      calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not, subject to Section 2.13, release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to
      this Section 2.10(c) upon receipt of such notice.

     

    (d)

     

    (i)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an
      Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the LIBOR Rate with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at
      5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such
      amendment from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders of each Class. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders of each Class have delivered to the
      Administrative Agent written notice that such Majority Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of the LIBOR Rate with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.10(d) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start
      Date.

     

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

     

    
      66

      
        

    

    (iii)       The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as
      applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (D) the commencement or
      conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.10(d), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or
      adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and
      without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.10(d).

     

    (iv)        Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a LIBOR Loan of, conversion to
      or continuation of LIBOR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to ABR
      Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component of ABR based upon the LIBOR Rate will not be used in any determination of ABR.

     

    2.11       Compensation.  If (a) any payment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is made by the Borrower to or
      for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan as a result of a payment or conversion pursuant to Section

      2.5, 2.6, 2.10, 5.1, 5.2 or 13.7, as a result of acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 11 or for any other reason, (b) any
      Borrowing of LIBOR Loans is not made on the date specified in a Notice of Borrowing, (c) any ABR Loan is not converted into a LIBOR Loan on the date
      specified in a Notice of Conversion or Continuation, (d) any LIBOR Loan is not continued as a LIBOR Loan on the date specified in a Notice of Conversion or Continuation or (e) any prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is not made as a result of a
      withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2, the Borrower shall after the Borrower’s receipt of a written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), pay to the
      Administrative Agent (within fifteen (15) days after such request) for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that such
      Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to convert, failure to continue or failure to prepay, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or
      reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such LIBOR Loan.
    

     

    2.12       Change of Lending Office.  Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise
      to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii), 2.10(a)(iii), 2.10(c), 3.11 or 5.4 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower use reasonable efforts
      (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event; provided that such designation does not cause such Lender or its lending
      office to suffer any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section.  Nothing in this Section

        2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Section 2.10, 3.11 or 5.4. 

     

    2.13       Notice of Certain Costs.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the
      extent any notice required by Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.4
      is given by any Lender more than 180 days after such Lender has knowledge (or should have had knowledge) of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, Tax or other
      additional amounts described in such Sections, such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.4, as the case may be, for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the 181st day prior to the giving of such notice to the Borrower; provided that if the circumstance giving rise to such claim

      is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

     

    
      67

      
        

    

    2.14       Borrowing Base. 

     

    (a)        Initial Borrowing Base.  For the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the first Redetermination Date, the Borrowing Base shall be equal to $460,000,000.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowing Base may be subject to further adjustments from time to time pursuant to the Borrowing Base Adjustment Provisions.

     

    (b)         Scheduled and Interim Redeterminations.  The Borrowing Base shall be redetermined semi-annually in accordance with this Section 2.14 (a “Scheduled Redetermination”), and, subject to Section 2.14(d), such redetermined Borrowing Base shall become
      effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders on or about April 1st and October 1st of each year (or as promptly as possible thereafter), commencing on or about April 1, 2020.  In addition, (i) the Borrower may at any time (including prior to the first Scheduled Redetermination Date of April 1, 2020), by notifying the Administrative Agent thereof not more
      than once during any period between Scheduled Redeterminations and not more than twice during any fiscal year; and (ii) the Administrative Agent, following the first Scheduled Redetermination Date of April 1,
      2020, may at any time, at the written direction of the Required Lenders, by written notice to the Borrower thereof, not more than once during any period between Scheduled Redeterminations and not more than twice during any fiscal year (provided that such limitation shall not apply to any redetermination requested by the Borrower in connection with any Incremental Increase pursuant to Section 2.16), in each case, elect to cause the Borrowing Base to be redetermined between Scheduled Redeterminations (an “Interim

        Redetermination”) in accordance with this Section 2.14. In addition to, and not
      including and/or limited by the annual Interim Redeterminations allowed above, the Borrower may, by notifying the Administrative Agent thereof, at any time between Scheduled Redeterminations, request additional Interim Redeterminations of the
      Borrowing Base in the event that a Credit Party acquires Oil and Gas Properties which are to be Borrowing Base Properties with Proved Reserves having a PV-9 value (calculated at the time of acquisition) in excess of five percent (5.0%) of the
      Borrowing Base in effect immediately prior to such acquisition (and for purposes of the foregoing, the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary owning Oil and Gas Properties with Proved Reserves as a Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to
      constitute an acquisition by a Credit Party of Oil and Gas Properties with Proved Reserves).

     

    (c)          Scheduled and Interim
        Redetermination Procedure.

     

    (i)          Each Scheduled Redetermination and each
      Interim Redetermination shall be effectuated as follows:  Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Reserve Report, the Reserve Report Certificate, the information provided pursuant to Section 9.14(c)
      and such other related reports, data and supplemental information as the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may reasonably request (the Reserve Report,
      such Reserve Report Certificate and such other related reports, data and information being the “Engineering

        Reports”), the Administrative Agent shall evaluate the information contained in the Engineering Reports and shall in good faith and based upon its sole
      credit discretion propose a new Borrowing Base (the “Proposed Borrowing Base”) based upon such information and such other related information (including the status of title information with respect to the
      Borrowing Base Properties as described in the Engineering Reports and the existence of any Hedge Agreements) in good faith in accordance with its usual and
      customary oil and gas lending criteria as they exist at the particular time.

     

    
      68

      
        

    

    (ii)         The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the Proposed Borrowing Base (the “Proposed

        Borrowing Base Notice”):

     

    (A)          in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination, (1) if the Administrative Agent shall have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower
      pursuant to Sections 9.14(a) and (c) in a timely manner, within ten (10) Business Days following its receipt of such Engineering Reports or (2) if the Administrative Agent
      shall not have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 9.14(a) and
      (c) in a timely manner, then promptly after the Administrative Agent has received complete Engineering Reports from the Borrower
      and has had a reasonable opportunity to determine the Proposed Borrowing Base in accordance with Section 2.14(c)(i); and

     

    (B)           in the case of an Interim Redetermination, promptly, and in any event, within fifteen (15) days after the Administrative
      Agent has received the required Engineering Reports (or such later date to which the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree in their respective sole discretion).

     

    (iii)      [Reserved].

     

    (iv)      Any Proposed Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing Base then in effect must be approved by each Lender in each such Lender’s sole discretion and consistent with each such
      Lender’s normal and customary oil and gas lending criteria as they exist at the particular time as provided in this Section 2.14(c) and any Proposed Borrowing Base that would decrease or
      maintain the Borrowing Base then in effect must be approved by Lenders constituting at least the Required Lenders in each such Lender’s sole discretion and consistent with each such Lender’s normal and customary oil and gas lending criteria as they
      exist at the particular time as provided in this Section 2.14(c).  Upon receipt of the Proposed Borrowing Base Notice, each
      Lender shall have fifteen (15) Business Days to agree with the Proposed Borrowing Base or disagree with the Proposed Borrowing Base by proposing an alternate Borrowing Base.  If at the end of such
      15-Business Day period, all of the Lenders, in the case of a Proposed Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing Base then in effect, or the Required Lenders, in the case of a Proposed Borrowing Base
      that would decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base then in effect, have approved, then the Proposed Borrowing Base shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective on the date specified in Section

      2.14(d).  If, however, at the end of such 15-Business Day period, all Lenders or
      the Required Lenders, as applicable, have not approved, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter poll the Lenders to ascertain the highest Borrowing Base then acceptable to (a) in the case of a decrease or reaffirmation, a number of
      Lenders sufficient to constitute the Required Lenders or (b) in the case of an increase, all of the Lenders, and such amount shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective on the date specified in Section

      2.14(d).

     

    (d)         Effectiveness of a Redetermined Borrowing Base.  Subject to Section 2.14(h), after a redetermined Borrowing Base is approved by
      each Lender or the Required Lenders, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.14(c), the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the amount
      of the redetermined Borrowing Base (the “New Borrowing Base Notice”), and such amount shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective
      and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders:

     

    

    
      69

      
        

    

    
      (i)          in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination, (A) if the Administrative Agent shall have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 9.14(a)
        and (c) in a timely and complete manner, on or about the April 1 or October 1, as applicable, following such notice, or (B) if the Administrative Agent shall not have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrower
        pursuant to Sections 9.14(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then on the Business Day next succeeding delivery of such New Borrowing Base Notice; and

       

      (ii)          in the case of an Interim Redetermination, on the Business Day next succeeding delivery of such New Borrowing Base Notice.

       

      Such amount shall then become the Borrowing Base until the next Scheduled Redetermination Date, the next redetermination or modification thereof hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Scheduled Redetermination
        or Interim Redetermination shall become effective until the New Borrowing Base Notice related thereto delivered to the Borrower in accordance with Section 13.2.

       

      (e)        Reduction of Borrowing Base Upon Incurrence of Borrowing Base Reduction Debt.  The Borrowing Base shall be reduced upon the issuance or incurrence of any Borrowing Base Reduction Debt after the
        Closing Date (other than Borrowing Base Reduction Debt constituting Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to Refinance such Indebtedness, but only to the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness
        incurred to Refinance such Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of the Refinanced Indebtedness) by an amount equal to the product of 0.25 multiplied by the stated principal amount of such Borrowing Base Reduction Debt (without
        regard to any original issue discount), and the Borrowing Base as so reduced shall become the new Borrowing Base immediately upon the date of such issuance or incurrence, effective and applicable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the
        Issuing Banks and the Lenders on such date until the next redetermination or modification thereof hereunder.

       

      (f)          Reduction of Borrowing Base Upon Termination of Hedge Positions and Asset Dispositions.

       

      (i)          If the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall terminate, unwind or create any off-setting positions in respect of any commodity hedge positions (whether evidenced by a floor, put or
        Hedge Agreement) upon which the Lenders relied in determining the Borrowing Base, and/or

       

      (ii)          If the Borrower or one of the other Credit Parties Disposes of Borrowing Base Properties or Disposes of any Equity Interests in any Restricted Subsidiary owning Borrowing Base
        Properties, and

       

      (iii)        the sum of (x) the Borrowing Base Value of such terminated, unwound and/or offsetting positions (after taking into account any other similar Hedge Agreement executed contemporaneously
        with the taking of such actions acceptable to the Required Lenders) plus (y) the aggregate Borrowing Base Value of all such Borrowing Base Properties Disposed of (after giving effect to any concurrent
        acquisitions of and other investments in Oil and Gas Properties by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to which the Borrower has delivered a Reserve Report in accordance with Section 9.14(b)), in each case,
        since the later of (A) the most recent Scheduled Redetermination Date and (B) the last adjustment of the Borrowing Base made pursuant to this Section 2.14(f) exceeds 5.0% of the then-effective Borrowing Base, then the Required
        Lenders shall have the right to adjust the Borrowing Base in an amount equal to the sum of (1) the Borrowing Base Value, if any, attributable to such terminated, unwound or off-setting hedge positions in the calculation of the then-effective
        Borrowing Base (after taking into account any other similar Hedge Agreement executed contemporaneously with the taking of such actions acceptable to the Required Lenders) and (2) an amount equal to the Borrowing Base Value, if any, attributable to
        such Disposed Borrowing Base Properties in the calculation of the then-effective Borrowing Base (after giving effect to any concurrent acquisitions of and other investments in Oil and Gas Properties by the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries
        with respect to which the Borrower has delivered a Reserve Report in accordance with Section 9.14(b)), where in each case the Borrowing Base Value shall be determined by the Required Lenders in accordance with the usual and
        customary oil and gas lending criteria as it exists at the particular time.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of the Borrowing Base Value, if any, attributable to such terminated, unwound or offsetting hedge
        positions and Disposed of Borrowing Base Properties in the calculation of the then-effective Borrowing Base and, upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowing Base shall be simultaneously reduced by such amount.

       

      

      
        70

        
          

      

      (iv)       For the purposes of this Section 2.14(f), a “Disposition” of Oil and Gas Properties shall include the designation of a Restricted Subsidiary owning Oil and Gas Properties as
        an Unrestricted Subsidiary and the Disposition or other transfer of Oil and Gas Properties or the Equity Interests in any Restricted Subsidiary owning Oil and Gas Properties to an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

       

      (g)        Reduction of Borrowing Base Related to Title.  If (i) the Borrower fails to provide the information required by Section 9.16(a) within the time periods specified therein or (ii) any title
        defect or exception requested by the Administrative Agent to be cured pursuant to Section 9.16(b) is not cured within the time period specified therein, the Required Lenders shall have the right to adjust the Borrowing Base upon written
        notice (which such notice shall include the effective date of reduction) such that, after giving effect to such reduction, the Borrower shall have provided reasonably satisfactory title information in respect of the required percentage of the value
        of the Borrowing Base Properties, and upon the effective date of the reduction specified in the notice described above, the new Borrowing Base will become effective.

       

      (h)         Borrower’s Right to Elect Reduced Borrowing Base.  Within three (3) Business Days of its receipt of a New Borrowing Base Notice, the Borrower may provide written notice to the Administrative Agent
        and the Lenders that specifies for the period from the effective date of the New Borrowing Base Notice until the next succeeding Scheduled Redetermination Date, the Borrowing Base will be a lesser amount than the amount set forth in such New
        Borrowing Base Notice, whereupon such specified lesser amount (the “Draw Limit”) will become the new Borrowing Base.  The Borrower’s notice under this Section 2.14(h) shall be irrevocable, but without prejudice to its rights
        to initiate Interim Redeterminations.

       

      (i)          Administrative Agent Data.  The Administrative Agent hereby agrees to provide, promptly, and in any event within three (3) Business Days, following its receipt of a request by the Borrower, an
        updated Bank Price Deck.  In addition, the Administrative Agent agrees, upon request, to meet with the Borrower to discuss its evaluation of the reservoir engineering of the Oil and Gas Properties included in the Reserve Report and their respective
        methodologies for valuing such properties and the other factors considered in calculating the Borrowing Base.

       

      (j)         Reduction of Borrowing Base in connection with Post-Closing Initial Required Hedge Agreements Covenant.  If a reduction of the Borrowing Base is required in accordance with Section 9.18(b),
        the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders in writing and, upon receipt of such notice, the new Borrowing Base will simultaneously become effective.

       

      2.15       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:

       

      

      
        71

        
          

      

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

       

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

       

      (c)          If any Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then (i) all or any part of such Letter of Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the
        limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages; provided that (A) each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Total Exposure may not in any event exceed the Commitment Percentage of the Loan Limit of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation
        and (B) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or any other Lender may have against such
        Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender, (ii) to the extent that all or any portion of the Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure cannot, or can only partially, be so reallocated to Non-Defaulting
        Lenders, whether by reason of the first proviso in Section 2.15(c)(i) or otherwise, the Borrower shall within two (2) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the applicable Issuing
        Bank only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above), in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.7
        for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding, (iii) if the Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.15(c), the Borrower shall not be
        required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.1(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is Cash
        Collateralized (and such fees shall be payable to the Issuing Banks), (iv) if the Letter of Credit Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.15(c), then the Letter of Credit Fees payable for the
        account of the Lenders pursuant to Section 4.1(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitment Percentages and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any Letter of Credit Fees to the Defaulting
        Lender pursuant to Section 4.1(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period that such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is reallocated, or (v) if any Defaulting Lender’s Letter
        of Credit Exposure is neither Cash Collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.15(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable
        under Section 4.1(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to such Issuing Bank until such Letter of Credit Exposure is Cash Collateralized and/or reallocated;

       

      
        72

        
          

      

      (d)        So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank will be required to issue any new Letter of Credit or amend any outstanding Letter of Credit to increase the Stated Amount thereof, alter the
        drawing terms thereunder or extend the expiry date thereof, unless each Issuing Bank is reasonably satisfied that any exposure that would result from the exposure to such Defaulting Lender is eliminated or fully covered by the Commitments of the
        Non-Defaulting Lenders or by Cash Collateralization or a combination thereof in accordance with clause (c) above or otherwise in a manner reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank, and participating interests in any such newly
        issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.15(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein);

       

      (e)          If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the
        Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon, as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting
        Lender and any applicable Cash Collateral shall be promptly returned to the Borrower and any Letter of Credit Exposure of such Lender reallocated pursuant to Section 2.15(c) shall be reallocated back to such Lender; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any
        party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender; and

       

      (f)          Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 11
        or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.8), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as
        follows:  first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of
        any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to each Issuing Bank hereunder; third, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of
        which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the
        Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts
        owing to the Lenders, each Issuing Bank as a result of any final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, such Issuing Bank against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its
        obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any final judgment of a court of competent
        jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to that Defaulting Lender or as
        otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Unpaid Drawings, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the
        relevant Loans of, and Unpaid Drawings owed to, the relevant non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied in the manner set forth in this Section 2.15(f).  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or
        payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 3.7 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender
        irrevocably consents hereto.

       

      2.16       Increase of Total Commitment.

       

      (a)         Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.16(b), the Borrower may increase the Total Commitment then in effect (any such increase an “Incremental Increase”) by increasing the
        Commitment of a Lender (an “Increasing Lender”) or by causing a Person that at such time is not a Lender to become a Lender (an “Additional Lender”).

       

      

      
        73

        
          

      

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

       

      (i)           such increase shall not be less than $10,000,000 (and increments of $1,000,000 above that minimum) unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents;

       

      (ii)          no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately after giving effect to such increase;

       

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

       

      (iv)         the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank must consent to the addition of any Additional Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed;

       

      (v)          the maturity date of such increase shall be the same as the Maturity Date;

       

      (vi)        for the avoidance of doubt, such increase shall be subject to the Borrowing Base (which may, subject to and in accordance with Section 2.14(b) (including the limitations
        on the number and frequency of Interim Redeterminations), be redetermined pursuant to an Interim Redetermination at the Borrower’s option immediately after giving effect to any acquisition of Borrowing Base Properties);

       

      (vii)       the increase shall be on the exact same terms and pursuant to the exact same documentation applicable to this Agreement (other than with respect to any arrangement, structuring, upfront
        or other fees or discounts payable in connection with such Incremental Increase) (provided that the Applicable Margin of the Facility shall be increased to be consistent with that for such Incremental
        Increases); and

       

      (viii)      the Borrower may seek commitments in respect of an Incremental Increase, in its sole discretion, from either (A) existing Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to
        participate in its sole discretion) or (B) from additional banks, financial institutions or other institutional lenders who will become Lenders hereunder with the consent of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank (such consent not to be
        unreasonably withheld or delayed).

       

      (c)         Any increase in the Total Commitment shall be implemented using customary documentation (any such documentation, an “Incremental Agreement”).  Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this
        Agreement and the other Credit Documents may be amended pursuant to an Incremental Agreement, without the consent of Lenders other than the Lenders providing such Incremental Increase, to the extent necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms
        of an Incremental Increase and (ii) address technical issues relating to funding and payments, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Incremental Agreement.

      2.17        Extension Offers.

       

      (a)         The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Commitments and related Loans of a given Class be amended to extend the scheduled Maturity Date thereof and to
        provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.17.  In order to establish an Extended Class, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders
        under the applicable Existing Class) (each, a “Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Class to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Class (including as
        to the proposed interest rates and fees payable, but excluding any arrangement, structuring or other similar fees payable in connection therewith that are not generally shared with all relevant Lenders) and offered pro rata to each Lender under
        such Existing Class and (y) be identical to the Commitments and Loans under the Existing Class from which such Extended Class is to be amended (the “Specified Existing Commitment Class”), except that: (i) the fees with respect to the
        Extended Commitments of any Extended Class may be different than the fees for the Commitments of such Existing Class, in each case to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, (ii) the yield with respect to the Extended Loans of
        any Extended Class (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the yield for the Loans of such Existing Class, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable
        Extension Amendment; (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the
        establishment of such Extended Class); provided that (A) in no event shall the final Maturity Date of any Extended Class of a given Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the
        Maturity Date of the Existing Class, (B) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing and (C) any Extended Loans of an Extended Class may participate on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis
        (but not greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary repayments or prepayments of principal of the Loans hereunder and on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any mandatory repayments or
        prepayments of Loans hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Loan Extension Request.  Any Class of Loans and Commitments amended pursuant to any Loan Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, an “Extension Series”)
        of Extended Commitments and Extended Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Commitments and Extended Loans amended from an Existing Class may, to the extent provided in the
        applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Extension Series with respect to an Existing Class.  Each request for an Extension Series of Extended Commitments and Extended Loans proposed to be incurred
        under this Section 2.17 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 (it being understood that the actual principal amount thereof provided by the applicable Lenders may be lower than such minimum
        amount) and the Borrower may impose an Extension Minimum Condition with respect to any Loan Extension Request, which may be waived by the Borrower in its sole discretion.

       

      (b)          The Borrower shall provide the applicable Loan Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior to the date on which Lenders
        under the Existing Class are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this
        Section 2.17.  No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Commitments and Loans of any Existing Class amended into an Extended Class pursuant to any Loan Extension Request.  Any Lender holding a Commitment or
        Loan under an Existing Class (each, an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Commitments and Loans under the Existing Class subject to such Loan Extension Request amended into Extended Commitments and Extended Loans
        shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Loan Extension Request of the amount of its Commitments and Loans under the Existing Class, which it has elected to request be
        amended into an Extended Class (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent).  In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Commitments and Loans under the Existing Class in respect of which
        applicable Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Loan Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Commitments and Extended Loans requested to be extended pursuant to the Loan Extension Request, Commitments and Loans subject to Extension
        Elections shall be amended to Extended Commitments and Extended Loans on a pro rata basis (subject to rounding by the Administrative Agent) based on the aggregate principal amount of Commitments and Loans included in each such Extension Election. 
        Notwithstanding the conversion of any Existing Commitment into an Extended Commitment, such Extended Commitment shall be treated identically to all Existing Commitments of the Specified Existing Commitment Class for purposes of the obligations of a
        Lender in respect of Letters of Credit under Section 3, except that the applicable Extension Amendment may provide that the last day for issuing Letters of Credit may be extended and the related obligations to issue Letters of Credit
        may be continued (pursuant to mechanics to be specified in the applicable Extension Amendment) so long as the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, has consented to such extensions.  For the avoidance of doubt, the last day for issuing Letters of
        Credit may not be extended (and the related obligations to issue Letters of Credit may not be continued) without the express consent of the applicable Issuing Bank.

       

      
        75

        
          

      

      (c)        Extended Commitments and Extended Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, a “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Extending
        Lender providing an Extended Commitment and Extended Loan thereunder (and the Issuing Bank, if applicable), which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Sections 2.17(a) and (b) above (but which shall not
        require the consent of any other Lender).  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment.  Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Credit Documents
        may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Commitment and Extended Loans incurred pursuant
        thereto, (ii) modify the prepayments set forth in Section 5.2 to reflect the existence of the Extended Commitments and Extended Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto in accordance with Section 2.17(a)(C),
        (iii) address technical issues relating to funding and payments and (iv) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Administrative
        Agent and of the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.17, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment.  Notwithstanding the other provisions
        of this Agreement, no Extension Amendment shall be effective unless (i) all Letter of Credit Exposure will be covered on terms reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank, (ii) [reserved] and (iii) the Available Commitment shall not exceed the
        Borrowing Base.

       

      (d)          No conversion of Commitments and Loans pursuant to any extension in accordance with this Section 2.17 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this
        Agreement.

       

      SECTION 3.        LETTERS OF CREDIT

       

      3.1         Letters of Credit.

       

      (a)         Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth (i) the Existing Letters of Credit shall be refunded, refinanced, replaced and deemed issued hereunder and, on and after the Closing Date, shall
        constitute Letters of Credit for all purposes hereunder and under the Credit Documents, at any time and from time to time on and (ii) after the Closing Date and prior to the L/C Maturity Date, each Issuing Bank, severally, and not jointly, agrees,
        in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 3, to issue upon the request of the Borrower and for the direct or indirect benefit of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, a letter of credit or
        letters of credit in dollars (the “Letters of Credit” and each, a “Letter of Credit”) in such form and with such Issuer Documents as may be approved by the applicable Issuing Bank in its reasonable discretion; provided that the Borrower shall be a co-applicant of, and jointly and severally liable with respect to, each Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Restricted Subsidiary.

       

      
        76

        
          

      

      (b)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letters of Credit Outstanding at such time, would exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment
        then in effect, (ii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which would cause the aggregate amount of all Lenders’ Total Exposures at such time to exceed the Loan Limit then in effect, (iii) each Letter of Credit shall have an
        expiration date occurring no later than fifteen (15) months after the date of issuance or such longer period of time as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the applicable
        Issuing Bank or as provided under Section 3.2(b); provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for automatic renewal thereof for additional periods of up to fifteen (15) months or such longer
        period of time as may be agreed upon by the applicable Issuing Bank, subject to the provisions of Section 3.2(b); provided, further, that in no event shall
        such expiration date occur later than the L/C Maturity Date unless arrangements which are reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank to Cash Collateralize (or backstop) such Letter of Credit have been made, (iv) no Letter of Credit
        shall be issued if it would be illegal under any applicable Requirement of Law for the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit to have a Letter of Credit issued in its favor, (v) no Letter of Credit shall be issued by an Issuing Bank after it has
        received a written notice from the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders stating that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing until such time as such Issuing Bank shall have received a written notice (A) of rescission of
        such notice from the party or parties originally delivering such notice, (B) of the waiver of such Default or Event of Default in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1 or (C) that such Default or Event of Default is no
        longer continuing and (vi) without the consent of the applicable Issuing Bank, no Letter of Credit shall be issued in any currency other than Dollars.

       

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

       

      3.2         Letter of Credit Applications.

       

      (a)         Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued, amended or renewed for its account on its own behalf, or on behalf of its Restricted Subsidiaries, the Borrower shall hand deliver or
        telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent a Letter of Credit application, amendment request or any
        such document in the Issuing Bank’s customary form or, if the relevant Issuing Bank does not maintain such a form, in such form as may be approved by the applicable Issuing Bank (each, a “Letter of Credit Application”).  Upon receipt of any
        Letter of Credit Application or amendment request, the applicable Issuing Bank will issue such Letter of Credit or amendment on the second Business Day after the relevant Letter of Credit Application is received, so long as such Letter of Credit
        Application is received no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day, or if received after such time or on a day that is not a Business Day, the third Business Day next succeeding receipt of such Letter of Credit Application. 
        No Issuing Bank shall issue any Letters of Credit unless such Issuing Bank shall have received notice from the Administrative Agent that the conditions to such issuance have been met.

       

      
        77

        
          

      

      (b)         If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic
        extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least
        once in each 15-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such 15-month period to be agreed
        upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Bank for any such extension.  Once an Auto-Extension Letter
        of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the L/C Maturity Date; provided, however, that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if (i) such Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no
        obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (b) of Section 3.1 or otherwise), or (ii) it has received notice
        (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 7 are not
        then satisfied, and in each such case directing such Issuing Bank not to permit such extension.

       

      (c)         Each Issuing Bank (other than the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates) shall provide the Administrative Agent with a reasonably detailed notice upon its issuance or amendment of any Letter of
        Credit, or upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it; provided that, upon written request from the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank shall promptly provide the Administrative Agent with
        a list of all Letters of Credit issued by it that are outstanding at such time.

       

      3.3         Letter of Credit Participations.

       

      (a)         Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender (each such Lender, in its capacity under this Section 3.3,
        an “L/C Participant”), and each such L/C Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (each an “L/C

          Participation”), to the extent of such L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage, in each Letter of Credit, each substitute therefor, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto,
        and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto.

       

      (b)         In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Bank shall have no obligation relative to the L/C Participants other than to confirm that (i) any documents required to be
        delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered, (ii) such Issuing Bank has examined the documents with reasonable care and (iii) the documents appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.  Any action
        taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent
        jurisdiction), shall not create for such Issuing Bank any resulting liability.

       

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

       

      
        78

        
          

      

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

       

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

       

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

       

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

       

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

       

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

       

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

       

      (vi)         any other event, condition of circumstance, whether or not similar to the foregoing.

      3.4         Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings.

