WHEREAS

 

1.              Executive is employed as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Company pursuant to that certain Third Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated as of June 27, 2011; and

 

2.              The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors has determined that total compensation for key executives (including Executive) at target level of performance should be in line with the 60th percentile for the Company’s peer group as disclosed in its Proxy Statement (the “Executive Compensation Benchmark”); and

 

3.              The Committee’s Compensation Consultant, Willis Towers Watson, (“WTW”) conducts a bi-annual competitive assessment of executive compensation, the most recent being conducted in fiscal 2016 (the “Competitive Assessment”); and

 

4.              The Competitive Assessment determined that Executive’s total compensation was below the Executive Compensation Benchmark for individuals at his level within the peer group, and, therefore, in August 2016 the Committee, in consultation with WTW, created a Plan with the purpose of (i) adjusting Executive’s total compensation to the Executive Compensation Benchmark by fiscal 2019 and (ii) retaining Executive’s services through fiscal 2019;

 

5.              In addition to proposed base salary adjustments, the Plan provided for potential equity grants as follows:

 

a)             Fiscal 2017

 

i.                  a performance-based Restricted Stock Unit (“RSU”) with a dollar-equivalent value of $1,205,000

ii.               a four-year time-vested RSU with a dollar-equivalent value of $594,000

 

b)             Fiscal 2018

 

i.                  A performance-based RSU with a dollar-equivalent value of $1,567,000

ii.               A three-year time-vested RSU with a dollar-equivalent value of $772,000

 

c)              Fiscal 2019

 

i.                  a combined grant with 60% performance vesting and 40% time vesting over a four-year period with a dollar-equivalent value of $2,409,000.

 

6.              The potential equity grants as described under 5(a) (i), 5 (a) (ii), and 5 (b) (ii) immediately above have been granted and the potential equity grants under 5(b) (i) and 5 (c)(i)  immediately above have not been granted.

 

 

7.              The Company is currently in a process which may result in the acquisition of all of its outstanding stock (a “Transaction”) with the signing of a definitive agreement on March 30, 2017 and a closing on or about the close of the Company’s fiscal year on or about June 30, 2017.

 

NOW THEREFORE

 

In consideration the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1.              In consideration of Executive’s assistance in bringing the Transaction to a successful completion and remaining with TRC in good standing through the Closing Date (as defined in the applicable definitive agreement), Executive will be eligible for a lump sum cash bonus less applicable withholding taxes (the “Completion Bonus”) upon the Closing of the Transaction.

 

The Completion Bonus shall be computed as follows:

 

Completion Bonus = $2,400,000 + (A x B) where:

 

A = $1,567,000 divided by the average closing price of TRC common stock on the New  York Stock Exchange over the 90 trading days prior to the signing by the Purchaser of a definitive agreement for the Transaction, and

 

B = The per share purchase price stated in such definitive agreement.

 

2.              If a Transaction closes, the potential equity awards under 5(b)(i) and 5(c)(i) above will not be granted.

 

3.              This agreement will have a one year term and payment of any Completion Bonus will be made within 30 days following the Closing of the Transaction.  No Completion Bonus will be payable if a Transaction does not close within the term of this agreement.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have hereunto set their hands.

Attn: Mr. Stephen J. Foley

 

Re:                             Adjustment to Credit Facility

 

Dear Steve:

 

Pursuant to this letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”), between Providence Energy Partners III, LP, whose address is 16400 North Dallas Parkway, Suite 400, Dallas, TX 75248 (“PEP III”) and PetroShare Corp., whose address is 9635 Maroon Circle, Suite 400, Englewood, CO 80112 (formerly at 7200 S. Alton Way, Suite B220, Centennial, CO 80112) (“PetroShare” and, together with PEP III, the “Parties”), the parties intend to address and agree, as between PEP III and PetroShare, to the treatment of certain payments under, and related amendments to, the Revolving Line of Credit Facility Agreement, dated October 13, 2016, between PEP III (as lender) and PetroShare (as borrower) (the “Credit Agreement”), together with the Promissory Note, dated March 13, 2016, issued by PetroShare (as borrower) to PEP III (as lender) in conjunction with the Credit Agreement (the “Promissory Note”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Letter Agreement will have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement and the Promissory Note, as applicable.

 

Please indicate PetroShare’s agreement with the terms of this Letter Agreement by executing the applicable signature block below, and by executing and returning the amendments to the Credit Agreement and the Promissory Agreement that are attached as Exhibits A and B hereto (the “Amendments”).  This Letter Agreement and the Amendments shall become binding upon PEP III and PetroShare upon the execution of this Letter Agreement by each of PEP III and PetroShare, with the date of such full execution referred to herein as the “Effective Date”.

 

The Parties hereby agree to the following:

 

1.  Repayment of 50% of Principal Balance.  In its capacity as Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the Promissory Note, on April 13, 2017, PetroShare shall repay to PEP III fifty percent (50%) of its then-outstanding principal balance under the Line of Credit established pursuant to the Credit Agreement (the “April Payment”).  The Parties estimate that, as of the date of this letter, PetroShare’s current outstanding principal balance under the Line of Credit is $7,105,000.00; and that the April Payment will be in the amount of $3,552,500.00.  The April Payment shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the Promissory

 

1

 

Note, including terms pertaining to payments made thereunder; provided that the Parties agree that failure to make the April Payment by April 13, 2017 shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Credit Agreement and an immediate Event of Acceleration under the Promissory Note.