       

      (a)         The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank by making payment in Dollars or to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank (whether with its own funds or with
        proceeds of the Loans) in immediately available funds, for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount so paid until reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”) (i) within one Business
        Day of the date of such payment or disbursement if such Issuing Bank provides notice to the Borrower of such payment or disbursement prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such next succeeding Business Day (from the date of such payment or
        disbursement) or (ii) if such notice is received after such time, on the next Business Day following the date of receipt of such notice (such required date for reimbursement under clause (i) or (ii), as applicable, on such Business
        Day (the “Reimbursement Date”)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Bank, from and including the date of such payment or disbursement to but excluding the Reimbursement Date, at the per annum rate for each day
        equal to the rate described in Section 2.8(a); provided that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Letter of Credit, (i) unless the
        Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Reimbursement Date that the Borrower intends to reimburse such Issuing Bank for the amount of such drawing with funds other
        than the proceeds of Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a Notice of Borrowing requesting that the Lenders make Loans (which shall be ABR Loans) on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount at such drawing, and (ii) the
        Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each L/C Participant of such drawing and the amount of its Loan to be made in respect thereof, and each L/C Participant shall be irrevocably obligated to make a Loan to the Borrower in the manner deemed to
        have been requested in the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the applicable Unpaid Drawing by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on such Reimbursement Date by making the amount of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent.  Such Loans made
        in respect of such Unpaid Drawing on such Reimbursement Date shall be made without regard to the Minimum Borrowing Amount and without regard to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7.  The Administrative Agent shall use
        the proceeds of such Loans solely for purpose of reimbursing the relevant Issuing Bank for the related Unpaid Drawing.  In the event that the Borrower fails to Cash Collateralize any Letter of Credit that is outstanding on the L/C Maturity Date,
        the full amount of the Letters of Credit Outstanding in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an Unpaid Drawing subject to the provisions of this Section 3.4 except that such Issuing Bank shall hold the proceeds
        received from the Lenders as contemplated above as cash collateral for such Letter of Credit to reimburse any Drawing under such Letter of Credit and shall use such proceeds first, to reimburse itself for
        any Drawings made in respect of such Letter of Credit following the L/C Maturity Date, second, to the extent such Letter of Credit expires or is returned undrawn while any such cash collateral remains, to
        the repayment of obligations in respect of any Loans that have not paid at such time and third, to the Borrower or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Nothing in this Section 3.4(a)
        shall affect the Borrower’s obligation to repay all outstanding Loans when due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

       

      
        80

        
          

      

      (b)         The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3.4 to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute,
        unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower or any other Person may have or have had against such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any
        Lender (including in its capacity as an L/C Participant), including any defense based upon (i) the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit (each a “Drawing”) to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit, (ii) any non-application
        or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing, (iii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (iv) any draft or other document presented under a
        Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that
        might, but for the provisions of this Section 3.4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder; provided that the
        foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the relevant Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby
        waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care pursuant to the applicable ICC Rule or applicable law when determining whether drafts and
        other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or
        documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Bank to the Borrower; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s
        failure to exercise care, when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  In
        furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit may in its sole
        discretion either accept or make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are
        not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit (unless the Borrower shall consent to payment thereon not withstanding such lack of strict compliance).

       

      3.5         New or Successor Issuing Bank.

       

      (a)        Any Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower.  The Borrower may replace any Issuing Bank for any reason
        upon written notice to such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent and may add Issuing Banks at any time upon notice to the Administrative Agent.  If an Issuing Bank shall resign or be replaced, or if the Borrower shall decide to add a new
        Issuing Bank under this Agreement, then the Borrower may appoint from among the Lenders (who have agreed to act as successor issuer of Letters of Credit or a new Issuing Bank) a successor issuer of Letters of Credit or a new Issuing Bank, as the
        case may be, or, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) and such new Issuing Bank, another successor or new issuer of Letters of Credit, whereupon such successor issuer shall succeed to the
        rights, powers and duties of the replaced or resigning Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, or such new issuer of Letters of Credit shall be granted the rights, powers and duties of an Issuing Bank hereunder, and the
        term “Issuing Bank” shall mean such successor or such new issuer of Letters of Credit effective upon such appointment.  The acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder whether as a successor issuer or new issuer of Letters of Credit
        in accordance with this Agreement, shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, from and after the
        effective date of such agreement, such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall become an “Issuing Bank” hereunder.  After the resignation or replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the resigning or replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a
        party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be
        required to issue additional Letters of Credit.  In connection with any resignation or replacement pursuant to this clause (a) (but, in case of any such resignation, only to the extent that a successor issuer of Letters of Credit
        shall have been appointed), either (i) the Borrower, the resigning or replaced Issuing Bank and the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall arrange to have any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Issuing Bank
        replaced with Letters of Credit issued by the successor issuer of Letters of Credit or (ii) the Borrower shall cause the successor issuer of Letters of Credit, if such successor issuer is reasonably satisfactory to the replaced or resigning Issuing
        Bank, to issue “back-stop” Letters of Credit naming the resigning or replaced Issuing Bank as beneficiary for each outstanding Letter of Credit issued by the resigning or replaced Issuing Bank, which new Letters of Credit shall have a Stated Amount
        equal to the Letters of Credit being back-stopped and the sole requirement for drawing on such new Letters of Credit shall be a drawing on the corresponding back- stopped Letters of Credit.  After any resigning or replaced Issuing Bank’s
        resignation or replacement as Issuing Bank, the provisions of this Agreement relating to an Issuing Bank shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it (A) while it was an Issuing Bank under this Agreement or (B) at
        any time with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

       

      
        81

        
          

      

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

       

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

       

      
        82

        
          

      

      3.7         Cash Collateral.

       

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

       

      (b)         If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Loans shall have been accelerated in accordance with Section 11, the Majority Lenders may require that the L/C Obligations be Cash
        Collateralized; provided that, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default referred to in Section 11.5 with respect to the Borrower, the Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the
        Letters of Credit then outstanding and no notice or request by or consent from the Majority Lenders shall be required.

       

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

       

      3.8         Applicability of ISP and UCP.  The Borrower agrees that any Issuing Bank may issue Letters of Credit hereunder subject to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, International
        Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) Publication Nos. 600 (2007 Revision) (“UCP 600”) or, at such Issuing Bank’s option, such later revision thereof in effect at the time of issuance of the Letter of Credit or the International Standby
        Practices 1998, ICC Publication No. 590 or, at such Issuing Bank’s option, such later revision thereof in effect at the time of issuance of any such Letter of Credit (“ISP 98”, and each of the UCP 600 and the ISP 98, an “ICC Rule”). 
        Each Issuing Bank’s privileges, rights and remedies under such ICC Rules shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, its privileges, rights and remedies expressly provided for herein.  The Borrower agrees for matters not addressed by the
        chosen ICC Rule, each Letter of Credit shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of New York and applicable United States Federal laws; provided that if at Borrower’s request, a Letter of
        Credit chooses a state or country law other than New York State law and United States Federal law or is silent with respect to the choice of an ICC Rule or a governing law, the Issuing Bank shall not be liable for any payment, cost, expense or loss
        resulting from any action or inaction taken by the Issuing Bank if such action or inaction is or would be justified under an ICC Rule, New York law or applicable United States Federal law, and Borrower shall indemnify Issuing Bank for all such
        payments, costs, expenses or losses.

       

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

       

      3.10      Letters of Credit Issued for Restricted Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a
        Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit.  The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account
        of Restricted Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Restricted Subsidiaries.

       

      
        83

        
          

      

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

       

      3.12      Independence.  The Borrower acknowledges that the rights and obligations of each Issuing Bank under each Letter of Credit issued by it are independent of the existence, performance or nonperformance
        of any contract or arrangement underlying such Letter of Credit, including contracts or arrangements between such Issuing Bank and the Borrower (other than the Credit Documents and the Issuer Documents) and between the Borrower and the relevant
        beneficiary.

       

      SECTION 4.       FEES; COMMITMENTS.

       

      4.1         Fees.

       

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

       

      (b)        The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the account of the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective Letter of Credit Exposure, a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit
        (the “Letter of Credit Fee”), for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit until the termination or expiration date of such Letter of Credit computed at the per annum rate for each day equal to the Applicable Margin for
        LIBOR Loans on the average daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit.  Such Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable (i) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and (ii) on the Termination
        Date (for the period for which no payment has been received pursuant to clause (i) above).

       

      
        84

        
          

      

      (c)         The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Bank a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it (the “Fronting Fee”), for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to the
        termination or expiration date of such Letter of Credit, computed at the rate for each day equal to the greater of $500 and 0.250% per annum (or such other amount as may be agreed in a separate writing between the Borrower and the relevant Issuing
        Bank) on the average daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit (or at such other rate per annum as agreed in writing between the Borrower and the relevant Issuing Bank).  Such Fronting Fees shall be due and payable by the Borrower (i) quarterly
        in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and (ii) on the Termination Date (for the period for which no payment has been received pursuant to clause (i) above).

       

      (d)         The Borrower agrees to pay directly to each Issuing Bank upon each issuance of, drawing under, and/or amendment of, a Letter of Credit issued by it such amount as the relevant Issuing Bank and the Borrower
        shall have agreed upon for issuances of, drawings under or amendments of, letters of credit issued by it.

       

      (e)          The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the administrative agent fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in writing from time to time between the Administrative Agent and the
        Borrower.

       

      4.2         Voluntary Reduction of Commitments.

       

      (a)         Upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office (which notice the
        Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, without premium or penalty, on any day, permanently to terminate or reduce the Commitments of any Class, as determined by the Borrower, in
        whole or in part; provided that (a) with respect to the Commitments, any such termination or reduction shall apply proportionately and permanently to reduce the Commitments of each of the Lenders of such
        Class, except that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) the Borrower may allocate any termination or reduction of Commitments among Classes of Commitments either (A) ratably among Classes or (B) first to the Commitments with respect to any Existing
        Commitments and second to any Extended Commitments and (2) in connection with the establishment on any date of any Extended Commitments pursuant to Section 2.17, (i) the Existing Commitments of each Lender providing any such Extended
        Commitments on such date shall be reduced in an amount equal to the amount of Specified Existing Commitments so extended on such date by such Lender and (ii) the Existing Commitments of any Lender not providing such Extended Commitments shall be
        reduced, solely to the extent elected to be reduced by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17, among the Class or Classes of Commitments elected by the Borrower (provided that (x) after giving
        effect to any such reduction and to the repayment of any Loans made on such date, the Total Exposure of any such Lender does not exceed the Commitment of such Lender (such Total Exposure and Commitment in the case of an Extending Lender being
        determined for purposes of this proviso, for the avoidance of doubt, exclusive of such Extending Lender’s Extended Commitment and any exposure in respect thereof) and (y) for the avoidance of doubt, any such repayment of Loans contemplated by the
        preceding clause (x) shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 5.3(a) with respect to the ratable allocation of payments hereunder, with such allocation being determined after giving effect to any
        conversion pursuant to Section 2.17 of Existing Commitments and Existing Loans into Extended Commitments and Extended Loans respectively, and prior to any reduction being made to the Commitment of any other Lender), (b) any partial
        reduction pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be in the amount of at least $1,000,000 and (c) after giving effect to such termination or reduction and to any prepayments of Loans or cancellation or Cash Collateralization of Letters of
        Credit made on the date thereof in accordance with this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Total Exposures shall not exceed the Loan Limit.

       

      
        85

        
          

      

      (b)        The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the
        Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.15(f) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal,
        interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts), provided that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender
        may have against such Defaulting Lender.

       

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any such notice of commitment termination pursuant to Section 4.2 may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence or
        non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective
        date) if such condition is not satisfied.

       

      4.3         Mandatory Termination of Commitments. The Total Commitment shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the
        Termination Date.

       

      SECTION 5.        PAYMENTS.

       

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

       

      (a)         the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to make such prepayment, the amount of
        such prepayment and (in the case of LIBOR Loans) the specific Borrowing(s) being prepaid, which notice shall be given by the Borrower no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) (i) in the case of LIBOR Loans, three (3) Business Days prior to the
        date of such prepayment and (ii) in the case of ABR Loans on the date of such prepayment and shall promptly be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to each of the Lenders;

       

      (b)        each partial prepayment of (i) LIBOR Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof or a lesser amount to the extent such lesser amount represents the entire
        aggregate outstanding LIBOR Loans at such time, and (ii) any ABR Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof or a lesser amount to the extent such lesser amount represents the entire aggregate
        outstanding ABR Loans at such time; provided that no partial prepayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding LIBOR Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an
        amount less than the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount for such LIBOR Loans; and

       

      (c)         any prepayment of LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section 5.1 on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto shall be subject to compliance by the Borrower with the
        applicable provisions of, including any breakage costs as set forth in, Section 2.11.

       

      Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type and Class of Loans to be prepaid.  At the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.1, such prepayment shall
        not be applied to any Loans of a Defaulting Lender. 

      

       

      

      
        86

        
          

      

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any such notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 5.1 may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any
        event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition
        is not satisfied.

       

      5.2         Mandatory Prepayments.

       

      (a)         Repayment following Optional Reduction of Commitments.  If, after giving effect to any termination or reduction of the Commitments pursuant to Section 4.2(a), the aggregate Total
        Exposures of all Lenders exceeds the Loan Limit (as reduced), then the Borrower shall on the same Business Day (i) prepay the Loans on the date of such termination or reduction in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess and (ii) if any
        excess remains after prepaying all of the Loans as a result of any Letter of Credit Exposure, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Issuing Banks and the L/C Participants an amount in cash or otherwise Cash Collateralize an amount equal
        to such excess as provided in Section 3.7.

       

      (b)         Repayment of Loans Following Redetermination or Adjustment of Borrowing Base.

       

      (i)           Upon the effectiveness of a redetermination of the Borrowing Base in accordance with Section 2.14(d) or an adjustment of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section
          2.14(g), if a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, then the Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days after (x) its receipt of a New Borrowing Base Notice indicating such Borrowing Base Deficiency or (y) in the case of Section 2.14(g)
        the effectiveness of a new Borrowing Base, inform the Administrative Agent that it intends to take one or more of the following actions (provided that, if the Borrower fails to inform the Administrative Agent within such ten (10) Business
        Day period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected (B) below):  (A) within thirty (30) days following receipt of the notice provided in clauses (x) and (y) above, prepay the Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess,
        (B) prepay the Loans in six equal monthly installments, commencing on the 30th day following receipt of the notice provided in clauses (x) and (y) above, with each payment being equal to l/6th of the aggregate principal amount of such excess,
        (C) within thirty (30) days following receipt of the notice provided in clauses (x) and (y) above, provide additional Oil and Gas Properties (accompanied by reasonably acceptable Engineering Reports) not evaluated in the most recently delivered
        Reserve Report (which shall become Mortgaged Properties within the time period prescribed by Section 9.11(d) regardless of whether the Collateral Coverage Minimum is then satisfied) or other Collateral reasonably acceptable to the
        Administrative Agent having a Borrowing Base Value (as proposed by the Administrative Agent and approved by the Required Lenders) sufficient, after giving effect to any other actions taken pursuant to this Section 5.2(b)(i) to
        eliminate any such excess, or (D) undertake a combination of clauses (A), (B), and (C); provided that if, because of Letter of Credit Exposure, a Borrowing Base Deficiency remains
        after prepaying all of the Loans, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize such remaining Borrowing Base Deficiency as provided in Section 3.7; provided further, that any Borrowing Base
        Deficiency must be cured on or prior to the Termination Date.

       

      (ii)          Upon any adjustment to the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 2.14(e), (f) or (h), if a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, as adjusted, then the Borrower
        shall, (A) prepay the Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess and (B) if any excess remains after prepaying all of the Loans as a result of any Letter of Credit Exposure, Cash Collateralize such excess as provided in Section 3.7. 

        Upon any Disposition pursuant to Section 10.4(m) when (A) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (B) a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or would result therefrom (unless the net cash proceeds of such Disposition are
        sufficient, together with Unrestricted Cash, to eliminate any Borrowing Base Deficiency that exists or would result therefrom), the Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day prepay the Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate
        net cash proceeds of all such Dispositions in excess of $5,000,000 in any fiscal year.  The Borrower shall be obligated to make any prepayment and/or deposit of cash collateral under this clause (ii) no later than one (1) Business Day following the
        dates of any applicable adjustment of the Borrowing Base; provided that all payments required to be made pursuant to this clause (ii) must be made on or prior to the Termination Date.

       

      
        87

        
          

      

      (iii)         Upon a reduction of the Borrowing Base in accordance with Section 2.14(j), if a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, then the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in equal monthly
        installments, commencing on the 30th day following such reduction of the Borrowing Base; provided that if, because of Letter of Credit Exposure, a Borrowing Base Deficiency remains after prepaying all of
        the Loans, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize such remaining Borrowing Base Deficiency as provided in Section 3.7; provided further, that any Borrowing Base Deficiency must be cured on or prior
        to the earlier of the Termination Date and the effective date of the April 1, 2020 Scheduled Redetermination.

       

      (iv)        At any time that Permitted Additional Debt (other than Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) shall be incurred or issued while a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, the
        Borrower shall, upon the incurrence or issuance of such Permitted Additional Debt, prepay the Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lesser of (A) one hundred percent (100%) of the net cash proceeds received in respect of such
        Permitted Additional Debt and (B) the aggregate principal amount equal to (1) such Borrowing Base Deficiency and (2) if excess remains after prepaying all of the Loans as a result of any Letter of Credit Exposure, Cash Collateralize such excess as
        provided in Section 3.7.

       

      (v)          From after the Closing Date through and until January 1, 2021, upon any Disposition (other than a Disposition pursuant to Section 10.4(a)) pursuant to which any Credit Party
        receives net cash proceeds in excess of $10,000,000, the Borrower shall, within one (1) Business Day of the receipt of the net cash proceeds of such Disposition, prepay the Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lesser of (A) such net
        cash proceeds and (B) the outstanding principal amount of the Loans at such time.

       

      (c)         Application to Loans.  With respect to each prepayment of Loans elected under Section 5.1 or required by Section 5.2, the Borrower may designate (i) the Types and Class
        of Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) being repaid and (ii) the Loans to be prepaid; provided that (A) each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro
        rata among such Loans, and (B) notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding clause (A), no prepayment of Loans shall be applied to the Loans of any Defaulting Lender except in accordance with Section 2.15(f).  In the absence of a
        designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.11.

       

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

       

      
        88

        
          

      

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

       

      5.3         Method and Place of Payment.

       

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

       

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

       

      5.4         Net Payments.

       

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

       

      
        89

        
          

      

      (b)         The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, any Other Taxes
        (whether or not such Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority).

       

      (c)         The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender within fifteen (15) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any
        Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender, as the case may be (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.4),
        and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the
        basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (as applicable) on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest
        error and shall constitute a required notice for purposes of Section 2.13.

       

      (d)        Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed
        documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not any payments made hereunder or under any other Credit
        Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of any payments to be made to such
        Lender by any Credit Party pursuant to any Credit Document or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
        Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such
        Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation
        set forth in Section 5.4(e)(i)(A), (B), (C) and (D),Section 5.4(f),  Section 5.4(h) and Section 5.4(i) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion,
        execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

       

      (e)          Without limiting the generality of Section 5.4(d), each Non-U.S. Lender with respect to any Loan made to the Borrower shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so:

       

      
        90

        
          

      

      (i)           deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement, two copies of (A) in the case of a Non-U.S.
        Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as
        applicable (or any applicable successor form) (together with a certificate (substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto) representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not a “10-percent
        shareholder” (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower, and is not a CFC described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code); (B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the
        United States is a party, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any applicable successor form), in each case properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S.
        federal withholding tax on payments by the Borrower under this Agreement; (C) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; (D) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, IRS Form W-8IMY (or any applicable successor form) and all necessary
        attachments (including the forms described in clauses (A), (B) and (C) above, provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and not a participating Lender, and one or more of the partners is claiming portfolio interest treatment, a
        certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto may be provided by such Non-U.S. Lender on behalf of such partners) or (E) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal
        withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

       

      (ii)         deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of any such form or certification (or any applicable successor form) promptly after such form or certification
        expires or becomes obsolete or invalid, after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested
        by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or promptly notify in writing the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such Non-U.S. Lender’s inability to do so.

       

      (iii)        Each Person that shall become a Participant pursuant to Section 13.6 or a Lender pursuant to Section 13.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related
        transfer, be required to provide all the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 5.4(e); provided that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such
        required forms and statements to the Person from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

       

      (f)          In addition, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, each Agent shall deliver to the Borrower (x) prior to the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter
        upon the reasonable request of the Borrower) or the date on which such Agent becomes a successor Agent pursuant to Section 12.9, as applicable, (i), if such Agent is a United States person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30 of the
        Code, two copies of a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Agent is financial institution within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-2(b)(2)(ii) and exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding, or (ii) if
        such Agent is not a United States person, a properly completed and executed applicable IRS Form W-8IMY for payments that the Administrative Agent does not receive for its own account, certifying that it is either a “U.S. branch” within the meaning
        of US Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)(A) or a “Qualifying Intermediary” that assumes primary withholding responsibility under Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 of the Code and for Form 1099 reporting and backup withholding and (B) IRS Form
        W-8ECI for payments that the Administrative Agent receives for its own account, and (y) on or before the date on which any such previously delivered documentation expires or becomes obsolete or invalid, after the occurrence of any event requiring a
        change in the most recent documentation previously delivered by it to the Borrower, and from time to time if reasonably requested by the Borrower, two further copies of such documentation.

       

      
        91

        
          

      

      (g)        If any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax
        for which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.4), then the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the
        case may be, shall reimburse the Borrower or such Guarantor for such amount (net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and without interest other than any
        interest received thereon from the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund) as the Lender, Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith to be the
        proportion of the refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, not in a less favorable net after-Tax position (taking into account expenses or any taxes imposed on the refund) than it would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification
        and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid; provided that the
        Borrower or such Guarantor, upon the request of the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower or such Guarantor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by
        the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in the event the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  In such
        event, such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund
        received from the relevant Governmental Authority (provided that such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may delete any information therein that it deems confidential).  No Lender nor
        the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be obliged to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Credit Party in connection with this clause (g)
        or any other provision of this Section 5.4.

       

      (h)         Each U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two IRS Forms W-9 (or substitute or successor form), properly completed and duly executed, certifying that such U.S. Lender is
        exempt from United States federal backup withholding (i) on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, (ii) reasonably promptly after such form expires or becomes obsolete or invalid, (iii) after the occurrence of a change in the
        U.S. Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (iv) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
        Agent.

       

      (i)         If a payment made to any Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable
        reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or
        times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the
        Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA
        or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this Section 5.4(j), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

       

      (j)          For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 5.4, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” or “Requirement of Law” includes FATCA.

       

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

       

      
        92

        
          

      

      5.5         Computations of Interest and Fees.

       

      (a)         Except as provided in the next succeeding sentence, interest on LIBOR Loans and ABR Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.  Interest on ABR Loans in respect of
        which the rate of interest is calculated on the basis of the Administrative Agent’s prime rate and interest on overdue interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.

       

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

       

      5.6         Limit on Rate of Interest.

       

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

       

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

       

      (c)         Adjustment if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate.  If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents would obligate the Borrower or any other Credit Party to make any
        payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate that would be prohibited by any applicable Requirement of Law, then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been
        adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable Requirements of Law, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate
        of interest required to be paid by the Borrower to the affected Lender under Section 2.8.

       

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

      SECTION 7.       CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO ALL SUBSEQUENT CREDIT EVENTS.

       

      The agreement of each Lender to make any Loan requested to be made by it on any date after the Closing Date (excluding Loans required to be made by the Lenders in respect of Unpaid Drawings pursuant to Sections 3.3

        Application meeting the requirements of Section 3.2(a).

       

      The acceptance of the benefits of each Credit Event after the Closing Date shall constitute a representation and warranty by each Credit Party to each of the Lenders that all the applicable conditions specified in Section 7 above have
        been satisfied as of that time.

       

      SECTION 8.       REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS

        representations and warranties to, and agreements with, the Lenders, all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit:

       

      8.1         Existence, Qualification and Power.  Each of the Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower (a) is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
        organization and has the corporate or other organizational power and authority to own its property and assets and to transact its business as now conducted and (b) has duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing (if
        applicable) in all jurisdictions where it is required to be so qualified, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

       

      
        98

        
          

      

      8.2        Corporate Power and Authority; Enforceability; Binding Effect.  After giving effect to the Confirmation Order and the Chapter 11 Plan, each Credit Party has the corporate or other organizational
        power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance
        of the Credit Documents to which it is a party.  Each Credit Party has duly executed and delivered each Credit Document to which it is a party and each such Credit Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party
        enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (whether
        considered in a proceeding in equity or law).

       

      8.3         No Violation.  After giving effect to the Confirmation Order and the Chapter 11 Plan, none of the execution, delivery or performance by any Credit Party of the Credit Documents to which it is a
        party will (a) contravene any Requirement of Law, except to the extent such contravention would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (b) result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of,
        or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any of the property or assets of such Credit Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Liens created under
        the Credit Documents and Permitted Liens) pursuant to the terms of any indenture, loan agreement, lease agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or other instrument to which such Credit Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or
        by which it or any of its property or assets is bound (any such term, covenant, condition or provision, a “Contractual Requirement”) except to the extent such breach, default or Lien that would not reasonably be expected to result in a
        Material Adverse Effect or (c) violate any provision of the Organization Documents of such Credit Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries.

       

      8.4        Litigation.  After giving effect to the Confirmation Order and the Chapter 11 Plan, except as set forth on Schedule 8.4, there are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims or disputes
        pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, by or against the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or against any of their properties or
        revenues that either individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

       

      8.5         Margin Regulations.  Neither the making of any Loan hereunder nor the use of the proceeds thereof will violate the provisions of Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board.

       

      8.6        Governmental Authorization; Confirmation Order.  After giving effect to the Confirmation Order and the Chapter 11 Plan, the execution, delivery and performance of each Credit Document do not require

        the Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiary specified as the owner owns the working interests and net revenue interests attributable to the Hydrocarbon Interests as such working interests and net revenue interests are reflected in the most recently
        delivered Reserve Report, and the ownership of such properties shall not in any material respect obligate the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary to bear the costs and expenses relating to the maintenance, development and operations of each such
        property in an amount in excess of the working interest of each property set forth in the most recently delivered Reserve Report that is not offset by a corresponding proportionate increase in the Borrower’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s net
        revenue interest in such property.

       

      (b)         After giving effect to the Confirmation Order and the Chapter 11 Plan, all material leases and agreements necessary for the conduct of the business of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries are valid

        all rights and properties necessary to permit the Credit Parties to conduct their respective businesses as currently conducted, except to the extent any failure to have any such rights or properties would not reasonably be expected to have a
        Material Adverse Effect.

       

      (d)         After giving effect to the Confirmation Order and the Chapter 11 Plan, all of the properties of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries that are reasonably necessary for the operation of their
        businesses are in good working condition and are maintained in accordance with prudent business standards, except to the extent any failure to satisfy the foregoing would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

        therein as security for the Obligations to the extent that a legal, valid, binding and enforceable Lien or security interest in such Collateral may be created under any applicable Requirement of Law, which Lien or security interest, upon the filing
        of financing statements, recordation of the Mortgages or the obtaining of possession or “control,” in each case, as applicable, with respect to the relevant Collateral as required under the applicable UCC or applicable local law, will constitute a
        fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Borrower and each other Credit Party thereunder in such Collateral, in each case prior and superior (except as otherwise provided for in the relevant Security
        Document) in right to any other Person (other than Permitted Liens), in each case to the extent that a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the applicable UCC, recordation of the Mortgages under applicable
        local law or by obtaining possession or “control.”

       

      (b)         After giving effect to the Confirmation Order and the Chapter 11 Plan, neither the Borrower nor any of the Restricted Subsidiaries is a party to any material agreement or arrangement (other than those
        permitted hereunder), or subject to any order, judgment, writ or decree, which either restricts or purports to restrict its ability to grant Liens to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on or in respect of their Oil and Gas Properties to
        secure the Obligations and the Credit Documents.

      any additional Mortgages.  In order to comply with the foregoing, if any Restricted Subsidiary places a Lien on its property and such Restricted Subsidiary is not a Guarantor, then it shall become a Guarantor and comply with the provisions of Sections

      9.11(a) and (b).

     

    (e)         Without limitation of clause (a), (b) or (d) above, substantially simultaneously and prior to the delivery of any mortgage or deed of trust on any Oil and
      Gas Property for the benefit of any other secured party and securing Indebtedness that is subject to any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Borrower shall, or shall cause the relevant Credit Party to, grant to the Collateral Agent as security
      for the Obligations a Lien on such Oil and Gas Property.  All such Liens will be created and perfected by and in accordance with the provisions of the Security Documents, including, if applicable, any additional Mortgages.  In order to comply with
      the foregoing, if any Restricted Subsidiary places a Lien on its property and such Subsidiary is not a Guarantor, then it shall become a Guarantor and comply with the provisions of Sections 9.11(a) and (b).

     

    
      113

      
        

    

    9.12       Use of Proceeds.  The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans and Letters of Credit made (a) on the Closing Date (i) to refinance in full the Pre-Petition Credit Agreement and
      the DIP Facility and to refund, refinance and replace the Existing Letters of Credit outstanding on the Closing Date and (ii) to pay Transaction Expenses and (b) after the Closing Date (i) for the acquisition, development and exploration of oil and
      gas properties, (ii) to provide for the working capital needs of the Borrower and its subsidiaries and (iii) for other general corporate purposes (in each case, as permitted by the Credit Documents).  The Borrower shall not use, and shall procure
      that its Subsidiaries and its or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall not use, the proceeds of the Loans (A) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or
      anything else of value, to any Person in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and other applicable anti-corruption laws, (B) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business
      or transaction of or with any Person that is, or is owned or controlled by a Person that is, at the time of such financing, the subject or target of any Sanctions, or in any country or territory that is the subject of comprehensive Sanctions, (C) in
      any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions Laws applicable to any party hereto or (D) in violation of the provisions of Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board.

     

    9.13        Further Assurances.

     

    (a)          Subject to the applicable limitations set forth in the Security Documents, the Borrower will, and will cause each other Credit Party to, execute any and all further documents, financing
      statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, assignments of as-extracted collateral arising from the Borrowing Base Properties, mortgages,
      deeds of trust and other documents) that the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders may reasonably request, in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the security interests created or intended to be created by
      the applicable Security Documents, all at the expense of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries.

     

    (b)          [Reserved].

     

    (c)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Collateral Agreement, or any other Credit Document, the Administrative Agent may grant extensions of time for or waivers of
      the requirements of the creation or perfection of security interests in or the obtaining of title opinions or other title information, legal opinions, appraisals and surveys with respect to particular assets (including extensions beyond the Closing
      Date for the perfection of security interests in the assets of the Credit Parties on such date) where it reasonably determines, in consultation with the Borrower, that perfection or obtaining of such items is not required by law or cannot be
      accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required by this Agreement or the other Credit Documents.

     

    (d)         Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.13 or anything in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary: (A) the Collateral shall not
      include any Excluded Assets; (B) except as provided in Section 9.17 hereof, no deposit account control agreement, securities account control agreement, commodity account control agreement or other control agreements or control arrangements
      shall be required with respect to any deposit account, securities account, commodity account or other asset specifically requiring perfection through control agreements; and (C) no actions in any jurisdiction outside of the United States or that are
      necessary to comply with any Requirement of Law of any jurisdiction outside of the United States shall be required in order to create any security interest in assets located, titled, registered or filed outside of the United States or to perfect such
      security interests (it being understood that there shall be no collateral agreements, security agreements, pledge agreements, or share charge (or mortgage) agreements governed under the laws of any jurisdiction outside of the United States; provided that nothing in this Section 9.13 or any other provision of the Credit Documents shall affect or impair the Borrower’s obligation to meet the Collateral Coverage Minimum).

      Section 8.17 with respect to the Credit Parties’ Oil and Gas Property evaluated in such Reserve Report that would require the Borrower or any other Credit Party to deliver Hydrocarbons either generally or produced from such Oil and Gas
      Properties at some future time without then or thereafter receiving full payment therefor;

     

    (vii)        none of the Borrowing Base Properties have been Disposed of since the date of the last Borrowing Base determination except those Borrowing Base Properties listed on
      such certificate as having been Disposed of; and

     

    (viii)      the certificate shall also attach, as schedules thereto, a list of (1) all material marketing agreements (which are not cancellable on sixty (60) days’ notice or less
      without penalty or detriment) entered into subsequent to the later of the Closing Date and the most recently delivered Reserve Report for the sale of production of the Credit Parties’ Hydrocarbons at a fixed non-index price (including calls on, or
      other parties rights to purchase, production, whether or not the same are currently being exercised) that represent in respect of such agreements 2.5% or more of the Credit Parties’ average monthly production of Hydrocarbon volumes and that have a
      maturity date or expiry date of longer than six (6) months from the last day of such fiscal year or period, as applicable and (2) all Borrowing Base Properties evaluated by such Reserve Report that are Collateral and demonstrating compliance with
      (calculated at the time of delivery of such Reserve Report) the Collateral Coverage Minimum.

     

    9.15       Reserved.

     

    9.16       Title Information.

     

    (a)          On or before:

     

    (i)         the date that is sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Borrower will deliver title information (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
      Administrative Agent) with respect to the Borrowing Base Properties consistent with usual and customary standards for the geographic regions in which the Borrowing Base Properties are located, taking into account the size, scope and number of leases

      information (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) with respect to the Borrowing Base Properties consistent with usual and customary standards for the geographic regions in which the Borrowing Base Properties are
      located, taking into account the size, scope and number of leases and wells of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as is required to demonstrate satisfactory title on 80% of the PV-9 value of the Borrowing Base Properties evaluated by such
      Reserve Report.

    (b)        If title information has been provided under Section 9.16(a) and the Administrative Agent provides written notice to the Borrower that title defects or exceptions exist with
      respect to such properties, then the Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days of its receipt of such notice (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) (i) cure any such title defects or exceptions
      (including defects or exceptions as to priority of the Collateral Agent’s Liens that are not permitted by Section 10.2) raised by such information, (ii) substitute acceptable Mortgaged Properties having an equivalent value with no title
      defects or exceptions except for Liens permitted by Section 10.2 and/or (iii) deliver title information (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) so that the Administrative Agent shall have received,
      (including title information previously made available to the Administrative Agent) reasonably satisfactory title information on at least 80% of the PV-9 of the Credit Parties’ Borrowing Base Properties evaluated by such Reserve Report.

     

    (c)          If any title defect or exception requested by the Administrative Agent to be cured cannot be cured or if the Borrower is unable to provide reasonably acceptable title information on at
      least 80% of the PV-9 of the Credit Parties’ Borrowing Base Properties evaluated by such Reserve Report, in each case, within such 30-day period (or longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), such default shall
      not be a Default or Event of Default, but instead the Administrative Agent and Required Lenders shall have the right to adjust the Borrowing Base as contemplated by Section 2.14(g).

     

    9.17       Deposit Account, Securities Account and Commodity Account Control Agreements.

     

    (a)        The Borrower will, and will cause each Guarantor to, in connection with any Deposit Account, Securities Account or Commodity Account, in each case, other than any Excluded Account for so
      long as it is an Excluded Account (i) held or maintained on the Closing Date by the Borrower or any such Guarantor, promptly but in any event within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date (or such later date as the Collateral Agent may agree in its
      sole discretion), enter into and deliver to the Collateral Agent a deposit account control agreement (a “Deposit Account Control Agreement”), securities account control agreement (a “Securities Account Control Agreement”) or commodity
      account control agreement (a “Commodity Account Control Agreement”), as applicable, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the account bank, securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, as applicable,

      and deliver to the Collateral Agent a Deposit Account Control Agreement, Securities Account Control Agreement or Commodity Account Control Agreement, as applicable, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the account
      bank, securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, as applicable, for any such Deposit Account, Securities Account or Commodity Account; provided that the Borrower or such Guarantor shall be deemed to
      have satisfied the requirements of this Section 9.17(a)(ii) with respect to any Deposit Account, Securities Account or Commodity Account that is acquired by the Borrower or such Guarantor as a result of a Permitted Acquisition, so long as,
      within thirty (30) days after the date of such Permitted Acquisition (or such later date as the Collateral Agent may agree in its sole discretion), the Borrower or such Guarantor (A) causes such account to be subject to a Deposit Account Control
      Agreement, Securities Account Control Agreement or Commodity Account Control Agreement, as applicable, that satisfies the requirements of this Section 9.17(a)(ii) or (B) closes such account and transfers any funds therein to an account that

      continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may give instructions directing the disposition of funds credited to any Controlled Account and/or withhold any withdrawal rights from the Borrower or any Guarantor with respect to funds
      credited to any Controlled Account.

    9.18       Minimum Hedged Volumes.

     

    (a)        To the extent that the Borrower and/or other Credit Parties have not entered into the Initial Required Hedge Agreements as of the Closing Date, the Borrower and/or other Credit Parties
      shall, within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) (such date, the “Post-Closing Hedge Deadline”), enter into the Initial Required Hedge Agreements (such
      requirement, the “Post-Closing Initial Required Hedge Agreements Covenant”).

     

    (b)        On the date of the Post-Closing Hedge Deadline, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and Lenders of the Reduction Amount.  Upon the Borrower’s receipt of such written notice,

      entered into not for speculative purposes at prices reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and in the form of swaps, costless collars or other commodity Hedge Agreements reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the notional
      volumes for which (when aggregated with other commodity Hedge Agreements then in effect in the form of swaps, costless collars or other commodity Hedge Agreements reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) are no less than, as of the date the
      compliance certificate for calculating the Financial Performance Covenants is required to be delivered Section 9.1(c), for the three years that follow such date of delivery, 50% of the reasonably anticipated Hydrocarbon production in respect
      of crude oil and natural gas, calculated separately, from the Credit Parties’ total Proved Developed Producing Reserves (as forecast based upon the most recent Reserve Report delivered pursuant to Section 9.14), calculated based on daily
      volumes on an annual basis.

     

    9.19       Unrestricted Subsidiaries.  The Borrower:

     

    (a)         will cause the management, business and affairs of each of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries to be conducted in such a manner (including, without limitation, by keeping
      separate books of account, furnishing separate financial statements of Unrestricted Subsidiaries to creditors and potential creditors thereof and by not permitting Properties of the Borrower and its respective Restricted Subsidiaries to be
      commingled) so that each Unrestricted Subsidiary that is a corporation will be treated as a corporate entity separate and distinct from the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries.

     

    (b)          will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, incur, assume, guarantee or be or become liable for any Indebtedness of any of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries other
      than as permitted by Section 10.5.

     

    (c)          will not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to hold any Equity Interest in, or any Indebtedness of, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary.

     

    
      118

      
        

    

    9.20       Marketing Activities.  The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in marketing activities for any Hydrocarbons or enter into any
      contracts related thereto other than (i) contracts for the sale of Hydrocarbons scheduled or reasonably estimated to be produced from their Proved Reserves during the period of such contract, (ii) contracts for the sale of Hydrocarbons scheduled or
      reasonably estimated to be produced from Proved Reserves of third parties during the period of such contract associated with the Oil and Gas Properties of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries that the Borrower or one of its Restricted
      Subsidiaries has the right to market pursuant to joint operating agreements, unitization agreements or other similar contracts that are usual and customary in the Oil and Gas Business and (iii) other contracts for the purchase and/or sale of
      Hydrocarbons of third parties (A) which have generally offsetting provisions (i.e., corresponding pricing mechanics, delivery dates and points and volumes) such that no “position” is taken and (B) for which
      appropriate credit support has been taken to alleviate the material credit risks of the counterparty thereto.

     

    9.21       Keepwell.  The Borrower will, and will cause each Guarantor to, provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by the Borrower or any Guarantor, as
      applicable, to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement and any other Credit Document in respect of Swap Obligations  (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 9.21
      for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 9.21, or otherwise under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, as it relates to the Borrower, any Restricted
      Subsidiary or any Guarantor, as applicable, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).  The obligations of each Credit Party under this Section 9.21 shall remain in
      full force and effect until Payment in Full.  The Borrower intends that this Section 9.21 constitute, and this Section 9.21 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit the Borrower and any
      Guarantor, as applicable, for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

     

    SECTION 10.      NEGATIVE COVENANTS.

      a Credit Party to a Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law and not giving rise to material adverse tax consequences shall be subordinated to the Obligations pursuant to the Intercompany Note, (ii) any
      Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor owing to any other Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor and (iii) to the extent permitted by Section 10.5, any Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor owing to the Borrower or any Guarantor;

     

    (e)        Indebtedness in respect of any bankers’ acceptances, bank guarantees, letters of credit, warehouse receipts or similar instruments entered into in the ordinary course of business or

      to reimbursement-type obligations regarding workers compensation claims); provided that any reimbursement obligations in respect thereof are reimbursed within thirty (30) days following the incurrence
      thereof;

     

    
      119

      
        

    

    (f)         subject to compliance with Section 10.5, Guarantee Obligations incurred by (i) Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of Indebtedness or other obligations of the Borrower or
      other Restricted Subsidiaries that is permitted to be incurred under this Agreement (except that a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Credit Party may not, by virtue of this Section 10.1(f), guarantee Indebtedness that such Restricted
      Subsidiary could not otherwise itself incur under this Section 10.1) and (ii) the Borrower in respect of Indebtedness of Restricted Subsidiaries that is permitted to be incurred under this Agreement; provided
      that (A) if the Indebtedness being guaranteed under this Section 10.1(f) is subordinated to the Obligations, such Guarantee Obligations shall be subordinated to the Guarantee of the Obligations pursuant to a Subordination Agreement on terms
      at least as favorable to the Lenders as those contained in the subordination of such Indebtedness and (B) no guarantee by any Restricted Subsidiary of any Indebtedness under clause (i) of this Section 10.1 or other Junior Debt shall
      be permitted unless such Restricted Subsidiary shall have also provided a guarantee of the Obligations substantially on the terms set forth in the Guarantee;

     

    (g)          Guarantee Obligations (i) incurred in the ordinary course of business in respect of obligations of (or to) suppliers, customers, franchisees, lessors, licensees or sublicensees or (ii)

      expansion or improvement of assets (real or personal, and whether through the direct purchase of property or the Equity Interests of a Person owning such property) to finance the acquisition, construction, lease, repair, replacement, expansion, or
      improvement of such assets (for the avoidance of doubt, the purchase date for any asset shall be the later of the date of completion of installation and the beginning of the full productive use of such asset); (ii) Indebtedness arising under
      Capitalized Leases, other than (A) Capitalized Leases in effect on the Closing Date and (B) Capitalized Leases entered into pursuant to subclause (i) above; and (iii) any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness issued or incurred to Refinance any
      such Indebtedness; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness permitted by subclauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 10.1(h) shall not exceed the
      greater of $20,000,000 and 3.5% of the Borrowing Base at the time of incurrence;

     

    (i)           Indebtedness outstanding on the date hereof and set forth on Schedule 10.1 and any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness issued or incurred to Refinance such Indebtedness;

      in connection with any Permitted Acquisition or similar Investment permitted under Section 10.5 in an aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness outstanding at any time pursuant to this clause (x) not to exceed the greater of $20,000,000 and
      3.5% of the Borrowing Base or (y) assumed in connection with any Permitted Acquisition or similar Investment permitted under Section 10.5 so long as, in the case of Indebtedness assumed pursuant to clause (y) hereof, such Indebtedness is not

      that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary may prepay, repurchase, redeem or defease prior to its scheduled maturity any Junior Debt (i) in exchange for or with the proceeds of any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, (ii) by converting or
      exchanging any Junior Debt to Qualified Equity Interests, (iii) from and after the date that is twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date, so long as, immediately after giving effect thereto on a Pro Forma Basis, the Restricted Payment
      Conditions are satisfied (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that no prepayment, repurchase, redeemption or defeaseance prior to its scheduled maturity of any Junior Debt will be permitted to made on reliance of this clause (iii) until
      a date that is on or after twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date), (iv) in exchange for or with proceeds of any Qualified Equity Interests within ninety (90) days of receipt of such proceeds or (v) owed to the Borrower or any Restricted
      Subsidiary to the extent not prohibited by the subordination provisions contained in the Intercompany Note; provided, further, that, after giving effect to any
      adjustment of the Borrowing Base made pursuant to Section 2.14(f) and any repayment of the Loans required in connection therewith, so long as no Event of Default then exists, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary may make
      mandatory prepayments in respect of any Junior Debt with the proceeds of the disposition of any assets that have been pledged to secure such Junior Debt;

     

    
      135

      
        

    

    (b)          The Borrower will not amend or modify the terms of any Junior Debt, other than amendments or modifications that (i) would otherwise comply with the definition of “Permitted Refinancing
      Indebtedness” that may be incurred to Refinance any such Indebtedness, (ii) would have the effect of converting any Junior Debt to Qualified Equity Interests or (iii) to the extent such amendment or modification would not have been prohibited under
      this Agreement at the time such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, Junior Debt or documentation was first issued, incurred or entered into, as applicable (it being understood that in no event shall such amendment or modification make earlier the
      final maturity date of such Indebtedness or reduce the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Indebtedness and, with respect to any Permitted Additional Debt or Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness thereof, such analysis shall assume that the
      Agreement in effect at the time of such amendment or modification constituted the Agreement at the time when such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness or Junior Debt was first issued, incurred or entered into, as applicable); and

     

    (c)        Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 10.7 shall prohibit (i) the repayment or prepayment of intercompany subordinated
      Indebtedness owed among the Borrower and/or the Restricted Subsidiaries, in either case, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Borrower has received a notice from the Collateral Agent instructing it not to make or permit
      the Borrower and/or the Restricted Subsidiaries to make any such repayment or prepayment, or (ii) substantially concurrent transfers of credit positions in connection with intercompany debt restructurings so long as such Indebtedness is permitted by
      Section 10.1 after giving effect to such transfer.

     

    10.8      Negative Pledge Agreements.  The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into or permit to exist any Contractual Requirement (other than
      this Agreement or any other Credit Document)  that limits the ability of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist Liens on property of such Person for the benefit of the Secured Parties with respect to the
      Obligations or under the Credit Documents; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to each of the following Contractual Requirements that:

     

    (a)          (i) exist on the Closing Date and (to the extent not otherwise permitted by this Section 10.8) are listed on Schedule 10.8 and (ii) to the extent Contractual
      Requirements permitted by subclause (i) are set forth in an agreement evidencing Indebtedness or other obligations, are set forth in any agreement evidencing any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to Refinance such Indebtedness or
      obligation so long as such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness does not expand the scope of such Contractual Requirement;

     

    (b)         are binding on a Restricted Subsidiary at the time such Restricted Subsidiary first becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower, so long as such Contractual Requirements were not
      entered into solely in contemplation of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower;

     

    (c)          represent Indebtedness permitted under Section 10.1 of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower that is not a Guarantor so long as such Contractual Requirement applies
      only to such Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries;

     

    (d)          arise pursuant to agreements entered into with respect to any sale, transfer, lease or other Disposition permitted by Section 10.4 and applicable solely to assets under
      such sale, transfer, lease or other Disposition;

     

    
      136

      
        

    

    (e)         are customary provisions in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements permitted by Section 10.5 and applicable to joint ventures or otherwise arise in

      into in the ordinary course of the oil and gas exploration and development business and customary provisions in any Agreement of the type described in the definition of “Industry Investments” entered into in the ordinary course of business;

     

    (f)           are customary restrictions on leases, subleases, licenses or asset sale agreements otherwise permitted hereby so long as such restrictions relate to the assets subject thereto;

     

    (g)          are customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of any lease governing a leasehold interest of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary;

    (i)           restrict the use of cash or other deposits imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

     

    (j)           [reserved];

     

    (k)        exist under any documentation governing any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to Refinance any Indebtedness but only to the extent such Contractual Requirement is not materially
      more restrictive, taken as a whole, than the Contractual Requirement in the Indebtedness being refinanced;

     

    (l)          are customary net worth provisions contained in real property leases entered into by any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower, so long as the Borrower has determined in good faith that
      such net worth provisions would not reasonably be expected to impair the ability of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries to meet their ongoing obligation;

     

    (m)        are included in any agreement relating to any Lien, so long as (i) such Lien is permitted under Section 10.2(b), (c) or (f) and such restrictions or
      conditions relate only to the specific asset subject to such Lien and (ii) such restrictions and conditions are not created for the purpose of avoiding the restrictions imposed by this Section 10.8;

     

    (n)          are restrictions imposed by any agreement relating to Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 10.1 or Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof, to the
      extent such restrictions are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than the restrictions contained in the Credit Documents as determined by the Borrower in good faith;

     

    (o)         are restrictions regarding licenses or sublicenses by the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries of intellectual property in the ordinary course of business (in which case such
      restriction shall relate only to such intellectual property);

      137

      
        

    

    (r)          are encumbrances or restrictions imposed by any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of the contracts,
      instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (a) through (q) above; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings,
      replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Borrower’s board of directors, no more restrictive in any material respect with respect to such encumbrance and other restrictions taken as a whole than those prior to such
      amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing.

     

    10.9         Limitation on Subsidiary Distributions.  The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors to, directly or indirectly, create
      or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any such Restricted Subsidiary to pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Borrower or any Restricted
      Subsidiary on its Equity Interests or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits or transfer any property to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary except (in each case) for such encumbrances or

      acquired;

     

    (d)          [reserved];

     

    (e)          any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by or merged or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, or of an Unrestricted Subsidiary that is
      designated a Restricted Subsidiary, or that is assumed in connection with the acquisition of assets from such Person, in each case that is in existence at the time of such transaction (but not created in contemplation thereof), which encumbrance or
      restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person and its Subsidiaries, or the property or assets of the Person and its Subsidiaries, so acquired or designated;

     

    (f)           [reserved];

     

    (g)          secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 10.1(p) or (y) as it relates to the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such

      and (y) so long as the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in such Indebtedness are no less favorable to the Borrower, taken as a whole, as determined by the board of directors of the Borrower in good faith, than

      instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (a) through (l) above; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings,
      replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Borrower’s board of directors, no more restrictive in any material respect with respect to such encumbrance and other restrictions taken as a whole than those prior to such
      amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing.

     

    10.10      Hedge Agreements.  The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Hedge Agreements with any Person other than:

     

    (a)          Hedge Agreements with Approved Counterparties in respect of Hydrocarbons entered into not for speculative purposes the net notional volumes for which (when aggregated with other
      commodity Hedge Agreements then in effect, other than puts, floors and basis differential swaps on volumes already hedged pursuant to other Hedge Agreements) do not exceed, as of the date the latest hedging transaction is entered into under a Hedge
      Agreement, the greater of (x) 80% of the reasonably anticipated Hydrocarbon production of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, calculated separately, from the Credit Parties’ total Proved Reserves (as forecast based upon the Initial
      Reserve Report or the most recent Reserve Report delivered pursuant to Section 9.14(a), as applicable) and (y) 95% of the reasonably anticipated Hydrocarbon production of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, calculated
      separately, from the Credit Parties’ total Proved Developed Producing Reserves (as forecast based upon the Initial Reserve Report or the most recent Reserve Report delivered pursuant to Section 9.14(a), as applicable), in each case for the
      sixty-six (66) month period from the date of creation of such hedging arrangement, based on daily volumes on an annual basis (the “Ongoing Hedges”).  In no event shall any Hedge Agreement entered into by the Credit Parties have a tenor longer
      than sixty-six (66) months.  In addition to the Ongoing Hedges, in connection with a proposed or pending acquisition of Oil and Gas Properties (a “Proposed Acquisition”), the Credit Parties may also enter into incremental hedging contracts
      with respect to the Credit Parties’ reasonably anticipated projected production from the total Proved Reserves of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as forecast based upon the most recent Reserve Report having notional volumes not in excess
      of 15% of the Credit Parties’ existing projected production prior to the consummation of such Proposed Acquisition (such that the aggregate shall not be more than 100% of the reasonably anticipated projected production prior to the consummation of
      such Proposed Acquisition) for a period not exceeding thirty-six (36) months from the date such hedging arrangement is created during the period between (i) the date on which such Credit Party signs a definitive acquisition agreement in connection
      with a Proposed Acquisition and (ii) the earliest of (A) the date of consummation of such Proposed Acquisition, (B) the date of termination of such Proposed Acquisition and (C) ninety (90) days after the date of execution of such definitive
      acquisition agreement (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion).  However, all such incremental hedging contracts entered into with respect to a Proposed Acquisition must be terminated or unwound
      within ninety (90) days following the date of termination of such Proposed Acquisition.  It is understood that commodity Hedge Agreements which may, from time to time, “hedge” the same volumes of commodity risk but different elements of commodity
      risk thereof, including where one or more such Hedge Agreements partially offset one or more other such Hedge Agreements, shall not be aggregated together when calculating the foregoing limitations on notional volumes.

     

    
      139

      
        

    

    (b)          Other Hedge Agreements (other than any Hedge Agreements in respect of Hydrocarbons or equity or equity index swaps or options, bond or bond price or bond index swaps or options or
      forward bond or forward bond price or forward bond index transactions) entered into not for speculative purposes.

     

    (c)        It is understood that for purposes of this Section 10.10, the following Hedge Agreements shall be deemed not to be speculative or entered into for speculative purposes: 
      (i) any commodity Hedge Agreement intended, at inception of execution, to hedge or manage any of the risks related to existing and or forecasted Hydrocarbon production of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries (whether or not contracted) and
      (ii) any Hedge Agreement intended, at inception of execution, (A) to hedge or manage the interest rate exposure associated with any debt securities, debt facilities or leases (existing or forecasted) of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries,
      (B) [reserved], (C) to manage commodity portfolio exposure associated with changes in interest rates or (D) to hedge any exposure that the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries may have to counterparties under other Hedge Agreements such that the
      combination of such Hedge Agreements is not speculative taken as a whole.

     

    (d)        For purposes of entering into or maintaining Ongoing Hedges under Section 10.10(a), forecasts of reasonably projected Hydrocarbon production volumes and reasonably
      anticipated Hydrocarbon production from the Credit Parties’ total Proved Reserves or total Proved Developed Producing Reserves based upon the Initial Reserve Report or the most recent Reserve Report delivered pursuant to Section 9.14(a),
      as applicable, shall be revised to account for any increase or decrease therein anticipated because of information obtained by Borrower or any other Credit Party subsequent to the publication of such Reserve Report including the Borrower’s or any
      other Credit Party’s internal forecasts of production decline rates for existing wells and additions to or deletions from anticipated future production from new wells and acquisitions coming on stream or failing to come on stream.

     

    10.11      Financial Covenants.

     

    (a)          Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio.  The Borrower will not permit the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the Test Period ending on March 31, 2020 and
      as of the last day of any Test Period ending thereafter to be greater than 3.50 to 1.00.

     

    (b)          Current Ratio.  The Borrower will not permit the Current Ratio as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ending on or after March 31, 2020 to be less than 1.00 to 1.00.

     

    10.12      Accounting Changes; Amendments to Organization Documents.  The Borrower shall not and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to (a) have its fiscal year end on a date
      other than December 31 or have its fiscal quarters end on dates other than March 31, June 30 or September 30 or (b) amend, supplement or otherwise modify (or permit to be amended, supplemented or modified) its Organization Document in a manner that
      is material and adverse to the interests of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders without the consent of the Majority Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

     

    10.13      Change in Business; Foreign Operations.

     

    (a)          The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will not fundamentally and substantively alter the character of their business, taken as a whole, from (i) the business
      conducted by them on the Closing Date or (ii) any other business reasonably related, complementary, incidental, synergistic or ancillary thereto or reasonable extensions thereof.

     

    
      140

      
        

    

    (b)          From and after the date hereof, the Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, acquire or make any other expenditures (whether such expenditure is capital,
      operating or otherwise) in or related to any Oil and Gas Properties not located within the geographical boundaries, and the territorial waters, of the United States or form or acquire any Foreign Subsidiary.