 

2.  Repayment of Remainder of Balance.  In its capacity as Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the Promissory Note, on June 13, 2017, PetroShare shall repay all amounts then-outstanding under the Line of Credit established pursuant to the Credit Agreement, including principal and interest (the “June Payment”).  The Parties estimate that, taking into account the Parties estimate of PetroShare’s current outstanding principal balance under the Line of Credit and assuming that PetroShare makes the April Payment by the applicable deadline, in each case as set forth in paragraph 1 above, and assuming that PetroShare does not obtain any further Advances under the Line of Credit, PetroShare’s total outstanding balance under the Line of Credit as of June 13, 2017 will be a principal balance in the amount of $3,552,500.00 and accrued interest in the amount of $255,734.55; and that the June Payment will be in the amount of $3,808,234.55.

 

3.  Extension of Maturity Date; No Further Advances.  The Parties recognize that the date of the June Payment represents an extension of the Maturity Date under the Credit Agreement and the Promissory Note from April 13, 2017 to June 13, 2017, which is agreed to by PEP III in exchange for the April Payment and PetroShare’s other commitments under this Letter Agreement and the amendments to the Credit Agreement and the Promissory Note, as contemplated in paragraphs 4 and 5 below.  As further consideration for the extension of the Maturity Date, PetroShare further agrees that, as of and following the Effective Date, it shall not have any further right under the Credit Agreement and the Promissory Note to request or receive any Advances under the Line of Credit established under the Credit Agreement (also referred to as the “Credit Facility” under the Promissory Note), nor shall PEPIII have any further obligation to make any further Advances under the Line of Credit.

 

4.  Amendment to Credit Agreement.  The Credit Agreement shall be amended in accordance with that certain First Amendment to Revolving Line of Credit Facility Agreement, attached as Exhibit A hereto.

 

5.  Amendment to Promissory Note.  The Promissory Note shall be amended in accordance with that certain First Amendment to Promissory Note, attached as Exhibit B hereto.

 

6.  Incorporated Provisions; Conflicts. The Section of the Credit Agreement titled “Miscellaneous” is hereby incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth in its entirety herein; provided that, in the event of any conflict between the Credit Agreement, the Promissory Note or any document executed by the Parties in accordance therewith, and this Letter Agreement, this Letter Agreement shall apply.  Notwithstanding any adjustments to the Credit Agreement and the Promissory Note pursuant to this Letter Agreement or the Amendments, all security established in favor of PEP III pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the Promissory Note, including the Deeds of Trust, shall remain in effect and shall continue to apply to repayment of PetroShare’s indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and the Promissory Note.

 

If the foregoing is consistent with your understanding and is acceptable to you, please execute one copy of this Letter Agreement and return it to us whereupon this Letter Agreement shall become a binding agreement between the Parties. This Letter Agreement may not be

amended, or any provision thereof waived, unless each undersigned party consents in writing thereto.

Alton Way, Suite B220, Centennial, CO 80112) (“Borrower”).  Lender and Borrower may sometimes be referred to as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, Lender and Borrower are parties to that certain Revolving Line of Credit Facility Agreement dated as of October 13, 2016 (the “Line of Credit”), pursuant to which Lender agreed to loan to Borrower up to $10,000,000 in accordance with the terms thereof; and

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Line of Credit, Borrower also executed and delivered to Lender that certain Promissory Note dated as of October 13, 2016 (“Promissory Note”), which Promissory Note provided the terms of repayment of all monies borrowed under the Line of Credit; and

 

WHEREAS, both the Line of Credit and Promissory Note provide that all principal and accrued interest shall be paid by Borrower to Lender not later than April 13, 2017; and

 

WHEREAS, Lender and Borrower have entered into a Letter Agreement on or around the date of this Amendment, whereby they have agreed to amend the Line of Credit and the Promissory Note to extend the maturity date of all monies borrowed thereunder until June 13, 2017, in exchange for Borrower’s promise to repay, on April 13, 2017, fifty percent (50%) of its then-outstanding principal balance under the Line of Credit and the Promissory Note.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1.              Maturity Date. Subject to paragraph 2 below, the maturity date of all monies extended by Lender and borrowed by Borrower is hereby extended to June 13, 2017, and the paragraph of the Line of Credit entitled “Maturity Date” is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

 

June 13, 2017, on which date Borrower agrees to repay the remaining unpaid balance of the Line of Credit in its entirety, including all outstanding principal, interest, fees, expenses and other amounts due in connection therewith. Any extension of the Maturity Date shall be at Lender’s sole option and discretion.

For the avoidance of doubt, payment of such money shall be in addition to any prior repayments of principal or payments of interest under the Line of Credit and the Promissory Note that may have been made by Borrower to Lender prior to the date of this Amendment.

 

 

3.              Change of Address.  For any purpose required or permitted under the Line of Credit, the address of Borrower shall be: 9635 Maroon Circle, Suite 400, Englewood, CO 80112.

5.              Representations of the Parties.

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