     

    10.14      Transactions with Affiliates.  The Borrower shall not conduct, and cause each of the Restricted Subsidiaries not to conduct, any transactions involving aggregate payments or
      consideration in excess of $5,000,000 with any of its Affiliates (other than the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries or any entity that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction) unless such transactions are on terms that
      are substantially no less favorable to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary as it would obtain at the time in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate, as determined by the board of directors or managers of
      the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary in good faith; provided that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to:

     

    (a)          the consummation of the Transactions, including the payment of Transaction Expenses;

     

    (b)          the issuance of Equity Interests of the Borrower to any officer, director, employee or consultant of any of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the Sponsor or any of its
      Subsidiaries;

     

    (c)          equity issuances, repurchases, retirements, redemptions or other acquisitions or retirements of Equity Interests by the Borrower permitted under Section 10.6;

     

    (d)          loans, advances and other transactions between or among the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any joint venture (regardless of the form of legal entity) in which the Borrower or any Subsidiary
      has invested (and which Subsidiary or joint venture would not be an Affiliate of the Borrower or such Subsidiary, but for the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s ownership of Equity Interests in such joint venture or such Subsidiary) to the extent
      permitted under Section 10;

     

    (e)         employment and severance arrangements and health, disability and similar insurance or benefit plans between the Borrower and the Subsidiaries and their respective future, current or
      former directors, officers, employees or consultants (including management and employee benefit plans or agreements, subscription agreements or similar agreements pertaining to the repurchase of Equity Interests pursuant to put/call rights or similar
      rights with future, current or former employees, officers, directors or consultants and equity option or incentive plans and other compensation arrangements) in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise approved by the board of directors or
      managers of the Borrower;

     

    (f)          transactions pursuant to agreements in existence on the Closing Date and set forth on Schedule 10.14 or any amendment thereto or arrangement similar thereto to the extent such
      amendment or arrangement is not adverse, taken as a whole, to the Lenders in any material respect (as determined by the Borrower in good faith);

     

    (g)          [reserved];

     

    (h)        any issuance of Equity Interests or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities, Equity Interests or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment arrangements, equity
      options and equity ownership plans approved by the board of directors or board of managers of the Borrower;

     

    (i)           [reserved];

     

    
      141

      
        

    

    (j)           any transaction in respect of which the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent a letter addressed to the board of directors or managers of the Borrower from an accounting,
      appraisal or investment banking firm, in each case of nationally-recognized standing that is in the good faith determination of the Borrower qualified to render such letter, which letter states that such transaction is (i) fair, from a financial
      point of view, to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) on terms, taken as a whole, that are no less favorable to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction
      with a person that is not an Affiliate;

     

    (k)       the payment of customary fees and reasonable out-of-pocket costs to, and indemnities provided on behalf of, future, current or former directors, officers, employees and consultants of the
      Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

     

    (l)         transactions between the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any Person that is an Affiliate solely because a director of such Person is also a director of the Borrower; provided, however, that such director abstains from voting as a director of the Borrower, as the case may be, on any matter involving such other Person;

     

    (m)         payments or loans (or cancellation of loans) to officers, directors, employees or consultants which are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Borrower in good faith;

     

    (n)         any lease entered into between the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, as lessee and any Affiliate of the Borrower, as lessor, which is approved by a majority of the disinterested

    (r)          transactions with customers, clients, joint venture partners, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in
      compliance with the terms of this Agreement that are fair to the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors or the senior management of the Borrower, or are on terms at least as favorable as
      might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party.

    First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel
      payable under Section 12.7 and amounts payable under Article II) payable to the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent in such Person’s capacity as such;

      the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (including fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel payable under Section 12.7) arising under the Credit Documents and amounts payable under Article II, ratably among them in
      proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

     

    Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit Fees and interest on the Loans and Unpaid Drawings, ratably among the

      Letters of Credit Outstanding, (y) subject to Section 3.7, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to this clause Fourth shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such
      Letters of Credit as they occur and (z) upon the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the pro rata share of Cash Collateral attributable to such expired Letter of Credit shall be distributed in accordance with this clause Fourth;

     

    Fifth, to the payment of all other Obligations of the Credit Parties owing under or in respect of the Credit Documents that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent
      and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date; and

     

    Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been paid, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Requirements of Law.

     

    Subject to Section 3.7, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fourth above shall be
      applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur.  If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other

      146

      
        

    

    11.13      Equity Cure.

     

    (a)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11 or in any Credit Document, in the event that the Borrower fails to comply with the Leverage Ratio Covenant and/or the Current Ratio Covenant, then (A) until the
    expiration of the tenth Business Day subsequent to the date the compliance certificate for calculating the applicable Financial Performance Covenant is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 9.1(c) (the “Cure Deadline”),
    the Borrower shall have the right to cure such failure (the “Cure Right”) by receiving cash proceeds (which cash proceeds shall be received no earlier than the first day of the applicable fiscal quarter for which there is a failure to comply
    with the applicable Financial Performance Covenant) from an issuance of Qualified Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) for cash as a cash capital contribution (or from any other contribution of cash to capital or issuance or sale of any
    other Equity Interests on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), and upon receipt by the Borrower of such cash proceeds (such cash amount being referred to as the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise of such Cure Right, the
    Leverage Ratio Covenant and/or the Current Ratio Covenant (as applicable) shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments:
     

    (i)          (A) Consolidated EBITDAX shall be increased, solely for the purpose of determining the existence of an Event of Default resulting from a breach of the Leverage Ratio
      Covenant with respect to any Test Period that includes the fiscal quarter for which the Cure Right was exercised and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount and/or (B) Consolidated Current Assets shall be
      increased, solely for the purpose of determining the existence of an Event of Default resulting from a breach of the Current Ratio Covenant with respect to any Test Period that includes the fiscal quarter for which the Cure Right was exercised and
      not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount;

     

    (ii)         neither Consolidated Total Debt nor Consolidated Current Liabilities for such Test Period shall be decreased by any prepayments of Indebtedness with the proceeds of
      the Cure Amount and any cash proceeds shall not be “netted” for purposes of ratio calculations with respect to any four fiscal quarter period in which the fiscal quarter period in which such equity cure has been made is included; and

     

    (iii)       if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenants, the
      Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenants as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable
      breach or default of the applicable Financial Performance Covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement; provided that (A) in each period of four (4) consecutive fiscal
      quarters there shall be at least two (2) fiscal quarters in which no Cure Right is exercised, (B) Cure Rights shall not be exercised more than five times during the term of this Agreement, (C) if the Borrower cures the failure to comply with both
      Financial Performance Covenants in the same fiscal quarter, such cures shall constitute a single cure for purposes of the preceding subclause (B), (D) if the Borrower cures the failure to comply with both Financial Performance Covenants in the same
      fiscal quarter, the same dollar of the Cure Amount shall be applied only once to either increase Consolidated EBITDAX or Consolidated Current Assets but not both, (E) each Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the Borrower
      to be in compliance with the applicable Financial Performance Covenant above (such amount, the “Necessary Cure Amount”); provided that if the Cure Right is exercised prior to the date financial
      statements are required to be delivered for such fiscal quarter, then the Cure Amount shall be equal to the amount reasonably determined by the Borrower in good faith that is required for purposes of complying with the Financial Performance Covenants
      for such fiscal quarter (such amount, the “Expected Cure Amount”), (F) in respect of the fiscal quarter in which such Cure Right was exercised and for each Test Period that includes such fiscal quarter, all Cure Amounts shall be disregarded
      for the purposes of any financial ratio determination under the Credit Documents other than for determining compliance with the Financial Performance Covenants and (G) no Lender or Issuing Bank shall be required to make any extension of credit
      hereunder during the ten (10) Business Day period referred to above, unless the Borrower shall have received the Cure Amount; and

     

    
      147

      
        

    

    
      (iv)        upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of written notice, on or prior to the Cure Deadline, that the Borrower intends to exercise the Cure Right in respect of a
        fiscal quarter, the Lenders shall not be permitted to accelerate Loans held by them or to exercise remedies against the Collateral on the basis of a failure to comply with the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenants, unless such failure
        is not cured pursuant to the exercise of the Cure Right on or prior to the Cure Deadline.

       

      (b)          Expected Cure Amount.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that the Expected Cure Amount is less than the Necessary Cure Amount, then not later than
        the applicable Cure Deadline, the Borrower must receive cash proceeds from issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) or a cash capital contribution, which cash proceeds received by Borrower shall be equal to the shortfall between
        such Expected Cure Amount and such Necessary Cure Amount.

       

      SECTION 12.      THE AGENTS

       

      12.1       Appointment.

       

      (a)         Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and irrevocably
        authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the
        Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Section 12 (other than Section 12.1(c)
        with respect to the Lead Arranger and Bookrunner, and Sections 12.9, 12.11, 12.12 and the last sentence of Section 12.4 with respect to the Borrower) are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders,
        and the Borrower shall not have rights as third party beneficiary of any such provision.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except
        those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Credit Document or otherwise
        exist against the Administrative Agent.

       

      (b)         The Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Collateral Agent as the agent with respect to the Collateral, and each of the
        Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to exercise such
        powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Notwithstanding any provision to
        the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing
        Banks, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Credit Document or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent.

       

      
        148

        
          

      

      (c)          The Lead Arranger and Bookrunner, in its capacity as such, shall not have any obligations, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement but shall be entitled to all benefits of this
        Section 12.

       

      12.2       Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may each execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents by or through
        agents, sub-agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact (each, a “Subagent”) and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties; provided, however, that no such
        Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Administrative Agent.  If any Subagent, or successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of
        acting, resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Subagent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Subagent.  Neither the
        Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any Subagents selected by it.

       

      12.3       Exculpatory Provisions.  No Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or
        omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent
        jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders or any participant for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any of the Borrower, any other
        Credit Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by such Agent under or in connection with, this
        Agreement or any other Credit Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or
        purported to be created under the Security Documents or for any failure of the Borrower or any other Credit Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  No Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire
        as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof.  The Collateral
        Agent shall not be under any obligation to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other
        Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party.

       

      12.4       Reliance by Agents.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice,
        consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, email, statement, order or other document or instruction believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons
        and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.  The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lender
        specified in the Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.  The
        Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders as
        it deems appropriate and/or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  Notwithstanding any
        provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents in accordance with a
        request of the Majority Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans; provided that the
        Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action or refuse to take any action where, in its opinion or in the opinion of its counsel, the taking or refusal to take such action may expose it to liability or that is
        contrary to any Credit Document or applicable Requirements of Law.  For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 6 and Section 7 on the Closing Date, each Lender that has signed this
        Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative
        Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

       

      
        149

        
          

      

      12.5       Notice of Default.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default
        hereunder unless the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, has received notice written from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a
        “notice of default”.  In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Collateral Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of
        Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Lenders; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be
        obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement requires that such action
        be taken only with the approval or consent of the Majority Lenders, the Required Lenders, each individual lender or adversely affected Lender, as applicable.

       

      12.6      Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor
        any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereinafter taken, including any review
        of the affairs of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to any Lender or any Issuing Bank.  Each Lender and each Issuing Bank represents
        to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made
        its own appraisal of, and an investigation into, the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and each other Credit Party and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into
        this Agreement.  Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
        continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
        operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and any other Credit Party.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent
        hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, assets, operations, properties, financial condition,
        prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any other Credit Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or
        Affiliates.

       

      
        150

        
          

      

      12.7       Indemnification.  The Lenders severally agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, each in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the
        Credit Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), ratably according to their respective portions of the Commitments or Loans, as applicable, outstanding in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (or,
        if indemnification is sought after Payment in Full, ratably in accordance with their respective portions of the Total Exposure in effect immediately prior to such date on which Payment in Full occurred), from and against any and all Indemnified
        Liabilities; provided that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
        judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent
        jurisdiction; provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders
        as shall be required by the Credit Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 12.7.  In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise
        to any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time occur (including at any time following the payment of the Loans), this Section
        12.7 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent upon
        demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through
        negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice rendered in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such
        Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect
        thereto.  If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against
        until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment,
        suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s pro rata portion thereof; and provided further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any
        liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent
        jurisdiction.  The agreements in this Section 12.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

       

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

       

      
        151

        
          

      

      12.9       Successor Agents.  Each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower.  If
        the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent becomes a Defaulting Lender, then such Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, may be removed as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, at the reasonable request of the
        Borrower upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Lenders.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or removal, as the case may be, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld
        or delayed) so long as no Default under Section 11.1 or 11.5 is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York.  If, in the case of a resignation of a retiring Agent, no such successor
        shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing
        Banks, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above (provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such
        appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the
        case of any collateral security held by such Agent on behalf of the Lenders or Issuing Banks under and Credit Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (b)
        all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the retiring Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and Issuing Bank directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Agent as
        provided for above in this Section 12.9).  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder, and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing
        statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Majority Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Security
        Documents, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or
        under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 12.9).  After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Section 12
        (including Section 12.7) and Section 13.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its Subagents and their respective Agent-Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
        taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as an Agent.

       

      Any resignation of any Person as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.9 shall also constitute its resignation as Issuing Bank.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment
        as Administrative Agent hereunder (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank, (b) the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from all of its duties and
        obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, and (c) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements
        satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

       

      12.10     Withholding Tax.  To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any
        applicable withholding tax.  If the IRS or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason
        (including because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax
        ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by any applicable Credit Party and without limiting the obligation of any applicable Credit Party to do
        so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including penalties, additions to Tax and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and
        any out of pocket expenses.  In addition, each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for (i) any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any applicable Credit Party has not
        already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of any applicable Credit Party to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions
        relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit 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.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the
        Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document
        against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 12.10.  For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 12.10, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank. The agreements in this Section

        12.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

       

      
        152

        
          

      

      12.11     Security Documents and Collateral Agent under Security Documents and Guarantee.  Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as
        applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents.  Subject to Section 13.1, without further
        written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may take such action and execute and deliver any such instruments, documents and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and
        confirm the release of any Guarantor or Collateral pursuant to Section 13.17.  The Lenders and the Issuing Banks (including in their capacities as potential Cash Management Banks and potential Hedge Banks) irrevocably agree that (x)
        the Collateral Agent is authorized and the Collateral Agent agrees it shall (for the benefit of Borrower), without any further consent of any Lender, enter into or amend any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement with the collateral agent or other
        representatives of the holders of Indebtedness that is permitted to be secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is permitted under this Agreement, in each case for the purpose of adding the holders of such Indebtedness (or their representative) as
        a party thereto and otherwise causing such Indebtedness to be subject thereto (it being understood that any such amendment, amendment and restatement or supplement may make such other changes to the applicable intercreditor agreement as, in the
        good faith determination of the Administrative Agent, are required to effectuate the foregoing and with any material modifications to be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), (y) the Collateral Agent may rely exclusively on a
        certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower as to whether any such other Liens are permitted and (z) any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement referred to in clause (x) above, entered into by the Collateral Agent, shall be binding on
        the Secured Parties.  Furthermore, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (including in their capacities as potential Cash Management Bank and potential Hedge Banks) hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to subordinate any
        Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under any Credit Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by clause (j) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” and clauses

        (c), (j), (o), (p), (s), (v) and (y) of Section 10.2; provided that prior to any such request, the Borrower shall have in each case
        delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower certifying that such subordination is permitted under this Agreement.

       

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

       

      
        153

        
          

      

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

       

      (a)          to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid hereunder or under any other Credit Document 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 Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
        Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel, to the extent due under Section 13.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

       

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

       

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

       

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

       

      12.14     Certain ERISA Matters.

       

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

       

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

       

      
        154

        
          

      

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

       

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

       

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

       

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

       

      
        155

        
          

      

      12.15     Credit Bidding.  The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the
        Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more
        acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other
        jurisdictions to which a Credit Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or
        otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law.  In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Majority
        Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to
        the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in
        connection with such purchase).  In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of
        the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the
        Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including
        any Disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Majority Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of
        this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Majority Lenders
        contained in Section 13.1 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which
        were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured
        Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason, such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the
        Secured Parties pro rata and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take
        any further action.  Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in Section 12.15(ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such
        documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request
        in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

      SECTION 13.      MISCELLANEOUS.

       

      13.1       Amendments, Waivers and Releases.

       

      (a)         Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, supplemented or modified except
        in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.1.  The Majority Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the Majority Lenders, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall, from time to time, (a) enter into
        with the relevant Credit Party or Credit Parties written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Credit Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or changing in any
        manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Credit Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive in writing, on such terms and conditions as the Majority Lenders or the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may specify in
        such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however,
        that each such waiver and each such amendment, supplement or modification shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, further, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) forgive or reduce any portion of any Loan or reduce the stated rate (it being understood that only the consent of the Majority Lenders shall
        be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate or amend Section 2.8(c)), or forgive or reduce any portion, or extend the date for the payment (including the Maturity Date), of any principal,
        interest or fee payable hereunder (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates and any change due to a change in the Borrowing Base or Available Commitment), or extend the final expiration date
        of any Lender’s Commitment (provided that (1) any Lender, upon the request of the Borrower, may extend the final expiration date of its Commitment in a manner that has no adverse impact on any other Lender
        without the consent of any other Lender, including the Majority Lenders, and (2) it is being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default shall not constitute an increase of the
        Commitments of any Lender) or extend the final expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the L/C Maturity Date, or increase the amount of the Commitment of any Lender (provided that, any Lender, upon
        the request of the Borrower, may increase the amount of its Commitment without the consent of any other Lender, including the Majority Lenders), or make any Loan, interest, fee or other amount payable in any currency other than Dollars, in each
        case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 13.1 in a manner that would reduce the voting rights of any Lender, or reduce the
        percentages specified in the definitions of the terms “Majority Lenders” or “Required Lenders”, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of its rights and obligations under any Credit Document to which it is a party (except as
        permitted pursuant to Section 10.3), in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (iii) amend the provisions of Section 11.12 or any analogous provision of any
        Security Document, in a manner that would by its terms alter the order of payment specified therein or the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or
        (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 12 without the written consent of the then-current Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, as applicable, or any other former or current Agent to whom Section 12
        then applies in a manner that directly and adversely affects such Person, or (v) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 with respect to any Letter of Credit without the written consent of each Issuing Bank to whom Section 3
        then applies in a manner that directly and adversely affects such Person, or (vi) [reserved], or (vii) release all or substantially all of the aggregate value of the Guarantees without the prior written consent of each Lender, or (viii) release all
        or substantially all of the Collateral under the Security Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender, or (ix) amend Section 2.9 so as to permit Interest Period intervals greater than six (6) months without regard to
        availability to Lenders, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (x) increase the Borrowing Base or waive a condition in or modify in any manner adverse to a Lender in Section 6.2 without the
        written consent of each Lender (subject to Section 13.1(b) in the case of a Defaulting Lender) or decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base without the written consent of the Required Lenders or otherwise modify Section 2.14(b),
        (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) or (j) if such modification would have the effect of increasing the Borrowing Base without the written consent of each Lender (other than Defaulting Lenders); provided
        that a Scheduled Redetermination may be postponed by, and an automatic reduction in the Borrowing Base may be waived by, the Required Lenders, or (xi) affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, any Agent under this
        Agreement or any other Credit Document without the prior written consent of such Agent.  Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the affected Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrower,
        such Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the affected Loans.  In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the
        other Credit Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; it being understood that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right
        consequent thereon.  In connection with the foregoing provisions, the Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligations to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender
        whose consent is required hereunder.

       

      (b)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver
        or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender may not be
        increased or extended without the consent of such Defaulting Lender and no such amendment, waiver or consent shall disproportionately adversely affect such Defaulting Lender without its consent as compared to other Lenders (it being understood that
        any Commitments or Loans held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded for a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any consent of the Lenders).

       

      
        157

        
          

      

      (c)          Without the consent of any Lender or Issuing Bank, the Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any
        Credit Document) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Credit Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any
        Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the
        security interests therein comply with applicable law or this Agreement or in each case to otherwise enhance the rights or benefits of any Lender under any Credit Document.

       

      (d)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Lender consent is required to effect any amendment, modification or supplement to any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any
        subordination agreement or other intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement or in any document pertaining to any Indebtedness permitted hereby that is permitted to be secured by the Collateral (i) that is for the purpose
        of adding the holders of such secured or subordinated Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under this Agreement (or, in each case, a representative with respect thereto), as parties thereto, as expressly contemplated by the terms of such Junior
        Lien Intercreditor Agreement, such subordination agreement or such other intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Agreement, as applicable (it being understood that any such amendment or supplement may make such other changes to
        the applicable intercreditor agreement as, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent, are required to effectuate the foregoing and provided that such other changes are not adverse, in any
        material respect (taken as a whole), to the interests of the Lenders) or (ii) that is expressly contemplated by any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any subordination agreement or other intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under
        this Agreement or in any document pertaining to any Indebtedness permitted hereby that is permitted to be secured by the Collateral or (iii) otherwise, with respect to any material amendments, modifications or supplements, to the extent such
        amendment, modification or supplement is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or
        otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable.

       

      (e)          The Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any Lender, enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or to enter into additional Credit Documents
        as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to implement any Benchmark Replacement or any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or otherwise effectuate the terms of Section 2.10(d) in accordance with the terms of Section

          2.10(d).

       

      (f)         In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 2.14 hereof, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the
        Borrower and the Lenders providing the Replacement Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Loans of any Class (“Replaced Loans”) with replacement loans (“Replacement Loans”) hereunder; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Replaced Loans, plus accrued interest, fees, premiums (if any) and
        penalties thereon and reasonable fees, expenses, original issue discount and upfront fees associated with such Replacement Loans, (ii) the All-In Yield with respect to such Replacement Loans shall not be higher than the All-In Yield for such
        Replaced Loans immediately prior to such refinancing unless the maturity of the Replacement Loans is at least one year later than the maturity of the Replaced Loans and (iii) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Loans shall be
        substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Loans than, those applicable to such Replaced Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the
        Latest Maturity Date of the Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.  Each amendment to this Agreement providing for Replacement Loans may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the
        other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to effect the provisions of this paragraph, and for the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph shall supersede any other provisions
        in this Section 13.1 to the contrary.

       

      
        158

        
          

      

      (g)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, technical and conforming modifications to the Credit Documents (including any exhibit, schedule or other attachment) may be made with the consent of the
        Borrower and the Administrative Agent (i) if such modifications are not adverse in any material respect to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks (in which case, the consent of the Issuing Banks shall be required) or (ii) to the extent necessary (A) to
        integrate any Incremental Increase or Extended Commitment contemplated by Sections 2.16 and 2.17 or (B) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case with respect to this clause

          (B), the Lenders and the Issuing Banks shall have received at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date of such notice to the
        Lenders, a written notice from the Majority Lenders stating that the Majority Lenders object to such amendment.

       

      13.2      Notices.  Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be in writing (including
        by facsimile transmission).  All such written notices shall be mailed, faxed or delivered to the applicable address, facsimile number or electronic mail address, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by
        telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows:

       

      (a)          if to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Issuing Bank, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified for such
        Person on Schedule 13.2 or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties; and

       

      (b)          if to any other Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified in its Administrative Questionnaire or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic
        mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Issuing Banks.

       

      All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made upon the earlier to occur of (i) actual receipt by the relevant party hereto and (ii)(A) if delivered by hand or by courier, when signed
        for by or on behalf of the relevant party hereto; (B) if delivered by mail, three (3) Business Days after deposit in the mails, postage prepaid; (C) if delivered by facsimile, when sent and receipt has been confirmed by telephone; and (D) if
        delivered by electronic mail, when delivered; provided that notices and other communications to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.3, 2.6, 2.9, 4.2
        and 5.1 shall not be effective until received.

       

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

       

      
        159

        
          

      

      13.4       Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Credit Documents and in any document, certificate or statement
        delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans hereunder.  Such representations and warranties shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan
        or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied (other than Obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements, Secured Cash Management Agreements or contingent indemnification obligations, in any such case, not then due and payable).

       

      13.5       Payment of Expenses; Indemnification.

       

      (a)         The Borrower agrees (i) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the other Agents and the Lead Arranger and Bookrunner for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and
        expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication and execution of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or
        not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration (including all reasonable and documented costs, expenses, taxes, assessments and other charges incurred by the Administrative Agent, Collateral
        Agent or any Lender in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by this Agreement or any Security Document or any other document referred to therein or conducting of title reviews,
        mortgage matches and collateral reviews) of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs, which shall be limited to Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP and one local counsel as reasonably necessary in any relevant
        jurisdiction material to the interests of the Lenders taken as a whole and one regulatory counsel to all such Persons with respect to a relevant regulatory matter, taken as a whole, (and solely in the case of an actual conflict of interest, one
        additional counsel and (if reasonably necessary) one local counsel and one regulatory counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the affected Indemnitees similarly situated) and (ii) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the
        Issuing Banks and each Lender for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents (including all such costs and
        expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, and including all respective Attorney Costs).  The agreements in this Section 13.5 shall survive the repayment of all other
        Obligations.  All amounts due under this Section 13.5 shall be paid within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor (together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request).  If any Credit Party fails to pay
        when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Credit Document, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Credit Party by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

       

      
        160

        
          

      

      (b)         The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, Lender, Issuing Bank, Lead Arranger and Bookrunner, Agent-Related Party and their Affiliates, and their respective officers,
        directors, employees, partners, agents, advisors and other representatives of the foregoing (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney
        Costs but limited in the case of legal fees and expenses to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to all Indemnitees taken as a whole (and solely in the case of an actual conflict of
        interest, one additional counsel to the affected Indemnitees, taken as a whole) and (if reasonably necessary) one local counsel, in any relevant material jurisdiction) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred
        by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (i) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Credit Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument
        delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Commitment, Letter of Credit, or Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any
        refusal by an Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged Environmental
        Claim regarding, or liability or obligation (whether accrued, contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise) of the Credit Parties or any Subsidiary under or relating to any Environmental Law 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 (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation
        or proceeding) (a “Proceeding”) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto or whether or not such Proceeding is brought by the Borrower or any other Person and, in each case, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or
        in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the
        extent that such liabilities, losses, damages, claims or out-of-pocket expenses resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any of its Related Indemnified Persons, as determined by a final
        non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (y) a material breach of any obligations under any Credit Document by such Indemnitee or of any of its Related Indemnified Persons, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a
        court of competent jurisdiction or (z) any dispute solely among Indemnitees other than any claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an administrative agent or collateral agent or arranger or any similar role under
        this Agreement and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission of the Borrower, the Sponsor or any of their Affiliates (as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).  No Indemnitee shall be
        liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement (except for direct (as opposed to indirect,
        special, punitive or consequential) damages resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment, of such Indemnitee), nor shall any
        Indemnitee, Agent-Related Parties, Credit Party or any Subsidiary have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or arising out of its activities in connection
        herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date) (other than, in the case of any Credit Party, in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party, or which are included in a third-party claim, and for
        any out-of-pocket expenses related thereto).  In the case of an investigation, litigation or other Proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 13.5 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation,
        litigation or Proceeding is brought by any Credit Party, any Subsidiary of any Credit Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or
        not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents are consummated.  All amounts due under this Section 13.5 shall be paid within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor (together
        with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request); provided, however, that such Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount to the extent that there
        is a final judicial determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification rights with respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of this Section 13.5.  The agreements in this Section 13.5
        shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or Issuing Bank, the replacement of any of the foregoing or any Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.  For the avoidance of
        doubt, this Section 13.5(b) shall not apply to Taxes, except any Taxes that represent liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, prepayments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements arising from
        any non-Tax claims.

      13.6       Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

       

      (a)         The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any
        Affiliate of each Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) except as expressly permitted by Section 10.3, the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without
        the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
        obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 13.6.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and
        assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of each Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in clause (c) of this Section 13.6) and, to the extent expressly
        contemplated hereby, the Agent-Related Parties and each other Person entitled to indemnification under Section 13.5) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

       

      (b)         (i)           Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 13.6(b)(ii) below, any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees (other than the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their
        respective Affiliates, any natural person, any Disqualified Institution, or any Defaulting Lender) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans (including
        participations in L/C Obligations) at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:

       

      (A)           the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required (x) for an assignment to an existing Lender and their Affiliates
        and (y) for an assignment if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

       

      (B)          the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank (in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no
        consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to an existing Lender and their Affiliates.

       

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

       

      (A)          except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans 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 Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of
        $5,000,000, unless each of the Borrower, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no such consent of
        the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

       

      (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 Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in
        the amount of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment and the Administrative Agent shall
        enter the relevant information in the Register pursuant to clause (b)(iv) of this Section 13.6; and

       

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

       

      
        162

        
          

      

      (iii)        Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(iv) of this Section 13.6, from and after the effective date specified in
        each Assignment and 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 2.10, 2.11, 3.11, 5.4 and 13.5).  Any assignment or
        transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and
        obligations in accordance with clause (c) of this Section 13.6.

       

      (iv)         The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and
        Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders (including any SPVs that provide all or any part of a Loan pursuant to Section 13.6(g) hereof), and the Commitments of, and principal
        amount (and stated interest amounts) of the Loans and L/C Obligations and any payment made by each Issuing Bank under any applicable Letter of Credit owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). 
        Further, the Register shall contain the name and address of the Administrative Agent and the lending office through which each such Person acts under this Agreement.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the
        Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
        notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Bank and, solely with respect to itself, each other Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time
        upon reasonable prior notice.

       

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

       

      (c)          (i)           Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities other than any Defaulting Lender,
        any Disqualified Institution (to the extent that the list of Disqualified Institutions has been made available to all Lenders), the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or their respective Affiliates or natural persons (each, a “Participant”)

        in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B)
        such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with
        such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
        Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
        Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i) or (ii) of the second proviso of the second sentence of Section 13.1(a) that affects such Participant, provided
        that the Participant shall have no right to consent to any modification to the percentages specified in the definitions of the terms “Majority Lenders” or “Required Lenders”.  Subject to clause (c)(ii) of this Section 13.6, the
        Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.11 and 5.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections
        and Sections 2.12 and 13.7) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.6).  To the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the
        benefits of Section 13.8(b) as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 13.8(a) as though it were a Lender.

       

      
        163

        
          

      

      (ii)        A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.11 or 5.4 than the applicable
        Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or except to the extent the
        entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation; provided that the Participant shall be subject to the
        provisions in Section 2.12 as if it were an assignee under clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 13.6.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a
        nonfiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest amounts) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this
        Agreement (the “Participant Register”).  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and each party hereto shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of
        such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any
        Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such
        commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) or Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor version).

       

      (d)          Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
        to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 13.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or
        assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee
        for such Lender as a party hereto.  In order to facilitate such pledge or assignment or for any other reason, the Borrower hereby agrees that, upon request of any Lender at any time and from time to time after the Borrower has made its initial
        borrowing hereunder, the Borrower shall provide to such Lender, at the Borrower’s own expense, a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit H evidencing the Loans owing to such Lender.

       

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

       

      
        164

        
          

      

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

       

      (g)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPV”), identified as such in
        writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make the Borrower pursuant to
        this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part
        of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof.  The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by
        such Granting Lender.  Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender).  In furtherance of the
        foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior
        indebtedness of any SPV, it shall not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state
        thereof.  In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.6, any SPV may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying
        any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for
        the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or
        credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV.  This Section 13.6(g) may not be amended without the written consent of the SPV.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, subject to the following sentence, each SPV
        shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.11 and 5.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the limitations and requirements of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.11
        and 5.4 as though it were a Lender, and Sections 2.12 and 13.7), and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.6).  Notwithstanding the
        prior sentence, an SPV shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.11 or 5.4 than its Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the grant to such SPV,
        unless such grant to such SPV is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent.

       

      (h)         Any request for consent of the Borrower pursuant to Section 13.6(b)(i)(A) and related communications shall be delivered by the Administrative Agent simultaneously to the following Persons:

       

      (i)          with respect to any request for consent in respect of any assignment relating to Commitments or Loans, to (A) any recipient
        that is an employee of the Borrower, as designated in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower from time to time (if any) and (B) the chief financial officer of the Borrower or any other Authorized Officer designated by the Borrower in
        writing to the Administrative Agent from time to time; and

       

      

      
        165

        
          

      

      (ii)         in addition to the Persons set forth in clause (i) above and prior to the occurrence of a Change of
        Control, with respect to any request for consent in respect of any assignment or participation relating to Commitments or Loans, to an employee of the Sponsor designated in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Sponsor from time to time.

       

      (i)         The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof
        relating to Disqualified Institutions.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (a) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or participant or prospective Lender or
        participant is a Disqualified Institution or (b) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution.

       

      (j)          If any Loans or Commitments are assigned or participated (x) to a Disqualified Institution or (y) without complying with the notice requirement under Section 13.6(h)(i), such assignment or
        participation shall not be void, but: (a) the Borrower may (i) terminate any commitment of such person and prepay any applicable outstanding Loans at a price equal to the lesser of par and the amount such Person paid to acquire such Loans or
        Commitments, without premium, penalty, prepayment fee or breakage, and/or (ii) require such person to assign its rights and obligations to one or more eligible Lenders at the price indicated above (which assignment shall not be subject to any
        processing and recordation fee), (b) no such Person shall receive any information or reporting provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (c) for purposes of voting, any Loans and Commitments held by such Person shall be
        deemed not to be outstanding, and such Person shall have no voting or consent rights with respect to “Required Lender” or class votes or consents, (d) for purposes of any matter requiring the vote or consent of each Lender affected by any amendment
        or waiver, such person shall be deemed to have voted or consented to approve such amendment or waiver if a majority of the affected class so approves, and (e) such person shall not be entitled to any expense reimbursement or indemnification rights
        and shall be treated in all other respects as a Defaulting Lender; it being understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions shall only apply to a Disqualified Institution and not to any assignee of such Disqualified Institution that becomes a
        Lender so long as such assignee is not a Disqualified Institution or an affiliate thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable assignment or participation effective
        date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to the definition of Disqualified Institution) such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender.

       

      13.7       Replacements of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.

       

      (a)          In the event that any Lender (i) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10, 3.11 or 5.4 (other than Section 5.4(b)), (ii) is affected in the manner
        described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) and as a result thereof any of the actions described in such Section is required to be taken or (iii) becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to replace such Lender; provided that, (A) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (B) the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and the Borrower shall pay all other amounts (other
        than any disputed amounts), pursuant to Section 2.10, 3.11 or 5.4, as the case may be owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (C) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the
        terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank (except to the extent such Issuing Banks is, or is an Affiliate of, the Lender being replaced) and (D) the replaced Lender
        shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6(b) (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to
        therein as long as the replacement Lender pays such fee).

       

      
        166

        
          

      

      (b)         If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that pursuant to the terms of Section 13.1
        requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected or the Required Lenders and with respect to which the Majority Lenders (or, in the case of a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender due to its failure to consent to a proposed increase in the
        Borrowing Base, the Required Lenders) shall have granted their consent to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to
        the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank (except to the extent any such Issuing Bank is, or is an Affiliate of, the Lender being replaced); provided that, (i) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to
        such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced (other than principal and interest) shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, (ii) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such
        Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Non-Consenting Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 13.6
        (provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein as long as the replacement Lender pays such fee).

       

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

       

      (d)         Any such Lender replacement or Commitment termination pursuant to this Section 13.7 shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the
        Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

       

      13.8       Adjustments; Set-off.

       

      (a)         If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment in respect of any principal of or interest on all or part of the Loans made by it, or the
        participations in Letter of Credit Obligations held by it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 11.5,
        or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender entitled thereto, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall (i) notify the
        Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase for cash at face value from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such
        collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal of and accrued interest on their
        respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided, however, that (A) if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from
        such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest and (B) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (1) any payment
        made by the Borrower or any other Credit Party pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (2) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in
        any of its Loans, Commitments or participations in Drawings to any assignee or participant or (3) any disproportionate payment obtained by a Lender as a result of the extension by Lenders of the maturity date or expiration date of some but not all
        Loans or Commitments or any increase in the Applicable Margin in respect of Loans or Commitments of Lenders that have consented to any such extension.  Each Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so
        under Requirements of Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Credit Party rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
        a direct creditor of such Credit Party in the amount of such participation.

       

      
        167

        
          

      

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

       

      13.9       Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic
        transmission, i.e. a “pdf” or a “tif”), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the
        parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

       

      13.10     Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
        prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

       

      13.11     Integration.  This Agreement and the other Credit Documents represent the agreement of the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
        with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Borrower, the Guarantors, any Agent nor any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or
        referred to herein or in the other Credit Documents.

       

      13.12    GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE
        OF NEW YORK.

       

      13.13     Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

       

      (a)         submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and
        enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, in each case located in New York
        County, and appellate courts from any thereof; provided that nothing contained herein or in any other Credit Document will prevent any Lender, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent from bringing
        any action to enforce any award or judgment or exercise any right under the Credit Documents or against any Collateral or any other property of any Credit Party in any other forum in which jurisdiction can be established;

       

      
        168

        
          

      

      (b)         consents that any such action or proceeding shall be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that
        such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

       

      (c)          agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to
        such Person at its address set forth on Schedule 13.2 at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant to Section 13.2;

       

      (d)         agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by Requirements of Law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction;

       

      (e)         without limitation of Sections 12.7 and 13.5, waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section
        13.13 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages (other than, in the case of any Credit Party, in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party, or which are included in a third-party claim, and for
        any out-of-pocket expenses related thereto); and

       

      (f)          agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

       

      13.14     Acknowledgments.  The Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

       

      (a)          it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents;

       

      (b)       (i) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other
        modification hereof or of any other Credit Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrower and the other Credit Parties, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Agents on the other hand,
        and the Borrower and the other Credit Parties are capable of evaluating and understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit Documents (including any amendment,
        waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, each of the Administrative Agent, other Agents and the Lenders, is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial
        advisor, agent or fiduciary for any of the Borrower, any other Credit Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, equity holders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) neither the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, the Lead
        Arranger and Bookrunner, nor any Lender has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower or any other Credit Party with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading
        thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or any other Agent, any Lead Arranger and Bookrunner, or any Lender has advised
        or is currently advising any of the Borrower, the other Credit Parties or their respective Affiliates on other matters) and none of the Administrative Agent, any Agent, the Lead Arranger and Bookrunner or any Lender has any obligation to any of the
        Borrower, the other Credit Parties or their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents; (iv) the Administrative Agent and its

        Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) none of the Administrative Agent, any Agent or any Lender has provided and

        consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate.  The Borrower hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent
        and each Agent with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty; and

       

      
        169

        
          

      

      (c)         no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Credit Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Borrower, on the
        one hand, and any Lender, on the other hand.

       

      13.15     WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL.  THE BORROWER, EACH AGENT, EACH ISSUING BANK AND EACH LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS
        AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

       

      13.16     Confidentiality.  The Administrative Agent, each other Agent, any Issuing Bank and each other Lender shall hold all information not marked as “public information” and furnished by
        or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with such Lender’s evaluation of whether to become a Lender hereunder or obtained by such Lender, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or such other Agent pursuant to the
        requirements of this Agreement (“Confidential Information”), confidential in accordance with its customary procedure for handling confidential information of this nature and in any event may make disclosure to any other Lender hereto and (a)
        to its Affiliates and its Affiliates’ employees, legal counsel, independent auditors and other experts or agents (collectively, the “Representatives”) who need to know such information in connection with the Transactions and are informed of
        the confidential nature of such information (it being understood that 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); (b) to the
        extent requested by any Governmental Authority or self-regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Person; provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, agrees that it will
        notify the Borrower as soon as practicable in the event of any such disclosure by such Person (other than at the request of a regulatory authority or examiner) unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation; (c) to the extent
        required by applicable Requirements of Law or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; provided, that the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, agrees that it will notify the
        Borrower as soon as practicable in the event of any such disclosure by such Person (other than at the request of a regulatory authority or examiner) unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation; (d) subject to an agreement
        containing provisions at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Section 13.16 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), to any pledgee referred to in Section 13.6(d), counterparty to a
        Hedge Agreement, credit insurer, eligible assignee of or participant in, or any prospective eligible assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.6, provided that the disclosure of any such Confidential Information to any Lenders or eligible assignees or participants shall be made subject to the acknowledgement and acceptance by such Lender, eligible
        assignee or participant that such Confidential Information is being disseminated on a confidential basis (on substantially the terms set forth in this Section 13.16 or as otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Borrower) in
        accordance with the standard processes of the Administrative Agent or customary market standards for dissemination of such type of Confidential Information; (e) with the prior written consent of the Borrower; (f) to the extent such Confidential
        Information becomes public other than by reason of disclosure by such Person in breach of this Agreement; provided that unless prohibited by applicable Requirements of Law, each Lender, the Administrative
        Agent, any Issuing Bank and each other Agent shall endeavor to notify the Borrower (without any liability for a failure to so notify the Borrower) of any request made to such Lender, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or such other Agent,
        as applicable, by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination of the financial condition of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public
        information prior to disclosure of such information; provided further that in no event shall any Lender, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any other Agent be obligated or required to return any
        materials furnished by the Borrower or any Subsidiary; (g) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any information
        relating to Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries received by it from such Lender) or to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization; or (h) to the extent such Confidential Information is independently developed by or was in the prior
        possession of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and Bookrunner, such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates so long as not based on information obtained in a manner that would violate this Section 13.16; provided that no disclosure shall be made to any Disqualified Institution.  In addition, each Lender, the Administrative Agent and each other Agent may provide Confidential Information to prospective Transferees
        or to any pledgee referred to in Section 13.6 or to prospective direct or indirect contractual counterparties in Hedge Agreements to be entered into in connection with Loans made hereunder as long as such Person is advised of and
        agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 13.16 or confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as those set forth in the Section 13.16.  “Information” means all information received from the
        Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower and other than
        information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by the arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry.

       

      
        170

        
          

      

      Each Lender acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower and its
        Affiliates and their 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.

       

      All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement or the other
        Credit Documents will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities.  Accordingly, each Lender represents to the
        Borrower and the Administrative 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, including federal and state securities laws.

       

      
        171

        
          

      

      13.17     Release of Collateral and Guarantee Obligations.

       

      (a)         The Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent by the Credit Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released (i) in full, as set forth in clause (b)
        below, (ii) upon the Disposition of such Collateral (including as part of or in connection with any other Disposition permitted hereunder) to any Person other than another Credit Party, to the extent such Disposition is made in compliance with the
        terms of this Agreement and the Liens encumbering such Collateral and held by each other creditor party to any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement are required to be released pursuant to the relevant intercreditor agreement (and the Collateral
        Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Credit Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) upon any Collateral becoming an Excluded Equity Interest, an Excluded Asset or becoming owned
        by an Excluded Subsidiary (iv) to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Credit Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease, (v) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the
        Majority Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with Section 13.1), (vi) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such
        Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee in accordance with the second succeeding sentence or Section 5(e) of the Guarantee and (vii) as required by the Collateral Agent to effect any Disposition of Collateral in connection with any
        exercise of remedies of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents.  Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than
        those being released) of the Credit Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Credit Parties, including the proceeds of any Disposition, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to the extent otherwise
        released in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Documents.  Additionally, the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Guarantors shall be released from the Guarantees upon consummation of any transaction permitted hereunder resulting in
        such Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Restricted Subsidiary or otherwise becoming an Excluded Subsidiary.  Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Credit Document relating to any such Collateral or Guarantor shall no longer be
        deemed to be repeated.  In connection with any release hereunder, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall promptly take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower and at the Borrower’s
        expense in connection with the release of any Liens created by any Credit Document in respect of such Subsidiary, property or asset.

       

      (b)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Credit Document, when Payment in Full has occurred (subject to any (i) Hedging Obligations in respect of any
        Secured Hedge Agreements, (ii) Cash Management Obligations in respect of any Secured Cash Management Agreements and (iii) any contingent or indemnification obligations not then due and payable), upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative
        Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Secured Party) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all obligations under any
        Credit Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be any (i) Hedging Obligations in respect of any Secured Hedge Agreements, (ii) Cash Management Obligations in respect of any Secured Cash Management Agreements and (iii) any
        contingent or indemnification obligations not then due and payable.  Any such release of Obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such Obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of
        the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment
        of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

       

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

       

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

       

      
        172

        
          

      

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

       

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

       

      13.22     Collateral Matters; Hedge Agreements.  The benefit of the Security Documents and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to any Collateral securing the Obligations
        shall also extend to and be available on a pro rata basis pursuant to terms agreed upon in the Credit Documents to any Person (a) under any Secured Hedge Agreement, in each case, after giving effect to all netting arrangements relating to such
        Hedge Agreements or (b) under any Secured Cash Management Agreement.  No Person shall have any voting rights under any Credit Document solely as a result of the existence of obligations owed to it under any such Secured Hedge Agreement or Secured
        Cash Management Agreement.

       

      13.23     Agency of the Borrower for the Other Credit Parties.  Each of the other Credit Parties hereby appoints the Borrower as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and
        the other Credit Documents, including the giving and receipt of notices and the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and therein and all modifications hereto and thereto.

       

      13.24     Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.

       

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of
        any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of 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 to any Lender that is an EEA
        Financial Institution; and

       

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

       

      
        173

        
          

      

      (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 Resolution Authority.

       

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

       

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

        CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

       

      Section 2.1           Board Representation.

       

      (a)          Appointment.

       

      (i)           From and after the Closing, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Board shall be
          comprised of up to seven (7) Directors (subject to increase pursuant to the proviso below) of whom:

       

      
        10

        
          

      

      (A)        for so long as the GSO Stockholders own fifty percent (50%) or more of the Company Common Shares
          that they owned, in the aggregate, on the Closing Date (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock subdivisions and other similar actions), five (5) shall be designees of the GSO Majority (or, with the prior written consent of the GSO
          Majority, of one or more Third Party Partners) (each, a “GSO Designee”); provided
          that, at the election of the GSO Majority the GSO Designees may be either Independent (each, an “Independent Director”) or not Independent (each, a “GSO Director”); provided, further that, in the event that the GSO Stockholders own less than fifty percent (50%) but equal to or greater than
          ten percent (10%) of the Company Common Shares that they owned, in the aggregate, on the Closing Date (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock subdivisions, and other
          similar actions), the number of GSO Designees shall be automatically adjusted so that the GSO Designees constitute a proportional number of the Directors (i.e., ranging from fifty percent (50%) to ten percent (10%) of the total number of directors of the Board, but rounding up to the nearest whole number of Director designees); provided, further that in the event that the GSO Stockholders own less than ten percent (10%) of the Company Common Shares that they owned, in the aggregate, on the Closing Date (subject to
          adjustment for stock splits, stock subdivisions, and other similar actions), then the GSO Majority shall not be entitled to designate any GSO Designee pursuant to this clause (A); provided, further that, in the event that the Noteholder Backstop Stockholders acquire and continue to hold, in the aggregate, greater than seven percent (7%) of the issued and outstanding Company Common Shares (on a fully-diluted basis) as of the Closing Date (subject to adjustment for stock
          splits, stock subdivisions, and other similar actions), one (1) of the GSO Directors that is designatable pursuant to this clause
            (A) by the GSO Majority (or, with the prior written consent of the GSO Majority, of one (1) or more Third Party Partners), shall instead be designated by the Noteholder Backstop Majority (the “Noteholder Backstop Director”); provided, further that, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Noteholder Backstop Majority is entitled to designate a Noteholder Backstop Director and at such time, the GSO Stockholders are entitled to designate only one (1)
          GSO Designee, then, notwithstanding the foregoing, (I) the GSO Stockholders shall be entitled to designate one (1) GSO Designee and (II) the Noteholder Backstop Majority shall be entitled to designate one (1) Noteholder Backstop Director;

       

      (B)         one (1) shall be the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO Director”); and

       

      (C)         one (1) shall be an officer of the Company selected by the Board (the “Officer Director”),
          who shall initially be Kyle M. Hammond;

       

      provided that, for so long as the GSO Stockholders own greater than fifty percent (50%) of
        the Company Common Shares that they owned, in the aggregate, on the Closing Date, additional Directors (beyond those contemplated by clauses (A) through (C) immediately above) may be designated by the GSO Majority as a GSO Designee;
        provided, further that, such additional GSO Designees are mutually acceptable to the GSO Majority and the Board.

       

      (ii)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, as of the Closing Date, the Board shall initially be
          composed of those individuals set forth on Schedule 4 hereto.

       

      (iii)         The Board may designate one (1) Director to act as the chairperson of the Board.

       

      
        11

        
          

      

      (iv)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Director shall be an individual who is a Restricted
          Person (provided that clause (b) of the definition “Restricted Person” shall not apply with respect to any GSO Director).

       

      (b)         Any Director may be removed from the Board in the manner allowed by law and the Charter and Bylaws; provided,
          however, that, subject to Applicable Law, the removal of a Director appointed pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i)(A) shall only occur with the consent of the Stockholder entitled to designate such Director.  In the event that a vacancy
          is created at any time by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal (with or without cause) of any Director, the remaining Directors and the Company shall cause the vacancy created thereby to be filled by a new designee appointed
          in accordance with Section 2.1(a), Section 2.1(f) or Section 2.1(g), as applicable.

       

      (c)         The Company shall take such action as may be required under Applicable Law to cause the Board at all times to consist
          of the Directors specified in Section 2.1(a), Section 2.1(f) or Section 2.1(g), as applicable, and to cause the election of each Director designee designated pursuant to such Sections to the Board, including nominating
          such individuals to be elected as Directors as provided herein and facilitating the removal of any Director who is to be removed in accordance with the terms hereof.

       

      (d)         Each of the Stockholders agrees to take any and all actions reasonably necessary (including nominating such
          individuals to be elected as members of the Board and to vote, or act by written consent with respect to, any Voting Securities beneficially owned by it, at each annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company at which Directors are to
          be elected or to take all actions by written consent in lieu of any such meeting as are necessary) to cause the individuals designated pursuant to Section 2.1(a), Section 2.1(f) or Section 2.1(g), as applicable to be
          elected to the Board.

       

      (e)          In the event that a vacancy is created at any time by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal (with
          or without cause) of any Director designated pursuant to Section 2.1(a), Section 2.1(f) or Section 2.1(g), as applicable, and the remaining Directors pursuant to Section 2.1(b) have caused the vacancy created
          thereby to be filled by a new designee designated pursuant to Section 2.1(a) then, in such case, each Stockholder hereby agrees to take, at any time and from time to time, all actions necessary to ratify or otherwise accomplish the same. 
          Upon the written request of (i) the GSO Majority, in the case of all Directors (other than, the Noteholder Backstop Director (if any)), each other Stockholder shall vote, or act by written consent with respect to, all Voting Securities
          beneficially owned by it and otherwise take or cause to be taken all actions necessary within his, her or its control to remove any such Director or (ii) the Noteholder Backstop Majority, in the case of the Noteholder Backstop Director (if any),
          each other Stockholder shall vote, or act by written consent with respect to, all Voting Securities beneficially owned by it and otherwise take or cause to be taken all actions necessary within his, her or its control to remove the Noteholder
          Backstop Director and, in each case of the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), to elect any replacement Director duly designated as provided in Section 2.1(b).

       

      
        12

        
          

      

      (f)          In the event the CEO Director ceases to be (for any reason) the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the CEO
          Director shall immediately resign or otherwise be removed from the Board, and the Directors remaining in office, the Company and the Stockholders shall take such actions as reasonably necessary to elect the replacement Chief Executive Officer of
          the Company (or another Subsidiary of the Company) to fill such vacancy as the CEO Director.

       

      (g)         In the event the Officer Director ceases to be (for any reason) any officer of the Company, the Officer Director
          shall immediately resign or otherwise be removed from the Board, and the Directors remaining in office, the Company and the Stockholders shall take such actions as reasonably necessary to elect a replacement officer of the Company (or another
          Subsidiary of the Company) to fill such vacancy as the Officer Director.

       

      (h)          The Company shall reimburse each Director for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Director for the
          purpose of attending meetings of the Board or committees thereof.

       

      (i)          Subject to Section 3.3 and without limiting any non-waivable provisions of Applicable Law, each GSO Director
          shall be permitted to provide any information he or she receives in his or her capacity as a Director to any GSO Stockholder and its directors, officers and employees.

       

      (j)          Without limiting anything contained in the Bylaws or the Charter, the Company (or an Affiliate thereof) shall enter
          into customary indemnification agreements with the Directors, which agreements shall include, among other provisions, exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions.  The Company, at the discretion of the Board, may enter
          into customary indemnification and exculpation agreements for the benefit of Stockholders and their Affiliates (solely in their capacity as stockholders of the Company).

       

      Section 2.2           Committees; Subsidiaries.

       

      (a)         The Board may designate one or more committees, as the Board shall determine from time to time, provided
          that, subject to Applicable Law, and unless otherwise agreed to by the GSO Majority, in its sole and absolute discretion, each committee shall be composed of a majority of GSO Directors (subject to proportionate adjustments based on the ownership
          of Company Common Shares by the GSO Stockholders in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(i)(A)).

       

      (b)         The board of directors (or similar governing body) of each Subsidiary of the Company shall be comprised of such
          number of directors or managers as determined and designated by the Board; provided that, subject to Applicable Law, and unless otherwise agreed to by the GSO Majority, in its sole and absolute discretion, each board of directors (or
          similar governing body) of each Subsidiary of the Company shall be composed of a majority of GSO Directors (subject to proportionate adjustments based on the ownership of Company Common Shares by the GSO Stockholders in accordance with Section
            2.1(a)(i)(A)).

       

      Section 2.3           Board Approvals; Meetings.

       

      (a)          Subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, each Director shall have one (1) vote on any matter brought before or
          voted by the Board.

       

      
        13

        
          

      

      (b)          Except as required by Applicable Law, all actions of the Board shall be approved by the affirmative vote of a
          majority of the votes of the Directors present at any duly convened Board meeting in which a quorum is present.

       

      (c)          Quorum for meetings of the Board, including any meetings that have been postponed, shall consist of a majority of the
          total voting power of the Board; provided that at least one (1) GSO Director is present; provided, further, that if a quorum is not present for such duly called meeting with at least three (3) Business Days’ advance notice
          to all Directors, then another meeting of the Board may be called and held within five (5) Business Days of such initially called meeting, and the quorum for such meeting will be a majority of the total voting power of the Board.  Meetings of the
          Board may be called by any Director at any time; provided that at least twenty-four (24) hours’ written notice of such meeting has been provided to the Directors or notice thereof has been waived by each Director.

       

      (d)         Meetings of the Board or of any committee thereof may be held by means of telephone or video conferencing or other
          communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other and be heard.  Participation by a Director in a meeting pursuant to this Section 2.3(d)  will constitute presence in person at such
          meeting.

       

      (e)         Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board or of any committee thereof may be taken
          without a meeting if all Directors (or members of such committee, in the case of a committee of the Board) consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writings or electronic transmissions are filed with the minutes of
          proceedings of the Board or committee in accordance with Applicable Law.

       

      (f)          The provisions of this Section 2.3 shall apply to any meeting of the board of directors (or similar governing
          body) of each Subsidiary of the Company mutatis mutandis.

       

      Section 2.4          Officers.  The Board shall appoint (or cause or instruct the appointment of), from time to
        time, the officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries (each, an “Officer”) and may assign titles to such Officers as the Board may deem necessary or advisable.  Each Officer shall have such powers, authority and responsibilities as are
        delegated in writing by the Board (or the board or other governing body of the applicable Subsidiary) from time to time.  Each Officer shall serve at the pleasure of the Board, and any appointment may be revoked by the Board at any time, with or
        without cause.  The Officers as of the Closing Date are as set forth on Schedule 5 hereto.

       

      Section 2.5          Corporate Opportunities.  Except as otherwise provided in the last proviso of this Section
          2.5, (a) no Stockholder and no stockholder, member, manager, partner or Affiliate of any Stockholder (other than the Company or its Subsidiaries) or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents (any of the foregoing, a “Stockholder
          Group Member”) shall have any duty to communicate or present an investment or business opportunity or prospective economic advantage to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Company or one of its Subsidiaries may, but for the
        provisions of this Section 2.5, have an interest or expectancy (a “Corporate Opportunity”), and (b) no Stockholder nor any Stockholder Group Member (even if also a director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) will be deemed to
        have breached any fiduciary or other duty or obligation to the Company by reason of the fact that any such Person pursues or acquires a Corporate Opportunity for itself or its Affiliates or directs, sells, assigns or transfers such Corporate
        Opportunity to another Person or does not communicate information regarding such Corporate Opportunity to the Company or its Subsidiaries.  The Company, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, renounces any interest in a Corporate Opportunity and
        any expectancy that a Corporate Opportunity will be offered to the Company; provided that neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries renounces any interest or expectancy any of them may have in any Corporate Opportunity that is offered
        to a Director or an officer of the Company or its Subsidiaries who is an employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries, whether or not such individual is also a director or officer of a Stockholder, if such opportunity is expressly offered to such
        Person in his or her capacity as a Director or officer of the Company or its Subsidiaries and the Stockholders recognize that the Company and its Subsidiaries reserve such rights.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, and for
        the avoidance of doubt, each Stockholder who is also an officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be subject to the duties of officers or employees, as applicable, under Applicable Law.

      Section 2.6          GSO Majority Consent Rights.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, for so
        long as the GSO Stockholders hold the number of Company Common Shares equal to or greater than thirty percent (30%) of the Company Common Shares that they owned, in the aggregate, on the Closing Date (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock subdivisions, and
        other similar actions), neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any of the following actions, directly or indirectly, through amendment or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the GSO Majority (which consent shall be
        in its sole and absolute discretion):

       

      (a)         create, authorize, issue, purchase, redeem, repurchase or amend the rights,
            preferences or privileges of, any Equity Security or equity securities of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, including any security convertible into or exchangeable for any Equity Security or equity securities of any of the Company’s
            Subsidiaries, including any increase in the authorized number of (or issuance of a new class of) Equity Securities or equity securities of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, or create, authorize, adopt or modify any option plan, equity
            incentive plan or phantom stock plan with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or their respective business); provided that
            the foregoing shall not prohibit required repurchases in connection with incentive plans;

       

      (b)          increase the number of Equity Security or equity securities of any of the
            Company’s Subsidiaries reserved for issuance to employees, directors or contractors of the Company or its Subsidiaries;

       

      (c)          amend, restate, modify or replace the certificate of incorporation, by-laws
            or any other organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Charter and Bylaws);

       

      (d)         liquidate, wind up, dissolve or restructure the Company or any of its
            Subsidiaries or initiate any action relating to bankruptcy (including any action seeking to take advantage of any bankruptcy laws or any other law providing for the relief of debtors), reorganization or recapitalization with respect to any such
            Person;

       

      (e)          initiate a public offering (including an IPO) of the Equity Security or
            equity securities of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries (or any successor thereto);

       

      
        15

        
          

      

      (f)          merge or consolidate with any other Person or sell all or substantially all
            of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ assets, or enter into any transaction that would result in a change of control of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

       

      (g)        enter into transactions or agreements with Affiliates of the Company (other
            than wholly-owned Subsidiaries of the Company), including for the avoidance of doubt, any Persons Affiliated with any Stockholders or directors or officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

       

      (h)        incur or guarantee any indebtedness, in each case in an amount greater than
            $5,000,000, in any single transaction, or which would result in outstanding indebtedness obligations in excess of $10,000,000 in the aggregate, or amend the material terms of or otherwise refinance such indebtedness;

       

      (i)          incur any liens outside of the ordinary course of business;

       

      (j)           change the accounting firm retained to audit the Company’s and its
            Subsidiaries’ financial statements; and

       

      (k)          propose, agree or commit to do any of the foregoing set forth in Sections 2.6(a) through (j).

       

      Section 2.7        Non-GSO Directors Consent Rights.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
        neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall enter into any transaction between the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Affiliates of GSO Capital, on the other hand,
          which (a) contemplate aggregate payments by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to such Affiliates in excess of $15,000,000 during any fiscal year and (b) are not on terms reflective of arms’-length negotiations, without the consent of the majority
        of the Independent Directors then in office (or the consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Stockholders holding a majority of the Company Common Shares held by the disinterested Stockholders (with
        respect to such transaction) at such time, if there are no Independent Directors then in office).  This Section 2.7 shall no longer be of any force or effect in the event that the Company (or any successor or Affiliate thereof) is listed on
        an Established OTC Marketplace or on a national securities exchange.

          unconsolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the end of such fiscal quarter, and consolidated and unconsolidated statements of income and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries for such fiscal quarter, prepared

      (ii)         on an annual basis, and on the later of (A) within ninety (90) days following the end of each of
          fiscal year and (B) such time as such financial statements are delivered to the lenders under the Exit Facility (or any senior credit facility of the Company), audited annual consolidated and unconsolidated financial statements of the Company

          shall be entitled to receive any reports and/or information (or access thereto) if the Board, based on the advice of outside legal counsel to the Company, reasonably determines in good faith that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve
          the attorney-client or other legal privilege of the Company or its Subsidiaries, to protect highly confidential proprietary information, or for substantially similar reasons.

       

      (d)         Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation with
          respect to this Section 3.1 if at the applicable time of determination, the Company is filing periodic reports with the SEC (which filing status shall be subject to Section 6.16(b)).

       

      Section 3.2          Quarterly Conference Calls.  Beginning no earlier than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date,
        the Company shall participate in quarterly conference calls with Stockholders (which may be a single conference call with multiple Stockholders), except for the Prohibited Stockholders who will have no rights under this Section 3.2, to
        discuss the Company’s results of operations for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter.  Each quarterly conference call will take place following the last day of each fiscal quarter and not later than ten (10) Business Days following the date on
        which the Company distributes the quarterly or annual financial statements pursuant to Section 3.1(a), as applicable.  No fewer than two (2) Business Days prior to each quarterly conference call, the Company will provide a notice to the
        Stockholders (except for the Prohibited Stockholders) with the time and date of such conference call as well as the instructions for obtaining access to such conference call.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary,
        the Company shall have no obligation with respect to this Section 3.2 if at the applicable time of determination, the Company is filing periodic reports with the SEC.

      Section 3.3          Confidentiality.  Each Stockholder shall maintain in strict confidentiality any confidential,
        non-public or proprietary information provided pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise in connection with its investment in the Company (including any and all information described in, or obtained pursuant to, this Article III and
        information provided to the Directors), including any information with regard to the business, customers, assets or affairs of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (“Confidential Information”) and shall not disclose such information to
        third parties without the prior written consent of the Board, except: (a) to the extent such Confidential Information has become generally available to the public (other than through disclosure in contravention of this Agreement), (b) to such
        Stockholder’s directors, officers, trustees, partners, equityholders (actual and prospective), Affiliates, employees, agents, lenders and other financing sources and professional consultants (“Stockholder Representatives”) on a “need to
        know” basis or in the ordinary course of such Stockholder’s business; provided that such Stockholder (i) informs each such Stockholder Representative of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and of this provision and its
        terms and (ii) causes each such Stockholder Representative to treat such Confidential Information in compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.3 (and the applicable Stockholder shall be liable for any breach of this paragraph by its
        Stockholder Representatives), (c) to any Person to which such recipient offers to Transfer any Equity Securities (provided that (i) such Transfer would be permitted by the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) the prospective Transferee has,
        prior to disclosure of any Confidential Information thereto, first entered into a customary confidentiality agreement with respect to such Confidential Information in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Board), (d) to any other
        Stockholder or any Director, (e) to the extent required to be disclosed by such Stockholder, its Affiliates or any of its Stockholder Representatives pursuant to applicable securities laws or stock exchange rules, and (f) with the Company’s prior
        written consent.  If any Stockholder (or any other recipient of Confidential Information obligated to comply with this Section 3.3) is requested to disclose Confidential Information by Applicable Law or any Governmental Authority having
        jurisdiction over such Stockholder or other recipient, such Stockholder or other recipient will promptly notify the Company to permit the Company or its applicable Subsidiary to seek a protective order or other reasonable assurance that
        confidential treatment will be accorded to such Confidential Information and such Stockholder or other recipient will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company’s efforts to seek such protective order or other reasonable assurance.  If,
        in the absence of a protective order, such Stockholder or other recipient is compelled as a matter of Applicable Law to disclose any such Confidential Information in any proceeding or pursuant to legal process, such Stockholder or other recipient
        may disclose to the Governmental Authority compelling disclosure only the part of such Confidential Information as, at the advice of its counsel, is required by Applicable Law to be disclosed (in which case, prior to such disclosure, such
        Stockholder or other recipient will advise and consult with the Company or the relevant Subsidiary and their respective counsel as to such disclosure and the nature and wording of such disclosure) and such Stockholder or other recipient will use
        commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such Confidential Information.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, each GSO Stockholder shall be permitted to
        disclose any information provided pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise in connection with its investment in the Company as part of customary marketing materials (consisting of information regarding the nature and performance of such GSO
        Stockholder’s investment in the Company, including any information furnished by the Company to such GSO Stockholder pursuant to Section 3.1).

      ARTICLE IV.

        

        TRANSFERS

       

      Section 4.1          Transfer Restrictions.

       

      (a)         Subject to Sections 4.2, 5.1 and 5.2, each Stockholder shall be permitted to, directly or
          indirectly, Transfer any of its Equity Securities to any Person; provided that, no Transfer shall be permitted to a Company Competitor without first obtaining the written consent of GSO Majority.

       

      (b)        Notwithstanding anything herein or otherwise to the contrary, any otherwise permitted Transfer shall be null and void
          if (i) such Transfer may require the registration of such Transferred Equity Securities pursuant to any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws, (ii) such Transfer may result in a violation of Applicable Laws, (iii) such Transfer is
          made to any Person who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own such Transferred Equity Securities, (iv) prior to such Transfer, the Company and the Board do not receive a copy of the Joinder duly executed by the proposed Transferee as
          required pursuant Section 4.1(c), or (v) to the extent applicable, the Transferring Stockholder failed to comply with Section 4.2 (if the Transferring Stockholder is not a GSO Stockholder) or Section 5.2, as applicable.

       

      (c)         Without limiting anything contained herein (including Section 4.1(b)(v)), prior to the consummation of any
          Transfer of Equity Securities and as a condition thereto, (i) the Stockholder proposing to effect such Transfer will give the Company and the Board, a written notice thereof, and (ii) the Transferee of such the Equity Securities must execute and
          deliver to the Company and the Board an agreement in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement as (and to the same extent, and shall have the same obligations and rights as) the Transferring Stockholder (i.e., as a GSO Stockholder if the Transferring Stockholder is a GSO Stockholder, or as a Noteholder Backstop Stockholder if the Transferring Stockholder is a Noteholder Backstop Stockholder), pursuant to a
          Joinder Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (a “Joinder”).

       

      (d)          Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of Equity Securities in violation of any provision of this Agreement shall be null
          and void ab initio.

       

      Section 4.2           Right of First Offer.

       

      (a)         For so long as the GSO Stockholders collectively own the number of Company Common Shares equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%) of the Company Common Shares that they owned, in
          the aggregate, on the Closing Date (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock subdivisions, and other similar actions), in the event that any Stockholder (other than
          another GSO Stockholder) (such Stockholder, the “Transferring ROFO Stockholder”) determines to Transfer all or a portion of its Equity Securities (collectively, the
          “ROFO Shares”) to any Person (other than to a Permitted Affiliate), then the Transferring ROFO Stockholder shall first, before making any Transfer or offering to
          Transfer any ROFO Shares, deliver a written notice to such effect (the “ROFO Notice”) to the GSO Stockholders, setting forth the number of ROFO Shares that the
          Transferring ROFO Stockholder desires to sell.

       

      
        19

        
          

      

      (b)         The GSO Stockholders shall notify the Transferring ROFO Stockholder in writing (the “ROFO Response”) within
          twenty-one (21) days of its receipt of the ROFO Notice whether the GSO Stockholders have an interest in acquiring any portion of the ROFO Shares and shall include in their ROFO Response the price per ROFO Share that the GSO Stockholders desire to
          pay (the “Desired Price per Share”).  If a ROFO Response substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B is delivered in accordance with the prior sentence, then the Transferring ROFO Stockholder and the GSO Stockholders
          shall in good faith negotiate the terms of a sale of the ROFO Shares to the GSO Stockholders.

       

      (c)         The GSO Stockholders shall have twenty (20) Business Days from the date of the ROFO Notice to enter into a definitive
          agreement with the Transferring ROFO Stockholder for the Transfer of all of the applicable ROFO Shares of the Transferring ROFO Stockholder, during which time the Transferring ROFO Stockholder shall engage in good faith negotiations with the GSO
          Stockholders to attempt to reach a reasonable agreement with respect to such ROFO Shares.  Thereafter, the Transferring ROFO Stockholder and the GSO Stockholders shall then have ten (10) Business Days from the date of such agreement to consummate
          such purchase of the ROFO Shares (any such purchase, a “ROFO Sale”), which period shall be extended as appropriate in case of required regulatory approvals or any undue delay or delays caused by the Transferring ROFO Stockholder.

       

      (d)         In the event that the Transferring ROFO Stockholder and the GSO Stockholders fail to consummate a ROFO Sale during
          the time periods referred to in Section 4.2(c), the Transferring ROFO Stockholder may, during the one hundred and fifty (150) days immediately thereafter (which period may be extended upon agreement by the Transferring ROFO Stockholder
          and the GSO Majority) (the “ROFO Transfer Period”), elect to Transfer (without limiting Section 5.2), all of the ROFO Shares that are the subject of the ROFO Notice to an independent third party; provided that such ROFO Shares may not be sold for less than one hundred and one percent (101%) of the highest Desired Price per Share contained in a ROFO Response (as modified) made by the GSO Stockholders for such
          ROFO Shares.  If the Transferring ROFO Stockholder does not Transfer all of the ROFO Shares or such Transfer is not consummated within the ROFO Transfer Period, the rights provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and the ROFO Shares shall
          not be Transferred to any Person unless first re-offered to the GSO Stockholders in accordance with this Section 4.2.

       

      (e)        At the closing of any Transfer pursuant to this Section 4.2, the Transferring ROFO Stockholder shall deliver
          to each GSO Stockholder that is purchasing ROFO Shares an assignment agreement and such other appropriate transfer instruments Transferring all of the applicable ROFO Shares to such GSO Stockholder, duly executed, free and clear of any liens or
          other encumbrances, against delivery of the purchase price therefor.

       

      (f)          For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 4.2 shall not apply to any Transfers in a
          Drag-Along Transaction or, subject to the second parenthetical in Section 4.2(d), Tag-Along Transaction.

       

      
        20

        
          

      

      Section 4.3           Involuntary Transfers.

       

      (a)        Without limiting anything contained in this Agreement, upon the Involuntary Transfer of Equity Securities held by any
          Stockholder, such Stockholder shall promptly (but in no event later than two (2) days after such Stockholder becomes aware of any such Involuntary Transfer) furnish written notice to the Company indicating that the Involuntary Transfer has
          occurred, specifying the name of the Involuntary Transferee and giving a detailed description of the circumstances giving rise to and the legal basis for the Involuntary Transfer.  For the avoidance of doubt, the GSO Stockholders’ rights pursuant
          to Section 4.2 and (except in connection with the Company’s exercise of its rights pursuant to Sections 4.3(b) and (c)) the Stockholders’ rights pursuant to Section 5.2 shall apply to any Involuntary Transfer to
          the same extent as they would apply to any other Transfer.

       

      (b)         In the event that the GSO Stockholders’ decline to exercise their rights pursuant to Section 4.2 in
          connection with any Involuntary Transfer, then the Company, at the Board’s discretion, shall have the same rights held by the GSO Stockholders’ that are specified in Section 4.2 with respect to such Involuntary Transfer as if the
          Involuntary Transfer had been a proposed voluntary Transfer by a Stockholder except that (i) the Company’s rights under this Section 4.3 shall not terminate if the GSO Stockholders fail to collectively own the number of Company Common
          Shares set forth in Section 4.2(a), (ii) the time periods shall run from the date of receipt by the Company of actual notice of the Involuntary Transfer, (iii) such rights shall be exercised by delivery of the ROFO Response to the
          Involuntary Transferee rather than the Stockholder who suffered or will suffer the Involuntary Transfer, and (iv) the per share purchase price for the ROFO Shares shall be negotiated between the Involuntary Transferee and the Company; provided
          that, if such parties fail to enter into a definitive agreement within twenty (20) Business Days after the date of receipt by the Company of actual notice of the Involuntary Transfer, the per share purchase price of the ROFO Shares shall be
          determined in accordance with Section 4.2(c).

       

      (c)          If the Company and the Involuntary Transferee fail to agree upon the per share purchase price of the ROFO Shares in
          accordance with Section 4.2(b), then the Company shall purchase the ROFO Shares at a per share purchase price equal to the Fair Value (as hereinafter defined) thereof.  The Fair Value of the ROFO Shares shall be determined by an
          independent appraiser reasonably and in good faith selected by the Company, which shall be a nationally recognized investment banking firm or nationally recognized expert experienced in the valuation of corporations engaged in the business
          conducted by the Company and its Subsidiaries.  The appraiser shall conduct its determination of the Fair Value of the ROFO Shares as promptly as reasonably practicable.  Such determination shall be final and binding on the Involuntary Transferee
          and the Company.  The Involuntary Transferee shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of the appraiser.  For purposes of this Section 4.3(c), the “Fair Value” of the Transferred Shares means the per share fair market value of
          such Transferred Shares determined in accordance with this Section 4.3(c) based upon all considerations that the appraisers reasonably determine to be relevant.

        ADDITIONAL TRANSFER PROVISIONS; PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

       

      

      Section 5.1           Drag-Along Right.

       

      (a)         After the Closing Date, if the Stockholder Majority elect to effect a Company Sale, then such Stockholder Majority
          (the Stockholder Majority in its capacity as such under this Section 5.1(a), the “Drag-Along Representative”) may (but shall not have an obligation to) notify the other Stockholders not included in such Stockholder Majority (each a
          “Drag-Along Party”) in writing (the “Drag-Along Notice”) at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the consummation of such Company Sale (the “Drag-Along Transaction”).  The Drag-Along Notice shall specify the identity of
          the prospective parties involved in the Drag-Along Transaction, a reasonable summary of the material terms and conditions of the Drag-Along Transaction and a copy of any form of agreement proposed to be executed in connection therewith (but only
          if available at the time the Drag-Along Notice is delivered).  If the Drag-Along Representative delivers such Drag-Along Notice: (A) the Drag-Along Party shall be deemed to approve the proposed Drag-Along Transaction, (B) to the extent any vote
          or consent to the Drag-Along Transaction is required, the Drag-Along Party shall vote for and consent to such Drag-Along Transaction (including on behalf of all of its Equity Securities and on behalf of all Equity Securities with respect to which
          the Drag-Along Party has the power to direct the voting thereof) and shall waive any dissenter’s rights, appraisal rights or similar rights which the Drag-Along Party may have in connection therewith, (C) no Drag-Along Party shall raise any
          objections to the proposed Drag-Along Transaction, (D) the Drag-Along Party shall agree to sell its Drag-Along Pro Rata Share of each class of Equity Securities being sold in such Drag-Along Transaction
          (or such lesser number of Equity Securities if so designated by the Drag-Along Representative in the Drag-Along Notice) on the same terms and conditions as the Stockholder Majority, subject to clause (F) below and Section 5.1, (E)
          the Drag-Along Party shall execute all documents reasonably required to effectuate such Drag-Along Transaction, as determined by the Drag-Along Representative in good faith, (F) the Drag-Along Party shall be obligated to provide the same
          representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, indemnities (on a pro rata basis (but not a joint and several basis); provided that the aggregate
          liability (including any indemnification obligation) of the Drag-Along Party in the Drag-Along Transaction shall not exceed the consideration received by the Drag-Along Party for the sale of its Equity Securities in such transaction, other than
          in the case of fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct on the part of the Drag-Along Party) and other obligations that the Drag-Along Representative agrees to provide in connection with such Drag-Along Transaction (other than
          any such obligations that relate specifically to a particular holder of Equity Securities, such as indemnification with respect to representations and warranties given by such holder regarding such holder’s title to and ownership of such Person’s
          Equity Securities, which shall be solely the responsibility of such holder), and (G) each Drag-Along Party shall take all other actions reasonably necessary or desirable, as reasonably determined by the Drag-Along Representative, to cause the
          consummation of such Drag-Along Transaction on the terms proposed by the Drag-Along Representative (including, in connection with a Drag-Along Transaction involving a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its
          Subsidiaries, causing the Company and its Subsidiaries to enter into such agreements and arrangements with the applicable third party purchaser of such assets in connection with such Company Sale in a form and on terms and conditions reasonably
          acceptable to the Drag-Along Representative consistent with the foregoing).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to any Drag-Along Party that is an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, no Drag-Along Party shall be
          required to execute agreements in connection with any Drag-Along Transaction containing non-competition, non-solicitation, no-hire and/or and confidentiality provisions which are more restrictive than those entered into by the Stockholders
          constituting the Stockholder Majority exercising its rights under this Section 5.1; provided that with respect to any Drag-Along Party that is an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, such Drag-Along Party shall only
          be required to execute agreements in connection with any Drag-Along Transaction containing non-competition, non-solicitation, no-hire and/or and confidentiality provisions to the extent that such provisions are reasonable and customary, in light
          of the circumstances of the Drag-Along Transaction.  As used herein, “Drag-Along Pro Rata Share” of the Drag-Along Party means the number derived by multiplying (x) the total number of
          Equity Securities of such class held by the Drag-Along Party, by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Equity Securities of such class to be sold by the Stockholder Majority
          triggering this Section 5.1 in the Drag-Along Transaction and the denominator of which is the total number of the then outstanding Equity Securities of such class held by such Stockholder Majority.

       

      
        22

        
          

      

      (b)        The obligations of the Drag-Along Party with respect to the proposed Drag-Along Transaction are subject to the
          condition that upon the consummation of the Drag-Along Transaction, the Drag-Along Party, to the extent entitled thereto based on the Equity Securities held thereby, shall receive the same form of consideration as the Stockholder Majority
          triggering this Section 5.1 (less any applicable taxes or withholding obligations).

       

      (c)         If requested by the Drag-Along Representative, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the consummation of a
          Drag-Along Transaction, the Drag-Along Parties shall deliver to the Company to hold in escrow pending transfer of the consideration therefor, the duly endorsed certificate or certificates representing the Equity Securities held by the Drag-Along
          Party to be sold, and a stock power and limited power-of-attorney authorizing the Drag-Along Representative to take all actions reasonably necessary to sell or otherwise dispose of such Equity Securities.  In the event that a Drag-Along Party
          should fail to deliver such Equity Securities (or the certificates evidencing such Equity Securities), the Company shall cause the books and records of the Company to show that such Equity Securities are bound by the provisions of this Section
            5.1 and that such Equity Securities may be Transferred to the purchaser in such Drag-Along Transaction.

       

      (d)          If a proposed Drag-Along Transaction is consummated, then each Drag-Along Party shall bear its pro rata share (based upon the relative aggregate amounts of consideration received by such Drag-Along Party as compared to the aggregate amounts received by the other Stockholders participating in such
          Drag-Along Transaction) of all costs of sale of the Equity Securities pursuant to such Drag-Along Transaction to the extent such costs are not otherwise paid by the Company or the acquiring party.  Costs incurred by any Drag-Along Party in
          connection with a Drag-Along Transaction shall not be considered costs of the Drag-Along Transaction hereunder.

       

      (e)          Whenever more than one (1) class of Equity Securities is outstanding, the Board shall make all determinations of pro rata shares rights and obligations under this Section 5.1 reasonably and in good faith.

       

      
        23

        
          

      

      (f)         Without limiting anything contained in this Agreement (including this Section 5.1), (i) any Company Sale may
          be structured as an auction and may be initiated by the delivery to the Company of a written notice that the Stockholder Majority triggering this Section 5.1 has elected to initiate an auction sale procedure, (ii) the Drag-Along
          Representative, on behalf of such Stockholder Majority, shall be entitled to take all steps reasonably necessary to carry out an auction of the Company, including selecting an investment bank, providing confidential information, selecting the
          winning bidder and negotiating the requisite documentation, and (iii) the Company and each Stockholder (whether a Drag-Along Party or otherwise) shall provide reasonable assistance with respect to these actions as reasonably requested by the
          Drag-Along Representative in connection therewith.

       

      (g)         Each Stockholder acknowledges that even if a Drag-Along Notice has been given, none of the Stockholder Majority
          triggering this Section 5.1, the Drag-Along Representative or the Company shall have any obligation to consummate any Drag-Along Transaction or shall have any liability to any Stockholder arising from, relating to or in connection with
          the pursuit, consummation, postponement, abandonment or terms and conditions of any such Drag-Along Transaction, except to the extent of any failure to comply with any express provision of this Section 5.1.

       

      Section 5.2           Tag-Along Right.

       

      (a)         Subject to and without limiting Section 5.1, after the Closing Date, in the event any Stockholder(s) (each in
          its capacity as such, a “Tag-Along Transferor”), individually or together with other Stockholders, propose to Transfer, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, Equity Securities constituting, in the aggregate, ten
          percent (10%) or more of the then issued and outstanding Equity Securities of the Company (other than pursuant to an Exempted Transfer) (the “Tag-Along Transaction”), such Tag-Along Transferor shall deliver a written notice (the “Tag-Along
            Notice”) to each other Stockholder that holds a class of Equity Securities proposed to be sold in such Tag-Along Transaction (each, in respect of such class, a “Tag-Along Offeree”) at least twenty (20) days prior to consummating such
          Tag-Along Transaction, specifying the identity of the prospective Transferee(s), the number of the Tag-Along Transferor’s Equity Securities of such class to be Transferred (with respect to a particular class, the “Tag-Along Securities”), a
          summary in reasonable detail of the material terms and conditions of the Transfer and a copy of any form of agreement proposed to be executed in connection therewith (if available at the time the Tag-Along Notice is delivered).  Each Tag-Along
          Offeree may elect to participate in the contemplated Transfer on the same terms and conditions applicable to such class by delivering written notice to the Tag-Along Transferor within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Tag-Along Notice,
          which notice shall specify the number of Equity Securities of the affected class that such Tag-Along Offeree desires to include in such proposed Transfer; provided that such number of Equity
          Securities shall not exceed the Tag-Along Pro Rata Share for such class.  If the Tag-Along Offerees fail to elect to include in a Tag-Along Transaction all of their Tag‐Along Pro Rata Share, then the other Tag-Along Offerees may elect to increase
          (on a pro rata basis) their respective Tag-Along Pro Rata Share by the portion of the Tag-Along Offerees’ Tag-Along Pro Rata Share that they elected not to include, within five (5) Business Days following
          the expiration of such fifteen (15)-day period after delivery of the Tag‐Along Notice (the “Tag Offer Period”).  If any Tag-Along Offeree does not give such notice prior to the expiration of the Tag Offer Period, then the Tag-Along
          Transferor may Transfer the Tag-Along Securities to any Person on terms and conditions that are not materially more favorable to the Tag‐Along Transferor than those set forth in the Tag-Along Notice at any time within one hundred and fifty (150)
          days after expiration of the Tag Offer Period (provided that if any governmental or other third party approval is required with respect to such Transfer, then such period shall be extended until a
          reasonable time after such approvals are obtained).  Any Tag-Along Securities not Transferred by the Tag-Along Transferor during such one hundred and fifty (150)-day period (as such period may be extended pursuant to the immediately preceding
          sentence) shall again be subject to the provisions of this Section 5.2 prior to any subsequent Transfer.  As used herein, “Tag-Along Pro Rata Share” of a Tag-Along Offeree means the number derived by multiplying (i) the total number of Equity Securities of such class then held by such Tag-Along Offeree, by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of
          Equity Securities of such class included in the Tag-Along Securities, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Equity Securities of such class then held by all of the Tag-Along Transferor(s).

      (b)        To the extent that one (1) or more Tag-Along Offerees exercise their right of participation pursuant to Section
            5.2(a), then, at the Tag-Along Transferor(s) option, either (i) the number of Equity Securities that the Tag-Along Transferor(s) and each other participating Tag‐Along Offeree may sell in the transaction in respect of the applicable class
          shall be reduced on a pro rata basis (based on the relative number of Equity Securities of the applicable class(es) that each such Person validly elects to sell in such transaction) to a number equal to
          the overall number of Equity Securities of the applicable class(es) to be sold to the prospective purchaser, or (ii) the aggregate number of Equity Securities of the applicable class(es) to be sold in the transaction shall be increased to
          accommodate the Equity Securities of the applicable class(es) of those participating Tag-Along Offerees pursuant to this Section 5.2.

       

      (c)         The Tag-Along Transferor shall not Transfer any Tag-Along Securities to any prospective Transferee if such
          prospective Transferee declines to purchase Equity Securities from participating Tag-Along Offerees, unless the Tag-Along Transferor acquires from each such participating Tag-Along Offeree (on the terms set forth in the Tag-Along Notice) its pro rata number of Equity Securities of the applicable class (or, if less, the number of Equity Securities of such class that such Tag-Along Offeree requested to Transfer to such Transferee) as such Tag‐Along
          Offeree would have been entitled to sell in such transaction pursuant to Section 5.2 at the same price and/or substantially the same terms and conditions as would be applicable in a direct sale of such Equity Securities to the proposed
          Transferee pursuant to Section 5.2.

       

      (d)          In connection with any transaction pursuant to this Section 5.2: (i) each Stockholder shall be deemed to
          approve the proposed transaction, (ii) to the extent any vote or consent to such transaction is required, each Stockholder shall vote for and consent to such transaction (including on behalf of all of its Equity Securities and on behalf of all
          Equity Securities with respect to which such Stockholder has the power to direct the voting) and shall waive any dissenter’s rights, appraisal rights or similar rights which such Stockholder may have in connection therewith, (iii) no Stockholder
          shall raise any objections to the proposed transaction, (iv) each participating Stockholder shall agree to sell its participating Equity Securities on the same terms and conditions as the Tag-Along Transferor, subject to clause (vi) below
          and Section 5.2(e), (v) each participating Stockholder shall execute all documents reasonably required to effectuate such transaction, as reasonably determined by the Tag-Along Transferor in good faith, (vi) each participating Stockholder
          shall be obligated to provide the same representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, indemnities (on a pro rata basis based on the applicable class (but not on a joint and several basis); provided
          that the aggregate liability (including any indemnification obligation) of a Tag-Along Offeree in the Tag-Along Transaction shall not exceed the consideration received by such Tag-Along Offeree for the sale of its Equity Securities in such
          transaction, other than in the case of fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct on the part of the Tag-Along Offeree) and other obligations that the Tag-Along Transferor agrees to provide in connection with such transaction
          (other than any such obligations that relate specifically to a particular holder of Equity Securities, such as indemnification with respect to representations and warranties given by such holder regarding such holder’s title to and ownership of
          such Person’s Equity Securities, which shall be the sole responsibility of such holder), and (vii) each Tag-Along Offeree that participates in a Tag-Along Transaction shall take all other actions reasonably necessary or desirable, as reasonably
          determined by the Tag-Along Transferor in good faith, to cause the consummation of such Tag-Along Transaction on the terms proposed by the Tag-Along Transferor.

       

      
        25

        
          

      

      (e)         Upon the consummation of the Tag-Along Transaction, the Tag-Along Offeree, to the extent entitled thereto based on
          the Equity Securities held by it, shall receive the same form of consideration as the Tag-Along Transferor (less any applicable taxes or withholding obligations).

       

      (f)         If requested by the Tag-Along Transferor, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the consummation of a Tag-Along
          Transaction, the Tag-Along Offerees participating in such Tag-Along Transaction shall deliver to the Company to hold in escrow pending transfer of the consideration therefor, the duly endorsed certificate or certificates representing the Equity
          Securities held by such Tag-Along Offerees to be sold, and a stock power and limited power-of-attorney authorizing the Tag-Along Transferor to take all actions reasonably necessary to sell or otherwise dispose of such Equity Securities.

       

      (g)          Each Stockholder shall pay its own costs of any sale and a pro rata share
          (based on the relative consideration to be received by such Stockholder in respect of the Equity Securities to be sold in connection with a Tag-Along Transaction) of the expenses incurred by the Tag-Along Transferor and the Company for the
          benefit of the Tag-Along Transferors and the Tag-Along Offerees as a group in connection with such Tag-Along Transaction to the extent such costs are not otherwise paid by the acquiring party.

       

      (h)        The restrictions set forth in this Section 5.2 shall not apply with respect to any Transfer of Equity
          Securities by a Stockholder to its Permitted Affiliates, or any Transfer to the GSO Stockholders pursuant to Section 4.2 (“Exempted Transfer”).

       

      (i)          Whenever more than one class of Equity Securities is outstanding, the Board shall make all determinations of pro rata shares, rights and obligations under this Section 5.2 reasonably and in good faith.

       

      (j)          Each Stockholder acknowledges that even if a Tag-Along Notice has been given, neither the Tag-Along Transferor(s)
          nor the Company shall have any obligation to consummate any Tag-Along Transaction or shall have any liability to any Stockholder arising from, relating to or in connection with the pursuit, consummation, postponement, abandonment or terms and
          conditions of any such Tag-Along Transaction, except to the extent of failure to comply with any express provision of this Section 5.2 and such Tag-Along Transaction otherwise occurs.

       

      
        26

        
          

      

      (k)          Each Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that it shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section
          3.2 of the Management Stockholders Agreement which are applicable to Tag-Along Transferors (as defined in the Management Stockholders Agreement).

       

      Section 5.3           Issuances of Equity Securities; Preemptive Right.

       

      (a)         Issuances of Equity Securities.  Subject to Section 2.6, the Board may authorize the Company to create, authorize or issue any Equity Security, including any security convertible into or exchangeable for any Equity Security, including, subject to the Charter and Applicable Law, any increase in the
            authorized number of (or issuance of a new class of) Equity Securities.  From and after the date of this Agreement, as a condition to any issuance of new Equity Securities to any Person, the Person subscribing to such Equity Securities
          shall enter into either, at the election of the Board, (i) a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto or (ii) an agreement with the Company and the Stockholders containing, at minimum, provisions
          substantially the same as the provisions of Section 2.1(d), Section 2.5, Article III, Article IV, Article V, Article VII and Article VIII (mutatis mutandis),
          as well as such other provisions determined by the Board with the consent of the GSO Majority.

       

      (b)          Preemptive Rights.

       

      (i)          Subject to the limitations below in this Section 5.3(b), the Company shall not authorize,
          issue, sell or grant, or cause or permit to be authorized, issued, sold or granted, any new Equity Securities after the Closing Date (any such Equity Security, an “Additional Security”) unless the Company shall have first offered such
          Additional Securities to each Stockholder who (collectively with their Affiliates) owns greater than five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding
          Equity Securities at such time (each such Stockholder, a “Preemptive Right Holder”) in accordance with Section 5.3(b)(ii); provided, that the provisions of this Section 5.3(b), shall not apply to any Preemptive
          Right Excluded Issuance.

       

      (ii)        In the event that the Company proposes to issue any Additional Securities (other than any
          Preemptive Rights Excluded Issuance) (a “Proposed Issuance”), the Company shall deliver a notice at least thirty (30) days prior to such Proposed Issuance (the “Preemptive Notice”) to each of the Preemptive Right Holders setting
          forth (A) the identity of the proposed purchaser, if known (the “Proposed Purchaser”), (B) the Additional Securities proposed to be issued, (C) the period of time within which the Preemptive Right must be exercised under Section
            5.3(b)(iii), which shall be no less than ten (10) Business Days from such Preemptive Right Holder’s receipt of the Preemptive Notice (the “Acceptance Period”) and (D) the price and the material terms and conditions of the Proposed
          Issuance and a copy of any form of agreement proposed to be executed in connection therewith.  Subject to Section 5.3(b)(iii), each Preemptive Right Holder shall have the right (the “Preemptive Right”), exercisable as hereinafter
          provided, to participate in such issuance of Additional Securities by purchasing up to an amount of each class of such Additional Securities proposed to be issued to the Proposed Purchaser equal to the aggregate amount of such class of Additional
          Securities multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Equity Securities held by such Preemptive Rights Holder
          and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Equity Securities held by all Stockholders as of such date (the “Proportionate Share”), such purchase to be at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as the
          Proposed Issuance; provided that any Preemptive Right Holder that wishes to exercise a portion, but not all, of its Preemptive Rights must exercise the same percentage of such rights with respect to each class of Additional Securities
          being offered.  The Preemptive Right Holders that exercise their respective options to purchase their full Proportionate Share allotment of such Additional Securities shall have a right of over-allotment (the “Over-Allotment Right”) such
          that if any Preemptive Right Holder fails to exercise its rights to purchase its full Proportionate Share allotment of such Additional Securities, such Preemptive Right Holder with Over-Allotment Rights may purchase all or any portion of such
          remaining Additional Securities pro rata based on the then relative Proportionate Shares (exclusive of all such non-exercising Preemptive Right Holders) of such Preemptive Right Holders with
          Over-Allotment Rights.

       

      
        27

        
          

      

      (iii)       The Preemptive Rights shall be exercisable by delivery of notice to such effect by an exercising
          Preemptive Right Holder to the Company within the Acceptance Period set forth in the Preemptive Notice.  A Preemptive Right Holder’s failure to respond to the Company by the expiration of the Acceptance Period shall be regarded as a rejection of
          such Preemptive Right Holder’s right to exercise its Preemptive Right.  The Company shall notify all exercising Preemptive Right Holders of any Over-Allotment Right within five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the Acceptance Period. 
          Preemptive Right Holders exercising their respective Over-Allotment Right as set forth in Section 5.3(b)(ii) shall exercise such right by delivering notice to such effect to the Company within ten (10) days after the expiration of the
          Acceptance Period.  The closing of any purchase by a Preemptive Right Holder under this Section 5.3(b) shall be held at such time and place upon which the parties to the transaction may reasonably agree.  At such closing, each
          participating Preemptive Right Holder shall deliver by certified bank check or wire transfer, payment in full for such Additional Securities and all parties to the transaction shall execute such additional documents as are otherwise deemed
          reasonably necessary or appropriate by the Company and/or the Board.  At such closing, the Company may issue and sell to the Proposed Purchaser such portion of the Additional Securities as have not been purchased by the Preemptive Right Holders
          pursuant to the exercise of their respective Preemptive Rights and Over-Allotment Rights only at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Preemptive Notice; provided that if the Company has not sold such
          Additional Securities to the Proposed Purchaser within one hundred fifty (150) days following the delivery of the Preemptive Notice, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any Additional Securities to the Proposed Purchaser without first
          complying again with this Section 5.3(b).

       

      (iv)       The Company, at the advice of its legal counsel, may comply with any applicable securities laws as
          a condition to issuing any Additional Securities in connection with the exercise by a Preemptive Right Holder of its Preemptive Right (including its Over-Allotment Right), and shall not be in violation of the provisions hereof by reason of such
          compliance and, to the extent necessary or advisable in complying with such laws, the Company may limit or modify any offering or issuance to any Preemptive Right Holder pursuant to its Preemptive Right (including its Over-Allotment Right); provided
          that the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to so comply without any such limitation or modification; provided further that the Company shall not be required to register any such offering under the Securities Act or
          any other foreign, federal or state securities laws or effect any similar filing or registration.

       

      
        28

        
          

      

      (v)          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3(b), if the Board determines
          in good faith that the delay caused by accommodating the Preemptive Rights or Over-Allotment Rights of the Preemptive Right Holders would have, or would reasonably be expected to have, an adverse effect on the Company, then the Board shall be
          permitted to authorize and cause the Company to issue Additional Securities to any Person (such Person, the “Initial Purchaser”) without first complying with this Section 5.3(b); provided that the Company shall (A) within
          sixty (60) days of the consummation of such issuance, offer each Preemptive Right Holder the opportunity to purchase a portion of such Additional Securities, in a manner and on terms that give effect to the ability such Preemptive Right Holder
          would otherwise have had to acquire a portion of such Additional Securities pursuant to the exercise of such Preemptive Right Holder’s Preemptive Right and (if applicable) Over-Allotment Right, and (B) provide as a condition to any such issuance
          in the subscription (or similar) agreement with the Initial Purchaser a provision (I) permitting the Company to repurchase such Additional Securities in an amount necessary to satisfy the elections made by the participating Preemptive Right
          Holders in accordance with this Section 5.3(b) or (II) permitting the participating Preemptive Right Holders to purchase directly from the Initial Purchaser such Additional Securities in an amount necessary to satisfy the elections made
          by the participating Preemptive Right Holders in accordance with this Section 5.3(b).  The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the intent of this paragraph is to enable each Preemptive Right Holder to effectively exercise its rights
          under the provisions of this Section 5.3(b) with respect to any issuance of Additional Securities pursuant to this Section 5.3(b)(v).

       

      (vi)         Each Stockholder may assign its Preemptive Rights and Over-Allotment Rights pursuant to this Section
            5.3(b) to any Affiliate (including any Permitted Affiliate).

       

      ARTICLE VI.

        

        IPO; REGISTRATION RIGHTS

       

      Section 6.1           IPO.  For so long as the GSO Stockholders own, in the aggregate, the number of Company Common
        Shares greater than or equal to forty percent (40%) of
        the issued and outstanding Company Common Shares, the GSO Majority shall (and at any time the Board shall) have the right to cause an IPO.  To the extent the GSO Majority or the Board elects to cause an IPO, each Stockholder shall agree, if requested by the GSO Majority or the Board in connection with the IPO, to convert or exchange its Equity Securities into other equity securities of the Company or equity securities of any other
          entity upon the same terms and conditions as the GSO Stockholders and take such other actions and enter into and modify such agreements reasonably necessary in order to facilitate the IPO.  The Board shall have the right to select, or
        delegate the selection of, any underwriter(s) in connection with any IPO pursuant to this Section 6.1 and shall have sole control over any such IPO process.

       

      
        29

        
          

      

      Section 6.2           Demand Registration Rights; Demand Shelf Takedowns.

       

      (a)         Right to Demand.  At any time and from time to time after one hundred eighty (180) days following the
          consummation of an IPO, the Demand Holders, may make a written request (a “Request Notice”), which Request Notice will specify the aggregate number of Registrable Shares to be registered and will also specify the intended methods of
          disposition thereof, to the Company for registration with the SEC under and in accordance with the provisions of the 1933 Act of the offer and sale of all or part of the Registrable Shares held by such Demand Holder (a “Demand Registration”). 
          A registration pursuant to this Section 6.2 will be on such appropriate form of the SEC as shall be selected by the Demand Holder and be reasonably acceptable to the Company and as shall permit the intended method or methods of
          distribution specified by the Demand Holder, including a distribution to, and resale by, the partners or Affiliates of the Demand Holder.  Upon receipt by the Company of a Request Notice to effect a Demand Registration, the Company shall, within
          five (5) Business Days after the receipt of the Request Notice, notify each other Demand Holder of such request and such other Demand Holder(s) shall have the option to include its (or their respective) Registrable Shares in such Demand
          Registration pursuant and subject to this Section 6.2.  The Company shall not be obligated to maintain a registration statement pursuant to a Demand Registration effective for more than (i) one hundred and eighty (180) days (other than in
          the case of a Shelf Registration) or (ii) such shorter period (or, in the case of a Shelf Registration, such period) when all of the Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement have been sold pursuant thereto (the “Effectiveness
            Period”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to effect more than one (1) Demand Registration in any ninety (90)-day period following an Effectiveness Period or such longer period not to exceed one hundred and
          eighty (180) days as requested by an underwriter pursuant to Section 6.10.  Upon receipt of any such Request Notice, the Company will deliver any notices required by this Section 6.2 and Section 6.3 and thereupon the
          Company will, subject to Section 6.2(c) and Section 6.5, use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) effect the prompt registration under the 1933 Act of the Registrable Shares which the Company has been so requested to register by
          the Demand Holder(s) as contained in the Request Notice and (B) include all other Registrable Shares which the Company has been requested to register by the Piggyback Holders and Registrable Shares held by others, all to the extent required to
          permit the disposition of the Registrable Shares so to be registered in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition of each seller of such Registrable Shares.

       

      (b)         Number of Demand Registrations.  Subject to Section 6.2(a), each of the Demand Holders shall have
          three (3) rights to effect a Demand Registration and Piggyback Underwritten Offering(s), as provided in Section 6.2(a) and Section 6.3.  In connection with a Demand Registration by more than one (1) Demand Holder, holder(s) of a
          majority of the Company Common Shares held by the Demand Holders shall act as their representative (the “DH Representative”) in connection with such Demand Registration and the Company shall only be obligated to communicate with such DH
          Representative in connection with such Demand Registration.  Such Holders shall give the DH Representative any and all necessary powers of attorney needed for the DH Representative to act on their behalf.

      

      

      
        30

        
          

      

      (c)         Revocation.  Holders of a majority in number of the Registrable Shares held by the Demand Holders to be
          included in a registration statement pursuant to this Section 6.2, may, at any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating to such Demand Registration, acting through their DH Representative (if applicable),
          revoke such request by providing a written notice thereof to the Company (the “Revoking Holders”) and the aborted registration shall not be deemed to be a Demand Registration for purposes of Section 6.2 (other than the first
          sentence of Section 6.2(b)).  No such Revoking Holder shall be required to reimburse the Company for any of its expenses incurred in connection with such attempted registration.  Neither the Company nor any of the Demand Holders shall
          have any obligation to keep any Holder informed as to the status or expected timing of the launch of any offering.

       

      (d)         Effective Registration.  A registration will not count as a Demand Registration: (i) if a Demand Holder
          determines in its reasonable and good faith judgment to withdraw a registration in accordance with Section 6.2(c) following effectiveness due to a material adverse change in the Company, (ii) if such Demand Registration is interfered with
          by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court for any reason (other than due to the actions of a Demand Holder) and the Company fails to promptly have such stop order, injunction or
          other order or requirement removed, withdrawn or resolved to the Demand Holder’s reasonable satisfaction, (iii) the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement or purchase agreement entered into in connection with the Demand
          Registration relating to any such demand are not satisfied, or (iv) such Demand Registration is fully withdrawn pursuant to the first proviso to Section 6.11.

       

      (e)          Assignability of Demand Registration Rights.  The rights offered to a Demand Holder pursuant to this Section

            6.2 are not assignable.

       

      (f)          Shelf Registration Statement Takedown.  The Demand Holders shall have the right to demand a Demand
          Registration in the form of a takedown of Registrable Shares, in which case the last two sentences of Section 6.3(b) shall apply.

       

      
        31

        
          

      

      
        Section 6.3           Piggyback Rights.

      

       

        

      (a)         Right to Piggyback on Offering of Common Shares.  Subject to Section 6.3(c) and Section 6.5,
          if at any time or from time to time following an IPO, the Company proposes to file a registration statement (other than (i) on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any similar successor forms or another form used for a purpose similar to the intended use for
          such forms or (ii) a Shelf Registration Statement), for the sale of Company Common Shares for its own account, or for the benefit of the holders of its Company Common Shares (including pursuant to Section 6.2) in an underwritten or other
          registered public offering (a “Piggyback Underwritten Offering”), then as soon as reasonably practicable, but not less than seven (7) Business Days prior to the filing of (A) any preliminary prospectus supplement relating to such Piggyback
          Underwritten Offering pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act, (B) any prospectus supplement relating to such Piggyback Underwritten Offering pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act (if no preliminary prospectus supplement is used), other
          than, in each case of clause (A) or (B), any preliminary prospectus supplement or prospectus supplement relating to a registration statement for which notice was previously given, or (C) such registration statement, as the case
          may be, the Company shall give written notice of such proposed Piggyback Underwritten Offering to each Holder owning greater than or equal to ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding Equity Securities (each, a “Piggyback Holder”),
          and such notice shall offer such Piggyback Holders the opportunity to include in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering such number of Registrable Shares as each such Piggyback Holder may request, up to a maximum amount equal to the total number of
          Registrable Shares included in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering multiplied by the fraction the numerator of which is the total number of shares
          of Registrable Shares held by such Piggyback Holder and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Registrable Shares held by all participating Holders.  Each such Piggyback Holder shall have five (5) Business Days after receiving
          such notice to request in writing to the Company inclusion of Registrable Shares in the Piggyback Underwritten Offering.  Upon receipt of any such request for inclusion from any such Piggyback Holder received within the specified time, the
          Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration in any registration statement described in this Section 6.3(a) of any Registrable Shares requested to be included on the terms set forth in this Article VI. 
          If no request for inclusion from a Piggyback Holder is received within the specified time, such Piggyback Holder shall have no further right to participate in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering.  Prior to the launch of any Piggyback
          Underwritten Offering, any Piggyback Holder shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of its Registrable Shares in any registration statement pursuant to this Section 6.3(a) by giving written notice to the Company, which
          withdrawal shall be irrevocable and, following which withdrawal, such Holder shall no longer have any right to include Registrable Shares in the Piggyback Underwritten Offering as to which such withdrawal was made.  No registration of Registrable
          Shares effected under this Section 6.3(a) shall relieve the Company of its obligations to effect any registration upon demand under Section 6.2(a), in accordance with and subject to its terms.

       

      
        32

        
          

      

      (b)          Right to Piggyback on Shelf Registration.  Subject to Section 6.3(c) and Section 6.5, if at
          any time or from time to time following an IPO, the Company files a shelf registration statement for a delayed or continuous offering pursuant to Rule 415 under the 1933 Act (such shelf registration, a “Shelf Registration,” and such
          registration statement, a “Shelf Registration Statement”), then the Company shall give each Piggyback Holder seven (7) Business Days’ notice prior to filing a Shelf Registration Statement and, upon the written request of any such Piggyback
          Holder, received by the Company within five (5) Business Days of such notice, the Company shall include in such Shelf Registration Statement a number of Company Common Shares equal to the aggregate number of Registrable Shares requested to be
          included (provided that for each Piggyback Holder such amount shall be up to a maximum amount equal to the total number of Registrable Shares included in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering multiplied by the fraction the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Registrable Shares held by such Piggyback Holder and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Registrable Shares
          held by all participating Holders) (and to the extent permitted, without naming any requesting Stockholder as a selling stockholder and including only a generic description of the Holder of such securities) (the “Undesignated Registrable
            Shares”).  Neither the Company nor any Holder shall be required to give notice to any other Holder in connection with a filing related to a Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 6.3(b) unless such Holder
          provided such notice to the Company pursuant to this Section 6.3(b) and requested that its Undesignated Registrable Shares be included in the Shelf Registration Statement related to such filing.  Upon receipt of any such request for
          inclusion from such Piggyback Holder received within the specified time, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration in any registration statement described in this Section 6.3(b) of any Registrable
          Shares requested to be included on the terms set forth in this Agreement.  If no request for inclusion from a Piggyback Holder is received within the specified time, such Piggyback Holder shall have no further right to participate in such Shelf
          Registration.  Any Shelf Registration in which any of the Piggyback Holders participate shall be called a “Piggyback Shelf Registration”.  Prior to the launch of any Shelf Registration, any Piggyback Holder shall have the right to withdraw
          its request for inclusion of its Registrable Shares in any registration statement pursuant to this Section 6.3(b) by giving written notice to the Company, which withdrawal shall be irrevocable and, following which withdrawal, such
          Piggyback Holder shall no longer have any right to include Registrable Shares in the Piggyback Shelf Registration as to which such withdrawal was made.  No registration of Registrable Shares effected under this Section 6.3 shall relieve
          the Company of its obligations to effect any registration upon demand under Section 6.2, in accordance with and subject to its terms.  If the Company or any Demand Holder pursuant to Section 6.2 wants to sell Registrable Shares
          pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement, then such party shall provide each Piggyback Holder (and the Company, in the event such party is a holder) seven (7) Business Days’ notice (in connection with any sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to
          a Shelf Registration Statement that includes a customary “road show” or other substantial marketing effort by the Company and the underwriters (a “Marketed Shelf Offering”)) or five (5) Business Days’ notice (in connection with any sale of
          Registrable Shares pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement that is not structured as a Marketed Shelf Offering) and, upon the written request of any Piggyback Holder, received by the Company or the applicable initiating Demand Holder within
          five (5) Business Days of such notice in connection with a Marketed Shelf Offering, or three (3) Business Days of such notice (in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement offering that is not structured as a Marketed Shelf Offering), the
          Company or the applicable initiating Demand Holder shall include a number of Company Common Shares in such sale equal to the aggregate number of Registrable Shares requested to be included.

       

      (c)          Delay or Abandonment of Registration or Offering.  The Company shall have the right to delay, terminate or
          withdraw any Piggyback Shelf Registration or Piggyback Underwritten Offering prior to the effectiveness of such registration or the completion of such offering whether or not any Piggyback Holder has elected to include Registrable Shares in such
          registration.  In the case of the delay, termination or withdrawal referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such Piggyback Shelf Registration or Piggyback Underwritten Offering
          shall be borne entirely by the Company as set forth in Section 6.7.

       

      Section 6.4           Selection of Underwriters.  The Board shall have the right to select, or delegate the
        selection of, any underwriter(s) in connection with any Demand Registration or Piggyback Underwritten Offering.

       

      Section 6.5        Priority on Registrations.  If the managing underwriter or underwriters of a Registration advise
        the Company in writing that in its or their opinion the number of Registrable Shares proposed to be sold in such Registration exceeds the number which can be sold, or adversely affects the price at which the Registrable Shares are to be sold, in
        such offering, the Company will include in such Registration only the number of Registrable Shares which, in the opinion of such underwriter or underwriters, can be sold in such offering without such adverse effect.  To the extent such Registration
        includes Registrable Shares of more than one Holder, the Registrable Shares so included in such Registration shall be apportioned as follows:

       

      
        33

        
          

      

      (a)         In the case of a Company initiated Registration, allocations shall be made: first,
          to the Company; second, to the Piggyback Holders exercising their right to participate in a Piggyback Underwritten Offering with any cutbacks applied on a pro
            rata basis among the participating Holders based on the total number of Registrable Shares included by such Holders as compared to the total number of shares included by all Holders in such Registration; and third, to all other Holders exercising piggyback registration rights that have been granted by the Company, with any cutbacks applied on a pro rata basis among such other
          Holders or as they may otherwise agree in writing.

       

      (b)        In the case of a Demand Registration or any shelf takedown pursuant to Section 6.3(b), allocations shall be
          made: first, to the Holders, with any cutbacks applied pro rata among the Holders based on the total number of Registrable Shares requested to be
          included by such Holders as compared to the total number of shares requested to be included by all Holders in such Registration; second, to all other Holders exercising piggyback registration
          rights granted by the Company, with any cutbacks applied on a pro rata basis among such other Holders or as they may otherwise agree in writing; and third,
          to the Company.

       

      (c)        In the case of a Registration initiated by any Person (other than the Company or a Demand Holder) exercising demand
          registration rights granted hereafter by the Company (if any), allocations shall be made: first, to the Holders, with any cutbacks applied pro rata among
          the Holders based on the total number of Registrable Shares requested to be included by such Holders as compared to the total number of shares requested to be included by all Holders in such Registration; second,
          to such initiating Person and to any other Holders exercising pari passu registration rights that have been granted by the Company allocated as such Persons have agreed among themselves; third, to the Company and to the Piggyback Holders exercising their right to participate in a Piggyback Underwritten Offering, with any cutbacks applied on a pro rata
          basis based on the total number of shares proposed to be included in such Registration by the Company or such Piggyback Holders; and fourth, to all other Holders exercising piggyback registration
          rights granted by the Company, with any cutbacks applied on a pro rata basis among such other Holders or as they may otherwise agree in writing.

       

      Section 6.6          Registration Procedures.  It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company
        and any underwriter or underwriters to take any action pursuant to this Article VI that each Holder requesting inclusion in any Piggyback Underwritten Offering or Demand Registration (including any registration with the SEC initiated by the
        Company or any other Person, each, a “Registration”), in each case, in accordance with this Article VI, shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder, the Registrable Shares held by it, the intended method of
        disposition of such Registrable Shares, and such agreements regarding indemnification, disposition of such securities and other matters referred to in this Article VI as the Company shall reasonably request and as shall be reasonably
        required in connection with the action to be taken by the Company; provided that (a) no Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to, or agreements with, the Company other than representations and warranties
        regarding such Holder and such Holder’s ownership of and title to the Registrable Shares to be sold in such offering and its intended method of distribution and (b) any liability of any such Holder under any underwriting agreement relating to such
        Registration shall be limited to liability arising from breach of its representations and warranties therein and shall be limited to an amount equal to the net amount received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to such
        Registration.  With respect to any Registration (including in connection with an IPO pursuant to Section 6.1), the Company (including its and its Subsidiaries’ officers, as applicable) will, subject to Section 6.2, Section 6.4
        and Section 6.5 promptly:

       

      
        34

        
          

      

      (a)         Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on the appropriate form prescribed by the SEC and use
          commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable thereafter and to be maintained in effect in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that the Company shall not
          be obligated to maintain such Registration effective for a period longer than the Effectiveness Period; provided, further, that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the
          Company will furnish to the Holders covered by such registration statement and the underwriter or underwriters, if any, copies of or drafts of all such documents proposed to be filed, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the filing thereof,
          which documents will be subject to the reasonable review of such Holders and underwriters.  Each Holder will have the opportunity to object to any information pertaining to such Holder that is contained therein and the Company will make the
          corrections reasonably requested by such Holder with respect to such information prior to filing any registration statement or amendment thereto or any prospectus or any supplement thereto; provided, however, that the Company will
          not file any registration statement or amendment thereto or any prospectus or any supplement thereto to which Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement or the underwriters, if any, shall reasonably
          object, except to the extent otherwise required by Applicable Law.

       

      (b)         Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to such registration statement and any
          documents required to be incorporated by reference therein as may be necessary to keep the registration statement effective for a period of not less than the Effectiveness Period (but not prior to the expiration of the time period referred to in
          Section 4(a)(3) of the 1933 Act and Rule 174 thereunder, if applicable); cause the prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act; and comply with
          the provisions of the 1933 Act applicable to it with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers
          thereof set forth in such registration statement or supplement to the prospectus.

       

      (c)          Furnish to participating Holders such number of conformed copies of the registration statement and any post-effective
          amendment thereto, as such Holders may reasonably request, and such number of copies of the prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendments or supplements thereto, and any documents incorporated by reference therein as the
          Holders or underwriter or underwriters, if any, may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the securities being sold by such Holders (it being understood that the Company consents in writing to the use of the prospectus and any
          amendment or supplement thereto by the Holders covered by the registration statement and the underwriter or underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the securities covered by the prospectus or any amendments or
          supplements thereto).

       

      (d)        Notify the participating Holders, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the
          1933 Act, when the Company becomes aware of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement (as then in effect) contains any untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material
          fact necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading and, as promptly as practicable thereafter, prepare and file with
          the SEC and furnish a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the investors of such securities, such prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
          necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

       

      
        35

        
          

      

      (e)          In the case of an underwritten offering, enter into such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in
          customary form) and make members of senior management of the Company available on a basis reasonably requested by the underwriters to participate in “road show” and other customary marketing activities (including one-on-one meetings with
          prospective purchasers of the Registrable Shares) and cause to be delivered to the underwriters reasonable opinions of counsel to the Company in customary form, covering such matters as are customarily covered by opinions for an underwritten
          public offering as the underwriters may reasonably request and addressed to each selling Holder and the underwriters.

       

      (f)          If requested, cause to be delivered, immediately prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement (and, in
          the case of an underwritten offering, at the time of delivery of any Registrable Shares sold pursuant thereto), “cold comfort” letters from the Company’s independent certified public accountants addressed to each selling Holder (unless such
          selling Holder does not provide to such accountants the appropriate representation letter required by rules governing the accounting profession) and each underwriter, if any, stating that such accountants are independent public accountants within
          the meaning of the 1933 Act and the applicable rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder, and otherwise in customary form and covering such financial and accounting matters as are customarily covered by letters of the independent
          certified public accountants delivered in connection with primary or secondary underwritten public offerings, as the case may be.

       

      (g)          Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Shares not later than the effective date of the
          registration statement.

       

      (h)          Use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Shares included in such registration statement to be
          listed, by the date of the first sale of securities pursuant to such registration statement, on any national securities exchange, quotation system or other market on which the Company Common Shares are then listed or proposed to be listed by the
          Company.

       

      (i)          After the filing of a registration statement, (i) promptly notify each Holder covered by such registration statement
          of any stop order issued or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened by the SEC and of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Shares for sale under the applicable
          securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction, and (ii) take all reasonable actions to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or the qualification of any Registrable Shares as promptly as
          possible.

       

      
        36

        
          

      

      (j)         On or prior to the date on which the registration statement is declared effective, use commercially reasonable
          efforts to register or qualify, and cooperate with each participating Holder, the underwriter or underwriters, if any, and their counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of, the securities covered by the registration statement
          for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of each state and other jurisdiction of the United States as the participating Holders or managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, requests in writing, to use commercially reasonable
          efforts to keep each such registration or qualification effective, including through new filings, or amendments or renewals, during the Effectiveness Period do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in
          all such jurisdictions of the Registrable Shares covered by the applicable registration statement; provided that the Company will not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or
          to take any action which would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise subject.

       

      (k)         Reasonably cooperate with the participating Holders and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to
          facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates or book-entry shares (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing securities to be sold under the registration statement, and enable such securities to be in such denominations
          and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, may request.

       

      (l)          Use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Shares covered by the registration statement to be
          registered with or approved by such other Governmental Authorities within the United States as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter or underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable
          Shares.

       

      (m)        To the extent the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) at the
          time any Request Notice is submitted to the Company pursuant to Section 6.2(a) which requests that the Company file an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) (an “automatic shelf registration
            statement”) on a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall file an automatic shelf registration statement that covers those Registrable Shares which are requested to be registered.  If the Company does not pay the filing fee covering
          Registrable Shares at the time the automatic shelf registration statement is filed, the Company agrees to pay such fee at such time or times as the Registrable Shares are to be sold.

       

      The participating Holders, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 6.6(d), will forthwith discontinue disposition of the
        securities until such Holders’ receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 6.6(d) or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be
        resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated by reference in the prospectus, and, if so directed by the Company, each Holder will, or will request the managing underwriter or underwriters, if
        any, to, deliver, to the Company (at the Company’s sole expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.  In the event
        the Company gives any such notice, the time periods mentioned in Section 6.6(a), Section 6.6(b) and Section 6.6(j) shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including any date of the giving of such
        notice to and including the date when each seller of securities covered by such registration statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 6.6(d) or the Advice.

       

      
        37

        
          

      

      Section 6.7           Registration Expenses.

       

      (a)         In the case of any Registration, the Company shall bear all expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or
          compliance with this Article VI, including all SEC and stock exchange or Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) registration and filing fees and expenses, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky
          laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Shares), rating agency fees, printing expenses, messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, fees and disbursements of
          counsel for the Company and all independent certified public accountants and any fees and disbursements of underwriters customarily paid by issuers or sellers of securities (but not including any underwriting discounts or commissions, or transfer
          taxes, if any, attributable to the sale of Registrable Shares by a Holder) and all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of one (1) legal counsel representing all Holders selling Registrable Shares under such Registration, with the counsel
          representing the Holders in connection with such Registration or sale reasonably chosen by the individual Holder selling the largest number of Registrable Shares included in such Registration, up to an aggregate amount of fifty thousand dollars
          ($50,000) per Registration.

       

      (b)         The obligation of the Company to bear the expenses described in Section 6.7(a) and to reimburse the
          participating Holders for the expenses described in Section 6.7(a) shall apply irrespective of whether a Registration, once properly demanded, if applicable, becomes effective, is withdrawn or suspended or revoked, or is converted to
          another form of registration and irrespective of when any of the foregoing shall occur.

       

      Section 6.8          Indemnification.

       

      (a)         Indemnification by the Company.  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its officers,
          directors, Affiliates and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act) such Holder, including any general partner or manager of any thereof, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
          (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or any amendment
          thereof or supplement thereto, in which such Holder participates in an offering of Registrable Shares or in any document incorporated by reference therein or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
          therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
          material fact in the information conveyed to any purchaser at the time of the sale to such purchaser, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or (iii) any violation by the Company of any
          federal, state, common or other law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company in connection with such registration, including the 1933 Act, any state securities or “blue sky” laws or any rule or regulation thereunder in connection with such
          registration, except insofar as the same are made in reliance on and in conformity with any information with respect to such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein.  The Company will also indemnify
          underwriters (as such term is defined in the 1933 Act), their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of
          the Holders.

       

      
        38

        
          

      

      (b)        Indemnification by the Holders.  In connection with any registration statement in which a Holder is
          participating, each such Holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to such Holder as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any registration statement or prospectus covering the Registrable
          Shares of such Holder and to the extent permitted by law agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act) the Company and any
          other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of or based upon any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
          statements in the registration statement or prospectus or preliminary prospectus (in the case of the prospectus or preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the
          extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in reliance on and in conformity with the written information or signed affidavit with respect to such Holder so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the registration
          statement or prospectus; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders and the liability of each such Holder shall be in proportion to and limited to the net amount
          received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to a registration statement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

       

      (c)         Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.  Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt
          written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification, and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment (after consultation with legal counsel) a conflict of interest may exist between
          such indemnified and indemnifying parties with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.  The failure to so notify the indemnifying
          party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability hereunder with respect to the action, except to the extent that such indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by the failure to give such notice; provided, however,
          that any such failure shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any other liability which it may have to any other party.  No indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation shall, except with the written consent of such
          indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement unless such judgment or settlement (A) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving
          by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation, and (B) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf
          of such indemnified party.  An indemnifying party shall not be liable under this Section 6.8 to any indemnified party regarding any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened
          claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or
          consent is consented to by such indemnifying party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay
          the fees and expenses of more than one (1) counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party there may be one (1) or more legal or equitable
          defenses available to such indemnified party which are in addition to or may conflict with those available to any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the
          reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel; provided, however, that such number of additional counsel must be reasonably acceptable to the indemnifying party.

       

      
        39

        
          

      

      (d)         Contribution.  If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Section 6.8(a) or Section
            6.8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party as contemplated by Section 6.8(a) or Section 6.8(b), then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss,
          claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, but also the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying
          party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder be greater in amount than the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon such sale or the amount for which such
          indemnifying party would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the indemnification provided in Section 6.8(b) had been available.

       

      Section 6.9           1934 Act Reports.  The Company agrees that at all times after it has filed a registration
        statement pursuant to the requirements of the 1933 Act relating to any class of equity securities of the Company, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to file in a timely manner all reports required to be filed by it pursuant to the 1934 Act
        to the extent the Company is required to file such reports.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may deregister any class of its equity securities under Section 12 of the 1934 Act or suspend its duty to file reports with respect to any class
        of its securities pursuant to Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act if it is then permitted to do so pursuant to the 1934 Act and rules and regulations thereunder.

       

      Section 6.10         Holdback Agreement.

       

      (a)         Whenever the Company proposes to effect a Registration of any of its equity securities under the 1933 Act for its own
          account (other than on Form S-4, S-8, S-3 or any similar successor form or another form used for a purpose similar to the intended use of such forms) in an underwritten offering or is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the
          registration of any Registrable Shares under the 1933 Act pursuant to a request by or on behalf of a Demand Holder pursuant to Section 6.2 in connection with an underwritten offering (including in connection with an IPO pursuant to Section
            6.1), if requested by the underwriters of such offering, each Holder of Registrable Shares hereby agrees, or does agree by acquisition of its Registrable Shares (and the Company further agrees to use reasonable best efforts to cause each of
          the Directors and executive Officers of the Company), not to effect any sale or distribution, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, or to request registration under Section 6.2 of any Registrable Shares during the
          Lock-up Period, except as part of such Registration; provided that exceptions shall exist for, following an IPO, small non-employee Holders in accordance with customary underwriting practices.  If requested by such managing underwriter,
          each Holder of Registrable Shares agrees to execute a holdback agreement in customary form, consistent with the terms of this Section 6.10(a) and, in any case, on terms no less favorable to the Holders than the holdback agreements
          executed by the Company’s directors and executive Officers.  No Holder’s obligations pursuant to a holdback agreement (other than small non-employee Holders in accordance with customary underwriting practices) shall be released or waived unless
          comparable waivers or releases are granted to the other Holders.

       

      
        40

        
          

      

      (b)         The Company agrees not to effect any sale or distribution of any of its Equity Securities or securities convertible
          into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of such securities within the Lock-up Period after an underwritten offering (except as part of such underwritten registration or pursuant to registrations on Form S-8, S-4 or S-3 or any successor forms
          thereto), except that such restriction shall not prohibit (i) grants of employee stock (or membership interest) options or other equity awards or other issuances of capital stock (or membership interests) pursuant to the terms of a Company
          employee benefit plan approved by the Board, issuances by the Company of capital stock (or membership interests) pursuant to the vesting of equity awards or the exercise of such options or the exercise of any other employee stock (or membership
          interest) options outstanding on the date hereof or subject to any equity incentive (or membership interest) plan, (ii) the Company from issuing shares of capital stock in private placements pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act or in
          connection with a strategic alliance or other similar business transaction approved by the Board, or (iii) the Company from publicly announcing its intention to issue, or actually issuing, shares of capital stock to equityholders of another
          entity as consideration for the Company’s acquisition of, or merger with, such entity.  In addition, upon the request of the managing underwriter, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each holder of its Equity Securities
          or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of such securities whether outstanding on the date of this Agreement or issued at any time after the date of this Agreement (other than any such securities acquired in a
          public offering), to agree not to effect any such public sale or distribution of such securities during such period, except as part of any such Registration if permitted, and to cause each such holder to enter into a holdback or similar agreement
          in customary form.

       

      Section 6.11        Blackout Periods.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) no Holder may sell any
        securities pursuant to Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 and (b) any registration statement may be suspended or a filing delayed by the Company, in either case, if the Company notifies the Holders that it has determined in good faith that
        (i) it is in the best interest of the Company not to disclose the existence of, or facts surrounding, any proposed or pending significant business transaction, financial project, acquisition, merger or corporate reorganization or other material
        development involving the Company, the disclosure of which would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Company or its business, or (ii) a significant business transaction, acquisition or merger has occurred and any financial
        statements or pro forma financial information required to be included or incorporated by reference in a registration statement or prospectus by Regulation S-X are unavailable without unreasonable effort and expense; provided that any Demand
        Holder may withdraw all or a portion of its Demand Registration during any Blackout Period without it counting as a Demand Registration; provided, further, that (A) the Company may not delay the filing or effectiveness of, or
        suspend, any registration statement in excess of one-hundred and twenty (120) days in any calendar year (such period and the seven (7) days prior to any one-hundred and twenty (120)-day period, a “Blackout Period”), plus an extension period, which shall be no longer than seventeen (17) days, as may be proposed by the managing underwriter solely to the extent required to address FINRA regulations regarding the publishing of research,
        (B) such registration statement shall remain effective subsequent to the cessation of such Blackout Period for a number of days equal to the Blackout Period, and (C) the Company may not file any registration statement during a Blackout Period.

       

      
        41

        
          

      

      Section 6.12         Participation in Registration.  No Holder may participate in any Registration hereunder which
        is underwritten unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell its securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements, and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires,
        powers of attorney, underwriting agreements and other documents customarily required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements and provides such written information concerning itself as may be required for registration, including for
        inclusion in any registration statement.

       

      Section 6.13        Other Registration Rights.  The Company represents that, as of the date hereof, it has not
        granted to any Person the right to request or require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to register any equity securities issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than as expressly set forth in this Article VI.

       

      Section 6.14         Pre-IPO; Rule 144.  If the Company determines to consummate an IPO, the Board shall have the
        power and authority to (and, to the extent necessary, appropriate or advisable, each Stockholder shall consent to and vote its Equity Securities in favor of) (a) merge, convert, combine or effect any other restructuring of the Company or any
        Subsidiary thereof in connection therewith, or (b) take such other actions as it may deem advisable, including causing the Stockholders to exchange or convert their Equity Securities for Common Stock, including of the newly-formed corporation (or
        for other equity interests, as applicable, in such other form of entity as may be selected by the Board), with substantially the same relative value and on the same terms and conditions applicable to all Stockholders (“Conversion Shares”).  After
        an IPO, the Company shall file any reports required to be filed by it under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder, and it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request to make
        available adequate current public information with respect to the Company meeting the current public information requirements of Rule 144(c) under the 1933 Act, to the extent required to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Shares without
        registration under the 1933 Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC.  Notwithstanding
        the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.14 shall be deemed to require the Company to register or maintain registration of any of its securities pursuant to the 1934 Act.  Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall reasonably cooperate
        with such Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates or book-entry shares (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing securities to be so sold within such exemption from registration, and enable such securities
        to be in such denominations as the selling Holders may request.

       

      Section 6.15         Coordination of Rule 144 Sales.  From time to time after the consummation of an IPO, the
        Stockholders will use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate any Rule 144 Transfers in accordance with this Section 6.15. Prior to any such Rule 144 Transfer, a Stockholder (the “Notifying Investor”) shall provide the GSO
        Stockholders with at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice (a “144 Notice”) of the Notifying Investor’s intention to transfer Company Common Shares for value in reliance on Rule 144. The 144 Notice is intended to permit all
        Stockholders electing to transfer Company Common Shares for value at such time to coordinate the timing and process for transferring their Company Common Shares in an orderly fashion.  In the event that the Notifying Investor is a GSO Stockholder,
        the Notifying Investor shall be entitled to require that each Stockholder shall sell in such Rule 144 Transfer no more than a number of Company Common Shares equal to such Stockholder’s Rule 144 Pro Rata Portion.

       

      
        42

        
          

      

      Section 6.16         Efforts to List Company Common Shares; Public Reporting Company; Deregistration.

       

      (a)         Following the Closing Date, the Company and each of the Debtors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
          effectuate the listing of the Company Common Shares on an Established OTC Marketplace or on a “national securities exchange” as defined pursuant to the 1934 Act, as amended, within two hundred and seventy (270) days after the Closing Date (the “Listing
            Period”); provided that, the Board may extend the Listing Period up to an additional two hundred and seventy (270) days in the event that the Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors sitting on the Board at such
          time) determines such extension is in the best interests of the Company.  At or prior to the listing of the Company Common Shares on an Established OTC Marketplace or on a national securities exchange, the Company shall use commercially
          reasonable efforts to reflect the ownership of the Company Common Shares through the facilities of the Depository Trust Company.

       

      (b)         For so long as the GSO Stockholders own the number of Company Common Shares equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%) of the Company Common Shares that they owned, in the aggregate, on the Closing Date (subject to
          adjustment for stock splits, stock subdivisions, and other similar actions), unless otherwise elected by the GSO Majority, the Company will be a public reporting company
          with the SEC (i.e., the Company shall file periodic reports with the SEC even if not technically required to do so following the Company’s
          deregistration under the 1934 Act).

       

      (c)         For the avoidance of doubt, nothing set forth in this Agreement shall prohibit or otherwise restrict the
          deregistration of the Company under the 1934 Act, which deregistration shall be subject to the approval of the Board and its determination that such deregistration is both legally permissible and in the best interests of the Company.

       

      Section 6.17         Further Assurance.  Each Holder hereby agrees to take any and all reasonable actions required
        to be taken hereunder to ensure the performance by it of its obligations pursuant to this Article VI.

       

      ARTICLE VII.

        

        REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

       

      Section 7.1           Representations and Warranties of Stockholders.  Each Stockholder (solely on behalf of itself
        and not with respect to any other Stockholder, and other than each GSO Stockholder with respect to Section 7.1(a)(v)) hereby represents, warrants and acknowledges as follows:

       

      
        43

        
          

      

      (a)          Generally.  As of the Closing Date:

       

      (i)          Status.  Such Stockholder, if not an individual, is duly organized and validly existing
          under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization (as the case may be).  Such Stockholder has the requisite power and authority (and if applicable, capacity) to own its property and to carry on its business as now conducted, to the extent
          material to its rights and obligations under this Agreement.

       

      (ii)        Authority.  Such Stockholder has the requisite power and authority (and, if applicable,
          capacity) to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
          contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of such Stockholder.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Stockholder and constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of such
          Stockholder, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

       

      (iii)        No Breach or Default.  The execution, delivery and performance by such Stockholder of this
          Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will not constitute a breach of any term or provision of, or a default under (A) any outstanding indenture, mortgage, loan agreement or other similar Contract or agreement to which such
          Stockholder or any of its Affiliates is a party or by which it or any of its Affiliates or its or their property is bound, (B) if not an individual, its certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws or other governing documents, (C) any law,
          rule or regulation applicable to such Stockholder or its properties or assets, or (D) any order, writ, judgment or decree applicable to such Stockholder, except (in case of each of the foregoing clauses (A), (C) and (D))
          as would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a material and adverse effect on such Stockholder, the Company, its Affiliates or the transactions contemplated hereby.

       

      (iv)        Consents and Approvals.  All material consents, licenses, approvals and authorizations, if
          any, and all material filings and registrations, required from any governmental body, authority, bureau or agency for or on the part of such Stockholder or any of its Affiliates in connection with its execution and delivery of this Agreement and
          its holding of Equity Securities have been obtained on or prior to the Closing Date.

       

      (v)          Company Competitor.  Such Stockholder is not a Company Competitor.

       

      
        44

        
          

      

      
        (b)          Investment Representations.

      

       

        

      (i)          Such Stockholder is acquiring its Equity Securities for its own account and not for the account of
          any other Person.  Such Stockholder is acquiring its Equity Securities solely for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, the distribution or other disposition thereof either currently or after the passage of a fixed
          or determinable period of time or upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any predetermined event or circumstance in violation of the 1933 Act.  Further, such Stockholder understands that the sale and issuance of the Rights Offering Shares, the
          Participation Premium Shares issued to Participating Noteholders, the Plan Sponsor Backstop Commitment Shares, the Plan Sponsor Backstop Commitment Fee Shares and the Noteholder Backstop Commitment Fee Shares (each as defined in the Plan, and
          collectively, the “Section 4(a)(2) Securities”) have not been registered under the 1933 Act, applicable state securities laws or the securities or similar laws of any other jurisdiction whatsoever, and, therefore, the Section 4(a)(2)
          Securities cannot be sold, resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the securities and similar laws of each applicable jurisdiction, or unless exemptions from such registration requirements
          are available.  Such Stockholder understands that dispositions of its Equity Securities can be made only (A) as explicitly permitted or contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, and (B) in compliance with the 1933 Act and the rules and
          regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder and all applicable state securities and “blue sky” laws; and such Stockholder understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the offer or sale of any Equity Securities in any
          jurisdiction whatsoever or to assist the Stockholders in complying with any exemption from registration under the securities or similar laws of any jurisdiction whatsoever (except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement).

       

      (ii)         Such Stockholder understands that it may bear the economic risk of an investment in the Equity
          Securities for an indefinite period of time, and such Stockholder’s financial situation is such that it can afford to bear the economic risk of holding its Equity Securities for an indefinite period of time and suffer a complete loss of its
          investment in the Company.

       

      (iii)        Such Stockholder further acknowledges that there are substantial risks in making an investment in
          the Company (including loss of the entire amount of such investment), that such Stockholder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Company and that such Stockholder has evaluated such risks and determined that the
          Company Common Shares are a suitable investment for such Stockholder.  Such Stockholder has such knowledge and experience in business, financial and tax matters, including experience in investing in non-listed and non-registered securities, and
          is a sophisticated investor capable of utilizing the information made available to it in connection with its investment in the Equity Securities to evaluate the merits and risks of its investment in the Company, to make an informed investment
          decision with respect thereto and to protect its interests in connection with such investment.

       

      (iv)       Such Stockholder and its legal, tax, accounting and financial advisors have been provided an
          opportunity to ask questions of and receive information from a Person or Persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the investment in the Company and such other matters as such Stockholder and any of its advisors have deemed necessary or
          desirable.

       

      Section 7.2           Survival.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the provisions of this
        Article VII shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement.

       

      
        45

        
          

      

      ARTICLE VIII.

        

        MISCELLANEOUS

       

      Section 8.1          Reimbursement of Expenses.  The Company shall pay and reimburse each of the GSO Stockholders
        and the Noteholder Backstop Stockholders for all of their respective reasonable costs and expenses associated with their due diligence and preparation, negotiation, administration, syndication and closing of all definitive documentation relating to
        this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or in connection herewith (including the investment in Equity Securities by each of the GSO Stockholders and the Noteholder Backstop Stockholders (including any bankruptcy or similar process
        involving the Company or any of its predecessors in connection therewith)), including the costs, fees and expense of legal counsel and other third party advisors.

       

      Section 8.2           Termination.

       

      (a)         This Agreement shall automatically terminate immediately upon the earliest to occur of (i) an IPO, (ii) the listing of the Company (or a successor entity or Affiliate thereof) on an Established OTC Marketplace or on a national securities exchange, and (iii) a Company Sale as a result of which
            the GSO Stockholders owns less than ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding Equity Securities or the equity securities of surviving entity following such Company Sale (unless waived by the GSO Majority); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the Director nomination rights set forth in Section
              2.1(a)(i)(A), (B) the consent rights set forth in Section 2.6, (C) the Registration
            rights of the GSO Stockholders set forth in Section 6.2 and Section 6.3, (D) the deregistration rights set forth in Section 6.16(c) and (E) the rights and obligations
            contemplated by Section 6.15, shall, in each case, survive any termination pursuant to the preceding clause (i) or clause (ii) (other than with respect to the Director
            nomination rights set forth in Section 2.1(a)(i)(A) which shall be limited to the extent necessary to comply with applicable national
            securities exchange).

       

      (b)         Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the provisions of Section 2.5, Section 3.3, Section 6.7 and
          this Article VIII shall survive any termination of this Agreement.  Nothing in this Section 8.2 shall relieve any party from liability for any breaches of any provision of this Agreement prior to the termination thereof in
          accordance with the foregoing.

       

      Section 8.3           Entity Form of Company; Governing Documents.

       

      (a)        The Company shall be constituted as a C-corporation; provided that, for so long as the GSO Stockholders own the number of Company Common Shares equal to or greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company Common Shares that they owned, in the aggregate, on the Closing Date (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock subdivisions, and other similar actions), the GSO Majority, with prior notice and consultation with the Debtors may elect to constitute the Company in a different corporate, company partnership or other entity form.

       

      Section 8.4           Amendments and Waivers.  No amendment, alteration or modification of this Agreement or waiver
        of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective against any of the parties without the prior written approval of the Board; provided that any amendment that materially and disproportionately adversely affects the obligations or rights
        of any Stockholder (or class of Stockholders) relative to any other Stockholders (or any other classes of Stockholders) shall require the consent of the Stockholders representing a majority of the Equity Securities so adversely affected.  The
        failure of any party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of such provision and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

       

      
        46

        
          

      

      Section 8.5           Successors, Assigns and Transferees.  This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of
        and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

       

      Section 8.6           Legends.  All certificates representing Equity Securities held by each Stockholder shall bear

      Section 8.8          Further Assurances.  Without limiting anything contained in this Agreement and subject thereto,
        at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, the parties hereto agree to cooperate with one another, and at the request of any other party, to execute and deliver any further reasonable instruments or documents and to take all such
        further reasonable action as any other party may reasonably request in order to evidence or effectuate the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and to otherwise carry out the intent of the parties hereunder.

       

      Section 8.9         Entire Agreement.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement and the other
        agreements contemplated hereby embody the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the
        parties, written or oral, that may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 8.9 shall affect, amend, limit or otherwise modify the rights and obligations of any Person
        (including the parties hereto) under any other written agreement to which such Person is a party (collectively, “Other Agreements”); provided, however, that in the event of any contradiction or inconsistency between the
        provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any Other Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control with respect to the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Stockholders.

       

      Section 8.10        Organizational Documents.  In the event that any provisions of this Agreement conflict or are
        inconsistent with the provisions of the Charter or the Bylaws, the provisions of this Agreement shall control, and each of the parties to this Agreement covenants and agrees to vote its Equity Securities and to take any other action reasonably
        requested by the Company or any Stockholder to amend the Charter or the Bylaws, as the case may be and to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, so as to avoid or eliminate any conflict with the provisions hereof.

      Section 8.11        Delays or Omissions.  It is agreed that no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or
        remedy accruing to any party, upon any breach, default or noncompliance by another party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach, default or noncompliance, or
        any acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach, default or noncompliance thereafter occurring.  It is further agreed that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party hereto of any breach,
        default or noncompliance under this Agreement or any waiver on such party’s part of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.  All remedies,
        either under this Agreement, by law, or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

       

      Section 8.12         Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.  This Agreement shall be governed by and
        construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to the conflicts of law principles thereof to the extent such principles would require or permit the application of laws of another jurisdiction.  The parties hereto
        irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery shall be unavailable, any other court of the State of Delaware or, in the case of claims to which the federal courts have
        exclusive subject matter jurisdiction, any federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware) in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and hereby irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such
        action may and shall be heard and determined in such state or federal court.  The parties hereto irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
        proceeding and any rights they may have to transfer or change venue of such action or proceeding.  The parties hereto further agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that judgment against any of them in any action or proceeding contemplated
        above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction within or outside the United States of America by suit on the judgment.  EACH OF THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
        IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR
        RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.  (A) EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES 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, (B) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS
        AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.12.

       

      Section 8.13        Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such
        manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any Applicable Law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or
        unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained
        herein.

       

      
        49

        
          

      

      Section 8.14        Enforcement.  Each party hereto acknowledges that money damages would not be an adequate remedy
        in the event that any of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement are not performed in accordance with its terms, and it is therefore agreed that in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, the non-breaching
        party will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof.

       

      Section 8.15         Titles and Subtitles.  The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for
        convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.

       

      Section 8.16       No Recourse.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company and each
        Stockholder agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement, shall be had against any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, advisor,
        attorney, representative, general or limited partner, stockholder or member of any Stockholder or of any Affiliate or assignee thereof, or any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, advisor, attorney, representative, general
        or limited partner, stockholder or member of the foregoing (each a “Stockholder Affiliate”), whether by the enforcement of any judgment or assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation, theory or
        other Applicable Law or otherwise, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred, whether by piercing of the corporate (or limited liability company or
        limited partnership) veil, by a claim (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise), by any Stockholder Affiliate or assignee thereof, as such for any obligation of any Stockholder under this Agreement or any documents or
        instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.

       

      Section 8.17         Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of
        counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.  This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature(s).

       

      Section 8.18        No Partnership.  Nothing in this Agreement and no actions taken by the parties hereto under
        this Agreement shall constitute a partnership, joint venture, association or other co-operative entity between any of the parties hereto or cause any party hereto to be deemed the agent of any other party for any purpose.
